FITUG welcomes BRICS Bank

- but is outraged at the unfolding Palestinian tragedy

SUNDAY CHRONICLE July 20, 2014 THE Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Guyana (FITUG), the nation’s majority labour grouping, welcomes the decision of the Sixth BRICS Summit held in Fortaleza, Brazil to launch a Development Bank. FITU in a release issued yesterday said “Those countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – together represent an important segment of the developing world and their bank, we feel, will contribute greatly to increased South-South co-operation and collaboration.” “Certainly, it will assist greatly countries especially of the developing world in their modest, at this time, modernisation and developmental thrusts and provide an alternative, to the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) which have come under severe criticism over the years for imposing harsh prescriptions and conditionalities through their intervention in several countries experiencing economic/

financial distress. This Bank, which will be headquartered in Shanghai, China, holds out the promise that a first step is being taken that will lead to a new world financial architecture. FITUG views this development in a positive light.” On the other hand, FITUG said it wishes to express its outrage at the latest Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people living in the Gaza area. “It wishes to add its condemnation of the murderous and sustained bombing of civilians and the wanton destruction perpetuated by the Israeli Defence Force (IDF). The killing of the three Israeli youths was indeed tragic and deplorable and is being used as a pretext for the indiscriminate bombing of the people. However, we of FITUG subscribe to the view that the Israeli reaction is utterly disproportionate and unjustified. In just over a week, we understand, that scores of civilians have been killed, homes levelled and,

in general, the bombings have been merciless. The FITUG expresses solidarity with the Palestinian people, to the political and trade union organisations of the liberation movement and to the families of the victims. We join in the worldwide condemnation of the Israeli regime which, in blatant disregard of international public opinion, opposed in several UN resolutions hold the Palestinian people in colonial and apartheid bondage,” the release said. It added: “FITUG recognises that Israel’s aggressive behaviour over the years is rooted in the support – financial and military – it has been receiving from a few countries but mainly from the USA. The latest inhuman military adventure of Israel can only serve to pour fuel in a Region, torn, fragmented and set aflame by imperialist forces with the help of their vassals. In the obtaining circumstances, FITUG extends unwavering solidarity with the people of Gaza and all Palestine. Not only must Israeli crimes cease, but the UN has a duty to ensure that today’s crimes as well as those committed previously by Israel do not go unpunished.”

AFC’s no-confidence motion legally baseless -Teixeira

THE People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Government has described as totally baseless, spurious and constitutionally incorrect, the intended motion, by the Alliance For Change (AFC), as indicated in a letter to President Donald Ramotar, to pass a no-confidence motion against the Government . Speaking on Government’s behalf on Friday evening during an interview on the National Communications Network (NCN), Presidential Adviser on Governance, Ms. Gail Teixeira, said that the administration is fully prepared to face any such parliamentary action which may be brought against it by the political Opposition. The letter which was sent to the President, on Thursday and received on Friday, when he returned from the BRICS summit in Brazil, indicated that the AFC would seek to move the motion to “force the Government’s resignation.” The supposed “forced resignation” indicated by the AFC, in its letter, was also put to rest by the Presidential Adviser, who noted that Constitutional Articles 106 (6) and 106 (7), state that the President and Cabinet will continue to serve until the results of any election, is announced and certified. Teixeira said that whilst the letter quoted Article 166 of the Constitution, it curiously failed to mention Article 218 (3) and the Chief Justice’s ruling in the budget cut court case. Both of these clearly define the role of the Finance Minister and his Constitutional options for accessing funds, a move which the AFC has described

as unconstitutional and even sought to have the Guyana Police Force investigate. According to the Presidential Adviser, the Opposition is using the Constitution incorrectly and appears to be seeking to create nervousness, instability and confusion, and show they have parliamentary power via their one-seat majority. The move by the AFC in which they claim that the actions of the Finance Minister contravened the Appropriations Act by bringing Statements of Excess before the National Assembly to justify the spending of funds disallowed by the opposing side of the House, was explained on previous occasions by both the Finance and the Legal Affairs Ministers. It was also noted that the previous instances in which similar actions were taken by the Finance Minister, there were no such objections. The fact that the AFC is seeking to use the wrong Parliamentary Act to proceed with their motion is nothing more than political bullyism, said Teixeira. President Ramotar in his response to Ramjattan’s letter said such action by the AFC will provide the opportunity for people to demand that the AFC explain why they opposed key developmental projects. “The AFC will have to explain to the Guyanese people their denial of having cheap energy by opposing the hydro-power station at Amaila and therefore opposing the industrialisation of our country, the creation of jobs for people, particularly our young. You will have a chance to explain why you have voted against

giving the Guyanese people better health care due to your Opposition to the specialty hospital. Moreover, you will clarify for the electorate whether it was because your client lost out in the bidding process to construct the complex,” he said in response

maybe be “hard put” to deal with such an issue objectively. The positions of Speaker and Deputy Speaker will show their true value at this point, she further noted. Asked about the possible timeline for such a motion to be tabled, it was explained

actions, via the “New Dispensation” which saw them opposing the passage of the internationally accepted Anti-Money laundering bill, despite the support of numerous stakeholders, locally and internationally, was also described by Teixeira,

to the AFC’s letter.” The AFC’s opposition to the Marriott Hotel’s construction was also noted and the fact that the party’s chief financier who is a hotelier would be afraid of competition. The AFC’s opposing of the Anti-money laundering bill was also noted by the President. The Head of State will not be bullied and will stand by the Constitution, Teixeira stated, in terms of any expenditure for essential activities, but will recognise the right of any political party to file such a No-Confidence motion. The matter will be brought before the Speaker of the National Assembly, and according to Teixeira, he

that precedent has been set by the Speaker who allowed the debate of the motion brought against Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee to begin the same day it was brought. Normally there is a notice that is brought giving the other side of the National Assembly time to examine the merits of any such action but this has been disregarded in the past, she added. With the next parliamentary date remaining unclear, Ms. Teixeira said that the House Speaker or the Opposition can call a date for a sitting since Government’s efforts to have an earlier sitting were thwarted for various reasons by the Opposition. T h e O p p o s i t i o n ’s

as morally and legally unacceptable and such actions should not be tolerated by the general electorate, particularly as it put the entire country at risk of being sanctioned internationally. Mention was made of the Government’s own action against the AFC’s Khemraj Ramjattan and Kathy Hughes, both of whom had or have pecuniary interests in the specialty hospital and the Amaila Falls, respectively. This is against the parliamentary regulations, it was explained, as member of the House who have such interests have to recuse themselves from matters concerning their “interests” and decline to vote, if called on to do so.

The public is tired and saturated and have the ability to see though the shenanigans of both Opposition parties, she noted and opposing members, it must be understood, constantly postpone any sittings when their members are absent so as to ensure they can vote against any Government proposal successfully in spite of its merits. It was recalled that after the only incident free General Elections ever held in Guyana, in 2006, there was a huge leap in development and numerous projects came on stream. This Teixeira stated demonstrated what could happen when common sense prevails. The current 10th parliament demonstrates otherwise. She reiterated that President Ramotar and Government are ready for any motion brought by the Opposition but the Opposition must be prepared to answer the electorate for their actions. (GINA)

Ukraine, rebels argue over wreck, Europeans give Putin ‘last chance’ By Anton Zverev and Peter Graff (Reuters) - Ukraine accused Russia and pro-Moscow rebels on Saturday of destroying evidence to cover up their guilt in the shooting down of a Malaysian airliner that has accelerated a showdown between the Kremlin and Western powers. As militants kept international monitors away from wreckage and scores of bodies festered for a third day, Russian President Vladimir Putin urged the rebels to cooperate and insisted that a U.N.-mandated investigation must not leap to conclusions. Moscow denies involvement and has pointed a finger at

Kiev’s military. The Dutch government, whose citizens made up more than half the 298 aboard MH17 from Amsterdam, said it was “furious” at the manhandling of corpses strewn for miles over open country and asked Ukraine’s president for help to bring “our people” home. After U.S. President Barack Obama said the loss of the Kuala Lumpur-bound flight showed it was time to end the conflict, Germany called it Moscow’s last chance to cooperate. European powers seemed to swing behind Washington’s belief Russia’s separatist allies were to blame.

Gunmen kill 21 Egyptian military border guards near Libya By Michael Georgy (Reuters) - Gunmen killed 21 Egyptian military border guards near the frontier with Libya on Saturday, highlighting a growing threat from an area that authorities say has become a haven for militants seeking to topple the Cairo government.

Security officials said the assailants were smugglers. But the army spokesman said on his Facebook page that “terrorists” - the term authorities use to describe Islamist militants - were behind the attack. He said a weapons storage facility was blown up by a rocket-propelled grenade in an exchange of fire, killing

the soldiers and wounding four others. The attack took place in Wadi al-Gadid governorate, which borders both Sudan and Libya. Two smugglers were killed in clashes with the guards, security officials said. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has repeatedly expressed concerns about militants who have capitalized on

the chaos in Libya and set up operations along the border. Security officials say those militants pay smugglers to transport weapons, including machineguns and rocket-propelled grenades, to comrades in Egypt, which is already facing an Islamist insurgency based in the Sinai Peninsula near Israel.

Wave of bombings in Baghdad kills 27 people: police, medics By Raheem Salman (Reuters) - At least 27 people were killed in a wave of bombings in mostly Shi’ite Muslim areas of Baghdad on Saturday, police and medics said, in the deadliest day of attacks in the capital since a Sunni insurgency overran large parts of Iraq’s north last month. In the first explosion, a suicide car bomber drove into a police checkpoint, killing nine people including seven policemen and wounding 21 people in the Abu Dsheer district in the south of the capital, the sources said. Four other car bombs killed a total of 19 people: one in the Bayaa district in

southwestern Baghdad, one in the western district of Jihad and two in northern Baghdad’s Kadhimiya, the site of a major Shi’ite shrine. One person was killed when a bomb laid on the side of a road exploded in the mixed Sunni-Shi’ite district of Saydiya in southern Baghdad later in the day. No person or group immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks. Islamic State, an al Qaeda offshoot that seized large parts of northern Iraq last month, has claimed several suicide bombings in the capital. Its latest claim was for a bombing that killed three people on Thursday in the heart of the city.

Negril nightmare Children perish in padlocked house (The Gleaner) CONSTANT BREAK-INS and the fear of being robbed again may have forced the mother of the three children who were burnt to death in a fire at West End in Negril on Friday morning to lock her home tightly. It was the same locks that held the children inside causing their heart-wrenching death, and the hospitalisation of Cynthia Arthurs, a vendor, who has been described by her neighbours as a caregiver who made sacrifices for her children. The bodies of sisters, 14-year-old Brittany Boning and 11-year-old Beyonce Leslie, and their eight-yearold cousin, Xavier McKenzie, were found in a bathtub in a section of the two-apartment board and concrete dwelling. “Her house has been broken into at least once per week in the last month,” said one of Arthurs’ neighbours. The single-mother

The remains of the ill-fated house in West End, Negril, where three children died in a fire on Friday locked her children in her home ‘safely’, and went to the gym, the police have confirmed. Reports are that she left home at 5 a.m. At 6:30 a.m., she received a call that her house was on fire. Speculation is rife in the

neighbourhood that the fire was the work of arsonists, because of the number of break-ins and attempted robberies that the family has been subjected to. According to the neighbours, the children did not go without a fight.

Spanish police arrest ‘Colombian drug lord el Raton’

The man identified as Hernan Alonso Villa (centre) was arrested under a Colombian extradition warrant (BBC News) Spanish police say they have arrested one of Colombia’s most wanted men, Hernan Alonso Villa, known as “el Raton” (The Mouse). He is suspected of being head of a gang of 200 people linked to international drug trafficking and extortion. Hernan Alonso Villa was arrested on a road outside

Alicante in southern Spain after a month-long tracking operation. He is considered one of the main leaders of the “Oficina de Envigado” group which operates around Medellin. The Oficina (Office) is responsible for exporting cocaine to Spain, the United States and Holland, a police

statement said. The suspect was carrying 40,000 euros ($54,000; £31,600) in cash when he was arrested, under a Colombian extradition warrant, police said. The Oficina was connected to the 1980s Medellin Cartel led by infamous drug lord, Pablo Escobar.

Kamla: New laws will protect children from abuse at homes By Anna Ramdass (Trinidad Express) Government will be working on legislation to ensure the protection of children who are housed at children’s homes, says Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar. Persad-Bissessar was speaking to the media at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann’s, on Tuesday, following a cocktail reception to honour the life and work of the late Nelson Mandela. Persad-Bissessar said the chairman of the Child Protection Task Force, Diana Mahabir-Wyatt, had indicated the committee’s

Kamla Persad-Bissessar report—which includes recommendations on protection of children in homes—

was near completion. The Prime Minister said from there, Government will look at legislation to ensure protection. Persad-Bissessar was commenting on the report into allegations of abuse at the St Michael’s Home for Boys. Persad-Bissessar said: “Allegations, if true, are very shocking allegations, very tragic and horrendous to think that children who are already vulnerable are subjected to the kinds of actions that the report contains.” She said she had instructed the Attorney General to forward the matter to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Ag Commissioner of Police.

AFC’S DESPERATE ANTICS

WELL, as would be evident to those who follow the fulminations of the Alliance For Change (AFC), the minority parliamentary partner of the main opposition, People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR), was up to customary ill-conceived media-grabbing stunts this past week on two fronts: First, the AFC, with five of the 65 seats in Parliament-to the PNCR’s 28 and the PPP/C’s 32-has sent a letter to President Donald Ramotar informing him of its decision to formally move a ‘no confidence’ motion against the Government. At best, this could be viewed as merely a “declaration of intent,” designed to feed the party’s hunger for grabbing media-headlines in the absence of a known inability to offer serious responses to national issues of importance. Secondly, the AFC filed a complaint with the Guyana Police Force against Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh for, it claims, acting illegally in spending state funds not authorised by parliament. Amid speculations of a likely snap general election this year, when the AFC should be en-

gaged in some honest, critical internal assessments of problems of its own creation, it seems more inclined to be obsessed with infantile political propaganda in the media. It is aware that it could depend on faithful coverage, of whatever political mischief it is up to, in at least the “daily waterfall” which is known for its own disrespect for truth and hatred for the PPP/C-led Government. For a party whose leadership structure includes members of the local legal profession, the AFC seems prone to falling victim to its own absurd political initiatives and propaganda. This is now further borne out by both its complaint filed with the police against the Finance Minister and letter to the President of its impending “no confidence” motion against the Government. Let’s quickly address the latter: For any such “no confidence” motion to be approved against the Government, it would require ALL 33 votes from the opposition benches. This means the entire bloc of PNCR (28) and AFC (5) against the PPP/C’s 32. It should be noted that up to last week, and

prior to the AFC’s letter to the President, there was NO formal consultation or accord on a likely combined “no confidence” motion against the Government by the two Opposition parties. Indeed, the PNCR seems absorbed at present with its own internal affairs that, most importantly, include the party’s forthcoming congress. So, it seems as if the AFC’s leadership which, incidentally, is NOT known for democratic consultations with the party’s internal structures—at least those that are FUNCTIONING-is engaged in a political game that Trinidadians like to hilariously dismiss as “spinning top in mud.” Given the ruling by the Chief Justice (ag) Mr. Ian Chang on the Government’s right in relation to the previous 2013 budget, it is quite strange that the AFC’s leader would have adopted his questionable course in complaining the Finance Minister to the GPF-as if Dr. Singh has committed a crime! But then, for a desperate Opposition party like the AFC, there should be no surprises over its current behaviour. Or, more directly, the immature behaviour of its current “leaders”!

The so-called academic is the joker of this country THE writer of “Jagdeo’s expenditure: Uncle Donald in trouble” wants respect and he calls himself a philosopher, historian, analyst and truly speaking, in a nut shell, he is always saying that he is ‘academic par excellence.’ At best, he is the joker of the country. I have a simple question here, and it is about decency and maturity of serious academics. This man just uses KN NEWS (and vice-versa) to do a lot of public cussing. He is the epitome of the very things he calls people: “... the West Coast Demerara swimming pool man, the MBA man, the cricket bully, the finance man who thinks he is a wizard and the fisherwoman will have to wait until 2016.” When this kind of faeces comes from him, I want to know who is more the ‘fisher woman.’ And what is a worse tag? Fisher woman? Or faecal face? He deserves both. Let me now make a point here about General Elections as regards snap polls. The two Opposition parties made their bluff and the PPP/C stood its ground. If A Partnership for National Unity

(APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC) want, they can go ahead with their ‘no confidence’ thing and see where it lands them. I think by now, most people know what kind of people reside in these two parties. I offer my observation here. The internal war for leadership within the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) speaks of a lust for power; the treatment Vanessa Kissoon is getting, tells a tale of abuse from leaders in this same party; and what transpired in Essequibo shows that AFC is bent on mayhem, when it cannot get its way. I am glad that the people of Guyana and those of the Diaspora are aware of this. Getting back to the ranting of this man of “Big Coat fame”, I see that he is now shifting his analysis. He is now saying that “... the PPP is the biggest electoral enemy of the PPP (and that) the PPP cannot win back a majority because it continues to produce the venalities that caused them to lose the 2011 elections in the first place.” Big LOL on this! Before, he was saying that PPP missed

out on a majority, because of his influence on the people with the Jagdeo court matter on libelling and then the defection of Moses Nagamootoo. It is like the ‘facecal man’ is insane. Indeed, from a medical perspective, he really is-the signs are there. Let me offer some as I close my letter. Heightened sensitivity to sights, sounds, smells or touch and avoidance of over-stimulating situations-This man thinks people want to kill him (maybe he craves martyrdom). Unusual or exaggerated beliefs about personal powers to understand meanings or influence events-readers laugh at how he mangles the English Language and how he writes what he himself cannot explain; and lastly, uncharacteristic and peculiar behaviour-his gait and gesticulations suggest that a form of abnormality, as they give him a kind of noticeable weirdness.

Facing Facebook 3 By Keith Burrowes THIS IS the fourth and final installment in what has turned out, inadvertently I should add, to be a series on young people and modern communication technology. In the first ‘installment’, which I intended to be a ‘one-off,’ I examined how the new technology impacted young people, how it ‘transformed’ stuff that young people have been doing probably since the beginning of recorded history. ‘I frankly think nothing short of fanatical religious fundamentalist type oppression has a chance of slowing it down, not stopping it, mind you. As a parent, all I can say is that the two things that have worked for good parents throughout history need to be applied here, granted with much greater intensity: vigilance and understanding’ That generated such an overwhelming response that I had it run two weeks. The second article focused specifically on the more or less specific concept of social networking, and while the response to that was good, it was basically me writing about something that I wasn’t familiar enough with to communicate as effectively as possible with my audience. Older readers in particular sent me some mails querying some of the concepts I’d used, especially those that dealt with Facebook. Last week’s article was an attempt at responding to those queries, explaining some of the basic elements of the social network. And the general feedback that I received was positive. This week, I want to deal with a specific but related issue; that of the phenomenon called ‘sexting.’ I suppose the best point of entry I can conceive of for this piece is an e-mail a friend sent me, the main point of which was to bring my attention to a segment of some show aired on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) which dealt with this most recent of ‘techno-social’ issues. The term — an obvious contraction or bringing together of ‘sex’ and ‘texting’ — has recently become mainstream, for reasons both relatively run-of-the-mill and notorious. For example, it’s not uncommon for the celebrity pages of our local newspapers — this one included — to carry some story about some movie star and musician ‘sexting’ each other. According to the Online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, arguably the most reliable source for most things to do with the technology that this generation thrives on, “Sexting is the act of sending sexually explicit messages or photographs, primarily between mobile phones.” In the first article in this series, I mentioned a story surrounding an incident at an otherwise reputable senior secondary school, where two young people recorded some sexual activity using a mobile phone. While it was said that the video was accessed on the young man’s computer, reports were that it was spread among other students

by way of mobile phone. This represents the more notorious side to the phenomenon, both in terms of degree of graphicness as well as the persons involved. Two adults engaging in what is decidedly adult behaviour is one thing; but it’s different if two minors are involved. In researching this article, I found a rather interesting report Online on the CBS website: “While it may be shocking,” the piece begins, “the practise of ‘sexting’ — sending nude pictures via text message — is not unusual, especially for high schoolers around the country. This week, three teenage girls, who allegedly sent nude or semi-nude cell-phone pictures of themselves and three male classmates in a western Pennsylvania high school who received them, are charged with child pornography. In October 2010, a Texas eighth-grader spent the night in a juvenile detention centre after his football coach found a nude picture on his cellphone that a fellow student sent him. Roughly 20 percent of teens admit to participating in ‘sexting’, according to a nationwide survey by the National Campaign to Support Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy.” Now, I am the last person to take data from another jurisdiction and simply transplant it here to prove some point about correlation, even in the light of relevant data here being absent. That said, I think it’s reasonable to expect that, in light of the fact that American culture so heavily influences our own, and because of the level of penetration of cheap mobile phone technology in Guyana, it can be reasonably safe to speculate that a significant number of local teenagers either have been involved in ‘sexting’ themselves or have been exposed to ‘sexted’ material. While in the first article, I made the point that our reaction to the effects of the new technology needs to be reasoned and objective, that we need to respond to these developments within the context of the generational gap, there are things that need to be dealt with ‘swiftly and condignly’, even as we are keeping an open mind. The advent of ‘sexting’ is a particularly dangerous trend when it comes to the moral decline – and there has been, as even the most liberal of people would admit, a decline – that is affecting our society. When, in my formative years in the early 1980s, if you found a pornographic magazine, that was like a treasure for teenage boys, and even a few girls if I remember correctly. I’m not saying me, mind you, but someone in possession of one would make it last for years. In the late eighties, even among adults, pornographic VHS tapes were probably worth their weight in silver or some other semi-precious metal at least. In the late nineties, teens were able to access some pornographic websites, and then suddenly a lot more as the millennium changed. Now, worse than even the access to pornography online, our teenagers now have the means of pornographic production as well as its dissemination, literally

Keith Burrowes at their fingertips. Literally, any teenage child with a camera phone is a potential porn director and actor or actress, and that – in a culture bombarded by sex and sexual messages – cannot be a good thing. Again, I can’t offer any detailed solution to this problem. I frankly think nothing short of fanatical religious fundamentalist type oppression has a chance of slowing it down, not stopping it, mind you. As a parent, all I can say is that the two things that have worked for good parents throughout history need to be applied here, granted with much greater intensity: vigilance and understanding. Finally, I would like to signal my intention to take the series back towards another subject area: The international scene. In the past two months or so, a wave of protests have swept the Middle East and Africa, the Arab world to be precise, a series of uprisings against oppressive regimes, specifically those of Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Bahrain and Yemen. My observation, which I will expand upon in next week’s piece, has to do with the hypocrisy of the West in its reaction – or reactions, rather – to these popular revolutions. In summary, what I’ve seen are contrasting responses, from one country in particular, to what is by any measure the same phenomenon – when the people of Libya rose up against Gadaffi, we heard strong words of support and encouragement, as well as reports of alleged clandestine logistical aid given to rebels; two days ago, 30 protestors were slaughtered in Bahrain, with hundreds of others injured, and we are yet to hear anything close to outrage against the regime, or support for the people protesting. The enormous blunders made in Iraq can still be considered a part of fairly recent history as well as, in some aspects, current affairs. Whenever the dust settles, the story of Iraq will be one of the measurement of a few thousands of lives lost under the dictatorship, a dictatorship marked by relative social order, against over one hundred thousand casualties and counting against a backdrop of ongoing sectarian violence, the latter after the removal of the dictator and the introduction of so-called freedom. Next week, a lot more on convenience and inconsistency in the promotion of democracy across the world today.

VENEZUELA’S ‘INACTION’ A WORRY FOR GUYANA - CARICOM’s latest call

(*Editor’s note: The following article is what largely first appeared in last Wednesday’s Trinidad Express and is reprinted (courtesy of that newspaper) with some time-lined changes): Analysis by Rickey Singh “WHILE THE International Monetary Fund (IMF) was signalling a warning (over a week ago) to Trinidad and Tobago on its “vulnerability” to the implications of a further decline in energy prices, Caribbean Community Heads of Government were, differently, urging Venezuela to move “definitively” for a resolution to its territorial dispute with Guyana. Of immediate interest to Guyana is the urgency for an understanding by Venezuela of Guyana’s unhindered access to its territorial waters for offshore oil exploration. And the 19th century colonial-inherited territorial problem for the Governments in Caracas and Georgetown was expected to be addressed during an informal meeting of the Presidents of Venezuela (Nicolas Maduro) and Guyana (Donald Ramotar) on the margins of last week’s three-day summit of the BRICS bloc of states that took place in Brazil and concluded on Thursday. Hosted by Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff, this sixth summit of BRICS-acronym for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa-is expected to announce by Friday the progress achieved on major economic issues including inauguration of a US$100 Billion ‘New Development Bank.’ Guyana and Suriname are the two CARICOM members among countries of UNASUR (Union of South American Nations) that also participated in the BRICS summit. AFFECTED TWO STATES Venezuela’s age-old territorial row with Guyana dates

back to an 1899 claim by which the Venezuelan regime of the time had laid claim to some two thirds of the 83,000 square miles territory of then colonial British Guiana—despite the ruling of an international tribunal in Paris declaring the Venezuelan claim to be “null and void.”

PRESIDENT DONALD RAMOTAR

PRESIDENT NICOLAS MADURO

The other CARICOM member state that continues to be afflicted with a colonial-inherited border dispute is Belize which had gained its independence from Britain, while still contending with territorial claims by Guatemala. At their recent 35th regular annual summit in Antigua

CARICOM Heads of Government reaffirmed continued support for the “sovereignty and territorial integrity” of both Guyana and Belize. In relation to the Venezuela-Guyana dispute, the CARICOM leaders expressed their concern “over the lack of progress towards the consideration of options, within the context of international law in delimiting the maritime boundary.” Guyana’s anxiety over lack of progress has deepened since the status quo of inaction in Venezuela is regarded as contrary to the spirit of agreement by their respective Foreign Ministers at a meeting following the controversy that erupted last year when the Venezuelan navy seized and detained a seismic survey vessel in Guyanese territorial waters. Disappointments over recurring failures to resolve a 19th century territorial dispute that continues to plague bilateral cooperation for development in the 21st century in the case of Venezuela and Guyana is all the more disturbing in view of both countries recurring stated ‘commitment’ to a peaceful resolution and the pursuit of joint ventures for economic development. Let’s see what new and encouraging public statement the Presidents of Venezuela and Guyana would be ready to offer following their informal meeting in Brazil during the current BRICS summit. *LATEST: There has been no official confirmation of a bilateral informal meeting between the Guyanese and Venezuelan Heads of State while in Brazil)

MH17 – Who Did It? What Next? seems unlikely. That crew (or somebody else) was good enough to down three Ukrainian Air Force planes over the rebel-held zone in the past week, but they weren’t good enough to tell the difference between a military aircraft and a civilian airliner. The Ukrainian planes were smallish aircrafts flying low in a combat zone; the huge Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 was flying straight and steady at 10,000 metres (33,000

feet). A fully trained operator would know the difference in an instant. Somebody who had just had a crash course in firing Buk missiles (two tracked vehicles and a lot of electronics) might not. So 298 people died. There are two questions to answer here. One is: who did it? The Ukrainian government, the pro-Russian rebels and the Russian Federation have all denied responsibility. The other is: what happens if, despite their denials, the rebels and/or the Russians themselves are to blame? Is this horrible event a “game-changer”? Who did it is actually pretty obvious. At least one Buk launch team was spotted by an Associated Press reporter in the rebel-held zone on Wednesday, and there may have been more. The Russians have been trying to deny the air-space over the combat zone to the Ukrainians so that their army has to do all its fighting

Relevance of Marx for reducing inequality Inequality is capitalism’s salvation -Part 2

IT is a great irony of our times that such huge attempts are being made to deport Marxism to history’s dustbin while capitalism remains the most favoured economic model for Western nations, in spite of its inhumane and degrading consequences for people. Indeed, deportation of Marxism to history’s dustbin would only happen where Marxism is public enemy number one, as in the U.S.A. There is, perhaps, an amusing anecdote on this acrimony toward Marxist thinking in the U.S.A. Newly-appointed Britisher David Harvey at Johns Hopkins University was a member of the university commission in the 1970s analyzing problems in the city of Baltimore (1); in the report, Harvey indicated that he used ideas from Marx’s Das Kapital. Baltimore policy makers claimed that the report was perceptive, not knowing that Harvey used Marxist ideas in the report. The point here is that the city policy makers would have thrown the report into the dustbin had they known upfront that the report was drawn from Marxist thinking. Harvey added that Marxist ideas worked for him and others and that the ideas were interesting. He spoke of Marxism in glowing terms in a country which is the bedrock of capitalism

“…Marxist thinking is a requirement for change, a requirement to reduce inequality, and a requirement to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor.” and where, too, capitalism is the ‘most favoured’ economic model, with top capitalists as its soldiers or guardians. Under such circumstances, it is more than likely that ‘most favoured’ implies that top capitalists of the Western world would opt to bail out capitalism whenever it is in crisis. Capitalism has its good days and bad days. Whenever bad days emerge, capitalism adapts itself to fight off the woes from such days through the good auspices of its capitalist masters. In fact, one of several forms of adaptation that capitalism makes in overcoming its flaws in a crisis situation is increasing inequality. Look at the evidence for this growing inequality in 2009 during the international financial crisis, indeed, a significant crisis of capitalism, where chief executives at JP Morgan, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup and Wells Fargo together made $36.8

million; in 2013, that total reached $96.1 million (2); even as the pains of the capitalist crisis still reign supreme and workers continue to receive pittance from their employers. In reality, capitalism adapted to the crisis by hiking inequality through exorbitant paychecks for top executives, thus further increasing the gap between the rich and the poor. Higher inequality leads to stronger capitalism which makes this conclusion feasible: inequality is capitalism’s salvation. One substantial avenue available to raise inequality is neoliberalism. Neoliberalism works toward reducing the power of the government to provide social services, increasing the power of private enterprise, and put an end to controlling the free market (3). The march of neoliberalism is certainly anti-Marxist. On the local scene in Guyana, there is a concerted effort on the Opposition’s part to reduce the Government’s involvement and control of major public projects. For instance, over the last few years, the Opposition engineered budget cuts on several public capital investments, such as, Cheddi Jagan Airport Modernisation David Harvey Project, Ogle Aerodrome assistance, Civil Aviation equipment and Hinterland/Coastal Airstrips, the specialist hospital, among others, and effectively terminated the Amaila Hydropower Project. The Government’s capital projects when effectively operational would reduce unemployment in Guyana. The slowing-down of these projects, therefore, is inimical to development and it is occurring when there is evidence to show that Government capital investments can add greater gains to the people than can private capital investments (4); and also that Government consumption expenditures produce

MH17 – Who Did It? ...

without air support and suffers increased casualties. Six Ukrainian planes have been shot down in the past six weeks. The Ukrainian government says it has no surface-toair missiles in the area, and it is probably telling the truth. With one possible exception, there have been no reports of Russian planes overflying the Region, so anti-air defences were not needed. The really damning evidence, however, is on the social media sites. First there is a post on a top rebel commander’s site, just at the time MH 17 went down, claiming to have downed a Ukrainian transport plane. Within hours that post was deleted. Then the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) posted intercepted telephone conversations between rebel commanders on YouTube. “Demon,” commanding the rebel troops who are the first to the crash site, reports: “Cossacks from the Chernunkhino checkpoint shot down the plane....They found the first body. It’s a civilian.” “Were there many people?” asks his superior, nicknamed “Greek.” “A fuckload,” replies Demon. “The debris rained right into the yards.”

“Any weapons there?” asks Greek. “None at all. Civilian things. Medical stuff, towels, toilet paper,” says Demon. “Any documents?” asks Greek. And Demon, finally realising what must have happened, replies: “Yes. From an Indonesian student. From Thompson University.” And he curses again. It’s pronbably not Thompson University, which is an entirely online institution in the United States. It’s almost certainly Thompson Rivers University, in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, which has a student exchange agreement with the International Islamic Education Council (IIEC) in Indonesia. And there’s no way, without access to the crash site and with only a few hours to do the job, that the Ukrainian intelligence service could have come up with that kind of detail to put into a fake recording. It’s genuine. The rebels did it. Russia didn’t want the Cossacks at Chernunkhino to shoot down a civilian airliner, but it has been giving the rebels heavy weapons while strenuously denying it. It has been caught red-handed, and hundreds have died. This is indeed a game-changer – but in which direction?

a negative impact on growth, while Government capital investment expenditures yield a positive influence on growth (5). The Opposition’s hold on these projects demonstrates its intent to increase unemployment and further increase inequality in Guyana. Given this situation, the Opposition seems to be in alliance with international capitalist forces

to advance neoliberalism in Guyana. What this means is a developing trend toward greater inequality, and an increase in the gap between the rich and the poor. Against this background, Marxist thinking is a requirement for change, a requirement to reduce inequality, and a requirement to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor. References: 1.

From page 8 One option would be for Moscow to admit it, apologise whole-heartedly, and abandon its clients in eastern Ukraine. That is unlikely to happen. As President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday: “This tragedy would not have occurred if there were peace in that country, or in any case, if hostilities had not resumed in southeast Ukraine. And certainly, the government over whose territory it occurred is responsible for this terrible tragedy.” In other words, yeah, we gave the rebels the weapons, and they used them to shoot down the airliner, but the whole thing wouldn’t have happened if the Ukrainian government had just given in to the rebels. So it’s really Kiev’s fault, not ours. The signs are clear: Russia is going to brazen it out, and go on supplying the separatist rebels with weapons. The Western Europeans have been trying to look the other way (although the United States did impose some extra sanctions this week), but they can’t look away after this. Western sanctions against Russia are going to go up quickly and steeply now. It’s already ugly, and it’s going to get even uglier.

YEST has again provided a lifeline for youths - 195 graduate; 28 get driver’s licence

GOVERNMENT continues to invest in the lives of youths across the country by empowering them with the necessary skills and knowledge needed for their individual development and contribution to nation building.

from across the 10 administrative regions graduated after completing the Youth Entrepreneurial and Skills Training (YEST) programme, at the Kuru Kuru Training Centre’s (KKTC) 14th graduation ceremony. Twenty-eight youths also obtained their driver’s licence following the successful completion of the driving programme which was introduced last year. The YEST programme targets unemployed and outof-school youths between ages 16 and 25 for participation in technical vocational skills at the residential KKTC at Soesdyke. Areas of training offered include Welding and Fabrication, Information Technology, Garment Construction, Business Studies, Carpentry, Electrical Installation, Joinery, Masonry, Motor Mechanic and Plumbing. Remedial Mathematics and English, and a driving course is also offered among other extra- curricular activities. Dr. Anthony congratulated the youths for their perseverance and for successfully completing the programme. He said that while the students have gained a skill and become certified, the Ministry’s reward comes when the students are using the skills and contributing to the country’s economic development. He urged the graduates to further their education at higher institutions such as the Government Technical Institutes and the University of Guyana. “Look at the different opportunities that are available in Guyana and use the knowledge you have gained and create your own businesses….once you develop the skills and take the right risks, you can develop your own business. If you have that dream, passion and vision you can achieve anything and become one of the biggest entrepreneurs in Guyana,” Dr. Anthony told the graduands.

CJIA’s expansion essential for growth of aviation sector - Tourism Minister THE Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) expansion project is essential for the development of the aviation sector, but due to the Opposition’s non-support for the transformational project the sector’s growth is stagnating. Minister of Tourism (ag) Irfaan Ali told the media on Friday: “We also have a major difficulty in the airport in terms of managing effectively, efficiently with the least hassle as possible for the movement of people, the movement of luggage and the safety and security of everything as a result of our inability to expand the airport.” He emphasised that unless the expansion of the runway and airport facility are realised “we are going to stagnate the sector and all those who oppose the development of the airport are actually stagnating the aviation sector.” The Tourism Minister also noted that, “this aviation sector cannot grow, it would never grow if we cannot expand that airport so all

The US$150M project is funded by the Government of China through the Chinese Exim Bank. The expansion will cater for a new terminal building with eight boarding bridges, elevators and CCTV. The runway will be extended by 3,500 feet, and there will be eight international parking positions. In 2013, funding for this project which was budgeted for was slashed by the Opposition. Funds were again allocated in the 2014 National Budget for the project, but suffered the same fate. (GINA)

GPF to soon implement major changes in strategic operations By Michel Outridge DURING the Guyana Police Force (GPF) Awards and Incentives Ceremony at Eve Leary earlier this week, Police Commissioner (ag), Mr Seelall Persaud announced that three new projects will be rolled out. A Suicide Hotline will soon be established, and will see appropriate psychosocial help being administered to depressed persons calling in. The Force has also made a recent appointment of a Chaplain, and that person would not only deal with ceremonies, but will coordinate among the faith-based organisations and experts in the GPF to provide counselling to frontline ranks who would have encountered traumatic experiences, Persaud explained. Moreover, the GPF would be working to provide a liaison to victims of serious crimes with the objective of having GPF counsellors and those from faith-based organisations providing counselling for victims of

serious crimes and relatives of those victims, and to liaise between police investigators and victims in order to provide feedback on the investigation. In order to effectively manage those activities, the Force will soon introduce a Community Relations Branch, the Commissioner (ag) disclosed. He noted that in the Strategic Priority Area of Performance, the police will soon establish Divisionbased Management Top Cop Seelall Persaud I n f o r m a t i o n U n i t s (MIUs) that will use information from the ICIS and other sources to provide

analyses to Divisional Commanders on projects those Commanders have undertaken in order to achieve the most effective results. Persaud pointed out that in the Strategic Priority Area of Infrastructure, a new proactive approach, involving the SMD assisting Divisional and Branch Commanders in the preparation of budgetary proposals to address buildings, transportation, equipment and ICT needs, has been implemented. This is likely to result in proper resourcing of the Force on the basis of planned activities. In addition, Persaud said the Force is also in process of implementing an Electronic Document Management System that will see -- in the first phase -- personnel, financial and stores records moving from paper to electronic databases in order to be of immense support to Operational and Strategic Decision Making. In this area also, a Vehicle Management System is soon to be introduced, and is likely to see more effective use and care of GPF vehicles.

BK International Group of Companies investing in aviation wing

By Rebecca Ganesh-Ally THE BK Group of Companies is reportedly always looking for ways to grow and expand into other sectors besides construction and in this regard it has let the proverbial ‘cat out of the bag’ in announcing the establishment of ‘BK Air,’ an aviation arm of the group of companies. Alex Graham, the BK Group’s Public Relations Consultant, explained that “BK Group has established an aviation arm to be called ‘BK Air’; and the company has started working with the acquisition of an existing aviation company, JAGS Aviation.” Graham disclosed that this aviation arm is still in its preparation stage, as acquiring the proper licensing and permission to operate takes a lot of time, but in the near future BK Air will begin operations. “Aviation is one of those things you don’t just buy a plane and show up and fly; so we’re getting close to the time when we will have our inaugural BK Air flight,” Graham said. The PR Consultant explained that the company would be focusing primarily on domestic flights, but would have the capacity to do regional flights. “Primarily, we will be providing flights domestically, but we have the capacity to provide services within the Caribbean Region,” Graham related. Graham noted that the company is in the process of acquiring a fleet of aircraft, and because of the size of some of these aircraft, the company would operate from both the Ogle International Airport (OIA) and the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA). “We expect in a very short time to have a fleet of seven aircrafts that will be operating out of Ogle and Timehri. The size of some of the aircrafts that we are bringing to Guyana over the next few weeks requires that some of them operate out of Timehri,” he explained, as he emphasised that the company would have the capacity to fly out of Guyana, but its primary concern would be satisfying the needs of the domestic aviation market. Nevertheless, if foreign travel is demanded, the company would be able to deliver. “Once people want to fly, we will fly them. The whole idea is to provide expanded capacity,” Graham disclosed. Graham explained that the company went into aviation because Guyana is currently placing a lot of interest in expanding the infrastructure for exploring the country, “and therefore we want to provide services to people that are visiting to witness Guyana’s eco-tourism product and be able to transport them to any part of the country”. He also noted that another major reason for the company expanding into aviation is because “the new generation of ‘Tiwaries’ has brought energy and dynamism to the company that, for a long time, had confined itself to operating in the construction sector. “We have now been able to push the Directors to expand (the Group’s operations). The company is aligning its resources with opportunities to provide a service and grow the company,” Graham announced. BK International Inc. (BK) Guyana’s largest privately owned indigenous construction company was registered in 1993. It is the successor entity to B & K Transportation and Construction Services, which had started operations ten years earlier.

Frivolous, vexatious, specious and without merit: AG says of AFC’s no confidence motion

MINISTER of Legal Affairs and Attorney General, Anil Nandlall has again denounced the Alliance For Change (AFC) for threatening to bring a noconfidence motion against the Government because Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh has used money from the Consolidated Fund to restore the 2014 budget cuts. “The basis or the reason offered by the Alliance For Change for threatening a no-confidence motion is one that is frivolous, vexatious, specious and without merit,” the Legal Affairs Minister said. Speaking on a programme on the National Communications Network today, Minister Nandlall rejected the basis of the no-confidence motion, on the ground that the Finance Minister did not act on his own volition, but instead, in pursuance of legal advice and a decision of Cabinet, and of the Government of Guyana to restore the sums that were cut from the budget. “...it is not Dr. Singh who is responsible. It is a collective responsibility; it is a government action that Dr. Singh simply executed. Dr. Singh acted in accordance with expressed provision of the constitution which were interpreted by the constitutional courts of

this country (by the Chief Justice of this country) and Dr. Singh was essentially advised to act accordingly t o t h e C h i e f J u s t i c e ’s interpretation of article 218 of the constitution,” Minister Nandlall said. Article 218 of the constitution allows for money to be spent and a statement of excess to be laid by the Finance Minister in the National Assembly. Minister Nandlall noted that a person cannot in law act in conformity with the constitution, and then at the same time, for that very action, contravene any principle of criminal law. OUTRAGED “It is a legal impossibility and Mr. Ramjattan as a lawyer must know that so he is on a fishing expedition. He feels frustrated, that his actions are being defeated...so he is going down that road and we are prepared to deal with it,” Minister Nandlall said. Minister Singh has twice before, acting in accordance with Article 218 of the Constitution, restored the cuts to the Budget in 2012 and 2013, and subsequently laid in the National Assembly, financial papers on the statement of excess. The Minister in those two years received the support of the

AFC and the A Partnership For National Unity (APNU) in passing these financial papers. Minister Nandlall said therefore that he cannot

Attorney General Anil Nandlall comprehend the ‘significant outrage’ that is now being expressed by the Opposition with regards the Finance Minister following similar action on the issue of the restoration of the 2014 budget cut sums. “They lent their support to this identical thing in 2012 and 2013. I do not know whether they are now telling the country that they were asleep in 2012 and 2013 because they did this exact

thing,” Minister Nandlall pointed out. PUBLIC SPECTACLE The AG also slammed the AFC for making ‘a public spectacle’ of their intention to move the no-confidence motion. He noted that whilst the party had a constitutional right to move the motion, the constitution did not however require the party to make a spectacle of their intention to do so. “There is no requirement to issue a threat publicly, there is no requirement for them to write to the Government, they simply have to draft a motion and lay it in the National Assembly so this whole public spectacle that is being created by Mr. Ramjattan about his threat to lay this no-confidence motion is one that is uncalled for, it is completely unnecessary.” Minister Nandlall, noting that the Minister of Finance is being condemned for simply restoring the budget monies which Government has allocated for the people of this country, said that if it is that the Government has to go to the electorate, then it will. UNRUFFLED He said that the

Government is not afraid of the AFC’s no-confidence motion. The no-confidence motion, if tabled by the AFC cannot be passed without the support of the APNU. “We in the People’s Progressive Party is a party that is 60 years old, we have gone to the polls more than any other political party in this country, perhaps more that most others in the Caribbean. The record will show we have never lost an election... so we are not afraid of the electorate, we work with the people of this country everyday to improve their lives and livelihoods and that is our record... so we are not ruffled.” RAMJATTAN WILL HAVE TO EXPLAIN He said if Ramjattan wants to go ahead with his threat, as the President explained in his response to him (Ramjattan), it will give him an opportunity to explain to Berbicians why he partnered with APNU to attempt to close down the sugar industry, jeopardising hundreds of thousands of people’s lives. “He will have to explain why he opposed the amendments to the Anti Money Laundering bill,

and the sanctions which he has exposed us to, and exposed the Guyanese people to economic hardship. He will have to explain why he cut the budget from all the important developmental projects including hydro power, and denying the people of this country a cheap alternative source of energy. He will have to explain to the people of this country why he wants to deny them proper health care by opposing the specialty hospital.” Additionally, Ramjattan will have to explain the role his chairman played in allowing or causing persons who were charged for slaughtering 12 people of Lusignan to walk free from the legal system, and to the Amerindians, why he is denying them developmental projects. He will have to say why he denied young people their student loan at the university, and others their uniform vouchers and transportation expenses. “So there is a lot of explanation which he will have to do, so if he is prepared at this point in time and he feels ready, to offer those explanations, then it is his right to lay that no-confidence motion, and then he will have to deal with the consequences as well.”

Two arrested in connection with shooting incident involving GRA’s LEID officials TWO men have been arrested, including the main suspect, in connection with the shooting incident involving Law Enforcement and Investigation Division (LEID) officials of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) at Dundee Mahaicony last Wednesday. The officers, who were conducting a surveillance exercise based on intelligence received, came under heavy gunfire after detaining three minibuses containing 150 boxes

of chicken for which no papers could be produced, and a car driven by the son of a suspected smuggler. It is alleged that shortly after the keys for the vehicles and the cell phones of the occupants were taken into custody that the suspected smuggler himself and three accomplices pulled up in a grey Toyota Allion car, exited and opened fire in the direction of the LEID officials. The officers were forced to retreat and take cover, while

the detainees escaped in several waiting vehicles. When the dust settled, the vehicle used by LEID officials to conduct the exercise was badly damaged after being riddled with bullets, as well as two of the detained minibuses. One officer who was not so fortunate was injured about the body with pellets allegedly fired from a shot gun. During the incident Yogeshwar Singh, 33 years, who resides in the vicinity, sustained a grazed wound to his forehead from a stray bullet. He was medically treated.

The German officer who tried to kill Hitler By Alex Last BBC World Service On 20 July 1944, a 36-year-old German army officer, Col Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg, arrived at a heavily guarded complex hidden in a forest in East Prussia. His mission was to kill Adolf Hitler. The Wolfsschanze, or Wolf’s Lair, was Hitler’s secret headquarters on the Eastern Front. Stauffenberg was attending the daily briefing between the Fuhrer and Germany’s high command - but in his briefcase, he carried a bomb. “I was a boy of 10, very interested in what was going on in the world. I was just about to become a little Nazi, like all of us. But we never discussed that with my father or my mother. If he had discussed politics with us he couldn’t have shown his real feelings because it would have been too dangerous. Children give things away.” As he recovered from his injuries, Stauffenberg was approached by a group of conspirators led by Gen Henning von Tresckow, who wanted to kill Hitler and overthrow the Nazi regime. Stauffenberg became a leading member of the plot. In 1944, Stauffenberg became chief of staff for the commander of the German Replacement Army. The post gave him access to Hitler and an opportunity to carry out the assassination. The conspirators’ plan was fraught with risk. Stauffenberg would carry explosives in his briefcase, through the security checks surrounding the Wolf’s Lair, prime the bomb and place his briefcase near Hitler during the daily briefing. He would then make his excuses and leave the room. “They were not sure they would succeed but Tresckow said the attack on Hitler must go on, if only to prove that not all Germans were his followers,” says Berthold. But if the plot failed, it was not just the conspirators who

would be at risk. “My mother always said she knew what was planned. She’d found out and confronted my father and so he told her. But she didn’t know that he was to plant the bomb.” “They knew the consequences, but in times of war, life is not as important as it is now in a peacetime environment. People die all the time and to sacrifice oneself seems to be an enormous thing, but in wartime it’s different.” On Thursday 20 July, Stauffenberg arrived at the Wolf’s Lair - the briefing was set for 12:30. But he was interrupted as he tried to set the bomb, so he put only one of two explosive devices in his briefcase before he entered the meeting. “I remember that Stauffenberg had a big black briefcase under his good arm,” said Warlimont in 1967. “But then I didn’t look at him anymore, so I didn’t see him putting it under the table, or leaving the room shortly afterwards. About five to 10 minutes passed - I had forgotten about him when the explosion happened.” Stauffenberg saw the explosion as he left the compound to head back to Berlin. He was sure that Hitler was dead. But just before the explosion, Stauffenberg’s briefcase had been moved behind a table leg away from Hitler. The bomb was not as powerful as intended and Hitler was leaning over the thick oak table looking at maps when it went off which shielded him from the blast. Four died in the explosion and many were injured, but Hitler survived. “When the bomb went off I just had this feeling that a big chandelier had fallen on my head. I went down. I saw Hitler was led out of the room, supported on the arm of Keitel and my first impression was that he was not injured at all, or at least not seriously,” recalled Warlimont. When, hours later, it became clear the Fuhrer was still alive, the attempted takeover of Berlin fell apart. Stauffenberg and other leading conspirators were arrested at the War Office in Berlin

and shot. It was a total shock, I couldn’t believe it... we were brought up in school to believe that the Fuhrer was a wonderful man” At the time, Stauffenberg’s pregnant wife, Nina, and their four children were staying at the family’s estate in the Swabian hills. Berthold didn’t know what was going on. “I heard reports on the radio, reports that an attempt on Hitler’s life had taken place and something about a small clique of criminal and stupid officers. I was 10 years old and I read a newspaper every day, I wanted to know what was going on. The grown-ups tried to keep me away from the radio. Me and my brother were sent on a long walk with my great uncle, Count Uxkull, who told us a lot of things about his life hunting big deer in Africa.” “It was actually the next day that my mother took me and my brother aside and told me that it was our father who’d laid the bomb. I said ‘How, could he do it?’ And she said, ‘He believed he had to do this for Germany.’” “It was a total shock, I couldn’t believe it. An attack on the Fuhrer! We were brought up in school and everywhere else, to believe that the Fuhrer was a wonderful man.” That night the Gestapo came - Berthold’s mother, grandmother and great uncle were among those arrested. Berthold and his siblings were sent to a children’s home. In the aftermath, thousands were arrested and executed for their alleged connection to the resistance. Berthold’s mother was taken to a Gestapo prison at the Ravensbruck concentration camp. She was reunited with her children after the war - she never remarried. “For my mother there was my father and that was just it. He was the man of her life.” Berthold went on to become a general in the West German army. He still lives in the family’s home town.

In his farewell speech, Trotz said he had been able to serve the Guyana Police Force with the strength supplied by the Almighty and the support from his family

members and the senior and junior ranks of the organisation. He called on serving members of the Force, especially the young ones, to grasp every opportunity to be trained and further their personal development which comes their way through the Guyana Police Force. Although rain had fallen earlier in the day and

had caused the ground to be damp, the events to honour the outgoing senior police office were unaffected. Senior Supt. Trotz will be remembered as the first person to head the Police “E” Division after it had been delinked from the “F” Division. Participating in the passing out parade in Trotz’s honour were ranks, officers, constables, scouts and members of the Guyana Police Force Band, which provided the melody for the afternoon. The parade was led by Deputy Superintendent Wayne De Heart, who once served in the division under Trotz, and who is presently in charge of the Impact Base in Georgetown. Owen Trotz commenced and concluded his farewell speech with quotes from the Bible, the bedrock of his Christian faith. Among his achievements in serving the Guyana Police Force, after joining as a special constable, were promotions to the ranks of Corporal, Sergeant, Inspector, Assistant Superintendent, Superintendent, and Senior Superintendent; at which rank he retired on Friday.

Truck loaded with stone slips into Essequibo River

By Leroy Smith THE loading of goods, boarding of vehicles and people were brought to a grinding halt for about five hours yesterday morning after a truck contracted to the Ministry of Public Works slipped off a makeshift bridge and was partly submerged in the Essequibo River at the Parika Stelling. The Truck GMM 3472 is privately owned and was at the time ferrying seven tons of stones to Bartica to

execute roadwork. The driver of the vehicle who did not give his name told the Guyana Chronicle that he was attempting to make his way up onto the vessel Makouria which is operated by the Transport and Harbours Department (T&HD) and which was loading to depart for Bartica. He explained that it was just about 06.00hrs and the planks which are usually positioned to facilitate the moving on and off of vehicles to the vessels was wet and caused the front wheel of the

truck, which was inches away from entering the vessel, to slip off the plank and become partly submerged. Prior to the incident there were less than ten people on the vessel and they were later seen coming off the vessel with the assistance from T&HD employees. Immediately after the

truck encountered the difficulty, persons in the area anchored the truck to one of the huge beams of the stelling and another truck to prevent it from shifting further into the river. The Ministry of Public Works then employed the use of one of its excavators to position the stone from the

tray of the truck more to the back so as to ease the strain on the front of the truck. Following that move, there was some difficulty getting the truck from the position it found itself in but after some enduring efforts the truck was finally brought out of its position and the loading and boarding of the

vessel continued, marking a very lengthy delay from the original departure time of the boat. No one was injured as a result of the incident but there was some amount of damage to the front of the truck. The driver could not say if the vehicle was insured.

Prosecution closes case in Police unearth ammo at Abary Longden St. murder trial Creek house - defence begins address on Monday

By George Barclay THE prosecution in the Longden Street murder t r i a l o f a c c u s e d To n y Collymore closed its case on Friday after four witnesses had testified. Led by Attorney-atlaw Mr. Euclin Gomes, the defence will begin its case on Monday morning before Justice Franklyn Holder and a mixed jury. Tony Collymore is facing trial for the alleged murder of plantain chips vendor Jermain Simon, who was reportedly stabbed to death following a clash between them on August 2nd, 2012. Police Constable Jevon Thomas, who assisted in investigating the matter, testified that the accused

was handed over to him at the Georgetown Hospital b y Wo m a n P o l i c e C p l Griffith on August 1st, 2012. He said that, at the time of the handing over, the accused was suffering from a wound in his left rib area, which he said was hurting. Witness went on to say that he asked the accused how he sustained such a wound, and the accused told him that he was selling clothes in New Market Street when a man named Jermain asked him the price for a pants. He told Jermain to move, and this led to Jermain drawing an ice pick from his pocket and stabbing him, and the accused said he took away the ice pick from

Jermaine and stabbed him in retaliation. Constable Thomas said he realised that the accused needed medical attention, so he took him to the emergency section of the Georgetown Hospital, where he was seen and examined by a doctor. Another witness who gave evidence yesterday was Pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh, who had performed the post-mortem on the body of Jermain Simon. The doctor said Simon had died from shock and haemorrhage due to multiple stab wounds to his head, chest and forearm. The doctor told Prosecutrix Miss Diana Kaulesar that an instrument like an ice pick

could have been used to inflict the circular injuries on the deceased, but under cross-examination from defence counsel Euclin Gomes, Dr. Singh said it was possible for the injuries to have been inflicted from a fall if the objects were in a fixed position and the body was thrust on them.

BRHA boosted by seven new doctors By Michael Khan

THE Berbice Regional Health Authority (BRHA) will soon benefit from the services of seven doctors, who recently completed their one-year internship after undergoing six years of medical training in Cuba. The batch was described as the ‘best ever’ group that was mentored by Dr. Javiar Lopez, a Cuban national, that is tasked with the responsibility of ensuring that graduate doctors undergo practical training,

after completing their course of studies. A simple but significant graduation ceremony was held in the boardroom of the BRHA on Wednesday July 16, where Dr. Andy Walcott was declared as the valedictorian. Chief Executive Officer (C.E.O) of the BRHA, Dr. Vishwa Mahadeo delivered the charge to the graduates and, reminded them of their responsibility of serving the people of Guyana. “You are not doctors as yet ..... theoretically - yes, but

practically you are not equipped to deal with real situations,” he told the group, while adding: “Your best tutors right now, are the hospital matron, senior nurses and, laboratory technicians ...... observe carefully and learn from them; never be afraid to ask questions because dealing with human lives is not a part of your training .... it is a real situation that requires real tactics.” The C.E.O also reminded the batch that they have an obligation to render wholehearted service to the nation since it

was the Government of Guyana, under former President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo who struck an agreement with his Cuban counterparts, in ensuring that over 500 persons obtain scholarships to study medicine. “Do of your best and do so respectfully, many of you attained success as a result of the efforts of the people (Government) who have confidence in you and, now it is

your turn to humbly return the favour,” he implored. FOREVER GRATEFUL Dr. Walcott during his valedictory speech, thanked the Government of Guyana for granting them the opportunity of studying in Cuba while receiving a stipend and, pledged his full commitment in serving his country. “We are forever grateful for being awarded scholarships.

It was not an easy task for us by any means but, we set our goals and we achieved them,” he informed. The other graduates are: Alicia Subramanie, Sonya Lord, Melissa Towler, Nandy Benons, Matoya Cort and, Nyron Sugrim. The doctors will assume duties across the county of Berbice during the month of September.

Friendly Environmental Advice for Children HELLO boys and girls, parents and guardians, the August holidays are upon us, this week we would like to talk to you about some simple things that you can do while you are at home to help save the environment.

• Conserve water As you wash your fruits and veggies why not collect water in a container and use this water to wash your vegetables instead of leaving the tap running. While you brush your teeth please remember to turn the tap off and ensure it is turned off completely after washing hands. Climate change has made the rainy season unpredictable, so setting a container to collect water which can later be used for watering plants, cleaning stairs, washing your bicycle etc. is another great way to conserve on water; and it helps your parents to keep the water bill down.

• Conserving energy You may find the heat a bit distracting but instead of using the fan why not open up the windows at home? Maybe some play time in the back yard will also help you to forget about the heat. Turning off lights and unplugging equipment and appliances such as the computer and television, when not in use, is another great way to use less energy. Playing board games, reading, visiting family, and going to the park or other fun traditional activities are ways to pass the time during the day instead of hours spent on the computer. Also, take the opportunity to plant a tree, trees help alot in energy saving by providing shade and helping to keep the place cool.

• Have you ever heard about Composting? Well this is a great way to fertilise the earth; you can help to make the soil in your back yard richer by helping your parents to compost. Here’s what you do: Separate all the fruit and vegetable peelings, egg shells, used tea bags, coffee grains and place them in a special container or in a specific part of your yard., Ensure it has enough space for air to circulate, as you continue adding more and more green and brown waste to your compost heap watch as the magic beings, earth worms and other bugs will help to breakdown the material. Soon you will have the richest fertiliser ever which can be used to help start your very own kitchen or flower garden. See page 27

The Environmental Health Department is conducting routine inspections at food shops, groceries and supermarkets as there is a prevalence in the discovery of expired and tampered products. Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle, Municipal Health Inspector Ackloo Ramsudh said that his Department is working to rid shelves of unwholesome goods but, the trend among many

business entities continues to blossom. “I am appalled at the callous behaviour of some businessmen in the township and, I want to think that many of them do not have respect for the laws (Ch. 16:01) ..... if they had any regards for the consuming public, they would cease such practices,” he asserted. Ramsudh said that the officers within his Department have had reasons to revisit particular outlets and, seize several expired goods and products on display with tampered labels. “In this age, one would have thought that entrepreneurs would respect the poor and average man, who support their businesses, by showing some sort of compassion by doing bargain sales on

A quantity of recently seized edible items from N/A businesses products, prior to their expiry,” he alluded. This publication was shown several products including: nut butter, canned milk, biscuits, jam, mayonnaise and, confectionery; that were confiscated from entities across the township, where evidence of expiry were visible. The Municipal Health Inspector said that this ‘barefaced’ conduct of food dealers will be minimised greatly

this year, but the public also needs to be vigilant and take note of what they purchase, he added: “Every consumer has the right to thoroughly examine the labels of the edible products that are purchased and, if anyone is displeased with what they are seeing, then they need to start asking questions ....... they also have to report these matters (to the Environmental Health Department).”

Santokie and Guptil power Trent Bridge pitch Amazon Warriors to win number 3 rated ‘poor’ by ICC -face Tallawahs this afternoon match referee

By Calvin Roberts

IMPRESSIVE left arm swing bowling from Man of the Match Krishmar Santokie, backed by an authoritative innings from Martin Guptil, the Guyana Amazon Warriors came away with a comfortable nine wicket victory over St. Lucia Zouks at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence last night. Winning the toss for the third successive time, Denesh Ramdin had no hesitation in asking the Darren Sammy led Zouks to take first strike, a move that paid dividend as he reduced them to 80 for 8 in the 16th over, before they rallied to 117 all out off 19.2 overs. This was due mainly to some pugnacious hitting from Sohail Tanvir 32 (24balls, 3x4; 1x6) and a brisk 21 from Mervin Matthew (11balls, 2x6, 1x4), as Santokie who ended with 4 for 11 and Sunil Narine 2 for 21 combined to dismissed the opposition. Guptil, who stroked an unbeaten 50 (47balls 3x6, 2x4) and Lendl Simmons (32) posted 77 for the first wicket before Sammy bowled Simmons with the first delivery of the 10th over, enabling Guptil and Hafeez (17*) to score the remaining 41 runs from 5.5 overs, to see their team home with Guptil ending the contest with his third six over long off, off the bowling of Tanvir. Earlier in the contest and with the spectators streaming

in, especially in the mound stand, the home team rocked their opponent’s batting line up, sending back Henry Davids (04), Andre Fletcher (04 and Johnson Charles (13, 2x4), to be 29 for 3 after six overs. The demise of Keddy Lesporis (11), who was run out by the full length of the pitch, thanks to an alert Guptil, whose return from midwicket was accurate to Hafeez, did little to the Zouks’ cause as they were 34 for 4. A tricky shot for four to third man from Sunil Ambris (13) off Narine posted the 50 for the Zouks in the ninth over, but they slipped further into oblivion shortly after to be 58 for 6, losing Roelef van Der Merwe (06) and Sammy (02). Ta n v i r a n d A m b r i s pushed the score to 79 before Jimmy Neesham bowled Ambris, but Tanvir in partnership with Matthew, continued to fight back for his team, hitting Neesham for six, before Guptil held a well-judged catch low down to his ankle coming in from deep midwicket, to remove Tanvir. Beaton was entrusted with the penultimate over, one that saw Matthew hitting him for two sixes back over his head to push the score past the 100 run mark, before Santokie wrapped up the innings when he induced Matthew to pick out Guptil at midwicket, with four balls to go in the final over. Unlike their partnership against the Red Steel when

chasing a similar target, Simmons and Guptil settled in to post 77 for the first wicket, with Guptil hitting Tino Best over long on for six, followed by a four through midwicket off the next delivery. Sammy replaced Best with Matthew and Guptil welcomed him into the attack, with a six back over his head which was estimated to travel a distance of 85metres, whilst Simmons ended the same over, the fifth of his team’s innings with two fours to push the score to 42. A six from Simmons off Shane Shillingford raised the 50 for the Amazon Warriors in the sixth over, while Sammy thought he saw enough

and introduced himself into the attack, removing Simmons with his first ball. Guptil continued to soldier on in partnership with Hafeez, posting the 100 by pulling a short ball from Tanvir through midwicket for his second four in the 14th over and fittingly finished the game with his third six over long off, this time off Tanvir. The action will continue this afternoon at the same venue, when the Amazon Warriors who lead the points table with six points from their three victories to date, face the defending champions Jamaica Tallawahs from 16:00hrs.

ICC match Referee David Boon.` THE Trent Bridge pitch for the first Test between England and India earlier this month has been rated “poor” by the International Cricket Council. (ICC) A total of 1,344 runs were scored as the Test was drawn, and match referee David Boon “expressed concerns over the quality of the pitch”. The England and Wales Cricket Board has 14 days to respond to the report. It is the first time since regulations came in four years ago that an English Test match pitch has been rated poor. ICC general manager Geoff Allardice and chief match referee Ranjan Madugalle “will consider all the evidence” after the ECB submits its response and then decide if a penalty needs to be imposed. In a joint statement, the ECB and Nottinghamshire Cricket Club said they were “already working closely to address the uncharacteristic nature of the pitch” and planning “corrective action”. BBC Sport’s Pat Murphy described the rating as “a bit of a black mark against Trent Bridge”. He added: “Next year’s Ashes Test match at Trent Bridge is not in danger but if they transgress again in the next five years it could be

serious.” The Trent Bridge pitch was so unresponsive that some balls were bouncing twice before reaching the wicketkeeper, said BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew after the first day’s play in Nottingham. If a pitch is rated poor the penalty on the first occasion is a warning and/or a fine of up to $15,000 (£8,800) along with a directive for corrective action. On second and subsequent occasions, within five years of the first report, a fine not exceeding $30,000 (£17,500) is handed along with a directive. The Test ran to five days, during which time India scored 457 and 391-9 declared while England amassed 496 in their only innings. The match witnessed two 10th-wicket century stands including James Anderson and Joe Root’s world-record 198 for England. The ICC has six categories for rating Test match pitches: very good, good, above average, below average, poor and unfit. Only two other Test venues - St Kitts in the West Indies and Galle in Sri Lanka - have been described as having poor pitches by the ICC since the Pitch and Outfield Monitoring Process began in 2010.

Vijay stays defiant as India look to build lead By Josh Reich LONDON, (Reuters) - A defiant half-century by opener Murali Vijay kept alive India’s hopes of setting England a tough fourth-innings chase in a tense second Test at Lord’s yesterday. The second match of the five-test series remains finely poised heading into Sunday’s fourth day, the visitors finishing at 169 for four. Vijay (59) and Mahendra Singh Dhoni (12) will resume on Sunday with India 145 runs ahead with six second-innings wickets left as they aim to extend England’s run without a test victory to 10 matches and go 1-0 up in the series. Having taken a 24-run lead, England bowled with greater accuracy than in India’s first innings, when they wasted their advantage on a green-tinged pitch that is now showing a touch of variable bounce. After getting rid of Shikhar Dhawan before tea, England’s four-strong seam

attack had shown signs of tiredness on a warm London afternoon, having bowled a combined 222 overs on a dead pitch in the drawn first test at Trent Bridge. That surface was so poor it has since been reported to the International Cricket Council (ICC) by match referee David Boon. J u s t a s Vi j a y a n d Cheteshwar Pujara started to look set, however, a double strike by Liam Plunkett injected some much-needed life into the England side. First he had Pujara (43) feather an edge through to Matt Prior, before moving the next ball in off the pitch, hitting Virat Kohli’s stumps with the batsman not playing a shot. Next to go was firstinnings centurion Ajinkya Rahane, given out caught by Prior off Stuart Broad on five despite the ball hitting his arm-guard, the third wicket to fall in the space of five runs. VIJAY STEADY While Vijay continued to look steady at one end,

Bhuvneshwar Kumar picked up six wickets for India on the third day, of the Lord’s Test. captain Dhoni rode his luck, surviving two lbw shouts from Plunkett in one over as he insisted on playing as few balls as possible. Vijay passed 50 off 162 balls, while Dhoni knuckled down to offer the opener valuable support as India aim for a lead of at least 300. “Overall I think it’s evenly balanced, but what we need to do is really bat well tomorrow and we need somewhere near 300 runs on the board and then get them out,” Pujara told reporters. “The wicket has started

deteriorating a bit, we have seen variable bounce on the wicket, so we are very confident we can get them out. “First thing is, bat well tomorrow.” Earlier Plunkett’s maiden test half-century helped England add 100 runs to their overnight total, their first innings eventually ending on 319. After Gary Ballance’s second Test century on Friday, nightwatchman Plunkett provided the main resistance, reaching his halfcentury off 75 balls on his way to an unbeaten 55.

India’s Bhuvneshwar Kumar claimed career-best bowling figures of 6-82. “I take pride in my batting, I love to bat, I started in the juniors as a batsman mainly,” Plunkett said. “I still work hard on it, it’s always nice to get a test 50 and obviously runs at the end have been crucial, as Jimmy (Anderson) showed last game, so to get a partnership at the end past their

score was a good feeling.” He acknowledged the importance of his double breakthrough midway through the final session, just as India looked to be gaining the upper hand. “I felt in good rhythm, obviously I got my lengths wrong first innings. It started to swing and it was good to get them two wickets in two balls,” he said.

Sangakkara leads Sri Lanka’s spirited chase …Sri Lanka need 260 runs for victory on final day (REUTERS) - Kumar Sangakkara remained unbeaten after a sparkling half-century as Sri Lanka responded well to the challenge of scoring 370 runs in four sessions in order to win the first test against South Africa yesterday. Sangakkara (58 not out) and Kaushal Silva (37 not out) forged an unfinished second wicket partnership of 96 runs to power the hosts to a strong 110 for one by the close of the fourth day’s play. Opener Upul Tharanga (14) began on a positive note before throwing his bat at a ball to edge Dale Steyn and perish caught behind. Sangakkara joined Silva and went onto complete his 49th Test fifty off 66 balls with seven fours and one six. Sri Lanka need to score 260 runs on the final day with

nine wickets in hand to take lead in the two-Test series. “It’s a challenging total. A team hasn’t gone pass 300 in the fourth innings at this venue but we’ve got a team inside the dressing room who’re willing to fight, that I can guarantee you,” Sri Lanka head coach Marvan Atapattu told reporters. “We’re aiming to get the amount of runs but we’ll fight to get through the first session tomorrow and see where we’ll be placed. “In the last few months the thing we’ve learned is that we don’t go down without a fight. “The team atmosphere and environment that we have is: If we want to make a change, we have to fight from any situation. “That has been inculcated to the dressing room and to the system, and people have started believing in it.”

Kumar Sangakkara South Africa’s coach Russel Domingo said his team would have been more comfortable if they had Sri Lanka three down overnight. “We probably didn’t bowl as well as we could have. We felt we need 110-120 overs

in the last innings,” he said. “They are right in the match but so are we. It’s set up for a cracker of a day tomorrow.” BRISK DE VILLIERS 50 A brisk half-century from AB de Villiers put South

Africa in position to declare their second innings on 206 for six wickets at tea. De Villiers’ struck 51 off 58 balls on a turning pitch as the tourists added a swift 143 runs in the second session for the loss of four wickets. JP Duminy was at the wicket unbeaten on eight at the declaration having lost Quinton de Kock in the last over before the break for 36. De Kock, beaten by the flight, hit back a return catch to offspinner Dilruwan Perera. Perera also accounted for the wickets of Hashim Amla for 22 and De Villiers to finish the innings with figures of four for 79. Amla hit a catch to short mid-on when he flicked Perera off his legs and De Villiers played the ball onto his stumps as he attempted to pull a delivery. Left-arm spinner Rangana Herath picked up the other wicket to fall in the session, bowling Faf du Plessis for 37 with a delivery that pitched outside leg stump

and flicked his off bail. Herath also grabbed the wicket of first innings century-maker Dean Elgar for 12 in the morning session when the opening batsman nicked one to Dinesh Chandimal as he attempted a drive. Alviro Petersen was next to go for 32 shortly before lunch when he hit a thin edge to Chandimal off Perera’s bowling. The South African batsman was unsuccessful in his challenge of the call. Earlier in the morning, the tourists made quick work of Sri Lanka’s final pair with Herath’s 132 minute resistance finally ended by Morne Morkel, who got him to edge a catch to De Villiers at second slip for 19. Shaminda Eranga, batting with some pain after needing eight stitches in his right hand, was left unbeaten on one. Steyn finished with figures of five for 54 and Morkel had three for 49 as the hosts were limited to 292 all out.

Nibali extends lead as Majka wins 14th Tour de France stage Vincenzo Nibali further tightened his grip as Tour de France race leader after finishing second on stage 14’s summit finish behind Rafal Majka. The Italian finished 24 seconds adrift of Polish rider Majka, who recorded his first stage win on his debut Tour. Nibali extended his lead over second-placed Spaniard Alejandro Valverde to four minutes, 37 seconds. British duo Geraint Thomas and Simon Yates were in a break that was caught on the final climb to Risoul. Team Sky principal Sir Dave Brailsford indicated after Friday’s stage, when their lead rider Richie Porte dropped out of contention, that the rest of the squad would look to “animate the race” in the remaining eight stages. Thomas and team-mate Mikel Nieve responded to his words at the first opportunity by getting involved in a 17-man break, which also contained Orica GreenEdge rider Yates, at the start of Saturday’s second and final day in the Alps. Race leader Nibali was content to sit in the peloton, being led by his Astana team-mates, as they allowed the break to build up an advantage of more than five minutes ascending the first of the day’s three categorised climbs, the 34km

Rafal Majka Col du Lautaret. The breakaway group’s advantage was cut to three minutes as they reached the summit of the day’s toughest climb, the Col d’Izoard. Spain’s Joaquim Rodriguez, second in the King of the Mountains classification behind Nibali but wearing the polka dot jersey because the race leader always wears yellow, was first over the top to collect 25 points and win the Souvenir Henri Desgrange - the prize awarded to the first man to reach the highest point in the race, at 2,360m. The points, added to the

10 he collected for being first up the Col du Lautaret, lifted Rodriguez to the top of the mountain classification, despite him falling away on the last ascent to Risoul. Thomas, who put in a tremendous amount of work leading the breakaway, trying to set up his team-mate Nieve, also found the going tough on the 12.6km climb to the finish and was passed by Nibali and Valverde among others. Majka, one of the 17 riders to make the initial break, kicked on though and managed to hold off the fast-finishing Nibali to take a first

stage win, in a reverse of Friday’s result on stage 13. He dedicated his win to injured Tinkoff-Saxo teammate Alberto Contador, who crashed out of the race on stage 10. “This is a victory for Alberto because we came here trying to win the Tour for him,” said the 24-year-old Pole. “This is my first victory and maybe it’s not finished. If I can get in another long breakaway I can try to win another stage.” Nibali may well have the Tour all but won, but the race for the minor places is wide open with the four riders below Valverde within 91 seconds of second. Romain Bardet consolidated his position in third place, despite finishing behind fellow Frenchman Thibaut Pinot, who is fourth. The duo are battling for a place on the podium in Paris and the white jersey as the quickest rider under the age of 25. AG2R rider Bardet leads FDJ’s Pinot by just 16 seconds, while their compatriot Jean-Christophe Peraud is a minute further back. Between them is American BMC rider Tejay van Garderen. Today’s 15th stage is a 222km largely flat race from Tallard to Nimes, which is expected to end in a bunch sprint. (BBC Sport)

Dunga is favorite to coach Brazil’s soccer team: sources By Rodrigo Viga Gaier RIO DE JANEIRO,(Reuters) Former World Cup winning captain Dunga is the favorite on a short list of candidates to coach Brazil’s national soccer team, two sources with direct knowledge of the situation said on Friday. Dunga, whose real name is Carlos Bledorn Verri, previously coached Brazil from 2006 to 2010, where he won the 2007 Copa America and the 2009 Confederations Cup. He was fired by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) after losing to the Netherlands in the quarter-finals of the 2010 World Cup.

Carlos Bledorn Verriv aka Dunga One source, who declined to be identified since the process is underway, said Dunga has a good relationship with Gilmar Rinaldi, who was named on Thursday as general manager for Brazil’s

national teams. Both players were part of the 1994 World Cup winning team. The CBF and Dunga, 50, began talks early this week, a second source said. “He is the front runner in the list and things are moving forward satisfactorily,” a second source told Reuters. “There were important meetings that took place in São Paulo, and Gilmar is fine-tuning details already.” A new coach to replace Luiz Felipe Scolari is expected to be named next Tuesday. Scolari, who guided Brazil to their fifth World Cup title in 2002, resigned as coach after the 2014 tournament where the hosts

entered as hot favorites but finished fourth. They were also humiliated by eventual champions Germany 7-1 in the semi-finals and then lost the third-place playoff 3-0 to the Netherlands. Both sources dismissed recent local media reports that Tite, who led Corinthians to the World Club Championship in 2012, and Sao Paulo manager Muricy Ramalho were front runners for the job. Dunga’s last job was as coach of Internacional, where he spent a great part of his playing career, but was sacked last October after a fourth successive loss in the Brazilian league that left them mid-table.

Flower vows to make Pakistan batsmen more consistent KARACHI, (Reuters) Pakistan’s new batting coach Grant Flower has termed his new assignment as the biggest challenge of his coaching career and is hopeful of making the batsmen more consistent. The former Zimbabwe batsman told reporters in Lahore that he took up the assignment only because he believed he could make a difference to the Pakistan team known for their unpredictability. “It is the biggest challenge of my coaching career coming to a different environment and working with players with a different cricketing approach. What attracted me to the job was the immense talent these players possess and how much they can improve,” Flower said. The younger brother of former Test batsman Andy Flower, who coached England with considerable success, said his main job would be to ready the Pakistani players for the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand next year. “These players are used to working with foreign coaches so communication will not be a problem. I just feel these players can do much more with their talent,” he said.

Pakistan coach Grant Flower Flower said some of the players threw away good starts and he wanted to change that. “Bringing consistency and discipline to their batting is my primary task.” The former batsman who played 67 tests and 221 oneday internationals admitted he had some apprehensions after the terror attack at the Karachi airport last month. “They were apprehensions but (former Pakistan spinner) Mushtaq (Ahmed) spoke to Andy and myself and the Pakistan board was also in touch with me and I was comfortable coming here.”

Williams burst guides Zimbabwe to easy Afghan win B U L AWAY O , Zimbabwe (Reuters) - - A quick-fire 70 at more than a run-a-ball from Sean Williams lifted Zimbabwe to a comfortable six-wicket win over Afghanistan in the first one-day international at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo Friday. Williams, who blasted eight fours and a six off his 65 balls, fell just before the target of 224 was reached by the home side as they raced to victory with 28 balls to spare in the first ever meeting between the two nations. Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to field, restricting their tourists to 223 for nine in their 50 overs, with Samiullah

Shenwari top-scoring for the visitors with a patient 65 from 85 balls. Captain Mohammad Nabi (55) and opener Noor Ali Zadran (43) also made good contributions, but the Afghans were not helped by three run-outs in their innings. Pick of the home bowlers was seamer Tendai Chatara who collected two for 37 in his eight overs. Zimbabwe were always up with the run rate and besides Williams, captain Brandon Taylor chipped in with 43 and opener Sikandar Raza 42 not out after he had left the field retired hurt, only to return later in the innings. The second match is at the same venue today..

Bolt, Farah headline cast at Glasgow Commonwealths By Sam Holden and Michael Hann LONDON,(Reuters) Olympic champions Usain Bolt and Mo Farah lead a cast of the world’s leading athletes descending on Glasgow to compete in the Commonwealth Games starting in Scotland’s biggest city on Wednesday. World-record holders, decorated Olympians and novice participants make up the 6,500 athletes representing 70 Commonwealth nations who share the aim of claiming prizes in 261 medal events in 17 sports. Scotland hosts the 20th

edition of the multi-sport event for the third time and instead of trying to emulate the success of the London 2012 Olympic Games, it will offer something quite different over 11 days of competition. Although the Games may not be held in the same regard as the Olympics or a world championship without superpowers such as the United States, China and Russia, there will be plenty of household names and fairytale stories. Six-times Olympic gold medalist Bolt will bring a dose of showmanship to the Hampden Park running track

Youth and experience in van Gaal’s first squad (REUTERS) - Louis van Gaal’s pledge to assess all of Manchester United’s first team players is apparent after the new man in charge announced a bumper 25-man squad yesterday for the club’s tour to the United States. van Gaal, who arrived at Old Trafford this week after guiding the Netherlands to an impressive third place in the World Cup, named a number of fringe players and youngsters in his first squad as well as new

big-money signings Ander Herrera from Athletic Bilbao and Luke Shaw from Southampton. Ashley Young, Wilfried Zaha and Shinji Kagawa make the trip alongside 20-year-old defenders Tyler Blackett and Reece James as well as 21-year-old twins Will Keane, a striker, and brother Michael, a defender.

England’s double Olympic and world champion Farah, who is fit to take part in the 5,000m and 10,000m after recovering from abdominal pains, will join Bolt in Glasgow and the pair will be hoping to perform their customary ‘lightning bolt’ and ‘Mobot’ celebrations. “The Commonwealth Games is different from the Olympics,” the 31-year-old Farah said. “In terms of which countries are involved, you have everyone at the Olympics so it’s not going to be the same, but at the same time it’s another title. “I’m very excited to compete for England and go out there.” David Rudisha, Kenya’s Olympic 800 meters champion and world record holder, will return to Glasgow after romping to victory at the Diamond League meeting last week and New Zealand’s Olympic and world shot put champion Valerie Adams remains unbeaten in her last 53

Dr. Steve Surujbally to provide tennis umpire training session today Dr. Steve Surujbally is well known as the GECOM Commissioner but he is also an avid veteran tennis player and great fan of the sport. As a member of the tennis fraternity, he has offered to pass on his knowledge of the game to the younger generation by providing a one-day training session for Tennis Umpiring for the Guyana Tennis Association. In the game of tennis, a prominent element of competition is making fair calls and giving the benefit of the doubt to your opponent. This is the way that players should be thinking especially in a sport where trained umpires are no longer easily secured in abundance for tournaments. In matches

where a higher level of tennis is being played with more powerful strokes, players sometimes take strong positions in defence of what they perceive as an ‘in’ ball in their favour or an ‘out’ ball played by their opponent. This dialogue can be the spoiler for a high quality match with no umpire where a player is not willing to concede where often their behaviour degenerates into one of bad taste. So says GTA President Grace McCalman who intends to enhance discipline among players who are serious about their personal development. If players are made aware of what is expected when they play with or without an umpire, then greater sportsmanship will prevail.

Dr. Steve Surujbally

With this in mind, she approached Dr. Surujbally who readily agreed to conduct the session. He is the most qualified tennis umpire currently residing in Guyana having umpired for decades in several ITF Davis Cup and other Regional Tournaments as well as National Tournament Finals. Surujbally’s love for the game has kept him up-to-date with the progression of the rules of tennis over the years. The session will be conducted today at the National Racquet Centre from 09:00hrs to 13:00hrs and twenty-five candidates including executive members are expected to participate in the theoretical and practical exercises.

competitions. HOME FAVOURITE Australia is expected to dominate the swimming with the likes of Cate Campbell, Christian Sprenger and James Magnussen, but home favorite Michael Jamieson will receive st ong support in his bid to become the 200 meters breaststroke champion. South African Chad Le Clos, who beat the great Michael Phelps to Olympic gold in the men’s 200 meters butterfly in London two years ago, will also try to add to the five Commonwealth medals he won in New Delhi four years ago. “Hopefully, I can get one or two gold medals,” Le Clos said. “I’m hoping to do better than I did four years ago. “It’s not quite like the Olympic Games or the world championships where it’s the best in the world. It’s still going be tough having the Aussies, the Brits, and the Canadians there. At cycling’s Velodrome, named after Scotland’s six– times Olympic champion Chris Hoy, England possesses a strong team and Hoy’s former sprint partner Jason Kenny is the man to beat in the individual sprint, while 2012 Tour de France champion Bradley Wiggins takes part in the time trial. But for all the talk surrounding the likes of Bolt and Farah, the Games also provides a platform for athletes from the lesser-known sports

to make their name. Squash is not recognised as an Olympic event and was rejected in favor of retaining wrestling at the 2020 and 2024 Games, meaning medals in Glasgow are the top prize for international competitors. England’s three-times world champion Nick Matthew, who won the men’s singles and doubles titles in New Delhi, is the top seed in Glasgow and Malaysia’s defending champion Nicol David leads the women’s draw. The integration of disability sports into the able-bodied program ensures that the some of the world’s best athletes, regardless of classification, will be given equal billing. Glasgow 2014 is a far cry from the Games that were held four years ago in New Delhi. The Indian hosts were dogged by preparation and security issues whereas the Scottish organizers’ main concern will be the reliability of the British weather. Whatever the conditions, the historic Celtic Park, home of former European Cup soccer winners Celtic, hosts the opening ceremony on Wednesday before the competition sprawls across the city, taking in venues mirroring the diversity of the events. It all culminates in the finale at Hampden Park on Aug. 3 but not before some familiar faces, along with a few new ones, have made their mark.

McIlroy teases rivals for Open, then storms clear By Martyn Herman HOYLAKE England, (Reuters) - Rory McIlroy left the door invitingly ajar for a charging pack led by Rickie Fowler and Sergio Garcia before slamming it shut with a dazzling finish yesterday to lead the Open by six strokes with one round left. The Northern Irishman began the day four shots clear of Dustin Johnson, was reeled in by inspired American Fowler after 12 holes, but magnificent eagles at the 16th and 18th saw him disappear over the horizon with a 16-under-par total of 200 at a rain-soaked Royal Liverpool course. It is 50 years since a player went into the fourth round of the Open with a bigger lead, on that occasion Tony Lema taking a seven-stroke advantage into Sunday at St Andrews in 1964. Yet for much of the third round on a links course softened to perfection by stormy weather, McIlroy seemed in real danger of missing out on his fair share of the birdie feast which allowed 17 players to shoot sub-70 rounds and 35 to break par. After 13 holes he was level par for the day and, with dark clouds brewing overhead, Fowler was breathing down his neck.

He responded with an incredible 3-3-3-3-5-3 climax to move clear and only an extraordinary turnaround today can prevent him completing a first Open triumph to add to the U.S. Open and U.S PGA titles he won in 2011 and 2012 respectively. “I was conscious that Rickie was getting a little closer or Sergio or whoever it was,” McIlroy, who would break threetimes winner Tiger Woods’s Open record of 19 under (set in 2000) with a round 68 or lower on Sunday, told reporters. “But it was nice to be able to come up with the goods when I needed them the last few holes.” Should he close the deal today, the 25-year-old McIlroy will have completed three legs of the career slam on Sunday, leaving just the Masters title missing from his collection. “I’d be in pretty illustrious company,” he added. “So not getting ahead of ourselves, here, but yeah, it would mean an awful lot. I didn’t think that I’d even have the chance at 25 to go for three legs of the Grand Slam. So I’m going to try to put all of that out of my head.” Like McIlroy, Fowler also carded a four-under 68 but three bogeys over the closing five holes left him ruing what might have been as he chases a first major title.

Anderson/Jadeja hearing to be held after second Test LONDON, England (Reuters) An initial hearing into an incident involving England quick bowler James Anderson and India’s Ravindra Jadeja during last week’s drawn first Test in Nottingham will be held on Tuesday, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced. Anderson is said to have “abused and pushed” the Indian spinner during the match at Trent Bridge and has been charged with a level three misconduct offence, which could see him banned for up to four Test matches. Jadeja has been charged with a level two offence after being accused of approaching Anderson in a threatening manner, which could see him lose his entire match fee or be banned for one Test. Gordon Lewis, Australia’s representative on the ICC’s Code of Conduct Commission, will act as the commissioner. A preliminary hearing will be held by telephone on July 22, the day after the ongoing second Test at Lord’s is scheduled to end, before a date for a full hearing is set.

“If I’m able to go out and get off to a good start, maybe I can put a little bit of pressure on him,” Fowler, who will play alongside McIlroy in the final round, said. “He’s definitely in control of the tournament right now.” Spaniard Garcia, who hit back from a poor start in

which he found two greenside bunkers at the first, is seven shots adrift in a tie for third place with Johnson after a round of 69. Frenchman Victor Dubuisson is on eight under. Darren Clarke, the 2011 champion, fired the day’s joint best round of 67 but three-times winner Tiger Woods, who started on the 10th along with half the field, was wallowing in a distant 58th place at three over par after a rusty 73. Last year ’s champion Phil Mickelson fared slightly better than his old sparring partner with a one-under 71 but his hopes of retaining the title are over. McIlroy looked anxious early on, finding sand with his second shot at the first and then missing a par putt after an under-cooked bunker shot. HEART RACING His heart was racing at the second when he badly misjudged a birdie putt and left himself an awkward return which he holed. A birdie at the par-five fifth got him back to level par for the day but he was in trouble after driving into deep sodden rough at the long par-four seventh. After chopping out sideways to the fairway he pitched into the green and rattled in a

brave 15-foot par putt to put distance between himself and Johnson, who bogeyed. With Fowler snapping at his heels McIlroy was unable to make another birdie until the par-four 11th, only to hand back a shot at the next hole after finding the rough off the tee. The 14th proved crucial. Shortly after Fowler, playing in the group ahead along with Garcia, got into trouble at the 454-yard parfour and dropped a shot, McIlroy fired in a laser-like 30-foot birdie putt and from then the shackles came off. Sensing the perfect moment to strike a hammer blow on his rivals, he attacked the remaining par-fives with relish, eagling the 16th and 18th to huge roars from the galleries. “It seemed like Sergio and Rickie sort of struggled down the stretch a little bit,” McIlroy said. “But that could have been a completely different story. Instead of a six-shot lead it could have been a one or two. A lot can happen.” Fowler, runner-up at the U.S. Open last month and fifth at the Masters, began with two birdies and picked up further shots on the fifth, sixth and 10th before rolling in a monster putt at the 11th to reach 11 under par. He had begun his round six

shots off the lead but another birdie at the 12th, together with a McIlroy bogey at the same hole put the two tyros level at the top of the leaderboard. Big-hitting Johnson began the day as McIlroy’s closest challenger and birdied the first after a stunning wedge approach to halve the deficit but his challenge faded as he leaked shots in the rain, eventually recovering his form to sign for a 71. The ever-popular Garcia, who has seven top-10 finishes at the Open but has never won a major, birdied the second, fifth, eighth and ninth to reach the turn in 32. A rather disappointing back nine left him needing a huge swing on Sunday if he is to end his long wait for a major. “If Rory plays the way he’s been playing, it’s difficult to see anybody catching him,” Garcia said. Play ended a few minutes before 4pm local time owing to the decision to start the players in groups of three from the first and 10th tees - a decision prompted by forecasts of torrential rain storms in the afternoon along the Liverpool coast. Thankfully the worst of the downpours arrived shortly after the finish of play and even if it returned on Sunday it surely will not rain on McIlroy’s parade.

WICB REGIONAL U-17

DCC duo lead Guyana’s batting and bowling aggregate By Calvin Roberts AT THE completion of intense action in this year’s West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Regional Under-17 tournament in Tobago, the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) pair of Shurfane Rutherford and Kemo Paul were Guyana’s leading batsman and bowler respectively. Rutherford, who two years ago transferred from the Camp Road-based Everest Cricket Club to DCC, known as the ‘Home of the Legends’, accumulated 168 runs at an average of 56.00, with a topscore of 79 not out against Trinidad and Tobago. Wicketkeeper/batsman Adrian Sukhwah, who has only played three games, finished second in the batsman column for Guyana, after he scored 144 runs from his three innings at an average of 48.00, with a topscore of 59 against Jamaica, a game that Guyana won by 139 runs. Paul, who is a useful customer with the bat, ended in third posi-

tion behind Rutherford and Sukhwah, after aggregating 116 runs at an average of 29.00 from his four innings, while skipper Travis Persaud and talented all-rounder Ronaldo Ali-Mohammed occupied the other two positions behind the top three, with their total runs being 99 and 78 respectively from four matches each. Overall, the Windward Islands, Anil Matthew topped the batting aggregates with 192 runs from his five matches at an average of 48.00 with a topscore of 83 not out and he was followed by Trinidad and Tobago’s Brandon Maharaj who has aggregated 188 runs from his five innings at an average of 47.00 . Brad Barnes of Jamaica, who has two runs less than Maharaj from the same number of innings at an average of 46.50, followed by Leeward Islands’ Kofi James who scored 183 runs from three innings at an average of 183.00 with a topscore of 103 not out against Guyana and Matthew’s teammate Emmanuel Stewart 178 from five

Shurfane Rutherford matches at an average of 35.60, occupied the top five positions in the batsman column. In the bowling department, Paul, who was selected as one of six Under-19 players in the Guyana Amazon Warriors lineup for this year’s Limacol Caribbean Premier League which bowled off last week Friday, has prized out 10 victims from his five matches at an average of 12.80. His best bowling figures to date, is the 4 for 28 he claimed

against Jamaica, while he has been bowling at an economy rate of 4.13 runs per over, with a strike rate that reads 20.30 runs per wicket and he is followed by Rutherford who has six victims from his four matches at an average of 16.00. Behind Paul and Rutherford are Richie Looknauth and AliMohammed who have both six and five wickets each, followed by Akini Adams and Persaud with three and two wickets each and even though Kelvin Shewprasad ended wicketless from the three matches he played, he has been economical conceding 40 runs from 10 overs at 4.00 runs per over. The leading wicket-taker in the tournament to date is Jamaica’s Michael Frew who has claimed 12 victims from his five matches at an average of 12.92, Dominic Drakes of Barbados (11), Paul, Jaidel Richardson (Leewards), Ryan John (Windwards) and Kirstan Kallicharran who claimed 10 victims.

Shoaib outshines Samuels to give Tridents first win NORTH SOUND, Antigua, (CMC) – Marlon Samuels stroked a classy half-century but was outshone by an equally fine one from Shoaib Malik, as Barbados Tridents beat Antigua Hawksbills by five wickets to post their first win in the new Caribbean Premier League campaign. The right-handed Samuels’s high quality 84 off 54 deliveries propelled the hosts up to 172 for six off their 20 overs after they were sent in at the Vivian Richards Cricket Ground. However, Shoaib responded with an intelligent 72 off 50 balls, to help guide the Tridents to a much welcome victory, with four balls left in the contest. The Pakistani right-hand-

arm quick Sheldon Cottrell which ended the game emphatically. Tridents were given a flying start by Smith and Shane Dowrich, the Barbadian pair adding 31 off just 15 balls for the first wicket. Dowrich, who made 17, cracked boundaries off the opener over from Cottrell and Smith added a six off the last ball, as the over bled 16 runs. In the next over from Samuels, Dowrich cleared long off but then perished in the following over, bowled by Cottrell after missing a swing. Tridents benefitted from a series of small partnerships after Shoaib arrived to hold the innings together in a superb knock. He put on 30 for the second wicket with Smith, 36 for the third wicket with Jeevan Mendis (16) and a further 45 for the fourth wicket with Pollard. Smith struck two fours and a six off 13 balls before he was brilliantly caught at third man by a diving Miguel Cummins off seamer Carlos Brathwaite, who was again the best bowler with two for 37. When Mendis, frustrated with the lack of scoring opportunities, scooped a simple catch to Cummins at mid-off off left-arm spinner Brad Hogg, the Tridents were 97 for three in the 12th over and in need of a lift. Shoaib came to the fore, striking four fours and four sixes and dominating his

partnership with Pollard. His first six sailed over long-on off Brathwaite and in the next over, he deposited Samuels’s off-spin over long off for his second. His third six over mid-wicket off seamer Ben Laughlin carried him to 49 and a couple off the next ball brought him his fifty. Pollard lashed two fours and a six off 15 balls before edging Brathwaite behind in the 17th over and when Shoaib was run out attempting a second run in the penultimate over with 16 still required, Hawksbills were still in with a chance. But Holder whacked the very next delivery over long off for six to ease the tension before finishing off the game just balls later. Earlier, Samuels ended a run of poor form to help Hawksbills post a challenging total. He counted seven fours and four sixes and shared 83 for the second wicket with Australian opener Ben Dunk who scored 33 from 28 balls, and a further 64 for the third wicket with another Aussie, David Hussey, who smashed 32 from 16 deliveries. Once Samuels holed out to long-off off fast bowler Ravi Rampaul at the start of the 19th over, Hawksbills lost four wickets for just nine runs as the innings ran out of steam Rampaul picked up four for 32.

Guyana cops stunning tenth consecutive CASA Junior Championships team title Winning both the girls and boys category titles, the Guyana national junior squash team defended their title and won their tenth consecutive Caribbean title at the Caribbean Area Squash Association (CASA) Junior Championships, yesterday, when the competition concluded in Hamilton, Bermuda. In another unprecedented achievement the girls’ team collected their ninth consecutive win of the girls’ team title when they went head to head against Trinidad and Tobago’s team, while the boys’ team registered their 16th title win in the competition’s history. The boys battled it out against Jamaica. It was girls’ Under-17 player Taylor Fernandes who got the ball rolling when she dominated against Marion Gillezeau in a straight set win. Replacing an injured Larissa Wiltshire, who was out due to injury, a confident Fernandes ousted Gillezeau 11-9, 11 -5, 11 – 3. Victoria Arjoon was up next against Marie Claire Barcant, in what would be her final match at the junior competition and gave it her all. Marking the close of a well decorated ten years as a player at the junior CASA competition, the four time Caribbean champion eliminated Barcant also in

Taylor Fernandes straight sets finishing her off 11-5, 11-2, 11- 7. Another straight set win prevailed when Akeila Wiltshire took on girls Under -19 champion Charlotte Knaggs, however , this time around it was in favour of the Trinidad side. Three time Caribbean champion, Knaggs and Akeila had earlier faced off in the under 19 finals, with Knaggs prevailing. Akeila lost a close first game 8 – 11, another 8 – 11 end presided in the second set, before the third set closed off 9 – 11. Rebecca Low then took on Alexandria Yearwood in the Under- 15 girls tie. Low lost 7 – 11, 11 – 9, 5 – 11,

5 – 11, leaving the decision of a win on the outcome of the fifth and final match between Makeda Harding and Al Rawi. The two had met earlier in the team group match, when Makeda had won easily three games to love. Yesterday was no different, as Harding took another easy three set win ending 11 – 4, 11-3, 11 – 0. On the boys side Guyana knew that they needed to win the first two matches to stand any chance of defending their boys’ team title. First on court was Ben Mekdeci against Tahjia Lumley in the under 17 Division. Mekdeci had beaten Lumley in the quarter finals of the individual events so he was very confident coming into the match. Ben easily won the first game 11- 3. The second game was very close but Ben was able to secure it by winning it 11 – 9. The loss of this second game seemed to take all of the fighting spirit from Tahjia and Ben ran away with the third game winning it 11 – 3. The next match on court would decide who would win the Boys’ Team title. Nyron Joseph was pitted against Jake Mahfood in the Under 19 No. 2 string match. Nyron had lost to Jake three games to two in the indi-

vidual semi-finals. Nyron lost a close first game 8 – 11 and then lost the second game rather badly 3 – 11. Nyron seemed to refocus and quickly jumped out to a 9 – 3 lead in the third game. It seemed as this game would be quickly over but this was not to be. Jake dug deep and won point after point to get to 9 all. However

Shomari Wiltshire , Nyron held his nerve and won this game 11 – 9. The fourth game went back and forth but with Jake leading 9 – 6 and two points from the match it seemed to be all over for Nyron. Nyron,

however, is a fighter and clawed his way back into the game saving a match ball at 10 – 9. He was eventually able to win the fourth game 13 – 11 and for the second time in five days these two players would go into a fifth and deciding game. The game was intense, each player was giving his all. The game would go back and forth. Both players were physically exhausted but neither was giving up. Jake got to match ball at 10 – 9 but Nyron kept his cool and saved it. Nyron then had match ball and played a drop shot into the tin. Finally at 13 – 12 Nyron was able to win the next and most crucial point and with that the game 14 – 12 and the match by three games to two. Team Guyana then knew that the Boys Team Title was now almost certainly their own. Jean Claude Jeffrey then took to the court in his match with Under 19 Individual Champion Julian Morrison. On this day Julian would prove to be the better player. Jean Claude lost the first game 7 – 11 and then lost the second game by an even closer score of 10 – 12. The loss of these two games seemed to take all of the energy from Jean Claude and he lost the third game

Victoria Arjoon 2 – 11. In the Under 15 match Alex Cheeks was matched up against Jonathan Walker Individual Runner up. Alex lost the first game 5 – 11 and then lost the second game 3 – 11. He then lost the third game 2 – 11. It was now up to Shomari Wiltshire to seal the victory for Team Guyana. This he did with ease winning the first two games 11 – 0 and then dropped one point in the third game winning it 11 – 1. Guyana had thus secured the Boys’ Team title to add to the Girls’ Team Title that they had won earlier in the day.

Akeem Kanhai still dreaming it’s like everything dead for now,” Kanhai said. Kanhai just wrapped up his second stint with Guyana’s men’s basketball team competing at the Caribbean Basketball Confederation (CBC) where they finished fifth, and according to the Ravens talisman, it was way better than his first outing in

Akeem Kanhai By Rawle Toney For many here in Guyana, he’s considered one of the best all-round players of his generation and in retrospect is sometimes unmatched on the basketball court. His exceptional educational back ground being a former top student at the Mackenzie High School in Linden, and now reading for a degree in Geological Engineering at the University of Guyana, allows him to think one step ahead of his competitors in games. But for 22 year-old Akeem Kanhai, his dreams of playing at the highest level in the game still remains intact as the Ravens point Guard reveals his desire to be the best in Guyana at his craft. Growing up in Linden, sports has always been an integral part in Kanhai’s life and after trying his hands at table tennis and his feet at football, Kanhai eventually fell in love with basketball and the rest as they say is history. During his youth, the 6’4” guard was brought to prominence thanks to the Victory Valley Royals Secondary School’s basketball

championship where he led his school, Mackenzie High, to several titles and won several individual accolades in the process. Thanks to Youth Basketball Guyana and their hosting of the National School’s Basketball Festival (NSBF) Kanhai was able to match his skills with his peers from across the country where he exhibited that he’s in a league of his own. He was part of the team that won the Inter Guiana Games (IGG) title and had also captained the team in Suriname where they finished second to the hosts. His growth among the more senior players and overall work ethics has placed him to be if not one of, the most, popular local player presently. But after having a stand out junior career, and is one of most talked about local players, one would wonder “what’s next” for the player nicknamed ‘The Dream’. “I still want to play at the highest level, you know, because nothing is happening here (in Guyana) right now. No one is playing or training. I like to work out but nothing is happening, we haven’t even catch a sweat yet since we came back (from Tortola),

the Bahamas in 2011. “Everything about this tournament was better. We had a far better team and even though we had our hiccups with the Federation, we still did well. I think for me, playing with (Rawle) Marshall kind of lifted my game a bit and all around. Honestly, I want to play more often and

at a high level all the time,” said Kanhai. “My biggest challenge right now is staying motivated to play basketball. Like I said, nothing much is happening right now so I would go to the Sports Hall to help Lugard (Mohan) with the YBG camp and I will probably do the same with the IGG team. But

that’s about it”. One thing for sure is that Kanhai is always eager to play and to play against tough competition, adding, “One tournament a month not making sense right now so once the opportunity comes for me to play at the highest level, I will take it providing certain things.”
