Norway’s Partnership with Guyana on Forests and Climate …

Real Time Evaluation Report points to an overall positive performance of Guyana N o rw e g i a n s ’ R e a l Time Evaluation Report on Norway international Climate and Forest Initiative, that summarises the partnerships supported under this programme over the period 2007-2013 was released on Monday August 18, 2014.

This Report provides

insights into the successes and areas for improvement/ strengthening across various partnerships on forest and climate that the Government of Norway has engaged.

This evaluation was conducted by an expert team contracted independently by the Government of Norway to assess the effectiveness

of Norway’s partnership on forest and climate change with key partner countries (of which Guyana is one) and agencies.

Overall Positive Results in Guyana Model on REDD+ and LCDS This Report, points to an overall positive performance of Guyana in key technical areas of REDD+ and highlights the exemplary work done

by Guyana in developing a system for monitoring, reporting and verification for forest and REDD+.

These findings have come in the face of growing criticisms on monitoring o f G u y a n a ’s f o r e s t f o r sustainable development.

The findings also serve as

a further endorsement of the exemplary systems that have been in place in Guyana for over three years and which provide a solid basis for the GFC’s positions expressed that sought to address the misrepresentations

in the local media on the management of Guyana’s forests.

Three Independent Verification of Forests in Guyana The evaluation reports also lauds the extensive

efforts that have been extended by Guyana and the GFC in opening up national systems for independent third party scrutiny. At the GFC’s Press Conference on Monday the questions was posed to the GFC

on whether independent verification and audits were being conducted on Guyana’s forestry systems.

was provided by the GFC, the publication of this Evaluation Report provides further evidence of yet another audit that the GFC has facilitated on forestry and its programme of work.

The Evaluation Report notes that the GuyanaNorway partnership has been highly successful at developing a nationallevel monitoring, reporting and verification system, and reasonably successful at developing a financial mechanism for REDD+ payments. The system has now successfully completed three rounds of reporting and independent verification, and two rounds of payments have been made to the Guyana REDD+ Investment Fund.

The Evaluation report also notes specifically, that the verification aspect (which includes independent verification and areas of forestry such as illegal logging, forest management, etc.) have been verified for three years so far with the most recent being completed and published in the first quarter of 2014:

Highly Successful MRVS Model The Evaluation Report points to The Guyana-Norway partnership which has been highly successful at developing a national-level monitoring, reporting and verification system, and reasonably successful at developing a financial mechanism for REDD+ payments.

The Report notes that Guyana represent an important model for NICFI (Norway International Climate and Forest Initiative), with Guyana as a high forest cover / low deforestation c o u n t r y. T h e N I C F I Secretariat especially views

the partnership in Guyana very positively, and expressed that Guyana made remarkable progress on the technical aspects of the partnership.

Among some of the reasons cited for this success is the effective working relationship between Guyana and Norway on technical issues including in areas of technical monitoring, reporting and verification issues.

The Evaluation Report concluded that in Guyana, NICFI support had been highly effective in developing the national MRV system and reference level. In Guyana there was also evidence that MRV data were used more broadly than for MRV to support forest management, for example in monitoring compliance with harvest plans and to assist with monitoring mining operations.

First National Scale Model for REDD+ Funding The Report also notes that Guyana is the first country to have a REDD+ funding mechanism that operates at the national-scale and that there are clear work plans, periodic reports and verification reports against the indicators for the bilateral agreements with Guyana. In these cases information on activities, outputs produced, and outcomes achieved are clear and readily accessible.

In Guyana, rapid progress on the technical elements of the partnership was enabled by high level support from the previous and current Presidents, together with a highly effective implementation team. The Guyana-Norway partnership was intended as a demonstration of a results-based payments system for REDD+, and the

partnership has achieved the establishment of a financial mechanism; a monitoring, reporting and verification system; a reference level; independent verification; and the disbursement of payments for results.

Remarkable Progress in Technical and Institutional Pre-requisites In the Annex of the Report which specifically examines the Guyana model, the Evaluation report concludes that the technical and institutional pre-requisites for verifying deforestation rates relative to a reference level have been achieved in Guyana: The Report lists out the key outputs so far as: * The development of a fully functioning national monitoring, reporting and verification system. * The development of a national reference level for deforestation. * The completion of independent verification reports for both the forest and enabling activity indicators. * Establishment of the Guyana REDD+ Investment Fund (GRIF) - a financial mechanism for disbursing REDD+ payments (involving the World Bank, the InterAmerican Development Bank, and the United Nations Development Programme). * The achievement of results-based payments for deforestation rates below the reference level. * Progress on a number of enabling activities. * The disbursement of funds via the GRIF to projects under Guyana’s Low Carbon Development Strategy, including the Amerindian Development Fund, the Amerindian Land Titling project, and the Micro and Small Enterprise Development project.

Egypt calls for Gaza ceasefire as fighting rages

By Nidal al-Mughrabi and Yasmine Saleh (REUTERS) - EGYPT called on Israel and the Palestinians on Saturday to halt hostilities and resume peace talks, but both sides kept up attacks, including an Israeli air strike which destroyed a residential tower block in the center of Gaza City.

Hamas militants also fired rockets at Israel, hitting the southern city of Beersheba, where two people were hurt, police said. At least two rockets were also fired from Lebanon into northern Israel but it was not initially clear who fired them, Lebanese and Israeli sources said.

Initial reports said 17 people were wounded in the attack on the 13-storey Gaza building, local health officials said.

An Israeli military spokeswoman said the building, which collapsed completely, contained a command center belonging to Hamas militants. Local residents said it housed 44 families.

Another Israeli strike later destroyed a commercial center in the southern Gaza town of Rafah and three people were hurt, local medical staff said.

Five Palestinians, including two children, were killed

Smoke rises following what witnesses said were Israeli air strikes in Gaza August 23, 2014. Credit: Reuters/Ahmed Zakot in another Israeli strike on a house in central Gaza, health officials said. Seven more Palestinians were killed in other strikes, including one on a car.

The Israeli military said it bombed about 20 targets across the Hamas-ruled strip, including rocket launchers and weapon caches next to schools.

No Israeli casualties were reported on Saturday, although rockets and mortar bombs rained down on Israel throughout

the day, including one intercepted over the Tel Aviv area, the military said. At least 570 rockets have been fired at Israel since a ceasefire collapsed on Tuesday, it added.

Palestinian health officials say 2,083 people, most of them civilians, have been killed in the small, densely populated coastal enclave since July 8, when Israel launched an offensive with the declared aim of ending Palestinian rocket fire into its territory.

Sixty-four Israeli soldiers and four civilians have been killed.

Merkel was visiting Kiev as a prelude to a meeting next week between the Russian and Ukrainian leaders that diplomats say is the best chance in months of a peace deal in eastern Ukraine, where government forces are fighting pro-Moscow rebels.

She arrived as tensions flared up again. NATO has alleged Russia’s military is active inside Ukraine helping the rebels, and Moscow angered Kiev and its Western allies by sending an aid convoy into Ukraine against Kiev’s wishes.

Manning declines award Persad-Bissessar announces Order of T&T for two former PMs...

By Michelle Loubon (TRINIDAD EXPRESS) Former prime minister Patrick Manning on Friday said he was declining the award of the nation’s highest honour, The Order of The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, announced on Thursday night by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar. The Prime Minister also announced the Government’s intention to confer another former prime minister, Basdeo Panday, with the award.

The Order is given to an individual who has rendered “distinguished and outstanding service to Trinidad and Tobago”.

The national awards are given out annually, on Independence Day, August 31.

Southern lawyers praise Constitution Amendment ... but question implementation methods

By Nikita Braxton-Benjamin (TRINIDAD EXPRESS) THE Assembly of Southern Lawyers (ASL) has praised provisions in the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2014, for a two-year fixed term for prime ministers and the right to recall members of Parliament, but has questioned the methods for implementing them.

The membership also believes there should be more consultation with the public on the bill’s “run-off” provision, which requires that an elected member of Parliament receive 50 per cent of the votes.

ASL president Imran Khan said yesterday in a media release that the issues were raised on Thursday by southern legal practitioners during a consultation session on the bill.

“The executive of the ASL felt that such consultation with our members was critical in formulating a position due to the potentially revolutionary impact of the bill,” the release said.

On August 4, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar brought the legislation before Parliament.

It has since been passed in the House of Representatives and it is expected to be debated in the Senate on Tuesday.

Patrick Manning

night has raised queries about the process of bestowing these awards upon deserving citizens. It has also raised the issue of whether she bypassed the authority of Chief Justice Ivor Archie, who is chair of the National Awards Committee.

However, contacted yesterday, the Prime Minister said, “That is not true.”

Via a telephone interview, when asked if she had bypassed Archie, Persad-Bissessar said: “That is not true. We are preparing a statement to issue shortly, and, that is not true. We have drafted something. That is not so if you look at the way the law is framed.”

On his Facebook page yesterday, Manning said Persad-Bissessar had launched a series of attacks upon his character in order to win Government, and had he been consulted beforehand he would have privately declined.

He also said he had learned about it via postings through people who saw it on Facebook.

Ja still on track

Economic performance consistent with IMF programme despite drought

By Gary Spaulding, Senior Gleaner Writer (THE GLEANER) THE prevailing drought conditions have spurred the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to make what it characterised as temporary adjustments to its expectations of Jamaica’s performance, even as it signalled that the country is well set to pass its fifth consecutive IMF test, since it hammered out the latest Extended Fund Facility.

“The recent drought will temporarily eat in the recent growths and raise food price inflation, and we have adjusted our projections accordingly,” said Jan Kees Martijn, IMF mission chief for Jamaica, at a press conference ahead of his departure from the island yesterday.

Martijn noted that under the Government’s policy programme, the current account had steadily strengthened with the net international reserves increasing to US$2.2 billion in July, with gross reserves standing at US$2.8 million.

After the thumbs up by the IMF mission chief, the board is scheduled to give its stamp of approval by next month after which Jamaica will be able to draw down US$71 million in Special Drawing Rights.

Speaking on the conclusion of the fifth review of the programme, Martijn disclosed that Jamaica’s programme remained on track. He said Jamaica’s economic outlook continued to improve with activities expanding in the region of 1.2 per cent between April and June 20014.

GUYANA

Everywhere is war

IT is so unfortunate and distressing to see so many current wars that are engulfing so many lives-including women and children as well as astronomical destruction to property and immeasurable agony and suffering.

Currently in the Middle East Syria, Egypt, Iraq and the Gaza are having raging wars on their soils which is not doing anyone any good.

On the contrary these wars only increase the existing instability in these countries and create severe economic hardship and escalating the already high poverty levels.

The war in Gaza has already seen over 2,000 lives lost, mostly innocent Palestinian civilians. In Iraq and Egypt, while the cause of the wars is different from that of Gaza, the

suffering and destruction is no different. In Iraq the situation seemed poised for a massacre and the UN has called for action to prevent what it says may be a possible massacre in the northern Iraqi town of Amerli.

Special representative, Nickolay Mladenov says he is “seriously alarmed” by reports regarding the conditions in which the town’s residents live.

Amerli, under siege

by Islamic State for two months, has no electricity or drinking water, and is running out of food and medical supplies.

IS has seized large swathes of Iraq and Syria in recent months.

Since August 8, the US has carried out 94 air strikes to support Iraqi and Kurdish troops tackling the insur-

gents.

The majority of Amerli’s residents are Turkmen Shia, seen as apostates by IS. The town’s inhabitants say they have had to organise their own resistance to the militants and no foreign aid has reached the town since the siege began.

“The situation of the people in Amerli is desperate and demands immediate action to prevent the possible massacre of its citizens,” Mr Mladenov said in a statement.

“I urge the Iraqi Government to do all it can to relieve the siege and to ensure that the residents receive life-saving humanitarian assistance or are evacuated in a dignified manner.”

Mr. Mladenov’s deputy, Gyorgy Busztin, told the BBC that the UN had no contact with IS representatives.

“We are not talking to terrorists and this is a matter of principle,” he said.

“There is no way anybody can have any positive effect on these people. We have contacts with moderate Sunnis connected to the... areas which [IS] has overrun.”

On Friday, the most influential Shia cleric in Iraq, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, expressed concern over the plight of Amerli’s inhabitants.

As expected US defence chiefs have spelled out their conviction that a complex long-term war will be needed, with intervention in both Syria and Iraq, if Islamic

State’s “caliphate” is to be uprooted from those two countries. This is exactly why there can be no peace in the Middle East. The US and its allies do not want peace there because peace will mean less profits for the powerful Military Industrial Complex which actually determines the foreign policy of the US and its allies.

It is these same countries that have hypocritically self-appointed themselves as the world policemen and guardian of human rights and democracy. But yet they have put

profits before lives.

Had they exerted the requisite pressure on Israel the Palestinian issue most likely would have long been resolved. Instead they have been supporting and propping up Israel which is giving it the clout to continue its onslaught on the Palestinians who were driven from their homeland.

Unless and until the US and its allies change their policy of putting their interests and profits before lives there will be no peace in the Middle East.

Prime Minister was in no circus

PLEASE allow me some space in order to correct and clarify some misunderstandings on the part of Mr. Abel Seetaram, Chairman, Alliance For Change (AFC), RMC - Region 5, as expressed in his letter entitled “The Prime Minister and the Political Circus in Berbice,” and published in the August 22, 2014 editions of the Kaieteur News and Stabroek News newspapers, respectively.

Yes, I have been in Berbice, helping to draw attention to the need for every Guyanese to take note of the Preliminary List of Electors (PLE) issued by the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), in preparation for likely national elections which might be held in the second half of January 2015, following the recent submission of a “No Confidence” motion to the National Assembly, by the AFC. It is important that all political parties, and all Guyanese, work together to ensure that there is a clean and complete Official List of Electors (OLE). We of the People’s Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/C), have already

published our concerns about the astonishing increase in the number of potential voters listed on the PLE 2014, compared to the OLE 2011, and have pointed to some extremely suspicious, apparent errors.

I do recall someone calling in on the ‘Live Television’ programme, with questions somewhat like those related by Mr. Seetaram in his newspaper article – evidently, my responses were not understood!

I did, and continue to, maintain that there was, and has been, noticeable improvements in the general standard of living in our country during the 1957-to1964 period, and from 1992 to the present, and, also, that the 1964-to-1992 period was characterised by an inflation of about 1000, whilst wages and salaries were increased only by about one-third of that. Wage and salary earners, particularly civil servants, were, in 1992, ‘worse off’ than they were in 1964. The main difference has been Dr. Cheddi Jagan and the PPP/C’s adherence to financial discipline (a balanced budget), a discipline which

is often painted as harsh, but which paradoxically brings the brighter day particularly to the smaller man, particularly wage and salary earners.

As I have said in the Budget 2014 Debate – Berbicians became much ‘better off ’ when the Berbice Bridge replaced the aged and ailing Transport and Harbours Department (T&HD) steamers. The “problem” with the tolls of the Berbice Bridge is the negligible tolls of the Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB), which evolved from its particular history. Each day, the need for a new, or additional, Demerara Bridge becomes more evident, and it is being addressed – it could and would be built in good time, but with cost-covering tolls similar to those at Berbice. Otherwise, a new Demerara Bridge would have to await receipt of another grant or very concessionary loan, and the bridge would take in the order of four years to be built.

Yes, we of this PPP/C Government are plugging monies every year into the sugar industry, just as we continued, from 1992, the People’s National Congress

(PNC)-support to bauxite, which began soon after 1976. And in this regard, we ought to count the G$3 billion electricity-subsidy this year, for electricity in the bauxite communities. Even whilst supporting bauxite and sugar, we are urging, and working for, a refashioning of our old, traditional economic activities, longing for the day when they can sustainably pay their way and no longer have to call on the national treasury. I did refer to NOKIA as an example from which we could learn, with its rapid rise and, then, being overtaken by others, and, eventually, its decline. This is the story of life, of all economic activities, of all companies, of all human communities – we have to manage this “life cycle” as it is manifested. Time is required for people and for communities to refashion and transform themselves – we owe it to them, for, indeed, we all benefitted during their ‘glory days’. The world is ever changing, and the diamond in the crown today eventually loses its ‘shine’. This

PPP/C Government did not abandon our bauxite companies and communities, nor would we abandon our sugar companies and communities – we will continue to work for their disciplined transformation to profitability and prosperity.

On the question of race and political preferences, I repeated my position, which is that we should take account of the fact that our different peoples (races) arrived here with their different, complete cultures, respectively – religions, social practices and attitudes – and, further, had different historical experiences in this land. It should not be a surprise that as formal socio-political organisations arose in Guyana that our people would cluster around views and attitudes that would overlap with race. Cheddi was aware of this, and endeavoured consciously and continuously to position the Political Action Committee (PAC), the PPP and the PPP/C as parties for all Guyanese, and with a leadership that reflected all the segments of Guyana. Who will refute this?

As Cheddi espoused, and we believe, we face two challenges – becoming one

people, and materially building our Guyana; and as we work at the latter, we will be resolving the former. The ethnic overlap with voting; will not disappear with anyone or with any party waving a magic wand. We of the PPP/C, believe that this will happen gradually, as we hold together, work together, making common experiences as we build our country materially. Trust will thus be built, and as trust is built, we will be coming together from our various starting points and, one day, unheralded and without fanfare, our earnest, honest feelings on the important questions on which political clustering presently turn, will no longer be an overlap with race.

These are the sentiments that I tried to express – Mr. Seetaram and others may have heard and understood differently – I thank you all for this opportunity to correct and clarify the misunderstanding.

Leadership in the public service and some of the occupational harzards

By Keith Burrowes I'VE WRITTEN, in more than one column if my memory serves me correctly, about a particular risk associated with public office: The risk of defamation, simply by virtue of serving in a politically contentious environment such as this one.

A former English teacher of mine used to like to offer the example of the assassination of the Archbishop of Canterbury,

While the King did not help the assassins while they were on the run, he also did nothing to ensure that they were brought to justice.

The more I serve in public capacities here in Guyana, the more examples I see that play out in a similar way to my old English teacher's favourite f a b l e . I w ro t e e a r l i e r this year on the issue of territoriality in the public service, and it remains true that the public service in Guyana is filled with little kings who've carved

“I wrote earlier this year on the issue of territoriality in the public service, and it remains true that the public service in Guyana is filled with little kings who've carved out their own respective individual territories, and anyone who infringes upon it is somehow subject to character assassination, not necessarily perpetrated by themselves, but often by their underlings acting on their hints, non-specific remarks or even attitude towards someone.”

Thomas Becket, to demonstrate how weak leadership and sycophantism can combine to produce fatal consequences without a directly expressed intention.

According to the story, the King of England (I’ve forgotten which one exactly) was bothered by Becket's public opposition to his acting against the rules of the Church. At a gathering of his court, the King simply exclaimed to nobody in particular: "Would no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?"

A few months later, four knights who were present when the King made that apparently only rhetorical query, assassinated Becket.

out their own respective individual territories, and anyone who infringes upon it is somehow subject to character assassination, not necessarily perpetrated by themselves, but often by their underlings acting on their hints, non-specific remarks or even attitude towards someone.

Try as I might, as much as I would like to illustrate the general lesson as my English teacher did, this is something that I've not only witnessed in relation to how it affects others, but something I've

experienced myself, that I have been a 'victim' or attempted victim. And the best I can do in response

Keith Burrowes is to humbly offer reason and restraint against what is clearly a widespread neurosis that we have here in Guyana.

I’m one of those people who believe that if superiors have a problem with an o ff i c e r o c c u p y i n g a n y position for reasons which are associated with loyalty, etc. they should take the necessary actions against the officer which includes removal.

Firstly, suppose that you are in a position of leadership and you find that a person's actions, not simply their existence, are somehow

detrimental to you adequately functioning in your position.

If you are that person's superior, or the system provides for your direct intervention in sanctioning that person, there is no need to beat around the bush and make what is referred to as passive-aggressive statements. If you are in a position to sanction that person, sanction that person, otherwise you are clearly complicit in that person's faults.

Unless it is of course that your criticisms are unfounded, and your intent is simply to defame that person.

Secondly, suppose that your superior has expressed a negative opinion about someone. Do you simply believe that opinion, without evidence? And if you do, what value is there in spreading this opinion, as it relates to your job? And what value is there in letting that opinion impact upon your treatment

of that person? Very often I've found that leaders of the type I've outlined above only encourage or promote subordinates who take in and amplify even their least prejudice - what they do is build a bureaucratic echo chamber.

The problem on a personal level is that no leader concerned with leadership as a character trait, as opposed to a status that perpetuates by any means necessary, ever encourages sycophants around them the quality of a leader is defined not by the quality of the follower. And for the follower, if you're involved in public service simply to advance by parroting and mimicking what some insecure superior says, then you're either going to remain in that subordinate position, or end up ascending in a system in which you can be subject to the same character assassination that you help to perpetuate.

I'm not saying that this sort of attitude is restricted to the public sector - some

corporate cultures thrive on such dog eat dog competition, and others fail utterly because of it. But what makes this phenomenon particularly worrisome in the public service is because of that sacred concept of the public trust and the social contract. People expect the State to work in their best interests, not in the interest of the personal ambitions and prejudices of individuals.

In a democracy and arguably even in an autocracy - the greater good is what should be paramount and while competition is a necessary part of life, what I have seen of recent is a situation where 'competition' in the public service has become so rabid, so personal, that it is fast moving from the place where people race to see who can do a public job better, and who is more deserving of the perks that come with high-level positions. If such a situation continues to prevail, it is the Guyanese people who will lose.

One dead, several injured in boat collision -at Goshen/Riverview, Rio Essequibo

By Asif Hakim TWENTY–YEAR-OLD, Nicole Mayers of the Region 10 (Upper Demerara/ Upper Berbice) community of Goshen was killed at around 04:00hrs yesterday when the boat in which she was travelling collided with a cargo vessel carrying vegetables.

This tragic mishap occurred in the vicinity of Goshen/ Riverview in the Essequibo River, and several other passengers who were injured were taken to the Bartica Hospital for medical treatment.

A senior police officer of the ‘F’ Division told the Chronicle that based on police reports; the boat was heading to Goshen from Bartica when it crashed into the cargo vessel transporting vegetables at the time. He said that survivors of the accident concurred that the cargo vessel was unlighted at time of the accident, and that lights were turned on only after the tragic mishap had occurred.

“Four others who were also in the boat swam to the cargo vessel, which then rescued them,” the officer said. “The woman who died might not have known how to swim,” the officer concluded.

The captains of the vessels are in police custody at the Bartica Police Station, assisting with the ongoing investigations, the officer informed.

Region 1 communities to be electrified before Christmas

RESIDENTS of the Region 1 (Barima/Waini) community of Santa Rosa (Barima/Waini) will soon benefit from a $35M upgrade of the electricity grid serving that community.

The project is being done by contractors working under supervision of the Hinterland Electrification Unit (HEU) of the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM). Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the HEU, Mr. Horace Williams, disclosed that the work includes installation of additional transformers, poles, cables and other elements to the existing system, so that more people can benefit from it.

“The community is growing and the upgrade is part of an ongoing effort to improve their access to electricity without voltage drops or disruptions,” Williams said.

The project at Santa Rosa, he said, started a few weeks ago, and is currently about 45% completed.

Williams is optimistic that the project would be completed

by October, so that many more residents of that hinterland community in the Moruca District can access electricity from the upgraded grid before the start of the Christmas season.

Williams also disclosed that the network at Matthews Ridge, which falls under the same Hinterland Electricity Programme in the same region, is completed, and the contractors will shortly boot up the system. He urged residents in that community to ensure that the wiring in their homes is up to the required standard, so that they can access electricity from the public grid as soon as this is made operational.

He said that at least 50% of the two hundred households in that community need to be ready for safe connection to the grid before the system can be activated.

“It would be uneconomical to start up the system with less than this percentage of customers,” he said of hinterland electricity at Matthews Ridge and hinterland electricity in general. (Clifford Stanley)

A Google map of Guyana showing the area of Goshen where the accident occurred

Kaieteur News front page malicious and diabolical-BK International -headline and photographs designed to mislead readers THE Kaieteur News headline and photograph on the front page of the Friday August 22, 2014 edition are a malicious and diabolical effort intended to besmirch the reputation of BK International.

The front page headline states “Incomplete BK-built Vreed-en-Hoop wharf stalls US$26M power station.”

However, the article makes no reference to BK International as being responsible for the delay. In fact, the article instead makes reference to comments from the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of GPL, Aeshwar Deonarine and noted that: “The wharf is being built in a swampy area, and in difficult circumstances, along the western bank of the Demerara River.” Also, comments from GPL CEO, Bharat Dindyal, noted “that the terrain has been challenging, with 800 piles driven to ensure the foundation of the new station remains stable.”

Further, the photographs suggest to readers that they are showing the present state of the project – this is not so. In fact,

these photographs were taken several months ago and do not reflect all of the work done to date.

The only reference to BK International in the article is to say that “…a contract to BK International for the building of the wharf and fuel lines.”

The absence of any direct or indirect link, between the work being done by BK International, and the date for the commissioning of the project exposes the real intent of the Kaieteur News front page. BK International is satisfied that it has worked diligently on this project and has kept the GPL management updated on the progress of the works.

Since the revetted driveway through the mangrove swamp, to connect with the reinforced concrete catwalk and berthing area, has been completed, the GPL management team has been able to make direct inspections of the progress of the work.

Work on the wharf continues during the periods of low tide as high tides are not conducive for this type of operation in the river.(BK International release)

AFC & APNU demanding their pound of flesh with no-confidence motion IT seems naïve for the AFC to table a noconfidence motion to the Clerk of the National Assembly, Sherlock Issacs on August 7, 2014, and then have to wait well over two months to immerse parliamentarians in some debate on the matter; when all this could be done in a more timely fashion if the AFC’s proposer through the Speaker had requested an extraordinary sitting of the National Assembly.

The AFC chose to wait out the more than two months for the usual parliamentary shout-outs. This delay casts a shadow on the urgency and significance of the now infamous ‘no-confidence’ proposal because if the AFC really sees the proposal as important and bestowed with at least a pound of credible flesh, then it would have been the loudest cheerleader to make this happen imminently.

But even as the AFC awaits the impending parliamentary turmoil to win the day on this motion, its no-confidence proposal is akin to Shylock’s demand for a pound of flesh from Antonio; Shylock’s motive for demanding this pound of flesh had to do with Antonio’s capacity to lower the interest rate in Venice with his “loose-money” strategy (1).

The Jewish moneylender Shylock lost money so long as Antonio kept the interest rate down; and Antonio did it for the good of those who needed to borrow money at the lowest interest rate. The AFC with its counterpart APNU gradually would have

Guyana (paralleling how Antonio helped ordinary people to borrow money cheaply).

But despite APNU/ AFC’s attempts at frustrating the Government’s capital programmes, there are still a thousand points of developmental lights in Guyana. And so the AFC/ APNU’s failure to curb the Government’s development programme and to reduce its popular support has led to their introduction of a new ploy to Guyanese, the no-confidence motion. Both AFC and APNU see the noconfidence proposal as a way of getting out of the electoral ghetto.

And then there is the AFC’s Opposition sidekick APNU which is uncertain as to its next move, having thrown its belated and hesitant support behind the AFC. APNU’s announcement of support for the motion happened just after the PNC/R’s 18th Biennial Congress last month, and that announcement was an attempt to draw little attention to the chaos that erupted at the Congress.

These behaviours of the AFC and APNU are hallmarks of weak Opposition parties fighting for political survival.

The AFC and APNU are not your classical opposition, as there is a disconnect between AFC/APNU as the

And just as Shylock demanded a pound of flesh to keep Antonio out of the picture of money lending, similarly the AFC and APNU are digging in their heels to demand their pound of flesh from the PPP/C Government, that pound of flesh being the loathsome no-confidence motion. Indeed, the intent of the AFC/APNU’s noconfidence proposal is to bring the PPP/C Government

Soyini Fraser keeps Jamzone 2014 crown on local shores THE delegate line-up this year was certainly not as exquisite as last year’s, save for the compelling presence of Miss Guyana, Soyini Fraser, Miss Trinidad and Tobago, Yaya Henry, Miss Bahamas, Lexie Wilson, and Miss Barbados, Dannyele Leslie. However, it was the captivating Miss Guyana, Soyini Fraser who eventually fused intelligence and ‘Guyanese sizzle’ to cart off the coveted crown and the whopping US$10,000 and bragging rights associated with the pageant. In second place was Miss Barbados, Dannyele Leslie, with Miss Bahamas, Lexie Wilson placing third. In the fourth runner-up spot was Trinidad’s Yaya Henry, with Jamaica’s Joanna Sadler placing fifth.

Agricola children to graduate from three-month art & craft programme ALMOST 60 children from Agricola yesterday graduated from a three-month art and craft training programme conducted by professional art and craft designer, Indira Hicken, wife of ‘A’ Division Commander, Clifton Hicken.

The training sessions, which started in June, were made possible through intervention of the head teacher and several other generous persons from Agricola, as well as the business community, which has been supporting the initiative — brainchild of Commander Hicken but falling under the Guyana Police Force with respect to its new approach in engaging the various communities through their leaders and representatives. ****************************************** Tuesday 19 ‘CG’ bandits shoot businessman dead, escape with bag of money BUSINESSMAN Ashok Raghu, 43, of 77 Pike Street, Kitty, Georgetown was shot dead in his vehicle by bandits on a Honda CG motorcycle. The shooting occurred at the traffic light on Vlissingen Road near the entrance to Botanical Gardens. Raghu’s wife, Sherry, was also shot in the thigh and toe, and is now a patient at the Georgetown Hospital. The bandits reportedly traced the couple from a city bank where they went to make a withdrawal.

‘JAGS Aviation’ adds ‘brand new baby’ to its fleet JAGS Aviation, the aviation arm of BK Group of Companies, added a brand new Cessna Grand Caravan to Guyana’s domestic aviation services to aid in boosting local tourism. The US$3M Cessna Grand Caravan 208B EX was acquired directly from the manufacturer, making JAGS Aviation the first private sector entity to acquire an aircraft straight off the production line. Manufactured in the United States, the Caravan is able to seat 13 passengers comfortably, and is the first aircraft purchased by JAGS since its acquisition by the BK Group of Companies in June.

Forestry Commissioner dismisses overharvesting claims as ‘false’ –blames misconception on ‘lack of understanding’ of forest procedures THE Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC), responding to “mass allegations and misinformation” regarding the operations of Chinese logging company Bai Shan Lin (BSL), has “set the record straight” in order to dispel the many rumours circulating about this company. Commissioner James Singh put paid to the many claims that BSL has been involved in exploitation of Guyana’s forestry resources. He noted that much of the information being circulated in the press “is as a result of a lack of understanding” of the procedures in forestry.

He even disclosed that Bai Shan Lin (BSL) has an “unutilised quota” for its concessionary holdings coming out of joint ventures with other companies. ****************************************** Wednesday 20 Police arrest suspect in robbery, murder of Campbellvile businessman A SUSPECT has been arrested by police in the shooting robbery/murder of 43-year-old businessman Ashook Ragghu

of 77 Pike Street, Campbellville, Georgetown, in the vicinity of the Botanical Gardens on Vlissengen Road in Georgetown.

Investigations are in progress.

Nine-year-old drowns in creek near Wauna Bridge THE North West District villages of Hosororo and Wauna in Region 1 were plunged into mourning following news of the drowning of nine-year-old, Dinesh Saktue of Hosororo Hill. Dinesh, late Grade Five pupil of the Hosororo Primary School, died shortly after noon in the black waters at the popular Wauna Bridge. His deeply distraught mother, Juliet Valenzuela, trying to hold back the tears said she and her husband, Tullsiram Saktu, had gone to church earlier in the day and had left Dinesh and his other siblings at home. His elder siblings were preparing to take their cousin, Nicholas, visiting from Venezuela, to the Wauna Creek for an outing, and Dinesh’s older sister, Anisa Dhanraj, was also going on the trip, but was against taking Dinesh with them. Anisa maintained a close watch over Dinesh as they all got into the water, but an emergency situation caused her to exit the creek and head uphill for a short while, and that was when tragedy struck. ****************************************** Thursday 21 Bandits rob Loo Creek businessman on highway and Galaxy Game Shop at Wismar Market BANDITS had a ‘field day’ on the Linden Highway when they robbed the business owner of Loo Creek on the Linden-Soesdyke Highway. Loo Creek was once one of the more popular picnic spots but at the time of the robbery no one was camping there. The businessman who is said to be the owner of the creek was robbed by two bandits who were armed with a machete and a knife. He was duct taped on his mouth and hands as the bandits robbed him of his Samsung Galaxy cell phone and 650 gallons of diesel although there was a security guard on duty. After the robbery a report was made to a police station on the highway where the police responded to the matter.

Suspected accomplice in Ramchand’s Auto Spares robbery/shooting of customer arrested FIVE weeks after Agricola youth, Kevin Fields was shot dead by a businessman following an armed robbery at Ramchand’s Auto Spares in Campbellville, the police have arrested his suspected accomplice, and have detained that suspect to assist in their investigations. This suspect is also allegedly involved in an armed robbery that occurred at the Medicare Pharmacy at Sandy Babb Street, Kitty sometime after the Ramchand’s Auto Spares robbery. Fields, 21, was fatally shot on July 14 by a businessman after he had snatched a bag containing some $1.7M from a customer at Ramchand’s Auto Spares on Sheriff Street and attempted to flee. The Guyana Chronicle understands that the Agricola resident and an accomplice, who is said to be the suspect that was arrested by the police, had trailed the businessman from another location in the city, and after the man had entered Ramchand’s Auto Spares, he followed him there.

GDF receives $5M RMB in machinery, equipment from PLA THE Guyana Defence Force (GDF) received from the 2011 aid package from the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China equipment and machinery amounting to $5M RMB. This is apart from the $4.8M RMB aid agreement which was inked between the Chinese Army and the GDF. The gift equipment included one ambulance, three front end loaders, one excavator, one generator plant and two inflatable boats with outboard engines. President Ramotar said that the Government and the country value very much, its relationship with the People’s Republic of China and appreciate the great contribution that the country is making in many parts of the world and more importantly in Guyana. ****************************************** Friday 22 DNA samples from female remains at Turkeyen sent for testing CRIME Chief, Leslie James has confirmed that the samples from the decomposed remains which are suspected to be that of missing St Stanislaus teacher, Nyozi Goodman left these shores for a Caribbean destination. The samples will undergo tests to determine if the remains are indeed that of the missing teacher although the belt which was discovered close to the body was identified by her mother as belonging

to her daughter. In the past the Guyana Police Force came in for harsh criticism by both Minister of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee and Head of State President, Donald Ramotar in the highly publicised case of Demerara Bank employee, Sheema Mangar who was killed in September 2010 and samples were sent to a Caribbean country for DNA testing and the matter is still unresolved.

CANU destroys 730 kg cocaine, 1,970 kg marijuana THE Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) destroyed over 730 kilogrammes of cocaine (street value US$29M) and 1,970 kilogrammes of marijuana. The illegal drugs, which were destroyed by burning on Homestretch Avenue, were acquired following several drug busts. Head of CANU, James Singh said that the exercise was necessary because they did not wish to encounter a stockpile and for other security reasons. He added that the marijuana being destroyed was seized during last year and this year in numerous exercises aboard vessels and also search operations. Singh stated that the cocaine was found at various airports and other locations. He reported that the pricing (street estimates) as it relates to that in the United States and Europe- is €45,000 per kilogramme of cocaine and in the US based on purity it is about US$40,000. $31M earmarked for Parika Stelling repairs CABINET last Tuesday granted its no-objection to a contract worth more than $31M that would see the rehabilitation of the Parika Stelling, East Bank Essequibo. This was announced on Thursday by Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon. The facilities at Parika, Leguan and Fort Island were among stellings that were rehabilitated last year under the Transport and Harbours Department’s (T&HD) 2013 capital allottment of $393M. Work on the Parika Stelling cost around $5M, and included the construction of additional lavatory facilities for passengers among other repairs that were effected.

Repairs undertaken at the Leguan Stelling cost in the vicinity of $4.7M, while Fort Island’s was to the tune of $3M. Some work was also done at the Bartica Stelling at a cost of $11.9M. ****************************************** Saturday 23 Police nab man just after committing a robbery at knife point ‘C’ DIVISION Police caught up with Kevin Innis seconds after he held a Canje Berbice resident at knife point and robbed him of the latest iPhone on the market. Innis saw his victim, Michael Gopta standing at the bus shed at the University of Guyana access road and walked up to him, placed a knife to his throat and relieved him of his phone worth $185,000. While the victim was still in shock the police who had moments before wrapped up a roadblock at Sparendaam were heading to conduct another roadblock in Sophia when they encountered the victim who related to them what happened. By that time Innis had already walked a few feet away and the police trailed the man to the head of B Field Sophia where they arrested him.

Ex- soldier charged for attempted murder, attempted felony, setting fire on house FORMER Guyana Defence Force Soldier Sergeant, Rawle Glasgow, 49, of 8 Enterprise Railway Embankment, East Coast Demerara who up to two weeks ago was employed as a security guard appeared at the Vigilance Magistrate Court charged with attempted murder, attempt to commit a felony and setting fire to a dwelling house. The man pleaded not guilty to the charges but was remanded to prison and will return on September 12.

Grieving family members at the scene

Brothers charged with BERBICE MATTERS dangerous driving With Jeune Bailey Van Keric in East Canje Garbage collector charged three-vehicle smash-up with robbing M&TC

BROTHERS Abdool and Zameer Majid of Longsdale Village, East Bank Berbice appeared before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus; charged separately with dangerous driving, and driving a motor vehicle while breath level exceeded the prescribed limit.

Charges were instituted against the siblings following a drag race which resulted in an accident on the recently resurfaced Cumberland Public Road on August 19 last, during which National Insurance Scheme Inspector, Ms. Romolus and her young daughter received injuries.

At the New Amsterdam Court hearing, Defence Counsel alleged that Ms. Romolus, who was wearing a neck brace, had beaten his two clients; and he questioned why charges had not been instituted against the woman.

However, Police Prosecutor, Sergeant Godfrey Player, has since denied

that the witness had assaulted the defendants.

Particulars of the case detail that on August 19 last, on the Cumberland Public Road in East Canje Berbice, Abdool Majid drove motor car HC 2447 in a manner dangerous to the public.

Additionally, he drove HC 2447 while his breath alcohol level exceeded the prescribed limit of 35 micrograms; that is to say, he had 164 micrograms.

Meanwhile, his sibling Zameer faced a similar charge of dangerous driving; but in regard to the charge of driving under the influence of alcohol, his breath alcohol level while he was behind the wheel of HC 2073 was 108 micrograms.

The men were granted bail totalling $100,000 on the four charges.

The matter has been transferred before the Reliance Magistrate, and has been fixed for hearing on October 15.

employee of ‘box hand’

GARBAGE collector Leroy Hopkinson of Angoy’s Avenue in Mount Sinai, West Canje Berbice was remanded to prison after he denied a charge of robbery before Magistrate Sherdell Isaacs-Marcus at the New Amsterdam Court.

The unrepresented defendant was recently reemployed by the New Amsterdam Municipal Council, after informing a senior official that he needed a job, as he was facing challenging times.

On August 17, fifty-one-yearold Barbara Ramdeo, another Town Council employee, was

cycling along the lonely thoroughfare in the vicinity of the Regional Democratic Council when she was accosted and robbed of $37,000, which represented a weekly ‘box hand’ that had earlier been collected from several persons.

Her screams drew scores of persons to her rescue; and the defendant, who jumped overboard into a nearby canal, was pulled therefrom and handed over to the police, who had been summoned.

The stolen sum was recovered in his right side pants pocket.

This case is fixed for hearing on September 5.

A rebounding Comfort Sleep resumes its humanitarian acts to the needy COMFORT Sleep, local lead manufacturers of foam mattresses and pillows, has ventured into two humanitarian acts, bringing joy to the hearts of the less fortunate.

Soon after coming back on stream following its ultimate devastation by fire last year, the company undertook its first humanitarian act of donating to Mr. Clive Richmond, who has been rendered handicapped after being hit by a motor car in the streets.

Incapacitated, indigent and unable to work, Richmond had resorted to begging in the streets, until a representative of Habitat for Humanity, Ms. English, intervened by approaching Managing Director of Comfort Sleep, Mr. Dennis Charran, with a request for a donation of a mattress and pillows.

At left in picture is Ms. Claudette Felix, receiving her mattress from Mr. Dennis Charran (at right)

‘Comfort Sleep Picture’: second from right is Clive Richmond, receiving his mattress and pillows from Managing Director of Comfort Sleep, Mr. Dennis Charran (second from left)

In his usual humanitarian style, Mr. Charran readily agreed, bringing joy not only to Ms. English and Mr. Richmond, but to his own heart as well.

And on August 11, 2014, Ms. Claudette Felix, a victim of a stroke, called Comfort Sleep, indicating her desire to purchase a mattress. Again, after learning of her predicament, Mr. Charran cheerily donated the mattress to her.

Both recipients have expressed gratitude to Mr. Charran, with the hope that his business would continue to grow from strength to strength under God’s guidance and protection. (Shirley Thomas)

Air traffic surveillance and monitoring capability to be boosted THE local aviation sector is now in a better position to manage its airspace and the safety of air traffic, as the Automatic Dependence Surveillance Broadcast Project was launched on Thursday by Transport Minister, Robeson Benn, along with officials from the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA).

This project is part of the International Civil Aviation Organisation’s (ICAO) global plan for the seamless transition of flights through the world’s airspace.

At its launch, Minister Benn said the project is indeed a significant achievement for the transport sector, moreso the aviation sector, as the demands have been growing over the years.

“It may have not been particularly noted that our choice for this project over radar represents a saving of US$20 million.

This project afforded us that window of opportunity, as it went along with the ICAO standards in relation to flight monitoring and surveillance,” Minister Benn noted.

The Minister pointed out that this project now provides a more advanced means of air surveillance and air safety.

Currently, the aviation sector manages the air space while depending mainly on procedural activities, and heavily so on the engagement training of air traffic controllers on radio sets.

Against this backdrop, Minister Benn said this new monitoring system represents a great leap forward to a new level in regard to the aviation sector managing its air space and traffic.

“We know it has been implemented in other countries, and it affords seamless interface between other countries as it will allow for efficient, safe and comprehensive operation and a better overall management of the air safety control,” the Minister posited.

Minister Benn also welcomed this initiative against the

backdrop that, over the years, there has been a significant increase in domestic flights in the local airspace, as well as increase in international air traffic.

Robeson Benn

“I’m pleased that, by the end of this year, we would have more than doubled the number of operating assets in terms of air traffic; and we have to manage those operations,” Minister Benn said.

Hence, he deemed it important to boost the surveillance

and safety capabilities of the sector; moreso on the domestic level, as this would further ensure the domestic space remains safe, efficient and economical.

Minister Benn further encouraged those in the sector to make optimum use of the system.

Meanwhile, the GCAA Chairman, Mr. Zulfikar Mohamed, who gave an overview of the system and its operation, noted that the project was in the making since 2008, as the sector was working towards further enhancing its capabilities.

“Since we were formed, it was always our intention to modernise the air navigation services; and it would be in requirements of having up-to-date, state-of-the-art equipment to replace those that we have that are pretty much outdated; and then again, to keep abreast of technology and further to develop our capacity and capability in providing air traffic and air navigation service to the local and international operation,” Mohammed said.

He noted that the demand for improved capability grew as, over the years, and moreso over the last decade, air traffic in Guyana has more than doubled.

While all the components for the maximum utilisation of this project are not in place, already several critical pieces of equipment have been sourced.

“In 2008, we replaced several (pieces of) equipment that we had. We later acquired navigation equipment, landing equipment. To continue it (upgrade), we are introducing the surveillance equipment,” he disclosed.

Mohamed also pointed out that, with introduction of this system, Guyana is now on par with Australia, United States, Europe, Brazil, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and Peru.

The system will be fully operational within another three years, as emphasis will be placed on training of persons in the interim. (GINA)

DCEO says GECOM public relations exercise effective

By Vanessa Narine THE ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP) had last week reiterated its dissatisfaction with the public relations work done by the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) during the ongoing Claims and Objections period, which began on August 4 and ends next week.

“The People’s Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/C) remains dissatisfied with the poor public relations done by GECOM during the Claims and Objections period thus far,” the party said in a statement.

But Deputy Chief Elections Officer (DCEO) Mr. Vishnu Persaud told the Guyana Chronicle that the GECOM Secretariat has been implementing a comprehensive public education strategy, which commenced prior to the Claims and Objections exercise and is still ongoing.

“We have also provided numbers for people to call if they need any clarification,” he said, adding that “people have been using the hotlines when they need information.”

In addition to having placed advertisements in the newspapers and on the radio and television, GECOM has distributed flyers and has employed the use of public address systems, especially in the new housing schemes, to emphasise the need for relevant electors to apply for transfers.

He explained that any low response by persons not coming forward to do transactions associated with the Claims aspect of the exercise could very well be because the 6th cycle of continuous registration has recently concluded, during which persons were afforded opportunities to apply for new registrations, change/corrections and transfers.

The DCEO explained that persons who have changed their addresses since being registered are required to apply for transfers, but this is not mandatory. He said that,

notwithstanding the notices and advertisements published via the media and messages disseminated at grassroots level, relative to the need for relevant electors to apply for transfers during the ongoing Claims and Objections exercise, the response can be viewed as less than expected.

He maintained, however, that while it is GECOM’s responsibility to provide the opportunity for electors to apply for transfers, and to publicise this as widely as possible, the onus is on the relevant electors to so do. He said that, in this regard, political parties could play a role by encouraging their respective constituents to take the opportunity to apply for transfers, or conduct any other registration which may be applicable to them.

In respect to the allegation that persons who do not apply for transfers would be disenfranchised, Persaud assured that any person who is listed in the Official List of Electors is a bona fide elector, as that person is guaranteed the right to vote.

However, all voters will have to vote in the division/subdivision in which they are listed. So, if a voter has changed his or her address from one division/sub-division to another, he/she would have to go to the one where he/she is listed to vote, unless he/she applies for a transfer.

Persaud emphasised that “this Commission has (done), and will continue to do, everything within its mandate to ensure that no eligible voter is disenfranchised.

FAMILIAR LOCATIONS The DCEO explained that GECOM’s 27 permanent registration offices, established since 2005, and another added in 2013, are known to the persons in the 23 registration areas.

“The offices are known to the people in the respective registration areas. In our advertisements in the newspapers

and on the radio and television, we have appealed for eligible voters to go to the registration offices responsible for their respective areas to apply for relevant registration transactions.

“Further, we have mobile registration units operating in selected communities throughout the country,” Persaud underscored.

“This is exactly what we did in 2005 when we first introduced continuous registration,” he added.

Objections can be made for persons who had died, or who do not meet the eligibility requirements for inclusion on the Official List of Electors.

The Claims period will allow persons to do the following business, if needed: Register as a New Registrant, if he/ she would be 18 years old or older and if his/her name is Vishnu Persaud not on any of the GECOM Preliminary Voters’ Lists; Make changes and corrections to the information which is on the list for him/her; Move his/her particulars from one List to the List for the area where he/she is now living; Apply for a New ID Card to replace the one which was lost or misplaced; and Collect one’s National Identification Card, if this has not been done as yet, from the nearest GECOM office.

The claims exercise ends on Sunday, August 24, and the Objections period ends on Thursday, August 28.

GECOM’s hotlines are 225-0278/9, 226-6557 or 223-9650.

Police award Grade Six performers with cash/vouchers worth $4.2M

By Leroy Smith THE lion’s share of the Guyana Police Force’s Annual Bursaries and Awards for 2014 went to the following persons: Kelly Bacchus --$200,000; Brently Singh -200,000; Kelly Gurrick --$175,000; Avia Lowenfield --$150,000; Shania Smith --$135,000; and Garfield Dover --$115,000. They received the respective sums of money as special awards for their exceptional performance at the National Grade Six Examination (NGSA).

The other participants each received $25,000 along with a voucher to be cashed at the Police Consumers Co-op Supermarket on Robb Street in Georgetown.

Speaking at the event, held at the Police Officers’ Mess at Eve Leary in Kingston, Georgetown, Police Commissioner

Also addressing the gathering of awardees, as well as divisional commanders, parents, special invitees and senior and junior officers was Chief Education Officer, Olato

Sam, who encouraged parents to play meaningful roles in the lives of their children, and ensure that children are not left alone to study and undertake other academic ventures.

Police Commissioner (ag), Seelall Persaud and Assistant Commissioner (Administration) Balram Persaud with the six best performing students

Best Grade 6 performer, Kelly Bacchus, giving the vote of thanks (ag), Seelall Persaud said that, each year, the Force has been trying its best to increase the number of children it rewards for their performance; and come next year, children would likely be rewarded for successfully completing the Caribbean Secondary Examination Council exams.

Persaud said the Force would deliberate including CSEC performers for receipt of similar incentives, which serve as a motivation to the recipients to continue performing to the best of their respective abilities, while encouraging those who are young by what they see. He said that in addition to offering recognition for a job well done, the children see the rewards as a sign that their seniors have reposed confidence in them.

The Commissioner said that one of the most important factors which contribute to a child’s performance are the values he or she has instilled in him or her, because those values determine the directions the child wants to go, and where the child ends up.

The awards are also to assist parents in offsetting the burden of the economic expenses that usually come with starting a child in his or her first year at high school.

Ministry commends security operatives for finding coke craft

FOLLOWING the discovery of the self-propelled semi-submersible vessel (SPSS) in Region 1 (BarimaWaini) on August 14, 2014 by local authorities, the Ministry of Home Affairs on Wednesday night commended the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) and the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Special Forces, the Coast Guard and the Air Corps.

A press statement stated that the SPSS was found in a creek along the Waini River in the North West District.

It noted that it is the first time an SPSS was found in Guyana. The SPSS was built to transship tons of narcotics/contrabands smuggled into the country, possibly for onward movement through the northwest coast onto the trans-Atlantic route.

The release stated that the ministry applauded the work of the security operatives and reaffirmed its commitment to regional and international cooperation based on the principles of mutual respect in the fight against the world drug problem.

However, after the find, CANU in a press release last week said that the craft found in Region 1 was blue and was already fitted with a diesel engine and steering wheel, navigation and other machinery to deem it serviceable. However, no contraband was onboard the SPSS. During a search of one of the creeks branching off from the Waini, the vessel was discovered about two miles in, along with a camp consisting of three structures – accommodation, workshop area and generator. The accommodation had the capacity to accommodate about 12 persons.

The vessel is the latest innovation in the decades-old drug war and President Donald Ramotar announced during a press briefing last week that agents of the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will help local

Unauthorised occupation of Government’s reserves is illegal THE Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development is reminding the public that unauthorised occupation of Government’s reserves is illegal.

Following the commencement of work within the community of West Ruimveldt, under the “CleanUp My Country” programme, the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development is seeking the cooperation of residents in removing all encumbrances along Government’s reserves.

These encumbrances and squatters are some of the main hindrances affecting the pace of the cleanup up programme.

Head of CANU, James Singh giving an update on the self-propelled semi-submersible vessel (SPSS) which was found in Region 1 (Barima-Waini) on August 15 yesterday said that the vessel was seized and experts from overseas have arrived here and are carrying out a

probe.

He said forensics checks were made and the vessel will be moved to an area that is more secure where further examinations can be done since its present location isn’t fitting for a proper probe given the account of the safety and security of persons there.

Singh stated that forensics tests will determine the design as it relates to what was found in other countries like the engine, the shape, capacity etc, giving them a better understanding rather than saying we found a SPSS, we can now say the vessel is capable of crossing the Atlantic Ocean and so forth.

He disclosed that the SPSS was fully constructed here in Guyana and it was ready to move from its location to collect a quantity of contraband for another location and operations are ongoing and more than five persons are being questioned since it is happening out of town, too much information cannot be divulged.

Singh said, “We are trying to determine who built it, where they came from and other basic things to trace its link here.”

Responding to questions, Singh pointed out that the fact that they found the vessel doesn’t indicate that we are not doing enough and the vessel was fully outfitted and a camp was also found there and in more developed countries they also have found such a vessel.

He told reporters that the Government remains committed in strengthening the relevant agencies to fulfil its mandate and their operations are based on information gathering and intelligence.

Singh stated that the fact that they came upon the vessel indicates they are working with the resources at their disposal and are also utilising inter-agency collaboration for the desired achievement.

The Gaza War: A Caucus Race “THEY began running when they liked, and left off when they liked, so that it was not easy to know when the race was over,” as Lewis Carrol put it in Alice in Wonderland. He was describing the Caucus Race, but it sounds quite a lot like the Gaza War, doesn’t it? What's different is that at the end of the Caucus Race, the Dodo Bird declared: “Everybody has won, so all must have prizes.”

After ten days of moreor-less cease-fire, they’re at it again. In the first 24 hours, 137 Palestinian rockets were launched at Israel (no casualties), and 92 Israeli air strikes hit Gaza (11 dead).

That’s pretty small beer in a war that has already killed more than 2,000 people, but they literally don’t know how to stop, and the Dodo Bird is no help at all. The fact is that nobody has won, so nobody can have prizes.

T h a t ’s w h a t t h e negotiations in Cairo were actually about: prizes.

Hamas’s leaders in Gaza were demanding an end to the Israeli blockade of the territory and the opening of air and sea ports in the Gaza Strip. They also wanted over 200 Hamas members in the West Bank who had been arrested just before the start of this war to be released.

They might as well have asked for the Moon.

Hamas has fired almost 6,000 of its homemade rockets at Israel since the start of the war, but it has killed only two Israeli civilians (plus one Thai guest-worker). It is not even a serious danger to Israel, let alone an existential threat. So why would any sane Palestinian negotiator think that Israel would feel compelled to make major concessions to Hamas?

border.

The Palestinians doubtless think that killing more Israeli soldiers than in the previous two wars combined, was some sort of success, even if they lost many more fighters themselves, but in the real world it does not give them any military advantage. So no concessions from either side of any kind.

This was quite foreseeable from the first day of the war, because that’s the way the last two wars ended too. They have all been fought mainly to serve the domestic political interests of the two governments, rather than to force real concessions out of the other.

UN's Ms. Navi Pillay said an attack on a Gaza beach H a m a s ’s s t r a t e g i c that killed several children may have violated situation is peculiar: it is humanitarian law very weak and cannot hurt Israel, but it is virtually disarmed.

government cannot ignore.

Then the Israeli government, under irresistible domestic pressure to “do something”, launches some air-strikes, and the dance of death recommences.

Stopping is more difficult, because there’s no music to give you the signal by coming to an end. In terms of domestic politics, both sides have already accomplished what they came for – but since neither can acknowledge publicly that that’s all the war was really about, they end up raising wholly unrealistic demands at the cease-fire talks. That’s why the negotiations in Cairo ended in failure: nobody has won, so nobody can have prizes.

Now that the shooting has started up again, there may be a few more hundred deaths – but probably not another thousand, because the fighting really is going to end soon. It just won’t end with a political deal, and perhaps not even with a formal cease-fire. More likely it will just sort of peter out, like these things sometimes do. Until next time.

BERBICE MATTERS With Jeune Bailey Van Keric

Three remanded family members charged with attempting to murder inmate BROTHERS Ramnarine and Nesham Jagmohan, aged respectively 28 and 23 years old, together with their uncle Jerry Jagmohan, appeared before New Amsterdam Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus charged with attempted murder committed on fellow inmate Tameshwar Khemraj, called ‘Rambo’, within the walls of the New Amsterdam Prisons. They were all refused bail.

Particulars of the offence dictate that on June 15 last, within the New Amsterdam Prisons, they unlawfully and maliciously wounded Tameshwar Khemraj, known as ‘Rambo’, with intent to commit murder.

Ramnarine and Nesham Jagmohan, like Tameshwar Khemraj, aka Rambo, are remand prisoners facing a joint charge of murder stemming from the death of Davindra Deodat. Their uncle Jerry Jagmohan is remanded on a carnal knowledge

charge. The men were friends and were known to each other for over ten years.

The Jagmohans and Khemraj were housed in separate calls in the New Amsterdam Prison.

On June 15 last, following a misunderstanding that had occurred two days before, the Jagmohans allegedly armed themselves with improvised ‘juckers’ and a knife, and attacked Khemraj as he exited his cell on the Number Three Landing.

Stemming from that attack, Khemraj received several stab wounds about his body, including to his hands and feet, and was hospitalised.

When the case was called before New Amsterdam Magistrate Sherdel Marcus Isaacs, the virtual complainant was not present in court. The case was, however, fixed for report on September 23.

Alleged wife killer Ramdhani Persaud to face another PI AMERICAN citizen, Ramdhani Persaud, called ‘Prack’, who was committed to stand trial at the Berbice Assizes for the murder of his w i f e , 4 3 - y e a r- o l d Bibi Shemdeen Kirodeen, aka Sharmilla, had the committal quashed by Chief Justice Ian Chang because of a procedural error made by the magistrate; and the Chief Justice ordered that the Preliminary Inquiry into the murder be recommenced at the lower court.

As a result, Ramdhani Persaud appeared before N/A Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus, and was not required to plea to the indictable charge of murder.

Persaud is alleged to have murdered his wife at their Canefield Settlement, East Canje, Berbice home on March 20, 2012, ending a spate of domestic violence.

A magistrate had placed the defendant on a one-year bond for assaulting his wife a mere few months before the fatal incident, when the late Sharmilla was discovered in a

pool of blood by her younger son, whom she had moments before called for help.

Ravendra, then aged 13 years, was on the upper flat of the twostorey building when he heard his mother pleading for help; and running to the lower flat, which houses a bedroom and a grocery shop, he observed that the bedroom door was locked, but saw his father hurriedly putting

items in a bag.

He retreated to the upper flat, closed the adjoining door behind him, and called his maternal uncle, telling the relative, “Come! Daddy stab up Mammy!”

Persaud and Kairodeen had lived together for twenty years, during which they had parented two teenage sons – Dharendra, then 16, and Ravendra, then 13.

Prisoner charged with raping remand inmate KRISHENDAT Seeram, a prisoner remanded for robbery-under-arms, is alleged to have raped (not sodomised) a forty-year-old fellow remand inmate of the New Amsterdam Prisons and resident of the Amerindian Reservation of Orealla, Upper Corentyne, Berbice. The act is alleged to have been committed within the walls of the New Amsterdam Prisons on June 25 last.

Seeram appeared before New Amsterdam Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus to answer the offence, and was admitted to $150,000 bail.

Police Sergeant Godfrey Playter, prosecuting, said that Seeram, of Lot 341 Yakusari North, Black Bush Polder, Corentyne, had engaged in sexual penetration of the alleged victim without the alleged victim’s consent.

He said that on the day in question, the men were in a cell when an-

other prisoner held the complainant in a vice whilst the defendant allegedly removed the complainant’s pants and committed the act without the complainant’s consent.

The complainant was taken to the New Amsterdam Hospital, where a medical practitioner confirmed that he had been sexually violated.

The case will be recalled on September 8, when statements are expected to be filed.

Seeram’s alleged victim had himself been remanded following a charge of attempted rape when the incident occurred behind the walls of the New Amsterdam Prison. The complainant reportedly told prison wardens of the dastardly act a day after it had allegedly been committed, and after he was experiencing much discomfort. He confessed that he was greatly ashamed to reveal the incident.

Greater precautionary measures needed to stave off chikungunya virus - Chief Medical Officer

A GINA Feature CHIEF Medical Officer, Dr. Shamdeo Persaud has confirmed that Guyana has recorded a total of 76 cases of the chikungunya disease from approximately 250 samples that were sent to the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) in Trinidad and Tobago.

The disease is not associated with high fatality, as overall, there have only been three chikungunya-related deaths recorded in the Caribbean.

The CMO said that based on reports coming from health facilities across the country, there are 580 suspected cases. However, there may be milder forms of the disease in some areas. Some of the samples sent to CARPHA

are still to be tested (the lab conducts testing for other Caribbean countries as well).

The situation in Guyana in terms of the disease is not much different from CAR-

it from becoming a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Wearing protective clothing and using repellents and mosquito nets are also effective measures.

FOGGING At present, fogging cycles are ongoing in parts of Regions 6, 5 and 4. These exercises are still to commence in Regions 3 and 10 as a result of a number of factors including the weather and availability of adequate personnel.

Dr. Persaud explained that the same vector control unit that is in charge of the fogging exercise is also tasked with the management of malaria, another mosquito-borne disease, in Guyana, and this unit is very stretched at this point in time.

Six Tips for Safe Handling of Diseased Swine

LIKE any other livestock, swine is also prone to diseases and diseased animals and carcasses must be handled with extreme care so as to contain any spread that might occur.

This week’s Environmental Tips will inform you on how to effectively handle diseased swine carcasses.

Tip 1: Prevention is better than cure

Take proper care of animals. Proper care of animals will aid in the prevention and reduction of animal deaths and disease prevention.

Tip 2: Wear Protective Clothing

Every person handling condemned carcasses should be properly equipped with the necessary protective clothing such as gloves, long boots, apron, respirator and other safety gear.

Tip 3: Practice Proper Disposal of Animals

Dispose of carcasses by burial, either on land owned and or controlled by the farmer or at a site approved by relevant authorities, such as the area designated by the NDC. It is advised that the burial area should be at a site with clay soil which can be easily reached by machinery that can move soil/ earth. The burial site should also be at least 100 m away from houses and water resources to avoid contamination by vapour or filtrate from buried, decaying materials.

Tip 4: Use Disinfectants

Disinfect pens where condemned carcasses are found.

Also, disinfect cloth-

ing and other gear worn by the person(s) doing the disposal.

Tip 5: Use Lime or Quick Lime

The use of lime or quicklime when burying carcasses is advised. It is advisable to use a layer of lime or quicklime below and above a carcass in order to accelerate the decomposition process. Overuse of lime should be avoided.

Tip 6: Use Regularised Incineration Facilities

19

Incineration should only be conducted in permitted facilities operating under national and or international recognised standards for pollution prevention and control.

Practice these six tips for safe handling of diseased swine on a pig farm to reduce loss of animals and reduce spread of disease to other non-infected stock Share your ideas and questions by sending letters to: “Our Earth, Our Environment”, C/o EIT Division, Environmental Protection Agency, Ganges Street, Sophia, Georgetown; or email us at eit.epaguyana@gmail.com.

He spoke specifically to sporting facilities in Albuoystown and Agricola, and to the skills training complex in Rosemary Lane (Tiger Bay).

Among the other successes pointed to in the work the police are doing in Albouystown is the coming on board of several professionals, who have undertaken to sponsor children and their school needs in its entirety. There are also feeding programmes to which the police are contributing.

The Commissioner said that among the things being looked at before the rolling out of any programme in that community is the very critical issue of resource requirements. Nevertheless, the police do see the need to get into the community, Persaud admitted.

East Coast man wins Toyota Runx in Guyana Festival promotion

By Sandy Agasen

THE Guyana Festival Committee on Thursday handed over a Toyota Runx, to the lucky winner of the Guyana Festival Gate Prize, Mahadeo Singh of Unity, East Coast Demerara.

The handing over ceremony was held in front of the Ministry of Tourism, Trade and Commerce, located at 229 South Road, Lacytown, Georgetown.

Tourism Minister (ag), Irfaan Ali said the event was a grand success and will mark the journey to the next festival. The Minister noted that the coupons were placed in the Guyana Festival Passport.

He also indicated that this promotion was sponsored by R MAYE Hardware, Guyana Incorporated, located at 477 Plantation Site, Providence, East Bank Demerara.

Minister Ali added that the Guyana Festival attracted the support of corporate Guyana in a tremendous way. “I thank all the sponsors, because without them the grand success of the Guyana Festival would not have been possible. It repre-

Representing R MAYE Hardware, Roshini Ravina Maniram, Assistant Manager, explained that the com-

pany had committed to this promotion, and is presenting the car to the lucky winner.

She also encouraged customers to visit the company to obtain hardware items at

best prices.

The winner of the Toyota car, Mahadeo Singh, told Guyana Chronicle that the day after the Guyana Festival had concluded, he

received word that he had won the car.

“I was excited! I can’t explain how I’m feeling.

When I got the call from the Deputy Permanent Secre-

tary, I screamed. This is the first time I (have ever) won anything. My family is very happy. It will help us a lot.

Purchasing a car on your own is a completely different feeling from winning,” he said.

Also present was his wife, Maharani Singh, who told the Guyana Chronicle that winning a car is beyond her dreams. She said, “When I saw the coupons I was hoping that we win.

When we got the call I was speechless.”

The key to the Toyota Runx was presented to the Singh family by Chief Protocol Officer, Vick Persaud, from the Office of the President.

The ‘Sound, Soul and Taste’ of Guyana was presented to the world through a spectacular display of art, craft, dance, drama, music, and cuisine. It attracted multiple thousands to the venue to indulge in the treats available, and to delight in the cultural atmosphere.

For the first time ever, the fusion of six cultures which make up the whole Guyanese experience collided to form a cultural melting pot reflecting Guyanese diversity.

Artiste/performer Jomo ‘Rubber Waist’ Primo releases new video and song

By Michel Outridge LOCAL performer and artiste Jomo “Rubber Waist” Primo, who has been making strides in the music industry, released a new video and song titled “Drop” yesterday.

This song would also be released in Jamaica and in several Caribbean countries, Primo said yesterday during an interview at the Guyana Chronicle.

He added that the song was recorded in Guyana, was produced by Fojo, and that the video was shot and produced by Genesis, a local rapper.

Primo, who recently returned to Guyana following a month-long tour to the United States and Canada, also performed at the recently concluded Guyana Festival which was held at the Guyana National Stadium at Providence, East Bank Demerara.

He said the soca song video was shot at Monaco nightclub, Umbrella Resort and Splashmins, and noted that it features hardcore dancehall style dancing, which is very different from the other genres in that it highlights the party mode of Guyanese in a subtle and viewer-friendly way.

Primo said he is expected to travel to Jamaica next month,

and there is a lot going on in ‘Jomo’s camp’, since he is getting ready for 2015 Carnival/Mashramani, after releasing his groovy soca song earlier this year.

He is currently working on a ‘power number’ song labelled “Part of the crowd”, which is a soca piece with crazy vibes and energy that will prompt people to dance, since the idea of that song is for sheer enjoyment while dancing to it.

Primo told this publication that he is also releasing fresh music in December this year – a reggae piece and a medley video with himself and other local artistes in a new video, called “Screw Face”.

Jomo’s drive to succeed in the music scene has prompted him to push forward, and when asked what next to expect, he said that where he is concerned (with him), one has to expect the unexpected.

He said he is also moving to perform Rhythm and Blues songs, which are geared towards showcasing his versatility and at the same time not taking away from his unique style.

Primo said that with the music scene being somewhat stagnant in Guyana presently, he plans to continue working towards promoting his music both locally and overseas, because he wants to make things happen for him here also, since Guyana is his homeland.

Rajendra Prabhulall in Essequibo

African bees create mayhem at La Belle Alliance on Essequibo Coast TWO children from La Belle Alliance village on the Essequibo Coast were rushed to the Suddie Hospital on Tuesday afternoon after they were attacked by a swarm of angry African bees, while retrieving a cricket ball from an abandoned house that is covered with bushes.

Reports detail that the two children were playing cricket in a yard when one of them hit the ball into a clump of bushes that has taken over the abandoned house, thereby disturbing the bees. When the two children rushed to the abandoned house to begin the search for the ball between the bushes, the bees attacked them.

The two children reportedly began screaming and running away from the house with hundreds of bees in hot pursuit. Several residents who heard the screams of the children rushed to the scene to render assistance, but had to run for cover as the bees began to attack them as well.

Residents reportedly managed to rescue the two children, while many others had to dive into trenches to escape the killer bees, which attacked several cows that were tied near the abandoned house to graze. One cattle owner said his two cows that were tied somehow pulled themselves free from the iron pipes they were tied to after the bees began to sting them. The farmer said the cows ran to the public road without looking back.

Several other animals within the vicinity of the enraged bees’ attack were also stung several times, and ran for their lives in all directions.

Reports are that the two children who were first attacked by the bees fell down almost lifeless, and were rushed to the Suddie hospital and admitted.

Meanwhile, the community is calling on the Ministry of Agriculture to eradicate the dangerous bees from the abandoned house before someone is stung to death.

Region 2 administration commended for taking measures to avoid mud getting onto E/bo roadway APNU’s Councillor on the Region 2 Democratic Council, (RDC) Mr. Prince Shepherd, at a recent special meeting of the RDC, commended the Region 2 Administration and Regional Chairman, Mr. Parmanand Persaud for putting sand and loam on several access dams in the rice growing areas along the Essequibo Coast, to prevent mud from getting onto the surface of the public road.

Mr. Shepherd said the Sparta dam was one area where tractors were always dumping mud on the road after coming out from the backdam, and the intervention of the Regional Chairman to do that part of the surfacing of the dam with sand and loam has changed that situation.

Responding to Councillor Shepherd, the Chairman said more dams would be done with sand and loam during the year, once funds are available; and several cross dams would also be done so as to avoid mud from being dumped on the public road by tractors coming out from the backdam.

Bolt breaks 10 seconds...

The world record holder beat the previous unofficial indoor best mark of 10.05 set by Namibian Frankie Fredericks in 1996.

Bolt anchored Jamaica to 4x100m gold at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow last month and last weekend won an exhibition race on Brazil’s Copacabana beach in a time of 10.06.

His nearest rival in Warsaw was fellow Jamaican Sheldon Mitchell, who ran 10.33, but in Zurich he will face three sub-10 sprinters plus Britain’s European 200m champion Adam Gemili.

‘Biggie’ Small...

“My intention is to give Guyana its first-ever gold medal at the Olympics.

It may sound like wishful thinking to some but I have been working hard and I believe in myself.

Guyana has a rich boxing history and I want to be part of that history,” Small declared.

The younger brother of former WBC cruiserweight champion Wayne `Big Truck’ Braithwaite has been hard at work at the worldrenowned Gleason Gym in New York which signalled commencement of a plan to bring home honours to Guyana.

Based in Wisconsin, the Plaisance-born fighter moved to the USA fourteen years ago. He recently shifted camp to Brooklyn to sharpen training and has been turning heads in the gym, at times forcing his big brother into reverse gear during sparring sessions.

Dillon Carew, a former national junior middleweight champion, now a trainer at Gleason’s believes that the future is bright for Small. “He is very good, very strong and very dedicated. One of the best that I have seen so far,” said Carew.

These sentiments were echoed by patriotic Guyanese Seon Bristol who has supported the sport for decades. “I am mesmerised by this young man’s

dedication.

“He is such a hard worker, punches like a truck and is focused.

Once he keeps this up he would not only be an Olympic medallist but also a professional world champion,” Bristol opined.

Small had eyes set on representing Guyana at the just concluded Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, but he encountered problems while renewing his Guyana passport.

With the Commonwealth Games now behind him the power-puncher has set his sights on bigger fish. “The Olympics, Pan American Games; I want to be in all if possible. I train hard and I fight hard. I do the best I can and want the best for my country,” the super heavyweight giant stated.

Although boxing had remained in his heart Small was engaged in another sport just a few years ago in Indiana.

“I was once a college Division One football player. After playing college football I kind of let myself go and ballooned up to over 400 pounds.

I was eating everything and I just put on a large amount of weight. It took a lot of hard work to get myself down to what I am now,” Small disclosed.

Graduating with a degree in Arts and General

From back page Studies from the University of West Illinois, Small turned to the fistic sport soon after.

“Right now my record is 6-1. I have participated in the Golden Gloves and in my first amateur fight I was able to defeat a guy who had over 100 fights. I said there and then that I was making boxing my career. I always wanted to be a boxer.

However, I was given an opportunity to get free education through a scholarship so I took up football first in Indiana. It was an opportunity that I couldn’t give up.”

Small was recently introduced to president of the Guyana Boxing Association Steve Ninvalle in New York. According to Ninvalle, Small is a huge find for the association.

“We at the association level are indeed happy that Mr Small has indicated his willingness to represent Guyana,” Ninvalle said.

The GBA president noted that Guyana is currently without a super heavyweight and labelled Small “fresh air” to the sport. “I am convinced that he (Small) would do big things. We are currently assisting in sorting out issues relating to his passport and once that is out of the way he will be invited to represent Guyana at international competitions,” Ninvalle added.

Maqsood, Alam stand tall as Pakistan win tense chase (REUTERS) - Sohaib Maqsood and Fawad Alam struck quick-fire fifties and combined in a record 147-run sixth-wicket stand as Pakistan defeated Sri Lanka by four wickets with one ball remaining in the first one-day international at Hambantota yesterday.

Shahid Afridi (14 not out) hit a boundary off Nuwan Kulasekara as the visitors, chasing 275 in 45 overs in the rain-hit match, reached their DuckworthLewis revised target to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews earlier bailed his team out of trouble with his highest one-day international score as the hosts made 275 for seven in their 45 overs after Misbah-ul-Haq had won the toss and put Sri Lanka in under overcast conditions.

Pakistan looked dead and buried at 106 for five in the 23rd over but Alam (62) and Maqsood (89 not out) consolidated the innings and then launched a counterattack to throw the Sri Lankan bowling into disarray.

The partnership in 117 balls also eclipsed Pakistan’s previous best for the sixth wicket of 144, also against Sri Lanka in 1983, by Imran Khan and Shahid Mahboob.

The stand ended when Alam was caught at third man by Ashan Priyanjan off Lasith Malinga with Pakistan needing 22 off three overs but Maqsood, who bettered his previous best ODI score of 73, and Afridi ensured there were no further hiccups.

Maqsood survived two run-out chances and wicketkeeper Kumar Sangakkara also missed a stumping chance against him

Sohaib Maqsood stays unbeaten for his 73-ball 89 and gives Pakistan a thrilling last-over win against Sri Lanka in the first ODI in Hambantota.

off Rangana Herath’s leftarm spin.

Pakistan openers Ahmed Shehzad (49) and Mohammad Hafeez (21) made a brisk start in their chase and it was left to allrounder Mathews to break the 39-run partnership.

The medium-pace bowler first dismissed Hafeez leg-before then sent back experienced Younus Khan (three) when the batsman attempted a sweep from outside off stump but was caught by Kulasekara at the fine leg boundary.

Shehzad and wicketkeeper-batsman Umar Akmal (15) fell to all-rounder Thisara Perera before captain Misbah edged left-arm spinner Herath to Sangakkara behind the stumps as Pakistan were reduced to 106 for five.

Sri Lanka themselves were reeling at 75 for four

when Mathews (89) joined Mahela Jayawardene (63) at the crease and the duo curbed their attacking instincts and milked the Pakistan bowling to add 116 for the fifth wicket and prop up the innings.

Mathews, who hit nine fours and two sixes during his 85-ball knock, missed out on his maiden century when he was bowled by Wahab Riaz, who took three for 50, while looking for quick runs towards the end of the innings.

Priyanjan’s quick-fire 39 off just 15 deliveries gave Sri Lanka good acceleration towards the end as the hosts added 60 from the last five overs and 105 from the last 10.

Pakistan paceman Mohammad Irfan, coming back after a long absence due to injury, used his height to extract steep bounce off the pitch and troubled the batsmen to pick up two wickets for 48 runs.

Arsenal salvage late Everton draw, Chelsea win

By Mike Collett LONDON, England (Reuters) - Arsenal showed the resilience that could underpin a Premier League title challenge when they scored twice in the closing minutes to draw 2-2 at Everton after the home side largely dominated the match yesterday.

Aaron Ramsey tapped in after 83 minutes and substitute Olivier Giroud planted home a header in the 90th to cancel out the lead Everton held after a first-half header from Seamus Coleman and Steven Naismith’s second on the stroke of halftime.

Chelsea, who beat Leicester City 2-0 at Stamford Bridge with goals from home debutant Diego Costa and Eden Hazard, and Swansea City, who sank Burnley 1-0 at the Liberty Stadium, head the early season standings with six points.

Arsenal stayed third with four points from two games, although their run of six successive league victories, which started after they lost

3-0 at Everton in April, came to an end.

In yesterday’s other matches, West Ham United won 3-1 at managerless Crystal Palace, while the games between Aston Villa and Newcastle United, and Southampton and West Bromwich Albion ended goalless.

Tottenham Hotspur, who host Queens Park Rangers, and Hull City, who welcome Stoke City, both today, can also move on to six points after winning their opening games as can champions Manchester City and runnersup Liverpool, who meet tomorrow.

DESERVED POINT Arsenal’s late Goodison Park rally was the second time this season they had scored late, after Ramsey’s 90th minute strike gave them a 2-1 win over visiting Crystal Palace last week.

It was also the second successive week Everton had conceded a late goal which denied them victory after allowing hosts Leicester City to equalise

and force a 2-2 draw in their opener.

(Credit: Reuters/Andrew Yates) Wenger told Sky Sports: “It is a strong point because we were 2-0 down but a deserved one.”

He said the turning point was the introduction of Giroud for their new £35 million striker Alexis Sanchez at halftime.

“I thought we would dominate the game through

who revealed Giroud had injured an ankle in the dying seconds and was a doubt for the Champions League playoff second leg against Besiktas on Wednesday.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez was naturally disappointed after conceding two late goals but said he was

otherwise pleased with the way Everton performed.

“Certain individuals ran out of legs at the end and Arsenal, as you would expect, threw everything forward and the third goal was going to be vital.

“Obviously it’s a disappointment but overall I am very pleased with the way we played.”

SECOND WIN Chelsea secured a second straight victory over a promoted team when they beat last season’s Championship (second division) winners Leicester City 2-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to second-half goals from Diego Costa and Eden Hazard.

Jose Mourinho’s side started the season with a convincing 3-1 win at Championship runners-up Burnley on Monday but yesterday’s triumph only came after a much improved second-half performance against resilient Leicester.

Mourinho was pleased with the way they improved after halftime, with Costa

scoring his second in two games after 63 minutes from eight metres and Hazard adding a second 13 minutes from time with a low shot after cutting in from the right.

“We didn’t play good in the first half,” Mourinho told Sky Sports. “Leicester came with great defensive intensity, trying to scare us on the counter-attack and we were a bit slow - slow in moving the ball and slow in thinking and we needed to change and we did that.

“The second half was complete control. Don’t forget they had a good chance with the result 0-0 but we had so many chances, so many opportunities to score, obviously we deserved the victory.”

Swansea, who opened their campaign with a first-ever league win at Manchester United last week, picked up another three points against a battling Burnley side.

The Welsh side played well and secured the victory when Nathan Dyer scored after 23 minutes.

Hemraj, Khan fire New York Blasters to convincing win NEW York Blasters ended their tour of Guyana in a blaze of glory with a convincing 24-run victory over Everest Masters in a specially-arranged T20 encounter, staged on Friday at the Everest Cricket Club ground, Camp Road, as part of the continuing 100th anniversary celebrations.

Led by an enterprising 102 retired from national middle-order batsman Chanderpaul Hemraj and 55 from fellow national Amir Khan, who were both guest players for the visitors, New York Blasters blasted a challenging 189 for seven in their allotted 20 overs.

Hemraj led the way with his fine knock which included six sixes and eight fours while Khan slammed five sixes and three fours. The two came together with the score at 36 for one and featured in a sparkling 136-run second-wicket partnership before they both retired.

PRESIDENT of Everest Cricket Club Stephen Lewis (left) hands over the winning trophy to manager of New York Blasters, Hafeez ‘Rockaway’ Ali. Sponsor Manniram Shew is at centre.

Stag Beer wins for four teams on opening night THE inaugural Ansa McAl/Stag Beer West Side 5-A-Side football tournament got off to an exciting start at the Vergenoegen Rice Mill tarmac last Friday.

With a large crowd in attendance, Stewartville Gunners, Woodcrest, Vergenoegen All-Stars and New Road Eagles were victorious in their games which marked the first time a tournament of such nature is being held on the ‘West Side’.

In the first encounter, Kwame Hyman scored two goals in the opening minute (30 secs, 56 secs) along with an own goal in the 19th minute for Stewartville Gunners to defeat Woodcrest 3–0.

The night’s second game was decided on a lone goal which came off the boot of Orlanzo Henry in the first minute for Vergenoegen AllStars to edge past Shattaville Pacesetters.

New Road Eagles, through Paul Rodney’s 8th-minute goal, upset a star-studded Tuschen Up-Top Youths (1-0) that featured the likes of Devon Millington and John ‘Brown Boy’ Waldron.

Meanwhile, in what was by far the evening’s most entertaining clash, Woodcrest rebounded from an early defeat on the night to beat Shattaville Pacesetters 4-2.

The tournament will continue on August 27, 29 and 31, and on September 3, 5 with the grand final on September 7.

The tournament winner will pocket $200 000; second through fourth places will go home with $100 000, $75 000 and $25 000 respectively.

Shaheed Mohamed was the best bowler with two for 21.

When Everest batted, Guyana middleorder batsman Ravindranauth Seeram rolled back the years with a vintage unbeaten 49 which included five massive sixes and two fours while Sahadeo Hardiouw struck two sixes and five fours in his 42 and Hemraj Garbarran three fours in 33. Mohin Seeram claimed two for 22.

Hemraj’s knock earned him the coveted man-of-the-match award.

The winning trophy was sponsored by Manniram ‘Packer’ Shew of Shew’s General Store of Leopold Street, Georgetown. Shew is also a Life Member of Everest Cricket Club and a popular dominoes enthusiast.

The visitors also took the opportunity to present trophies to the man-of-thematch and other top performers in the game as well as to hand over a set of cricket gear to the club.

Legendary retired Test umpire Douglas Sang Hue dies at 82 RETIRED West Indies (WI) cricket umpire Douglas Sang Hue died Friday morning after being ill for the past two months. He was 82.

The Clarendon-born Sang Hue passed away in his sleep at his home in Port Royal.

Sang Hue umpired in 31 Test matches in the West Indies between 1962 and 1981 and stood in a single One Day International (ODI) between the West Indies and Pakistan at Sabina Park in March 1988.

Sang Hue’s first assignment as a Test match umpire came in the fifth Test match between the West Indies and India at Sabina Park in 1962, the same year that he started his first-class umpiring career.

He also stood in the first Test match between the West Indies and New Zealand at Sabina Park in 1972, when Jamaican batting stylist Lawrence Rowe made his debut with a typically elegant 214 and 100 not out in a drawn match.

Sang Hue then became the first umpire to stand in all five Tests in a series in the West Indies during the tour by Australia against the Caribbean men in 1973.

He repeated the feat in the five-match series between the West Indies and England in

the Caribbean in 1974.

Among the many accolades he received was one from former Australia cricket captain Ian Chappell, who referred to Sang Hue as “the best umpire in the world”.

Chappell was motivated by the diminutive umpire’s fair officiating that characterised his career.

Cricket analysts who commented on Chappell’s view lauded the former Australia batting star for singling out Sang Hue, at a time when neutral umpires were not a part of the mix, and wide-scale decisions were made by hometown umpires that favoured the host teams.

After standing in the first Test match between the West Indies and Australia at the Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad & Tobago in March 1978, Sang Hue was attracted by World Series Cricket, organised by Australian television mogul Kerry Packer, at a time when many of the top stars in world cricket broke away from their established associations and joined the Packer establishment.

The Jamaican went ‘Down Under’ and officiated in four of six WSC ‘Super Tests’ later and also stood in two of the five ‘Super Tests’ in 1979 before shifting focus to the

West Indies and standing in three Tests of the 1981 series against England.

Former West Indies cricket umpire Johnny

Sang-Hue on and off the field of play.

“Douglas was my best friend. He was the most honest umpire I have ever known and he also was a good friend that anyone could have,” he said.

“I was honoured to stand in my first Test match with Douglas as at that time he was deemed the best umpire in the world. He was also highly spoken of by Ian Chappell, who was the captain of the Australian team,” Gayle added.

Gayle also said that Sang Hue will be missed by all.

“Douglas was just remarkable, he knew the game well and he was valuable to the game. He will surely be missed by all,” Gayle said.

And the Jamaica Cricket Umpires’ Association (JCUA) yesterday expressed its “deep regret” the passing of the legendary umpire, who it said The late Douglas Sang Hue be- remained a life member of the came the first umpire to stand JCUA up to the time of his passing. in all five Tests in a series.

It also added that during India’s 2013 tour of the West Gayle, who stood with Sang indies, the Jamaica Cricket Hue in many Test matches, Association, at an unveiling, including the 1972 run-fest named the umpires’ room between the West Indies at the northern end of the and New Zealand at Sabina Sabina Park grounds after Park, told the Jamaica umpires Sang Hue and the Observer that he treasured renowned Steve Bucknor. every moment spent with (Jamaica Observer)

Birmingham Bears edge out Lancashire in Edgbaston final Jamaican Jaheel Hyde wins the sprint hurdles title.

Jamaicans Hyde, Manley dominate with gold

Birmingham Bears celebrate winning the domestic T20 for the first time at Edgbaston, yesterday.

BIRMINGHAM Bears made home advantage count as they beat Lancashire by four runs at Edgbaston to win the T20 Blast.

Andrew Flintoff dismissed Ian Bell with his first delivery, but Laurie Evans hit 53 off 30 balls, including four sixes, to see the home side to 181-5.

Karl Brown made 55 in Lancashire’s run-chase, only for seamer Oliver Hannon-Dalby (3-31) to check their progress.

Flintoff hit two successive sixes in an unbeaten 20, but lost the strike in the last over as Lancashire ended on 1778.

Both sides went into the game looking to win their first domestic T20 crown - the Bears, then using the traditional Warwickshire

name, losing the inaugural final to Surrey in 2003 and Lancashire being beaten by Somerset two years later.

And the inclusion of Flintoff for the injured Kabir Ali after ending his four-year retirement from the game earlier this summer added an extra frisson of excitement to the contest.

The crowd did not have to wait long for the big allrounder to make an impact as he took the ball for the third over and former England teammate Bell immediately lofted a catch to Brown on the boundary edge.

Varun Chopra (30) and William Porterfield (31) steadied the innings, with Flintoff withdrawn after taking 1-20 in two overs, and Rikki Clarke made 27 before Evans and Chris

Woakes added 63 in five and a half overs to see the Bears to a challenging total.

Evans fell to the final ball of the penultimate over, bowled by Tom Smith (2-30), but Woakes ended the innings with two successive fours off James Anderson, whose four wicketless overs cost him 52 runs Lancashire made a useful start before Smith (19) was caught by Evans after getting a leading edge to a ball from Woakes, and Ashwell Prince, who made an unbeaten 72 in the semifinal win over Hampshire, played on to fellow seamer Boyd Rankin after making 30.

Hannon-Dalby claimed the vital wicket of England’s Jos Buttler, who edged to the keeper for 11, and there was a

NANJING, China (CMC) – Rising Jamaican star Jaheel Hyde grabbed his second global youth title this year when he streaked to victory in the sprint hurdles at the Youth Olympics here yesterday.

The 17-year-old had no equal, clocking a personal best 12.96 seconds to cross the line and take gold ahead of Henrik Hannemann of Germany, who was timed at 13.40 seconds and Korean Gyeongtae Kim who took bronze in 13.43.

For Hyde, the victory put the finishing touches on a fabulous year, following his capture of the 400 metres title at the World Junior Championships in Oregon, United States, last month. Last year, Hyde also won sprint hurdles gold at the World Youth Championships in Donetsk.

“To come here and win means the world to me because it now means I’ve won all the major gold medals in my age group; World Youth, World Junior and now Youth Olympics.

What more can I ask for?” an elated Hyde said following his victory.

Running out of lane six, Hyde emerged from a smooth start to be first to the opening

CRICKET QUIZ CORNER

Rafman Ali softball finals set for today THE Better Hope Community Centre ground is expected to come alive today with the hosting of the finals of the Rafman Ali softball tournament.

Regal Masters will battle Parika Defenders from 11:00hrs in the Over-40 final before two of the most decorated local teams, Regal and Wolf’s Warriors, battle in the Open finale.

Regal are the favourites but cannot take their opponents lightly.

Tony Ameerally, Longsord Klass, Mahendra

Arjune, Eon Abel and Yunnis Yusuf are expected to lead their batting while the likes of Mahendra Hardyal, Raymond Harper and Samuel Kingston will spearhead their bowling department.

Parika Defenders, on the other hand, have shown that they are capable of producing upsets. Their batting will be centred on Kabesh Persaud, Ramesh Rambharose and Mohamed Safie. Kenrick Persaud, Devanand Kannan and Mohamed Aslam are capable bowlers.

The Open final should be a keen contest since both teams possess some of the leading players in the sport. Regal will depend on the experience on Richard Latiff, the hardhitting Chien Gittens, Saraz Esau, Patrick Rooplall and all-rounders Mohamed Ayube and Privnauth Motilall. Their arch rivals Wolf’s Warriors line-up includes Amrit Rai, Vishnu Tammechandra, Azad Azeez, Safraz Karim, Narine Bailey and Khaimraj Ramsundar.

The winning team in the Over-

40 category will take home a trophy and $75 000 and the runners-up a trophy and $50 000. The victorious team in the Open division will take home a trophy and $100 000 and the second-placers, a trophy and $50 000.

The competition is being sponsored by Regal Stationery and Computer Centre, Rameez Electrical, Trophy Stall, David Poultry Farm, Better Hope/LBI NDC, Andrew Art, Shuttle Plus, Romel Sound System and Ralph and family.

hurdles, and then produced a near flawless performance to easily trounce his field.

The time bettered his previous best of 13.16 seconds set during the heats and the 13.13 seconds posted while winning in Donetsk.

“I am not surprised (by the time). My times in training suggested I would run this fast,” Hyde said.

“I was a bit nervous beforehand. That is just racing. I knew I had to follow my coach’s instructions, keep a cool head and win that gold medal.”

Jamaica picked up a second gold medal when Martin Manley raced to victory in the men’s 400 metres, winning in a time of 46.31 seconds.

The 17-year-old Manley made up for the disappointment of having bowed out at the semi-final stage at the World Junior Championship, as he beat Karabo Sibanda of Botswana into second in 46.76 seconds, with Bahamian Henri Delauze claiming bronze in 46.91 seconds.

“It means so much (to win). It takes a heavy burden off me,” Manley said.

The title adds to his 2013 World Youth success.

Genille Ifill departs tomorrow for Odessa College

By Rawle Toney NINETEEN-year-old Genille Ifill will leave Guyana tomorrow for Odessa Texas, where she will attend the Odessa College on a full scholarship.

Odessa College competes in the National Junior College Athletics Association (NJCAA) and Ifill, in an exclusive interview with Chronicle Sport, said that she’s excited to experience playing at another level and learning the game of basketball in an environment that’s fitting for her development in the sport.

The Plaisance native’s Scholarship is valued at US$42 500 and while NJCAA is the ‘baby’ of all the divisions in the United States, it is not one to be underestimated.

NJCAA schools are two-year terms and students/athletes normally then transfer to a four-year institute, primarily those that compete in the more notable division that fall under the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) and National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).

Research has shown that coaches from NCAA D1, D2 and NAIA levels would rather take a player from NJCAA than from outside of the U.S., simply because it gives them a chance to see athletes like Ifill, in the college sports setting, and see how they

adjust academically to the US school system.

“I’m happy that I can get a chance to also further my education and play basketball and also get to learn more about the game,” a relaxed Ifill said. The former Tutorial High School student pointed out that while she’s

aware it’s not going to be smooth sailing; she’s ready to accept whatever challenges lie ahead.

Despite Guyana’s miserable and embarrassing performance at this year’s Caribbean Basketball Confederation (CBC) Women’s tournament in the British Virgin

Guyana’s Genille Ifill is seen in action for Guyana against the Bahamas at the CBC tournament in the BVI.

Islands (BVI), Ifill stood out and even finished the tournament at fourth overall in the Blocks bracket, averaging 1.6 blocks per game.

Meanwhile her mother Esther Ifill said that she’s happy that her daughter’s hard work and dedication towards the sport is finally paying off, reflecting on the countless hours of practice and sacrifices made.

While Genille’s mother thanked Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF) president Nigel Hinds, she lauded Youth Basketball Guyana (YBG) co-Director Chris Bowman, along with coach Ann Gordon and former national standout Lugard Mohan for imparting the much-needed knowledge and elementary skills.

“I must thank Chris Bowman; he was the one who was with Genille since primary school with this basketball thing and then Lugard and Ann (Gordon) all worked with my daughter to ensure she excelled.

Everything for Genille is about basketball and I’m glad she can get a chance to at least chase her dream,” said Genille’s mother.

Ifill hopes to compete in the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA), rubbing shoulders with some of the best female players in the world, but for now, her feet are grounded in putting in the work needed to play with the likes of Skylar Diggins and Briann January.

LABA to ignore reported suspensions of Roberts and Webster … as clubs prepare SANCTIONS reportedly made by the governing Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF) on Retrieve Raiders power forward Dwayne Roberts and Amelia’s Ward Jets centre Shane Webster will not take effect when the Linden Amateur Basketball Association (LABA)-sanctioned Victory Valley Royals 8-Team Knockout Basketball championship starts next Friday in the mining town of Linden.

The two Linden players, along with the other members who made up the 12-member team to the last Caribbean Basketball Championships (CBC) in the British Virgin Island of Tortola were reportedly slapped with varying fines and suspensions for not returning their respective playing gear and uniforms.

When LABA met with its clubs at a General Council Meeting last Friday, the matter was raised on the eligibility of Roberts and Webster as it relates to their reported suspensions and fines.

Secretary of the LABA Joe Chapman reported to the members that while the information was circulated to the press one day after the GABF’s Ordinary Meeting on July 26, nothing was received by the association or the club and the players in question.

The LABA official said, “the association will not condone players being undisciplined, but at the same time there was not any official document about any player being suspended or fined from the GABF, and we want to know if procedures associated to the allegations against players were followed.”

Chapman opined that while the association is not going to uphold indiscipline there must be procedures to arrive at decisions which will affect the players, their clubs and associations. He said it was reported but to date nothing is with the association. Chapman said he was puzzled to know how an entire team could be so undisciplined knowing

the nature of some of these players reportedly suspended and fined.

Chapman also wanted to know which committee dealt with the allegations and queried if the players were given a hearing.

He said that the 8-team Victory Valley Royals tournament will be followed by the annual Trophy Stall Regulation Open League championship and the clubs will conclude their registration and affiliation with the association tomorrow (Monday) so that the fixture for the knockout tournament could be drawn.

The LABA secretary said he was told that there were several issues which have not been addressed relating before, during and after the CBC Championships to what eventually resulted in the players not returning their uniform and kit.

However, Chapman indicated that standing operation procedures (SOP) must be followed with the players

for Victory Valley KO basketball c/ship next weekend

asked to lead a defence.

Whether the players were told of this is another matter.

LABA president Mr Haslyn Graham, a vice- president of the GABF was among four executive members at the Ordinary Meeting, who deliberated on reports from the GABF management team to the championship and made the decisions. But Chapman noted Graham was acting on behalf of the federation and not LABA. The federation has not met at the General Council

level since elections earlier this year.

Retrieve Raiders, Kings, Amelia’s Ward Jets, Wismar Pistons, Bankers Trust Falcons, Wismar Pistons, Block 22 Flames and Half Mile Bulls have all shown an interest in participating in the Victory Valley Royals knockout tournament and the draw will be done after the relevant registration of players and club affiliation tomorrow at the MSC Lounge.

Eastman upstages field in Banks Malta Supreme feature event

HAMZA Eastman upstaged the field to win the feature event of the Banks DIH’s Malta Supreme-sponsored 11-race cycle programme, organised by national cycle coach Hassan Mohamed yesterday in the National Park.

Eastman and two others – Robin Persaud and Marlon `Fishy’ Williams - made a move with 15 laps of the 35-lap race remaining and were never seriously challenged and went on to win by one bicycle length from Persaud and a further length ahead of Williams.

From the start of the event which had eight official prime prizes up for grabs and a further 28 primes that were financed by cycling enthusiasts, the first 19 laps saw the lead interchange with Enzo Matthews taking the first prime prize but he quickly faded away as Raynauth Jeffrey came to the fore and dominated for two laps before he was overtaken by U.S.-based cyclist Horace Burrowes who surrendered the lead to Robin Persaud after two laps.

During the ninth lap, Michael Anthony jumped the pack and led for the other two laps before he was caught by the chasing

pack, led by Persaud, but Eastman caught up with him during the next lap and was followed by Anthony.

Christopher Holder then caught up with the leaders and together they worked in tandem until the completion of the 20th lap when Persaud, Williams and Eastman broke away from the pack and established a sizeable lead which they never relinquished.

During the following 15 laps, Williams led most of the way, but with one lap remaining, Williams jumped Eastman and Persaud from the 300-metre mark. Eastman responded and caught Williams rounding the final turn with Persaud in hot pursuit and as they straightened up for the finish, Williams had a slight lead on Eastman, who powered his way and passed Williams just before the finish line with Persaud just behind.

Paul DeNobrega outsprinted the main chasing bunch to place fourth while Jamal John and Mario King finished fifth and sixth respectively.

Of the eight official prime prizes that were up for grabs, Eastman who returned a time of one hour 15 minutes 46.26 seconds in winning the event, won two. Williams

also won two, Enzo Matthews two, and

HAMZA Eastma Persaud and Michael Anthony one each.

Narine cautions against taking

Bangladesh for granted ST GEORGE’S, Grenada (CMC) –West Indies off-spinner Sunil Narine has cautioned against taking Bangladesh lightly following his side’s crushing 177run victory in the second OneDay International (ODI) at the National Stadium on Friday.

The win seals the series two-nil for West Indies with the third and final match to be played at Warner Park in St Kitts tomorrow.

Narine, who triggered Bangladesh collapse for 77 all out, says home advantage is working for the regional side.

“I don’t think there is anything wrong with the Bangladesh batsmen.

They are very capable batsmen; it’s Sunil Narine (right) embraces Dwayne just our turn to be on top of the game. Bravo after another strike. (Picture “I think we have some rough courtesy WICB) games in Bangladesh where they had home advantage,” said they are rusty, the wicket is not as Narine, in reference to the last Bangladesh flat wickets .It’s a little series between the two sides in more giving so the bowlers.” which Bangladesh prevailed 3-2.

Narine, man-of-the-match, “So I think we are having grabbed three wickets for 13 runs, home advantage now so it is just including two wickets in two balls, to continue what we are doing and as Bangladesh made a disappointing try to build the momentum going attempt to chase down the 248-run into the Test series. I don’t think target set by West Indies.

Pacer Kemar Roach picked up three wickets for 19 runs including the wicket of opener Tamim Iqbal, the lone batsman to get into double figures with 37.

Chris Gayle led the Windies batting with a top score of 58, Darren Bravo scored 53, Lendl Simmons 40 and Denesh Ramdin 34.

“We are happy that we won the series but I think we have to take the last game as serious as the first and try to win a series without losing a game,” said Narine.

“We would love to start back on the winning note as we are doing here now. We just need to build on this momentum. Try to win a couple more games and win more series.”

Narine is predicting a higher scoring encounter when West Indies and Bangladesh meet in the third and final ODI at Warner Park tomorrow.

“St Kitts is a different track.

I think it is a more paradise for Bangladesh,” said Narine.

“I think it’s is going to be a highscoring game so I think we need to go out there and back ourselves.

It is a venue we are accustomed to and hopefully we can continue doing good.”

Adrian Sharma won the three-lap race for BMX Boys open ahead of Sherwin Forde and Kemuel Moses respectively.

Sherwin Sampson won the two-lap race for BMX Boys 9-12 years old ahead of Richard DaSilva. Sampson also won the BMX Boys two-lap race ahead of Jeremiah Harrison and Alexander Leung respectively.

Barbadian Smith signs up for Aussie Big Bash SYDNEY, Australia, (CMC) – Opener Dwayne Smith will turn out in the Australian Big Bash later this year after being snapped up by the Sydney Sixers, for the upcoming campaign in the glitzy Twent20 league.

The big-hitting right-hander, who last played in the Big Bash in 2009, is coming off an outstanding series in the just concluded Caribbean Premier League where he helped Barbados Tridents to the title.

“I’m looking forward to playing the games and I’m sure the players will be raring to win games too so I hope I can just get out there and put my team in good position or win games for them,” the 31-year-old Barbados and West Indies player said.

“I’m sure the pitches will play differently to places like the West Indies, India and other places like Bangladesh that I’ve played before so I’m raring to get over there and play for the Sixers.

“I’m going to come and give it my best and hopefully we can see plenty of sixes when it comes my turn to play for the Sixers.”

Smith plundered two centuries during the Barbados leg of the CPL, en route to finishing the tournament with 353 runs at an average of 44 and a strike rate of 133. He was predictably named in the Team of the Tour-

Dwayne Smith nament.

Earlier this year, Smith also starred in the Indian Premier League with a franchiseleading 566 runs for Chennai Super Kings. Only Robin Uthappa with 660 runs for champions Kolkata Knight Riders, scored more overall.

Sixers coach Trevor Bayliss believes Smith is a fantastic acquisition.

“Dwayne is a powerful exciting stroke maker at the top of the order,” Bayliss said.

“Since his last stay playing T20 for NSW, Dwayne has made a name for himself in the IPL as the second highest scorer and also hitting the second most number of sixers.

“He also bowls some handy medium pace and his fielding is top class.”

Smith has played 20 Tests, 91 ODIs and 29 T20s for West Indies.

‘Biggie’ Small - Olympian in the making GUYANA is on the verge of joining forces with arguably its heaviest boxer ever. Twenty-fouryear-old amateur fighter Quincy `Biggie’ Small is just about to lace up gloves to represent the land of his birth with the intentions of breaking the 34-year-old Olympic medal drought.

He plans using his sixfoot, four-inch, 255-pound frame to drive home the fact that small is just his surname and has nothing to do with either his appetite for victories or his punch.
