Speaker’s decision to refer Dr. Singh to Privileges Committee a ‘strange ruling’ -President Ramotar

By Vanessa Narine PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar yesterday addressed the ruling of the National Assembly’s Speaker, Raphael Trotman, on the referral of Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh to the Parliamentary Privileges Committee.

And he contends that it is a “strange ruling” since there is no question on the constitutionality and legality of the action, particularly given that Chief Justice (ag.), Ian Chang pronounced on the matter in 2012, and monies cut from the Budget were restored in that year, as well as in 2013.

He said: “The Parliament went through this process in 2012 and 2013, so this is not something new. The Speaker himself participated in this process in 2012 and 2013, along with other members of the National Assembly.”

The Speaker ’s ruling was in response to a motion moved by A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Member of Parliament (MP), Carl Greenidge, who is claiming a breach of constitutional powers, which govern spending of public funds.

The combined Opposition is contending that the Finance Minister violated the law by spending monies disapproved by the Combined Opposition during the 2014 Budget debates, as reflected in a $4.6B Statement of Excess he has tabled in the National Assembly on June 19 last.

The financial paper restored monies that were disapproved by the combined Opposition.

INTERPRETATION IS CLEAR Greenidge relied on Article 217 of the Constitution as the basis of support for his motion.

However, Government is contending that Article 218 provides for monies to be drawn from the Consolidated

Fund outside of the limits imposed by Article 217; in other words, Article 217 sets out the general rule and Article 218, the exceptions to that rule. That is precisely why the wording of Article 218 supercedes the words of Article 217.

The President stressed that the interpretation given by the Chief Justice (ag.) is

that the Court has the final say on the interpretation of the Constitution.

“The AG (AttorneyGeneral) is an authority on this regard and the other party, which has the final ruling, is the court. It is not a question of who I consult, of consultation, because these are things that have happened before,” he said.

this (what we do) and it is this that recognises the roles of the three branches of Government. It is the role of the Court to interpret the Constitution to say Parliament and the Executive is acting (in accordance)… this is no question of us using one branch against another.

This is total nonsense. It is absolute nonsense.”

GOOD NEWS

M r. R a m o t a r a l s o rejected the assertion that the Executive is trying to invoke the power of court to upset

According to the President, the $4.6B, which is being challenged, represents sums that were cut from the 2014 Budget, but were restored, given their importance.

“Minister Singh was not acting on his own-this was a decision of Cabinet, which I chair,” Mr. Ramotar posited.

Included in the $4.6B Paper is the full return of $6.1B to the Office of the President. The allocation, for current expenditures, included monies for the Government Information Agency (GINA) and the National Communications Network (NCN).

Also, the sum of $450M has been returned to the President’s office for capital expenditures under the Administrative Services category.

A portion of the capital expenditures under the

When asked, the President welcomed the indication that the Opposition will also move to the court to have the $4.6B spending addressed.

“It is good news that he is going to the court, because this is the proper place to go. This is where he (the Opposition Leader, Brigadier (rtd.) David Granger, should go,” the President stressed.

The $4.6B Statement of Excess is the fourth since the start of the 10th Parliament, Financial Paper 1/2014, tabled in the National Assembly on June 19, is yet to be considered by the House at the next sitting.

It reflects spending from January 1, 2014 to June 16, 2014. To date, in the 10th Parliament, of the four Statements of Excess that have been tabled, 58 per cent of what was considered has been approved by the combined Opposition.

Section 218 (3) of the Constitution states that: “If in respect of any financial year, it is found: (a) that the

IMPORTANT RESTORATIONS

President Donald Ramotar addressing the issue of Dr. Singh’s referral to a Parliamentary Privileges Committee, yesterday at State House clear and reflects the above stated contention.

M r. R a m o t a r s a i d : “There is no question on the constitutionality and legality of the action (the spending) taken. These are things that were ruled on in 2012…we have always been working legally and within the framework of our Constitution.

“I found the ruling rather strange, because the Speaker participated in this process two years in a row…the Opposition likes to talk about the rule of law and working within the confines of the rule of law, but we have a decision from the constitutional court on this matter, yet we have a ruling.”

The Head of State added

The Amerindian D e v e l o p m e n t F u n d ’s $303M allocation has been returned to the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs, as has the $359.8M for the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA)’s expansion project.

amount appropriated for that purpose by the Appropriation Act or for a purpose for which no amount has been appropriated by that Act, a supplementary estimate or, as the case may be, a statement of excess showing the sums required or spent shall be laid before the Assembly by the Prime Minister or any other Minister designated by the President.”

To date, in the 10th Parliament, four Statements of Excess have been tabled, 58 per cent of which has been approved by the combined Opposition.

Also, the Parliamentary Standing Order 78 (1), which deals with supplementary estimates of expenditure and statements of excess.

The Order states that: “If in respect of any financial year it is found:- [a] that the amount appropriated by the Appropriation Act for any purpose is insufficient or that a need has arisen for Expenditure for a purpose for which amount has been appropriated by that Act; “Or [b] that any moneys have been expended for any purpose in excess of the amount appropriated for that purpose by the Appropriation Act or for a purpose for which no amount has been appropriated by that Act; “Or [c] that advances have been made from the Contingencies Fund for Expenditure for which no other provision exists, a Minister may present a Paper with the Supplementary Estimate or, as the case may be, the Statement of Excess showing the sums required or spent and that Paper shall be ordered to be printed and shall stand referred to the Committee of Supply without question put and shall be appointed to be considered on a day to be named by the Minister presenting the Paper but not earlier than one (1) day after that on which the Paper was presented.”

A d d i t i o n a l l y, t h e Finance Minister also maintains the contention that all public spending advanced by the current administration has been done within the stated legal parameters and can withstand any level of scrutiny.

President maintains readiness for ‘any’ election

By Vanessa Narine

“If we have to do that (call snap elections) we will do that if it is needed to be done, but also elections are an expensive thing. So, let’s save the Guyanese people some money and continue as long as we can (without moving rashly),” he said.

The Head of State disclosed too that the issue of his

PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar has reiterated his party’s state of readiness in the event of “any” elections, be it local government or general elections.

“We have said that we are ready and we have to be ready. We have to be ready because we have a one-seat minority in the National Assembly.” “The joint Opposition has one seat more than us; therefore it means that at any time they can pass a no-confidence motion. From that point of view, we have to always be ready for any elections,” he said, at a press conference held at State House yesterday.

According to him, while the readiness of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) is the subject of a “raging debate” his position on the matter is that if the Commission is ready, there is no need for six months to facilitate a work plan, which is intended to ensure GECOM’s is ready for the election process.

“If you need six months, how prepared are you,” the President questioned.

When asked about the political gridlock, characterised by no-confidence motions and referrals to privileges committees, and his intentions to move to snap elections, Mr. Ramotar made it clear that any move by his President Donald Ramotar, at a news conference administration will take into consideration the desires of yesterday, stressed his Government’s readiness for either local government or general elections the Guyanese people.

running as the ruling party’s presidential candidate, if there is a move towards snap elections, has not come up. “I haven’t seen any reason why not,” he however, said.

On the issue of the continuing delays with the hosting of local government elections, Mr. Ramotar maintained that there are several factors to be taken into consideration in this regard.

“Up to 2010 it was the PNC (People’s Nation Congress) that asked to postpone the local government elections… as it stands now, it is not a question of unwillingness,” he posited, adding that the extenuating circumstances must be acknowledged.

The President stated his hope for the current challenges to be overcome soon to facilitate the much-delayed hosting of local government elections.

Relative to the assertion of the reduction of the party’s support base, he said, “The PPP (People’s Progressive Party) has constantly worked with every section of the Guyanese people…we would like ideally to have 100 per cent support, but this is a great ideal and we continue to work to convince the majority of Guyanese that our policies are the best for Guyana.”

Mr. Ramotar reiterated his party’s readiness for the hosting of either local government or general elections and stressed that consecutive PPP led administrations have a proven track record.

By Nidal al-Mughrabi and Ori Lewis (Reuters) - MILITANTS resumed firings rockets into Israel from Gaza on Saturday, rejecting an extension to a ceasefire in a conflict in which more than 1,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have died.

Israel had agreed to extend an initial 12-hour pause in the fighting by a further

four hours but this was rejected by Islamist group Hamas, which dominates Gaza.

Warning sirens sounded across the country as rockets were fired as far as the Tel Aviv area, police said. Israeli tank fire killed a man in the southern Gaza Strip, a local official said, announcing the first fatality after the breakdown of the ceasefire.

Even before the truce

broke down, some Israeli ministers signalled that a comprehensive deal to end the 19day conflict with Hamas and its allies was remote.

Gazans had earlier taken advantage of the lull in fighting to recover their dead and stock up on food supplies, flooding into the streets after the ceasefire began at 8.00 a.m. (0100 EST) to discover scenes of massive destruction

in some areas.

Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf Al-Qidra said rescue teams had retrieved 132 bodies from wrecked neighborhoods.

The man killed by tank fire brought the number of Palestinian fatalities to 1,033 since July 8 when Israel launched its offensive, aimed at ending rocket fire out of Gaza.

(Reuters) - RUSSIA reacted angrily on Saturday to additional sanctions imposed by the European Union over Moscow’s role in the Ukraine crisis, saying they would hamper cooperation on security issues and undermine the fight against terrorism and organized crime.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry also accused the United States, which has already imposed its own sanctions against Moscow, of contributing to the conflict in Ukraine through its support for the pro-Western government in Kiev.

The 28-nation EU reached an outline agreement on Friday to impose the first economic sanctions

on Russia over its behavior in Ukraine but scaled back their scope to exclude technology for the crucial gas sector.

The EU also imposed travel bans and asset freezes on the chiefs of Russia’s FSB security service and foreign intelligence service and a number of other top Russian officials, saying they had helped shape Russian government policy that threatened Ukraine’s sovereignty and national integrity.

“The additional sanction list is direct evidence that the EU countries have set a course for a full scaling down cooperation with Russia over the issues of international and regional security,” Russia’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement. “(This) includes the fight against the proliferation of weapon of mass destruction, terrorism, organized crime and other new challenges and dangers.”

Argentina debt talks deadlocked as default looms

By CLAUDIA TORRENS NEW YORK (AP) — ARGENTINA’S negotiations with creditors to resolve a dispute over $1.5 billion in unpaid debts remained deadlocked following talks Friday, setting it on a course for a possible catastrophic default next week.

Argentina will default

for the second time in 13 years if it cannot reach a deal with the U.S. hedge funds before July 30. Daniel Pollack, the court-appointed mediator in the dispute, met with Argentine officials and in a statement released after the talks said that progress had not been reached. Pollack also said the Argentines were returning to Buenos

Aires Friday night, but he expects more talks before the deadline.

Following a U.S. judge’s order, Argentina can’t pay investors who accepted lower-valued bonds after its record $100 billion default in 2001 unless it also pays off creditors who didn’t participate in previous bond swaps.

EDITORIAL

PROGRESS AMID OPPOSITION

SO, finally, Speaker of Parliament, Raphael Trotman, has referred Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh to the Privileges Committee for what’s being claimed, by the parliamentary APNU/AFC Opposition, the Government’s wrongful expenditure of approximately G$4.6 billion not authorised by the National Assembly.

Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall has already challenged the Speaker’s decision and referenced an earlier ruling by acting Chief Justice Ian Chang that questioned the right of a parliamentary Opposition to cut budgetary estimates of expenditure, as distinct from withholding support in the passage of an annual budget.

For his part, the Finance Minister remains cool and stoic in the performance of his duties. And, this past week he was differently pointing to areas of Guyana’s

continued social and economic progress that’s consistent with international criteria for measuring human development.

For example, in sharing a presentation ceremony with the Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Chisa Mikamai, Dr. Singh was quite pleased to observe that this country’s Human Development Index (HDI) for last year recorded “an unprecedented increase of 23.6 percent between 1980 and 2013.

The HDI is a summary measure for assessing longterm progress in three basic dimensions of human development, namely—a long and healthy life; access to knowledge and a decent standard of living.

In sharp contrast to negative claims by the Government’s parliamentary opponents, the Finance Minister

Guyana

has explained that Guyana’s record of performance was one of “steady improvement,” as verified by the UNDP’s latest report.

Of course, the parliamentary parties remain blind to the progress being chalked up by Guyana and prefer to indulge in negative factors and sow social and political divisions.

The litany of hurdles they have thrown up to Guyana’s progress, include major development projects, in addition to creating uncertainties by their refusal to cooperate on the passage of crucial legislation, such as the Anti-money Laundering and Countering Terrorism Bill.

We await further developments from the Speaker’s decision to refer the Finance Minister to the National Assembly’s Privileges Committee.

Religious leaders must break their silence ON July 24 the Baltimore Sun carried a commentary, which stated: “Gender violence causes more death and disability among women ages 15 to 44 in the U.S. than cancer, malaria, traffic accidents or war. Currently our military and universities are actively seeking solutions to prevent and respond to this violence within their respective institutions.” The reference was to the United States but the appeal is international and certainly relevant to Guyana. In fact, in Guyana, neither the military nor the university, are actually actively seeking solutions and thus this appeal must resonate with them as well.

For us in The Caribbean Voice, this appeal is critical because suicide is related to gender in a huge way. Oftentimes, females are murdered by their partners, who then commit suicide. Also, females are routinely abused by their partners, and this often leads to an escalation of violence as well as suicide.

The authors of the Baltimore Sun commentary Jim Wallis (president and founder of Sojourners), Amy Gopp (director of member relations and pastoral care at Church World Service) and Rick Santos (president and CEO of IMA World Health) reference a recently released report, Broken Silence: A Call for Churches to Speak Out, (http://www.imaworldhealth. org/images/stories/technical-publications/PastorsSurveyReport_final.pdf?utm_source=All+Registered+Users&utm_ campaign=98d5ccb2df-Baltimore_Sun_OpEd_Announcement7_24_2014&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ d5d59fc035-98d5ccb2df-158140993) based on a LifeWay Research survey of 1,000 U.S. Protestant pastors. The authors state: “According to the report, U.S. faith leaders seriously underestimate the prevalence of sexual and domestic violence experienced by people within their congregations. They also lack the tools to address it in constructive and helpful ways.

The good news is more than 8 in 10 said they would take appropriate action to reduce sexual and domestic violence if they had the training and resources to do so.”

As in the US, there is no doubt that faith leaders in Guyana also, “seriously underestimate the prevalence of sexual and

domestic violence experienced by people within their congregations” and “lack the tools to address it in constructive and helpful ways.” We do certainly hope that the vast majority, if not all, however, “would take appropriate action to reduce sexual and domestic violence if they have the training and resources to do so.”

So what can faith leaders do to reduce sexual and domestic violence? Here’s what Baltimore Sun says: First, they need to get a firmer grip on reality. Faith leaders need to fully understand that domestic and sexual violence occurs in all communities worldwide, including their own congregations. Ignoring this sin does not make it go away; it gives silent consent.

Second, faith leaders need to build relationships with the resources in their local communities that protect and support victims and survivors. A faith leader vocation is to nurture faith and support a victim’s spiritual well-being, but his or her physical or emotional well-being should be guided by professionals trained in domestic and sexual violence.

Third, faith leaders need to seek out domestic and sexual violence training. Training is indeed critical because a little knowledge in this area can be more dangerous than no knowledge at all. In fact, research has indicated that abused women who seek help from untrained clergy typically find themselves in a worse situation than before.

The top priority in sexual and domestic violence should be to ensure the immediate safety of victims or potential victims. Though this is common knowledge among those in the health community, it may be countercultural for U.S. (and Guyana) clergy — especially those who hold firmly to values that view family matters as private, place a high priority on family “stability,” strictly prohibit divorce, practice “male headship” and submission of women, or who see untrained counselling as part of their pastoral duty. In keeping with these commonly held values, a large majority (62 percent) of pastors in our survey say they have responded to sexual or domestic violence by providing couples or marriage counsel-

ling — which the health community widely acknowledges as a potentially dangerous or even lethal response for a victim (as it, no doubt, also is in Guyana).

Finally, with a firm base of knowledge beneath them, faith leaders must speak out on sexual and domestic violence. Nearly two-thirds of pastors surveyed preach or speak once a year or less a about the issue. Ten percent never mention it at all.

Sexual and domestic violence inflicts deep emotional, physical, and spiritual harm on those who endure it. Because God calls us to love one another, to live in peace and to stand up for the oppressed, it is a moral imperative that pastors and other faith leaders speak out against sexual and domestic violence and that they are equipped with the proper tools, allies and devotion to address the issue.

In order to lead in this area, the faith community also needs to have a theological conversation. For only when people begin to believe that all people are created in God’s image will they begin to understand how acts of violence harm the dignity of other human beings.

Martin Luther King Jr. once said of another social injustice: “We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people.” Let’s break the silence.

soldier with the tools for either employment or entrepreneurial activity, or both if he or she so chooses.

The other aspect of the readjustment programme would be a partnership with both the public and private sectors to employ former military personnel. Years ago, in one of my articles on volunteerism, I made the suggestion that young people who take part in voluntary service should be given some form of accreditation which they could include in their resume for special consideration for employment – I believe the same basic principle is applicable to military service. The length of service and the training received can be used to form the criteria for a grading system which would afford ex-soldiers special preference when applying for jobs.

But why should so much focus be put on the military, particularly for a country that will not for the foreseeable future be engaged in any warfare? Why – some may argue – should soldiers be given special attention when they’re not realistically ever going to have to fight, and that’s what soldiers are supposed to do, right?

My view is that military service has a certain sacrosanct character – whether or not we use our military to fight in the defence of our country, the preparedness of the men and women who make that commitment in the first place, both in terms of whatever oath they take, and by virtue of the crush and rigorous training they undergo towards that commitment, make them worth special consideration.

PNCR’S CRUCIAL LEADERSHIP CHOICE -amid widening disunity Granger hopes to triumph

Analysis by Rickey Singh HAVING SECURED the leadership of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) by a slim majority of 15 votes at the party’s 17th biennial congress in 2011, the incumbent, David Granger, is now facing a more organised challenge to prevent him retaining the coveted top post amid speculations of likely snap general elections later this year.

In party politics, normally full of surprises, all things are possible, however questionable at times. So, ahead of today’s final round for delegates voting for office holders at the party’s 18th biennial congress, there came a surprisingly strange call from the governing People’s Progressive Party (PPP) to dump Granger’s leadership.

It was surprising enough that elements within the PNCR’s decision-making structures, (as determined at the 17th biennial congress) should be so displeased with Granger’s firsttime leadership to be anxious to now replace him—as well as the party’s chairman, Basil Williams.

A first-term leadership challenge in the PNC is unprecedented.

Therefore, for the PPP-the nation’s oldest and most experienced party-to become unnecessarily involved in stirring the boiling political pot for replacement of Granger-who will be David Granger 70 years old come July 2015, is quite puzzling for this columnist.

Granger, a retired Brigadier of the Guyana Defence Force and reputed scion of the party’s founder-leader, late President Forbes Burnham, is otherwise also recalled as a political historian and former journalist. We once worked together in the field of newspaper journalism before his recruitment into the GDF. The current inner-party politicking to scuttle his leadership has emerged at a period when the Government and the parliamentary Opposition coalition-led by the PNCR and including the minority Alliance For Change (AFC)—continue to be locked in fierce clashes on the modalities of governance.

The ongoing confrontation is primarily focused on what President Ramotar has labelled as “a devious, concerted political campaign to sabotage Guyana’s economic progress and stir disunity…”

Having won the leadership prize in a fierce contest against former Finance Minister Carl Greenidge, Granger went on to lead a coalition of Opposition parties under the umbrella political entity known as “A Partnership for National Unity” (APNU). Its array of small parties include the better known Working People’s Alliance (WPA).

ANTI-GRANGER ALLIANCE The current orchestrated move, from within ranks of the PNCR, to displace both Granger and Williams–amid allegations of plans to “rig the elections,” include publicityprone elements from the normally militant Region 10 constituency.

in its eating.

CLIVE THOMAS’S NOD And I am inclined to believe that whatever substance there may be to Norton’s boast and criticisms of Granger’s leadership, I would, nevertheless, bet on the ex-GDF Brigadier retaining his position to lead the PNCR into coming national elections—either this year or in 2015.

The much respected economist, Dr. Clive Thomas, himself a frontline activist of the minority WPA, was quite forthcoming in endorsing Granger’s leadership, while expressing his own disappointment over APNU’s apparent shortcomings to influence the PPP in the pursuit of national unity objectives.

Granger should take heed. I assume that he too is aware of Dr. Thomas’s established commitment—along with that of the assassinated Dr. Walter Rodney and the late President Dr. Cheddi Jagan—on national unity for national progress.

Meanwhile, the PNCR’s long-serving General Secretary, Oscar Clarke, has been angrily rejecting allegations of moves to rig the elections of office bearers via registration of congress delegates. He has assured that all appropriate arrangements are in place for today’s elections for the 18th biennial congress, the formal opening of which took place on Friday.

Undoubtedly, the more significant surprise in the lead up to the start of this congress was the ruling PPP’s unusual open call for the PNCR’s delegates to “vote out David Granger as leader.”

Aubrey Norton Sharma Solomon PPP’S SWIPE The PPP has claimed that “with so much of failure as This constituency includes the bauxite mining town of Linden—a traditional PNC stronghold. Among the advocates leader, and so little charisma and appeal, Granger’s chances for “leadership changes” is the Region 10 current chairman, of retaining the leadership are far from secure…”

But at the time of writing, and amid pre-elections jostling Sharma Solomon. He too was nominated for both leadership and chairmanship but subsequently disclosed his preference and tension, Granger remained optimistic for victory.

Given the continuing bizarre politicking of the minority for the latter post.

Alliance For Change (AFC)-from which new, constructive Among the other leadership challengers is the party’s ideas are woefully lacking-it seems better to hope for a former controversial General Secretary, Aubrey Norton. He has been a consistent critic of Granger and hardly viewed- new-style leadership from Granger, with his preference for outside of his immediate political circles, as a unifying force consultation rather than confrontation.

Since this is also the known preference by President of national dimension.

Donald Ramotar—despite his party’s surprising antiThough less effective than the economist, Carl Greenidge, who Granger had defeated for the leadership at the 17th Granger statement-there is, therefore, cause for hope congress, Norton is claiming robust support among the party’s rather than despair for the politics of consultation and so-called “grassroot” members. The proof of the pudding lies national unity.

Project Management Unit of the EU-funded Agricultural Policy Programme launches website

By Clifford Stanley THE Project Management Unit (PMU) of the European Union-funded Agricultural Policy Programme for CARIFORUM countries has established a website which aims at updating visitors on the progress of the project.

The website for the project, which aims at promoting development of smallholder agriculture in the Caribbean, is named www. appcariforum. net.

Manager of the Project Management Unit (PMU) for the Programme, Mr. Robert

Best, said the new website reflects the project’s mandate to provide members of the public with easy access to information about the project.

The APP is funded under the 10th European Development Fund (EDF), and is executed through a Contribution Agreement signed between the European Commission (EC) and the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA)‚ with implementing partners being Caribbean Agriculture Research and Development Institute (CARDI) and the CARICOM Secretariat.

The countries which will benefit include

Guyana, Antigua and Barbuda; The Bahamas; Barbados; Belize; the Commonwealth of Dominica; The Dominican Republic; Grenada; Haiti; Jamaica; St. Kitts and Nevis; Saint Lucia; St Vincent and The Grenadines; Suriname; and Trinidad and Tobago.

The end beneficiaries at the grassroots level are, among others, small farmers; fisher-folk; small-scale processors and traders, including organised associations and networks; and women and youth.

Launched in Guyana in March last year, the project involves the expenditure of 8.6 million Euros over a period of four years.

The site explains and provides information on the three inter-related components of the project, designed to enhance capabilities of regional agriculture to eradicate poverty.

The site boasts a contemporary design with easy navigation to content, including pictures of beneficiaries in action, a background and overview of the project, background on the implementing agencies and their responsibilities, and media releases and updates.

The PMU is based at the IICA Office in Trinidad.

‘The U.S. should wake up & smell the coffee of a new dispensation” THE Guyana Government recently rejected the USAID-funded $300 million democracy project because of the U.S. Government’s possibly limited consultation with the Donald Ramotar Administration.

And notwithstanding the Guyana Government’s stance on this matter, the U.S. Embassy subsequently declared that it will proceed with the project. The U.S. democracy project is couched within the framework of the U.S. Foreign and Defence policy of overseas statebuilding activities geared toward failing countries.

Perhaps, the U.S. Government perceives Guyana as a failing country. Let me explain further.

The Cold War is over. Yet the U.S. today remains wedded to Cold War sentiments that encourage the belief that weak and failing countries pose a danger to the U.S.; these dangers include terrorism, regional chaos, crime, disease, and environmental hazards (1). Within

around 1994 with the CIA funding of a state-failure agency, the Presidential Decision Directive 56, and then the 9/11 catastrophe encouraged a sharper radar on failing states (1). We see such U.S. efforts at state building in Iraq and Afghanistan. But after more than a decade and trillions of dollars spent, the U.S. has done little to stabilise Iraq and Afghanistan. In fact, the U.S. overseas state-building activities are now waning, as the U.S. fixation with failing states was more mania rather than any comprehensive foreign policy strategy (1).

The U.S. foreign and defence policy of stabilising failing countries through state-building activities is a failure in many parts of the world. Most recent examples of such failures are Afghanistan and Iraq.

Consistent failure as an outcome, indeed, is an improper model to emulate. So the report that the Ramotar Administration only had limited input in the USAID-funded $300 million democracy project as a state-building activity for Guyana should be of concern to the Guyana populace. Not having been afforded the opportunity to input the project is one thing and which certainly would raise a red flag. But the alarm bells must be constantly ringing as well when you consider that USAID would be a major force in this project. Consider Paul Collier’s comments on a USAID project in Africa: congressional commercial lobbies had some control over USAID, producing benefits to certain American exporters, and in that instance the benefits had nothing to do with African needs (2).

Commercial lobbyists’ attachment to and penetration of the U.S. Congress, USAID and other U.S. Government aid agencies cannot be discounted in their influence on the quality of outcomes for overseas countries. For instance, the influence of a large non-denominational Christian lobbying group Bread for the World (BFTW) on Congress for increased international funding for health. Around 1984, the United States House of Representatives’ (part of Congress) Select Committee on Hunger hired two BFTW members as staff (3). How objective and fair would these two staff members be in relation to advancing their former organisation’s cause when compared to furthering the overall terms of reference of the Select Committee on Hunger? What, if any congressional commercial lobbying interest drives the USAID-funded $300 million democracy project in Guyana? Under these circumstances, the Guyana Government may want to engage the U.S. authorities in a holistic discussion on the democracy project, if only to eliminate any conflict of interest and to ensure that the

Given this new political dispensation, the U.S. use of a failed state as a criterion for overseas state-building activities is totally false. It, therefore, should wake up and smell the coffee. There is a new brew, a new political dispensation awaiting the U.S. overseas!” this context, the U.S. believes there is good reason to develop a dominant national security narrative to address these concerns. This security narrative took the view that the U.S. had to stabilise failing countries through statebuilding activities; these activities gained momentum

Former U.S. Ambassador to Guyana Brent Hardt

project is related to Guyanese needs.

It is possible, too, that the USAID sees Guyana as a failing state vis-à-vis its state-building democracy project.

Should that be the case, then the premise for the project is wrong because the concept of a ‘failed state’ points to the presence of many problems, where all are to be resolved by one huge solution; the ‘failed state’ concept is wrong because these many problems realistically would require tailor-made solutions and not ‘the one size fits all’ approach (4).

As a resource-constrained society, Guyana needs international developmental assistance, but where that assistance clearly outlines considerations compatible with the needs and interests of the society. The Cold War is over. And so the former U.S. state-building activities in failing overseas countries to expand its regional geopolitical significance, in order to shore up its own national security interests, is no longer an acceptable dispensation. Given this new political dispensation, the U.S. use of a failed state as a criterion for overseas state-building activities is totally false. It, therefore, should wake up and smell the coffee. There is a new brew, a new political dispensation awaiting the U.S. overseas!

Ashni on UG Increase

Cabinet reviewing concerns of UG increased tuition fees

By Vanessa Narine THE increase in tuition for students of the University of Guyana (UG) will place an additional demand on the Government of Guyana’s UG Student Loan Fund and several students have expressed concern over whether they will be able to access the increased amounts.

However, Minister of Finance, Dr. Ashni Singh, has assured that the matter is being addressed by Cabinet.

compliance….the repayment of student loans is equally attracting the attention of the Cabinet.”

Last month, he addressed this matter and stated that alternative courses of action to encourage greater levels of repayment will be taken in the coming months.

“This is something that we recognise in Government and I believe that corrective action has to be taken to achieve higher level of compliance and a higher level of repayment,” the Finance Minister stated.

Dr. Singh noted then that the repayment of the loans, which attract a “very low” interest rate, is very poor, with millions owed by students who were beneficiaries.

BUDGET CUTS

Minister of Finance, Dr. Ashni Singh

“I learnt of the decision on Wednesday, but I can assure that the matter of the increased tuition is engaging the attention of the Cabinet and we will need to reflect on the fullness of its implications…a menu of measures is being considered, but no decisions have been taken as yet,” he said in an invited comment.

The University of Guyana's Administrative Council on Tuesday unanimously voted for the current tuition fees to be increased for the 20142015 academic year, which starts in September. The adjusted fee applies to both new and continuing students who are pursing programmes.

A significant percentage of UG students access financial support through the UG Loan Fund, which is a revolving fund that receives an annual injection from Government, from which disbursements are made, and are refinanced by repayments from students, as well as the continued annual support of Government.

An additional challenge is the fact that the total allocation of $450M was chopped from the National Budget by the combined Opposition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC) in a parliamentary vote.

Since then, only half of the monies have been restored by the Finance Minister – a move that has seen him referred to the Parliamentary Privileges Committee.

The combined Opposition contends that spending authorised by Dr. Singh, including the $225M for the UG loan fund, were “unconstitutional” given that the monies restored were not approved by the combined Opposition.

Prior to the restoration of the sums, the ViceChancellor of the University of Guyana, Professor Jacob Opadeyi, in an interview, had noted that if the loan subvention for the University of Guyana is not restored by the National Assembly then the students would be placed in a dire situation as a result of the severe crisis being ensued at the tertiary institution if the decision to cut the subvention was not reversed.

However, the two parties maintain that the allocation for UG was linked to other provisions for which they were opposed and, given the ruling by Acting Chief Justice, Ian

REPAYMENT CONCERNS According to the Finance Minister, the compliance as it relates to repayments by students who would have benefited from financial support is less than desirable.

Dr. Singh said: “As we confront the issue of adjustment of tuition fee and going forward how we evolve the Student Loan Fund; at the same time we are also weighing the various dimensions that are involved in relation to non-

Chang that individual line items could not be cut from the Budget, the entire sum, which included the student loan monies was removed.

The Government, in turn, has underscored the fact that the National Budget is presented in the same format it has been for several years now and no allocations are linked, as is being claimed by the Opposition, but

listed under the relevant section in the estimates as per normal.

The student loan allocation was listed under the Ministry of Finance’s Policy and Administration capital budget. Over the years, a vast majority of the student population at the country’s premier tertiary institution has benefited from such loans and a large percentage of prospective and current undergraduates depend on them.

NEW FEE STRUCTURE Continuing Guyanese students will pay an incremented increase beginning with $130,000 in 2014, $145,000 in 2015 and $160,000 in 2016, in addition to the $50,000 Facilities Fee, which replaces the various miscellaneous fees, previously

However, students pursuing these programmes will be required to pay the Facilities Fee. New students (Guyanese) are required to pay $210,000, inclusive of the Facilities Fee for most programmes, except for those listed above.

While the fees for foreign students have not been adjusted, they will be required to pay the US$ 250 facilities fees instead of the various miscellaneous fees, which were previously paid The application of the new fees was determined following a series of consultations held with current students and other stakeholders in June 2014.

Responding to Granger’s ‘Ramotarian’ autocracy claim…

President Ramotar says ‘he is turning the argument around’

By Vanessa Narine PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar yesterday smirked when asked to re s p o n d t o L e a d e r o f the main Opposition, Brigadier (rtd.) David Granger who described the current administration as a ‘Ramotarian’ autocracy and not a true democracy.

Granger, at the People’s National Congress/Reform (PNCR) 18th Biennial Congress, which opened on Friday said: “The PPP/C (People’s Progressive Party/ Civic), rather than pursue a consensual policy of inclusionary democracy and cooperation with the Opposition as prescribed in the Constitution, adopted a posture of confrontation.”

“The governance crisis has been aggravated by

the PPP/C’s reluctance to acknowledge its minority status in the National Assembly and to join the majority in the movement towards establishing a Government of national unity”.

“Progress has been impeded by the Central Government’s authoritarian attitude…this is not democracy at all. It is autocracy. It is a ‘Ramotarian’ autocracy.”

The main Opposition Leader was at the time addressing the PNCR’s push for a “one-nation” approach to governance.

Pointing out that Mr. Granger was speaking to his party base; the Head of State dismissed these statements as not being grounded in fact.

“He is turning the argument around…it is the other way around…

the Opposition Leader was speaking to a crowd of supporters and he is obviously trying to pump them up, but he is not correct in what he is saying,” Mr. Ramotar said at a news conference held at State House.

“We are not the ones that have been spurning the opportunities for dialogue,” he posited.

The President reiterated that the notion that his Government operates in an authoritarian manner is one that is far from the truth. “ To s a y t h a t w e have been acting in an authoritarian way is very far from the truth. I don’t know how anyone living in this country can say that. One would have to be extremely biased to say something like that, but like I said Mr. Granger was speaking to a partisan c ro w d , ” M r.

BRICS Development Bank will complement not replace World Bank, IMF – President Ramotar

By Derwayne Wills FOLLOWING the recently concluded BRICS Fortaleza Summit in Brazil J u l y 1 5 - 1 6 , P re s i d e n t Donald Ramotar has disclosed, that while the BRICS Development Bank was conceptualised this initiative reflects the introduction of more options for international funding for Guyana, rather than an intention to sever ties with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Speaking at a press conference on Saturday at State House, the President cited the progress in the high-level meetings between the trading blocs of the Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) nations and the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR).

BRICS represent almost 3 billion people

in the world’s developing or newly industrialised countries, and has a combined nominal Gross Domestic Product of some U S $ 1 6 Tr i l l i o n a n d a n estimated US$4 Trillion in combined foreign reserves.

Guyana has been a member of the UNASUR trading bloc since its conceptualisation. The trading bloc comprises 12 of the 13 countries in South America.

According to him, the developments coming out of the summit “will have far reaching effects on the lives of [the] people of Latin America and the Caribbean.”

S u c h m a j o r accomplishments included the decision to establish the much needed development bank especially considering the claims made by some third world countries that the conditionality of IMF and World Bank loans are

interventionist in nature.

“This new bank will have an initial authorised capital of US$100B... and an initial subscribed capital of US$50B”, Mr. Ramotar said. He added: “I have no doubt that this bank will play an important complementary role to the other developmental banks that presently exist.”

It was noted in the Associated Press that the President Pro Tempore of UNASUR Desi Bouterse of Suriname, while expressing his support for the BRICS Development Bank stated that the forging of stronger ties with BRICS countries is a step forward for the Region in expanding South-South Cooperation.

The Surinamese Government had similarly hurled accusations against western governments for meddling in Suriname’s internal affairs. Guyana had similarly taken such a

position.

When questioned on whether Guyana would sever ties with western development banks for the BRICS bank, the President said that he does not see the BRICS bank as an alternative “but as being complementary” that it provides Guyana with more options for acquiring international financing.

While the concept of the BRICS bank has just taken flight, the Head of State remarked that the bank will “assist third world countries with infrastructural development.” He noted that the only concreteness of the idea is in the intention and commitment of industrialising nations that such a financial lending agency is needed.

“Let’s not jump the gun yet!” Ramotar cautioned.

M r.

Ramotar lamented that some Third World countries

have faced many challenges to financing important developmental projects; he registered his confidence in the BRICS bank stating, “The new bank was founded with the purpose of mobilising resources for infrastructure and sustainable development projects in BRICS and other emerging and developing countries.”

He further added that the financial institution will be welcomed by the developing world, since it will “add to the efforts of others to fight against poverty and underdevelopment.”

The President stated that bilateral discussions has seen Guyana sitting in talks with the President of China and the Prime Minister of India, where satisfaction was expressed on current bilateral cooperation with the respective nations.

This was followed by

the possibility of examining the playing field for future cooperation and similar t y p e s o f a c t i o n s , M r.

Ramotar conclusively noted.

“I think that the visit to Brazil can very well bring a lot of benefits to our Region and to other countries as well.”

The Summit was conducted under the theme: “Social Inclusion and Sustainable Development,” and stands as an unprecedented move to establish global economic ties between Guyana, other UNASUR nations and BRICS. Guyana has benefited immensely from closer bilateral relations with BRICS nations, especially China and India, and the summit will ensure that a stronger network of trade is established amidst qualms of neo-colonialism emerging from the western governments.

Parents urged to prepare three-year-olds for nursery school in September EFFECTIVE from the new school year, children will be admitted to nursery schools if they are three years old by June 30 of the year they are seeking entry. This announcement will, however, come with the requirement that parents work with their children to help the system to become successful.

A series of meetings currently being held in nursery schools around the country has seen Minister of Education, Ms. Priya Manickchand holding sessions with parents who will be taking advantage of the offer. The meetings are aimed at building partnerships with the parents and urging them to do their part.

The most recent meeting at the Sophia Nursery School on

Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand speaking to parents at the Sophia Nursery School

Friday saw parents agreeing that their work with their children would be advantageous. They agreed with Ms. Manickchand that the desire for their children to pursue a better life than theirs could be achieved through education, beginning at the nursery level.

She pointed to the problems that most parents face, urging them to ensure that their children benefit and become better and enjoy a better life than their parents. “You have a duty to consciously live to give these children a better life than you ever had,” Minister Manickchand pointed out to them. She pointed out that the Ministry of Education is giving parents the facilities to enable this to happen, and the only thing that is being asked is the support of parents.

The Minister explained to the parents the need for the little ones to be potty trained and to be able to eat independently.

Being able to do this, she stated would not detract from teachers having to attend to those who do not know how, thus taking away valuable teaching time.

“Everybody’s child will benefit if you all spend the six weeks remaining teaching your child to use the toilet and teaching them to eat,” Manickchand noted. She pointed out that many parents who have not yet begun to do these things will place their children at a disadvantage.

Parents were also made aware of an assessment which would be conducted on their children in order to gauge their standard of learning.

Manickchand pointed out that the intention is, that by the time the students have reached the level of Grade Four, they should be able to read and comprehend. (GINA)

Vanessa Kissoon accredited as Congress delegate

-following protest action, PNCR-Linden advocacy

By Vanessa Narine REGION 10 (Upper Demerara/Upper Berbice) representative, People’s National Congress/Reform (PNCR) stalwart and A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Member of Parliament (MP), Ms. Vanessa Kissoon, has been accredited delegate status for the PNCR’s 18th Biennial Congress.

K i s s o o n told the Guyana Chronicle that she was accredited yesterday and was able to attend day two of the threeday Congress.

She was suspended from the party following an alleged altercation with the party’s General Secretary, Mr. Oscar Clarke.

A disciplinary committee is reviewing her case, however, Kissoon did not attend the last meeting, which was held last Thursday. Also, the PNCR groups in Linden last Monday in a statement noted that it advised Kissoon not to attend the meeting.

The Guyana Chronicle was informed that the disciplinary committee has concluded its deliberations on Kissoon’s matter, but will

have to report to the CEC before its decision is made public. That decision, up to press time, was not released.

LAST-MINUTE ACCREDITATION Kissoon’s last minute accreditation followed representation from Mr. Sharma Solomon, member of PNCR’s Central Executive

Vanessa Kissoon Committee (CEC) and Congress Committee, who wrote to the party’s General Secretary, Mr. Oscar Clarke and stressed Kissoon’s entitlement to be accredited with ‘delegate status’.

In his letter, seen by this newspaper, Solomon said, “Consistent with Rule 15 (2) (d) of the Party Constitution, Ms. Vanessa Kissoon is entitled to delegate status at the 18th Biennial Congress

of the People’s National Congress Reform.”

A d d i t i o n a l l y, t h e opening of the Congress was marred by a protest, which saw Kissoon, Mr. Aubrey Norton-the contender for the PNCR leadership, and party supporters from Linden – a party stronghold – holding placards that stressed the principles on which the party was founded. The band of protestors were initially not allowed inside Congress Place, but were eventually allowed entry just before incumbent party leader, Brigadier (rtd.) David Granger delivered his address to a gathering of about 400 people.

Save for the small group, who accompanied Kissoon, there were no other representatives from Region 10 at Friday’s opening of the three-day Congress.

Yesterday, the issues to be addressed at the PNCR Congress included: the General Secretary’s r e p o r t f r o m M r. O s c a r Clarke and the report on the Constitutional Review Committee.

The much anticipated elections for key leadership posts will be held today.

The GGMC has also stepped up its geological work to assist miners in determining mineral resource estimates for the lands they have been given for gold mining.

The GGMC has acquired the services of an advisor who will lead the work in terms of strategic planning and implementation of exploration and geological programmes.

The GGMC has also focused on moving the large scale mining projects forward namely ETK Sandsprings, Guyana Goldfields and Troy Resources so that the investments they represent can be realised.

The Ministry has also been working on expediting work permits especially for non- nationals and on improving hinterland security which he said is a work in progress.

In terms of bringing down costs for the mining industry Government had facilitated a fuel importation licence for the Guyana Gold and Diamond Mining Association (GGDMA) which will enable the members to set up their own importation and distribution networks and so reduce costs by eliminating middlemen.

The GGMC and the Ministry is also currently considering duty free status for materials used in the gold mining industry.

He said that gold production at the moment reflects a 16% decrease on production during the same period last year.

He said that despite this, the mining community is optimistic that the additional support it is benefiting from will result in improved and increased production over the next few months.

American Spies in Germany: The End of Trust American spying even after Snowden’s revelations snapped quite dramatically, when she ordered the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency’s “chief of station” at the American embassy in Berlin to leave the country.

German media reports stressed that such drastic action had only been taken previously when dealing with “pariah states like North Korea or Iran.”

Clemens Binninger, the chair of the parliamentary committee that oversees the German intelligence service, explained that the action came in response to the U.S. “failure to cooperate on resolving various allegations, starting with the NSA and up to the latest incidents.”

The “latest incidents” were the arrest of two German citizens, accused of spying for the U.S. – whose key contact was the CIA station chief in Berlin.

The United States has never formally apologised for tapping Merkel’s phone.

It refused to give her access to the NSA file on her before she visited Washington in April. And it went on paying a spy who worked for the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND - Federal Intelligence

Service) right down to this month.

“One can only cry at the sight of so much stupidity,” said Finance M i n i s t e r Wo l f g a n g Schaeuble, insisting that the information given to the U.S. by the spies was of no real value. That’s probably true – yet the American controllers paid their spy in the BND almost $40,000 in cash for 218 secret German documents downloaded to computer memory sticks and handed over at secret locations in Austria.

Some of those secret

stop spying, even when they have been caught red-handed.

They only got away with such brazen behaviour for so long because the Germans naively trusted them. The spy from the BND, for example, simply sent the U.S. embassy an email asking if they were interested in “cooperation”.

The German authorities didn’t pick up on it because they didn’t monitor even the uncoded communications of a “friendly” embassy.

The spy was caught only when he got greedy and sent a similar email to the Russian embassy.

“We must focus more strongly on our so-called

BY GWYNNE DYER

The question to bear in mind, when reading this whole sorry tale, is this.

I f A m e r i c a n s a re , o n average, no stupider than Germans, then why are their intelligence services so stupid?

After the most recent revelations about American spying in Germany, there was considerable speculation among members of the Bundestag (parliament) that Germany might “get even” by inviting U.S. whistleblower Edward Snowden to leave his Moscow exile and come to Berlin instead. But last weekend Chancellor Angela Merkel, at her traditional pre-summer vacation press conference, rained all over that idea.

“We learned things (from Snowden) that we didn’t know before, and that’s always interesting,” she said – but “granting asylum isn’t an act of gratitude.”

Given that one of the things she learned from Snowden was that the U.S. National Security Agency was bugging her mobile phone, this showed admirable restraint on her part, but even Merkel’s restraint only goes so far.

Only a week before, her patience with persistent

The American spy agencies simply don’t know how to

of Chancellor Merkel’s Christian Democratic Party, and one of the first consequences will be the cancellation of Germany’s “no-spy” agreement with the United States. In future, U.S. activities in Germany will be closely monitored by the German intelligence services.

What is clear from all

this is that the American intelligence agencies are completely out of control.

They are so powerful that even after the revelations of massive abuse in the past year very few politicians in Washington dare to support radical cuts in their budgets or the scope of their operations.

They collect preposterous amounts of irrelevant information, alienating friends and allies and abusing the civil rights of their own citizens in the process.

The German intelligence agency (there’s only one) doesn’t behave like that. It chooses its targets carefully, it operates within the law, and it doesn’t spy on allies. Why the big difference?

I t ’s b e c a u s e t h e annual budget of the Bundesnachrichtendienst is just under $1 billion, and it employs only 6,000 people. The United States has only five times as many people as Germany, but its “intelligence community” includes seventeen agencies with a total budget of $80 billion dollars. There are 854,000 Americans with topsecret security clearances.

The American intelligence community grew fat and prospered through four decades of Cold War and two more decades of the “War on Terror”. It is now so big, so rich, so powerful that it can do practically anything it wants. And often it does stuff just because it can, even if it’s totally counterproductive.

-over 350 laptops distributed

THE One Laptop Per Family (OLPF) Programme is adding to its long list of recipients, hundreds more happy and grateful people, as it continues another phase of distribution.

On Thursday, staff of the OLPF Secretariat visited Golden Grove, Haslington, Hope and Mahaica in Region 4 (Demerara/ Mahaica), where together over 350 laptops were distributed.

Golden Grove and Haslington received 90 laptops, distributed at the Golden Grove Grove-Nabaclis-Haslington Community Centre, while 150 were given out at the Hope Secondary School. At Mahaica, more than 100 of the devices were presented to residents.

A student of the Hope Secondary, Amar Madhu commended Government for such an initiative, highlighting that it will enhance his work in school now that he has a

computer to do research.

Father of two, Jaikaran Rambali pointed out that the OLPF

programme has been a great venture by Government which will be of immense importance to school children since they are the main beneficiaries.

Olivia, a mother of one, pointed out that this initiative has helped many families, especially those who cannot afford to purchase a laptop.

Residents of West Berbice are expected to receive their

laptops at various sites on July 28.

The OLPF distribution programme has been ongoing since October 2011 and will continue throughout 2014 and 2015. Overall 90,000 laptops are to be in the hands of Guyanese at the end of the programme.

This current phase of distribution is expected to conclude in September.(GINA)

GuySuCo Board to be announced this week – President Ramotar THE names of the individuals to sit on the new Board of Directors for the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GUYSUCO) will be announced this week, President Donald Ramotar disclosed at a press conference that was held at State House yesterday.

The last word on the appointment was that two of the nine persons identified still have to confirm their

willingness to serve on the Board before the official announcement is made.

The life of the existing board was extended by six months to June 30 and the new Board’s appointment was scheduled to come on stream from July 1.

Under new management GuySuCo is expected to lead accelerated progress to ensure the industry’s turnaround.

The sugar industry

is projected to record an improvement of 15.6 percent in output to 215,910 tonnes in 2014 and a whopping $6B has been allocated to the sector in the 2014 Budget, given the industry’s important role in national development.

Among the measures to be undertaken to ensure a turnaround of the industry, which the allocation addresses, are: increased production and lower cost

of production; diversified target markets, and expansion of value-added production.

In 2013, sugar exports accounted for 8.3 percent of total exports valued at US$112.2M and the

industry contributed 3.9 percent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). (Vanessa Narine)

Chairman of CARICOM Reparations Commission addresses British House of Commons CHAIRMAN of the CARICOM Reparations Commission, Professor Sir Hilary Beckles, in a presentation to the British House of Commons on 16 July 2014, expressed the view that the reparations process will bring honour and dignity to the people of the Caribbean as well as the people of Great Britain and Europe. He also predicted that “this 21st Century will be the century of global reparatory justice.”

The Chairman of the Commission outlined the injustices of slavery and the genocide that occurred as a result of European expansion and stated that the Government of Great Britain and other European Governments that benefited from slavery and colonialism “have a case to answer to in respect of reparatory justice.”

Sir Hilary asked the government to respond with humility and openness when

Professor Hilary Beckles they receive a request for dialogue on the issue of reparations from Caribbean Governments. He further urged the Parliament to take

decisive action to correct “the terrible wrongs of the past.”

In discussing the legacy of slavery and colonial rule, Sir Hilary said the CARICOM Governments “these past 50 years have been cleaning up the mess left behind by Britain’s colonial legacy.” He said Britain and its Parliament could not morally and legally turn their back upon this past and walk away from the mess they have left behind.

“This Parliament has to return to the scene of its crimes, and participate as a legitimate parliament, as a legal parliament, in the healing and rehabilitation of the Caribbean,” Sir Hillary said.

“May the values and the spirit of development, cooperation and mutual respect guide us all,” he concluded, to a standing

ovation from the Parliament.

The issue of Reparations has been high on the agenda for the CARICOM Heads of Government. During a press conference following their Inter-sessional meeting in March this year, then Chairman, Hon. Dr. Ralph Gonsalves, Prime Minister of St. Vincent and The Grenadines, announced that that the Caribbean Reparatory Justice

Programme (CRJP) was accepted by the CARICOM Heads of Government as a basis for discussions on reparations. The CRJP is part of a strategic and operational plan prepared by the Regional Reparations Commission consisting of ten points that need to be addressed.

At the recently concluded Thirty-Fifth C o n f e re n c e o f H e a d s of Government, held in

Antigua and Barbuda 1-4 July 2014, the CARICOM Heads agreed to dispatch a Draft Notice of Complaint under cover of a letter from the Chair of the Prime Ministerial Sub-Committee (PMSC) on Reparations, the Rt. Hon. Freundel Stuart, Prime Minister of Barbados, to the relevant European Governments, with a request that a Conference be held on the issue.

Convicted rapist Talbert Mc Pherson gets 25-year sentence

By Jeune Bailey Van-Keric CONVICTED rapist Ta l b e r t M c P h e r s o n was sentenced by Justice Navindra Singh to 25 years imprisonment after he was found guilty of raping an eight-year-old girl, as she lay on a mattress at her great grandmother’s house, Number 30 Village, West Coast Berbice.

Meanwhile, as the court was awaiting the jury’s verdict the convict in a bid to seek help from Supreme Beings, took the opportunity to sing the famous hymn: “At the cross, at the cross, where I first saw the light and the burdens of my heart rolled away” and when it seemed as though that song did not bring him much comfort, he opted to resonate another old melody: “I surrender all,” before bowing his eyes in the Holy Bible, and turning a few pages thereafter.

But shortly afterwards, the unanimous verdict was out, the ten males on the jury panel, agreed with their two female peers that Mc Pherson was guilty.

Questioned by the judge, as to what he had to say prior to receiving his sentence.

Mc Pherson replied: “Sir, with all due respect, if I had taken the life of the girl, where would I have been today. I walked away. I did not do it,” he concluded.

“What a strange statement,” retorted Justice Singh.

“Nevertheless, you have been convicted. I can’t find the words to describe a person who would do such an act to an eight-year-old girl, except to say that person is sick.”

“Is this your first contact with the law,” the Judge questioned.

But, the prisoner remained speechless, staring downwards instead of looking at the judge.

However, after waiting for a few seconds, and getting

no response from Talbert McPherson, Justice Singh remarked: “The sentence of this court is 25 years. You are sentenced to 25 years imprisonment.”

State prosecutor Ms. Renita Singh in presenting the facts, said the eight- yearold victim, lived with her mother, a brother, an aunt, and a cousin at Number 30 Village, West Coast Berbice.

The now convicted man is known to the virtual complainant, as he lived at the house which is occupied b y t h e m i n o r ’s g r e a t

Talbert McPherson grandmother and her aunt.

On August 12, 2009 the victim’s mother had left her and her brother at the elderly relatives’ home, as she [the mother] had to attend a wake.

After watching a movie on television, with her brother, cousins and great grandmother, they were ordered to go to sleep and she did so on a mattress which was placed on the ground.

Whilst sleeping, she awoke, being bitten by mosquitoes and it was then she saw a shadow enter the bedroom.

The light from the house shone into the bedroom and the victim was able to recognise Talbert Mc Pherson known as Tally as he entered the bedroom.

‘Tally’ knelt down on the mattress, took the pillow from under the VC’s face and

placed same at the back of her head.

At that time her brother was also on the mattress, h o w e v e r, s h e f o u n d i t difficult to breathe while the pillow was pressed on the back of her head.

‘Tally’ pulled down her underwear, pants, jersey and the sheet and then placed his penis into her vagina and her anus. As a result, she reached out to her brother who was lying nearby, but he [the brother] turned sleepily, and the rapist got off her and went outside.

The child said it was difficult for her to sleep again, as she was trembling in fear, as she did not know whether the rapist would return.

The following morning, after awaking her brother, they hurriedly left her great grandmother’s house, for that of her mother’s to whom she related the incident.

The matter was subsequently reported at the Fort Wellington Police Station and a medical examination conducted by Dr. Htay Win at the Fort Wellington Cottage Hospital confirmed that the child was sexually violated.

On August 18, 2009 at M anchester Village, Corentyne, Detective Constable Randy Hendricks c o n t a c t e d Ta l b e r t M c Pherson, who, when the allegation of rape was put to him, and after being cautioned, remained silent.

In an unsworn statement from the dock, Mc Pherson denied committing the act and raised the issue of alibi.

According to him, during the daylight hours of August 1, 2009 he was involved in an argument with a female relative of the victim. The argument stemmed from an accusation that he was getting married to another woman. Following the dispute, he left and did not return.

Police hunting for Trinidadian renting cars and illegally re-selling them

By Leroy Smith

SWIFT action and intelligence led police ranks in “D” Division last week to the recovery of three cars which were illegally sold by a Trinidadian who has been conning businessmen who operate car rental businesses.

The information first reached the Guyana Chronicle on Thursday when police sources confirmed that they are in search for the man who has been able to slip from their ‘radar’ each time.

Acting on reports and information by businessmen that their rented vehicles are not being returned to them by the Trinidadian whose name was given as Daniel Ali, searches for the vehicles were launched.

It would turn out that three of the vehicles which the man rented from three different car rental dealers were recovered along the West Coast Demerara.

When questioned, the persons in whose position the cars were found told investigators that the vehicles were sold to them by the very Daniel Ali. The Guyana Chronicle subsequently made contact with another car rental businessman who was unaware of the scheme and admitted that only Thursday he rented the same Trinidadian a car for

two days and the man called him to extend the rental but failed to show up with the money for the extension.

Contact was then made with the man who gave the businessman all sorts of excuses of why he cannot bring in the vehicle; this was in an effort by the businessman to set up a sting operation.

Ali however after suspecting that the police might be on to him and his scam and are trying to catch him, failed to report to the businessman as promised. He first stated that he was going to visit the man late on Friday night to make a payment but he never did.

However, when the Daniel Ali businessman awoke yesterday morning he found the car parked outside his yard with the keys thrown into the yard. Efforts to make contact with the Trin-

By Rebecca Ganesh-Ally THE Ministry of Public Works (MPW) has said that the emergency works underway to fix a one mile stretch of the Bartica/ Issano Road in Region 7 (Cuyuni/Mazaruni) is 25 percent completed.

MPW noted in a press statement sent to this publication that with regard to the project which commenced on July 14, 2014, the engineer overseeing the project, Mr. Lawrence Mentis; MPW’s hinterland engineer Mr. Naeem Mohamed; and its Maintenance Supervisor, Mr. Lloyd Rol-

works ongoing on the Bartica/Issano Road

lins, inspected the progress of the project on Thursday, July 23, 2014, and found it 25% completed.

Mentis related that “$25M approved in the Ministry’s 2014 budget is being utilised to carry out the rehabilitation works.

The Force Account Unit within the Ministry is executing the project.”

It was also noted that the most impassable section of the five-mile-long road is being fixed partly with concrete/asphalt and partly with coal mix, and that the MPW is seeking funding from Central Government to repair other sections of the heavily trafficked thoroughfare.

Mr. Keith Blair, Chairman of the Bartica Branch of the United Minibus Union, is quite pleased with the project. “The progress is encouraging,” he said.

“I speak for myself and the community (that) we are very happy with what is going on.”

Under the Hinterland Road Rehabilitation programme, the MPW has set aside $1.08B to repair roads countrywide.

The police are continuing their investigations into the matter and are very confident that they will be able to nab the man before he flees the country.

Persons who may have any information with respect to the man’s whereabouts or any other information that may lead to his capture are asked to contact the police on the following number or contact the nearest police station. 227-1152, 225-6411, 226-0869, 227-2272, 911 This story comes just two months after two young men were remanded to prison for the hijacking of a 17-year -old taxi driver who they later killed and were attempting to his vehicle.

The police working on information were able to crack the case wide open and also arrested a businessman from the West Coast Demerara who it was reported has been in the business of purchasing stolen cars and striping them for parts.

When the matter was sent to the Director of Public Prosecution for advice, she advised that the two men be charged with the capital offence and the businessman who is known to be involved in certain illegal acts, have all charges dropped against him and he be used as a state witness.

Plans moving apace for Jamzone Summer Break 2014 events

PLANS are moving apace for the hosting of yet another Jamzone Summer Break, one of the biggest calendar events for ‘the summer.’

This year, for the first time in Jamzone history, the Summer Break will be held in New York, and some of the biggest names in reggae, dancehall and soca are scheduled to perform at that event, slated for August 9 in Brooklyn, New York.

Jamzone fever would thereafter hit Guyana with the first event – the Miss Jamzone International Pageant – billed for August 15 at the National Cultural Centre.

At least 10 delegates are slated for head-on competition to win the US$10,000 prize

money and one-year bragging rights. The delegates include Miss Guyana, Soyini Fraser, who is confident that she has what it takes to cop the title. Other countries that are in the run for the title are Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, with both countries having won the crown over the past three years.

On August 16, all attention would be focused on the little ones at the Kids Zone, which will be held at the Everest Cricket Club Ground in Carifesta Avenue, on the northern outskirts of Georgetown.

As usual, there will be 3D shows, mixing and mingling with cartoon characters, face painting, and other activities to keep the youths

busy.

When the sun sets, Palm Court is the place to be for Brazilian Night, which would see local Brazilian bands steaming up the dance floor. The event is the second of its kind since the existence of Jamzone Summer Break; and from all indications, it will be a permanent addition to the calendar of events.

Be prepared to witness the stunts and rides on August 17 as Bikers Fest is held on the tarmac of the National Park. The event is expected to be clean fun, with thrills and spills for the entire family, and there will be special guest riders, among other international bikers, who will leave patrons breathless.

The Black Tie Auction

is set to invade the Pegasus Poolside on August 20. This event will see the delegates auction several pieces of items from their native country. This event draws some of the most elite personalities in showbiz and the entertainment industry.

All focus will then be placed on the Water Colour Party of August 22, to be held at a venue that would be announced later.

On the night of August 23, all roads would lead to Hits and Jams Water Park for the Regional Night Concert,

which will feature Alkaline and soca sensations Bunji Garlin and Fay Ann Lyons.

Other artistes are also expected to perform.

The final day of Jamzone Summer Break would feature the Beach Party, but it would definitely not be at Splashmin’s Fun Park and Resort, as had obtained in previous years.

The new venue will be the Hits and Jams Water Park, aback the Princess Hotel and Casino.

Fans, you simply can’t afford to miss out on any of the fun; so, see ya there!!

LABOURER Asgar Ally of Columbia village, Essequibo Coast recently sustained serious bites on his right leg by piranhas while cleaning an Aberdeen South drainage trench in that rice growing area.

Mr. Ally said that while he was in the trench cleaning and weeding the parapet he felt something grab his right leg, and that was followed by an acute and sustained pain.

He said he tried to get out of the trench as quickly as possible, but felt another painful bite on the same injured leg as he attempted to climb onto the parapet.

Ally said the pain was so intense that he cried out for help, and was assisted by his wife, who was there with him and who took him to the Columbia Health Centre, where he was treated before going to the Suddie Hospital.

And while on the dam, he saw that parts of the flesh on his right leg were missing, and blood was oozing from two wounds, thus, he realised that the dangerous piranhas had attacked him.

He said he was wearing a three-quarter length pants while cleaning the trench.

His right leg is currently bandaged.

The National Trust Children’s Awareness Programme is part of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport summer itinerary.

The National Trust works with the support of the Ministry in preserving and promoting monuments in Guyana.

Thirty youths in the 8-11 years’ age range participated in the awareness pro-

art. He also indicated that the Ministry is involved in youth camps in various communities, in which at least 6000 individuals are involved.

Dr. Anthony encouraged the youths of the Children’s Heritage Awareness Programme to participate in such programmes in order to protect Guyana’s intangible heritage. He stressed that participants of these programmes can serve as ambassadors of the heritage of Guyana, and he said that these programmes create a level of interest in the youths that they themselves would want to share to others the importance and values of Guyana’s heritage.

Chief Executive Officer of the National Trust, Ms. Nirvana Persaud, said that the

Activities in the programme included tours to monuments and heritage sites, as well as the mangrove restoration site. The participants also benefited from basic sessions in making models, anthropology and archeology.

The Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony, urged the participants of the Children’s Heritage Awareness Programme and the young generation to understand their integral role in the preservation of Guyana’s heritage and monuments.

Dr. Frank Anthony said the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport has been facilitating countrywide summer camps as one of its many initiatives aimed at empowering youth. He noted that, currently, at the Walter Roth Museum, there is an ongoing camp which equips the participants with basic knowledge in archaeology.

He said that the Ministry offers programmes through the Burrowes School of Art for students who are interested in

Trust was immensely pleased with the progress made by the Children’s Heritage Awareness Programme to date. More has been added to the programme; this year’s programme included a written quiz from which they evaluated the participants to gauge the effectiveness of the programme, she said.

She added that the programme also served to assist the youth in completing the Social Studies syllabus in their respective schools, which includes studies on monuments.

Persaud pointed out that the programme was free of charge and was open to the public for students between the ages of eight and 11 years. She commended the youths for making the programme part of their school break, and for staying its course.

Participants who successfully completed the programme were given certificates along with tokens and information packages.(Sandy Agasen)

BERBICE MATTERS WITH JEUNE BAILEY VANKERIC

SUNDAY CHRONICLE July 27, 2014

‘Uncle Roy’ remanded for alleged murder of GUYSUCO field foreman NINETEEN-YEAR-OLD Corentyne youth Vishal Michael Edwards, known as “Uncle Roy”, of Number 77 Village Housing Scheme, Corriverton and also of Lot 450 Church Street, Number 78 Village, Corriverton was remanded to prison Friday after he appeared before Whim Magistrate Rabindranauth Singh charged with the m u r d e r of Ravindranauth Tirkha, called ‘Engine,’ 52, of Lot 498 Block 16, Line Path Vishal Edwards C o r r i v e rton, Corentyne.

Edwards was not required to plead to the indictable charge, which detailed that

between July 14 and 15th, last at Number 78 Village, Corriverton, he murdered Ravindranauth Tirkha.

The case has been transferred before the Springlands Magistrate for an August 8 calling. During the investigation, Edwards is alleged to have confessed to strangling Tirka with a piece of cloth.

Tirka’s body was found on July 15 last at about 05:30hrs, lying face-down near a popular ‘backtrack’ route with blood ozing from his nostrils. His personal belongings, including cash, a gold band valued $200,000, his National Identification (ID) and Automated Teller Machine (ATM) cards were missing.

Investigations revealed that the GuySuCo foreman had earlier visited a bar at Springlands and had requested the bar attendant’s assistance in soliciting the services of a sex worker. Edwards allegedly colluded with the sex worker to lure Tirkha to the Springlands boat landing, where he was relieved of his valuables before being strangled.

A post-mortem revealed that Tirka died from manual strangulation.

Linepath Secondary MATTERS to add agriculture BERBICE WITH JEUNE BAILEY VANKERIC to its timetable THE Linepath Secondary School at Skeldon is now better equipped to have its students write Agricultural Science at the level of the Caribbean Secondary Examination Certificate (CSEC).

This is due to a partnership with the non-governmental organisations Food for the Poor [FFTP] Guyana Inc. and St Francis Community Developers (SFCD), which has resulted in the donation of a mechanical tiller and a water pump. At a simple handing-over ceremony, President of SFCD, Mr. Alex Foster, speaking at the organisation’s Headquarters at Port Mourant, said that as a result of collaboration between SFCD and FFP, it is expected that a model agricultural farm would be created.

Consequently, the Skeldon Linepath Secondary School is expected to be on site for the Upper Corentyne-based multipurpose farm.

“With the commitment from Skeldon Linepath Secondary, we hope that similar processes which are taking place at villages along the Corentyne Coastline, such as Limlair and Port Mourant, along with the Berbice township of New Amsterdam, a comparable project would be started in the Upper Corentyne area following the presentation of the mechanical tiller and a water pump.”

Three multipurpose farms are currently being developed in the East Berbice/Corentyne Region.

According to Foster, a farm is being developed at Limlair Village, which will attract students from Central Corentyne locations; another is to be built at Port Mourant for learning institutions within the Lower Corentyne district; and another in New Amsterdam for schools within the New Amsterdam/ East Canje district.

“By the next two months, the first phase of the project will be completed, resulting in a tilapia farm, a greenhouse and the shade house…,” he said.

Foster noted that the Line Path Secondary was chosen because it has the capacity, human resource and the land space to develop a multi-purpose farm.

The SFCD President expressed optimism that when the farm is developed, by the end of 2014, the following year can be a very transformative year for the Upper Corentyne area as it relates to students who are preparing for their examinations and also their livelihood.

“It is my privilege, on behalf of the Board of Directors, to be making a presentation to the Skeldon Linepath Secondary, which will help to enhance the developmental trust at the school and to assist the school with their agricultural practical, owing to the fact that the school lies in a community that is mainly agricultural in nature.”

He said the FFP can develop in the young minds a love for agriculture, because it would lead to enhanced skills and thus an improved standard of living for all.

In thanking FFP, Head of the school, Yvett Johnson, said she was elated to be the recipient of the agricultural equipment.

“This donation will greatly help us to enhance agriculture in our school, especially the practical aspect of the subject,” she said, as she vowed to care the equipment.

Education Officer (Secondary) Mr. Claude Johnson, speaking at the same function, noted that agriculture science is one of the major programmes in the school system. “Agriculture should be put on the front burner; and the fact that we can have schools being recipients of this kind of support is really a step in the right direction,” he said.

The Skeldon Line Path Secondary, which months ago had attracted a low entrance score at the National Grade Six Examinations, has been

upgraded to Grade A status following its exceptional performance at the 2013-released Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate Examinations.

Region 6 top CSEC performers [2013], Kelvin Tekram and his best friend Kishan Ramesh, both of Skeldon Line Path Secondary School, had each achieved twelve Grade Ones and two Grade Twos.

Earlier, Headmistress Yvette Johnson had reported that 117 students had amassed an overall 74.8% passes in Grades One to Three, while 63.2% and 50.4% received passes in English Language and Mathematics respectively.

However, Agriculture Science was never on the school’s curriculum.

New Roc Builders promise dream homes at affordable

By Leroy Smith

THERE has been much talk about the quality of homes being built by individual contractors and some contracting firms.

Reportedly, some do not meet the expectations of home owners, and in some cases causes them a deeper financial dig than they had really bargained for.

Over the past week, the

Guyana Chronicle was introduced to New Roc Builders, designers of homes based on the specific requirements of the home owners. Where applicable, they give customers the option to choose

SUNDAY CHRONICLE July 27, 2014

from an already drafted lineup of homes which can be constructed by the company.

Headquartered in the United States of America, the company’s local operations are based in Lama Ave-

nue. Speaking with this publication, Ryan Salim, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Guyana operations, explained that the company decided to enter the local market after studies showed that Guyanese in general and new home owners in particular needed to have diversification with respect to the homes they build, while paying keen attention to the costs, even as value for money is maintained.

Salim said the company is committed to neat craftsmanship and superior satisfaction for each project it undertakes. He noted that the company acquires a sense of personal pride in seeing home owners express satisfaction with the end product they receive.

However, for this to be achieved, Ryan noted, the involved parties -- contractors, homeowners, suppliers and managers among others -- need to collaborate in the building process.

Salim pointed out that the team of experienced builders, designers, and engineers continuously endeavour to construct homes which exceed buyers’ expectations.

While the company is not into the business of purchasing and developing lands, Roc Builders is offering its services to persons who would have been allotted house lots by the Government of Guyana or by other legal means.

With clients and customers already owning the land they wish to build on, plans would be drafted as per request, or persons can choose from the model designs the company has to offer, and those would be constructed on the lands.

The working relationship between the company and home owners is one that offers customers/clients personal interaction and contact with the senior management of the company, as against the many red tape situations which are often associated with similar types of businesses, where agents act as liaison officers between the company and the customers.

Roc Builders Company, Salim said, ensures there is rigorous deliberation on the subject of available finance, needs, wishes and

expectations of potential homeowners before building commences.

Boasting of the already budding approaches and responses the company has been receiving through its website and Facebook pages, Salim emphasised that the budget of home owners is never overlooked, nor is the style or design a person may want to have for the budget at their disposal.

Materials to be used in the construction of homes would be imported from the United States of America, as this is often requested by homeowners. The costs attached to sourcing and importing materials are all factored into the prospective

This type

es luxury/ e prices SUNDAY CHRONICLE July 27, 2014

homeowner’s budget.

No compromise is tolerated in the area of building longevity, the company official assured, while pointing out that there is a pricing system for projects that yield the lowest pricing to clients without sacrificing the quality associated with the company.

In cases where homeowners are not able to constantly visit construction sites or have agents visit, New Roc Builders itself has imbedded in its operational manual construction schedules where home owners are constantly updated on the progress of works, and where requested or necessary images are forwarded for

perusal.

There will be, at all times, senior supervisors at each construction site.

Persons desirous of experiencing the services of New Roc Builders can visit the local office at 21-22 Lama Avenue, Bel Air Park Georgetown, Guyana. Telephone contact can be made with the offices locally or in the USA on 592-231-4015, 516-561-2589 respectively.

The company is also encouraging interested persons to visit its Facebook Page via https://www.facebook.com/newrocbuilders, Email address info@ newroccontracting.com or Websitewww.newrocbuilders.gy

Gardening 101

SUNDAY CHRONICLE July 27, 2014 COMPOSTING is the process of recycling our household waste such as vegetable & fruit scraps, grass clipping, newspaper and other waste to produce healthy, wholesome, organic fertilizer, which can be used to enhance the quality of soil in your garden or flower pots. This rich fertilizer can produce healthy fruits and vegetables and the most blooming and attractive flowers.

Composting is a simple and practical way, of doing our part to preserve the earth by reducing the use of artificial fertilizers; it also helps to reduce the amount of carbon emission expelled from vehicles used to transport goods from one place to another and waste to the landfill or dumpsite. It also helps in cutting down the cost that each household incurs every time they make a visit to the market.

So how do we reap the benefits of composting? Firstly we need to know how to compost so here are a few tips to help you save money and fortify yourselves, as you save the environment in the process.

Steps to composting The first step to composting is identifying the area which will be used to make the compost, having done so you must decide if you will compost in a pile or a container? This will be dependent on the amount of yard space available to you, if you live in an area with restricted space a container would be the better option for you. For those who have the available yard space a compost bin or two is a great Idea!!!!!

Fill your bin with a balanced mixture of ingredients

Mix dry brown and wet greens.

The two basic types of ingredients for making compost are those rich in carbon and those rich in nitrogen. Carbon-rich materials, or “dry browns,” include leaves, hay, and straw. Nitrogen-rich materials, or “wet greens,” include kitchen scraps and grass clippings; these work best when used sparsely and mixed in well so they don’t mat down

Strive for Size Build the pile at least 4 feet so materials will heat up and decompose quickly. (Your pile shouldn’t be too much bigger than that, or it will be hard to turn.) Unless you have this critical mass of materials, your compost pile can’t really get cooking. Check the pile a couple of days after it is built up—it should be hot in the middle, a sign that your microbial decomposers are working hard.

See page 27

SUNDAY CHRONICLE July 27, 2014

Gardening ...

From page 26

Add water as needed Make sure the pile stays moist, but not too wet. (It should feel like a damp sponge.) You may need to add water occasionally. Or, if the weather is very rainy, you may need to cover the pile with a tarp to keep it from becoming too soggy.

Turn your Pile Lastly, you should turn your compost at least once or twice a week to ensure that all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the pile and that air and sunlight is able to pass through the pile. Doing this helps to eliminate the smell which can develop and this also helps the pile to decompose faster. After all this work in about 6 months to a year depending upon the size of your compost you will have the most rich looking plant fertilizer and when your friends visit you’ll be sure to show off your green thumb!

Good luck in your gardening and remember the environment is everybody’s business, let’s help to preserve it.

BERBICE MATTERS WITH JEUNE BAILEY VANKERIC

Fugitive Samuel Fable recaptured

by Surinamese police AFTER being on the run for seven years, murder accused Samuel Fable, alias John Fable and John Simpson, of Fyrish and Alness Villages on the Corentyne, and of Angoy’s Avenue on the eastern fringes of New Amsterdam, appeared before New Amsterdam Magistrate Rhondel Weaver charged with escaping from lawful custody.

He was recaptured along the Anton Dragtenweg in Paramaribo in neighbouring Suriname on June 21 when officers of the Surinamese police SWAT team shot him in the leg after a confrontation in which he had resisted arrest.

The Guyanese national was being sought by the judicial authorities in Suriname for allegedly committing an armed robbery. The Suriname Police Force had issued a statement to the effect that FaSamuel ble, alias Sammy Griffith, was wanted in his native country Guyana.

Fable was not required to plead to the charge, instituted by Detective Constable Mohammad.

Particulars of the offence are that on February 15, 2007, while being in the lawful custody of Police Corporal 13312 Blair, Fable escaped from Blair’s custody.

On the day in question, Fable was among three prisoners who were being transported

from the Whim Magistrate’s Court when they escaped from the enclosed police vehicle at about 15:30hrs while in the vicinity of the New Amsterdam Technical Institute.

Fable had allegedly cut the lock from inside the vehicle, and jumped out of the van immediately after it had exited the Canje River Bridge. Cops pursuing Fable and his accomplices, Deryck Busjit and Gavin Balkissoon, were prevented from opening fire on the escapees because students were leaving a nearby primary school which had just dismissed classes.

The fugitives were briefly spotted in the neighbouring residential area of Nurseville, just east of the Canje Bridge, but thereafter they fled up the Canje Creek. Police had recovered their footwear and clothing along the bank of the Canje River.

Fable Apart from the newly instituted charge of escape from lawful custody, Fable faces the charge of murder committed on 27-year-old Gangaram Busjit at Liverpool, Corentyne.

Reports are that Busjit, a butcher, awoke during the early hours of a morning and went to an outhouse located a stone’s throw from his home, where he was subsequently shot several times.

The unrepresented Fable is to return to the New Amsterdam Court on August 4.

N/A Prison search unearths dope, dangerous weapons and electronic gadgetry A RECENT surprise search carried out by Criminal Investigation Department (CID) ranks and guards of the New Amsterdam Prison unearthed seventy grammes of cannabis sativa, numerous makeshift offensive weapons, and cell phones, ‘juckers’(improvised weapons) and

ziplock bags, amongst other prohibited items.

In recent times, similar searches had unearthed knives, cutlasses, and even acid concealed by inmates of the correctional facility situated at Penitentiary Walk in New Amsterdam, Berbice.

Bus driver charged with raping 14-year-old schoolgirl SCHOOL bus driver Collin Caesar, aged 48 years, appeared before New Amsterdam Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus, charged with raping a 14-yearold school girl.

He was not required to plead to the charge, but was ordered to post $175,000 bail, and to stay twenty feet from the complainant.

Moreover, he is to report to the station sergeant or a senior police officer at the Central Police Station once per fortnight.

The accused, a contracted bus driver, would transport students to and from schools in Berbice, leaving from his Lot 504 Fort Ordinance home in East Canje.

On May 20 last, at about 10:45hrs, teachers spotted the alleged victim exiting the bus the accused drives.

She was summoned to the staff room of her school and was questioned by teachers in relation to her lateness. They were informed that she had gone to a stationery store to complete her School-Based Assessment assignment. However, further enquiries led to the disclosure of a cellular phone in her possession which

had several text messages of a sexual nature coming from a particular number, which was later discovered to belong to the suspect.

After the victim’s mother was summoned, it was discovered that she had returned from school the previous day to find her parents not at home. She contacted her father and was instructed to stay at the suspect’s home. Having complied, she was in the company of the suspect’s wife when the suspect asked her to accompany him to fill water further in the street. There, he fondled her prior to engaging in penetrative sexual intercourse with her against her will.

Consequent to the revelation, a report was made to the Central Police Station, after which the girl was taken to the New Amsterdam Hospital, where a medical certificate supporting her claim was issued.

It was reported that the suspect had given the complainant the cellular phone which he allegedly used to send her text messages with sexual content.

The case is fixed for statements on August 8.

N/A Multilateral students seek transfer to attend Berbice High MORE than 100 students of the New Amsterdam Secondary School (Multilateral) are seeking to be transferred to the Berbice High School (BHS) because of their dissatisfaction with the ‘Multi’ teachers’ performances.

During the Region 6 Democratic Council (RDC) statutory meeting, Chairman of the Regional Education Committee, Mr. Zamal Hussain, told Regional Chairman Mr. David Armogan and the councillors that the Education Department has been ordered to deny the DAVID ARMOGAN students their request.

Armogan noted that if the parents of the students who attend ‘Multi’ should remove their children from that school, there soon may be no need for the school. “We cannot allow that,” he lamented.

At the same forum, Alliance For Change (AFC) Regional Councillor Ms. Donna Mathoo said that one of the reasons why parents want to move their children from that learning institution is because teachers are not doing what they are being paid to do.

“Teachers are not going to the classroom, despite sev-

eral appeals that have been made by regional official, including the Regional Education Committee,” she declared as she noted that administrative issues at ‘Multi’ result in a constant struggle between the principal and his deputy.

“It is so bad that they did not make a timetable for the students’ year-end test…. The children were given three tests per day without prior knowledge (of the subject they were to write).”

Armogan conceded that the rift between the senior staff may be the contributory factor. “Nevertheless”, he said, “we can’t allow that school to go down…. New Amsterdam Multilateral School is the number one school in Berbice, and a new school board will be appointed to address the concern.”

Armagon said the CXC results from ‘Multi’ have, over the past decade, equalled those of senior secondary

schools in the capital of Georgetown. The results have not been showing any decline, it is just a discipline problem, because when you look at the results, they are still number one,” he said.

Speaking further, Armogan said that the teachers are not pulling their weight, and that issue must be addressed with some degree of urgency.

He noted that, for the next school term, there could be a new administration at the school, and he further noted that the current board was recently charged with the responsibility of implementing ‘new measures.’

While he did not say what the measures were, he stressed that tough decisions will have to be taken.

“Whatever it takes to bring the school under control we will have to do!” he emphasised.

Armogan noted that whatever those decisions are, the administration will support them.

Meanwhile, other issues highlighted in the Regional Education Committee report were the vigilance of head teachers when distributing textbooks to students, and the necessity of having a police outpost in the Vryman’s Erven community.

Amazon Warriors steal win at death..

Beaton’s final over leaves Tridents stunned ..Dwayne Smith hits second ton in three matches A CPL record 148run second-wicket partnership between Dwayne Smith and Shoaib Malik was trumped by Ronsford Beaton’s spectacular final over to give the Guyana Amazon Warriors a sevenrun win over the Barbados Tridents at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, yesterday.

The Tridents seemed certain to overhaul a target of 174 thanks to Smith’s second century in three matches and entered the final over needing 11 to win with Smith on strike on 101 having already hit eight fours and six sixes.

(Scores: Guyana Amazon Warriors 173 for 5 (Simmons 64, Guptill 55*) beat BarbadosTridents 166 for 4 (Smith 104*) by seven runs Amazon Warriors captain Denesh Ramdin entrusted 21-year-old Beaton with defending those 11 runs and he did it with plenty to spare.

Fortune appeared to be shining on Smith and the

Tridents after Smith tried to slog a yorker only for the ball to deflect off his pads and knock into leg stump without dislodging the bails.

Beaton speared in three more yorkers to Smith that resulted in a two, a dot and a single to put Jonathan Carter on strike needing eight off the final two to win.

Beaton fired in a wide yorker to combat Carter’s premeditated scoop shot resulting in another dot ball to effectively seal the match with one ball remaining and put the icing on the cake with another dot off the final ball for good measure.

Despite plenty of wickets in hand for the Tridents, the foundation for the tight finish was laid in the 17th when the 148-run second-wicket partnership was broken after Malik was caught short trying to steal a single for Smith.

Lendl Simmons circled around and connected with a direct hit from backward

point to send Malik on his way for 50.

Five balls later, Beaton struck with a full inswinger to bowl Kieron Pollard for a duck and then finished the 18th by running out Jeevan Mendis off his own bowling.

Smith dug out a yorker and tried to scamper a single but Beaton charged down the pitch in his follow through and underhanded into the striker’s end stumps to leave 16 needed off 12 with six wickets in hand.

Krishmar Santokie conceded five singles in the 19th before Beaton’s final over sealed it for the Amazon Warriors as the Tridents ended on 166 for 4.

Earlier in the day, Simmons and Martin Guptill provided contrasting halfcenturies from the top of the order for the Amazon Warriors after being sent in to bat. The pair produced a record stand of their own by adding 103, the best firstwicket partnership in the

CPL and sixth best for any wicket.

Simmons fell on the final ball of the 12th over for 64, caught on the boundary attempting to slog Mendis’ legspin for his fifth six. Guptill dropped anchor afterward and let his fresh partners slog away around him.

Mohammad Hafeez was particularly effective, smacking two fours and three sixes to make 30 off 10 balls before he was dismissed by Pollard two balls into the 20th.

Guptill wound up carrying his bat as Guyana finished on 173 for 5 with Guptill unbeaten on 55 off 51 balls and his patience was vindicated by the end of the day.

The Amazon Warriors now sit on eight points alongside the Red Steel at the top of the CPL table while the Tridents fall back in a tie for third with the Tallawahs on six points.

Agricola and Herstelling battle to 3-3 draw AFTER a long break due to rain, football on the East Bank of Demerara made a welcome return, yesterday, with play in the CULT Under-17 league at the Grove Community Centre ground.

The lone game of the afternoon produced a thrilling draw between Agricola Red Triangle and Herstelling.

The opening game never materialised, Timehri Panthers who were down to face Kuru Kururu Warriors did not show up, handing the Warriors full points without breaking a sweat.

Both Agricola and Herstelling, featuring National Under-17 goalie Quazim Yusuf, just back from the Dominican Republic in their lineup, started cautiously but it was neighbors Agricola that eased into the lead with the game just four minutes old.

Nehemiah Gomes hit the ball past Yusuf which slowly hit the back of the nets. Herstelling though being the youngest club in the EBFA have shown great character ever since coming on the scene and again they stepped up to the plate.

Like he has done in the past at both the Under-17 and

senior levels, forward Seon Alfred upped the ante for his team and was the difference between losing and winning for Herstelling. Alfred blasted in all three goals for his side, the equaliser coming in the 22nd minute, on an assist from Ricky Debidyal.

With five minutes to the break, Agricola retook the lead through an Owen June effort. Neither side relented on being offensive minded much to the delight of their supporters.

As the game progressed, it looked more and more likely that Agricola were going to walk away with full points but the nippy Alfred who posed problems for the Agricola defence constantly, had different ideas.

He drew his team level yet again in the 74th minute the end result of another fine effort. And for the first time in the game, Herstelling took the lead via the penalty route, Alfred again doing the honours in the 76th minute.

Sensing now that they were in with a good chance of taking full points coming back twice, the Herstelling lads turned up the heat but Agricola returned in like

manner with the fans enjoying the end to end action.

With the game now 80 minutes old, Agricola were rewarded a penalty and they made no mistake to evened things up, Dakhamin Matthews burying the ball to the right of Yusuf to ensure that both teams share the spoils.

With the school season out, matches in this competition would be sched-

uled during the week.

Meanwhile, the Stag Beer senior League will resume today at the same venue with a double- header. Diamond United will open against Timehri Panthers with the feature attraction which is anticipated to be a thriller, between Agricola Red Triangle and Grove Hi Tech.

Perera gives Sri Lanka big lead despite Amla ton Off-spinner Dilruwan Perera takes career best five for 69 (REUTERS) - South Africa captain Hashim Amla remained unbeaten after his 22nd Test hundred but off-spinner Dilruwan Perera’s career best figures gave Sri Lanka a big first innings lead at the end of the third day of the second Test yesterday.

South Africa were dismissed for 282 in reply to Sri Lanka’s first innings total of 421. At stumps Sri Lanka were 11 without loss with Upul Tharanga on six and Kaushal Silva on five, with a lead of 150.

Amla put on a fine display of concentration and application as he fought hard to give his team a fighting chance of saving the test and preserving their 1-0 lead in the two-match series.

The stylish right-hander, who resumed on 46 on Saturday, batted through the South Africa innings to remain not out on 139, having batted for eight hours during which he faced 382 balls and hit 12 fours.

“It’s a great innings, every hundred he gets is of massive importance,” South Africa coach Russell Domingo told reporters.

“Whether he got a 50 or a 40 or a 100 has anything to do with his leadership or what it can do with his leadership because he’s done an outstanding job.

“He was very patient, he applied himself very well he

obviously got his strategy right.”

Amla was the only South African batsman to come to terms with the slow turning pitch as Sri Lankan spinners Perera and Rangana Herath proved a handful for the rest of them.

Domingo said South Africa faced a fight to save the game.

“140 is a substantial lead and Sri Lanka are obviously in a good position,” he said.

Hashim Amla registered his first Test ton against Sri Lanka in Colombo, on the 3rd day.

We would have liked to have got another 50 runs or so it would have been much more comfortable.”

Sri Lanka’s attempt to finish off the South African innings quickly was not helped by wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella’s missed stumping of Steyn on 19 when the batsman jumped out against Herath and missed the ball.

Steyn was eventually dismissed for 30 but by then he had eaten up valuable time which Sri Lanka can ill-afford if they are to win the test and draw the series.

Herath took Steyn’s wicket when the batsman holed out to Kumar Sangakkara at long off after spending 75 minutes and 71 balls in the middle.

The left-arm spinner also accounted for Imran Tahir (15) having him caught at wide mid-off to finish with figures of four for 71.

PERERA STRIKES Perera, who had been tormenting the batsmen with his guile and flight, picked up his second five-wicket haul of his career when he had Mornie Morkel caught at forward short leg for a duck to end the South African innings.

Amla, in his second test as captain, survived a dropped catch by Kaushal Silva at extra cover, seven runs short of his century

Dilruwan Perera picked up his second five-wicket haul. when he drove Suranga Lakmal in the air.

Perera also bowled Vernon Philander through the gate for nine. JP Duminy, who took 58 balls to score his three runs before being drawn outside his crease by Herath, was out stumped.

South Africa appeared intent on occupying the crease for as long as possible and Amla was helping them do just that with the second session producing just 71 in 29 overs.

In the morning, Perera struck twice in one over to dent South Africa’s hopes of getting close to Sri Lanka’s first innings total.

South Africa, who resumed on 98-3, went to lunch on 163 for five with a defiant Amla holding up one end as his team mates struggled to cope with the home spin attack.

Overnight pair Amla and AB de Villiers took South Africa to 143-3 in the first hour, adding 45 fairly untroubled runs, with the former completing his 28th test fifty off 140 balls.

The only alarming moments of the day up to that point came when De Villiers was struck on the helmet by a short delivery from Lakmal and then survived an appeal for a catch behind off the same bowler when he was on 30.

TV replays confirmed the ball had bounced before it reached the wicketkeeper but the introduction of Perera in the 17th over of the day dramatically changed the momentum of the innings.

Perera struck twice in his 19th over by getting rid of De Villiers for 37 and the dangerous Quinton de Kock for a duck.

De Villiers’ dismissal ended a stubborn fourthwicket partnership of 79 with Amla but De Kock lasted just two balls before he was

beaten by the flight and clean bowled by Perera.

“On this wicket, there wasn’t much of a turn from the end that I was bowling so I had to create angles and I started going round the wicket,” Perera said.

He added that South Africa had clearly been playing for a draw.

“We knew they’d play like that. Even yesterday, they did the same. They had to attack but they batted quite slowly on this wicket,” he said.

“According to the way they batted, we thought they were trying to go for a draw. Because of their approach to this game, we got a fair lead.”

Dominant Nibali set to be crowned in Paris

By Julien Pretot PERIGUEUX, France -(Reuters) - Having dominated on all terrains, Vincenzo Nibali is set to win the Tour de France after avoiding any late dramas yesterday in the penultimate stage, a 54-km time trial from Bergerac won

by Tony Martin.

Italian Nibali finished fourth in the stage, nearly two minutes slower than the dominant German - who clocked one hour six minutes 21 seconds - but will roll into Paris today with an overall lead of seven minutes 52 seconds.

Jean-Christophe Peraud climbed to second overall ahead of compatriot Thibaut Pinot and France are now

poised to have two riders on the podium for the first time since Laurent Fignon and Bernard Hinault finished first and second in 1984.

Nibali will become the sixth man to win all three grand tours barring a crash in Sunday’s processional final stage that ends on the Champs Elysees, and the first Italian to win the Tour de France since the late Marco Pantani in 1998.

“It was not an easy time trial, it required a lot of power,” said Astana rider Nibali who has won four stages and has worn the yellow jersey for most of the race since snatching it on the second day in Sheffield, England.

FDJ.fr rider Pinot, who will claim the white jersey for

the best under-25 rider ahead of compatriot Romain Bardet, is 8:24 off the pace.

“Near the end I was empty, the last 5-km felt really long,” said Pinot.

Peraud started the day third overall behind Pinot but was stronger against the clock than his young compatriot and managed to beat him despite suffering a puncture soon after the halfway point.

His AG2R-La Mondiale team mate Bardet also had a puncture 2-km from the line, losing fifth place overall to American Tejay van Garderen by two seconds.

TIRED VALVERDE Spain’s Alejandro Valverde, fourth in the race standings, was tired and never

threatened.

“The legs did not respond the way I expected,” said Movistar rider Valverde, the Spanish time trial champion.

“During the stage I knew the time differences and therefore I knew the podium was lost.”

Poland’s Rafal Majka, who claimed two mountain stages, is to take the polka dot jersey for the mountain classification while Slovakian Peter Sagan will easily claim the green jersey for the points classification.

Alessandro De Marchi of Italy was voted the most aggressive rider of the event by a panel of journalists and race officials while AG2R-La Mondiale will win the team

classification.

Nibali, who won the 2010 Tour of Spain and last year’s Giro d’Italia, has surrendered the yellow jersey for only one day since taking it in Sheffield.

Briton Chris Froome, the 2013 champion, crashed out on the fifth stage while Spain’s Alberto Contador, the 2007 and 2009 winner who had looked in ominous form coming into the race, also pulled out after an accident on the 10th leg.

Before Nibali, only Frenchmen Hinault and Jacques Anquetil, Italy’s Felice Gimondi, Belgian Eddy Merckx and Contador had won the Tour, the Giro and the Vuelta.

WICB Regional U-19 3-Day C’ships

Baldeo and Ramcharran bowl Windwards out for 139

By Calvin Roberts HOST Guyana, who were led by some discipline bowling from the spin pair of Balchand Baldeo and Shiraz Ramcharran, were in a commanding position at the end of the rain truncated first day of their second round West Indies Cricket Board Regional Under-19 three day encounter against the Windward Islands, at the Everest Cricket Club ground late yesterday.

After seeing the entire first session being abandoned due to seepage in some parts of the outfield, Guyana winning the toss and opting to field first, bowled out their opponents for 139 from 62.4 overs, led by Baldeo’s 4 for 29 and Ramcharran’s 2 for 33.

At the close of the extended day’s play, Guyana were 44 without loss with Shimron Hetmyer and Tagenarine Chanderpaul their not out batsmen on 26 and 17 respectively, as they trailed their opponents, who had earlier struggled to 63 for 5, by 95 runs heading into today’s penultimate day action.

Earlier in the contest, Gidron Pope started briskly with

boundaries off Kemo Paul (1 for 11) and debutant fast bowler Niall Smith, but the introduction of Baldeo in the sixth over of their innings, resulted in the fall of wickets rapidly for Windward Islands.

Pope was first to go, caught by Hetmyer at slip off Baldeo at 27 for 1 which soon became 32 for 3, following the quick demise of Tonis Simon (02) and Melvin Gordon (13), before Kersakie Jno-Lewis (12) and his skipper Roland Cato (11) pushed the score to 55, with the 50 coming from 23.3 overs.

Disaster struck for the visitors who had won their first round game against Trinidad and Tobago comfortably, when both Jno-Lewis and Cato were dismissed, with Chanderpaul taking a leaping catch at midwicket to remove Cato off Damion Waldron (1 for 8).

Anson Latchman (22) and innings topscorer Ryan John (27) added 40 valuable runs to push the score beyond the 100 run mark, with John hitting three fours and a six off Baldeo, while Latchman helped himself to two fours, with the 100 coming up from 38.5 overs.

(Photo by Adrian Narine) The tea break was taken at 103 for 6, following the dismissal of Latchman who got a thick outside edge from Baldeo into the waiting gloves of Kemol Savory-one of three catches for the diminutive wicketkeeper.

On the resumption of play, Guyana removed John, Doran Edward (07), Sherman Lewis (15) and Craig Phillip (00) to wrap up the innings off 62.4 overs, leaving Deron Hypolite unbeaten on 4.

In their reply, Hetmyer

and Chanderpaul, two of the home team’s most experienced batsmen, skipper Brian Sattaur the other, started positively rattling off boundaries off the bowling of Lewis and Phillip, even as Chanderpaul eased Hypolite down the ground for his third four in fading light, before play was stopped due to bad light at 17:42hrs.

Play is expected to commence at 0:900hrs today, to make up for the lost time yesterday.

Late wickets undermine Williams’ effort as T&T take honours GEORGETOWN, Guyana, (CMC) – A cluster of wickets before the close gave Trinidad & Tobago the upper hand over Barbados after their batting crumbled against the left-arm spin of Chad Williams in the Regional Under-19 Championship here yesterday.

Strapping, if not fearsome fast bowler Anderson Phillips grabbed two for 4 from five overs and left-arm spinner Justin Joseph snared two for 8 from six overs, as Barbados, replying to T&T’s first innings total of 199, crumbled to 21 for four at the close on the opening day of their second round match in the three-day competition.

Barbados captain Joshua Drakes was not out on nine and wicketkeeper/batsman Leniko Boucher was not out on eight, after Phillips and Joseph worked over their opponents’ top-order batting on a typically docile Guyana National Stadium pitch.

It was a total contrast to what had transpired over the

first five hours, after Williams, the Barbados vice-captain, again distinguished himself with seven for 61 from 25.2 overs to follow up his seven scalps in the Jamaica first innings in the first round of matches.

Opener Amir Jangoo looked quite organised in hitting the top score of 79 for T&T with Jemeel Maniram’s 36, Brandon Jaggernauth with 23 and Brian Christmas with 22 further propping up the batting.

Joseph struck an early blow for T&T in the field, when he bowled opener Dikembe Wilson for a duck and Phillips could hardly believe his good fortune when Lee-Germon Gaskin was caught at gully from an ill-advised steer also for a duck.

Joseph then bamboozled Akil Greenidge to trap him lbw, also without scoring, and Jafari Toppin was bowled for four driving over the top of a delivery from Phillips, leaving the Barbadians wobbling on five runs for four wickets before Boucher joined Drakes and calmed their nerves.

Earlier, two wickets – both to Williams – in the second hour of the morning period set T&T back on 73 for three at lunch.

T&T suffered an early

setback, when their captain Jeremy Solozano, the West Under-19 batsman, was caught behind for four, gloving an awkward bouncer from Shamar Springer.

Louis, Martina wreck Jamaica GEORGETOWN, Guyana, (CMC) – Three-wicket hauls from Jeremiah Louis and Shaquille Martina undermined Jamaica and gave Leeward Islands the advantage, on the opening day of the second round of matches in the Regional Under-19 Championship here yesterday.

Louis finished with three for 18 and Martina, three for 28, as Jamaica were bundled out for 117 after they were sent in at the Demerara Cricket Club.

In-form middle order batsman Romaine Morris top-scored with 29 while Abijai Mansingh chipped in with

22 and Mark Parchment, 21.

At the close, the Leewards were five without loss, behind by 116 runs heading into day two.

Jamaica were always in trouble, slipping to 26 for three early in the day as Louis, Martina and Colin Archibald, who took two for 24, all made key strikes.

Parchment and Morris then bolstered the innings with a 51-run, fourth wicket stand to carry their side to lunch at 56 for three. However, the last seven wickets tumbled for 40 runs as Martina and Louis returned to wreck the middle and lower order.

Lewis, O’Brien end Tallawahs unbeaten run PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, (CMC) – Evin Lewis’s fiery half-century coupled with Kevin O’Brien’s fourwicket haul fired Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel to their fourth win and third on the trot, as they beat Jamaica Tallawahs by 13 runs here yesterday.

Sent in at Queen’s Park Oval, Red Steel amassed 183 for five off their 20 overs with Lewis smashing an attractive 72 from 43 deliveries. O’Brien chipped in with 32, left-hander Darren Bravo got 30 while captain Dwayne Bravo scored 24.

Seamers Andre Russell (223) and Rusty Theron (2-34) picked up two wickets apiece.

In reply, Jamaica were held to 170 for six from their allotted overs despite captain Chris Gayle’s top score of 60 from 46 balls and Russell’s whirlwind unbeaten 40 from 17 balls.

Jermaine Blackwood scored a measured 28 from 26 balls.

Medium pacer O’Brien made the difference with his spell of four for 23 from three

overs, removing both Gayle and Blackwood who posted 76 for the second wicket.

The defeat ended Tallawahs’ unbeaten run and sent Red Steel to the top of the standings with eight points.

Lewis was simply outstanding at the top of the order, counting two fours and eight sixes in an opening stand of 44 off 34 balls with O’Brien, who registered three fours and two sixes in a 21-ball knock.

The left-handed Lewis also added a further 87 for the third wicket with Darren Bravo after Red Steel lost O’Brien and then Ross Taylor without scoring in successive deliveries in the sixth over bowled by seamer Russell.

O’Brien smacked Theron for a six and a four in the fourth over that cost 14 runs before being yorked by Russell in the Jamaican’s first over. Taylor fell to the first ball he faced, driving loosely to Theron at mid-off at 45 for two.

Lewis than carried the Red Steel innings, counting two fours and a six off Gayle’s second over of off-

Evin Lewis struck eight sixes in his 72 for the Red Steel spin that cost 16 runs and then tearing into the Jamaican again in next over with two successive sixes over longoff, as the over went for 17

runs.

Left-arm spinner Daniel Vettori also came in for punishment, launched for three sixes by Lewis in the 14th over that leaked 19 runs. He eventually perished in the 15th over, taken in the deep by Adam Voges off Theron.

Darren Bravo, whose knock was run-a-ball, followed soon after in the 17th and Nicholas Pooran fell for one in the following over, but Dwayne Bravo ended the innings on a high with a four and two sixes off 18 balls.

Tallawahs then lost Chadwick Walton in the third over for eight with the score on 21 but Gayle and Blackwood stabilized the innings.

The left-handed Gayle hit five fours and three sixes, threatening to take Tallawahs to get another victory. However, he was one of three wickets to fall for three runs in ten balls, to leave the visitors languishing at 124 for five in the 17th over.

Russell lashed a four and five sixes to give Tallawahs hope but his charge came too little too late.

Guyana’s Lindani Anderson off to MLB try-out with Baltimore Orioles GUYANA’S Lindani Anderson may want to seek an audience with India’s Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel; the two baseball players whose lives were depicted in the Hollywood Box-Office hit ‘Million Dollar Arm’.

In the movie which chronicled the two players’ journey to becoming the first Indians to play in America’s Major League Baseball (MLB), it showed how players coming from parts of the world where the sport is relatively unknown, can rise to prominence just by using their God- gift talent.

There’s so much similarity between Anderson, Patel and Singh.

They were all raw talent who has never touched a baseball before a reality TV show came into fruition.

They all played cricket with some amount of success in the World’s second most popular sport and most importantly, they came from countries where baseball isn’t even played.

Anderson departed Guyana yesterday for Florida after winning the E-Networks/ Guyana Baseball League (GBL) reality show and will

now attempt to join the Baltimore Orioles.

The Orioles is one of MLB’s most storied franchises and after a visit by the club’s International recruiting director and famed baseball scout Fred Ferreira, Ander-

I think the transition will be easy for me because cricket and baseball

have a lot of similarities so I don’t see a problem there; I’m looking forward to it… my family supports me and I’m positive,” Anderson told reporters at a Press Conference held prior to his departure.

The Orioles’ scout Justin Prinstein upon his visit to Guyana to launch the ENetworks/GBL reality TV Show in February last, stated that sooner than later, the Major Leagues will see its first Guyanese player and lauded the work of Robin Singh GBL President, and his affiliates for pioneering the game on these shores.

Vishok Persaud, Managing Director of E-Networks, said that Anderson’s success and the dedication shown by Singh and the other members of the GBL was good enough to make him more than a believer in the sport.

Persaud said that E-Networks is “happy to be associated with the Guyana Baseball League, it was a project that was interesting because Guyana doesn’t know about baseball; but we at E-Networks wanted to be part of something different and something special. We are in post-production of the

The win saw Guyana clinching the Western Zone of the competition and only losing one of their five games played.

Slingerz FC striker Abrams saw his tally moving to 12 goals in the tournament, sitting comfortably leading all scorers as well.

It was build-up as one the most intriguing clash of the preliminary round of the tournament since both teams were seen as being strong contenders for the title.
