GDF promotes 88 officers, 260 other ranks in simple ceremony

By Alex Wayne EIGHTY-eight officers and 260 other ranks of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) have been promoted effective January 1, 2014, according to an announcement from the Guyana Defence Force (GDF). The said declaration informs also that in accordance with the Defence Act, Chapter 15:01 of 1977, Chief-of-Staff Brigadier Mark Phillips has announced that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Donald Ramotar, has approved the 42 officers and 96 other ranks being confirmed in their positions; while 46 other officers and 164 other ranks have been elevated in rank.

Georgetown Magistrates Courts relocating to original, refurbished building today

The refurbished Georgetown Magistrates Courts building (Adrian Narine Photo) HAVING been closed for almost three years to facilitate repairs, the refurbished Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, located at the

corner of Avenue of the Republic and Brickdam in Georgetown, will be re-opened today and proceedings would accordingly be resumed at that location. On January 9, a notice to this effect was issued by acting Chancellor of the Judiciary, Justice Carl A. Singh, OR, CCH. During the time of repairs, Courts One, Two, Three, Five, Eight and Nine were relocated to the former Globe Trust Building at 92 Middle Street, Georgetown. The newly renovated and modernised structure is expected to accommodate 11 courtrooms. (Geeta Rampersaud)

Mr. Granger, if you are really in charge instruct Mr. Greenidge to attend the meeting-says Finance Minister

MINISTER of Finance, Dr. Ashni Singh is calling on leader of the Opposition, David Granger to assert his authority and have his finance spokesperson, Carl Greenidge, respond to the invitation by the Minister to meet for discussions the 2014 Budget. This call by the minister is being made at a time when Kaieteur News reported that government has not consulted with the opposition in preparation of the 2014 budget. “This is a repeat of history that occurred just a year ago,” said the Minister. During budget preparations for 2013, Mr. Greenidge was invited to attend the meetings in the capacity of Shadow Finance Minister. Instead of attending the meetings he disappeared overseas for an extended period and made himself unavailable for consultations. “What was worse last year,” says Singh, “is that no one in the Opposition appeared able to shed light on Mr. Greenidge’s whereabouts.” Mr. Granger is claiming that government has not consulted with the Opposition with regard to Budget 2014, two months before it is expected to be presented to Parliament. However Singh in a press release issued on Saturday called out the Opposition for making a false accusation. The Minister noted that as recent as

NICIL records $6.965B revenue for 2012

THE Annual Report of the National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited (NICIL) for 2012 was tabled by Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh in the National Assembly last Thursday. The Auditor General’s Department, which audited NICIL’s financial statements for 2012, was satisfied that NICIL had complied with the legislative requirements as stated in the Companies Act of 1991. The report said that NICIL directors are satisfied that the company has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future. The company’s revenue totalled some $6.965B as at December 31, 2012, which resulted in after-tax revenue of $6.205B, and the director approved an interim dividend of $1B to its shareholders. Executive Director of NICIL, Winston Brassington, was the only director with a service contract with the company. NICIL is a wholly state-owned company.

Teenager shot by stray bullet outside popular city nightclub

SEVENTEEN-year-old Joseph Johnson of Queen Street, Kitty, was shot to the face Saturday morning by a stray bullet intended for a thief who was attempting to break into the car of a patron of the Palm Court nightclub, a police press release has said. The teenager was rushed to a private hospital where he is receiving medical attention. The shot teen is the son of Nigel Johnson, owner of Nigel’s Supermarket in Robb Street, Bourda. The Guyana Chronicle was informed that he had been standing a short distance from where the man was attempting to burglarise the car. Persons in the nightclub scampered for cover upon hearing the sound of gunfire, although the shooting took place outside of the nightclub. The police did not say whether the gunman was a licensed firearm holder and if he

had been taken into custody. The police are continuing their investigation into the matter, but it is not clear if the suspected thief had been captured.

Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh

Opposition Leader David Granger

January 13, 2014 an email was sent, addressed to Mr. Greenidge asking for him to suggest a date and time for the government and opposition teams to meet. The email was also copied to David

Granger, Lance Carberry, Khemraj Ramjattan, Dr. Roger Luncheon and Ms. Gail Teixeira. The statement also noted that the email to Greenidge also contained copies of documents to be discussed. “To date my invitation has been met with stony silence by Granger and Greenidge,” noted the minister’s statement. Singh is now calling on the Opposition Leader to assert his authority and instruct Mr. Greenidge to respond to the invitation for budget consultations. “If Mr. Greenidge is unavailable to participate in budget talks this year, as he was last year, he should do the decent thing and let the Leader of the Opposition appoint someone else to lead the Opposition team to the Budget talks 2014,” the Finance Minister asserts. The statement issued on Saturday also noted that the invitation issued a week ago, was not the first of its kind issued to the Opposition to discuss the 2014 Budget. According to the Ministry of Finance, a Government team has already initiated discussions with the Opposition in the latter part of 2013 and is looking forward to continued cooperation on the issue as preparations windup for the March 2014 budget deadline.

House defers Wildlife and Cricket Administration Bills TWO bills were deferred by the National Assembly on Thursday evening when they came up for consideration. Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment, Robert Persaud, moved the motion to defer the Wildlife Import and Export Bill 2013, which was slated for its second reading. That bill is intended to regulate international trade of Guyana’s wildlife, and to enable Guyana to fulfil its obligations under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, Washington, 1973 The Guyana Cricket Administration Bill 2012 was again deferred. That Bill was listed on the Parliamentary Order Paper in the name of Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony, who was absent from Thursday’s sitting. It looks at making provisions for the incorporation of autonomous national cricket administration organisations in Guyana, and to provide for other related matters. The bill was tabled by government in December 2012 in a bid to end the impasse over the national game. It provides constitutions for

the GCB and the Demerara, Berbice and Essequibo Cricket Boards; and is divided into five parts, with one schedule addressing the autonomy of the respective boards. That bill was the subject of much discussion by critical stakeholders within the cricket fraternity, and was reviewed by a Special Select Committee of the National Assembly of Guyana. A year after it was initially tabled, the combined Op-

position voted against a petition presented by government Member of Parliament (MP) Odinga Lumumba on behalf of the constituent members and stakeholders of cricket, which requested that the National Assembly expedite the passage of the Guyana Cricket Administration Bill 2012 -- Bill No 31 of 2012. The petitioners, who numbered more than 30, said they were convinced that expediting the bill was the only solution to resolving the cricket crisis, and

to preclude the possibility of cricket being used as a conduit for laundering money. Government’s Chief Whip, Gail Teixeira, stressed that the public has a right to be represented in the House, and noted that it was the Clerk’s role to determine whether motions could be allowed in the National Assembly. Both bills were deferred to a sitting in the near future. (Vanessa Narine)

Protesters clash with police at large Ukraine rally By Richard Balmforth and Natalia Zinets (Reuters) - Protesters clashed with riot police in the Ukrainian capital on Sunday after tough anti-protest legislation, which the political

Despite appeals from opposition leaders not to resort to violence, and a personal intervention from boxer-turned-politician Vitaly Klitschko, protesters continued to throw smoke bombs and hurl fireworks and other objects at police.

Pro-European protesters attack a police van during a rally near government administration buildings in Kiev January 19, 2014. opposition says paves the way for a police state, was rushed through parliament last week. A group of young masked demonstrators attacked a cordon of police with sticks and tried to overturn a bus blocking their way to the parliament building after opposition politicians called on people to disregard the new legislation.

The police appeared to show restraint during that fracas. The interior ministry said 30 police were hurt, including more than 10 admitted to hospital and four in serious condition. A spokeswoman for Klitschko tweeted that President Viktor Yanukovich had agreed to meet Klitschko immediately at the presidential residence out-

side Kiev, although there was no confirmation from Yanukovich’s side. Klitschko later tweeted that the president had agreed to set up a committee on Monday to settle the political crisis. As tensions continued into the night, police used water cannon against demonstrators gathered near the parliament building and the heavily protected government headquarters, eyewitnesses said. Earlier, some distance away from the clashes, up to 100,000 Ukrainians massed on Kiev’s Independence Square in defiance of the sweeping new laws, which ban rallies and which Washington and other Western capitals have denounced as undemocratic. The rally, the biggest of the new year, was the latest in a cycle of public protests in the former Soviet republic since Yanukovich made a policy U-turn in November away from the European Union towards Russia, Ukraine’s former Soviet overlord. Several big protests in December attracted hundreds of thousands of people, while thousands maintained a vigil in a Kiev square demanding Yanukovich resign. Since the new year demonstrations have become smaller, but hundreds of people are still camping in the square and 50,000 turned out a week ago.

Islamist rebels reject ‘hollow’ Syria peace talks (Reuters) - A powerful alliance of Syrian Islamist rebels rejected upcoming peace talks on Sunday, meaning that even if the talks reach an unlikely breakthrough in the three year old civil war, it will be harder to implement it on the ground. Syria’s main political opposition group in exile, the National Coalition, agreed on Saturday to attend the talks beginning on Wednesday in Geneva, setting up the first meeting between President Bashar al-Assad’s government and its foes. But the Islamic Front, an alliance of several Islamist fighting forces that represents a large portion of the rebels on the ground, said on Sunday it rejected the talks. Syria’s future would be “formulated here on the ground of heroism, and signed with blood on the front lines, not in

hollow conferences attended by those who don’t even represent themselves,” Abu Omar, a leading member of the Islamic Front, said on his Twitter account. Some 130,000 people have been killed and a quarter of Syrians driven from their homes in the civil war, which began with peaceful protests against 40 years of Assad family rule and has descended into a sectarian conflict, with the opposing sides armed and funded by Sunni Arab states and Shi’ite Iran. SOME AID REACHES BESIEGED AREA In what appeared to be a symbolic conciliatory move ahead of the talks, Syria permitted some aid to reach a besieged suburb of Damascus on Saturday and Sunday, state media said.

Saturday’s shipment included only 200 food parcels for Yarmouk, a camp of Palestinian refugees where 15 people have died of malnutrition so far under a seven-month siege. U.N. Relief Works Agency spokesman Chris Gunness said it would feed just 330 of the camp’s 18,000 residents for a month. It was not immediately clear how much aid made it through on Sunday. Cold War foes Moscow and Washington, which have emerged as the leading proand anti-Assad powers, have urged both parties to make concessions, including ceasefires, access for aid and prisoner exchanges, to build confidence before the conference. Russian news agency ItarTass cited Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov as saying that the opposition Coalition had made “a correct decision” in agreeing to attend.

St Lucia: Warwickshire man Roger Pratt murdered

Roger Pratt died trying to protect his wife from attackers

(BBC News) A British man has been murdered on the Caribbean island of St Lucia as he tried to defend his wife from attackers. Roger Pratt, 62, was killed on board the couple’s yacht in the town of Vieux Fort on Friday night, police said. His wife, Margaret, was treated for injuries sustained in the attack which took place while the Warwickshire couple were on a round-the-world trip. Police said three people

False Papers Probe

Minister awaiting report on audit that discovered ‘discrepancies’ in credentials of officials at Health Authority... By Anika Gumbs CCN Senior Multimedia Investigative Journalist (Sunday Express) Interview files have gone missing following the discovery of massive irregularities during an audit into recruitment at the Eastern Regional Health Authority (ERHA). The misrepresentation of academic qualifications relating to the hiring of the chief operations officer (COO) Wayne Oudit was among the findings. According to the audit dated December 19, 2013 and conducted by internal auditor John Pouchet, management duped the board of directors (BOD) into believing that Oudit possessed a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA). In fact, the findings stated it was the second time management had misled the board by representing that Oudit was the holder of a MBA. The first occasion was in 2011 when Oudit was hired as the general manager of finance at the ERHA. In spite of the authority stating that recruitment was subject to the relevant background

checks being conducted, Oudit’s false academic MBA qualification was submitted to the board via board paper reference number BOD/2011/338 for him to be hired. This was contrary to Oudit’s curriculum vitae (CV) that lists him as partially completing the MBA in General Management from Henley Management College in the United Kingdom. Oudit’s CV fails to list the year he enrolled to pursue the MBA in General Management. And nowhere in Oudit’s CV is he listed as attaining the MBA. However, for a second time another board paper reference number BOD/2013/192 was falsely prepared stating otherwise for Oudit to be given the nod to be hired as the authority’s COO. Exactly who is responsible for padding the board papers with the false information is unknown. But the saga does not end there though as perusal of the audit showed that from the inception, Oudit’s employment as the COO has been shrouded in controversy. How Oudit ended up being hired as the authority’s COO—a

position for which he never applied—has also raised red flags, the audit revealed. Oudit was hired as the authority’s COO on October 30, 2013 and assumed duties two days later on November 1. The audit said that Oudit was interviewed to fill the chief executive officer (CEO) vacancy and not that of the COO. Oudit placed second in the interview, scoring 274 points. Attorney Ameena Ali, the authority’s CEO, placed first with 293 points and was offered the job. The audit said although Ali did not meet the minimum requirement of 10 years’ experience in general management she was hired as CEO of the authority based on her 30 years work experience and her sound knowledge of core operations in the health sector. The interview panel which comprised chairman Dr Stephen Bhagan, directors Nazimul Ali, Rampersad Parasram and Ryan Ramcharan along with deputy permanent secretary Asif Ali then opted to offer Oudit the COO’s job. Based on the unauthorised signatory the audit noted that Rampaul’s contract may be deemed not valid.

DEATH SQUADs

Ex-cop claims extrajudicial killings are planned, ordered by senior officers Corey Robinson, Staff Reporter A RETIRED cop and a serving police officer have broken the unwritten vow of silence within the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) to reveal how, they claim, cold-blooded killings are ordered by senior officers. But Deputy Commissioner of Police Glenmore Hinds has rebuffed the claims relayed to The Sunday Gleaner, arguing that police personnel are sworn to uphold the law and that there are appropriate avenues for them to take if they are ordered to operate contrary to their duties. “They (police) know their obligations. They know what the law is, and one would want

to believe that if they get something that is contrary to the law, then they have recourses,” Hinds insisted, as he noted he was hearing the allegations for the first time. “There are a number of independent bodies set up to investigate the police.” Due to the sensitivity of their claims, the sources – one of whom spent four years in the JCF patrolling the streets of Clarendon before joining the Mobile Reserve; and the other now performs his police duties at a government agency after helping to maintain order in downtown Kingston for more than two years – asked that their identities not be revealed. Theirs are dark stories about condemned ‘criminals’, who they claim to know were

killed at the order of senior police officers. These senior lawmen, they told The Sunday Gleaner, assign illegal guns - dubbed ‘sweeties’ in some circles - to the policemen, who place them on the dead men’s bodies in order to corroborate pre-written reports of shootouts with the lawmen.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Glenmore Hinds

were in custody, but no arrests had been made. Mrs Pratt had been released from hospital and was helping detectives investigating the robbery, they said. The UK Foreign Office said it was aware of the death of a British national on the island and was providing consular assistance to the family. The cause of Mr Pratt’s death has not been established, but police said there was no evidence he had been shot. A post-mortem examination is due

to take place on Monday. A police spokesman said: “Nobody has been arrested yet but there are some guys in custody. The investigators are very busy looking at what happened.” ‘Found floating’ He said that officers heard that three armed men had boarded the boat, named the Magnetic Attraction, and attacked the couple before fleeing. “Margaret went in search of her husband and found him floating in the nearby waters.

“Roger was retrieved and transported to St Jude Hospital via ambulance along with his wife. “He was pronounced dead on arrival while Margaret was treated and discharged.” The couple had been on their voyage since June, when they left Lowestoft, Suffolk, and headed for the Algarve before navigating their way to the Caribbean. They had been celebrating Mrs Pratt’s birthday when the attack took place.

Opposition should put country first EDITORIAL

Allegations must remain allegations until proven otherwise THERE is a growing and dangerous tendency in our society to treat allegations as facts and the truth and this is unfortunately being bolstered and fuelled by some of our media houses which imparts much spin but few hard facts. In this way, these media houses manipulate the minds of people to think in accordance with their agenda-political or otherwise. We saw it with the shooting incident during the Linden protest with pronouncements on who was responsible for the deaths of protesters. However, the Commission of Inquiry into the incident dispelled most of what was being peddled by some media houses. And obviously being highly dissatisfied with the findings of the Inquiry, futile attempts were made to discredit the work of the distinguished jurists who comprised the Commission. More recently, an allegation of sodomy against the police by a detainee,Colwyn Harding, while he was in custody at the Timehri Police Station is being treated as the fact and truth, even though there is an ongoing investigation by the Guyana Police Force, which is expected to be completed tomorrow. In addition, doctors at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) are not only livid, but have categorically denied any knowledge of reports appearing in certain sections of the media that a patient, Colwyn Harding, had informed them that he had allegedly been sodomised by a police rank using a baton. The doctors have further denied the following claims: (a) That Harding had been treated in a shoddy manner at the institution; and (b) that the hospital had run out of colostomy bags. In fact, the doctors said Harding had been using colostomy bags from the first day of his hospitalisation. That apart, the doctors deemed it unprofessional to be discussing a patient’s condition without that patient’s prior approval; and discussing such a matter with the media compounds the unprofessionalism of these media entities. Interestingly, none of these media houses has bothered to deal with the issue of why has this allegation surfaced one month after the alleged incident. It is evident that any allegation which has potential ammunition for launching a scathing attack on the government is portrayed as the fact and the truth. This is evident in the Linden incident, as well as several other incidents of the past, and the latest one. We can see clearly from these two incidents alone that certain media houses, and individuals as well, have appointed themselves as “judge, jury and executioner.”

TWENTY FOURTEEN promises to be a particularly interesting year as the size of the anticipated, indiscriminate budget cuts are likely to provoke new elections by year-end. This will indeed be a year of reckoning! One of my favourite all-time quotes is by the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, who said: “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt.” AFC parliamentarian Moses Nagamootoo and the AFC Leader, Khemraj Ramjattan should be cognisant of this. In a letter written by, Nagamootoo (Kaieteur News, December 31) the want-to-be next leader of the AFC predicts: “This post-2011 Parliament will go down in history as the most robust in holding the feet of government to the fire of accountability and transparency.” And in a recent article, APNU Leader David Granger tried to justify his party’s obstructionist position to government’s major development projects by saying: “The action we took actually prevented a governmental disaster.” And without any knowledge of what the 2014 National Budget will be like, Alliance For Change (AFC) Leader Khemraj Ramjattan has already decided that, “Massive cuts will be inflicted on the 2014 National Budget when it is presented to the National Assembly.” Nagamootoo’s assertion can be seen in the context of a desperate man positioning himself to take over the leadership of the Alliance For Change, who would shamelessly misrepresent the facts to make his party and himself look good. In fact, the Opposition that makes up the 10th Parliament to which he refers, will be infamously remembered as the most destructive, unproductive, irresponsible and disrespectful bunch of lawmakers since independence. This must surely be an embarrassing and disappointing experience for the Honourable Speaker Raphael Trotman, who, in my opinion, must be commended for trying his best to be fair and impartial in the execution of his duties, despite being one of their own. Granger’s claim that his party’s actions in Parliament “prevented a governmental disaster” is equally ludicrous. In a Kaieteur News No one would disagree that if the allegation is proven to be true those who are culpable must be dealt with condignly in accordance with the law. However, until then no one should pass judgement or sentencing on anyone. The media in any society have a very important role in disseminating information and educating people and therefore it must at all times display responsibility and professionalism in discharging this role. We have seen how the failure by some media houses to abide by these sacred journalistic principles has resulted in human tragedies such as the Rwanda genocide and elsewhere. American humorist and writer, Finley Peter Dunne, (18671936) must have foreseen what would happen in Guyana when he wrote under the pseudonym Dooley about the power of newspapers: “The newspaper does everything for us. It runs the police force and the banks, commands the ministry, controls the legislature, baptises the young, marries the foolish, comforts the afflicted, afflicts the comfortable, buries the dead and roasts him afterward.” Paranjpy Guha Thakurta in his article in The Asian Age of December last year: “So Much Spin, So few facts” puts it succinctly: “The facts are, obviously, far more nuanced. The media, far from afflicting the comfortable and comforting the afflicted, is more often than not excessively preoccupied[with] maximising its profits by selling “news” in the way soap, toothpaste and potato chips are marketed. However, unlike the norms and rules that operate in markets for most products and services, the intensification of competition among newspapers and television channels does not necessarily or automatically lead to an improvement in standards or quality.” He adds: “The rise of the Internet and the availability of huge volumes of ‘free’ information has acted as a double-whammy on media companies and made them even more desperate to grab eyeballs.” The only difference in Guyana is that certain media houses are not only in pursuit of profits by grabbing eyeballs, they are also involved in political subversion and sabotage through misinformation, distortion of truth and blatant lies under the direction of their political masters and therefore would never subscribe to the principle that allegations must remain allegations until proven otherwise.

article on January 14, the Opposition Leader openly joins with the AFC Leader to signal his intent to butcher the budget again by adding, “During 2013, Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan and I were given a commitment from since early in July to have discussions on the 2014 budget. There had been some exchange between the Shadow Minister of Finance, Mr. Carl Greenidge and the Finance Minister, Dr. Singh, but those were not consultations. Now the budget is far ahead in work. We were not adequately consulted so our contribution to the budget is not as we would have expected... If certain things in the 2014 budget are not in the public’s interest then we will cut where necessary.” Not adequately consulted? Is this a joke Mr Granger? For what other reason was his Shadow Minister of Finance, Carl Greenidge in consultation with Finance Minister Dr. Singh? Does Granger believe they were discussing the garbage crisis in Georgetown? To better explain APNU’s defiant position in Parliament, Kaieteur News columnist, Peeping Tom hit the nail on the head on January 14 when he wrote, “Right now the relationship between APNU and the government is extremely strained and therefore it is inevitable for mistrust to be present whenever APNU makes a proposal to the government... In parliament, APNU combined with the AFC to reconfigure the composition of the various committees. The manner in which this was done led the government to conclude that what was afoot was an attempt to administer the affairs of the country from the opposition benches when the Constitution is quite explicit as to who exercises Executive power... Further mistrust was engendered by the brutal manner in which APNU and the AFC went about cutting the 2012 (and the 2013) Budget. Eventually there were productive negotiations between APNU and the government on this question. The two sides were on the brink of an historic development that would have set the stage for improved relations. But APNU then withdrew, leading to escalation of tensions. The government made available to the opposition parties all the major agreements that it had signed. It went as far also in having special briefings for the opposition parties on the Amaila Falls Hydroelectric Project. Instead of using the opportunity of those briefings and meetings to vent its concerns, APNU instead withdrew its support for the project. The government was outraged and accused APNU of acting in bad faith by not raising its concerns. The same thing happened over the Anti-Money Laundering and the Countering of Terrorism Bill which the government felt should have been supported... However, the opposition parties seem bent on using their one-seat majority to introduce legislation which only adds to the suspicion by the government that the opposition parties are attempting to administer the Executive from the benches of parliament.” The preparation of the national budget is a function of the Executive Branch of government. By cutting the budget, the one-seat opposition in the National Assembly have acted beyond their powers and in breach of the Guyana Constitution. They have usurped the functions of the Executive and have violated the doctrine of separation of powers upon which our Constitution is constructed. Although David Granger’s comments can be seen to be more measured, Ramjattan’s declared intentions to cut the Budget are nothing less than reckless and irresponsible. In his quest to outdo the PNC/APNU on the issues, this man continues to squander the hopes of so many young Guyanese who were led to believe that the AFC would have been more politically mature to responsibly manage the balance of power in the National Assembly. Guyanese want their elected representatives to act responsibly in the national interest at all times. The opposition must not use their one-seat majority in Parliament to carry out personal vendettas or acts of vindictiveness. The three Bills that were recently voted on and passed unanimously: The Firearms (Amendment) Bill; The Evidence (Amendment) Bill; and The Summary Jurisdiction (Procedure)(Amendment) Bill, gained the support of the Joint Opposition only because they were not tabled this time around by the Minister of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee. On merit, these Bills should have been passed into law months ago, but Granger and Ramjattan were too obsessed and focused on getting rid of Rohee. By preventing Rohee from speaking in the National Assembly in an effort to censure him, they foolishly endangered the security of the nation and all Guyanese and failed to achieve their objective. The passing of these bills has hopefully restored some sanity to the most disruptive and unproductive Parliament I’ve ever seen. It is the hope of all Guyanese that common sense prevails this year in Parliament, and our lawmakers put country first before party and ethnicity. HARRY GILL

After all, having been born in the same village, Whim, being his class mate in the same primary school, Auchlyne, and cognisant of the invaluable contributions Moses has made to Guyana in, too often, adverse circumstances, I feel proud that someone I know so closely has achieved that unique distinction of having his name added to the revered ranks of published writers in Guyana.

even more interesting is the unique subject matter of the book – the common practice of healing by non-medical ‘practitioners.’ I know that the book, a work of fiction, was inspired by actual events – events that took place in Whim and surrounding villages on the Corentyne, most likely in the 1950s and 1960s. In fact, the protagonist, Hendree (a variation of his actual name, Henry), was a known bosom buddy of my father’s eldest brother, Victorine Peters, popularly known as Buddy Vick. There are myriad stories of this two-some engaging in practices

not dissimilar to the eventual denouement, in the last chapter of Hendree’s Cure, whereby an individual underwent a ritual performed by Hendree, upon suspicion that someone had cast an evil spell on him. What has left me rather bewildered, however, upon reading Hendree’s Cure is the fact that Nagamootoo described Joe Peters, Buddy Vick’s father (and my grandfather) as a descendant of African slaves. And this, coming from someone to whom there should be no doubt as to the origin of the Peters extended family in Whim, has left me wondering as to the writer’s

Opposition making a mountain out of a mole hill I WISH to briefly refer to the USAID- funded Leadership and Democracy (Lead) Project. What is the hullabaloo about over this project which the parliamentary opposition is seeking to capitalise on? I think they are just making a mountain out of a mole hill to show their supporters that they are still relevant in our Guyanese society. In other words, they are simply engaged in senseless “Political Posturing” as Henry Jeffery had pointed out in his column in the Stabroek News a few weeks ago. But if the Government of Guyana (GoG) says that it was not consulted, hence the rejection of the project, then the

GoG is totally in order. However, the project is still being implemented which is certainly a blatant violation of Guyana’s sovereignty. And the GoG is also correct to say that it will not engage in talks on this project under duress while the “project” is being implemented. My impression of the USAID-funded project is that it is a “top-down approach” and the GoG did not have any inputs into its design as being the major stakeholder at the governmental level. This is why any project will fail because of the lack of stakeholder analysis. By the way, who recommended this project and what is the problem that the project

will effectively address? What research was done and who were consulted? It is apparent that they were “Consultations” since the project was already developed in the form of a project document which was then submitted to the GoG for its approval by the US Ambassador which is totally wrong where project development is concerned. The GoG was therefore correct to reject the USAID-funded Leadership and Democracy (Lead) Project. By the way can the US Ambassador send me a copy of the Logical Framework Analysis (LFA) of the proposed project? PETER PERSAUD

motive when he chose to include that flawed and fictional piece of information. I must make it clear that I harbour no negative views regarding my fellow citizens of African descent. A few of my past letters to editors can attest to this. Moreover, my extended family has welcomed to our fold, as in-laws, persons of African descent, whom I embrace as my Guyanese brothers and sisters. Was the bogus information oversight or simply a mistake, as the author may have us believe? Well, considering that any published writing must have been subject to rigorous proof-reading, initially by the writer, such explanation must be deemed out of the question. Perhaps I can help clear the air on what is obviously a wilful attempt to paint someone as belonging to a race too often viewed askance in that part of Guyana, including Whim, which has always been over 90 percent East Indian. It is not an unknown fact that there has always been some degree of anti-African sentiment among East Indians in Whim and surrounding villages, including Bloomfield, where I grew up. Victorine Peters and his 10 siblings, including my father, were actually descendants of indentured labourers brought over from India to then British Guiana by the British, in the 19th century. He was the only one that stuck to his south Indian roots, refusing to be converted to Roman Catholicism, as did all of his 10 brothers and sisters. Everyone in the village

of Whim was familiar with Buddy Vick, who, following on the practice of his forefathers, inculcated in him by his father, Joe Peters, maintained the rich musical and cultural traditions of the ‘Madrasi’ way of life. He excelled at staging the cultural pageant called ‘Madras Dance’ at various locations in Whim and throughout the Corentyne, Berbice and Demerara coasts. And whenever one of his children got married, on the night before the wedding, the entire village would gather in his yard and ‘bottom house’ to behold the spectacle of the afore-mentioned ‘Madras Dance.’ (I would be surprised if Moses Nagamootoo was not in attendance at any such event.) Buddy Vick may have had just an average education but he had that unique, unmatched (locally, at least) talent to stage a well choreographed musical event. His brothers, including my father, and Hendree were all part of the act. Another side of Victorine Peters, one often subject to ridicule by his detractors, was his practice of ‘treating’ folks who, as was (and still is) common in rural Guyana, felt that people had cast evil spells on them, or simply could not get over an illness despite seeking medical attention. His unconventional prescriptions, not including any type of medications, were enough to raise eyebrows, even with law enforcement authorities, though he was never subjected to legal action. However, what was amazing about Buddy Vick’s ‘practice’ was that quite a

large percentage of his ‘patients’ felt cured upon following his instructions. It’s been said that psychology played a major role in the way he administered advice to his clients, hence so many satisfied customers. Often, his home on a weekend late afternoon would look like a clinic, with many clients patiently waiting their turn, often for hours, to be seen. Perhaps one need not look too far for a likely reason behind Nagamootoo’s fictionalized information regarding Joe Peters. After all, in another part of the book, he uses ‘tar black’, clearly a derogatory term by Guyanese standards, to describe the dark-complexioned Victorine Peters. I find it hard to accept that this could not have been ill-intended. If perhaps he had written “...tar black, like some of my immediate relatives, including brothers,” any suggestion of derogatory intent could have been avoided and this letter would not have been necessary. Despite this obvious hiccup in Hendree’s Cure, though, I would give the book a highly positive review and urge all Guyanese to read it, despite the tiny tidbits of inaccuracies and obvious smearing. Also, my high regard for Moses for his invaluable service to Guyana remains intact. But I would hope that in any future literary endeavour, he would exercise the utmost care and avoid statements provoking the type of indignation that gave rise to this letter. ABEL PETERS

LEAD implementation breaches 20-year-old protocol -- Teixeira

By Vanessa Narine

THE private sector in general has expressed support for the implementation of the $300M USAID-funded Leadership and Democracy project (LEAD), the Private Sector Commission (PSC) being the latest stakeholder to make a public statement on the issue. But Presidential Adviser on Governance, Gail Teixeira, in acknowledging the private sector’s right to express its opinion, said: “We have no problem with the private sector expressing support for the project; but, as a government, we are looking at the project from a different angle. They have a right to their opinion, as we do. “They may not see the problem with the content; they are in their right to express that, but the fundamental issue is that we were not consulted. We were having consultation on the implementation.” BREACH Teixeira stressed that the problem is that the project’s implementation breaches the usual protocol that characterises relations between USAID and the current administration. She said: “The problem with the LEAD project is that it is a breach of the normal bilateral relations, as well as that the content has concerns for the Government, concerns which we expressed. “This is the first time in 20 years that a project has not gone through that process. It has never happened between 1992 and 2012, and we are not agreeing to it because of the rejection of the government’s participation.” Teixeira questioned why the government was not involved in the consultations on the project. According to her, the Guyana government and the American administration have worked together in past decades on US-funded projects. “It has always been a collaborative effort in which we have agreed on a design of a project and the implementation of that proj-

ect,” the presidential advisor said. She referred to examples of the unchallenged implementation of projects that addressed the issue of democracy. Teixeira said: “I was part of other projects that dealt with democracy: the Consolidation of Democracy project, which ran from 2004 to 2006; and the more recent one from 2009 to 2012, which dealt with trafficking in persons and violence against women and such. In all of this, we sat with USAID and the US Embassy to consult on the project over several days, some several weeks, and we came to agreement and the Gail Teixeira projects were signed off.” Accordingly, she maintained that the government’s position has been made clear, and remains unchanged as it relates to the LEAD project. “Were the LEAD project to have gone through the protocol over the last 20 years, we probably would have come to an agreement and fine-tuned the number of concerns we had, which we have had with other projects with USAID,” Teixeira said. She added that what was provided to Government was a “done deal”, and the Government rejected it primarily on that basis. “The main problem is the way in which the project is being implemented,” Teixeira reiterated. TALKS In addition to the private sector, members of the joint Opposition have also come out in support of the LEAD project. The Governments of Guyana and the United States are ex-

Social networking: A parental concern (Final Edition) F By Keith Burrowes

IRST off, I’d Like to wish all our readers a Happy and Prosperous New Year, and to thank you for all your kind comments and support over the years. That said, I’d like to dwell a bit on the pros and cons of social networking, a subject that is slowly gaining currency in light of recent revelations regarding what I’d like to refer to as those kissand-tell men in our society, who think nothing of using ill-gotten photographs and video clips to shame their hapless partners should their relationship happen to go sour. I’m sure I find myself in the same fix that thousands of other parents across Guyana experience these days. It’s the situation where the time spent WITH your children is greatly reduced, primarily because they are constantly plugged into some piece of technology – the computer, texting, talking, Blackberry messaging and so on. I’ve come to believe that there are really few objective cultural values that can be transmitted from one generation to the next. I remember, about 30 years or so ago, my father telling how impossible he found it to understand what I could possibly like about funk music.Today, try as I might, I cannot understand the fascination or even tolerance my children have for rap or dancehall music. Even less, I cannot understand the amount of time they spend online or on their phones, and what they are doing. Technology has always been a multiplier. The plough multiplied the number of acres that could be cultivated within a specific amount of time; the printing press multiplied the number of books that could be produced; the cotton engine multiplied the amount of cloth that could be processed; the electronic calculator multiplied the amount of mathematical functions (subtraction, addition and division) one could perform in a short space of time. Of course, the multiplier effect of technology has always been incidental to its socio-cultural effect – the plough meant an increased food supply and healthier people; the Gutenberg press revolutionised the spread of Christianity; the cotton ‘gin’ caused an upsurge in the slave trade; and the electronic calculator has had an almost inestimable impact on education

and business. The multiplier effect of communication technology has been a basic but powerful one – it has exponentially multiplied the number of people we can connect with in any 24-hour period. Of course, consequently, it has also divided that time among far more people, hence significantly reducing our temporal commitment to each individual connected to. For some relationships, this may be an incremental or negligible increase. The high school friend that your child spent an average of 10 minutes talking to in class; he or she spends an additional of two or three minutes, on average, chatting via Facebook or Blackberry messenger. For other relationships however, particularly those within the home, this means a drastic reduction. I don’t have any polls or studies to consult, but I know from personal experience and friends’ anecdotal evidence that the advent of every bit of advanced communication technology in the home has caused a subsequent drop in the time families spend talking to each other. The problem is: how do we counter this? I know there have been some parents who have taken it to the complete opposite end of the scale, particularly relatives and friends who live in societies more wired than Guyana. I don’t have a social network account, but I’ve heard stories of parents and children getting into public online conflicts, or parents involving themselves in their children’s conflicts with their peers on Facebook. I’ve spent some time thinking about this and for now, I believe that there are some basic things parents can do in relation to their children and this culture of virtual living; all of them premised on one non-negotiable condition – be a good parent. First of all, being a good parent means making time for your children. As a workaholic I can confess that I can be accused of not spending as much time with my children as I probably could have. What I have done is to try to ensure that the time I spend with them - particularly now that they are both legally (or close to) no longer classified strictly as children - is quality time, especially on vacation. This is actual time spent unplugged, with actual human, face-to-face interaction. Secondly, we need to realise that life goes forward, not

pected to meet on the controversial project, according to Head of the Presidential Secretariat Dr. Roger Luncheon. He, however, maintains that talks will commence once the project’s implementation is suspended so as to allow for genuine consultation. Luncheon also stressed that there would be no consultation under duress. The move by USAID to implement various aspects of the project has been described as an affront to Guyana’s sovereignty, expressly following comments by US Ambassador Brent Hardt, who indicated that the project would go ahead despite Government’s expressed rejection. Since Hardt’s comments were made public, expansive column inches of commentaries have addressed the issue of sovereignty. Several references have also been made to the United States’ use of its allied non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to its democracy initiatives, particularly the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs and the International Republican Institute (IRI). The IRI is the body through which funding is being allocated to the LEAD project. The organisation is shadowed by negative reports, one of the more damning of which was published in the New York Times in 2006. That report noted that USAID had channelled through NGOs, such as the IRI, US$25 million to Venezuelan groups critical of the late President Hugo Chavez, a vocal critic of the US. It added that USAID made “grants that had what appeared to be an objective of building support for potential rivals to Mr. Chávez.” The US government had previously been fingered in a botched 2002 coup against that revered leader. To date, there has been no public statement by the United States Embassy in relation to the project, and/or government’s firm position on its implementation. Cabinet’s disapproval of the project had been formally communicated to the relevant authorities on October 26, 2013.

backward, particularly at this stage of technological evolution. We can’t expect our children to be competitive in the present environment and not be ‘plugged in’, or to spend all their time reading up on their homework. Facebook, regular cellphones, Blackberries are all integral tools in the information age, an age built on networking as widely and as efficiently as possible. What we can do as parents is to become ‘plugged in’ ourselves, partially to explore the geography of this brave new world, partially to see how our children are behaving in it. It may be difficult to transfer the social structures and hierarchies of the real word into the virtual world – especially considering that the internet is increasingly the province of youth – but, I believe, it is our responsibility as parents to find a way. I’d like to end here by saying that parents throughout history have faced challenges, from sabre-toothed tigers to the Bubonic Plague; ours is modern communication technology. In the ensuing weeks, I will be addressing the issue of what constitutes the proper management of the Mayor & City Council, based on a detailed report done a few years ago, for the sole purpose of educating the public so that they can be conversant with the matter.

Old Kai: Chronicles of Guyana

Opposition confusing itself

HE Opposition in its effort to confuse the nation regarding its position on the national budget has ended up confusing itself. Old Kai is not surprised at the latest salvo by the opposition against the government regarding the preparation of the 2014 national budget. It is yet another example why I have contended all along that our opposition is incapable of managing our nation. To support this contention are the first two sentences which appeared in a Kaieteur News article on the issue: * The opposition coalition A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) says that it remains hopeful that consultations with government over the 2014 budget would be reached. * However hope is rapidly draining away taking into consideration that it will be presented in March and budget arrangements and submissions by the respective ministries would have been done already while no substantial talks between the opposition and government have commenced. So on one hand, you have the first sentence indicating that there has been ‘no consultation or talks’ between the opposition and government and the second sentence, indicating that there ‘have been talks or consultations’. Then we are told that Leader of APNU David Granger expressed that ‘real face to face consultation has not taken place’. But he later clarifies that ‘there has been some engagement but the concerns of APNU have not been taken on board by the Minister of Finance Dr. Ashni Singh’. A short moment later, Mr. Granger added that the government is playing a very “dangerous game” in denying them the opportunity to contribute meaningfully through the consultative process and feels that the budget which is in its advanced stages of preparation has not incorporated the main concerns of APNU. Spot the difference in the last two sentences?

* ‘the concerns of APNU have not been taken on board’ * ‘has not incorporated the main concerns of APNU’ These are two vastly different statements being made by the Opposition leader at a single APNU press conference. The opposition soap opera gets even more interesting as Granger admits that ‘he recognises the responsibility of the executive (Government) for the final preparation of the budget’ but he also indicates that he is demanding that a ‘tripartite Budget Commission (which will include APNU and AFC) be established’ which will control the preparation of the budget. Notice here the sudden shift by the opposition from ‘consultation’ to ‘controlling’ how the budget is crafted. And, what would be the fate of our country and people, if the PPP/C Government does not surrender to all the demands of the joint opposition? Granger tells the nation that “…we don’t go to the National Assembly to cut, we go to the National Assembly to force the government to implement reforms and that is what is going to happen unless the government calls us in, consults with us and takes our concerns on board.” So in essence, this ‘consultation thing’ is just a pappy show for them, as their ultimate objective is to ‘force Government to give in to all their demands’. I hope the people producing the Oxford dictionary are taking note of this new meaning to the word consultation provided by Guyana’s political opposition. What we have established thus far from what the opposition has told us is that the Government has consulted with them, some not all of their recommendations were taken on board (no doubt the ones that were feasible) but they will force Government to implement all of their demands and if not, they will cut the 2014 budget. However, their excuse for slashing the budget will be that there was no “transparency or the money is not being used for a proper

purpose”. We are also told that they recognise that Government is the sole authority in preparing the budget but they want control of that process now. And in all of this, Mr. Granger still has the temerity to say that the government is playing a very “dangerous game”. Old Kai is not done as yet. It was pleasing to hear the opposition through Mr. Granger admit that “The budget is a very complicated document with three huge volumes like an encyclopaedia and it calls for a lot of data, people cannot simply produce a shopping list and expect that shopping list to be accepted.” Is this the same Granger? I seem to recall a minute ago, he had threatened to slash the budget if their effort to force Government to implement all their demands in the budget was not met! If the opposition cannot make up their minds about what exactly is their position at a simple press conference, I can just imagine their utter confusion in their engagement with government on the budget. How can they expect anyone to take them seriously when every minute they keep changing their stance on a particular issue? Then to top it off, we are greeted with the revelation from Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh, that the opposition has not been responding to Government’s invitation to provide further inputs in the budget. Dr. Singh tells us that his ‘most recent email dated January 13, 2014 indicated Government’s invitation to meet on Budget 2014 and requested Mr. Greenidge to suggest a date during the past or coming week. The email was also copied to Messrs. David Granger, Lance Carberry, Khemraj Ramjattan, Dr. Roger Luncheon, and Ms. Gail Teixeira. The email also contained copies of documents to be discussed. To date my invitation has been met with stony silence by the Messrs. Granger and Greenidge.’ I rest my case!

Saturday morning plane crash…

Aircraft spotted 2.6 miles from takeoff point

By Leroy Smith

THE Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) has been able to locate the exact area where a Trans Guyana Airways 700 Cessna Caravan 8r-GHS went down along with its pilot Blake Slater and cargo loader Dwayne Jacobs, Saturday morning. Up to late yesterday afternoon GDF Special Forces were moved into the general area and were cutting their way through to reach the location where the wreck is lying after being spotted from the air by the GDF 2 Chopper. However, despite sighting the craft it was difficult to get into the location so the Special Forces were transported to a proper point of discharge from where they began making their way on foot to the area. Director General of the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority Zulfikar Mohamed told the media yesterday that the site where the craft was spotted has been assessed and the Special Forces then began moving in. At the time, yesterday, he admitted that despite the sighting of the aircraft neither the Special Forces nor the rescue coordinators were able to say, what was the status of the pilot and cargo loader. He however made it clear, that there were two main priorities with respect to getting to the crash site. Once the plane is reached by the Special Forces the first order of the day will be to remove the personnel (dead or alive) with the second order of the day being to secure the site. Once that is done the first set of persons expected to get access to the crash site will be investigators from the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority, Mohamed said. He said that this is necessary because based on all information received prior to the going down of the plane or while it was going down and the actual evidence at the location will be very vital to the investigation and in determining what might have caused the crash. Meanwhile, Air Traffic Control Manager, Rickford Samaroo told the media that based on the initial information received on Saturday both on the ground and from persons who might have seen and heard something before the plane went down and the last transmission sent by the pilot, the plane was able to be sighted. He said that the information was all reviewed on Saturday night when the search team returned to the command centre and the unnecessary information was discarded and all others taken into account. Those information which were received on Saturday in the end revealed that the location where the plane was spotted, yesterday, was approximately 2.6 miles from the heading of Olive Creek where the craft

The approximate fly time before the crash site was found and confirmed is said to have been 11 hours and included two Cessna aircraft and two choppers - one from the GDF and the other from Air Services Limited. The media was informed that the team which was initially on the ground from Saturday had among its personnel, one medical personnel from the Guyana Defence Force while the command centre reported that as there is daylight today, medical personnel, this

time from the Georgetown Public Hospital and a police officer and investigators from the GCAA, will travel to the location. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been informed of the development and is in contact with the Canadian authorities with respect to the pilot while the next of kin to the cargo loader has also been informed. The area where the craft was located yesterday was not very far from where the search and rescue team were initially searching on Saturday for the aircraft.

Three Region 6 secondary schools boosted with improved learning facilities By Michael Khan THE delivery of education in Region 6 (East Berbice/ Corentyne) received a boost on Friday when three secondary schools benefited from a $30.7M project to improve and expand their learning facilities. The money was spent on adding new wings to Tagore Memorial Secondary on the Upper Corentyne, Tutorial Academy Secondary School (TASS) and Berbice High School (BHS) in New Amsterdam. Each project was commissioned by Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Mr. Ganga Persaud. The largest project is a two-flat building that was constructed in the compound of BHS and it will accommodate six classrooms. According to head teacher of the school, Jenifer Rollins, the $12.3M project will be put into use right away by housing Grade Seven students.

Court order puts Harding on self-bail -probe launched into how he got cellphone as a prisoner in hospital

THE court on Friday served an order on the acting Director of Prisons detailing its decision to release Colwyn Harding on self-bail. Harding has accused the police of a brutal sexual

Harding has been in the custody of the prisons since November and more recently under guard by a prison rank as he is currently in the Georgetown Public Hospital undergoing treatment for injuries he allegedly sustained while in police custody.

AT the 48th Special Meeting of the CARICOM Council for Trade and Economic Development on ICT, held in Grenada on Friday, Secretary-General of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), Ambassador Irwin La Rocque, urged stakeholders to seize the opportunities Information and Communication Technology (ICT) holds for regional integration. Before his audience, which comprised representatives of Governments, the Caribbean Telecommunications Union, the Caribbean Knowledge and Learning Network Agency, regional and international institutions, and CARICOM Youth Ambassadors, La Rocque emphasised the importance of the meeting to the strategic direction of ICT in the Community. He said the recommendations from the one-day meeting would be valuable in setting the parameters for the upcoming Inter-sessional CARICOM Summit in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, as ICT has received priority for the growth and development of the Region.

confirmed that he had received a complaint of this nature and he subsequently asked for a report to be sent to him by the health professionals who were supervising the patient at the time. After reading that report he will be in a better position to comment on the issue. The Guyana Chronicle was able to confirm that the Guyana Prison Service has launched an investigation into determining how the prisoner was able to

obtain a cellular phone, which is one of the items prohibited to prisoners. A source close to the investigation told the Guyana Chronicle that the prison would “love to know who gave him that cellphone so that we can have them charged.” The source who asked not to be named stated that it is against the law for the prisoner to have a cellphone and at the time that he was in possession of the cellphone he was still a prisoner and under the supervision of the Georgetown Prisons. The source said that based on Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) the cellphone will not be returned to the prisoner, even though he is on self-bail as directed by the court. The cellphone will now be an exhibit to be used in the probe and possible prosecution of whoever was responsible for supplying the prohibited item to the prisoner. Meanwhile, the Guyana Police Force is continuing its investigation into reports regarding the sexual abuse of Harding and Commissioner of Police Leroy Brumell said at a press conference on Thursday that the investigation should be completed by tomorrow.

Minister also called on the students to focus on opportunities that exist in the classroom. Meanwhile, an $8.2M project was also commissioned at Tagore. The new building will house three classrooms to cater for the growing school population there. Meanwhile, a similar extension, a $10.2M wing that will house three classrooms was commissioned at Tutorial Academy on Friday also. Speaking at the commissioning, President of the Parent- Teacher Association (PTA), Odetta Felix expressed concern that the PTA was not involved from the inception in order to advise on the best location for the building. However, Vice-chairman of Region 6, Bhupaul Jhagroo noted that once a project is commissioned, it is one step forward in the development of the country. Persaud explained that there is a procedure that is followed before such projects become a reality and noted that the journey begins with the first step. “I think the journey at this school has started,” he noted. Also in attendance at the three commissioning ceremonies, was Regional Education Officer of Region 6, Ms. Volika Jaikishun.

The Secretary-General said, “We must therefore not fail to include it as an important part of our regional economy, since it is an enabler of growth through increasing our efficiency and productivity. It has to be a significant factor as we forge a path towards a CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME). ICT must be viewed as the new frontier for regional integration.” That renewed focus on ICT was critical in maximising the “much-reported” benefits of ICT, as its development and adoption had been impeded, according to La Rocque. Against this reality, he said, the Community has been forging ahead with a Regional Digital Development Strategy and an accompanying Action Plan for its implementation. Elements include the development of a CARICOM Single ICT Space; capacity-building; regional policy direction, leadership and governance; and innovation and efficiency. All of those features, he said, spawned a CARICOM Information and Knowledge Society. Ambassador La Rocque said that beyond the new frontier of ICT was a single space that would redound to “real benefits for consumers and businesses” in the Community. The objective, he noted, was to fully establish modern regional regulatory and open telecommunications infrastructures with affordable networks, using converged technologies to provide affordable and universal access. This, he said, would positively affect such issues as roaming rates, provide for a single area code, as well as address copyright, spectrum and broadband matters. With this in mind, he said, the human resource capacity of the sector needed to be ramped up, as it was fundamental in building a digital culture across the Community and increasing the value and volume of the Region’s trained ICT workforce that could create, develop and use ICT to improve economic value. “Promoting such initiatives would also foster innovation and increase our competitiveness, both of which are essential in achieving our goal of sustainable economic growth and development,” the Secretary-General said. A noteworthy success he pointed to was reposed in the Caribbean Research and Education Network (CaribNET), which was launched last February and is managed by the Caribbean Knowledge and Learning Network Agency (CKLNA).

Frustrated lawyer accuses authorities of protecting ASL boss

By Telesha Ramnarine

ATTORNEY-AT-LAW Gino Persaud charged Friday that the authorities, including the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) have been “protecting” ASL (Air Services Limited) boss Ahamad Mazahar Ally from the inception of his being charged with five offences. Ally, of Lot 64 New Haven, Bel Air, Georgetown, had pleaded not guilty to the five charges, namely:using insulting language, assault (two counts), threatening behaviour, and calling a person a name other than his own.

--magistrate begs to differ

He initially appeared in court on January 31, 2013 and was sent away on his own recognizance. The virtual complainant in the matter is Ogle International Airport’s Security Chief, Harold Hopkinson. Attorney, Mr. Neil Boston, appearing for Ally on Friday, continued cross-examining Hopkinson before Sparendaam Magistrate Alex Moore. A recording of what transpired on the day in question was played in court by means of Hopkinson’s laptop. The contents, filled with indecent language, were tran-

scribed by the magistrate and repeated several times over by the magistrate and lawyers. Meanwhile, Persaud told the court that the authorities, including the DPP, were written to on the matter, but he never received a response from anyone. The magistrate advised Persaud that his court has the power to summon anyone, including the DPP and the police commissioner, should that become necessary. This case has been adjourned to May 6.

TCL Learning Academy presenters hold four-day seminar on cement use By Shirley Thomas THE three component companies of the TCL Group, Trinidad Cement Ltd., TCL Guyana Inc., and Readymix (West Indies) Ltd, are collaboratively embarking on an initiative aimed at taking a series of seminars to industry professionals and students enrolled in tertiary and vocational institutions.

and Andira Kowlessar, Group Manufacturing and Development Officer (TCL) are currently in Guyana to conduct seminars for various institutions over a four-day period beginning last Friday. Proceedings would culminate with a live ‘Call In’ Programme on NCN Television today. The presenters said the purpose of the seminars is to educate on the processes involved in the manufacture of cement; the best practices and uses of cement, as well as the importance of cement as a primary building material. The institutions targeted are: University of Guyana (Engineering students); Guyana Association of Professional Engineers; Ministry of Public Works’ engineers and contractors; Guyana Industrial Training Centre (GITC); Government Technical Institute (GTI); Essequibo Technical Institute (ETI); New Amsterdam Technical Institute (NATI); the Upper Corentyne Technical Institute (UCTI); Habitat for Humanity (HfH); Ready Mix (Alescon); CR International; Dipcon; B.K. International; TPL Quarries, and Puran Brothers Ltd. The team arrived in Guyana yesterday, and met with members of the local media to discuss the initiative, and to give insights into best practices and recommended uses of cement

for maximum efficiency and for guaranteed long-term effects. TCL is the leading producer and marketer of cement and ready-mix products in the Caribbean. Now in its 60th year,

the company is firmly committed to its goal of “Building Caribbean Excellence” for all customers, employees, shareholders, and the wider Caribbean communities.

The TCL Group consists of eight (8) operating companies spread over Anguilla, Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago. TCL (Guyana) Inc (TGI) is the first

bagging terminal of its kind, locally. It was incorporated in Guyana on March 17, 2000. Its primary activity is packaging of bulk cement for sale on the Guyana market.

GUYANA CHRONICLE Monday January 20, 2014

Aries March 21 - April 19

Today might not go down in history as the most exciting twenty four hours of your life, but your routine will be thrown on its ear for at least part of the day. This will create quite a bit of frenzy. The good news is that right now you’re in the perfect frame of mind to deal with whatever hiccups pop up -- you won’t get rattled and you won’t get distracted by feelings of resentment or frustration. You have an amazing ability to stay focused right now, which will help you stay sane!

Taurus April 20 - May 20

Surprise someone with a sweet show of affection and compliments today! Even if you barely know them, you can really brighten their day by letting them know you like their haircut or that they’ve got a great laugh. As for the people you know and love, well, the sky’s the limit! Give out hugs left and right to the people who support you when you’re feeling low. Peck your sweetie on the cheek as soon as you see them! Your love means little unless you spread it out into the world!

Gemini May 21 - June 21

This is the perfect day to catch up on your correspondence -- why not do something crazy like write someone a letter? There is one long distant friend in particular who would get immense pleasure out of opening their mailbox and seeing your name on the upper left corner of the envelope! Find a quiet spot later in the day and just jot down a few updates on what’s been going on and what you want to do. It’s never too late to gain a new pen pal, and the retro simplicity will feed your soul.

Cancer June 22 - July 22

Today is a very good day for tackling any major clean up projects you’ve been putting off -- including picking up clutter around the house, organising your office cubicle, or clearing up a misunderstanding between you and a friend. You can see the path to clarity and will have no problem navigating your way along it. All it takes is an early start to create an early finish -- and then you will have the rest of the day to relax and have some good times with some good people.

Leo July 23 - August 22

When it comes to building up your finances, you can’t rely strictly on advice from friends! If you want to get serious about money issues, then you have to get serious about researching them. Start poking around online and find a few sites that address your goals and your challenges. Then, stop by a bookstore and find a book that will help you focus on getting a better grip on your expenses. Reviewing your budget might sound fun at first, but it will be very empowering.

Virgo August 23 - September 22

Someone might challenge one of your beliefs or opinions today, and some of the things they say will make sense! Your first instinct will be to defend your position firmly, but give yourself a couple minutes before doing that. Take a minute to be open and listen to what they are saying. Some of it will resonate with you in a profound way. Believe it or not, you could be wrong -- it does happen every once in a while. Changing your position to accept more grey areas is wise.

Libra September 23 - October 22

You’re in a very open-minded phase of life, and could be changing your opinions about a lot of diverse issues -- this is a sign of healthy growth, but it might confuse your friends and family. You should address their concerns head on and have a few conversations about what has changed -- doing nothing at all to address your new perspective will only create skepticism and cause many people to assume that you are trying to put on an act. Don’t let that happen.

Scorpio October 23 - November 21

One of your closest friend’s emotions are right on the surface today -- so be very sensitive around them. It’s anyone’s guess which name or word will set them off, so it’s best to stick to small talk and safe topics unless you want to get into a heated discussion. And that favour you needed from them? It’s a good idea to put off asking them for a few more days. Everyone needs to be treated a little gingerly today, and today it’s their turn. You aren’t going to mind anyway.

Sagittarius November 22 - December 21

Planning your next romantic move can be a blast, but try not to get too caught up in the details of everything -- you will drive yourself crazy trying to get everything to line up perfectly. This person is up for anything, and doesn’t want you to be stressed. The first step toward intimacy can only be made when both people let down their guards and are prepared to show themselves for who they are -- warts and all. Just create a loose plan and the two of you can wing it.

Capricorn December 22 - January 19

As soon as you can find the facts you are seeking, your recent project will kick into high gear! So if that deadline is making you nervous, turn your curiosity up and get to work filling in the missing information, today. There is at least one person who has the time and the energy to help you on this quest, so don’t be shy about asking for their assistance. Make this a team effort, and you will get so much more out of it. Crossing the finish line with someone right beside you will feel good.

Aquarius January 20 - February 18

There is joy beneath the surface of everything right now, and you are in the exact right frame of mind to see it! Look again at that stranger walking by you -- don’t you see a smile? Whether they’re flirting with you or not isn’t even relevant. They are happy -- and that will make you happy. You are clearly in a strong period of ease right now, where you can put in half the effort to get the full reward. Things are coming to you more quickly and people are working around your schedule.

Pisces February 19 - March 20

If you are just about finished with a major project or getting awfully close to reaching an important goal, today is the day you need to put in one final push to finally get it all done! You have plenty of energy, and you have plenty time -- as a matter of fact, the only thing that you are running out of are excuses! Let your inner go-getter help you go forward a little bit farther than you normally would, and you will get some serious recognition for a job well done.

No knowledge of draft proposals, says Associate ... From Back Page

Lyn Ann Medford

all members of the F&CA were aware of the “working group position paper” proposals. The emai, though, prompted an angry response from one Associate official, who said the details of the proposals and Speight’s public statement revealed that A&A interests had not been properly guarded. In its first formal statement, the ICC pointed out that the recommendations were put together by a “working group” of the F&CA committee, and would be discussed when the ICC Board meets in Dubai from January 27 to 29. They have emphasised in the past that the document given to the Boards of Full Member nations during the January 9 special meeting was not an ICC F&CA committee document and its details were still up for discussion. Speight’s comments puts the focus on the F&CA “working group”. This working group, it has been ascertained, was concentrated around the three boards who stand to gain the most out of the position paper draft. It comprised Giles Clarke of the ECB, Wally Edwards of Cricket Australia and N Srinivasan of BCCI, assisted by a clutch of commercial executives: Dean Kino (general manager of legal and business affairs, Cricket Australia), John Perera (commercial director ECB) and Sundar Raman (chief operating officer, IPL). Kino and Raman also form a two-man technical committee in the Champions League T20, one of the world’s wealthiest cricket tournaments. Cricket Australia’s only comment to ESPNcricinfo was, “As usual, there are a range of important matters up for discussion at the ICC Executive Board meeting. The outcome of that meeting and any decisions made will be communicated by the ICC. Until that time, we won’t be making any comment.” On Sunday, Clarke’s response to the Observer newspaper about the issue was: “There’s not much I can say about a draft. We get through a lot of those.” The BCCI has made no comment. (ESPN Cricinfo)

Inspired Ivanovic stuns Serena, Djokovic cruise .. Berdych, Ferrer set up meeting

By Nick Mulvenney

Man-of-the-Match Corey Anderson blasted a 40ball 68 with three fours and four sixes.

Kohli hundred in vain as Kiwis take 1-0 ODI series lead Outstanding New Zealand fielding paved the way for a never-say-die 24-run win over India in the opening one-day international at McLean Park in Napier yesterday. A classy Virat Kohli century looked to have anchored India to the win as they chased New Zealand’s 292-7. But the world No.1 ODI side crumbled from 224-4 to be all out for 268 in 48.2 overs to give New Zealand a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. Mitchell McClenaghan led the way, returning figures of 4-68 including the crucial wicket of Kohli for 123 early in the 45th over. Kohli had dominated in racking up his 18th ODI century off 93 balls as he and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni constructed a 95-run partnership for the fifth wicket. The pair came together with the score on 129-4, and looked unshakeable until McClenaghan struck halfway through the 43rd over. A short-pitched ball hurried onto Dhoni, who gloved it onto his helmet for wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi to take a superb diving catch. New batsman Ravindra Jadeja lasted just three balls before edging another McClenaghan delivery to Ronchi, and McClenaghan struck again two balls into the 45th over when Kohli blasted a full toss straight to Ryder. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was run out on the first ball of the next over, then tailenders Ravichandran Ashwin and Ishant Sharma were dismissed in short order as the Kiwis wrapped up the win. Earlier, big hitting Corey Anderson took charge in the closing stages of the New Zealand innings to belt an unbeaten 68 off 40 balls, including three boundaries and four booming sixes. The 23-year-old allrounder, who also picked up 2-51 off his

10 overs, had been relatively subdued since smashing a world record 36-ball century in the second ODI against the West Indies in Queenstown on New Year’s Day. But he rediscovered his mojo on Sunday, putting on 66 in 37 balls for the sixth wicket with Ronchi, who continued his recent good form with a quickfire 30 off 18 balls. Mohammed Shami was the best of the Indian bowlers with overall figures of 4-55 off nine overs, picking up the early wickets of Jesse Ryder (18) and Martin Guptill (8) to leave the Kiwis struggling at 32-2 in the eighth over. Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor rebuilt the innings with poise and patience in adding 121 runs for the third wicket. Williamson kept the score ticking over with an 88-ball 71 and Taylor provided the perfect foil in working the ball around and stroking just one boundary in his 82-ball 55. Brendon McCullum contributed a breezy 30 from 25 balls before edging another superbly taken catch to Dhoni, leaving Anderson to play the mainstay in guiding the Kiwis to a competitive total. The second ODI in the five-match series is in Hamilton on Wednesday. (CA)

MELBOURNE, (Reuters) - An inspired Ana Ivanovic blew the race for the Australian Open women’s title wide open when she stunned overwhelming favourite Serena Williams in the fourth round at Melbourne Park yesterday. Novak Djokovic was for once forced to cede the spotlight to another Serbian but showed no signs of relinquishing his iron grip on the men’s title and was merciless in his 6-3 6-0 6-2 flogging of Fabio Fognini. Third seed David Ferrer also advanced to the last eight and a meeting with Tomas Berdych and his stripy football shirt, while women’s fourth seed Li Na and Flavia Pennetta set up a last eight clash of 31-yearolds. Li and Pennetta had every reason to expect their path to the final to be blocked by world number one and top seed Williams until Ivanovic secured the biggest shock of the tournament with a 4-6 6-3 6-3 victory on Rod Laver Arena. The Serbian’s win instead sent her through to a quarter-final clash against Canadian teenager Eugenie Bouchard,

who ended Australia’s hopes of a home champion when she overcame Casey Dellacqua 6-7 (5-7) 6-2 6-0. “I actually believed,” said Ivanovic, whose mental toughness has been frequently questioned because of her failure to back up her 2008 French Open title. “Going on to the court today, I really just tried to give my best. “I tried to make it a good match. I was very competitive till the last moment and I’m just very thrilled.” Williams was riding high on a winning streak of 25 matches going back to the start of last year’s U.S. Open and had not lost a single set to Ivanovic in four previous meetings. When the 32-year-old took the first set despite looking a little lethargic, she seemed to be on her way to a record 62nd victory at the Australian Open, where she is 51-1 after going 1-0 up in match. DICTATING PLAY In the second set, though, Ivanovic really started to take the game to Williams, attacking the 17-times grand slam champion’s serve with a success

very few have managed and dictating the back court with her forehand. Her tally of 20 forehand winners to two for Williams told its own tale but, most importantly, once in front in the deciding set, Ivanovic kept her head before serving out to love for the match. “I really did certain things extremely well and I kept her under pressure I felt throughout the whole match,” the 26-yearold said. “I didn’t think much about the occasion and who I was

out of the bag about a back problem she had suffered. “So he’s the one that’s snitching?” she said to laughter. “I don’t want to blame anything. I feel like Ana deserves all the credit. I feel she played unbelievable today. I think she went for her shots. “It’s not like I gave her the match. I tried to fight the best I could today.” Djokovic gave his friend of 10 years Fognini absolutely nothing in their 93-minute encounter on Rod Laver Arena and still had plenty of energy left at the end to launch into an impersonation of new coach Boris Becker. There were no jokes, however, when he was asked to assess his form after registering his 28th victory in a row and reaching the last eight for a 19th straight grand slam.

SERENA WILLIAMS

DJOKOVIC FOCUSED “I felt from the start of this tournament that I’ve been elevating my game as the tournament is going on. Every match is better,” the second seed, who is seeking a fourth straight title, said. “The general feeling on the court, all the shots, using the court position really well, being aggressive, playing my style of the game. “Mentally I was there. I was tough. I was focused. I feel great about myself in this moment. Trying to keep it up.” Djokovic next faces eighth seed Stan Wawrinka, who hit 57 winners in a highly impressive display of aggressive tennis to overcome Spain’s Tommy Robredo 6-3 7-6 (3) 7-6 (5) in the final match on Rod Laver Arena. Berdych reached the last eight for the fourth year in a row at the only grand slam where he has never made the semi-finals without having given up a service game let alone a set. The seventh seed’s 6-2 6-2 6-3 win over Kevin Anderson was his 10th in 10 matches against the South African and left him with “plenty of gas in the tank” for his next match against David Ferrer, who beat Florian Mayer 6-7 (7-5) 7-5 6-2 6-1. Former French Open champion Li, who reached the final here last year and in 2011, allowed Ekaterina Makarova not so much as a sniff of an upset as she set up meeting with Pennetta by demolishing the Russian 6-2 6-0.

Australia thrash England to add ODI series to Ashes win SYDNEY- (Reuters) - David Warner and Shaun Marsh smashed fifties to complement their bowlers’ efforts as Australia crushed England by seven wickets in the third oneday international in Sydney yesterday to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series. Wa r n e r b l a s t e d s e v e n boundaries and two sixes in his 71 off just 70 balls at the top of the order while fellow left-hander Marsh remained unbeaten on 71 to anchor the chase as Australia maintained an utter dominance of their arch-rivals. The hosts comfortably chased down their 244-run target with 10 overs to spare as England continued the search for a first win of their wretched tour Down Under, during which they also lost the

Brad Haddin (37 not out) was promoted after Clarke (34) chopped Ravi Bopara onto his stumps and the Australia wicketkeeper continued his good form, racing to the target with Marsh with an unbroken stand of 72 in just 68 balls. Earlier, England wasted a brisk start from openers Alastair Cook (35) and Ian Bell (29) to end on a below-par 243 for nine wickets in their 50 overs.

Cook won the toss and opted to bat but they failed to convert them to big scores in the face of some tight bowling and outstanding fielding from Australia. Cook’s quickfire innings was cut short when Glenn Maxwell took a sharp catch at cover, while Warner found a direct hit from the outfield to run Bell out. Clarke also took a low catch at square leg to remove Stokes (15) before Daniel Christian dived full length to take a return catch off the leading edge of key batsman Eoin Morgan. Morgan (54) was once again the top-scorer for England and his dismissal after hitting four boundaries and two massive sixes robbed the visitors of any momentum in the closing stages. It was left to a slogging Tim Bresnan to take England to a fighting total with a 29ball 41 which included two sixes off Christian in the last over. Nathan Coulter-Nile was the most successful bowler for Australia, picking up three wickets for 47 runs, while James Faulkner and Christian picked up two wickets apiece. Paceman James Pattinson, playing his first match for Australia since last July’s Test match at Lord’s, struggled for rhythm in his return from injury and leaked 41 runs during his six overs.

Pakistan strike early but Sri Lanka extend lead to 220 (REUTERS) - Sri Lanka lost early wickets in their second innings but extended their lead to 220 runs over Pakistan in the third and final Test in Sharjah to boost their chances of a series victory. Spinner Abdur Rehman and paceman Mohammad Talha picked up two wickets apiece to reduce Sri Lanka to 89 for four but experienced Mahela Jayawardene (46) and captain Angelo Mathews (14 not out) thwarted Pakistan with a stand of 38 runs. At stumps on the penultimate day of the series, Sri Lanka reached 133 runs for five wickets to add to their first-innings lead of 87. Jayawardene, who made 129 in his team’s nine-wicket win in Dubai in the second test, became the first Sri Lankan to cross 11,000 test runs and eighth batsman overall during his innings. His careful knock came to an end when his bat-pad catch

off Saeed Ajmal was smartly taken by Azhar Ali at short leg. Left-arm spinner Rehman extracted good turn from the pitch and picked up the wickets of opener Kaushal Silva (36) and Kumar Sangakkara (eight) while Talha dismissed Dimuth Karunaratne (eight) and Dinesh Chandimal (13). Khurram Manzoor did not help Pakistan’s cause by dropping an easy chance from Mathews at cover off fast bowler Junaid Khan with the batsman on nine. Wi c k e t k e e p e r S a r f r a z Ahmed also dropped a sharp chance from Prasanna Jayawardene (six not out) off Ajmal before the batsman had opened his account. Earlier in the morning, Rangana Herath picked up his 17th five-wicket haul in tests for Sri Lanka as Pakistan were bowled out for 341.

Eto’o hat-trick all but ends United title hopes By Josh Reich LONDON- (Reuters) - A Samuel Eto’o hat-trick lifted Chelsea to a 3-1 win over Manchester United yesterday which all but ended the champions’ slim hopes of defending their Premier League title. Tottenham Hotspur secured a fifth successive away league victory and moved up to fifth place after Emmanuel Adebayor scored twice in a 3-1 win at Swansea City. Two first-half goals and one soon after the restart by Eto’o took Chelsea up to third place with 49 points, two behind leaders Arsenal, and United remained in seventh place, 14 off the summit. United defender Nemanja Vidic was sent off in stoppage time to complete a miserable day for David Moyes’s team. “I think it is a big win and deserved, yes,” Chelsea man-

ager Jose Mourinho told Sky Sport. “The way I was analysing the game it was hard for them to be losing 2-0 at halftime. They started better than us, they had a good initiative. “The second half was different. For 25-30 minutes we had very good control until we dropped back and they reacted with pride. “I think this game was a bit of a contradiction to other games. Normally we produce and produce and then it is hard for us to score, this time with the first shot we scored. The second goal was the killer in the box I know from many years ago and it looks like Samuel Eto’o is coming back.” United, and young attacker Adnan Januzaj in particular, started brightly but were undone by two poor pieces of defending that allowed Cameroonian Eto’o to score his first goals against

Samuel Eto’o United since the 2009 Champions League final when he was playing for Barcelona. DEFLECTED SHOT After United’s Ashley Young had stung the palms of Petr Cech, Eto’o opened the scoring after 17 minutes when allowed to shoot by Phil Jones, his deflected shot ballooning off the boot of Michael Carrick into the net. Eden Hazard and Willian showed glimpses of attacking threat but it was United who should have scored next after Januzaj picked out Danny

Welbeck in the box, but the England international failed to get a clean shot away under pressure from Cesar Azpilicueta. Oscar tried his luck with a speculative overhead effort before Eto’o doubled his side’s advantage just before the break. United failed to clear a corner and defender Gary Cahill picked out Eto’o unmarked in the box. His shot was close to David de Gea but had too much power for the young Spaniard, and he completed his treble from close range when following up Cahill’s header to secure a fifth successive league victory for Jose Mourinho’s side. Substitute Javier Hernandez pulled one goal back for United with 12 minutes remaining, but Chelsea were placed under little pressure during a meek second-half performance, and United’s misery was compounded when Vidic was given a

straight red for a rough tackle on Hazard. “We did not deserve to be 2-0 down at halftime,” Moyes said. “We had a little bit of bad luck with the first one but we can’t blame anyone else but ourselves for the other two. We did not defend well enough and did not get a chance like Chelsea got to score, so we can only blame ourselves for that.” ADEBAYOR DOUBLE Adebayor opened the scoring for Spurs after 35 minutes with a near-post header from Christian Eriksen’s cross, and after Chico Flores turned a Kyle Walker cross into his own net early in the second half, the Togo striker made it 3-0 with 19 minutes left having been set up by Danny Rose. Wilfried Bony capped a tireless effort by pulling one goal back for the hosts who now sit three points above the

2013 was a good year for Police Athletics Club- coach Lyndon Wilson But there was some exceptional performances and once we keep working hard we can achieve better than we achieved last year, what I can tell you is that last year was one of our better years in athletics because we were able to recapture the Joint Services Championships which was excellent.” Wilson said. The reigning champs from 2012 the Police club went down to the Running Braves athletics club in the Boyce and Jefford’s Classic. Wilson gave all the praise to his athletes, noting the club’s biggest development was in the achievements that the athletes were able to accomplish last year. The success of the club’s athletes last year was testament to the high level of talent that the club has been able to develop over the past few years. At the helm is young Alita Moore and Winston George. Moore was one of four

By Tamica Garnett COACH of the Police Athletics Club, Lyndon Wilson, warns that his club will be stepping out to win this year, even as his athletes have already begun preparation for this year’s season. “We have already started our programmes, we’re not waiting on the AAG to send their competition sheet out to us. But we have started some [training], at least we are in our condition and strengthening phase. Even during the holidays most of our athletes were still doing some training in between, so they never give up, they were doing some continuous training. So we’re preparing and I do hope they start with the developmental meets, so once they start with that we are fully prepared,” Wilson said when he spoke with Chronicle Sport earlier last week. The national coach, who has been at the head of the club’s coaching for the past 16 years, said that 2013 was a very good year for the club and contenders can expect more of the same with much improvement. Noting that it wasn’t the club’s best year, Wilson relayed that it was one of the better years and overall was a

ESPN3 to televise US T20 Championships NEW YORK, (CMC) – The United States of America Cricket Association (USACA) and ESPN3 have signed an agreement to deliver the 2014 US National Cricket Championships exclusively on the multi-screen sports network. The US National Cricket Championships will be carried live from the Worlds Sports Park in Indianapolis beginning August 21, 2014 and concluding with both finals on Sunday, August 24. The US National Championships will involve teams from all Regions of the USA and will be played in the exciting Twenty20 format. Teams will compete in two Conferences, with the top four teams competing in the finals on August 24. Both finals will be delivered live on ESPN3. “US cricket has worked very hard this year to increase the exposure of our sport in America,” said Gladstone Dainty, President, USACA. “We have been developing a strong foundation on which to showcase cricket to the American public and we believe that the reinvigoration of the US National Cricket

Darren Beazley Championships will create a great deal of excitement both within and external to the US cricket community.” “Fans have come to know ESPN3 as a leading destination for live cricket events in the US,” said Todd Myers, Director of Programming and Acquisitions, ESPN. “By carrying the US National Cricket Championships, we hope to continue to grow the sport by giving it national exposure across a variety of accessible platforms.” Teams from across the

eight Regions in the US will also compete in a lead in series commencing in May which will see 32 matches played across the country. Final teams will be selected in July in preparation for the US National Cricket Championships in late August. “2014 will be an exciting year for US cricket and the agreement with ESPN3 is a positive start. The US cricketing scene will receive a boost by not only having the chance to play on the brand new Worlds Sports Park in Indianapolis including a new turf pitch, but to follow the lead up the Championships starting in May,” said Darren Beazley, CEO, USACA. “By working closely with ESPN3, we hope that the Finals on August 24 will draw a significant audience across a number of platforms”. The US National Team will be selected from the US National Cricket Championships to compete in the 2014 Auty Cup in Florida in September. The Auty Cup is a fourday series of cricket matches between the United States and Canada, played at Central Broward County International Cricket Stadium in Florida. Both teams field a number of expatriates including Caribbean-born players

athletes who were last year awarded athletics scholarships to study in the USA. She is currently still training with the club until she leaves to begin her studies. On the other hand it was a good year for George. “Basically the year was very good for Police athletes in general. We had Winston George representing Guyana at several games overseas. Then we have young Alita Moore who is making a name for herself, she was unbeaten for the entire year last year, in the 100m and 200m, and then she seems to be mastering the 400m also. We were also able to get back Jonella Jonas on course, she was once a middle and long distance athlete she has overcome her injury and she’s back out. She had a chronic knee injury, and she was competing but she wasn’t able to compete 100%, but now that we were able to get her to a specialist she is not fully 100 as yet, but we’re seeing 90 – 95% so far. And once we get her to that 100% I know she will be able to create a storm in Guyana, in the middle

and long distance.” Wilson also said that he was proud of those older athletes who were able to make a comeback with their performances last year. “I’ve seen some athletes rise to the occasion, who used to make a name for themselves, and they seem to be headed back in that direction. Athletes like Leota Bobb, Nadine Rodrigues, Trevor Scotland, these are some athletes who people were claiming they were going over the hill and they were able to redeem themselves last year.” Wilson explained. Wilson is already thinking ahead for this year and is hoping that his athletes will upkeep their stellar performances and be able to represent Guyana again this year. “We are hoping to participate in every event this year. There are a few international events coming up this year, which we are hopeful of participating in, so persons can expect much more from the Police club because we always step out there to win.”

Former Grenada striker considers retirement

LONDON, UK, (CMC) – Former Grenada international striker Jason Roberts has dropped hints of his retirement from football. Roberts, who plays Reading FC in the Championship League, has not kicked a ball since December 2012 due to a career-threatening hip injury. The 35-year-old, who scored eight goals in six games playing for Grenada, is no closer to a return to competitive football despite an operation in March and months of rehabilitation. “I have never really been injured before but I think when you go through something like this at my age you start to really question how much longer you can go on. “It’s been really frustrating. I’ve had an operation, steroid injections and time abroad. We have done everything we possibly can do and we just haven’t been able to get it to a point where I’m fit enough to play yet,” said Roberts who led Reading to the 2011/12 Championship title. “I’ve had six or seven opportunities to try and come back and we’ve not made it through two or three training sessions. “It’s really frustrating. I’ve never really been injured before so when you go through something like this it certainly makes you realise how lucky you’ve been.” Roberts made several attempts to return to the field but only to suffer more setbacks with his injury. He is still unable to run properly due to the pain in his hip, and the striker, who

scored 169 goals in 517 appearances in a career spanning more than 16 years, fears for his future. “I’m actually not able to get out of a jog,” he explained. “The surgeon went in, he shaved some bone away and re-attached some cartilage. It was micro-fractured, it was quite a big issue. “I should have been back in four to five months but it has been over a year now, so it’s a frustration for everyone. “But as a professional football player all you want to do is play football and when you’ve never been injured before you realise just what some people have been through.” Asked if he could still

make a comeback, Roberts said: “Two weeks ago I would have said ‘yes’, but after my recent breakdown I’m a little bit concerned. But we’ll go back to the surgeon and see what he says. “In the end you can only try to come back so many times before you realise it is not going to happen. The last breakdown was a couple of weeks ago. I couldn’t get through a training session after training for two or three weeks. “So I’ll go back to the surgeon because I’m going to need a life after football and I’m sure I’m going to need a new hip anyway. If I could play I would, but at the moment it’s restrictive.”

Two females among 10 persons successfully completed IBA Refree/Judges course

Successful participants of the IBA Referee/Judges course which concluded yesterday strike a pose at Olympic House. Sitting from left are: GBA president Steve Ninvalle, Director of Sport Neil Kumar, Course Director James Beckles of Trinidad and Tobago and GBA Secretary Shawn Richmond. By Michael DaSilva

WO females are among 10 persons who successfully completed an International Boxing Association (IBA) Refree/Judge’s course which concluded yesterday at the Olympic House, High Street, Georgetown. The course which was conducted by IBA qualified Refree/ Judge Instructor James Beckles

of Trinidad and Tobago over a five-day period, saw Nicola Yhap and Paulette Marks successfully completing the theory and practical aspects of the course for level one and two Refree/Judges respectively. While congratulating the successful participants, President of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) Steve Ninvalle alluded to the fact that there is a gender gap in most

sport disciplines. Ninvalle, a former sports journalist and now Deputy Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Sport, noted that this is the course instructor’s, James Beckles third boxing related visit to Guyana and every time he comes here on behalf of the IBA’s assignment, a female is always added to the GBA’s cadre of officials. “Today I think boxing has

scored a knock-out punch and it is very important that we have workshops and seminars for the further development of the sport,” Ninvalle stated. Ninvalle said Guyana will be hosting a Goodwill tournament next month and has extended invitations to Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago and St. Lucia and to date, Jamaica has confirmed that they would be sending four boxers and two officials for the tournament which is slated for February 14-16. He said Barbados has indicated that they would not be available as they would be having two tournaments around the same time. Confirmation from Trinidad and Tobago as well as from St. Lucia is expected by tomorrow. He said an invitation is expected to be sent to Cuba, “as we need to have our boxers compete against the best there is in the world in order to develop ourselves,” Ninvalle remarked. The Deputy Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Sport used the opportunity to extend an invitation to Beckles to return to Guyana to officiate in the Goodwill tournament. Beckles’ sojourn to Guyana for the five-day seminar was

funded by the National Sports Commission whose Director of Sport Neil Kumar lauded the efforts of the GBA to further develop the sport which has brought Guyana its only Olympic medal to date, that being the bronze medal that Michael Parris won at the 1980 Moscow Olympics. Kumar, in delivering the feature address, said the National Sports Commission is in the process of securing a new boxing ring from overseas and has already procured a set of boxing gear and equipment which will be donated to the various clubs across Guyana. Kumar congratulated the females who successfully completed the course and urged them as well as the male participants to make the best of what they learnt during the five-day duration of the course. The Director of Sport challenged the GBA to establish new clubs and get more youths involved in the fistic sport. Beckles in his presentation said Guyana is one of the first Caribbean countries to introduce the electronic scoring system and this will help to bolster the image of the sport. He however noted that with

the electronic system, the judges will have to be very focused when they are judging a fight. Beckles noted many persons at boxing matches judge a bout from what they see and when the results are announced, it’s different from what they thought. He added that with the electronic system, once the judges remain focused, there would be no confusion when the results are announced. He said the 10 participants were very receptive and there was a sense of oneness among him and them. Beckles thanked the GBA for inviting him to conduct the course and the National Sports Commission for off-setting his expenses. The other successful participants are: Leonard Wilson and former Guyana middleweight champion and World Boxing Association Middleweight contender Wayne Harris who both did the Level One course, Eustace Cuffy, Alan Waddle Marcell Daniels and Elton Chase who successfully completed the Level Two Course and Keith Norville and Richard Braithwaithe who did the Level Three course. Certificates of appreciation were presented to Beckles, course coordinator Terrence Poole and Romona Agard.

No knowledge of draft proposals, says Associate representative ONE member of the ICC’s Finance & Commercial Affairs committee has said he was not privy to any details about the F&CA working group’s draft proposal that recommends a radical overhaul of the world cricket administration. Bermuda’s Neil Speight, an ICC director and Associates & Affiliates (A&A) representative in the F&CA committee, said in an email message that he had “no knowledge” of the proposals reported on ESPNcricinfo on Friday. The “position paper” was made available to a Full Member special meeting in Dubai on January 9 to which, Speight said, “no Associate representative was invited” and so “dissociated”

himself from the document and its contents. The recommendations from this “position paper” will effectively cede ICC’s executive power and financial control to the BCCI, Cricket Australia and the ECB. For the three boards, the proposals included permanent membership of an Executive Committee that would override all other committees, exemptions from a new system of Test match promotion and relegation and the re-vamping of ICC’s financial model carving out for them a greater proportion of the ICC’s gross earnings.
