Bare bacchanal at City Hall…

Tonsilitis claims put Deputy Mayor in tight spot - over selective use of microphone

By Ravin Singh WHEN Deputy Mayor Patricia Chase-Green yesterday refused to use the microphone during Council’s statutory meeting, relating that she has tonsillitis, the Chambers of City Hall once again erupted into a cacophony of confused voices.

Requested by the Mayor to read two bits of correspondence, the Deputy Mayor began her presentation with-

out the use of a microphone, leading Councillor Victor Sobers to request that she use the microphone, since her voice was not audible.

Sobers explained that he is seated some distance away from the Deputy Mayor, and her ingrained habit of constantly turning her back to the Council when making a presentation was exacerbating her inaudibility. He was accordingly requesting that she use the microphone

during her presentation.

Chase-Green refused his request with the rejoinder that she was “not a councillor” and Sobers could not “instruct her to do anything”.

Then she resumed reading.

This drew Sobers to his feet again, and he demanded that Chase Green use the microphone, since he must be aware of what was transpiring. He said: “I am asking the Deputy Mayor to use the microphone so I can hear her…

Standing are Councillors Parbhodial Sattan (direct right); Victor Sobers (centre); Eon Andrews (left), during their altercation over the selective use of the microphone by the Deputy Mayor, which was defended

by Eon Andrews

Deputy Mayor Patricia Chase-Green finally decided to use the microphone yesterday

I will not stop [interjecting] unless she uses a mike.”

The Deputy Mayor again promptly refused, disclosing to the Council that she was suffering from tonsillitis and did not want to contaminate the microphone, since other persons would have to use it.

Someone shouted from across the room “Imaginary tonsillitis!” as Sobers reiterated his request, this time through the authority of the Mayor.

Asked to intervene, Mayor Hamilton Green said that Sobers’s request was not on a point of order, and was actually “out of order”; and Sobers was asked to take his seat, but refused, noting that he would not participate in a meeting where he is unaware of what is happening.

Mayor Hamilton Green then appealed to Councillor Eon Andrews to rise and deliver the presentation on behalf of the Deputy Mayor, which he did.

Later in the statutory

meeting, the Deputy Mayor would use the microphone to relate something to the Council, and be roundly criticised from those who had earlier unsuccessfully requested that she use the mike. ChaseGreen would even the score with the retort, “I seh I ain’t using the mike! None a dem cyant mek me use it!” as the meeting progressed.

At this point, Sobers was supported by Councillor Parbhodial Sattan, who said that Chase-Green was being selective in how she was using the microphone, and that the Mayor was tolerating that selectivity. Sobers also continued demanding that the Deputy Mayor use the mike to project an attack against the double-standard being encouraged by the Mayor.

“Little black boy go to school” would then be ChaseGreen’s comment to Sobers, who later labelled sections of the Council as being racial in their dealings, since he thought they were acting in their self interest and were “chastising” those who opposed them.

Councillor Hector Stoute then stood up to note that: “A house divided against itself cannot stand”.

He was hinting at the obvious division of councillors of the Georgetown Mayor and City Council.

APNU takes umbrage as...

Police arrest City Hall’s Royston King - haul him before the Court for fraud

By Geeta Rampersaud FORTY-nine-year-old Local Government officer attached to the Georgetown Mayor and City Council, Mr. Royston King, yesterday appeared before Magistrate Judy Latchman to answer a fraud-related charge.

King, of Lot 3279 Canal Place South Ruimveldt Park, Georgetown, was not required to plead to the charge, which said that on July 13, 2012, he wrote a letter to Beacon Foundation and signed same saying that he was Town Clerk Acting, which he was not at the said time.

ditions by the Court.

The Prosecution, which was led by Police Inspector Joel Ricknauth, did not object to bail, which was set at $70,000.

After his Court hearing, King was present at the City Council’s statutory meeting yesterday, which was held in City Hall’s Chambers.

The Main Opposition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), has since issued a statement condemning King’s arrest, and made clear that it stands in solidarity with him.

T h e P a r t y, i n i t s statement, said, “APNU strongly condemns the harassment of Mr. King

Royston King, in handcuffs, on his way to Magistrate Judy Latchman’s courtroom He was represented by attorneys-at-law, Ms. Kendacie Rodney and Mr. Nigel Hughes.

In a brief bail application, the Court heard that the defendant is a father of six, the youngest being 14 years old.

Rodney told the Court that her client has no prior convictions, and is not a flight risk, and that he is ready to abide with any con-

by agents of the People's Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) administration.

The people of the city of Georgetown want and demand local government elections. APNU affirms t h a t G e o rg e t o w n n e e d s elections and not politically-motivated arrests, and calls on the PPP/C Administration to bring to an end this type of political harassment.”

CALL FOR INVESTIGATIONS The fraud charge follows a call from Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Mr. Norman Whittaker, in April, for the Guyana Police Force and the Office of the Auditor-General to assist in investigations against King, the then Public Relations Officer of the Mayor and City Council (M&CC).

King allegedly misrepresented the capacity of acting Town Clerk, signing tax waivers for the Chairman of Beacons Foundation, Patrick de Groot.

According to a statement from acting Town Clerk of Georgetown, Carol Sooba, seen by this newspaper, the letter which King fraudulently signed regarded the exemption of payment of rates and taxes of the Beacon Foundation at 127 Carmichael and Quamina Streets, South Cummingsburg to the Georgetown Mayor and City Council in excess of some $36M. In circulated letters to the Auditor General and the Commissioner of Police, which this newspaper has seen, The Local Government Minister bemoaned that the power to exempt owners of certain properties from liability to pay rates is vested either wholly or partially in the Council and not in the Town Clerk or any other singular officer.

The dispute of the Town Clerk’s appointment has spanned over the tenures of three successive Local Government Ministers; Kellawan Lall, Ganga Persaud and Norman Whittaker.

The appointment of Royston King as the acting Town Clerk was also published on July 25, 2012.

However, it should be noted that King’s appointment was not in keeping with the provisions of the Municipal Act Ch28:01. In any case, King would have issued the missive to de Groot some 12 days before his announced appointment by the Council, without the consent of the minister.

According to a legal letter in 2011 from the Chambers of Legal Practitioners Luckoo and Luckoo, signed by Robert R. Ramcharran, “the power to appoint persons to hold or act in any local government office and the power to remove any such person from office shall (be) vested in the Commission [Local Government Commission]…”, this according to Chapter 28:01 Section 116(1).

The Act further provides that in the absence of any such commission, the powers of the Commission are duly vested in the Minister of Local Government & Regional Development.

The provision gives the Council the ability to select the most suitable candidates but the vested authority to appoint any office-bearer rested with the minister himself.

King gave all assurance in a letter, seen by this newspaper, to the Chairman of Beacon Foundation, Patrick de Groot, that in keeping with

the Municipal and District Councils Act, Chapter 28:01, section 212, Beacon Foundation had met the requirements to be granted exemption and further declared that “the council will have no objection to Beacon Foundation being granted exemption of Rates.”

However, he had not acted in this capacity by appointment of the minister and as such would not have been authorised to make such a decision in the absence of the approval of the Council.

CONFIRMATION At the start of July, the Office of the Auditor General was confirmed to be investigating King’s actions of King.

“We, at the Ministry [of Local Government and Regional Development] essentially asked the Auditor-General to conduct an inquiry to determine, indeed, if there was any irregularity,” Minis-

ter Whittaker said at the time.

Two weeks later, the Auditor-General, Mr. Deodat Sharma confirmed that the King’s case had been handed over to the police.

In an invited comment, Sharma told the Guyana Chronicle that the Audit Office found that there was a clearly established case for a police investigation. He further stated that the case had been handed over to the relevant authorities.

The Auditor-General confirming the alleged ‘fraudulent’ nature of King’s actions, said, “We [Audit Office] had received the information, [and] the police were asked to look at the matter… The case was very straightforward.

The matter is with the police … [and] the police have started their investigation.”

King is expected to return to Court on September 16 before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.

Michael Brown funeral: St Louis mourns Ferguson teenager HUNDREDS of people have attended the funeral for the black teenager killed by police in Ferguson, Missouri.

Mourners at the Friendly Temple Baptist Church in St Louis sang, prayed and remembered the life of Michael Brown.

Mr Brown, 18, who was unarmed, was killed on 9 August after being stopped by a white police officer for walking in the middle of the street.

His death sparked days of protests and violent clashes, but tensions appear to have eased in recent days.

Two poster-sized photos of Mr Brown were placed inside the church near the casket, along with another photo of him as a small child.

Those in the church sang, clapped and danced to gospel music before the service started.

Senseless killing' Mr Brown's family addressed mourners, describing Michael as a gentle soul.

His cousin, Eric Davis, said his generation had stood up to what had happened in Ferguson.

We have had enough.

We have had enough of having our brothers and sisters killed in the streets," he said.

"Hear our voice. We have had enough of this senseless killing."

Addressing the mourners, civil rights leader Rev Al Sharpton said people had a right to protest without police intimidation.

"America is going to have to come to terms when there's something wrong, that we have money to give military equipment to police forces, when we don't have money for training and money for public education," he said.

Missouri Governor Jay Nixon did not attend, while President Barack Obama sent three White House aides to represent him.

'There will be an uprising' The mood outside the church was peaceful and sombre, said BBC correspondent Rajini Vaidyanathan, in St Louis.

"We don't know the Brown family but our hearts empathise with them for their loss and the senseless violence," one mourner told the BBC. But there is still anger in Ferguson, which has a majority black population, after the shooting by police officer Darren Wilson - who is currently suspended on full pay.

"If Darren Wilson is not charged, there will be an uprising," another mourner said.

Michael Brown's parents (far left and right) have called for calm and no return to the violence that marked the days after their son's death

A grand jury panel of residents has begun hearing evidence in the case, though the country prosecutor has said the process could take until October.

Many residents have demanded that Officer Wilson should be arrested and prosecuted.

Witnesses have said Mr Brown was shot as he held his hands up in a position of surrender, while the police and supporters of Mr Wilson

have said he fired during a fight with Mr Brown.

The response by the authorities, who flooded the town with hundreds of officers in riot gear and brought in the national guard, has been criticised as heavyhanded.

The authorities were also criticised for not being transparent enough in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, when they refused to name the police officer

involved.

However, police also say the protests were inflamed by agitators who travelled to Ferguson from elsewhere, and that they responded to threats made against them and the firing of weapons from the crowd.

Ahead of the funeral, Michael Brown's father made a plea, his plea for calm. He said on Sunday: "Tomorrow all I want is peace." (BBC)

Ukraine President calls snap vote amid fighting UKRAINE'S president has dissolved parliament and called snap elections, as government forces continue to fight pro-Russian

rebel forces in the east.

Petro Poroshenko said many current MPs were backers of ousted President Viktor Yanukovych and that

the majority of Ukrainians wanted a new parliament.

Elections would be held on 26 October, he said in a TV address.

Separately, Ukraine's military says it clashed with rebel armoured vehicles that entered the country from Russia.

More than 2,000 people have died in months of fighting between Ukrainian forces and separatists in Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

The two regions declared independence from Kiev, following Russia's annexation of the southern Crimean peninsula from Ukraine in March.

Ukraine accuses Russia of arming the rebels in the east and sending its troops into the country - a charge the Kremlin denies.

Today, Mr Poroshenko is expected to meet his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin at talks in Minsk Belarus. (BBC)

Attorney General says emailgate scandal a fake PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, (CMC) – Attorney General Anand Ramlogan says the “emailgate” scandal was a “diabolical, evil and wicked plot” aimed at destroying the People’s Partnership government after indicating that the US-based search engine, Google, had said no such emails existed.

But the main opposition People’s National Movement (PNM), whose leader, Dr. Keith Rowley brought the emails to light during a parliamentary session in May 2013, said the country should await the outcome of the investigation being conducted by the Integrity Commission and the police.

“We do not accept the AG’s version as an interested third party as to what has happened in this matter. He is properly entitled to seek to defend himself, but I don’t want for the population to run away with the story that this matter has been put to rest. Do not be fooled by these charades. The jury is still out and the investigation is still ongoing,” said PNM public relations officer, Faris Al-Rawi.

Ramlogan told a news conference Sunday that he had received a certified affidavit from Google Inc which invalidates the entire emailgate scandal.

“I can breathe a sigh of relief because this has been a very trying time for me personally,’ Ramloan said, noting that “it is the first time that I have been accused of such... of any criminal wrongdoing in my lifetime, and the nature of the crimes that were alleged to have occurred including attempting to...conspiring with the Prime Minister to attempt to murder a journalist, bugging the DPP’s (Director of Public Prosecutions) office to spy on the DPP, open corruption speaking about building a helipad and passing this in e-mails between the Prime Minister

and myself,” Ramlogan said.

Rowley on May 20, 2013 told Parliament he had received 31 emails purporting to show correspondence between Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar, Attorney General Anand Ramlogan, Local Government and Works Minister Suruj Rambachan and then security adviser Gary Griffith, in a sinister move to undermine the judiciary, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution and the media.

Rowley said the emails, dating back to September 2012, were from people concerned with the government’s defence of the early proclamation of Section 34 of the Administration of Justice (Indictable Proceedings) Act that had the effect of allowing people, whose trial has not started after a 10-year period to walk free and a verdict of not guilty entered against their names.

Critics say that the clause was aimed at supporting businessmen Ish Galbaransingh and Steve Ferguson, who have been described as financiers of the ruling United National Congress (UNC), the biggest partner in the four-member coalition government.

The two are facing fraud and laundering charges relating to the re-development of the Piarco International Airport in 2001. They are also wanted in the United States on a number of related charges.

The government officials have all denied the accusations and Prime Minister Persad Bissessar and Ramlogan have filed pre-action protocol letters alleging that Rowley on May 23, 2013, at a public meeting continued to use the e-mails as the basis for his assertion.

Attorney General Anand Ramlogan (left) and Opposition Leader Dr. Keith Rowley.

Skype technology, said he intends to seek legal action against Rowley.

Ramlogan presented a certified affidavit signed by Chi Nguyen, the custodian of records at Google Inc, which stated “a diligent search and reasonable inquiry of Google’s records produced no information regarding the e-mail anan@gmail.com”.

But paragraphs seven and eight of Nguyen’s affidavit stated “anand@tstt.net.tt” and “kamlapb1@gmail.com” were both active accounts owned by Ramlogan and Persad-Bissessar, respectively.

Ramlogan said Google provided all the e-mails between himself and Persad-Bissessar during September 2012 when the emailgate correspondence occurred. He said none of those e-mails sent by Google corresponded to the claims made by Rowley.

Elder said the e-mails provided by Rowley were forged.

“In essence, those documents which were stated to be e-mails and which were moved between certain accounts belonging to the honourable Attorney General and the honourable Prime Minister, they do not exist,” Elder said.

She said the disclosure by Google showed that “those documents which were passed

off, which were laid in the House by the honourable Leader of the Opposition, they are not authentic.

“Not are they only not authentic, they did not emanate from the e-mail account of the honourable Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago and the honourable Attorney General,” Elder said, adding “we have reached at a position now that you have from Google that those documents which were passed off as e-mails do not exist.

“Where do we go from here? Well I know what I will be doing, I would be immediately writing the acting Commissioner of Police, the Integrity Commission, the Director of Public Prosecutions to do all that is necessary to unearth the co-conspirators to this evil plot.

“We do not know who they are, but what we know today is that there is a conspiracy of the most vicious nature, so those miscreants to whom the word honour has no meaning, they have to be unearthed and that is the position I take today.”

Sargent said he had filed a Notice of Pendency of Other Action or Proceeding at the United State District Court in the Northern District of California aimed at showing the application filed recently

by the Integrity Commission during its investigation into the emailgate scandal was unnecessary. “(This was intended) to bring this matter to the attention of the judge because to avoid multiplicity of proceedings. If Google has already conducted a search then it is an exercise in futility for another search of a similar nature to be conducted,” Elder said, adding she is now awaiting a response from Rowley, who is out of the country.

Ramlogan said he intends to sue Rowley for defamation of character.

“It’s been a long journey with a cloud of suspicion unnecessarily lurking and hanging over my head, but I am very happy that this revelation and vindication has come because we have been, from day one, very confident that this day will come,” Ramlogan said, adding he would not rest until justice is served.

But Al-Rawi said that the timing of the release of the information by Ramlogan was curious given that it was coming two days before the Senate debates the controversial Constitution Amendment Bill that allows for the recall of legislators, a run-off in a general election if a candidate fails to win 50 per cent of the vote cast and a two-cpnsecutive term for a prime minister.

While the House of Representatives approved the bill with two government ministers voting against and another abstaining, the government needs at least one independent member among the 31-member Senate to get approve for the legislation.

“I am confident that the Attorney General did not get this information on Sunday.

It is therefore curious that he should choose on a Sunday evening to make these disclosures when the Constitution (Amendment) Bill is on Tues-

day,” said Al-Rawi, urging the nation “not to be fooled by government’s charade”.

He said the public is unaware whether e-mails could have been sent prior or subsequent to the period when the attorney general sought information from Google.

“So the Attorney G e n e r a l ’s r e q u e s t f o r disclosure in the limited period of September 1 to 30 from Google and the affidavit and disclosure from Google, coming as they are, are tailormade to what he asked them to look for,” said Al-Rawi, an attorney.

“No doubt the story would dominate the media Monday.

I am confident the AG did not receive this information on a Sunday, but it is convenient for him to exercise what he has done by putting it in the public domain so that Monday’s news is changed away from the savagery which they are conducting against the citizens of this country,” Al Rawi said.

“The PNM calls for the public’s response to this matter meaning the police and the Intregrity Commission. We are not satisfied the population should be appeased by an interested party, meaning Mr Ramlogan and the Prime Minister (making these disclosures).

We wish to remind the population that the very disclosures by Mr Ramlogan prove the propriety of Dr Rowley going into the Parliament and calling for an investigation,” he said, insisting that the affidavit coming out of Google was “tailor made” for what Ramlogan asked them to look for. ““This matter is still pending. The official investigation, the Integrity Commission and the police are yet to speak on this issue.

The jury is still out and the investigation is still ongoing,” Al Rawi said.

Prisoners are people too THE Trades Union Congress (TUC), which, for the duration of the oppressive PNC administration, was a toothless poodle without either a bark or a bite, has, under successive PPP/C administrations, become such a ferocious bulldog that it calls protests and strikes to destabilise and destroy the labour constructs of this country at the whims and fancies of its master puppeteers, the political opportunists who have historically proven that they have no qualms in using their supporters to destroy and decimate their own survival systems.

The TUC, which calmly accepted the PNC’s destruction of the mining industry and its abominable treatment (including retrenchment of thousands of bauxite workers as well as an oppressive menu of measures that kept public servants subjected to an oppressive, rights-negated regimen of punitive conditions of work – either during working hours or in their own time (holidays and weekends, when they were forced to work for free on Hope Estate or in the cane fields), with wages frozen at $2,000 to boot and no social services relief in the various vital social service sectors, such as housing, healthcare, education, etcetera) suddenly found a ferocious voice to destabi-

lise all the people-friendly empowering mechanisms that the PPP/C administration devises to give Guyanese citizens across the board opportunities for upward mobility.

A cursory examination of the history of the TUC would clearly show its primary historic role is that of a (strong) arm for an opposition party; and all its seeming championing of the various branches of the labour force is either to support the political anti-development, destructive actions of that political party, or to generate more income culled from the pockets and kitchens of the public servants and other working groups, whose interests they ostensibly represent but who are being betrayed by their opportunistic advocacy and erroneous positions that are always anti-national, anti-developmental; thus anti-labour, in order that the labour union leaders live princely lifestyles.

Purporting to represent the rights of the labour force, they are agitating against the Government employing prisoners to work, as if Guyana’s prisoners are Martians with no right to a means of earning revenue to support themselves or families. The right to work and earn is a basic human right, and a Government is mandated to take care of every citizen of the land over which it governs.

In a Third World developing country that has to guard its spending and strategise to stretch dollars while obtaining maximum service for public monies spent -- especially if the people can benefit in a multiplicity of ways from an allocation -- it benefits everyone when all the stakeholders are winners.

Prisoners are people too.

They were caught committing their crimes, while many criminals who have been getting away without discovery – including those leaders in the trades unions and political parties who have devised schemes to destroy public and private properties, among other anti-social activities -- are enjoying their freedom and the largesse to be had from the Government’s various developmental programmes.

Even while Dale Erskine, retired Director of Prisons, was a young Officer-in-Charge of the Georgetown Prisons, he was creating synergies to make the prison system more aligned to rehabilitation rather than punishment; and he was open to ideas.

Thus it was that when the young wife of a prisoner, who was a trusted friend of Dale Erskine’s from the days when he was a Cadet Officer, was appalled at the treatment of prisoners – as though they were animals rather than people caught in unfortunate circumstances – she discussed with Erskine ways and means by which

the system could incorporate new programmes to create a dynamic whereby prison was no longer somewhere merely to lock away people found guilty of aberrant behaviour; but where the inmates could be guided, directed, and encouraged to change their thinking and attitude into more positive, achievement-oriented directions.

That change was a work in progress throughout Erskine’s tenure as initially Officer-in-Charge of the Georgetown Prisons, then Director of Prisons. Thus it was that an education component began whereby black Muslim Brother Abu eventually was in the first batch of students studying for and successfully writing the CSEC exams.

Those with skills were encouraged to develop those skills, until they were so finely-honed that Erskine introduced an annual celebration whereby the products of the prisoners’ work was exhibited for sale at the Prison Sports Club; and the more creative elements were give a stage at the National Cultural Centre to entertain the public. Concrete blocks were manufactured at Timehri, farms were established at key locations, the prison canteen sold the most delicious foods from that produce to members of the public.

The young wife prevailed, and fruits and fruit juices were allowed to prisoners for the first time under Erskine’s humane administration; and prisoners

were allowed to purchase foodstuff and other essential commodities from a newly-established prison tuckshop, so that working wives could leave monies for the days when their busy schedules could not allow their timely delivery of meals; allowing for the formerly rigid rules of remand prisoners having to have meals delivered three times per day or else lose the privilege of self-support.

The changes wrought by the forward, humanistic thinking of Dale Erskine were multi-faceted and transformational, and would benefit prisoners for generations to come. And he did all these things with a quiet simplicity and understated leadership.

One of the programmes he set in motion was the identification and employment of a skills bank of prisoners who were at least risk of escaping or engaging in additional criminal activities, and this has proven to be a success over the years. The prisoners are thus enabled to earn an income, part of which provides for their own needs; the needs of relatives, including young children left defenceless as their mothers

struggled to take care of their prerequisites for survival; and some saved for the prisoners own upkeep upon their release, because the world knows that for a person with a prison record to find employment is a difficult feat to accomplish.

The Government is to be commended for the initiative, whereby this resource can be utilised in its drive to clean up the city, which has, under Hamilton Green’s stewardship, become a huge garbage dump and a microcosm of Guyana under PNC administration.

The contract fittingly awarded to the Guyana Prison Service simultaneously addresses several essential national needs.

The Government needs to get on with the job for which it was mandated by the citizens of this country -- which is to govern for the betterment of country and citizens, and leave the perennial naysayers, doomsayers and destroyers of this nation’s survival systems to do what they do best -– prophesy gloom and doom on the nation, then act to fructify their portentous prognostications.

Heartening response from civil society on issue of mental illness IN response to a letter captioned “An open letter to the Human Services Minister”, published in the August 18th edition of the Guyana Times, I wish to commend the writers on their proposed response to our growing problem of suicide, which is indeed a troubling one and a concern which we share.

The Human Services Ministry has been involved in a number of initiatives aimed at addressing the issue of suicide prevention, and is not averse to extending its support

to other initiatives aimed at achieving the same objectives.

It is heartening to see renewed interest in the prevention of this social ill, which has plagued our society. The Ministry of Labour, Human Services and Social Security has long recognised the need for partnerships and extended networks to advocate suicide prevention.

In February this year, the HS Ministry partnered with the New Jersey Arya Samaj Humanitarian Mission and several local entities, including the ministries

of Education and Health, the Regional Democratic Council of Region 6, and some private businesses, to begin a new awareness and education project aimed at preventing suicide.

This event was well attended by leaders and members of faith-based organisations, with more than 300 students from secondary schools along the Corentyne Coast and members of civil society in attendance. They were enlightened by presentations made by a number of specialists, including

Psychiatrist Dr. Bhiro Harry, business leaders, and Dr. Sharma of the Regional Health Authority.

First Lady, Deolatchmee Ramotar and I have also addressed this issue, and we sought to identify some of the root causes and how these issues should be addressed. Let me reassure the writers of Government’s commitment and growing concern for this issue.

The presentations were followed by an interactive session, and informative suggestions/

presentations emerged, which serve as guidance for continued work in this area.

Many of the resource persons engaged at this forum have since continued the work in various areas.

Similarly, the Government of Guyana was engaged in an effort to train about 600 members of faith-based organizations, to prevent and care for, counsel and support persons affected by social ills, including suicide.

I wish to mention that the HS Ministry also works closely in collaboration with a

number of NGOs, and through its Probation Officers, a core group of professionals who are assigned to the ten administrative regions, the HS Ministry has expanded its network to conduct public education and sensitisation awareness activities on this issue, as well as the issue of gender-based violence. Their interaction allows for all levels of contact, from the grassroots level to all levels in society.

Guyana’s Robin Hood unmasked again!

I WAS not surprised when I saw the front page headline of Guyana Chronicle of Monday, August 25, 2014, which read “Local publisher at centre of duty-free concession scam”.

The local publisher named was Glenn Lall of the Kaieteur News.

However, I was aghast when I read the article and found that this self-proclaimed modern-day Robin Hood, who banters daily about fighting corruption, was in the middle of a scam, hemorrhaging from the Treasury in excess of G$100M. This is a man who, by his own words, has dedicated himself and his newspaper (Kaieteur News) to wage war against corruption. In his own words, he says he does it for the “protection of the taxpayers”.

However, when examined, his own conduct cannot withstand scrutiny. In fact, he is very much guilty of the very thing that he claims to have declared war against.

The bumper sticker on the vehicle reads “Say no to corruption”. Lo and behold!

The very vehicle is the object of corruption!

Thus far, his name has been connected to backtracking and other nefarious activities; he was found stealing electricity; the City Council claims he owes millions of dollars in rates and taxes, and they have him in court; and now he is implicated in a duty free scam. This man and his newspaper ought never to speak about corruption.

I anxiously await the other crusaders against corruption speaking on this matter -- the AFC (Alliance

For Change), APNU (A Partnership for National Unity), Christopher Ram, Anand Goolsarran, Transparency International and others. I say to them that the Guyanese people will judge them harshly if they seek refuge in silence on this matter. After all, it is Glenn Lall’s newspaper that they frequently use as their forum to lecture to the world on corruption.

Lastly, I await the actions that the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) will take on this matter. I know of many similar instances when the vehicles in question were immediately impounded while the matter was being investigated.

I see no reason why this should not happen in this matter.

The Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC), the regulator of Guyana’s state forest estate, made it very clear that no logging is taking place at Kwebanna by Bai Shan Lin for 2014, and that the photographs of logs taken by KN are logs that were harvested in 2013.

This tells John Public that the photo evidence of KN is totally misleading, and rubbishes the KN’s own unfounded and mischievous claims that logging activities are taking place at Kwebanna.

But what is important to note as well is the stark hypocrisy of the hullabaloo over log exportation by Bai Shan Lin carried out by the KN, SN and the so-called Forest Doctor, Dr. Janet Bulkan, since it is known that Yacoob Ally, the uncle of Bulkan, is a shareholder of the joint venture arrangements between Bai Shan Lin and Kwebanna Wood Products.

In this regard, it is interesting to know what the views of this so-called forest expert on this joint venture arrangement are, because she seems to have absolutely nothing to do in Florida but to write hogwash about the management of Guyana’s forest sector, to which she is a stranger.

Simply put, can Bulkan identify a Wamara tree in the forest at Region 10? Or as the “forest expert” she claims to be, can she effectively solve the problems of Guyana’s small-scale loggers?

In my view, if Janette Bulkan is a genuine expert on forest matters, she would have humbly made herself available to apply her expertise in Guyana’s forest Sector. But no, Bulkan, like the KN, SN and the political opposition, always wages an anti-Government agenda, particularly on forest matters, under the pretext of her having forestry expertise; which she is currently doing in relation to Bai Shan Lin’s logging activities, along with the Opposition sections of the media to bamboozle John Public.

And the so-called forest expert does this by twisting the factual information put out on the forestry sector by the GFC; and what she is doing is being followed by the Opposition sections of the media.

Finally, looking at KN’s photographs of logs on the ground is not technically factual evidence of Guyana’s forest assessments. What the photographs represent is KN’s mischievous, misleading and erroneous information about Bai Shan Lin’s logging activities and matters that pertain to Guyana’s forest sector, just to fool the reading public.

Heartening response from civil...

(From Page 6)

der-based violence, the HS Ministry, through its Women’s Affairs Bureau and Men’s Affairs Bureau, addressed the issue of suicide, especially with the children in schools. This issue was also dealt with among men in their own groupings, and among young girls. The Ministry is also supporting a suicide prevention committee working in Corentyne with various groups.

Last year, the Ministry began efforts to address this issue in the work place, and held sessions with employers and employees at their places of work, including at the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission, the Guyana Business Coalition on HIV, and staff at the Skeldon Sugar Estate.

These are just some of the efforts undertaken to address the issue of suicide.

However, I wish to highlight the fact that the Probation and Social Services Officers

of the HS Ministry address these issues on a smaller scale on a daily basis, as they continue their work in communities, homes, the prisons, orphanages, homes for the elderly, religious groups, and wherever else their work might take them as servants of the people.

These are by no means sufficient, as suicide continues to occur in Guyana.

Hence, the Ministry of Labour, Human Services and Social Security again wishes to reiterate its call for greater partnerships to boost its capacity to better address the issue of suicide prevention in Guyana.

With respect to the issues raised regarding ‘attitudes towards mental health issues to combat the taboos, misinformation, biases’, I wish to assure the ‘writers’ that the Honourable Minister of Health, Dr. Bheri Ramsaran, and the Ministry of Health has developed a Mental Health Strategy which will be formally launched

by October 10th, 2014, in observance of World Mental Health Day. The Ministry of Health has also conducted training sessions in areas of depression and suicide for 250 persons, with the support of an international psychologist – Dr. Doorn.

We also thank Caribbean Voice for its interest and efforts in this regard, and would like to extend an invitation for them to meet and interact with some of the Ministry’s managers, to share our experiences and to learn more about your efforts, as we seek ways of collaborating and improving the services we provide to the Guyanese people.

We remain supporting initiatives aimed at reducing this abhorrent trend in our society.

President urges miners to be optimistic, creative --if they are to overcome challenges in the industry

By Clifford Stanley

PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar is urging miners in the gold and diamond industry to use their ingenuity to weather the slump in the price of gold. He told them that despair should not be an option.

“In this situation, we should not despair and talk about crisis. The decline in prices should challenge us to do things in an even better way, so that we can keep our profit margins and continue to develop; continue to make a hefty contribution to the local economy,” he said.

Giving assurance of

Government’s support, he hinted at further concessions being granted to the industry in form of duty-free concessions for four-door vehicles for miners, saying there are imminent.

President Ramotar stressed that the Government understands the important role mining plays in national development, and disclosed that there will be a growing role for mining and mineral resources development as the Government moves to diversify to other minerals and to add value to what is produced.

He said that Government was aware that the duty-free concession for a particular type of vehicle is one issue

which has been hanging for a while, and he assured that the issue was being actively addressed.

He said that concessions are to be announced shortly, and those would reward miners who have been declaring their production of gold and paying the relevant taxes in a consistent manner.

He made those remarks during an address at launch of observances for Mining Week 2014, the annual salute to the contributions of mining to the well-being of the Guyanese nation and economy.

The launch took place at the Gravity Lounge in Camp Street, and those

gathering included top officials from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC), ministers of Government, members of the diplomatic corps, and large- medium- and smallscale miners.

The programme also included the grant of awards to miners who had made significant contributions to the sector and the economy during 2013.

The Ministry of Natural Resources & the Environment (MNRE) and the Guyana Geology & Mines Commission (GGMC) are holders of the Mining Week, being held under the theme:

“Improving recovery, Reducing impact; securing the future of mining.”

Addresses were also made by MNR&E Minister Robert Persaud; Chairman of the Board of Directors of the GGMC, Clinton Williams; Commissioner of the GGMC, Mr Rickford Vieira; and President of the Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners’ Association (GGDMA), Mr. Patrick Harding.

Earlier, the president of the GGDMA had said that the sector had been hard hit by the recent plunge in prices.

He said: “When the price of any commodity drops from US$1800 to US$1300, and the costs of production remain the same, the situation becomes critical.”

He expressed gratitude for Government’s support for the sector in the form of making more land available

for mining, and in the form of providing roads for access to lands with mineral deposits; but he argued that the sector would need more help if the operators are to survive the hefty decline in prices.

Awards were given to Chunilall Baboolall and to Ryan and Julio Perreira for production in gold; and to M B&P Persaud Mining for production in diamonds.

Stone quarrying drew awards for BK International and Toolsie Persaud Ltd. Sand mining gave Lennox John and Cecil Persaud their awards; and Responsible Environmental Stewardship gave Raymond Khan his award.

Mohamed Enterprises and Eldorado Trading were recognised as the top gold dealers for 2013, and were awarded accordingly.

Education Month to be launched on Sunday President Donald Ramotar addressing the gathering at the launch of Mining Week 2014 last evening

Cane harvesters narrowly escape death --when trailer slips into trench at Uitvlugt MORE than thirty cane harvesters reportedly had a narrow brush with death last Saturday morning when a trailer in which they were travelling became partly submerged in a canal at Uitvlugt, West

Coast Demerara, having slid off a bridge on which it was crossing near the estate compound.

Sources relate that the pin connecting the trailer to a tractor pulling it broke and caused the mishap. Most of

the cane harvesters sustained severe bruises as a result of the incident, but four were badly injured and had to be taken to the nearby Lenora Cottage Hospital, where they were treated and later sent home.

General Secretary of the

Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU), Mr Seepaul Narine, indicating that he had received reports on the accident, related that while no one was badly injured, he has advised that all seek medical attention.

THE THEME for Education Month 2014: “Literature by Grade 4 Through Consistent Home, School and Community Involvement” centres on the need to bring awareness to parents, community members, and social and religious organisations of the importance of coming together to help each child become literate by the time he or she graduates from Grade Four.

This was revealed in a press release issued by the Ministry of Education.

Education Month will be launched on Sunday, August 31st, with an inter-faith church service in Region Seven (Cuyuni/Mazaruni), followed by observances which would be held across every administrative region. Parents, guardians, children, educators, and the business community are expected to participate in the proceedings.

The Education Ministry’s release has said that activities for Education Month 2014 would include a number of face-the–community meetings; award ceremonies honouring both teachers and students; and prayer services.

Additionally, there would be a “Give A Book Day” which would include an invitation for all of Guyana to read at a specific time and on a specific day. Besides, there would be Spelling B Competitions, Debating Competitions, Education Month Rally, launching of the Revised Literacy Programme, International Literacy Day Essay Competition, and workshops for teachers, among other activities.

Commander Brutus hosts ‘Fun Day’ for Linden children

By Asif Hakim

COMMANDER of ‘E’ Division, Superintendent Calvin Brutus and Inspector Pitt last Sunday hosted a grand fun day for children in Linden at Victory Valley, just next to the Linden Community Centre.

The fun day saw approximately 120 children

participating in various events, including various football categories ranging from ages 5 to 16 before a grand finale with over 300 spectators.

The football event had 24 teams with five persons in a team. In the under-10 event the ECDZ Block 22 were the winners while the police youths team was second.

The under-12 category saw the same ECDZ Block 22 finishing first while police youths grabbed second spot again. In the under-14 category police youth took the first position, beating ECDZ Block 22 into second place.

The under-16 category was a showcase of excitement with Linden Silver Bullet (Silvertown) being

crowned champions while the police youths came second.

Meanwhile, the overall results saw police youths taking three second spots and one first, ECDZ copping two first places and one second and Silver Bullet taking one first.

After the events Commander Brutus commended the various teams for

their participation and he also congratulated the spectators for coming out and giving support to the teams.

Speaking to the Chronicle, Brutus said that the fun day was one that the kids were looking forward to. He indicated that he would be planning other events for the children in the coming weeks.

Commander Brutus, since taking over the division last month, has already outlined various plans for the different communities.

“I love kids. I’m happy to know that these kids here are very skillful, they are our future.

I’m going to make sure I do all that is possible to make the children in Linden happy,” Brutus said.

PPP engages civil society on current political situation - finds interest in national-unity gov’t ‘encouraging’

THE People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has been engaging various stakeholders and interest groups in discussions on the current political situation, according to a statement from the Party, which added that encouraging interest has been shown in the establishment of a national democratic front ahead of the next general and regional elections.

The statement said, “The People’s Progressive Party is heartened by the interest shown by a large number of civic and political stakeholders in forming a broad national democratic front with the Party ahead of the next general and regional elections.

“The PPP has been meeting with various stakeholders and interest groups to discuss the political situation and the need for more to be done to realise the establishment of this broad National Democratic Front Alliance which would see Guyanese electors benefiting significantly from higher levels of transparency, accountability, good governance and democratic rule.”

According to the party, it is satisfied that its ideology, political principles and track-record has managed to attract many stakeholders who are interested in joining its national democratic platform to build and further develop Guyana.

“The PPP is also appreciative of the fact, that con-

trary to what the Stabroek News described as ‘usual fulmination’, more and more stakeholders are condemning the Opposition’s actions to stymie development and cripple progress in advancing the socio-economic growth of Guyana,” the statement said.

APNU ATTEMPTS Additionally, the ruling party’s statement included an acknowledgment of what it termed “attempts” by leader of the People’s National Congress Reform/ A Partnership for National Unity (PNCR/ APNU), David Granger, to address the issue of shared governance.

“The Party has taken note of attempts by the leader of PNC/R and APNU David Granger to create the impression that there is genuine concern in his camp about pursuing the notion of shared governance,” the statement said.

However, the PPP contends that any proposal for shared governance should be based on the social, political and cultural realities in Guyana and not used as a tool to score cheap political points.

The statement said, “The PPP maintains that Granger and his acolytes in the Opposition have done all that they could do so far to deepen the differences between political parties and further diminish any hope of shared

governance becoming a reality. “…the Party is reminded of APNU’s dishonesty following a series of engagements with the Government in and out of Parliament. The PPP wishes to place on record its concern that the APNU Leader’s utterances of late are not consistent with his actions as he outlined a somewhat blurred view of pursing a ‘one Guyana dream’ and the establishment of a ‘government of national unity’.”

The PPP also called on the APNU to stop its “pretense” of national unity and to join the national conversation towards the establishment of a broad National Democratic Front with the aim of advancing Guyana’s development.

To this end, the party re-affirmed its position that shared governance in Guyana is realisable only when serious thought and actions are directed at building trust, formulation of a common platform on socio-economic issues and the rebirth of commitment on the part of the opposition towards fast-tracking the development of Guyana for the benefit of all Guyanese.

“The PPP intends to mobilise greater support for the building of a true national unity government.

The Party is encouraged by the response to its call and is excited that the country’s political culture and system of governance will be further strengthened by its actions,” the ruling party stressed.

PPP says...

Political parties have a right to scrutinise voters’ list - deems GECOM, APNU criticism ‘unwarranted’

THE ruling party yesterday made it clear that political parties have a right to scrutinize the Preliminary List of Electors (PLE), in whatever method or manner they choose, providing it is done within the meaning of the law.

To this end, the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) contends that criticisms by both the Guyana Elections Commission and the main Opposition party, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), on its exercise of this right are unwarranted.

In a statement, the party said, “The Parties must be free to report their findings of irregularities to GECOM for further verification and corrective actions. In the circumstance, therefore we view the unwarranted criticism

by GECOM and APNU as a deterrent to our work on the ground and the placing of our activists at risk while they go about their legitimate duties.”

The PPP highlighted that it was its “ardent field work” that uncovered a number of irregularities with the PLE and on each occasion GECOM was written to for corrective actions.

Some of these findings, according to the ruling party, include the discovery of: * Eighteen (18) persons listed at one Georgetown address. More glaring is that one of these individuals had a pre-prepared list of names. Interestingly, GECOM responded by a blatant refusal to conduct a physical verification of these persons. * One address that was listed for five different persons in two separate divisions, hence they are on different voters’ lists and so unless corrected they will be allowed to vote at different polling stations, a case for multiple voting; * The fact that a GECOM mobile team worked in the evening at Hope Lowland without lights and promised to return but never did only after the PPP’s successful representation to GECOM; * The “astronomical” increase in New Registrants amounting to almost 80,000 when previously the usual

annual increase was recorded at approximately 11,000; and * Persons who are still to take transfers and make corrections as regards their particulars.

The PPP expressed the view that it is GECOM’s responsibility to ensure that persons are listed in the correct Registration Unit. There should be no excuse from GECOM on this crucial aspect of the Registration process.

The ruling party, in its statement, added that it has led many struggles on the electoral front dating back to the achievement of Universal Adult Suffrage since the 1953 elections right up to the return of democracy in 1992, and in every situation the PPP has championed the cause for every Guyanese to be afforded their Constitutional right and to have free and fair elections in Guyana.

“Today in or out of Government we stand resolute in our demands for transparency at all elections whenever they are called,” the party stressed.

RODNEY’S DEATH: AN ENIGMA BEING ANSWERED Special Report on the Rodney Commission of Inquiry by Shaun Michael Samaroo

Rodney Commission unearths...

Corbin had hand in missing GDF submachine guns

WHEN Police seized submachine Army guns from criminals killed in a deadly shootout with cops at Mahaica in 2009, an alarm rocked Guyana: How did the hardened, murderous criminals secure submachine guns from the Guyana Defence Force (GDF)?

Yesterday, senior GDF Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Sydney James told the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry that the GDF issued those guns to the People’s National Congress (PNC) Government in the 1970s, along with hundreds more.

Many deadly weapons remain missing, never returned to Army stores.

Where are these missing guns today?

Lieutenant Colonel James continues his testimony today at the High Court, as the Commission seeks the answer to that question, in determining what conditions existed in Guyana between 1978 and 1980, when renowned international scholar, Dr Walter Rodney died in a political assassination in a bomb blast explosion in his car in Georgetown on June 13, 1980.

Lieutenant Colonel James’ testimony yesterday unmasked the PNC reign as one of heavy militarization of the Guyanese society, with the State handing over GDF military weapons to at least one State Ministry and other paramilitary forces.

With the Guyanese society on the edge of militarized violence, Dr Rodney led a mass uprising against the draconian socio-political pressure Guyanese faced under the PNC. However, Dr Rodney’s populist public protests, international campaign, and political threat to the dictatorship ended when the bomb exploded in his car, killing him instantly.

For the past 34 years, the world academic community has clamoured for a thorough and independent inquiry into his demise, and to probe why Guyana had descended to assassinating its foremost historian and world-class scholar. In answer to that call, President Donald Ramotar convened the Commission, now in its fifth hearing.

Yesterday’s hearing saw Lieutenant Colonel James’ testimony validate the Commission’s probe, despite crit-

- that Police seized from deadly criminals icism from the PNC and some media houses that the Commission’s work may be outdated. In unearthing the fact that heavy military GDF weapons are today still unaccounted for, the Commission would have touched a raw nerve where national security is concerned. In fact, Commission Chairman Sir Richard Cheltenham noted that “it’s very difficult to

President Donald Ramotar protect a society with so many weapons outstanding...

This is serious matter, that so many weapons of this caliber could be lent out with no follow-up. Your country cannot be safe and secured if there’s no strict control of weapons lent out,” the Barbadian legal luminary said at the Commission’s hearing yesterday, his tone of voice somber in the quiet room, as leaders and members of the Working People’s Alliance (WPA) sat stony-faced in the audience.

Dr Rodney was leader of the WPA when he was assassinated, and the WPA now sits with the PNC in a political coalition in Parliament.

Current WPA senior leader and Member of Parliament, Dr Rupert Roopnarine, also attended yesterday’s hearings.

The WPA fought against the PNC’s militarization of the society, and the Party has long accused the PNC of assassinating Dr Rodney, its charismatic leader, in a State-sponsored act of militarized violence, involving the late Army Officer, Sergeant Gregory Smith, who, it alleged, delivered the bomb that killed Dr Rodney.

The Commission heard in a previous testimony from

ex-military intelligence officer, Robert Allan Gates that Smith was a military double-agent for the PNC Government.

Could the missing guns be in the hands of criminals today, like the Guyanese nation shockingly saw in 2009?

Forty-four of those weapons still missing are GDF submachine guns. They are among 150 to 200 guns is-

Army inventory and weapons audit. The documents show the guns handed over to “R. Corbin and someone named Skeete.” In the timeframe under probe, Robert Corbin, former Opposition Leader and later head of the PNC, served as Minister at the Ministry of National Development, with his Permanent Secretary being one Skeete.

Although the GDF docu-

Commission Chairman Sir Richard Cheltenham

Lieutenant Colonel Sydney James

sued to the PNC’s Ministry of National Development, a notorious State Ministry charged with nefarious activities to secure the PNC dictatorship’s hold on political power in the country.

Lieutenant Colonel James yesterday told Sir Cheltenham that he cannot say how the Army plans to find them, as he does not know of any follow-up procedure to secure GDF weapons that are missing.

ments do not explicitly state that Minister Corbin or Permanent Secretary Skeete were the named persons, Lieutenant Colonel James’ testimony correlates the link between the Ministry and those named in the Army weapons-issuing documents.

The PNC’s Ministry of National Development played a key leadership role in the heavy militarization of the State of Guyana in

Service, the Ministry, the Prime Minister’s Office, and several other paramilitary and civilian agencies and organisations.

During the 1990s, the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Government dismantled the paramilitary forces in the country, and Lieutenant Colonel James said some “units” were absorbed into the GDF, while others were disbanded and dismantled.

But GDF records show that only the Guyana Prison Service returned weapons to the GDF. Between 150 to 200 guns, including 44 submachine guns, issued to Corbin and Skeete at the Ministry of National Development, still remain missing, the Army Officer said.

Corbin served as the Minister at that Ministry in the PNC Government, and later served as leader of the PNC, before retiring from politics and public office.

Lieutenant Colonel James said the Guyana Police Force unearthed guns, from the list of weapons handed over in 1979 to the clandestine PNC Ministry, in 2009 at Mahaica during a deadly shootout with criminals.

Today, however, many other weapons that the GDF issued to the Ministry of National Development, the Guyana Prison Service, the Guyana National Service, the Guyana People’s Militia and other paramilitary

‘Yesterday’s hearing saw Lieutenant Colonel James’ testimony validate the Commission’s probe, despite criticism from the PNC and some media houses that the Commission’s work may be outdated.

the time under the Commission’s probe, and Lieutenant Colonel James’ testimony shows that GDF guns went out to the Guyana People’s Militia, the Guyana National Service, the Guyana Prison

organisations that the PNC Government had established remain missing. The witness said only weapons issued to the Guyana Prison Service show up as returned.

While the GDF made

some “permanent” weapon transfers, these would have been incorporated back into the GDF when the State dismantled the extensive paramilitary establishment that the PNC Government maintained, incorporating one as a GDF unit. But the weapons issued to the Ministry, Corbin and Skeete were never recovered, to this day, he said.

During the PNC Government, the country saw a major militarization of the State, with even graduates of the University of Guyana mandated to serve at the notorious Guyana National Service. Scores of citizens avoided attending University because of widespread fear of abuse within the National Service stint.

The WPA and the international community have long asserted that the PNC Government and its military arm had planned and executed the Dr Rodney assassination.

Yesterday’s hearings strike a sensitive chord across the society, as Guyanese face continuing gun crimes.

After the paramilitary PNC establishment was disbanded as Guyana freed up the GDF and Police Force from State control, many of the ex-military workers found employment in a mushrooming private security sector. Such a sector formed to counter the escalation of gun crimes, with citizens resorting to iron grills to secure their homes.

Several ex-military leaders established private security firms, and contracted security services to major corporate clients, in the process employing former military workers.

Under the PNC rule, militarized violence included such phenomenon as the feared kick-down-the-door lawlessness, allegedly executed by units of GDF soldiers against Guyanese citizens.

With the GDF reduced from an estimated 3,000 soldiers in the 1970’s and 1980’s to just hundreds of serving soldiers in the 1990’s, the population of trained military folks in civilian society spiked.

The Commission is awakening in the consciousness of the nation these pressing, largely ignored, issues, and its work is growing in significance as a crucial contribution to the socio-political stability and future growth of Guyana.

Claims and objections exercise extended - Rohee says Party pleased with positive response

By Vanessa Narine DEPUTY Chief Elections Officer (DECO), Mr. Vishnu Persaud yesterday confirmed that the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has granted the extension of the claims and objections exercise, as requested by the ruling party.

The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) last Thursday wrote to the Commission requesting a one-week extension of the ongoing Claims and Objections period, which started on August 4.

In a statement on the issue, the PPP claimed that an

extension, at this “critical” time, is necessary to ensure most, if not all eligible Guyanese are on the list of electors and not disenfranchised whenever elections are called. The ruling party added that it has received “valuable information” from its extensive field work countrywide, which indicated that there are many persons who are still to effect transfer of their particulars from one list to another, especially in new housing schemes.

The DECO told the Guyana Chronicle that, in line with the expressed concerns, the Claims exercise will now

come to an end on August 31st and the Objections will end on September 3rd.

“The entire exercise will end on September 7th; the additional days will allow the Commission to address the issues raised during the claims and objections process,” Persaud said.

According to him, as at Sunday, there were a total of 2,071 new transactions, 1,955 transfers, owing to issues related to change of address, etc., and 888 changes/ corrections to existing registration information.

Responding to the exten-

sion, PPP General-Secretary, Mr. Clement Rohee, stated that the party is pleased at the positive response from GECOM. “We welcome the extension…we had a very good basis for calling for the extension and it was on that basis that we wrote to GECOM, making representation on that matter,” he said in an invited comment.

Rohee noted that with the extension, efforts on the ground will be intensified by the party to ensure that “what was not completed” is completed within the one-week extension.

He said, “It is now necessary for us to encourage those who have not affected transfers to do so and for all of the stakeholders to be part

of this exercise. There is a strategic objective in the call for the extension. “…we will concentrate our efforts to ensure that every legitimate voter is on the Preliminary List of Electors. We will also work to ensure that every eligible voter on the National Register of Registrant is moved to the PLE.” The General-Secretary contended that the extension will assist in ensuring a credible voters’ list.

As the process rolls out, objections can be made for persons who died, or for people who do not meet the eligibility requirements for inclusion on the Official List of Electors.

The Claims period will allow persons to do the fol-

lowing business, if needed: Register as a New Registrant, if he/she would be 18 years old or older and if his/her name is not on any of the GECOM’s 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.

GECOM’s hotline numbers are 225-0278-9, 2266557 or 223-9650.

GECOM recruiting trainers as part of overall preparedness plan AS part of its overall preparedness plan, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has embarked on a recruitment process that will see the establishment of a “reservoir” of personnel who would be trained comprehensively in Guyana’s registration and election process.

Deputy Chief Elections Officer (DCEO), Mr. Vishnu Persaud, told the Guyana Chronicle that the move to have a pool of trainers will ensure that the Commission has personnel readily available for temporary employment for any registration or election process at short notice.

He added that this exercise will also remove the need for extensive continuous training, which is both time consuming and costly.

“This will save us a lot of time and money; rather than having to train new people for every new election and registration process, this way we only have to do refresher courses,” Persaud said.

According to an advertisement placed by the Commission the responsibilities of these trainers will include: * Designing and developing materials appropriate to specific training needs pertinent to registration and elections management; * Organising and delivering training strategies as appropriate; * Ensuring that training needs for all temporary staff are met comprehensively and adequately; and * Maintaining records of training activities.

The activities of the trainers will span Guyana’s hinterland and rural regions and will fall under the supervision of Chief Elections Officer (CEO), Mr. Keith Lowenfield.

“We are targeting about 60 persons who will be trained as trainers to move around the country and train other temporary staff for a registration or election process,” the DECO said.

Persaud also stressed that this exercise is in no way connected to preparations for either local government or general elections.

“This is a part of our overall preparedness plan,” he reiterated. (Vanessa Narine)

Jamzone Beach Jam whets patrons’ appetite –despite a change of venue

fans, from all accounts, had quite a rollicking time, as could be seen from the level of festivity there.

Patrons enjoyed sizzling performances from Vizion Sound Recording’s ‘Lil Red’ and a few others, but many were eagerly anticipating the faceoff between local dancehall phenomenal ‘Magnum’

and Jory.

As the mammoth crowd screamed their approval, Jory made light work of Magnum who, although good, could not match the ‘dancehall fury’ of his opponent, who chopped him to pieces with mincing words, sword sharp lyrics, blistering jibes, and ‘show stopper im-

Jory was declared winner to thunderous applause, and he carted of a whopping $150,000 for his efforts besides ‘uplifting’ the coveted ‘King of the Beach’ title.

From inception of Jamzone, this was the very first

time the Beach Jam was taken away from the Splashmin’s Fun Park and Resort; and Hits and Jams Entertainment is thrilled about this move, since this event will be made even more exciting with the new commodities this venue has to offer.

The world pays tribute to film director Richard Attenborough

TRIBUTES have poured in from the worlds of entertainment and politics following the death of Richard Attenborough.

The Oscar-winning actor and director died on Sunday at the age of 90.

Steven Spielberg said he was "in an endless line of those who completely adored him".

David Puttnam called him "completely irreplaceable".

Prime Minister David Cameron said he was "one of the greats of cinema", while Ed Miliband called it "a sad day" for film "and the Labour movement".

Lord Attenborough was a

member of the Labour party for many years, and much of his work - such as Cry Freedom and Gandhi - reflected his liberal political beliefs.

Sarah Brown, wife of former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, tweeted that he was a "true gent w/a [with a] social conscience".

Tony Blair said the filmmaker had "an absolute passion for human dignity and the equality of all".

"As a supporter of progressive causes from the anti-apartheid movement to the celebration of India's independence, he was way ahead of his time," he said.

Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, friend and fellow filmmaker Lord Puttnam paid tribute not just to the talent Lord Attenborough brought to the screen, but to his tireless work as a public figure.

"This is a most remarkable man who, when you string together the things he did, the things he helped, the things he salvaged, it's mind-boggling the list of decent, good things he did for Britain."

Lord Attenborough's entry in Who's Who listed more than 30 organisations of which he was or had been

The late Lord Attenborough

a director, trustee, fellow, chairman or president, including the British Film Institute, the Tate Gallery and the Muscular Dystrophy Group.

Chelsea Football Club was another of his enduring passions. In a statement the club said: "Lord Attenborough was a thoroughly lovely and talented man who used his fame and influence for the good of the many causes close to his heart. We will always be grateful that our football club was one of them."

Former TV executive Michael Grade said: "Dickie was essentially a man who put much more in than he ever took out of the industry."

Sir Ben Kingsley, who played the title role in Lord Attenborough's Oscar-winning epic Gandhi, said the filmmaker gave him the role "with great grace and joy".

"I along with millions of others whom he touched through his life and work will miss him dearly."

Co-stars from across the Atlantic also paid tribute, remembering the British star with great fondness.

Mia Farrow, with whom he starred in the Guns at Batasi, called him "the kindest man I have ever had the privilege of working with. A Prince".

Mara Wilson, with whom he starred as Father Christmas in A Miracle on 34th Street, said he was "the only Santa Claus I ever believed in. A wonderful man".

"He will always be my Kris Kringle," tweeted fellow 34th Street star, Elizabeth Perkins.

Figures from the world of British comedy also praised the man who Melvyn Bragg said "on the surface appeared very jolly... but was a serious man, extremely concerned about making the world a better place".

Ricky Gervais called him

"one of the true greats of silver screen". Little Britain star David Walliams wrote: "Richard Attenborough as Pinkie in Brighton Rock from 1947. One of the greatest film performances of all time."

Stephen Fry took to Twitter to pay his respects saying he did "so, so much in so many arenas". Sir Roger Moore hailed him as "a wonderful and talented man".

The British Academy of Film and Television Awards (Bafta) said in a statement: "We are deeply saddened by the death of Lord Attenborough Kt CBE, a monumental figure in Bafta's history.

"Lord Attenborough was intimately involved with the Academy for over 50 years.

He believed in it passionately, supported it tirelessly and was integral to the organisation that Bafta has become today."

Lord Attenborough was a trustee of Bafta from 1972 to 2003, and proposed the introduction of an Academy Fellowship, which he himself received in 1983.

As an actor and director, he won three Baftas, two for Gandhi - again in 1983 - and a third for his performance in two films, Guns at Batasi and Seance on a Wet Afternoon, in 1963.

Speaking of his contribution to British film, Lord Bragg told the BBC "nobody has done as much as he has for one industry".

The filmmaker had been frail for some time, having moved into a nursing home to be with his wife of nearly 70 years, actress Sheila Sim, last year.

His son Michael - a theatre director - revealed the news of his death to the BBC on Sunday evening.

The couple also had two daughters, actress Charlotte, and Jane, who died tragically in the Asian tsunami in 2004.

Additional steps being taken to protect rice farmers’ interests THE Ministry of Agriculture will be collaborating with the Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS) to ensure that equipment at rice mills are properly calibrated, an additional measure to protect the interests of rice farmers.

Agriculture Minister, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy told the Guyana Chronicle that random spot checks are also being done at the various rice mills to ensure malpractices that disadvantage rice farmers are reduced.

“I do believe that millers sometimes have practices that are disadvantageous to the farmers,” he said.

“This is something we are all working with. I have always supported the farmers and the millers have been cooperating with us, putting measures in place to prevent any malpractice.”

The Minister stated that

in addition to spot checks and efforts to ensure correct calibration, representatives from the Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB) and the Guyana Rice Producers’ Association (RPA) are also present at the various mills when rice farmers’ paddies are weighed and graded.

He noted too that audits of the rice mills are done to ensure all practices are the correct ones.

“We have also repeatedly asked farmers themselves to be present at the mills when their paddy is being weighed and graded, so that they could represent their cause,” he said.

Dr. Ramsammy noted that farmers have been afforded opportunities for training to ensure that they are able to effectively represent their cause.

He said, “Just like we

ADVISORY...

Weight restriction on Linden/Lethem Road THE Ministry of Public Works is advising truck owners that, effective today, heavy-duty trucks, whether single, double or triple-axle, will only be allowed to carry loads of approximately 15 tonnes along the Linden/Lethem Road.

Currently, critical areas along the access road are being fixed. The road is passable for small and medium-sized vehicles such as minibuses, canters and pickups.

An advisory will be issued when the weight restriction is lifted.

The Ministry apologises for any inconvenience caused.

train the technicians to do grading, we train farmers and this is ongoing. We have done training in all of the rice producing regions.

We have conducted several such training and we will continue to train farmers

and will continue to do so, because when farmers are trained, they can pick up on malpractices and represent their cause.”

The Agriculture Minister added that rice farmers are also supported by the

Ministry through its extension services.

“We concede that there is work to do and it is not a perfect system, but we are working on this,” Dr. Ramsammy said. (Vanessa Dr Leslie Ramsammy Narine)

President hails air transport as vital to –as JAGS Aviation Guyana’s development re-launches service

By Vanessa Narine PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar has noted that the development of air transport is vital to the development of Guyana as a whole.

The Head of State was speaking at a ceremony held yesterday by the BK Group of Companies to re-launch its recently acquired JAGS Aviation services.

That ceremony was held at the Wings hangar at the Ogle International Airport, and saw the attendance of several Government ministers, representatives from the private sector and the diplomatic corps, as well as stakeholders in the tourism and aviation sectors.

“Air transport is vital to the development of Guyana… most of us can testify to the transformation that has taken place over a relatively short period of time,” the President said.

He highlighted that one area where this is evident is in the opening up of hinterland areas, an endeavour to which air transport is undeniably linked.

“Opening up the interior must be linked to air transport.

There are many areas that are still not accessible by roads of waterways; and even if some of them are, the time it takes to get there is relatively long,” the President said.

The Head of State made it clear that opening up of the interior is not “mere talk”, as efforts are being made by the current administration to capitalize on the advances made so

far in air transport by pushing the development of economic activities, such as mining.

“It is immoral not to try to develop our interior areas,” he said.

Also, the President stated that Government has been making tremendous investment in the sector, as evidenced by advances at the Ogle International Airport as well as the ongoing modernisation of the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA).

“Measures have been taken to try to retard our development…. This year, many of you would know that our expenditures vital for many things have been cut from the national budget,” he said.

Regardless, the Head of State said, many of the developmental undertakings seen in Guyana in the last several years have resulted from successful public/private partnerships.

“Everything PPP is always good,” the President quipped, referring to his party, the People’s Progressive Party (PPP).

President Ramotar added that Guyana continues to make progress despite the challenges, and re-launching of the services of JAGS Aviation is testimony to the level of investor confidence still being expressed.

“We must work together to take Guyana forward….

Together (investors and Government), we can work to make Guyana realise its full potential,” he said.

The President congratulated the Tiwarie family on their

newest business venture, as did Transport Minister Robeson Benn.

He pointed out that stake-

holders from the sector must “close ranks” around the fact that Guyana is on a “solid” development path and is poised

to make greater advances for the benefit of the Guyanese people.

Tourism Minister Irfaan Ali also made remarks yesterday, stressing the support of the Government in providing a welcoming investment framework in the aviation sector.

JAGS Aviation Director, Briony Tiwarie, welcomed the speakers’ comments, and acknowledged that the investment in the sector was premised on its potential.

The Director was clear and confident in stating that JAGS Aviation, with its re-launch, will continue the expansion it started with the acquisition of a brand new US$3M Cessna Grand Caravan, which made the company the first private sector entity to acquire an aircraft straight off the production line.

Tiwarie noted that the

chartered company’s investments are expected to promote Guyana as a domestic and international tourist destination, turning the carrier into a scheduled domestic and regional operator.

She pointed out that stakeholders in the sector must not only compete, but work together for improvements in the sector – an undertaking that includes increasing markets, which can be done via the promotion of Guyana’s tourism product.

Also making remarks was immediate past president of the Guyana Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), Mr. Clinton Urling, and Mr. Bobby Vieira; as well as Chairman of the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), Mr. Hugh Denbow.

Initially, JAGS Aviation, founded by Mr. Umadat Jaggernauth, was established on October 31st, 2006 as a domestic charter company with the aim of providing air transport and support to the mining sector of Guyana.

The company acquired its Air Operator’s Certificate from the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority on March 9th, 2007, and began commercial operation on March 11th, 2007. Charter flights to various locations in Guyana for sightseeing and other purposes were offered. In addition to the interior charter flights, cargo flights, passenger flights, medical evacuation, aerial surveys, shuttles and overseas charters were also offered.

Grove Police help East Bank children with school supplies –in hopes of curtailing truancy

By Leroy Smith

RANKS at the Grove Police Station on the East Bank of Demerara, backed by members of the Station Management Committee, have donated several school items and some amount of groceries to children within the East Bank Demerara communities stretching from Grove to Garden of Eden, which falls under the Number Two sub-division of the

Guyana Police Force’s ‘A’ Division.

The donation of books, bags and shoes, acquired from members of the business community, partly in cash and partly in materials and other items, was given to the children last Thursday in the presence of their parents, guardians and senior police ranks.

Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle following the distribution, Woman Sergeant, Lorna Adonis

related that the police and members of the Station Management Committee visited East Bank Demerara communities between Grove and Garden of Eden and met with children who were living under difficult circumstances, and whose parents or guardians were not financially strong to prepare them for the new school term, which begins next week.

Adonis said this initiative was aimed at reducing

the truancy level within the district, and to ensure that children attend school on each required day. She admonished the children to not just receive the items, but to ensure that they were put to their intended use.

Adonis said that, at present, the station is enjoying the relationship it is sharing with both the business community and members of the various communities under its control.

And addressing the gath-

ering, ‘A’ Division Commander, Clifton Hicken said he was pleased that the initiative of assisting children was not coming only from the central division, but was decentralised. He tasked the police in the sub-division to identify the best three performing students out of the lot at the next end-ofterm examination, so those children could be rewarded for their effort.

Hicken reminded that education is indeed very im-

portant to the development of children, and he called on parents to ensure they play a meaningful role in the lives of their children, and to ensure that they create for their children a foundation that others can build upon.

The commander told the parents that their responsibility was to ensure they play a role in the educational life of their children, and not leave it to the ministries and school teachers.

The children listened attentively to Sergeant Adonis as she spoke to them

Mahdia to benefit from massive infrastructure upgrades this year

By Clifford Stanley

RESIDENTS of the mining community of Mahdia in Region 8 (Potaro/Siparuni) will benefit from massive infrastructure works, including asphalted internal roads and a $80M water treatment plant, among other development initiatives this year.

Disclosing this at the commencement of Mining Week 2014, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment (MNR&E) said that along with the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC), it remains resolute in its commitment of support to the mining sector in general

and to the community of Mahdia in particular.

“We are cognizant of the challenges and constraints facing the mining sector and every effort is being made to overcome these challenges,” a release from the Ministry said.

It disclosed, among the imminent upgrades, that the GGMC recently signed a contract for $70.0 Million for the rehabilitation of the road from Brian Sucre Junction to Mahdia.

This road works has commenced and will be using new technology (material for mechanical stabilization of pavements) to ensure that value for money spent is achieved.

The Government and the Ministry, the release said further, are cognizant of the conditions of the internal roads of Mahdia and as such plans are in train to asphalt the roads, particularly since monies have been expended on continuous rehabilitation of laterite surfaces.

In this regard, a site visit and inspection for the paving of Mahdia’s internal roads will be done through the Ministry of Local Government.

A preliminary estimate to asphalt the internal roads has been examined and the project is expected to commence in the last quarter of 2014.

The Ministry and the

Commission will also be providing financial assistance to desilt two creeks, namely Boysie and Anna creeks, at a cost of $2.5 Million.

This will reduce the overflow of the creeks and subsequent flooding that occurs and disrupts the lives of residents during the rainy season.

Financing will also be provided for the construction of a Water Treatment Facility for Mahdia at an estimated cost of $80.0 Million.

The importance and effect of a stable and potable water supply for Mahdia, the Ministry disclosed, cannot be over-emphasised and

Adequate supply of furniture in schools assured for new school term THE Ministry of Education has announced that the new academic year 2014/2015 will see additional furniture in all schools to accommodate every child in the new school term, commencing on Monday September 1st.

According to a press release issued by the Ministry of Education yesterday, so far 90% of schools have already received their supply of furniture, while schools in Region 4 (Demerara/Mahaica) and Region 8 (Potaro/ Siparuni) are expected to have all their furniture by the end of September.

Meanwhile, contractors will continue to deliver furniture during this current week.

In understanding the importance of education in the development of a country, the Government of Guyana allocated $300M for the construction and

vant contracts.

“The contractors undertook to ensure that they meet the conditions t o w h i c h t h e y a g re e d under the various contracts and expressed a deep understanding of the necessity to provide good furniture in a timely manner.”

Minister of Education Priya Manickchand

provision of furniture, thus allowing each child with a better environment to pursue their education.

In addition, the release noted that Minister of Education Priya Manickchand met in July with builders to discuss the importance of contractors meeting their contractual obligations, specifically emphasising the importance of

contractors delivering the furniture on time and of an acceptable quality.

The release said, “Minister Manickchand told the meeting that the most desirous outcome would be that quality furniture is delivered on time but emphasised that if these requirements are not met, the Government will apply penalties under the rele-

it is in this regard that funding is provided to Guyana Water Inc. to ensure that the facility is completed in a timely manner, the Ministry said.

The water treatment facility will include the construction of a 360 m3 capacity ground storage

tank costing $40 Million; the rehabilitation of source intake, desilting and sealing of existing porous channel at Salbora Creek at a cost of $20 Million; and rehabilitation works on the water distribution system at an estimated cost of $20 Million.

Ramdin, Bravo....

Manchester City ominous after cruising past Liverpool (REUTERS) - A Stevan Jovetic double and a third to Sergio Aguero helped Manchester City send out an ominous warning to those with designs on their Premier League crown, routing Liverpool 3-1 in the first heavyweight clash of the new season yesterday.

With new signing Mario Balotelli watching from the stands, last season’s runners-up Liverpool looked lively in miserable conditions at Etihad Stadium, but an error from debutant Alberto Moreno allowed the Montenegro international to smash the ball home on 41 minutes.

He grabbed his second 10 minutes after the restart, putting away Samir Nasri’s low cross, while Aguero scored 23 seconds after coming on as a substitute as Manuel Pellegrini’s side put down an early-season statement of intent.

After going agonisingly close to winning their first league title in 24 years last season, Liverpool are desperate to mount another creditable challenge, but despite nine new arrivals they are still looking to adjust to life without Luis Suarez.

The Merseysiders failed to seriously trouble Joe Hart despite having plenty of ball and earned a consolation through a Pablo Zabaleta own goal when the result was already sealed.

“Every game we play at home against the big four teams is like six points and you have to make a statement,” midfielder Nasri told Sky Sports.

“It’s important. Last year Jovetic was injured and we saw in pre-season he was on fire and today was a big start for him for this season.”

The pre-match interest surrounded the return of the controversial Balotelli to the Premier League after a season and a half at AC Milan, having previously quit City after falling out with then manager Roberto Mancini.

The 24-year-old Italian appeared at ease in his old stomping ground, warmly greeting some of his old team mates before taking a seat in the stand. On the pitch both sides looked dangerous on the break, with 19-year-old Raheem Sterling particularly lively on Liverpool’s right and giving Gael Clichy plenty of defensive work.

Racing Tips

Ramdin struck 11 sixes while Bravo contributed eight and while they made merry, although none of it would have happened if Bangladesh had held onto their chances Mushfiqur missed a stumping off Bravo, batting on 10, when Abdur Razzak beat him in length. The ball was so poorly fumbled that the wicketkeeper flailed at air when he tried for a second time. Razzak had his own gaffe when he didn’t get under a looping ball in mid-on after Ramdin skied Mashrafe on 35.

Razzak lost his form, bowling much too short and far too quickly. Gazi’s struggles might be understandable, considering the scrutiny surrounding his bowling actions.

He hardly found a rhythm, and was perhaps wrongly entrusted with the first over of the match with all the focus on him.

Al-Amin was the only saving grace, ending up with his sec-

Just like National Anti-Doping Organisations (NADOs), RADOS have an imperative role to play in ensuring that all the grouped countries are able to comply with and implement the many anti-doping rules and regulations bestowed upon us all by the World Anti-Doping Code and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

The Caribbean RADO has a responsibility to provide education on the use of drugs and doping methods in sport, as well as to promote and coordinate the fight against doping in sport among the countries of the Caribbean. Its core vision is to value and foster doping-free sport in the Caribbean.

The organisation provides various resources, seminars and workshops to athletes, coaches, sport-related administrative personnel and the public on matters relating to the antidoping process and the sporting arena. It also encourages the active participation of National Sports Associations who have the serious responsibility of ensuring that their members have all the information that is necessary to be fully knowledgeable and aware of the anti-doping programme as well

ond four-wicket haul in ODIs, both coming in this series. But he could rein in the West Indies batsmen.

West Indies also faced difficulty with Bangladesh’s third-wicket stand. Mushfiqur and Tamim added 99 runs with a bit of style, but the bluster was obviously missing.

Anamul Haque and Imrul Kayes were gone by the first eleven balls, the latter to Kemar Roach’s stunning one-handed catch at midon. Mahmudullah offered some more resistance through a 55-run fifth wicket stand with his captain.

The contest faded away in the 22nd over when Tamim got out, and the rest of the game couldn’t have ended sooner.

The abiding memory from the first-ever day-night match at Warner Park, though, would be what happened during day time.

as to support and comply with it.

The seminar seeks to highlight and foster discussions on the challenge of doping which dates back to the 1920s when Ancient Greek athletes used special diets and stimulating potions to fortify themselves.

Strychnine, caffeine, cocaine, and alcohol were often used by cyclists and other endurance athletes in the 19th century. For instance, Thomas Hicks ran to victory in the marathon at the 1904 Olympic Games, in Saint Louis, with the help of raw egg, injections of strychnine and doses of brandy administered to him during the race. By the 1920s it had become evident that restrictions regarding drug use in sports were necessary.

Today authorities are faced with new innovations. However, they are not hindered in any way, since they have the necessary technology to help them effectively carry out their tasks.

It is therefore incumbent on athletes, coaches and sport managers to exercise diligence, professionalism, tact and be well informed about the restricted substances and the impact such substances can have on an athlete’s career.

England have no hope at World Cup, says Swann LONDON, England (Reuters) - England have no hope of winning next year’s World Cup because of their “oldfashioned” approach to the one-day game, according to former spinner Graeme Swann.

Swann, who retired from international cricket during the 5-0 Ashes series defeat in Australia in December, believes the one-day team need to do away with the old guard in favour of exciting new talent if they are to succeed in the 50-over format.

Swann said captain Alastair Cook, who is set to lead the side at the 50-over tournament in Australia and New Zealand in February, should just concentrate on skippering the Test team.

“We won’t win this World Cup,” Swann, who took 104 wickets in 79 one-day internationals, told BBC radio yesterday.

“In four years’ time, we might have a chance if we get in all the exciting players who have none of the baggage of the old-style brand we play.

“I used to sit in the changing room and always felt we were so far behind other teams because we play such an old-fashioned brand.”

Cook, who has scored 2 967 ODI runs, should step aside and let Eoin Morgan lead the team, Swann said.

“I love Cookie dearly.

“But I don’t think he should be bothering to play one-day cricket anymore. He doesn’t need to. He’s proved a very good point in Test matches.

“He should just enjoy being England Test captain. Let in the young people who just want to smash it everywhere.

“He’s not the guy who should be opening the batting in one-day cricket for England. (James)

No longer in fashion: Ian Bell and Alastair Cook “are not one-day players who are going to win you a World Cup” according to Graeme Swann © Getty Images Vince should be doing it with (Alex) Hales in a young vibrant team with Morgan as captain.”

Swann spoke after England’s opening oneday international of a five-match series against India was abandoned without a ball being bowled in Bristol due to heavy rain.

The match was due to see talented opener Alex Hales make his ODI debut for England. The 25-yearold is a regular in the country’s Twenty20 team and Swann believes his call up to the 50-over side is long overdue.

“Hales should have been in this side for two or three years,” he said.

“He got 99 in a T20 international against West Indies at Trent Bridge.

How did the powers-thatbe not see that as the future of one-day opening bat?

“Cook, (Ian) Bell and (Gary) Ballance are not players who will win you a World Cup. Hales will, as will James Vince, Jason Roy, Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler.

“They are players I wouldn’t want to bowl at - players who could potentially get you 360/370 on the board.”

England play India, world champions in the 50-over format of the game, in the second ODI of their series in Cardiff tomorrow.

Australia hit record 350-run ODI tally to crush Zimbabwe HARARE, Zimbabwe (Reuters) - Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh both fell agonisingly short of centuries but still helped Australia to a record oneday international tally at the Harare Sports Club as they crushed Zimbabwe by 198 runs yesterday.

Australia’s 350 for six off 50 overs beat by 10 runs the highest total for any team at the venue in an ODI and marked a satisfying start to preparations for the World Cup they co-host with New Zealand early next year.

Zimbabwe could only muster 152 in reply, bowled out with more than 10 overs left in the opening match of the triangular series in Zimbabwe’s capital.

The 25-year-old Maxwell hit a rapid-fire 93 off 46 balls before being caught in the deep as he swung lustily trying to hit a third successive six.

He had been on course to break team mate James Faulkner’s 57-ball record for the fastest Australian ODI hundred.

Marsh was out for 89 off 83 balls but the century partnership between the pair contributed to a blistering 147 runs off the last 10 overs.

Maxwell included an outrageous display of ambidextrous shot-making in his innings, hitting nine fours and clearing the boundary five times.

SHATTERING GLASS But the most powerful shot of the innings came from Mitchell Johnson whose six off Tinashe Panyangara in the penultimate over struck the window of the television commentary box, shattering the glass and cutting

Aaron Finch helped Australia get off to good start but was caught down the leg side for 67 while fellow opener Brad Haddin was first out for 46 just before Australia reached three figures in the 18th over.

Zimbabwe lost their first wicket after eight balls when Tino Mawoyo was trapped leg-before by Mitchell Starc but Hamilton Masakadza and the Pakistan-born Sikandar Raza put on 63 for the second wicket as the home side displayed some fighting spirit.

But after Raza was caught, Masakadza watched a procession of partners come and go at

regular intervals before he was seventh man out, stumped for 70.

Johnson conceded only seven runs in the six overs he bowled, taking one wicket.

Australia next play South Africa at the same venue tomorrow in the second game of the triseries in which each country will play each other twice with a final to follow on September 6.

Australia, without captain Michael Clarke who missed the game because of a hamstring strain, were playing their first ODI since beating England in Adelaide in late January.

They have a minimum of 15 ODIs planned before the World Cup starts next February.

RAFMAN ALI TOURNAMENT

Regal Masters and Wolf Warriors share spoils

By Calvin Roberts WHEN the curtain was drawn on the Rafman Ali-organised softball tournament last Sunday, Regal Masters and Wolf Warriors were the two victorious sides in the Masters T20 and Open 15/15 categories, having defeated Parika Defenders and Regal XI at the Better Hope ground.

Batting first against Parika Defenders in the first final of the day’s doubleheader, Regal Masters, on the back of 52 from Eric Thomas and 38 from Tony Amerally, piled up 146 for 8 off their 20 overs, before bowling out Parika Defenders for 74 to win by a whopping 72 runs.

In the second final Regal XI invited their nemesis Wolf Warriors to take first strike, following which the West Demerara-based side scored what turned out to be a match-winning 146, thanks to 49 from Safraz Karim and 43 from Azad Azeez.

In reply, Regal XI never got going and, despite a resilient 46 from Patrick Rooplall, were limited to 105 for 8 when their overs expired, handing Wolf

The victorious Wolf Warriors lineup and some of their supporters strike a pose after defeating Regal XI in the Open final, with their team’s sponsor Imran Hussain proudly displaying the championship spoils in the forefront.

Warriors the victory by 41 runs and the $100 000 top prize, while they got an additional $50 000 from Shahab Hack.

Regal XI must have fancied their chances of emulating their Masters, when Pritvi Motilall (1 for 15) bowled the dangerous Ricardo Adams (0) off the first delivery of the Open final which was a 15-oversa-side contest.

However, Karim who struck five sixes and two fours in his 49 and Azeez, who had five sixes in his innings, added 94 for the second wicket from seven overs, before Troy Kippins, who had earlier played in the Masters final, engineered a Wolf Warriors’ collapse by taking 3 for 32.

The eventual winners were bowled out for their final total off the last delivery

of their innings, even though skipper Amit Jairam offered support to Azeez and Karim with his 25, as his side lost their remaining nine wickets for 52 runs from eight overs.

In their turn at the wicket, Regal XI were never allowed to get on top of the bowling

BCCI calls Dhoni comments on Fletcher as ‘personal opinion’

By Sudipto Ganguly MUMBAI, India (Reuters) - The Indian cricket board (BCCI) has labelled Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s comments as “personal opinion” after the national team’s captain said beleaguered coach Duncan Fletcher still called the shots and would lead them into next year’s World Cup. “I have not spoken to Dhoni and so the BCCI will not like to react to his comments,” BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel told Reuters yesterday about Dhoni’s comments on the eve of their one-day series against England which appeared to undermine former captain Ravi Shastri.

“However, it seemed to me as his personal opinion.”

Shastri was appointed as director of cricket for the one-day series as part of a coaching shake-up following the 3-1 Test series defeat.

The appointment had created questions about Fletcher’s role after bowling coach Joe Dawes and fielding mentor Trevor Penney were also given a ‘break’ for the series by the BCCI. Sanjay Bangar and Bharat Arun were made assistant coaches and R. Sridhar named as fielding coach.

The 52-year-old Shastri, who played 80 Tests and 150 ODIs for India, said after his appointment

Mahendra Singh Dhoni the team staff, including Fletcher, would report to him.

The 33-year-old Dhoni, who leads India in all three formats and captained the side to their 50-over World Cup victory at home in 2011, however, said Fletcher was still firmly in charge.

“Definitely he (Fletcher) will lead us into the World Cup,” Dhoni told reporters in Bristol on the eve of the five-match series. “Also he is still the boss.

“We have Ravi (Shastri) who will look into everything, but Duncan Fletcher is the boss. It’s not as if his powers or his position have been curtailed.

“I don’t know what you feel from outside, but still operations remain the same.

“We have a few other support staff who come into the dressing room, but overall the operation remains the same.”

Grove trounce Diamond to remain on course for title … Agricola get past Timehri

Gordon Grant GROVE Hi Tech solidified their hold at the top of the standings with a workmanlike 9-1 drubbing of Diamond United while Agricola Red Triangle took care of Timehri Panthers 3-1 when rivalry in the Stag Beer/East Bank Football Association (EBFA) division-one league continued last Sunday at the Grove Playfield.

Led by their captain and the competition’s leading goalscorer Domini Garnett

(13 goals) who blasted a hat-trick, Grove proved to be too much for Diamond to handle on a cool Sunday afternoon which saw a damp pitch owing to Saturday’s heavy rainfall which left the ground waterlogged and also resulted in the postponement of the CULT Under-17 semifinals.

However, on Sunday there were no damp feelings in terms of the on-field play.

Diamond drew first blood in just the second minute of play when Mark Jhingoree’s looping shot from the left side was too well-paced for goalkeeper Michael Matthews to handle as it eased over his outstretched fingers into the back of the net.

Diamond were happy to at least put their opponents on the back foot even if it was for a few minutes and as it turned out it was indeed for a few short minutes, as the home team fired back to

cancel out the lead in the 6th minute with Sherman Doris firing past custodian Andre Gibbs.

Clive Matthews Jr eased Grove into the lead with a well-taken free kick from

Grove Hi-Tech marksman Domini Garnett in action last Sunday

about 30 yards out. Gibbs and the Diamond defence could not keep it out in the 12th minute. Even at this juncture, Diamond looked as if they were going to keep up with Grove but couldn’t find their touch that brought the opening goal.

Colin Lancaster netted the first of his brace in the 19th minute before captain Garnett tucked in his first in the 38th minute. Lancaster hit the network again in the 40th minute; Grove’s fifth ended the half 5-1.

In the second half there was no stopping Grove as they fired in four more.

Garnett was on target again (64th, 67th) and Joel Dick, who came on in the second half also inked his name on the score sheet (79th minute); three minutes earlier, John Matthews converted.

The win for Grove has put them six points ahead of their closest rival, Soesdyke Falcons who are on 21.

Murray and Williams make hard work in heat at U.S. Open

By Larry Fine

NEW YORK, NY (Reuters) - Some busy bees made life difficult for two grizzled veterans and a pair of favourites were forced to work extra hard on a steamy opening day at the U.S. Open tennis championships yesterday.

Eighth-seeded 2012 champion Andy Murray fought off cramps to beat Dutchman Robin Haase in four painful sets, while women’s second seed Simona Halep lost a first-set tiebreak to U.S. debutante Danielle Collins before claiming victory.

A fascinating match-up between 19th seed Venus Williams and Kimiko DateKrumm of Japan, the oldest players in the women’s draw, was joined by some pesky bees that refused to leave them alone.

First the 43-year-old Japanese player and later 34-year-old Williams dipped, ducked and danced away before ballgirls helped usher the determined bees off the baseline.

When finally left to play tennis on sun-bathed Arthur Ashe Stadium court, seventime grand slam singles winner Williams stung DateKrumm 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 to

advance.

Asked about who presented the peskier test in the two-hour match, two-time U.S. winner Williams said: “The bee was a challenge but easily the answer is Kimiko.

“The way she hits the ball is like no one else on tour and

USA’s Venus Williams (seeded 19th) after beating Kimiko Date-Krumm (Japan) on day one of the 2014 U.S. Open tennis tournament at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. it’s never easy to get a rhythm with her, and all our matches have been tough. So I’m happy to have pulled it out.”

MURRAY CRAMPED Murray looked on his way to an easy victory, before he fell victim to cramps that left

him stretching and straining to get comfortable before clinching a 6-3, 7-6 (6), 1-6, 7-5 victory over Haase.

“I cramped a little bit, in my forearms, it was not particularly comfortable and I just tried to hang around as best I could and managed to get through,” said Murray, who has been struggling to reach top form since last year’s back surgery.

“I was in good position at two sets up to none. I didn’t know whether to go for it in the third set or try to conserve energy at the beginning of the fourth.

“It was tough, but also very tough for Robin as well, but managed to get through.”

Twice U.S. Open semifinalist Mikhail Youzhny of Russia, the 21st seed, was not able to advance, falling to big-serving Australian teenager Nick Kyrgios 7-5, 7-6 (4), 2-6, 7-6 (1).

The 19-year-old Kyrgios, who made a Wimbledon splash by ousting Rafael Nadal in the fourth round to reach the quarter-finals, blasted in 26 aces.

The 60th-ranked Kyrgios advanced to a second-round match against Italy’s Andreas Seppi, who beat Sergiy Stakhovsky 6-3, 6-1, 6-4.

Women’s second seed

Simona Halep survived a scare in the tournament’s opening match on stadium court before overtaking Collins 6-7 (2), 6-1, 6-2.

The 22-year-old Romanian, a finalist at the French Open, admitted to a case of nerves in being thrust onto the big stage as the opening act of the season’s last grand slam.

“She played a tough match, I want to congratulate her,” Halep said about her 20-year-old opponent, who was given a wild card for winning the U.S. college championship.

“The first set I was a little bit nervous. This court is huge.

“I have to enjoy it, but it’s not easy. Everybody is telling me I have chances to win this title.”

She moves on to face Slovakian Jana Cepelova, a 2-6, 7-5, 6-1 winner over Spain’s Maria-Teresa TorroFlor, in the second round of the season’s last grand slam.

Also advancing on the women’s side were fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, who routed Canadian Sharon Fichman 6-1, 6-0, while sixth seed Angelique Kerber of Germany, needed three sets to get past Russian Ksenia Pervak 6-2, 3-6, 7-5.

The afternoon got under way with Agricola Red Triangle easing to a 3-1 win over Timehri Panthers.

Gordon Grant, who started the game as joint-leading goalscorer (10) with Domini Garnett, netted a double in leading his side to victory.

Grant scored in the 4th and 23rd minutes; Sheldon Gurrick put the icing on the

cake in the 63rd minute.

Timehri had pulled one back in the 20th minute through Hubert Adams and stood toe-to-toe with Agricola for the most part.

The win for the Agricola boys saw them overtake Timehri for third, easing two points clear of them. More action is set for Sunday at the same venue.

Spencer, James grab headlines in Birmingham BIRMINGHAM, England (CMC) – Jamaican Kaliese Spencer raced to her second fastest time of the year while Grenada’s Olympic champion Kirani James also cruised, as they racked up wins in the Birmingham Grand Prix here Sunday.

Spencer clocked 53.80 seconds to take her fifth Diamond League victory of the campaign at the Alexander Stadium, beating British runner Eilidh Child into second in 54.89.

Czech Denisa Rosolova crossed the line third in a time of 55.65.

Spencer led from the outset and though chased down by Child, held her nerve over the last 200 metres to complete an impressive victory. The win for Spencer left her as by far the most dominant 400m hurdler in the world this year and she was understandably elated.

“I’m very pleased to be victorious today. I’ve been winning most of my races so it’s definitely been a good season,” Spencer said.

James, meanwhile, also grabbed a share of the headlines, destroying his field to win in a time of 44.59 seconds, well ahead of the second-placed Isaac

Kaliese Spencer posts her fifth win of the Diamond League.

Makwala of Botswana who came home in 45.02.

James’s main rival, American Lashawn Merritt, was not in the lineup.

In the women’s 100 metres, Jamaican Kerron Stewart out-leaned five sprinters to claim victory in 11.22 seconds while in the corresponding men’s event – a non-Diamond League race – Commonwealth sprint champion Kemar Bailey-Cole of Jamaica edged out fellow countryman Nesta Carter in 10.08 seconds.

Jamaican Nickel Ashmeade was also in winners’ row, capturing the 200 metres in 20.33 seconds over Panamanian Alonso Edward (20.35).

By Michael DaSilva THE Trinidad and Tobago Racing Association (TTRA) has pledged to assist the Guyana Horse Racing Authority (GHRA) to get its house in order.

MCYS to host Anti-Doping seminar for coaches and sports managers IN light of the challenge faced by many sport athletes, with regard to the use of illegal performance-enhancement products, many steps have been made globally to address the situation which has seen several athletes being suspended from their respective sport discipline and their medals retrieved.

The most recent cases of such incidents include American cyclist, Lance Armstrong and Jamaican track and field star Asafa Powell.

With this in mind, the Government of Guyana, through the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, will be hosting a seminar for coaches and team managers on Friday, September 5, commencing at 09:45hrs at the Resource Centre.

The topics that will be discussed include WADA/RADO role in anti-doping, doping in sports – why worry, the list of prohibited substances, responsibilities of managers/coaches in the context of doping, testing protocol, athletes whereabouts - importance, results management and penalties for positive test.

In the Caribbean, the Regional Anti-Doping Organisations (RADOs) were created to combine the efforts, resources and capacity of many countries from specific geographical regions into one organisational anti-doping body. Turn to page 25

Ramdin, Bravo tons help Windies complete 3-0 whitewash Darren Bravo and Denesh Ramdin put on the highest third-wicket stand in ODIs Denesh Ramdin wouldn’t have had as much fun on a cricket field as yesterday afternoon at Warner Park. His malevolent 169 was part of the highest third wicket partnership in ODIs with Darren Bravo, who also accumulated a century, and ensured West Indies completed a 3-0 whitewash by 91 runs.

The hosts were catapulted to 338 for 7 in 50 overs, a score that

was well out of Bangladesh’s reach especially at a time when their batsmen are scraping the bottom of the confidence barrel. But they are due some for bouncing back after such a hiding, making 247 for 8, having lasted their full quota.

Bangladesh were 2 for 2 in the second over and were threatening to sink further, but Tamim Iqbal struck his first international fifty in more than nine months and 18

innings. Mushfiqur Rahim top scored with 72, but since he holed out in the deep the last hopes his team had faded away.

West Indies’ bowlers could bide their time thanks to Ramdin and Bravo. The duo clattered 19 sixes, the most by West Indies in an ODI en route to amassing 258 runs for the third wicket, beating the previous record held by Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers by 20 runs.

For most of their union, it was hard to see past their bats as they dined on a bowling attack that was at times perfect for big hitting.

Mashrafe Mortaza and AlAmin Hossain, despite the early promise, barely clocked above 130 kmph while Abdur Razzak, Sohag Gazi and Mahmudullah persisted with shortish darts.

With a moderate-sized ground, a flat surface and with a bit of wind behind them, West Indies simply took off.

The early losses of Lendl Simmons and Chris Gayle were

forgotten with Ramdin and Bravo using singles to ease the pressure. But there was a change is tactics in the 19th over - 10 runs were taken off it, 19 was smacked in the 22nd over, with Ramdin peppering the crowd behind midwicket and Bravo opting to go straight.

Ramdin razed three sixes off Mortaza in the 38th over and hurtled to his second century in four ODIs. Bravo reached his hundred soon after, a knock that was a long time coming as he has struggled to convert fifties into three-figure marks in ODIs. Turn to page 25 TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2014
