US Congress approves establishment of a DEA office here

- President hails move as a deterrent to would-be narco-traffickers

By Vanessa Narine TALKS with the United States of America (USA) to have the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) establish a branch here in Guyana have met with success. And, with the blessing of the US Congress, equipped DEA personnel will be based in Georgetown at the US Embassy, Duke Street, very soon. Previous cooperation between Guyana’s law enforcement and the US was done through a DEA office based in neighbouring Trinidad. The announcement was made at a joint news conference hosted by President Donald Ramotar and outgoing US Ambassador, Brent Hardt. TANGIBLE ACTION In welcoming Congress’ approval of the venture, President Ramotar noted that this move will see Guyana being ably supported with increased capacity to crackdown on narco-traffickers.

“The very fact that we will have people here on the ground 24/7,” he said, “will enhance the issue of information sharing and the probability of building stronger cases against people. We can have more success. “I hope with this close cooperation we will be able to build strong cases. I am hoping for a big improvement in this regard.”

in this regard... and he personally put a lot of effort into this… Now, hopefully, we can make our country much more immune from this type of activity.” Noting that narco-trafficking is not unique to any one country, President Ramotar said: “All of you would know that from the beginning of my tenure, I have always expressed the

‘I want to make our country totally inhospitable to those who try to use Guyana to traffic drugs, and use our country for illicit activities…I hope this stronger cooperation will help to push this forward’ - President Donald Ramotar Mr. Ramotar pointed out too that the realisation of a local DEA office is due to the “hard work” of Ambassador Hardt. “This is something we have been working on for a long time,” the President said. “A lot of this is due to the energy and the efforts of Ambassador Brent Hardt, who has done a lot of work

view that narco-trafficking is an international problem, and that for us to successfully combat that there is definite need for international cooperation in dealing with this issue.” He made it clear that moves like the one afoot will serve to make Guyana “inhospitable” to criminal elements. “I want to make

From Page 3 will help to push this forward,” he said. M r. R a m o t a r a l s o seized the opportunity yesterday to highlight the importance of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) (Amendment) Bill. “Anyone who is against n a r c o - t r a ff i c k i n g a n d against fighting criminals who are involved in this activity should be happy

to pass this Bill,” he said, adding: “Not passing this Bill will create an atmosphere that they (criminals) can do their business... The whole idea of the Bill is to block any loopholes in every country of the world, to prevent illegal and illicit gains from being laundered and to discourage this type of activity.” ADDED CAPACITY According to Ambassador Hardt, the DEA

brings to the table the ability to build those cases against major traff i c k i n g o rg a n i s a t i o n s . “Once we get the units vetted to the global DEA standards,” he said, “then the information sharing element will become that much more effective smoother.” He said the “extra capacity” will strengthen what is already a “strong partnership” as the cooperation in cracking down on narco-trafficking is taken to another level. Noting that the DEAO has been working very

closely with the Guyana Police Force (GPF) and Customs Anti-narcotics Unit (CANU) for many years, Ambassador Hardt said: “I have always believed that a DEA office on the ground in Guyana would allow us to take our counter-narcotics cooperation to an even higher level.” The Ambassador made it clear that the DEA does not operate on its own in any country that an office is based. “They don’t do investigations on their own,” he said. “The DEA

works with their partners in the host country... T h e y d o n ’t g o a r o u n d taking people down; the local partner does that. It (the operations) has to be based on an agreement and partnership. The Government has been very supportive from the outset, and we are confident that we have a solid partner to work with here.” Hardt said the process of moving equipment has already started, and the personnel to man the DEA local office have already been identified and are available to start work soon. “It will be a gradual movement of personnel; it will move very quickly… This has been in the works for a long time,” the US Ambassador said. He reiterated that the more personnel on the ground and on hand will increase the effectiveness of addressing illegal acts. “The more you are on hand, on the ground you will be more effective…as opposed to being in Trini-

dad,” Hardt said. He also lauded the Government of Guyana for its willingness to work closely with the US Embassy and the DEA to facilitate closer operational coordination with Guyanese law enforcement authorities. “The Government’s indications of its commitment to a closer law enforcement partnership, I would wish to note, has played an important role in making this decision possible…your (President Ramotar ’s) vital support for a close law enforcement partnership between our countries. The United States looks forward to working even closer with Guyana in the years ahead to protect our citizens from the persistent and always evolving threat from narc o - t r a ff i c k e r s , ” H a r d t said. The DEA is the US’ lead agency for domestic enforcement of federal drug laws, and for coordinating and pursuing US drug investigations abroad.

President rejects Hardt’s ‘bargaining chip’ position on AML/CFT Bill

President Donald Ramotar By Vanessa Narine PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar yesterday rejected the position taken by outgoing US Ambassador, Brent Hardt on the use of the critically important Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) (Amendment) Bill as a bargaining chip. In an article published in yesterday’s edition of the Kaieteur News, under the headline, ‘Bargaining over AML Bill for compromise is democratic – US Ambassador’, Hardt said using the Bill to negotiate or bargain is “not only acceptable, but

it is the very essence of democracy,” even as he acknowledged the importance of having the Bill passed. The President told the Guyana Chronicle in an invited comment that this is one of several areas where positions differ between Guyana and the US. NO BARGAINING CHIP “This is one of the areas we differ on,” he said. “I think this (the Bill) is too important an issue; it has too great an implication for our country for it to be a bargaining chip.” Both Opposition parties, A Partnership for National

Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC), have linked conditionalities to their support for passage of the AML/CFT (Amendment) Bill. APNU proposed three amendments, which were included in that party’s draft amendments to the Principal AML/CFT Act, and President Donald Ramotar said those would be supported by his Government were APNU to agree to pass the AML/CFT (Amendment) Bill. This offer was rejected. Additionally, APNU’s position is an ‘all-or-nothing’ one, as that Party maintains its demands not only for its amendments to be fully included in the Bill, but has also restated its call on the President to give his assent to several Bills passed in the National Assembly, including the Local Authorities (Elections) (Amendment) Bill 2013, which states that elections must be held on or before August 1, 2014. President Ramotar has already forwarded his explanation for his non-assent to the National Assembly. On the other hand, the AFC, which fully supports the APNU position, is demanding establishment of the Public Procurement Commission (PPC), which the Government has agreed to, provided that Cabinet retains its no-objection role in the process; but the latter position has been rejected by the AFC. However, on May 29, after the announcement by CFATF, the AFC, in a statement, noted that it is now willing to budge on its position and support

Man accused of disturbing another man’s sleep appears on assault charge from his sleep, and Hodge became annoyed and dealt Crawford a chop to the wrist of his left arm. Prosecutor Mangru did not object to bail, and the case was transferred to Mahdia Court for July 14.

By Geeta Rampersaud T W E N T Y- T H R E E YEAR-OLD, Kelvan Hodge, a labourer of Lot 8 Calcutta, Mahaicony, ECD, allegedly inflicted grievous bodily harm on Wendell Crawford with intent to maim, disfigure, or cause him grievous bodily harm at Uewang Backdam, Pataro-Siparuni on June 21 last, after Crawford had accused Hodge of disturbing him from sleep. The unrepresented Hodge appeared Wednesday before Chief Magistrate, Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, denied the charge, and was placed on $150,000 bail.

Defendant Kelvan Hodge Police Prosecutor Bharat Mangru detailed to the court that on the day in question, Crawford and Hodge had a misunderstanding over Hodge disturbing Crawford

Cabinet’s retention of its noobjection role. PATRIOTIC STANCE The Head of State repeated his earlier calls for a sense of patriotism to prevail to ensure that average Guyanese are spared the consequences of sanctions by the international watchdog, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), over the non-enactment of the Bill. “I think it is something that calls for patriotism, because, as a poor and developing country like ours, the impact will be felt more than in a huge country like the United States,” President Ramotar said. He stressed that the issue at hand is bigger than narrow political plays, particularly since it is the welfare of the Guyanese people, regardless of whether or not they are supporters of the Government, and that of the country that is at stake. “A lot of this has to do with patriotism and love of country, which is what this Bill demands at this point in time,” the President said. The Bill to meet the requirements of the FATFStyle Regional Bodies (FSRB), the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF), was tabled in the National Assembly in April 2013, but was referred to a Parliamentary Special Select Committee and was eventually voted down by the combined Opposition in November 2013. The Bill was re-tabled in December 2013, and was again referred to the Parliamentary Special

Holistic approach needed to address abuse of vulnerable In yesterday’s edition of the Chronicle, we published a news report which described a horrible tale of forced cohabitation of a young woman with an abusive man – for material things, by a mother. At only age twenty-five Tracey Culley is already a mother of three children, aged four years, 18 months and six months, borne within a four-year period of living with a spouse twelve years older than she is. One baby is overwhelming sometimes; but three? Although Tracey claims she only knows four years of abuse by her children’s father, yet she is reluctant to leave, and one of the main reasons she cites for her remaining in such a relationship that is potentially dangerous to her life is, as related, “Questioned intensely about her mother’s decision to encourage her daughter to stay in a relationship which is abusive and which has the potential to have her killed, Tracy related that her mother was among several other family members who encouraged her to stay in the abusive relationship since they benefit materially from the abuser.” Tracey poignantly asserts “When you have loving

between Guyana and the United States. “I thanked him for his personal openness and accessibility throughout my tenure. We have had very close and productive dialogue that you would expect among friends.” Hardt also acknowledged that while the two countries have shared goals, they have not always been in agreement on the path to achieving the goals. “Our countries enjoy a rich and textured relationship. We share common goals, values and aspirations for our people, while it is true that we may not always agree on the path to achieve those goals and values,” he said. The US Ambassador accepted this difference of opinion as “normal”, and explained that this is the “essence” of diplomatic work; trying to find ways forward that achieve the goals and aspirations we all seek. “From the time of my arrival, I have conveyed to President Ramotar that US priorities are to work in partnership with Guyana to build a Guyana that is prosperous, safe and secure, democratic and healthy. “Everything our mission has worked on these past three years has been toward those broad goals and shared goals,” he stressed. Dr Hardt underscored the efforts in law enforcement cooperation as one of the areas where partnership was boosted. He said, “Our cooperation has been boosted significantly by the extraordinary Caribbean Basin Security Initiative (CBSI) partnership…. It has developed intensely over the past few years, which has seen tremendous enhancements to Guyana’s capacity to combat illicit trafficking, most recently with the addition of three new Metal Shark vessels for the GDF that the President accepted on behalf of the Government. “But in addition to enhancing the capacity of our partners, it is really vital to be able to build on that capacity for closer operational engagement between our law enforcement agencies.” The US Ambassador is expected to leave Guyana in early July.

parents, you could go back to your mother’s house; if your parents are not loving, you cannot go back.” And therein is the crux of the dilemma of most victims, lack of loving parents – with most times the parents and guardians themselves being the abusers; and lack of societal support and infrastructural wherewithal. Recently the Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha opened its doors to abused children and vulnerable women; with shelter and care provided to the children and skills training offered to the women. However, skills need time to be developed and most mothers prefer to keep their children with them. In such instances, institutionalised care is not the answer. As was reported in this newspaper, Odessa Seenanan of Diamond, who was severely abused by her spouse and had to run from her home in fear for her life, received no help or protection from her husband. Instead police ranks reportedly joined with her husband to victimise her and make her homeless. Where then, and to whom should helpless and vulnerable women and children seek and appeal for sanctuary

EDITORIAL and shelter from their abusers? Suicides are on the increase, and so are spousal murders; and until and unless there are concrete solutions to these devastating societal ills, and greater protection offered to the vulnerable in society, there will continue to be Staceys, and Odessas and incestuous rapes, among the plethora of abuses plaguing this nation. The Chronicle report stated: “…when she (Stacey) was being abused by the father of her children, the 18-month-old child attempted to prevent her father from hitting her mother by blocking her mother from the punches and slaps that the father was dishing out in the house.” So babies are now doing what the police are mandated to, but often fail to do.

Travel Span intends to invest heavily in its Georgetown operations, says General Manager By Leroy Smith TRAVEL Span has taken a position to invest heavily in its Georgetown operations since according to the company’s General Manager in Georgetown, Vanita Jagnarine, the company has no intentions of pulling out of this market. She made the comment recently after being questioned by this newspaper about the number of competing airline services on the local market, including those plying the same routes as Travel Span. In addressing the decision by the airline to retreat from the skies several years ago, Jagnarine said that the move was based on financial considerations and feasibility which, she added, proved to be a wise move at the time. TRAINING FLIGHT ATTENDANTS Jagnarine said that the decision to invest in the training of thirty flight attendants who are Guyanese and based in this country is because the company realised that such an investment will serve the company well. This will encourage Guyanese to travel with an airline

on which their own nationals are working and who can relate to their native dialect. Travel Span in its drive to have an even stronger hold in the Guyana market has added Port of Spain to its travel destinations as well as New York. And the New York route, the General Manager noted, is very vital. According to Jagnarine, the company is not looking to grab on to other routes just yet since, according to her, plying the New York route is very sensitive with regards to the operations and demands. Once the airline is confident that it has the route fully under control with respect to the schedules and other small issues, they will launch into more routes. It was pointed out that the investment made by Travel Span in the training of the thirty Guyanese is unheard of since all other airlines have their attendants based outside of Guyana and carry other nationalities. Meanwhile, despite the many airlines and their presence in this country, Travel Span has reported fully booked flights for all the peak seasons since it decided to again part the clouds heading to its various destinations. Travel Span is owned by an overseas-based Guyanese.

Comprehensive Legal Education Reform urged for upcoming CARICOM Summit -- AG Nandlall By Derwayne Wills FOLLOWING discussions between the Government of Guyana, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), and the law schools of the Region, the upcoming CARICOM Heads of Government Meeting is set to address the comprehensive reform of legal education in the Region. Attorney General (AG) and Minister of Legal Affairs, Mr. Anil Nandlall, confirmed this situation during a symposium on the Future of Legal Education in CARICOM, organised by the Mooting Committee of the UG Department of Law under the ambit of Moot Court Guyana (MCG), held on Tuesday at the Education Lecture Theatre (ELT) of the University of Guyana (UG), Greater Georgetown. The AG commented that holding to the discussions, the second component of the agreement between the entities involved in the discussion, “was a decision taken that the Heads of Government Meeting, which is scheduled to take place on the 2nd July, will discuss the comprehensive review of legal education in the Caribbean.” “This comprehensive review is intended to address every facet of legal education in the Region,” Minister Nandlall disclosed. Present at the event were the Attorney-General; President of the Guyana Bar Association, Mr. Ronald BurchSmith; and Attorney-at-Law, Mr. Christopher Ram. The discussion attracted attention from some of the higher authorities of the University of Guyana, including Vice-Chancellor Professor

“From left are: Moderator and UG Law Lecturer, Ms. Christine McGowan; Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Mr. Anil Nandlall; President of the Guyana Bar Association, Mr. Ronald Burch-Smith; Attorney-at-Law Mr. Christopher Ram Jacob Opadeyi; Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Dr. Paloma Mohamed; Professor of Law, Mr. Justice Duke E.E. Pollard; Head of the Department of Law, Mr. Sheldon McDonald; and Attorneys-at-Law, Mr. Teni Housty and Mr. Basil Williams. The Attorney General, in his remarks, reaffirmed the commitment of the Government of Guyana in establishing a secure future for individuals aspiring to legal education in Guyana. He recalled that it was the People’s Progressive Party Administration that had brought the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme to the University of Guyana. According to him, students pursuing Law, 25 years before the intervention would complete the first year of legal education at the University of Guyana, and the final two years at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill campus. The Legal Affairs Minis-

ter underscored that the fundamental challenge to legal education in the Region was the delinquent stance taken by some CARICOM Governments in the subsidisation of students attending the Hugh Wooding Law School (HWLS), Norman Manley Law School (NMLS), and the UWI Cave Hill Law School. He noted that what obtains in the Region is an agreement by Governments to pay an economic cost, as half of the total tuition fees for students. And students were required to pay the remaining portion at “a very small, insignificant fee.” Minister Nandlall bemoaned that some Governments have found themselves indebted to the Council for Legal Education (CLE) to the tune of millions of United States dollars. According to him, Guyana had taken a principled position, because of economic constraints, to withhold obligation on paying the subsidised economic costs.

The Attorney General noted that the decision had resulted in Guyana being one of only three Caribbean nations not indebted to the CLE. The other two countries are Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago. Nandlall recalled that the question of whether there is a need for more lawyers in the profession has always been one of the topical concerns. The AG stressed that the solution approached by Guyana would be one that takes the best interests of the country and its students into consideration. “It must be one that will

guarantee and assure a quality legal education that is relevant, affordable and accessible…that will make our students understand their role and functions in society… [with] the interconnectivity of all these concepts to the economic and social advancement of our people and our country”, he asserted. On the question of establishing a law school in Guyana, the Attorney General urged for the system of discussions between the relevant authorities to be allowed to carry its course. He noted that if there is not a solution to the impasse, then establishing a law school in Guyana would not be overlooked. He said, however, that such a law school ought to be established under the ambit of the CLE, which would not be limited to students from Guyana. He noted that persons from other Caribbean territories must also be able to attend the law school in Guyana as a regional initiative. “We cannot pursue an agenda that is regarded, or can be construed; or, in fact, will be insular”, he said, also adding: “We will work with the process as far as possible. If we see that the process does not serve our

interest, then we will have to be forced to take insular positions; and I’m hoping that we don’t have to resort to those mechanisms.” The AG’s sentiments were shared by Attorney-at-Law, Mr. Teni Housty, who raised the question whether Guyanese students would want to be limited to practising Law in Guyana. He noted that the question becomes fundamentally important since the support of the CLE would be integral. Establishing a law school in Guyana which was not undertaken as a regional initiative through the Council for Legal Education would result in Guyana operating a programme which would not be regionally accredited, and would only serve the interest of the Guyanese population. Head of the Law Department, Mr. Sheldon McDonald, questioned whether the law schools market ought to be liberalised in the Caribbean Community. The HoD was adamant that the CLE should form an accreditation body which would provide acknowledgment to institutions in the Region based on set criteria for establishing such law schools, including sufficient funds and quality research facilities.

New Brazilian Ambassador accredited - promises to foster development projects with Guyana

NEW Brazilian Ambassador to Guyana, Mr. Lineu Pupo de Paula, Wednesday presented his Letters of Credence to President Donald Ramotar, and pledged to focus on strengthening relations and to fostering ongoing projects between the two South American nations. The President welcomed the incoming Ambassador, stating, “Let me also convey, through you to her Excellency President Dilma Rousseff, my sincere appreciation for her kind greeting, together with my best wishes for a very successful 2014 World Cup Tournament, I do hope that the cup stays in the Region.” President Ramotar pointed out that since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1968, the relationship between Guyana and Brazil has been especially friendly and productive. “Our bilateral cooperation programme is wide-ranging and focuses on priority areas of our na-

tional development agenda. The common positions we consistently share on several issues on both regional and international agenda also provide a solid foundation for us to maintain a long and lasting relationship.” Within recent times, Guyana has given impetus to these relations through various initiatives, especially in the area of infrastructure development. The President added that it is his hope these relations will lead, not only to increased prosperity between the two countries and people, but also will take them one step closer to the shared vision of an integrated South America. “The Takutu Bridge is an excellent example of the many benefits which could be derived from improved physical links between neighbouring countries; we have seen the increase in people to people contact and enhanced commercial and other exchanges between our two countries.”

President Ramotar also stated that the paving of the road link between Guyana and Brazil will allow the two countries to fully realise their trade potential. “I am pleased to note that the people to people contacts and cooperation have led to an increasing mutual understanding and appreciation of our respective cultures, Brazilian cuisine, which I am fond of, and music are now popular features in our country’s social life.” The President said this, in his view, is a true representation of regional integration, a vision which the Government embraces. “It is my hope that during your tour of duty that together we can continue to seek new opportunities to build on the friendly and cooperative relations which happily exist between our two countries.” Meanwhile in presenting his credentials, the new Brazilian Ambassador noted that since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Guyana and Brazil, bilateral

President Donald Ramotar and newly appointed Brazilian Ambassador to Guyana, Mr. Lineu Pupo de Paula share a toast following the handing over of Letters of Credence relations have developed through mutual understanding and trust, including cooperation in the technical and military areas. “Many Brazilians have come to Guyana in the last years, as well as many Guyanese have gone to live in Brazil, especially close to the border.” The Ambassador added that Guyana and Brazil have set on, an approximation process whose symbolic milestone was the inauguration of the bridge over the Takutu River. “Furthermore, the creation of the Guyana-Brazil Joint Commission for in-

frastructure development in 2012, with projects in development in both countries, I will devote myself to further foster these projects.” The Brazilian Ambassador added that together Guyana and Brazil can achieve more in the fields of culture and education. He added that the recent project by the Guyana Government to introduce the Portuguese language in secondary schools is a source of satisfaction for the Brazilian Government, as well as an important step in the integration of the Region. “The Brazil-Guyana Cultural Centre will also

continue to offer Portuguese classes and to cater for the growing interest of young Guyanese in our language and our culture.” The Ambassador added that he is convinced that the two countries will be able to strengthen cooperation, so as to meet the aspiration of their peoples for a prosperous and developed Region. “I hope that during my term as Ambassador we will see more evidence of the growing links between our two countries.” The new Ambassador takes over from Seixas de Andrade who began his tour of duty in September 2009.

Cosmetologist to be tried on July 18 for shoplifting By Geeta Rampersaud SHARONA Latchman (no address given), a cosmetologist, appeared Wednesday before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry to answer an allegation that on June 3, at the DSL outlet on Sheriff Street, Campbellville, Georgetown, she stole one bottle of Ciroc and one bottle of Absolute Vodka, together valued at $20,184. Police Corporal Bharat Mangru, prosecuting, told the court that the defendant went into DSL to purchase something when she picked up the items, placed them in an envelope, and then into her bag, before walking out of the store without paying for the items. Latchman acknowledged the offence, and made full restitution for the items to a representative of DSL who was present in court. Standing calmly in court with her minor daughter by her side, and speaking very quietly, the unrepresented woman responded to the magistrate that the items were at her home, but did not respond when asked if she used the stolen items for personal consumption. The mother of one was placed on her own recognisance and was told to cooperate with the probation officer and report to court on July 18.

Open Air Museum at Monument Gardens highlights story of East Indian culture By Asif Hakim GUYANA has a rich history, much of which is influenced by the six peoples who came to this land for similar reasons, and with them they brought a fusion of culture, tradition and beliefs which have had a great influence on what defines Guyana today. The Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport has been exhibiting the way of life of Guyana’s six peoples through the museums. However the Ministry is not alone in this regard, as the Indian Commemoration Trust and the Indian Monument Fund have piped funds into the establishment of the Monument Gardens which has on display elements of Indian culture. A new addition has been made to the site with the installation of the first display in their open air museum. The first exhibit gives recognition to the East Indians who arrived in Guyana between 1838 and 1917. It has been recorded that 500 ships with 238,909 indentured Indian immigrants came to Guyana with the Whitby and Hesperus bringing the first batch. The newly-appointed Indian High Commissioner to Guyana, Mr. Venkatachalam Mahalingam, along with Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Dr. Frank Anthony and Dr. Yesu Persaud from the Indian Monument Fund recently unveiled the first piece of the Open Air Museum at the Indian Monument Gardens. This event was the first public appearance by High Commissioner Mahalingam after arriving in Guyana a few weeks ago. Minister Anthony acknowledged the tremendous contributions made by the East Indians to the development of Guyana. He stressed that the upcoming generations need to be aware of their culture and aims to get more people involved. “The bond between Guyana and India is strong but it can get stronger,” Dr. Anthony stressed. He disclosed that this is the first museum of its kind to be erected in Guyana. Anthony suggested that a walkway be placed in the Gardens depicting the chronological order of the arrival of the East Indians in Guyana. He also applauded the High Commission for a job well done in the teaching of music and dancing, but another important area is language. Anthony noted that many East Indians in Guyana look at Indian movies but they may not be

fully cognizant of the language. In this regard, it will good for Hindi to be thought. H.E. Mahalingam noted that the relationship between the two nations has grown since formal ties were established. He recalled that since his arrival in Guyana a call was made for more efforts to enhance cooperation in several areas - one such being trade. He reiterated that there will be improvements in the trade relationship between Guyana and India for their mutual benefit. He pointed out that despite the geographical gap be-

tween Guyana and India, both nations have commonalities regarding their colonial past and predominantly agricultural, rural-based, multi-cultural societies and hold common views on important issues. Dr. Yesu Persaud in welcoming the High Commissioner spoke of the close relationship between Guyana and India, and also encouraged the High Commissioner to strengthen the trade relationship between Guyana and India. The purpose of the Open Air Museum is to enlighten the public on East Indian roots and culture; how they came here; their way of life and how it all started.

Relatives baulk at $500,000 compensation offered by errant driver - in Patentia pedestrian fatality By Michel Outridge PEDESTRIAN Jude Joseph, 28, of Public Road Patentia, West Bank Demerara, who was killed in an accident on Sunday morning, was laid to rest yesterday. A post-mortem revealed yesterday that Joseph died as a result of multiple injuries he received following the accident. The accident took place on the Patentia Public Road in the vicinity of Patentia Primary School at about 09:30 hrs. Joseph who was walking was going to purchase bread and eggs for his family’s breakfast when a speeding Toyota Spacio struck him down from the rear, and hurled him into the air.

When he landed on the roadway he was bleeding profusely from the ears, mouth and nose. Relatives yesterday told this publication that the driver of the fatal accident vehicle has offered $500,000 as compensation but they consider this sum insufficient to cater for his two children until they attain the age of 18 years, so no settlement has been reached so far. They, however, opted to let the police handle the matter which is still under investigation, according to the police yesterday. The driver has since secured $100,000 bail. The man’s wife, Natasha Vandeyar told this publication that she was at home when her husband left walking to make

a purchase of eggs and bread for their breakfast and within a few minutes she heard a loud impact and looked through the window and saw a man being hurled through the air. At that time she said she did not know it was her husband but subsequently she saw his bloodied and lifeless body lying on the roadway. The grieving woman added that from eyewitnesses’ report she learnt that Joseph, a miner and father of two, was walking at the side of the road when a speeding and out of control blue Toyota Spacio struck him from the rear. He was rushed to the West Demerara Regional Hospital (WDRH) where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

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

Gouveia flew Smith in GDF plane one day after Rodney’s killing CAPTAIN Gerald Gouveia told Attorney for the People’s National Congress (PNC), James Bond, yesterday: “Guyana must never go back to those days. I don’t think even you want to go back to that. Today, Guyana is free.” During Bond’s cross-examination of Gouveia at the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry, Gouveia told the young Attorney, in a deeply passionate tone, that the period in Guyana under the PNC dictatorship Government lacked “freedom of expression, free elections” and freedom of the Private Sector. Dressed in his pilot’s uniform, Gouveia appeared at the Commission as a high-profile witness testifying in the Commission’s probe into the death of Dr. Walter Rodney, who was killed on June 13, 1980, when a bomb exploded in his lap while he sat in his car outside the Camp Street jail. The Presidential Commission wants to find out why Dr. Rodney was assassinated, including what socio-economic and political atmosphere existed in Guyana at the time to cause the world-respected political leader, gifted historian and brilliant scholar to die in the manner he did. Under oath before the Commission, Gouveia confirmed allegations that he piloted a plane belonging to the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) from the airport at Timehri to the hinterland community of Kwakwani, on the morning of June 14, 1980, with Dr. Rodney’s suspected killer, GDF Army Sergeant Gregory Smith, on board. 12 HOURS AFTER Gouveia piloted the plane to transport Smith 12 hours after the bomb blast rocked Georgetown and killed the populist political leader who was caught up in a brutal

political struggle against the draconian, corrupt and dictatorial PNC Government. Testimony at the Commission is revealing how Dr. Rodney and the Working People’s Alliance (WPA) were locked in an armed insurgency and popular revolt against the authoritarian PNC Government. Gouveia said that around 9:00am on June 14, 1980, he piloted the GDF Army plane that transported a man he later thought was Smith, along with a woman and “a couple of small children” from Timehri Airport to Kwakwani, a 49-minute flight. This was just 12 hours after Dr. Rodney died, the bomb having exploded in Georgetown shortly after 8:00pm the night before. Testimony before the Commission is unraveling a devious plot, where the PNC Government snared State institutions such as the GDF, the Guyana Police Force and other organs to nullify the political threat of Dr. Rodney and the WPA. The harsh PNC Government response also collared the sinister religious cult, the House of Israel with its fugitive leader, to harass and beat WPA leaders and activists. On the morning of the notorious GDF flight, with Gouveia in command as pilot, the young commissioned officer turned up for work at the Army hangar and received his orders of where he was flying that day. He had three flights, and the first was to take the mystery man, the woman and the children, all of whom were waiting in the hangar, to Kwakwani. Gouveia described the assignment as a routine military operation. He got no information about his passengers, and was not interested in them, he said. He also had no conversation with them, nor did he see anything in his passengers’ demeanour to “cause an anomaly.” Later that night, on June

14, 1980, he heard on the radio that Dr. Rodney was killed. He said he knew “nothing” of Dr. Rodney, and therefore took little interest in this news. However, a few days later, he saw a newspaper report of Dr. Rodney’s death, with an accompanying picture of a suspect implicated in the brutal assassination. He said the picture matched the features of the man he had transported from Timehri to Kwakwani. This time, Gouveia said, he felt an “anomaly”, which, however, did not move his conscience, or curiosity or interest to find out who the man was, and why he had flown him that day.

MILITARY PROTOCOL Instead, he said, he stuck to military “protocol” and did not question his superior officers in the GDF. He just ignored the whole thing and moved on with his life and career, hardly ever discussing the incident with anyone, he said. Now, 34 years later, he said he feels “obligated” to “tell the truth” at the Commission. Gouveia kept emphasising to the Attorneys and the Commission members that he looks at Guyana within “contexts”. “Back then,” he said, “there was one context; and now, there’s another context. So when I think of this, I have to put it in context.” The popular, highly-successful tourism, airline and hospitality entrepreneur said he feels that in “today’s context”, he should reveal his role in the historical, momentous and significant event that is Dr. Rodney’s death. But, in 1980, when he was a young commissioned Army officer, he was in a different “context”, and simply obeyed military “protocol” of unquestioningly carrying out the orders of his superiors. Responding to persistent

questions from Commission Chairman, Sir Richard Cheltenham about whether he felt any moral qualm, sense of conscientious obligation or personal curiosity to find out details of the momentous happenings around June 13 and 14, 1980, Gouveia said he felt nothing, and did nothing. Sir Cheltenham, a Barbadian legal luminary, wanted to know what impact did Dr. Rodney’s death have on Gouveia,, given that it rocked the country, and was a major event in the Caribbean. But Gouveia said he did not even know who Dr. Rodney was, and only learnt of his international stature after his death. Commission member, Jamaican Jacqueline Samuels-Brown, interjected during

Sir Cheltenham’s questioning of Gouveia to ascertain whether the media in Guyana reported the Rodney assassination with a bad bias. The authoritarian PNC Government had banned all independent media by 1980, and only the PNC-controlled State newspaper was in operation, reporting false news on Rodney’s death. The underground newsletter, the Catholic Standard, which had seen its own photographer, Father Darke, being stabbed to death in Georgetown in 1979, carried unbiased reports, but its circulation was small. The Caribbean News Agency (CANA) also carried independent reports of the assassination, and Gouveia said that though he got information on the Rodney

killing from CANA reports, he felt inclined to stick with the local reports. GOUVEIA’S ANOMALY Gouveia said he learned from reading the local newspaper in 1980, and from other local news sources, that Dr. Rodney may have blown himself up as he tried to operate a bomb. He later told the Commission he has always thought that the report of Dr. Rodney’s brother, Donald Rodney, saying they were testing an electronic communication device when it exploded, caused in him an “anomaly”. He said the bomb that killed Dr. Rodney had “a red light”, and this sounded

From page 10 more like a remote electronic device than a “walkie-talkie”. Under intense questions from various Attorneys, Gouveia said that in “today’s context” he feels the WPA’s cause against the PNC’s repressive regime was “just”, but the “methodology” lacked smartness. The decorated military pilot and accomplished entrepreneur said power comes in “three forms: Soft power, hard power, and smart power,” and that, maybe, the WPA lacked smart power, and thus suffered for it. Gouveia recalled an incident where the dictatorial PNC Government sent in members of the Presidential Guard to take the guns of GDF soldiers who were in a public parade, empty all the ammunition into “brown paper bags”, and caused the soldiers to parade on the streets with empty guns. He said this constituted a grave insult to the military, and suggested that the incident shows how draconian and

paranoid and high-handed the PNC Government acted, not trusting its own military. Gouveia’s Attorney had requested that his client wrap up testimony early, because he had to go off to the Cheddi Jagan International Airport to welcome the arrival from New York of the inaugural flight of his new airline venture, Dynamic Airlines. The Commission granted him his request, and he resumes his testimony this morning at 09:30hrs. Testimony at the Commission grips the nation today, with dramatic revelations of political intrigue, sinister plots, exercise of dictatorial powers, assassinations and murders, paranoia and brutal denial of freedom of the press, rigged national elections and grotesque political leadership. The Commission has heard it all, and yet the dramatic heat rises with each new witness. WPA BURGLARY Meanwhile, news yesterday that mystery persons

broke into the Georgetown offices of the WPA last Wednesday night and stole computers and printers shocked the city. The WPA has taken centrestage at the Commission, with several of its leaders attending hearings daily. Sources say detectives could not lift fingerprints at the robbery scene, as the thieves may have worn gloves, indicating that “professionals” operated in the crime. Gouveia yesterday said the WPA’s struggle that led to the death of Dr. Rodney, was a “just” cause, and noted that he feels it’s his obligation to fully cooperate with the Commission, especially given his pivotal role in the historical, momentous events under probe. PNC Attorney, Bond, filled in yesterday for Basil Williams, who has hitherto appeared for the troubled political party. In cross-examining Gouveia, Bond exhibited a softer tone than the hostile tone Williams employs in cross examining witnesses. Bond’s

cross examination of Gouveia allowed the pilot to state his preference for the “context” of today’s Guyana, rather than those dark days of the draconian PNC regime.

“Today, Guyana is free, and should never go back to how it was then,” he told Bond, who is a Member of Parliament on the Opposition bench, in a direct address.

Gouveia resumes his dramatic testimony this morning, with widespread interest from citizens across the country, and throughout the Diaspora.

WPA suffers untold losses after break-in at head office

By Asif Hakim

A BREAK-IN at the head office of the Working People’s Alliance (WPA) on New Garden Street, Queenstown, Wednesday night has left the party suffering untold losses after intruders gained entry by breaking a window at the front door and an inside bar. Speaking with this publication, WPA Administrative

Assistant Alleyne Allen said that yesterday morning when she was on her way to work, Member of Parliament Desmond Trotman, who is the WPA Manager, called to inform her about the incident. She said he told her that someone had broken into the office, which is located in a rental building. Allen said that she then rushed to work to see what was happening. When she and Trotman, among other

staffers, began checking the office to determine losses they discovered that among the missing articles were computers, monitors, printers, speakers, back-up batteries, a cheque book and a public address system. They then contacted the Alberttown Police Station and shortly afterwards ranks from the Brickdam Police Station arrived. They

checked for fingerprints but their efforts were of no avail. The ranks then patrolled the entire Alberttown/Queenstown community looking for any clues but saw nothing of consequence. When this publication contacted the Chairman of the WPA, who is also the vice-chairman of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Dr. Rupert Roop-

narine, he said that he was nowhere there (where burglary occurred) and did not really know anything about the incident. He said all he heard w a s t h a t t h e re w a s a break-in at the office but he was tied up at the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry when the news came. However, he visited the office late yesterday afternoon.

Police start weekly luncheon at Agricola School from today By Leroy Smith THE Guyana Police Force, through the Police A Division, is looking to continue activities in the Agricola community at different levels ahead of its decision to implement the Impact Agricola Project. Beginning today, A Division Commander Clifton Hicken and other senior officers of the Division will be having lunch each Friday with the teachers and students of the St. Anne’s Primary School in Agricola. The presence of the police in Agricola, and especially at the St Anne’s Primary School, is nothing new, since former A Division Commander George Vyphuis did extensive work with the school and the community while serving in the Force.

On Fridays, if the commander himself cannot make it to have lunch with the students, a senior police officer will be present to share in the moment with teachers and students. The St Anne’s Primary School has a population of just over 100, mostly from the Agricola community. Earlier this week, Commander Hicken and a high level team from the A Division visited the school where the students were cautioned about following undesirable role models and the need for them to grow up to be healthy and law abiding citizens. They were also encouraged to report any unlawful activity to their teachers or parents. The visit earlier this week was also filled with games and laughter among

the teachers, students and the police. Meanwhile, come tomorrow, the police will again meet with the students, this time in the company of their parents; and beginning next Saturday, the students will be exposed to ongoing skills training. There is also a separate meeting planned for young persons in the community who are keen on sports, and the day’s activity will also see the police, in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Works, executing works on the community centre ground. There is also a plan to have a scouts group formed in the community. That initiative was already endorsed by the school which vowed to have the parents buy into the initiative and become involved.

Rodrigues-Birkett, Hardt lock horns over status quo in Cuba By Vanessa Narine UNITED States of America Ambassador Brent Hardt contends that Guyana is a sovereign country, free to have relations with any country, but in the case of Cuba, as a “friend and neighbour”, Guyana

Ambassador Brent Hardt

should try to encourage the institution of greater democratic processes. “I wish Guyana and other countries would reflect their own values and the aspirations of their people in their discussions with Cuba to try to encourage them to open up a bit and give the people the freedoms that the people in this Region enjoy, demand and expect,” he said in an interview with the Guyana Chronicle on Wednesday. However, Foreign Affairs Minister Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett rejected the Ambassador’s comments. In an invited comment, she said, “This matter has come up before, and I indicated then that no one should instruct Guyana on what it should tell anyone, because Guyana will not be presumptuous to instruct anyone on what to do. “I am aware that there are several developed countries in the world that deal with other countries, which do not practise the democracy that is practised in Guyana or in the U.S. for that matter.” MISSED OPPORTUNITY The US Ambassador contends that Guyana and the wider Caribbean have “strong democratic traditions” that can be injected into the Cuban context. Hardt said, “We (the U.S.) actually have more engagements with Cuba than people realise…the point that I have often tried to make is that Guyana, and the Caribbean as a whole, misses an opportu-

Caribbean countries.” According to him, Guyana and other countries seem content to disregard the issue of democracy in Cuba. He said, “Yet, in the case of Cuba, the Government seems happy to say that these issues are not things we want to talk about. This is a missed opportunity because I think the Caribbean example is a powerful one. “I think coming from a friend and a neighbour like Guyana, Cuba would be much more receptive than having it come from us.” The US Ambassador also referenced recent comments by President Donald Ramotar on Guyana’s position on the lack of a multi-party democracy within Cuba’s political system. POPULAR REVOLUTION The Head of State dismissed the notion that Guyana has concerns with the status quo in Cuba.“You’ve got to remember also that Cuba had a popular revolution. It wasn’t a one-man show. It wasn’t a few people. It was a mass uprising that changed the Government in Cuba,” he said. In 1956, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara landed in Cuba with a small band of insurgents, known as the '26th of July Movement', and began a guerrilla war against the Government. In December 1958, Castro launched a full-scale attack and the then President, the Amer-

ican-friendly Fulgencio Batista, was forced to flee. In February 1959, Castro was sworn in as prime minister of Cuba. Mr. Ramotar added that as Head of State, he will not comment further on what is clearly an internal affair of Cuba. Guyana and Cuba have enjoyed close collabora-

tion in health, education, culture and sports since the establishment of diplomatic ties in December 1972. In 1974, the first Friendship society between Cuba and Guyana was constituted; ten years later, in 1984, the Committee of Friendship and Solidarity Cuba- Guyana came into being, and in October

2006, the Association of Friendship Guyana- Cuba was created but it was not officially registered. Last month the Guyana-Cuba Friendship Association was officially launched. The U.S., since the revolution, has expressed concerns time and time again over the political situation in the Caribbean island and

maintains its half-century-old economic embargo on the nation. Guyana’s position on the United States’ decades-old economic and financial embargo on Cuban remains unchanged, as has that of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).They all feel it should be lifted.

Access road to Sophia finally completed …

GUYANA CHRONICLE Friday June 27, 2014 The completed Sophia road

UG road awaits aggregate for final works

By Shivanie Sugrim THE Ministry of Public Works, Force Account Department officially concluded its refurbishments to the road leading to Sophia last week, which was a part of the UG access road overhaul project. The Works Ministry found it necessary to give the road a facelift, given that it was in a deplorable state with enormous potholes that caused damage to vehicles. The road is now fully

refurbished and allows a faster entry and exit to the surrounding communities. Lawrence Mentis, Works Ministry Road Engineer who supervised the project, had told this publication that prior to the renovation, the road needed more than just “minor” refurbishments since it was necessary to do levelling work because the potholes had caused the surface to become uneven. Furthermore, the sidewalks and drains had to be cleaned since they were add-

ing to the downfall of the road. Meanwhile, in regard to the access road that leads to the University of Guyana and the Cyril Potter College of Education (CPCE), the levelling work has been done and the final course is to be completed as soon as the aggregate (stone materials used in building roads) becomes available. Mentis stated that orders have been placed for the material (aggregate) which is expected shortly.

The Minister was at the time responding to questions from this newspaper about word that several items are to be prohibited from passing through the airport. Benn indicated that there has been no clear directive or deliberations to prohibit any item from passing through the airport except for those which already exist.

When excessive force is used I will recommend criminal charges - Justice Kennard

By Leroy Smith CHAIRMAN of the Police Complaints Authority, Justice Cecil Kennard has said that he will continue to recommend criminal charges for members of the Guyana Police Force who use excessive force based on evidence to support such claims. In an interview, Justice Kennard referred to the three most recent cases where the police were accused of abuse of power and the use of excessive force. Justice Cecil Kennard Justice Kennard pointed to the cases of Colwyn Harding, Alex Griffith and Junior Torrington, all of which he said had evidence to show that excessive force was applied. The retired judge told this newspaper that he recently wrapped up two outreaches in Essequibo and Berbice, and at both events the issue of excessive force was addressed. He said that he told officers that whenever they use excessive force and it is widely carried by the media, the entire population will condemn their actions. According to him, excessive force does nothing good to the image of the Guyana Police Force, and he warned that despite how difficult a prisoner may appear or how violent he or she gets, minimum force must always be applied. Meanwhile, with respect to the case involving the torture of Junior Torrington, the young man who was burnt on his hands by a rank at the Sparendaam Police Station, Justice Kennard told the Chronicle that he made recommendations that several ranks be disciplined, while one be charged with perverting the course of justice and another with assault causing grievous bodily harm. Kennard said that there were 34 statements which were submitted in the file, most of which by police officers who were either present when the incident occurred or who had to handle the prisoner before and after the incident. There were also civilians who submitted statements in the matter. He wrapped up by saying that the medical report which he saw pertaining to the file revealed that the young man was burnt to both of his hands and that amounted to grievous bodily harm.

any other form must declare same to the airport officials and security. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are travelling and you have fish or fish products you must declare that you have it,â&#x20AC;? Benn said. Asked about the reason for this move, the minister said that over the years, the airport security and officials have noticed that fish is being used as the conductor for the concealing of illegal substances. He said that once the fish is declared, then it triggers a search in keeping with the new security measure soon to be adopted by the CJIA. All fish must be examined the minister

said. Over the last few years, there have been many innovative ways by persons to ship cocaine outside of Guyana, via the Cheddi Jagan International Airport. Last year the CJIA commissioned a new scanner which has proven to be very effective in detecting illegal substances concealed on persons. Earlier in the same year, the GRA commissioned another scanner which also has been proving so effective that traditional ways of exporting cocaine through the airport, which were undetectable, are being uncovered .

GPL had no authority to seize meter, disconnect electricity - from Lusignan building By George Barclay ACTING Chief Justice, Mr.Ian Chang, S.C., on Tuesday made absolute a nisi order which had ordered Guyana Power and Light Company to show cause why its decision, to seize a meter and disconnect electricity from a Lusignan business premises, should not be quashed. The Chief Justice was delivering a decision relating to the applicant Lin Chuntao who had applied to the court for writs of certiorari and mandamus. And the Chief Justice had issued a rule nisi directed to the respondent compelling them to return forthwith the meter and to reconnect electricity to the building situated at 173 Lusignan, East Coast Demerara on the grounds that the said decision was unlawful, unreasonable, without or

in excess of jurisdiction and of no legal effect. In her affidavit in support of motion the applicant deposed that on the 8th day of May 2012, she rented the property situated at 173 Lusignan. She was a residential consumer of electricity provided under contract by the GPL, a statutory body corporate charged statutorily with the supply of electricity to the residents of Guyana, including the applicant. She later applied to the power company for a pre-paid meter. On or about the 27th September, 2013, employees of GPL came to her premises and installed meter No. 0395332 until such time as a pre-paid meter would become available. On the 27th December 2013, employees of GPL removed the meter leaving her premises without electricity. When

her husband enquired of GPL why the company had removed the meter, he was told that the applicant was indebted to GPL in excess of $3 million. However, she deposed that GPL had never written or informed her of any amount owing to it nor did she receive a bill from GPL showing that she was so indebted. GPL also told her that there was a suspicion that she was stealing electricity. She further deposed that the meter was installed by GPL on a post outside of her premises and she had no access to that meter. The Chief Justice said that in relation to the first limb of Section 14 (8) of the said Act, the court does not take the view that Section 14(8) imposed upon a consumer an absolute obligation of safe keeping of the public supplier’s me-

ter. Otherwise, every consumer would be rendered an insurer of the safety of GPL’s meter. As such, the mere interference with the meter by an unauthorised person does not ipso facto mean that the consumer is in breach of Section 14(8). Clause 4.3 of GPL’s licence (not exhibited by the respondent in the Affidavit in Answer but referred to by counsel for the respondent) is a stipulation which affects GPL and the grantor of the licence and cannot effectively enlarge the rights of GPL as against the consumer - although it operates as a restriction on the exercise of such rights, i.e. not to estimate the unrecorded consumption of a consumer beyond 24 months. As a clause stated in GPL’s licence which, does not have the force of law or even contract vis-à-vis the

consumer, clause 6.4 cannot be used to derogate from the rights of the consumer in favour of GPL. If anything, it can be restrictive of the exercise of GPL’s rights under ordinary law. Again, this court fails to see how the relationship between GPL and the grantor of its licence can lawfully affect the legal relationship between GPL and its consumers unless of course the stipulations of the licence are reflected in the contract between GPL and the consumer or form part of public law. GPL was in effect blandly saying to the court that the decision or act of GPL must be presumed to be lawful simply because there is a record kept by GPL which states that the applicant had failed to keep the meter safe from interference and had benefitted from an unreme-

tered supply of electricity caused by the connection of a by-pass conductor. Counsel for the respondent submitted that, in judicial review proceedings, the courts adopt a relaxed attitude to the reception of hearsay evidence because, in such proceeding, there are rarely substantial disputes of fact. The court finds that the respondent (GPL) has failed to satisfy that its decision or act of disconnection was lawful or rational. Accordingly, orders or Rules nisi of certiorari and mandamus made on the 10th January 2014 must be made absolute. The court so ordered and no order was made as to costs. Attorney-at-Law, Mr. Huckumchand appeared for the applicant, while Attorney, Mr. Timothy Jonas represented the respondent.

He added that the police are continuing to work with the community to make the residents comfortable and to engage the young people in a positive way. Meanwhile, following the handing over of the street signs to Deputy Superintendent DeHeart, Jai Signs proprietor Rampersaud pointed out that his company will continue to offer support for the project and the police. He said that any activity of the police which aims at the development of the Albouystown community and would improve the relationship between the police and the members of the public will be fully supported, such as the Impact Project. He commended the police for the work they have been doing in the community and expressed the hope that positive results will be achieved. The businessman also donated a huge sign to be erected at the multipurpose sports facility which the police and the community are now working to develop in the area under the Project Impact Albouystown umbrella. Since the commencement of the Impact Albouystown Project, the police with the help of the business community and several individuals and organisations have been channelling lots of resources into Albouystown. Very soon the police will commence works to upgrade a plot of land to be used as a multipurpose sports complex in the community.

MISS GUYANA UNIVERSE 2013 SPEAKS ABOUT CERVICAL CANCER AND WOMEN MISS Katherina Roshana, holder of the following accolades: Miss Guyana Universe 2013, Miss Guyana Universe 2013 Best Smile, Lady of Substance Media Award 2013, Miss India Guyana 2013, Miss India Worldwide Most Beautiful Skin, and International Ambassador of Peace (United Peace Federation), has been in the forefront of the awareness being created to the suffering of autistic children and their families. Through her efforts, many persons now are aware that people suffering from autism are not mad or possessed with evil spirits; and little by little, attitudes towards this disease have been changing. Inspired by the successes in championing autism, Miss Roshana has turned her zeal to making every woman of every age aware of the need to take preventative measures against contracting Cervical Cancer. She feels that, through education, we could significantly reduce the instances of this disease. She claims her studies done on this disease have revealed that it is caused by a malignant neoplasm arising from cells originating in the cervix, and she wants women to know that one of the most common symptoms of cervical cancer is abnormal vaginal bleeding, while in some cases there may be no obvious symptoms until the cancer has progressed to an advanced stage. Miss Roshana feels that education is the key to combating cervical cancer, and accordingly asks that information on its cause be made available. Cervical cancer is caused by the Human papilloma Virus (HPV), the infection of which appears to be involved in development of more than 90% of cases. HPV vaccines are effective against two to four of the high-risk strains of this family of viruses; but since the vaccines cover only some types of HPV, guidelines still recommend that women have regular pap smear screening, even after vaccination. Most cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, arising in the squamous (flattened) epithelial cells that line the cervix. Adenocarcinoma, arising in glandular epithelial cells, is the second most common type of this cancer. Very rarely, cancer can arise in

Katherina Roshana, Miss Guyana Universe 2013, Lady of Substance Media Awardee 2013, Miss India Guyana 2013, and International Ambassador of Peace (United Peace Federation), has been in the forefront of bringing awareness to the suffering of autistic children and their families. other types of cells. Ms Roshana says cancer screening using the pap smear can identify precancerous changes in cervical cells. Treatment of highgrade changes can prevent the development of cancer in many cases. In developed countries, the widespread use of cervical screening programmes has dramatically reduced the incidence of invasive cervical cancer. Treatment usually consists of surgery (including local excision) in early stages, and chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy in more advanced stages of the disease. Worldwide, cervical cancer is the second most common and the fifth deadliest cancer in women. Worldwide, in 2008, it was estimated that there were 473,000 cases of cervical cancer, and in 2010, there were 225,000 deaths. Approximately 80% of cervical cancers occur in developing countries like Guyana. The early stages of cervical cancer may be completely asymptomatic. Vaginal bleeding, contact bleeding, or (rarely) a vaginal mass may indicate the presence of malignancy. Also, moderate pain during sexual intercourse and vaginal discharge are symptoms of cervical cancer. In its advanced stage, metastases may be present in the abdomen, lungs or elsewhere. Symptoms of advanced cervical cancer may include:

loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue, pelvic pain, back pain, leg pain, swollen legs, heavy bleeding from the vagina, and bone fractures. Women who have many sexual partners (or who have sex with men who have had many other partners) have a greater risk of contracting cervical cancer. Guyana is in the forefront of the fight against this dreaded form of cancer, and is recognized throughout the region as a leader in its research. Experts from as far as Dominica, Grenada and Belize come to Guyana to be trained in the detection and control of cervical cancer. This is done in conjunction with the Ministry of Health and the Guyana Public Hospital Corporation. Ms Roshana says, “I would like to encourage women, especially those who are already sexually active, to speak with your doctor to find out how often you should submit to a pap smear; and if you have not already had one, then you should do so as soon as possible”. Cervical cancer can be eliminated if caught in the early stages. Just recently, The Guyana Responsible Parenthood Association (GRPA), in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, launched what was referred to as a “low-tech innovative approach” to the detection of cervical cancer: The Visual Inspection with Acetic

Acid (VIA) campaign for the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer. According to Dr. John Varallo of the Johns Hopkins University in Maryland, USA, who is responsible for training both the local and regional participants in the VIA programme, “Guyana is truly a leader in the area of cervical cancer prevention in light of the fact that Guyana has one of the highest rates of death by cervical cancer in the world”. “The VIA approach links screening with testing, and is said to be accurate. Cervical Cancer is a reality, and it is time to set to rest the inhibitions and fears that sometimes cause women to procrastinate when it comes to their health. Hesitancy and reticence could prove deadly,” Ms Roshana warns.

THE dancehall hit single ‘Watch de girls dem pon de bike back’ was one of my favourites in years gone by. But as I was strolling around the city, that song immediately came to mind the moment I saw the delectable Syretta Persaud perched like a real Caribbean Queen on a bike that did wonders for her already dashing good looks. She was perched there so confidently, her sultry curves creating havoc amongst the

male species, who practically drooled as they passed by. While they say that women are addicted to diamonds and pearls, Syretta brought new meaning to the term, ‘Hot gyal pon ah flashy bike’. This is her week to shine, and you can do the same by just remembering to ‘dress to kill’ whenever you venture out, because the Bombshell cameras might be just around the corner.

Hats off to Delroy Walcott!!

Soyini Fraser crowned Miss Jamzone Guyana Delroy Walcott for Mr. Guyana 2014 Talented Teen 2014…

Miss Jamzone Guyana 2014, the beautiful Soyini Fraser

THE wait is over, and Guyanese have found their Jamzone queen in 24-year-old Soyini Fraser, who will represent her beloved country at the Miss Jamzone International Pageant in August; and Hits and Jams Entertainment could not be more pleased with this choice of representative. Enthusiastic, daring, determined, ingenious and radiant are a few words which tell who this young lady is. Over the years, Soyini has evolved from being just a simple and promising Guyanese girl into a ravishingly beautiful beauty queen and model, and an aspiring Christian Child-Psychologist besides being a dancer, TV Hostess, role model and true-to-thebone Guyanese! In the area of pageantry, Miss Fraser was the first young lady to be crowned Miss Earth Guyana in 2010, and the first Guyanese woman to represent her country at Miss Earth. The following year, she was in the line-up for Miss World

Guyana, gaining the first runner-up spot and the title ‘Miss Princess of the World 2011’. In the Czech Republic, Soyini won Miss Best National Costume Princess of the World with “Guyana’s Dream”, created by Olympia Small-Sonaram; and she did not stop there. Guyana Model Search 2012 was next, in which she placed first runner-up then headed to Miami for Miss United Nations International and won! She is the first Guyanese to win this title! Soyini says the individual she is today can be attributed to a sound Christian and educational background, with the morals her parents imbued in her as a child to use later on in life as vehicles to success. Miss Jamzone Guyana 2014 lives by this Albert Einstein saying as her credo: “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited; imagination encircles the world”.

Westside Car and Bike Show slated for July 12 package of over $250,000. This venture will see SUVs, cars, vans, bikes and minibuses facing off in a ‘boombastic sound clash’ to determine which vehicles are fitted with the hardest, loudest, and cleanest sounds. This event will also feature a merry-goround, bouncy castle, trampoline, and more for the family. Hot, spicy bar-b-que will also be on sale. Amongst the many attractions are guest appearances by the 2013 Miss Bootilicious Lingerie Divas. Music will be supplied by Stereo Sonics and TRS Sounds, alongside Entertainer Ras. Admission is easy…. IT has now been officially confirmed to Bombshell that the 2014 ‘Westside Champion of Champions Vehicle Sound Off’ is set for July 12, 2014 at the Goed Fortuin Community Centre Ground, West Bank Demerara. According to ‘Promoter Benjie’ of Benjamin’s Entertainment, close to twenty-five participants have so far signed up for the competition, which will see steamy clashes between contenders vying for top honours in the twelve- and eighteen-inch speaker categories. The top finalists will be awarded lucrative prizes from a whopping

Support Delroy Walcott for Mr. Guyana Talented Teen 2014. COME July 6, 2014, several talented males and females would be vying for the Mr. and Ms. Guyana Talented Teen title at the National Cultural Centre. Amongst the lot is the very impressive and creative Delroy Adrian Walcott, who is already creating quite a stir at pageant rehearsals. At 19 years old, he is aspiring to be a General Surgeon, with interests in nature exploring and interacting with others. This very promising delegate possesses qualities that render him quite capable of representing the teen forum as an ambassador; and moreover, contributing positively to society. In his spare time, Delroy loves to listen to soca music; and he enjoys a great game of cricket! He’s a student at the St. Roses High School, and recently concluded his Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) studies. Delroy believes that success does not guarantee happiness; but rather, happiness guarantees success. And he advocates that the grounds for prosperity are met through sacrifices and gritty determination. He grew up in the community of Lodge, Georgetown, and has indicated that every experience in life should be taken as a lesson learnt, since those very experiences equip us well to deal with life’s situations.

GUYANA CHRONICLE Friday June 27, 2014

Bombshell’s Artiste of the Week

Let’s tell it like it is…

Lisa Punch is taking Guyana to the next level in musical accomplishments GUYANESE-born Lisa Punch certainly did wonders for Guyana recently when she blazed a trail and made it through to the next round of the US network ABC’s Rising Star musical competition. Singing at second place amongst the lucky thirty shortlisted, Lisa won the hearts of all three judges, and the critical seven points (from each judge) that saw her netting a whopping eighty points, ten above the seventy points needed to ‘break the wall’ and move forward to the next leg. This included many valuable points also pitched in by her many supporters. And, of course, since the deceased song icon Whitney Houston has always been Lisa’s inspiration, she performed one of Whitney’s popular hits, ‘How will I Know’. From the moment she hit the stage she was all fired up, and sang with deep emotion. She rose from coy to sexy, to provocative, before exploding like fireworks, hitting alarmingly high notes and pitches normally associated with professionals. Lisa migrated to the USA less than a year ago with every intention of taking her singing career to the next level; and this big break must have been mindboggling for her. The Brooklyn, New York-based singer ended her performance on a resounding note that earned her a standing ovation from the judges and the audience. Before bursting into song, Lisa spoke of her Guyanese background and her aspirations for social and economic mobility in the US. In June 2014, six months after moving to the United States with her family, Lisa became a contestant on ABC’s new singing show, Rising Star, making it to the top 30 out of 40,000 auditions. ABC has reinvented the traditional singing competition, as — for the first time ever — the audience has the final say in real time. During the performances, viewers vote via an App to determine if the singer will advance in the competition. If the voting reaches a certain threshold, the performer moves on. The Facebook Drama Right after Lisa’s performance, several ill-mannered Guyanese, who certainly have nothing constructive to do with their time, took to Facebook penning silly com-

ments about her because she mouthed on national television that Guyana is a poor country and that she migrated to the US for a better life. Now, come on people! Get real! She was being honest, and was decent enough to acknowledge her roots on national television. She did not omit the fact that she was Guyanese, as some of you ‘foreign minded personalities’ would have done. Stop ‘nailing her to the cross’ and, instead, join with the countless others who are celebrating Lisa’s success and the fact that she has placed Guyana on the map, musically. And come to think of it, folks: t h e crude comments placed on Facebook were made b y t h e worst of the Facebook lot, who are all known to be practically wasting valuable time posting nonsense on the website. I bet none of them possesses ‘a claim to fame’, so they are all just lashing out at the success of a well deserving song diva, who has in no way contributed to creating the misery that is their daily fare in life. Anyway, away with them and their childish, tacky tittering, and lets talk a little more about the dynamic song diva Lisa Punch, who happens to be someone of importance. Celebrating Lisa Punch Lisa Punch is a talented singer, songwriter, dancer and actress who was born on September 4, 1992 in Guyana; the daughter of John Errol Punch and Nafieza Aiana Daniels, Lisa is the eldest of five siblings. She spent the first few years of her life in Berbice,

before relocating to Georgetown. By age 11, she was performing across the country, and appearing on local TV shows such as Talent Exclusive. At her alma mater, North Georgetown Secondary School, Lisa excelled tremendously not only in academics, but in extra-curricular activities as well. She joined the school’s choir, where she was placed as the lead singer when just twelve years old. She also joined the school’s dance group, called CYDANCE, and her dance teacher, Beverley Cyrus, later introduced her to the school’s Emerald Drama Club. She also represented her school in dramatic poetry and excelled, bringi n g away the first place trophies at children’s Mashramani competitions in Guyana. All first place winners in different categories were chosen to represent Georgetown, and Lisa was amongst them. She was always selected to represent her region, and most times brought home the first place trophy. At the age of fourteen, Lisa entered the first ever reality show to be staged in Guyana, called Star Guyana, a competition in which contestants are required to display three talents: acting, singing and dancing. She was the youngest contestant, but won after singing a wonderful rendition of Whitney Houston’s “I will always love you”. Lisa was then labelled the “National Songbird” and “Local Whitney”. Following her Star Guyana win, Lisa was chosen to sing the theme song for CARIFESTA (Caribbean Festival of Arts). At 15, she joined the “Dance Alive” spearheaded by President of the African Cultural Development Association (ACDA), Eric Phillips, to help people living with HIV/AIDS. When asked to join The Guyana Defence Force and Phillips to work with development

for the children in Buxton, Lisa, only 15 years old, agreed. She helped children and youths as old as 19 with their music and drama skills. In 2008, Lisa took time out from her activities to prepare for her Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations, where she earned 12 passes and was awarded the Student of Excellence Award at her high school. She then moved on to Bishops High School, where she became one of the lead singers, and graduated with five subjects. Following high school, the then 17-year-old Lisa began to focus more on her music career. She promoted her talents by organizing and performing shows throughout Guyana. She also hit the studio and recorded two songs, called ‘Secret Admirer’ and ‘My Inspiration’. Both became instant hits on Guyana’s local airwave. ‘Secret Admirer’ was a crossover track mixed with reggae and pop. The second song, ‘My Inspiration’, landed on Cellink top 40 Countdown and is an upbeat R&B love song. The raspy-voice songstress says the song is about a girl who finds inspiration from her boyfriend, “It’s not just what he says but what he does that inspires her…and she loves him for that,” she explained. With two hit songs, Lisa started getting calls to perform at various shows in the country. She even landed a job as a TV host at Channel Two (2) on a programme called ‘Hard Vibes’. Another song that earned Lisa a lot of respect as a great vocalist was ‘One Last Time’. Lisa and her mother composed the song in honour of her cousin, Samuel, who died of kidney failure when he was 16. Following the release of ‘One Last Time’ in February of 2011, Lisa wrote and sang a song for her mother, called ‘Wipe Those Tears From Your Eyes’, in which she promises her mother that she would always make her proud and that she would make her dreams come true. Lisa is also a talented actress. In 2008, she won Best Actress for the play called ‘The Concert’, and later won Best Supporting Actress for the play called ‘Shadows’, at the Drama Festival in Guyana. Lisa went on to star in one of Guyana’s first shortfilm movies for the Guyana Film Festival; it is called ‘Hope’.

Lacy and his drag queen friends.

Teenage boys at the mercy of ‘strange’ predatory species THERE is indeed a serious issue that is maybe looked at too lightly by some forums, resulting in many of our young teenage boys being left at the mercy of a strange species of predator that seems to be taking over our society. Many persons would have buried the facts and glossed over the happenings when a certain incident occurred, but I waited until I secured all the facts before I attempted to pronounce on the situation; suh Ah gon sack it tuh yuh in creole style fuh yuh know dat Ah see dis as advantage pon people who ain’t know wha fuh do fuh defend dehself! Well, not so long ago, a big story had emerged involving a certain individual who had ended up slapping a teenage girl in her face because of her close association with

De lil one suffa real bad, because Lacy sodomise dat bai repeatedly, night afta night, till he damage up de poor lil bai real bad and dem had to carry he tuh ah hospital fuh get he look afta. De big bai was playing ah husband role fuh Lacy, and like Lacy was in love; suh when he realise de bai had a gyalfriend, he get jealous and visit de gyal and create ah bigooman scene. When de fyah blaze, de watah get haat, and de police come in, Lacy try fuh get rid ah dem bais; and he rival from de haspital tek dem in by he; but dat was a wrang bang!!! Who tell de rival fuh do dat!? Afta two nights pass, Lacy tun up at de rival apartment wid two drag queens, and if yuh hear how dem cuss up and light up de whole neighbourhood wid dem dutty behaviah!

Meh sarry fuh dem poor, young teenaged bais a teenage boyfriend; and that individual had rigged up a whole flimsy story in order to attract sympathy and allow himself to be put on bail in the magistrate’s court. Well, hear nah: Mouth open, story jump out. Ha! Ha! Haaa! De fact is dat de same “big maan” involved in de lil gyaal slapping incident does normally deh ‘shaakin up’ wid a set a lil bais at he house undah de pretence dat dem renting apartments there, when he does be sleeping with dem lil bais instead. De whole stinkin story bus out when he crass paths wid anadda wan ah he kind who does wuk at a haspital in Durban Backlands, and ded de cyat was let outta de bag! Well, I gon call dis “big maan” Lacy; suh people, alyuh read through de lines…. Lacy went till tuh Berbice and collect de two teenagah bais from ah friend like heself, and he bring dem tuh de city. He start fuh get intimate wid de big one, and allow dat one fuh dominate he.

And Lacy ain’t gat no shame, because he stand up deh she he cussing terrible tuh. Well, de rival get shame, and pack up dem bai clothes and let dem out he apartment quietly, because he was ashamed at de chaos dat Lacy and dem drag queens create outside. Accarding tuh de rival, dem two teenage bais ain’t really gat no way fuh stay, suh dem moving from house tuh house; and (the strange species) tekking advantage ah dem all ovah de place. Well, Lacy and dem drag queens lef de scene wid dem bais dem, and de next thing yuh know is dat de police story done and Lacy fly out tuh some foreign state… And dat is de end of it all…. But people, Ah want alyuh fuh know dat dis kind ah thing happening all ovah de place, and nobaddy ain’t saying nutthing! It look tuh me like soon dem strange species gon tek ovah de entire world and do as deh please. Woe be unto mankind if dat kinda thing evah happen!!!

GUYANA CHRONICLE Friday June 27, 2014

Aries March 21 - April 19

Your mouth is going to get away from you again, in a very big way. No, this isn’t really becoming a habit: You’re just totally out of control on a verbal level lately. The good news is that while you’ll wonder who that man behind the curtain is -the one who’s causing these strange and unusual things to fly out of your mouth -- you’ll also receive such a happy reaction from your dear ones that you might end up sending him a thank-you note.

Taurus April 20 - May 20

You’re not quite sure who the person on the phone is. Their voice sounds familiar, but they’re just not talking the way your loved one talks to you. Whether it’s a lover, a dear friend or a younger person who’s contacted you, you’ll probably ask them at least a dozen times if they’re all right. Even if they tell you everything is fine, you’ll still want to jump in your car to make sure in person.

Gemini May 21 - June 21

Remember, last week, when you were saying something about being bored to tears? Well, that’ll teach you, won’t it? Obviously, the heavens were listening -- because that certainly won’t be the case today. No, breaking up the monotony won’t be on your list of things to do -- but then, you might as well scrap that list, first thing. Why set yourself up for disappointment?

Cancer June 22 - July 22

You probably had a list to work on today, and as usual, you were planning to go through it one item at a time, crossing each off as you finished it. But a call, email or visit could quite easily have wreaked havoc on that list and on all your plans for the day. Will you mind? Not at all, if it’s for a happy reason. You’re way more inclined to spend time having fun. The laundry can wait.

Leo July 23 - August 22

Here we go again -- off to the races, so to speak. You’re going to be a salesperson’s delight. If it’s unusual, odd or vaguely resembles something that no one else has, you’ll be irresistibly attracted to it. Of course, since that’s what your taste is like on a daily basis, this is a double whammy, and it’s potent stuff. Oh, well. You’ve been good, right? And isn’t it time to buy something for yourself? Not for someone else, for the house or for the dog? Sure it is.

Virgo August 23 - September 22

When the phone rings today, you’ll feel the urgency of its ring -- don’t even bother questioning your instincts. You’re right, and you know you’re right. Your antennae don’t ever let you down, now do they? But don’t worry. All kinds of urgent situations abound, and as you know, some of them can involve some absolutely delightful emotions. Go ahead. Answer it. And don’t forget to check your email.

Libra September 23 - October 22

A sudden change may be on the agenda, and you’re already in a highly emotional state of mind -- and mood -- but you’ll definitely get through it. You might even surprise yourself at just how easily you manage it. A dear one from afar could be the reason you’re managing so well, but then again, they could also be the reason you’re needing to manage. Do what you can to help, but don’t forget your own needs in the process.

Scorpio October 23 - November 21

With any luck, you’re rested and relaxed, because that probably won’t be the case today. A most electric, unconventional day awaits you -- which might sound good to some folks but not to you. Well, there’s only one thing to do. Find someone whose company you adore, and charm them into hiding out at your place. Hibernation can be a wonderful bonding experience -- especially if you have all the right equipment: food, drink, videos and the like. Get provisions before you double-bolt the door!

Sagittarius November 22 - December 21

You may have a very intense kind of day -- the kind that leaves you wondering just who you really are and what you’re doing here. Well, you can stop wondering for now, anyway. You’re here to provide entertainment, intelligent conversation and downright fun for your peeps. Now get out of that state of the blues, and come on back to the people who love you most.

Capricorn December 22 - January 19

Your plans for the day may change early this morning, but it won’t bother you much. Of course, you’re nothing if not versatile. What’s really going to surprise you is how little it will also bother those you’re cancelling with. But since the heavenly lineup on duty at the moment is perfect for inspiring one and all to be flexible -- if not downright spontaneous -- it really makes sense. Go with the flow. It’s the only thing to do.

Aquarius January 20 - February 18

A message from afar is due to reach you soon and it’s going to contain quite unsettling news. This doesn’t mean the news will be bad -- only that it will be startling. If it’s from someone you feel you haven’t seen in much too long, don’t be surprised if they’ve also come to that conclusion -- and if they’re about to bridge the gap. Oh, and if it’s an ex lover? Let them come to you.

Pisces February 19 - March 20

To say that your companion for the day will be a bit erratic, impulsive and maybe even reckless, well, that won’t quite cover the enormity of the situation. Their behaviour may, in fact, be so far off the wall that you’ll react in an equally unpredictable style -- if you’re not careful. Desperate people do desperate things, while bored, rash people provoke impulsive actions. Don’t be roped in if you don’t want to be. Sit tight unless you’re actually craving some melodrama.

World Cup over for Suarez ... From Backpage Committee. Uruguay’s president summed up the indignation in the South American country where Suarez is considered a hero, a stark contrast to his image as a hothead for many in Europe where he has been involved in two previous biting incidents. “We didn’t choose him to be a philosopher, or a mechanic, or to have good manners - he’s a great player,” said President Jose Mujica. “I didn’t see him bite anyone.” The Uruguayan FA will appeal against the ruling, but

Suarez cannot play even if a challenge is lodged. The imposition of the fine could be delayed pending the appeal. Suarez is one of the most gifted players in world football, scoring 31 league goals in 33 games for Liverpool last season. He returned from a month on the sidelines with an injury to score twice in Uruguay’s 2-1 win over England last week, transforming the team’s

GBA launches DDL/Pepsi ... From Backpage and this tournament is one of the many ways we have decided to do so. This programme provides gainful engagement for our young people who are the core of the Pepsi fan base. Since our 2012 launch, we have seen some of the young boxers move on to represent Guyana in overseas tournaments and this shows that the tournament has had a positive effect on our young boxers,” said Larry Wills, Pepsi’s brand manager. Wills added, “As sponsor of the event, we are pleased with the way in which the tournaments are being organised and executed and we continue to be amazed at the level of professionalism executed by the young boxers. We are also confident that we will see more young stars emerge to the top level and I want to wish GBA a successful tournament and to encourage fans to come and support our young talent.” President of the GBA, Steve Ninvalle, said that he’s more than pleased to have the company back on board with GBA stating that the tournament will attract in excess of 180 fighters from across the country. “The rules are the same this year like the previous years: fighters must be attending school in order to participate,” Ninvalle said. Ninvalle said that DDL’s support to amateur boxing saw fighters like Michael April, Travis Fraser and Stephan Green, all going on to represent Guyana internationally and credits the Pepsi Under-16 tournament for bringing the aforementioned fighters to the forefront. According to Ninvalle, DDL along with Pepsi plays an integral role in the development of boxing at the Under-16 level and the sustainability of amateur boxing hangs primarily in the youths.

World Cup which began with a shock defeat by Costa Rica in a game Suarez missed through injury. But he is also one of the game’s most troubled players. As well as two previous bans for biting, Suarez was accused of racially abusing a player in England in 2011. Former Brazil striker Ronaldo had no sympathy. “Football must set an example and show examples of good players,” he told reporters. “People who are out of line must be punished. “If my little children bite me, they are sent to the dark room with the big bad wolf. This is football’s equivalent.” Suarez cannot even train or attend matches with Liverpool until late October, a big blow to their domestic and European ambitions. RECORD BAN A l t h o u g h F I FA h a s banned many players for life and issued other lengthy playing suspensions, this is the record punishment imposed for wrongdoing at the World Cup, surpassing the eight- game ban handed to Italy’s Mauro Tassotti for breaking the nose of Spain’s Luis Enrique in 1994. As well as the biting cases, Suarez was banned for one match at the last World Cup in South Africa for a deliber-

ate handball that cost Ghana a match-winning goal in a quarter-final. The latest incident occurred in the tense final minutes of Uruguay’s last Group D match against Italy, shortly before the South American champions scored to seal a 1-0 win and knock Italy out of the tournament. Suarez clashed with Giorgio Chiellini and the defender pulled down his collar to show the mark on his shoulder to the referee, who took no action. Reuters photographs show what FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee accepted were bite marks. Pictures also showed Suarez sitting on the ground holding his teeth. IMMEDIATE IMPACT The ruling may have longterm repercussions for Suarez off the pitch. His sponsors had said they would decide on their relationship once the outcome of the investigation was known. German sportswear firm Adidas stopped short yesterday of axing Suarez but said it would not use him in any further World Cup marketing. “Adidas certainly does not condone Luis Suarez’s recent behaviour and we will again be reminding him of the high standards we expect from our players,” a spokeswoman said.

Nadal fights off bogeyman Rosol, Serena on a roll

… WILLIAMS, FEDERER UNTROUBLED; TEENAGER KYRGIOS SAVES NINE MATCH POINTS

Serena Williams By Martyn Herman LONDON, England (Reuters) - World number one Rafael Nadal pulled back from the abyss to reach the third round at Wimbledon yesterday just when it looked as though bogeyman Lukas Rosol had returned to haunt him. Two years after being knocked out at the same stage by the hard-hitting Czech in a late night Centre Court horror show, the Spaniard found himself a point away from falling two sets behind before fighting back to win 4-6, 7-6(6), 6-4, 6-4. “Today is another history, another story,” Nadal, who could now use his escape as a springboard towards a third title, told reporters after what had been billed as a grudge match. “I needed to find the solution. Finally I did.” If twice former champion Nadal is being made to work overtime so far, women’s favourite Serena Williams, bidding for a sixth singles title at the All England club, and Roger Federer who is chasing a record eighth, have marched through untroubled. Williams beat South African Chanelle Scheepers 6-1, 6-1 and has dropped a mere five games so far while Federer sauntered to a 6-3, 7-5, 6-3 win over Luxembourg’s Gilles Muller - a match requiring the Centre Court roof after rain arrived late on. Fifth seed Maria Sharapova completed a good day for former champions, the Russian hurrying past Timea Bacsinszky 6-2, 6-1. “I’m sure happy to get through an extra round than I did last year,” 2004 winner Sharapova, who slipped out in the second round last year, told reporters. While most of the big names made progress on day four, Australian wildcard Nick Kyrgios provided the biggest shock with an incredible comeback victory over 13th seed Richard Gasquet. One of several young guns making an impact at the

championships, the 19-yearold battled from a two-set deficit against Frenchman, saving nine match points in a cliffhanger decider to seal a 3-6, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-5, 10-8 victory. As well as reaching the third round of a slam for the first time, Kyrgios also earned the distinction of saving the most match points by a man at Wimbledon. Nadal is never more vulnerable than in the early rounds at Wimbledon as he makes the tricky transition from dusty red clay to the

back in the second set and seemed to have the 14-times grand slam champion at his mercy when he broke Nadal’s serve to love to lead 4-2. His level dipped slightly, however, and Nadal broke back to level at 4-4. Rosol was not out of bullets and he continued to blaze away in the tiebreak, moving a mini-break ahead and then having a set point at 6-5 on the Nadal serve which the Spaniard saved with a whipped forehand winner. STRONGER AND

Rafael Nadal low, skidding balls fired at him on fresh green grass. Feisty Slovakian Martin Klizan proved a handful in the opening round, taking the first set, but Nadal found himself in an even deeper hole yesterday against the man who sent his world spinning off its axis in 2012. Rosol’s dramatic five-set win under the Centre Court roof two years ago was the last match Nadal played for seven months as the pain in his battle-scarred knees got the better of him. This time, with second seed Nadal clearly in much better physical condition, the pattern was ominously familiar as 52nd ranked Rosol came out all guns blazing. Thundering down aces clocked at over 130 mph and making mincemeat of Nadal’s serves at times with some savage returns, Rosol showed the 14-time grand slam champion little respect, rattling through some games in the blink of an eye. A panicky Nadal succumbed to the onslaught in the ninth game - a double fault and a skewed forehand allowing Rosol to break serve and the Czech then closed the set with a love game. Rosol, who has two speeds - hard and very hard continued pinning Nadal

STRONGER A Rosol double-fault gifted a relived Nadal the set and the Mallorcan punched his fist towards his coach and uncle Toni before moving up a gear and into the third round for the first time since 2011. “The difference maybe is one point,” Nadal, who suffered a first-round loss here last year to Steve Darcis, told reporters. “Maybe if I lost that set point in the second set, if that forehand down the line went out, maybe I will be sitting here with a loss.” Ominously for the rest of the players in the bottom half of the draw, which includes Federer, Nadal tends to get stronger and stronger once he finds his feet on grass. In the last decade, every time he has survived past the second round he has gone on to reach the final, winning the title in 2008 and 2010 and losing in 2006, 2007 and 2011. “It’s the best level I played on grass for a long time, the last three sets,” he said. “That’s very important news for me.” Kyrgios, who could play Nadal in the last 16, was not the only player to survive a five-setter yesterday. His third-round opponent, young Czech Jiri Vesely, beat French 24th seed Gael Monfils 7-6(3), 6-3,

6-7(1), 6-7(3), 6-4 while Monfils’ compatriot JoWilfried Tsonga edged past American Sam Querrey, winning a deciding set hung over from Wednesday, 14-

12. Marathon man John Isner, who played the longest match in Wimbledon history in 2010, is the last American man standing.

He won a first-set tiebreak 19-17 the longest Wimbledon tiebreak since 1973 -- against Finn Jarkko Nieminen on his way to a straight-sets win.

Germany, U.S. and Algeria advance By Neil Maidment SALVADOR, Brazil (Reuters) - Germany, the United States and Algeria sealed last 16 World Cup places yesterday but much of the spotlight was on the tournament’s bad boys as Uruguay’s Luis Suarez got a nine-match ban for biting and Ghana sent two players home in disgrace. On the final day of group matches, Germany beat the U.S. 1-0, a result that put both teams through from Group G, while Algeria’s 1-1 draw with Russia saw them join already-qualified Belgium in the second round for the first time from Group H. Germany will now play Algeria on Monday in Porto Alegre while Belgium will battle with the U.S. in Salvador on Tuesday. Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal, Ghana, South Korea and Russia were the day’s casualties with all heading home. Much of the talk in the last few days has, however, been about bad behaviour marring an otherwise excellent tournament and events took another explosive turn yesterday. Uruguay’s mercurial striker

Suarez was handed a ninematch ban by FIFA - the biggest imposed at a World Cup - for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini during Tuesday’s group match and has been suspended from any football-related activity for four months. “Such behaviour cannot be tolerated on any football pitch, and in particular not at a FIFA World Cup when the eyes of millions of people are on the stars on the field,” soccer’s world governing body said in a statement. Uruguay’s FA president Wilmar Valdez said they would appeal, while its government will meet to discuss “options” relating to the ban, which ends Suarez’s World Cup involvement and forces him to miss the first two months of the English season. Suarez, voted England’s Footballer-of-the-Year after scoring 31 league goals for Liverpool last term, has now been involved in three incidents of biting opponents, and one of racial abuse. The latest ban means the 27-year-old will have missed 34 matches in total as punishment for those offences. Coming two days before their

team’s last 16 match against Colombia, many Uruguayans slammed the latest sanction as exaggerated, hypocritical, or even biased. Others, such as ex-Brazil striker Ronaldo, weren’t so sympathetic. “If my kids bite me they are punished in the dark room with the big bad wolf: that’s the soccer equivalent,” he said. CASH CLASH Ghana’s preparations for their Brasilia match with Portugal were less than ideal. Before kickoff they confirmed key midfielders Kevin-Prince Boateng and Sulley Muntari had been suspended after they clashed with coach Kwesi Appiah and a Ghana Football Association (GFA) official. Boateng was sanctioned following “vulgar verbal insults targeted at coach Kwesi Appiah during the team’s training session in Maceio this week,” the GFA said. Muntari’s punishment was handed down after he punched an executive committee member of the GFA. The incident happened during a meeting over unpaid money as senior players

Germany forward Miroslav Klose (11) jumps onto forward Thomas Mueller (13) after Mueller scored the only goal of the game during the second half of Germany’s 1-0 win over the United States at Arena Pernambuco. rounded on team officials for not keeping promises, a team source said. Germany negotiated torrential rain in Recife to ensure they topped Group G with a 55th minute Thomas Mueller goal, the prolific forward collecting a loose ball on the edge of the area and superbly side-footing into the bottom corner. The Germans dominated the game with Juergen Klinsmann’s team creating very few chances and finished top of the group on seven points, followed by the U.S. (4), Portugal (4) and Ghana (1). Portugal talisman Ronaldo scored his first goal of the tournament against Ghana

but the 2-1 result was not enough to avoid an exit on goal difference behind the U.S. - which might have been avoided had Ronaldo converted three great chances. Ghana’s John Boye sliced a cross into his own net after 31 minutes to hand Portugal the lead, before Asamoah Gyan met a lovely Kwadwo Asamoah cross 12 minutes into the second half. The header marked his sixth World Cup goal making him the highest-scoring African in finals history. Both sides then missed chances before Ronaldo found the net in the 80th minute. PLAYBOY BAN

In Group H already qualified Belgium beat South Korea 1-0 with a 78th minute goal from defender Jan Vertonghen, despite losing midfielder Steven Defour to a 45th minute red card after a needless, studs-up challenge on Kim Shin-wook. Korea’s defeat rounded off a miserable tournament for the four Asian sides, also including Australia, Japan and Iran, who failed to muster a win between them and all finished bottom of their groups. On a momentous night for Algeria, the North Africans took second spot after Islam Slimani’s powerful header on the hour cancelled out Alexander Kokorin’s superb sixth minute opener, dumping Russia, who needed a win, out of the tournament. The group finished with Belgium on nine points, followed by Algeria (4), Russia (2) and South Korea (1). It was the first time two African sides had reached the last 16 with the Algerians joining Nigeria in the second round. Elsewhere, Argentina striker Sergio Aguero’s World Cup looks to be over after he suffered a muscle tear in Wednesday’s 3-2 win over the Nigerians. Brazil’s Neymar also did his best not to add to the player headlines. The forward won an appeal to have the local June edition of Playboy magazine, which claimed to feature an ex-girlfriend, removed from the news stands.

Ronaldo misfires as Portugal and Ghana bow out Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo reacts after a play during their 2014 World Cup Group G soccer match against Ghana at the Brasilia national stadium in Brasilia, yesterday. (Credit: REUTERS/Ueslei Marcelino) By Patrick Johnston BRASILIA, Brazil, (Reuters) Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal of the World Cup but crucially wasted several other good chances in Portugal’s 2-1 win over a haphazard Ghana yesterday that sent both sides home. The Portuguese finished level on four points with the United States in Group G but the Americans advanced to the last 16 courtesy of a better

goal difference despite their 1-0 loss to group winners Germany in Recife. The World Player-of-theYear could have changed that had he converted three great chances which would have sent the Europeans through at the expense of the U.S. on goals scored. All he could manage, though, was an 80th minute strike - his 50th goal for his country - after Ghana goalkeeper Fatawu Dauda flapped at a high ball and directed it straight to the

grateful Real Madrid forward. “We created a lot of chances we didn’t convert all of them, we needed three goals and we were depending on the Germany result. It wasn’t possible,” Ronaldo told reporters. “We knew it was complicated, that’s football, we leave with our heads held high, we tried out best and we didn’t succeed.” The Portuguese skipper, who also hit the crossbar in the first half with a cross shot, cut a frustrated figure throughout the match at the Brasilia national stadium and again appeared shorn of full fitness amid concerns about longterm knee woes. He should have opened the scoring in the 19th minute but his close range header was well parried by Dauda, with the keeper also repelling

a long-range free-kick from the Real Madrid man seven minutes earlier. Dauda, though, was left to helplessly pick the ball out of his own net when team mate John Boye skewed a clearance in off the crossbar in the 31st minute of a game lacking quality despite both teams still chasing a place in the last 16. The goal came after a Ghana break was ended by Bahrain official Nawaf Shukralla accidentally blocking an attempted pass, handing possession to the Portuguese who went up field and scored. The messy opener followed Ghana’s ragged preparations for the game, with a row over World Cup appearance fees only resolved on the eve of the match after money was sent by the country’s president. However, more problems surfaced hours before kick-

off when midfielders KevinPrince Boateng and Sulley Muntari were sent home for ill-discipline. The industrious team refused to fold, though, and were deservedly back on level terms in the 57th minute after striker Asamoah Gyan headed home at the back post following a brilliant cross with the outside of his foot by Kwadwo Asamoah. GYAN RECORD It was Gyan’s sixth World Cup goal and he is now the highest-scoring African in finals history, surpassing the five scored by Cameroon’s Roger Milla. Gyan then turned provider, putting in another ball from the left, for an unmarked Abdul Majeed Waris moments later but the striker could only steer his header wide from six

yards out. A 2-1 victory for Ghana, who reached the quarterfinals four years ago, would have sent them through to the second round but Waris’ profligacy was punished by Ronaldo with 10 minutes remaining to knock the wind out of the Africans. Ronaldo, lacking the usual mazy runs and skilful flicks and tricks, should have added another, minutes later but Dauda was on hand to parry the forward’s side footed effort from close range. The keeper also blocked an effort from the skipper in the dying stages as the Portuguese poured forward in their fruitless search for goals against the beaten Africans. “We are very disappointed. We have to go home and come back stronger,” Gyan said after they finished bottom of the group with one point.

TCL supports RHTYSC Summer Academy for second successive year By Calvin Roberts TWO YEARS ago, when the management of Trinidad Cement Limited (TCL) were approached by Guyana’s leading youth and sports club, the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTYSC), to offset expenses for their summer academy, readily TCL agreed. Yesterday for the second successive year, Plant Manager of TCL Mark Bender in the presence of his Company’s Sales and Marketing Representative Eric Whaul, presented Secretary/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of RHTYSC Hilbert Foster with a cheque for $200 000, which will go towards the hosting of this year’s Summer Academy that would last from July 14 to 26 at the Club’s Area ‘H’ location. Prior to handing over the cheque, Bender in his brief remarks said he was pleased with the work that is being done at the Club during the hosting of the Academy, which also focuses on other projects apart from cricket.

“Initially, when we got involved with the Club’s Summer Academy, we were pleased to see that they were not only dealing with the cricketing aspect of things, but other projects such as Drug Abuse, Peer Pressure, The Importance of Discipline’ and The Role of a Sports Ambassador,’” said Bender. He added that he is a member of another forum and recently during one of their discussions, the focus on youths and issues facing them in society were discussed. All agreed that something needed to be done to bring the youths who are the future of our country, back in line. “Programmes such as this one being undertaken by RHTYSC would always help our youths and therefore it will attract the attention of TCL and we look forward to sponsoring it even as we congratulate Foster on the multi-dimensional aspect of the Academy and we are extremely happy to be involved this year,” stated Bender.

He said that 80 to 100 youths between the ages of 8 and 18, would have been exposed to the basics of batting, bowling, fielding, wicketkeeping and physical fitness by coaches Delbert Hicks and Winston Smith, while they would be lectured on the other topics mentioned earlier. “We are confident that at the end of the two weeks Academy, the youths would not only be better cricketers, but would also understand

what it takes to be successful on and off the field, with last year’s Academy producing 14 young cricketers for Berbice at the junior level, both male and female and we are hoping that this year’s Academy would remain on the same path.” He reassured TCL that the sponsorship would be used for its intended purposes, adding that as usual, the Academy would be well organised and would achieve its objectives, while he expressed special thanks to the management and staff of TCL, especially Bender and Whaul, who expressed their continued confidence in the RHTYSC. Foster also said that all the attendees of the Summer Academy would be the recipients of educational kits compliments of some other sponsors including telecommunications giant Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company.

India’s Srinivasan takes over as ICC chairman

(REUTERS) - India’s N. Srinivasan was confirmed as chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in Melbourne yesterday, giving the 69-yearold industrialist the most powerful role in the governing body’s restructured organisation. Srinivasan, who emerged as the leading candidate to become ICC chairman in February, will assume office almost immediately after the governing body rubber-stamped constitutional changes at its annual conference being held this week in Australia. “It is an honour to be confirmed as the Chairman of the International Cricket Council,” Srinivasan said in a statement after the 52-member full council approved amendments which, to many observers, give India, England and Australia virtual control of the sport. Often described as the most powerful man in cricket, Srinivasan became Indian board (BCCI) president in 2011 but was ordered to step aside in March to ensure a

N. Srinivasan fair investigation into an illegal betting scandal during last year’s Indian Premier League involving his sonin-law. The Chennai-native was also accused of having a conflict of interest due to his India Cements company owning a franchise in the lucrative Twenty20 league. Those controversies have led to some criticism of his appointment with one official of a now unrecognised unit within the Indian cricket board urging the country’s Supreme Court to bar Srinivasan from taking over as ICC chief. “I believe that some of

the criticism is unfair to me and it’s not well-founded,” Srinivasan told reporters. “One must judge me by results. “It’s the first day. I have just been elected. One has to wait and see as to what is the effect I have on the ICC before you make that call.” NO STONE UNTURNED Srinivasan added that he had voluntarily stepped aside from the top BCCI post. “I have not done anything wrong for which I should feel hesitant to take this position,” he added. Once he assumes the new role at the end of the conference, Srinivasan’s priority will be to expand the global reach of a sport that only has 10 teams playing at Test level. “I will leave no stone unturned in trying to strengthen the pillars and foundations of our sport, both on and off the field,” he said. “I want to ensure that

cricket retains and grows its popularity, and that the ICC plays a leading role in this global growth. “I want to see more strong teams in international cricket. For this to be achieved, we all need to work hard to develop local talent in our countries. Naturally, there will be more support to those who first show they can help themselves,” Srinivasan added. The ICC also announced other administrative changes with Mustafa Kamal of Bangladesh elected as its new president, now a titular post, while a new executive committee headed by Cricket Australia chairman Wally Edwards was also formed. England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Giles Clarke will continue to head the ICC’s Finance and Commercial Affairs Committee in a new structure that will see the ‘Big Three’ boards pocketing the greater share of ICC revenue.

4TH DIGICEL INTER-SECONDARY SCHOOL FOOTBALL C’SHIPS

Adonis hat-trick fires Brickdam past Central High … BHS blanks Skeldon By Calvin Roberts DESPITE missing numerous goal-scoring opportunities, especially in the second half, Brickdam Secondary still managed to come away with an 8-0 victory over a game Central High School, in their fourth Digicel InterSecondary School Football Championship matchup at the Ministry of Education ground yesterday. This was mainly through a hat-trick of goals from diminutive striker Malachi Adonis, while his teammate Andrew Adams missed seven chances in the second half to further underline his team’s superiority over their opponents, in soggy conditions. At the Skeldon Community Centre ground, Berbice High School (BHS) gave the home team marching orders out of the tournament with their 3-0 win, thanks to a brace from Mustapha Dolson, while at the Georgetown

Football Club (GFC) ground, Bishops’ High defeated St Joseph 4-1. The contest at Carifesta Avenue saw Brickdam go after their opponents from the opening whistle with the Atlantic Ocean wind strong on their backs, winning a free kick as early as the 4th minute, which Adams, who was brought down just outside the box, shot wide of the uprights. A well-directed corner kick from Orville Parris in the 13th minute was converted by Dominic Barker before Adonis got the first of his three goals seven minutes later, scoring off a botched goal kick that was taken by Central custodian Osama McAlmont. At the other end of the field, Brickdam custodian Darren Marks affected a save off a shot taken by Central’s Tyriq Jacobs, who had flown the off-side trap and given himself a one-on-one chance with Marks, who stood tall and came out the victor in

Five minutes later another shot from Jacobs went wide of the uprights, after he sent the ball over the head of an advancing Marks, as the vulnerability in Brickdam’s four-man defence was exposed, but not taken advantage of by Central, who lacked firing power at the top. From another loose ball,

Adonis, who sent several passes to Adams that were botched by the striker on every occasion, made it 3-0 for Brickdam in the 36th minute when he beat the opposing custodian from the top of the box, following a gem of a pass from Malachi Richards. The eventual victors thwarted their opponents, for whom Emmanuel William was working overtime in

all positions, with the aim of reducing Brickdam’s lead and when the whistle sounded to signal the end of the first half, Brickdam held a 3-0 advantage. On the resumption of play, Central had the chance to make it a two-goal possession, but selfish play from Daniel Thomas who bullied Jacobs off the ball when presented with a twoon-one situation with only Marks to beat, saw Thomas’ shot go high over the bar. They were made to pay for that blunder, as Denilson Rose scored with a wellplaced shot from the top right hand of the box in the 47th minute for a 4-0 lead, following which Adonis missed the chance to register his hat-trick when he sent his shot high over the bar. An own goal scored off an Adams corner kick in the 57th minute made it 5-0 in favour of Brickdam who had much to celebrate shortly after when Adonis completed his hat-trick in the 75th minute. A handled ball in the area by Malique Browne saw the referee point to the spot,

with Marks stepping up and nailing home the penalty kick in the 79th minute, following which the final whistle sounded handing Brickdam a lopsided victory. At Skeldon, Dolson found the back of the net in the 52nd and 60th minutes and got support from Kevin Sandy, whose solitary strike was placed on the scorer’s sheet in the 68th minute, as BHS sent Skeldon back to the drawing board to prepare for next year’s tournament. At GFC, Nathaniel Singh had a hat-trick in the 6th, 8th and 15th minutes of play and which was complemented by Shaquille Moseley’s 20th minute goal that guided Bishops’ High to their 4-1 over St Joseph, whose lone goal came off the boot of Dwight Ferguson in the 63rd minute. The action is set to continue today with several matches from 15:30hrs, including a semifinal fixture in Region 10 between two-times defending champions Christianburg/Wismar Secondary School and New Silvercity Secondary at the Wisburg Community Centre ground.

Fuming sees red over ban on hero Suarez By Malena Castaldi M O N T E V I D E O , ,(Reuters) - Uruguayans were incensed yesterday after FIFA suspended their star striker Luis Suarez for nine matches for biting Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini, with many slamming the ban as exaggerated, hypocritical, or even biased. “They’re acting as if he were a criminal, a terrorist,” said Maria Cardozo, a 48 yearold administrative worker. “They’re exaggerating the aggression although I do think it warranted some sort of punishment.” Suarez is synonymous with controversy in much of the world. He has twice before been banned for biting and had to sit out eight matches for racially abusing Manchester United’s Patrice Evra. But in small, football-crazed Uruguay, the Liverpool forward is a rags-to-riches hero that his compatriots have passionately defended. Even leftist president Jose Mujica phoned coach Oscar

Jeffrey looking to defend his GCF Championship titles By Calvin Roberts DISAPPOINTED with his showing in last month’s Independence Three-stage cycle road race, but buoyed by his Commonwealth Games selection, Guyana Cycling Federation national Time Trial and Road Race champion Raynauth ‘Obeah Man’ Jeffrey is eagerly looking forward to defending his titles this weekend. Riding for Team Coco’s (Guyana), Jeffrey clocked an overall time of 3h: 48m: 40.71secs to take last year’s national road race from Alanzo Greaves, who stopped the clock three minutes later followed by his Roraima Bikers Club teammate Warren McKay. Speaking with Chronicle Sport yesterday, the 20-yearold Jeffrey said mechanical problems prevented him from recording a better placing in the three-stage event, but he felt pleased to be selected for the Commonwealth Games team, a testament of his hard work put in over the years. “When I was well positioned at the front of the breakaway peloton in the first stage, I suffered a puncture and had to wait over 10 minutes for a wheel change, at which time the chasing pack had passed me. When I got the change, I had to put in an extra effort to catch up with the pack, while the frontrunners were approaching the finish line, so my hard work went in vain, a result of which I suffered cramps in my legs during the second stage and could not push for a better placing,” said Jeffrey. He said that with the race out of his grasp, his next best option was to ensure his teammate Darren Matthews of Barbados finished as the overall champion, something that eventually occurred and for which he was pleased. Looking ahead to tomorrow’s Time Trial and Sunday’s Road Race championships, Jeffrey, who shocked his more illustrious opponents with his win last year, despite being in impeccable form prior to that, said he is looking forward to the defence of his titles earnestly. “I am feeling great. After the three-stage, I put in a lot of work on my bike, while I was also visiting the gym regularly, since I aim to redeem myself first in the Time Trials and then the road race, with Domination being my watchword.” He said he will be going to Anguilla for next week-

end’s John .T. Memorial cycling event, with the aim of improving on his third place performance last year, by going two places better atop the podium. Asked who will be his fiercest competitor for this weekend’s event, he boldly said none, even though he has earmarked Geron ‘Super Buck’ Williams as the man to watch, despite his having certain hiccups. “Geron is fit. He is in a zone primed with condition following his exploits in the United States of America, where he was riding for a pro team. “Nevertheless, he still have to put in the effort in order to get the gains here on our roads and while in the USA he has a team working for him, down here he will be facing an uphill task if he wishes to come out on top,” said Jeffrey. He added, “I have noticed that he (Geron) is not a distance rider, but his fitness that he goes into races with, serves him well in the end as he has the condition. In addition to that, he has been racing every weekend in the USA, so he has the mileage in his legs. “But when I looked at him last year when he returned from his stint in the USA where he was winning races, to me he was cold and ineffective, but I am not underestimating him or anyone this weekend. All I know is I ma the champion and I am going out there to keep my title.” With regard to his Commonwealth Games selection, he is viewing it as a chance to showcase his talent to some professional team out there, since it is his ambition to one day ride and represent a pro team on the international circuit. This year’s championships will be held over two days, with the time trials for Junior, Senior, Veterans, Ladies and Juvenile cyclists taking place tomorrow from Long Creek on the Soesdyke/ Linden Highway, proceeding to Loo Creek and back to the place of origin and all cyclists are asked to be at the starting point for 09:00hrs. On Sunday, the National Road Race championships will pedal off from Homestretch Avenue at 07:00hrs, with registration starting at 06:00hrs and will see cyclists in four different categories, proceeding to four different turn-back points on the highway. The seniors will proceed to Kairuni Creek and re-

… buoyed by Commonwealth Games selection turn to Homestretch Avenue, covering exactly 100 miles, while the juniors will turn back at the Police Outpost on the highway and return to starting point, for a distance of 60 miles. The veterans and female riders will turn back at Kuru Kuru and head to Georgetown, covering a

distance of 45 miles, while the juveniles will turn back at Coverden, for a distance of 40 miles. Improved times should be the order of the day for this year’s championships, especially with the participation of some of the cyclists who have been chosen by the GCF to compete in

next month’s Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland from July 23 to August 3. In the junior division Michael Anthony emulated Jeffrey by copping both the Time Trial and Road Race, clocking 2h. 59m: 36secs for the former ahead of Shaquille Agard and Hamzah Eastman. Naomi Singh of East

Coast Demerara finished almost two minutes ahead of Linden’s Hazina Barrett to cop the female title, while England-based Fraser-Greene, who won in 2012, occupied third spot. The top three finishers in the Veterans Over-45 race were Ian Jackson, Raymond Newton and Gary Benjamin, while Junior Niles comfortably won the Veterans Under-45 ahead of Ralph Williams and Sybourne Fernandes.
