US Marshals arrest Guyanese-born drug lord

IT reportedly took seven US marshals using combat gear to swoop down on the 175th Street, Queens, New York residence of Guyanese-born Oswald Lewis, at about 23:00hrs on Tuesday night, and ram their way into the man’s apartment, where, according to the US Daily News, the marshals were confronted with gunfire from an automatic weapon before they were able to arrest the man. Lewis has reportedly been living in the United States for most of his life; and according to authorities in that country, he has been

in the air, although - after shootout in Queens, NY hands he was still wearing his bul-

engaged in the smuggling of drugs for years. Persons who spoke to the US press said the Guyanese-born drug lord seemed prepared for the lawmen’s visit. But after coming under fire, the marshals returned fire, forcing Lewis to take evasive measures. Reports are that he was wanted for cocaine smuggling and assault. The marshals were backed up by ranks from the New York Police Department, and as the man attempted to escape via his backyard, he was confronted by the NYPD ranks, upon whom he also fired. After

realizing there was nowhere to run, Lewis retreated into the apartment, abandoning his automatic pistol after he had been shot once to the left hand, the US press reported. The late night drama saw curious onlookers coming out of their apartments and peering through windows, hoping not to miss any part of the action. Persons were seen standing on the streets across from the man’s apartment with their smart phones and other gadgets, taking pictures and making other recordings of the ordeal. Lewis, according to the US press as advised by the lawmen, had been on the run for more than ten years. In 1991, he was indicted for conspiracy to distribute cocaine. Eyewitnesses related that it was he who had first

shot at police and marshals, forcing them to return fire. The witnesses also reported to the media that Lewis tossed his gun outside the front door of his apartment before walking out with his

let-proof vest and bleeding from the arm. He later reportedly broke down and cried like a child when arrested and handcuffed by the lawmen. Eyewitness said that

after the first responders had showed up at the man’s house and had come under fire, back-up ranks swarmed the entire block within thirty seconds, causing residents to describe the police response as “incredible” (Leroy Smith)

DPP recommends murder, wounding charges for Cummings Lodge woman

By Leroy Smith

THE Chambers of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) late yesterday advised that the police bring murder charges against Angela Khan of Cummings Lodge for the murder of 37-year-old Bharrat Sugrim on Sunday while she and her husband were involved in a drunken brawl. In addition, the DPP’s Chambers also advised that the woman be charged with wounding her husband Dhaniram Seewah. It is expected that the woman would have the charges laid against her this morning and is likely to appear in court during the day to answer to the wounding charge. She will not be required to answer to the murder charge since that is indictable. Yesterday also, the Chambers of the DPP ordered the release of the woman’s husband Seewah who was taken into custody along with her since the police picked them up on Monday for questioning in relation to the murder of their drinking pal. Sugrim who was a visitor to the couple’s

home on Sunday attempted to intervene as a peacemaker when he was stabbed once to the region of the heart. This publication was advised that the post-mortem examination revealed that the man died as a result of a punctured heart caused by a sharp object. Following the incident on Sunday the man was left lying in a pool of blood in the couple’s backyard and neither of them reported the incident to the police. Residents in the area said that the husband and wife would usually argue and have fights whenever they consumed alcohol. The duo would then make death threats to each other and according to neighbours on Sunday, that was just another one of those days and they ignored the couple. No one knew then that someone had lost their life in the yard while playing the role of peacemaker between the couple. On Monday the mother of the man who the DPP ordered to be released was convinced that he was going to take the rap for his wife and confess to the killing of Sugrim but that did not happen.

Commissioner-General says...

GRA free to act on alleged duty-free scandal -now that Chronicle has gone public with story

COMMISSIONER-General of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA), Khurshid Sattaur, yesterday told the Guyana Chronicle that the reason he did not act sooner on the matter of the alleged duty-free concession scam involving the publisher of the Kaieteur News, was because he was waiting on a report from the Auditor- General. He said, “This matter was referred to the Auditor-General when he requested documents from us to conduct his audit. I thought his findings would have come out sooner, and I did not want to preempt his report on the findings.” Sattaur admitted that in any other case, the vehicles that are the subject of contention would have already been seized and impounded. However, given the “presumed involvement” of a prominent figure in society, he chose to “tread cautiously” rather than act in haste and be accused of being “politically- directed” to act. “It has happened before; there is always the suggestion out there, and people will use all kinds of stories about me being subject to political directives. This is always the case when you act in these matters,” Sattaur said. He said that given that the details of the alleged duty-free concession scam have been made public by the Guyana Chronicle, it is only natural that the public will expect his office to act, lest it be accused of having double standards. MADE PUBLIC The details of the alleged duty-free concession scam were made public following a look by the Guyana Chronicle at the Government of Guyana’s review of the Remigrant Scheme. Information received indicates that this issue started with husband and wife Narootandeo and Gharbassi Brijnanan, who were, on July 3, 2013 granted permission by the Foreign Affairs Ministry to return to Guyana as “remigrants”, along with the concomitant incentives of the scheme. Under the remigrant programme, Guyanese who would have resided overseas for more than five years and

are returning home to reside are entitled to a number of benefits. These benefits include an import duty-free waiver for vehicles, and tax exemption for household items, once the items at reference were owned for six months or more in the country where the remigrant was living. As husband and wife, Narootandeo and Gharbassi Brijnanan were entitled to concessions as two separate individuals, although a joint application was submitted. The duty-free conces-

It hurts us all’. sion is awarded on condition that “the motor vehicle cannot be leased or transferred within three years of registration, and providing that the registration licence, fitness and registration and insurance are submitted for inspection at the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) every six months,” according to a letter issued to the applicant. The Brijananans, on their application form, indicated that besides household items, they were returning with two 2013 Lexus Suburban L57 vehicles, the chassis numbers of which were listed along with other required information. On the application form, the chassis numbers for the vehicles were listed as JTJHY7AX7D4100270 and JTJHY7AX6D4094851 with the registration dates in the State of New York being September 25, 2012 and March 3, 2013 correspondingly. However, on the Bill of Lading for the vehicles, the chassis numbers were listed as JTJHY7AX6D4096745

and JTJHY7AX6D4094851, respectively. This clearly indicates that one of the numbers did not correspond with the chassis number on the application. Further, for the vehicle bearing chassis number JTJHY7AX6D4094851, it was noticed that the date on the New York-issued Certificate of Title was March 3, 2013. This could only mean that the vehicle was not owned for more than six months before the application was made by the Brijnanans. If true, this would be a clear violation of the regulation surrounding the application for remigrant status and duty-free concession. The Guyana Chronicle was able to obtain copies of all the relevant documents — from the application to and approval by the Foreign Affairs Ministry, GRA, and shipping information. Further, Glenn Lall, owner and publisher of the Kaieteur News, was listed as the closest relative of Naratootandeo Brijnanan on the application form that was submitted to the Foreign

Affairs Ministry. The Brijnanans gave as their address in Guyana as 221 Number 61 Village, Corentyne Berbice. In essence, what would have occurred, according to documents perused by the Guyana Chronicle, is that the Brijnanans successfully obtained import duty concession in the sum of $4.222, 223.55 for each vehicle, totaling in excess of $8M. When contacted by the Guyana Chronicle, Brijnanan said he was unaware of the discrepancies on his application and the Bill of Lading for the vehicles, thereby denying that he was involved in any scam. He stated that he’d applied for Remigrant Status some five years ago, and

has been in the country since then. However, the letter from GRA to the Brijnanans is dated July 8, 2013. Further, the receipt attached to the Bill of Lading is dated September 20, 2013. When questioned about the conflicting chassis numbers listed on his application and his Bill of Lading, Brijnanan said he could not explain the discrepancy. “I can’t understand; it is supposed to be the same thing that came,” he said. However, further investigation by the Guyana Chronicle has unfolded more evidence to suggest that Brijnanan was less than honest in disclosing the location of the two Lexus vehicles. “I have the vehicles right here in Berbice with me,” he said. Information found on the GRA License Revenue Processing System (GRA -LRPS) form indicates that the licence plate numbers for the two vehicles are PRR 8398 and PRR 8399, which are driven by Lall and his wife, Bhena (owner of Bhena’s Footwear). PRR 8398 is usual ly prominently parked in front of the Kaieteur News head office on Saffon Street, Charlestown, Georgetown, and PRR 8399 is often seen on Regent Street, Georgetown near Bhena’s Footwear.

Also, although the Brijnanans have a Berbice address, it was noted that the address listed on the registration forms for both of the vehicles is Lot 8 Continental Park, East Bank Demerara, which just so happens to be the address of a senior functionary at the GRA, whom is a close acquaintance of the Lalls. With the Auditor-General’s Office conducting an investigation into alleged scams involving the Remigrant Scheme, it is not sure whether or not this is one of them. So far, Auditor-General Deodat Sharma is yet to return a call to the Guyana Chronicle, which has made several attempts to obtain an update on the current review of the system. Meanwhile, this newspaper’s research into the source price for a Lexus L570 is about US$80,000. Import duty for such a vehicle would be a total of US$94,500, bringing the total value of the vehicle to US$174,500, or more than G$36M for each of the vehicles imported by the Brijnanans. It appears, therefore, that the Government was cheated out of a total of US$189,000 (US$94,500 times 2), or almost $40M in import duty for the two vehicles which Lall and his wife are driving.

Islamic State executes Breakthrough hopes dented soldiers, takes hostages as Ukraine accuses Russia of new incursion at Syria base: social media By Richard Balmforth and Anton Zverev

(Reuters) - UKRAINE accused Russia of launching a new military incursion across its eastern border on Wednesday, as hopes quickly faded that Tuesday’s talks between their two presidents might mark a turning point in a fivemonth-old crisis. Accusations of direct Russian support for pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine have prompted Western governments to impose sanctions on Moscow, despite its vehement denials, and fanned tensions with NATO to levels

not seen since the Cold War. Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said a group of Russian soldiers had crossed the border in armoured infantry carriers and a truck and entered the town of Amvrosiyivka, not far from where Ukraine detained 10 Russian soldiers on Monday. He said fighting in two other towns, Horlivka and Ilovaysk, had killed about 200 pro-Russian rebels and destroyed tanks and missile systems. Thirteen Ukrainian service personnel had been killed in the past 24 hours and 36 had been wounded. No comment was imme-

diately available from the Russian defence ministry on the alleged incursion. Russia denies sending weapons and soldiers to help the rebels, and says the men captured on Monday had crossed an unmarked section of the border by mistake. Late-night talks in the Belarussian capital Minsk had appeared to yield some progress towards ending a war in which more than 2,200 people have been killed, according to the U.N. -- a toll that excludes the 298 who died when a Malaysian airliner was shot down over rebel-held territory in July.

An Islamic State militant uses a loud-hailer to announce to residents of Taqba city that Tabqa air base has fallen to Islamic State militants, in nearby Raqqa city August 24, 2014

By Sylvia Westall (Reuters) - ISLAMIC State militants have executed Syrian army soldiers and are holding a group hostage after capturing an air base in northeast Syria at the weekend, pictures posted on social media by supporters showed on Wednesday. Islamic State, an offshoot of al Qaeda, stormed Tabqa air base near Raqqa city on Sunday after days of fighting with the army that cost more than 500 lives, according to monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Tabqa was the army’s last foothold in an area otherwise controlled by the militants, who have seized large areas of Syria and Iraq. The United States has carried out air

strikes on the group in Iraq and is considering its options in Syria. In one picture posted online, a group of militants in balaclavas are seen gunning down at least seven kneeling men identified as army personnel. It was not possible to immediately confirm the authenticity of the images. Other photos showed groups of eight to 10 soldiers taken hostage, some with face wounds and three identified as officers. The photos appeared to show at least two dozen hostages. One picture reportedly shows the body of a pilot who had appeared on Syrian television before the attack on the base explaining how the army could easily defend it. Others show militants holding up knives next to

groups of captured men. Syrian state television aired a report last week interviewing army personnel at the base and showing its defences, just before Islamic State overran it. After the capture on Sunday, Syrian state television said the military was “regrouping” and that there was a “successful evacuation of the airport” as the army continued strikes on Islamic State in areas close to the base. The Observatory said 346 Islamic State fighters were killed and more than 170 members of the security forces had died in five days of fighting over the base, one of the deadliest clashes between the two groups since the start of the war.

Peru seizes 3.3 tonnes Ecuador police jailed for Europe-bound cocaine Correa assassination attempt hidden in coal

The drugs were found in an remote rural area 550km north of Lima

(BBC News) POLICE in Peru say they have seized at least 3.3 tonnes of cocaine hidden in a shipment of coal bound for Europe. Officers discovered the stash in a house near the town of Huanchaco after a six-week surveillance operation with the help of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

They arrested two Mexican and seven Peruvian nationals suspected of working for a Mexican drug cartel. Peru is the world’s top grower of coca, the raw ingredient for cocaine. Counter-narcotics police chief Vicente Romero said it was the largest amount of cocaine seized in the Ande-

an country so far this year. Interior Minister Daniel Urresti said the cocaine was hidden inside lumps of coal the size of footballs bound for export to Belgium and Spain. Peru overtook Colombia as the country with the largest area planted with coca bushes in the world in 2012.

Brazil holds TV presidential election debate (BBC News) CANDIDATES in Brazil’s presidential election have taken part in the first televised debate of the campaign. Incumbent President Dilma Rousseff went head to head with main rivals Marina Silva of the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB) and Aecio Neves of the PSDB. The BBC’s Gary Duffy in Sao Paulo said there were some individually strong moments but no knock-out blows. Ms Rousseff is ahead in the polls for the 5 October election but analysts predict it will go to a second round. Narrowing lead Ms. Silva has replaced the former PSB candidate Eduardo Campos, who died in a plane crash earlier this month. There was no clear winner and while the next post-debate polls are eagerly awaited, this is clearly a much closer race than it once appeared ” Wyre Davies Rio de Ja-

The televised debate - the first of several - had been eagerly anticipated

neiro correspondent In the much-anticipated debate, President Rousseff defended her government’s popular social programmes but blamed the international economic crisis for the country’s slowing economy. Marina Silva spoke passionately about the need for widespread political reform and to remove power from the hands of traditional elites. The latest opinion polls in Brazilian media on Tuesday showed Ms Silva had narrowed President Rousseff ’s lead to 34%, down from 38% in early August. It gave Ms Silva 29% of

voter support and Mr Neves 19%. The poll, published by O Estado de Sao Paulo newspaper, has a margin of error of plus or minus two percentage points. Tuesday’s televised debate also includes candidates Eduardo Jorge (PV), Levy Fidelix (PRTB), Luciana Genro (PSOL) and Pastor Everaldo (PSC). President Rousseff is seeking re-election with the Workers’ Party (PT). Ms Silva used to be a member of the PT during the government of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, but has since become a stern critic.

(BBC News) SIX Ecuadorean police officers have been given 12 years in jail for trying to assassinate President Rafael Correa. The six took part in a mutiny in 2010 during which officers besieged the president at a Quito hospital. One of Mr Correa’s bodyguards was killed when the mutineers opened fire on the president’s car as he finally left the hospital after 12 hours. The police were protesting over cuts to their benefits, but the demonstrations snowballed into a full-scale mutiny. A lawyer for the officers said they were considering an appeal. A total of 40 people have been convicted for their role in the mutiny. Police uprising Unrest broke out on 30 September 2010 as low-

After police occupied their barracks nationwide, Mr Correa personally visited Quito’s main barracks in an attempt to defuse the situation. Instead, tension rose further and officers shot tear gas canisters at the president who stood on the balcony tearing at his shirt saying: “If you

want to kill the president, here he is. Kill him, if you want to. Kill him if you are brave enough.” Soon afterwards, he was forced to flee wearing a gas mask, and then was taken to hospital. There, he was besieged for 12 hours, before finally escaping with the help of an elite squad, one of whose members was killed in the operation.

EDITORIAL

GUYANA

Sacrificing self for the greater good SINCE time immemorial, some outstanding figures in the family of humankind have been putting their personal welfare, even their lives, in the line of fire -- literally and figuratively -for the benefit, the general good, of others; while there are yet others who trample on the rights of others, including leaders who engage in pogroms against their own people, to advance their selfserving interests. Within the Guyana landscape, many have tried to end the scourge of slavery in various ways -- the slaves through rebellions, with some paying the ultimate price; and the various monuments around the country do not even begin to tell the stories, many unrecorded, of the desperate courage of men and women who refused to vitiate their humanity to bestiality. It is through a continuum of sacrifices by heroic antecedents of the Guyanese people that this country finally achieved Independence from Great Britain; which sadly did

not confer real freedom to the newly-birthed Guyanese nation, because this country was still held captive to a dictatorship which refused to relinquish its stranglehold on the fledgling nation, with many of the freedom fighters having been locked up in jails even while the instruments of freedom were being conferred to the dictator. However, the greatest freedom fighter Guyana has ever known, who strategised and led the fight for freedom against colonisation -- Dr. Cheddi Jagan -- along with a team of loyal and committed patriots, continued relentlessly to pursue true democracy, whereby the peoples of this land could truly celebrate their national identity through cultural diversity on the once common path to peace, progress and prosperity. The journey was rugged, and the way was filled with the encumbrances of violence meted out to the path-breakers, who sometimes paid with their lives to create a way forward for a pathway on which their descendants could tread

with the confidence of a brighter future ahead – if they succeeded. And succeed they did, but the martyrs are strewn like flowers on that path that led to the lives steeped in democratic freedoms that the current and future generations of Guyanese are enjoying. The period of JuneJuly marks the season of Guyanese martyrdom. It was during this season that 17-yr-old Jagan Ramessar and father of five, Parmanand Bholanauth, were brutally shot and left to bleed to death when they tried to prevent the hijacking of ballot boxes by members of the Guyana Defence Force during the elections of 1973. This brutal murder is still being defended by then highranking officer in the GDF -- Burnham’s security advisor, current PNC presidential candidate, and Leader of the Opposition, David Granger, who is adding insult to injury by placing the blame on the victims for their own gruesome and unnecessary murder.

The young and charismatic leader of the Working People’s Alliance, Dr. Walter Rodney, also paid the ultimate price for opposing the dictatorship, with the Guyana Defence Force once more being accused of his murder. And he was merely one of many others, including peaceful Catholic Standard photographer Father Bernard Darke, who was merely taking photographs when he was run down and bayoneted in full public view. It was in June of 1948 that five sugar workers on the Enmore Estate sacrificed their lives in pursuit of humane working conditions in the industry, which precipitated even greater efforts on the part of an already charged young Dr. Cheddi Jagan on a lifelong course to pursue justice and equity for the overburdened and abused working class people of then British Guiana. Throughout the decades of much injustice and suffering meted out to him and his supporters, he continued unswervingly to place his beloved country

and people in a comfort zone that would guarantee posterity fulfillment of the promise of unity in this nation’s cultural diversity; which would become bridges to strengthen a pathway to progress for the nation, instead of chasms that could lead to a nation being forever divided. And he pursued this dream of freedom and unity in diversity all his life. What he achieved in the early 1950s is once again fructifying, despite the frantic efforts of those who want to once more divide the people so that they can rule the land with an iron fist. The PPP/C administration is succeeding in bringing the Guyanese nation together in shared efforts at nation-building, where everyone is a participant in joint community initiatives; which is slowly but surely melding the Guyanese people into a nation with the one common objective being the pursuit of peace, progress and prosperity for all. But in the various engagements to reach this

objective, the peoples of this land must never forget to honour those who have made these achievements possible – the martyrs of Guyana who sacrificed their own welfare and sometimes their lives to carve this pathway to a brighter future for Guyana and the Guyanese people. ERRATUM: In the August 25 edition of our newspaper, part of the editorial erroneously read: “Thus it was that an education component began whereby black Muslim Brother Abu eventually was in the first batch of students studying for and successfully writing the CSEC exams.” This was due to faulty editing. It should have read: “Thus it was that an education component, whereby black Muslim Brother Abu began a programme that eventually led to the first batch of students studying for and successfully writing the CSEC Exams.” Chronicle wishes to apologise to respected educator, Brother Abu for this grave error.

Unmasking a hypocrite ALLOW me to commend your publication for the excellent investigative work in Monday’s paper, which uncovered the corrupt practices of the pseudo- whistleblower Glenn Lall. The report, titled “Local publisher at centre of duty-free concession scam”, clearly showed how the Lall family defrauded the Government and people of Guyana of close to $40 mil-

lion in taxes. The local proverb “If you live in glass house you shouldn’t throw stones at others” comes to mind with Glenn Lall and the scandalous tabloid he runs. Lall, I am sure, has no shame, and will not comment on the uncovered issue of corrupt practice, which involves him and his wife. But this comes as no surprise to those of us who recall the US Government’s

label of him in the Wiki Cables as having a firm hand on criminality. One can only hope that the advocates of transparency and anti-corruption, including the ever watchful Annand Goolsarran and his puppet organisation, Transparency Institute of Guyana, will condemn this shameful display of disrespect to both the people and Government of Guyana. I am waiting to see

what public position Goolsarran and his buddy, Christopher Ram, are going to take on this issue. Will they condemn Glenn Lall and his wife for the blatant public fraud they have committed against the people of Guyana? Will Goolsarran finally demonstrate that he can be fair and balanced, or will he continue to profess falsely that he is a crusader for transparency?

This band of friends is known for its unethical, immoral and biased behaviour while piously promoting its collective political ambitions. It is public knowledge that Glenn Lall has been, and continues to be, associated with the underworld, and is inured to its dealings. Ram, like his buddy Glenn Lall, is also known for his failure to pay personal taxes. Like Lall and Ram, Goolsarran is guilty of

breaching the Constitution by failing to provide audited accounts to the Parliament when he was Auditor General during the PNC administration. Let’s see what Goolsarran and Ram will say, now that there is clear proof that the public and the Government have been blatantly robbed of tax dollars by their friend. ANDREA SINGH

Report on GFC’s Annual Report erroneous -GFC strictly complies with legislation and policy

IN what can only be deemed an effort to continue peddling misinformation and fuel its prejudicial attack on foreign investment, the Kaieteur newspaper has now resorted to rehashing old misinformation in its coverage of the forestry sector on August 23 & 24, 2014. This misinformation was first published by the local media some seven months prior. Immediately thereafter, the GFC published a detailed response in relation to the said publications, and also extended an invitation for Mr. Christopher Ram, Mrs. Janet Bulkan-Palmer and Mr. John Palmer to seek clarification and be apprised of the facts. However, they continued their unjustified attacks on the GFC. Their review of the GFC’s Reports (2005-2012) is a misrepresentation and is prejudicial and erroneous. The GFC will not be intimidated by their unwarranted campaign to attempt to mislead the public that the forest sector is being mismanaged. The Commission stands firmly on the foundation of facts, and robust its processes which are internationally recognised and respected.

AUDITED ACCOUNTS OF GFC Mr. Ram alluded to incomplete reporting by the GFC, but failed to point to any evidence or specification to substantiate this claim. It should first be restated that the GFC received unqualified (clean) audit opinions for each year of audited reports (2005-2012) submitted to Parliament. The aforementioned unqualified audit was a pronouncement from the Auditor General’s Office (the competent legal authority mandated to give such assessments), a fact alluded to by Mr. Ram. This invariably means that the financial management and reporting of the GFC have fulfilled the required standards set both internationally and locally for these areas. An unqualified audit opinion is one of the key elements of good financial reporting, and this fact needs to be the first notable point in any analysis of the GFC’s financial accounting and reporting practices for the years reviewed. GFC’S ANNUAL REPORTS Claims were also made by Mr. Ram and Mrs. Bul-

kan-Palmer that the structure of the GFC’s Annual Reports is ad hoc, and does not establish clear reporting to the National Forest Plan and Policy. What is clear from these claims is that both Mr. Ram and Mrs. Bulkan-Palmer are not knowledgeable of the contents of the National Forest Plan or Policy, or are deliberately being deceptive in their assessment of the Annual Reports. A quick look at the National Forest Plan and Policy would reveal that the exact programmatic areas of the Plan and Policy are those that have been reported on in the aforementioned Annual Reports. The high quality of the GFC’s reports, and reporting systems as a whole, have been verified by objective assessors as being clear, comprehensive, and transparent. In fact, the recent Norway Evaluation (done by international independent experts) concluded that “activities, outputs produced, and outcomes achieved are clear and readily accessible”. The assessment of these experts proves that Mr. Ram and Mrs Bulkan-Palmer’s review of the GFC’s Annual Reports are without

merit. CAPACITY BUILDING WITH THE GFC AND FORESTS SECTOR The Kaieteur News extended its misinformation by quoting Mr. Ram and Mrs. Bulkan-Palmer’s point regarding the effective building of the GFC’s capability to implement the GFC’s mandate and have long-term impacts on forest policy implementation. Every Annual Report contains information on the training sessions completed, and also makes reference to the persons trained. The GFC has been noted both regionally and internationally as a Commission of high repute; one that has embraced new programmes of work on forestry, and has demonstrated a high level of dynamism and professional capability. This has been further endorsed by recent independent audits conducted by independent forest monitoring and MRVS independent verification; which both found, following three successive years of audits, that the GFC has not only built a tremendous level of capacity to undertake the Commission’s core mandate, but

has also embraced new areas of work in a highly capable and competent manner. This is testimony that there is indeed lasting impact of capacity built through various projects implemented by the GFC. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND MANDATE OF THE GFC Mr. Ram further indicated, in the aforementioned article, that there are more questions than answers in the financial statements submitted by GFC to Parliament. In addition, chartered accountant and Attorney-at-Law Christopher Ram highlighted that there are “discrepancies” in the income and expenditure. His analysis, however, made specific reference to fluctuations in GFC’s income and expenditure. Fluctuations in income and expenditure are not discrepancies; in a practical operational environment, they are simply a normal part of the financial reporting landscape. The GFC mandate includes managing in excess of 12 million hectares of state forests. There are over 500 concessions, and

over 200 processing and value-added operators. In addition, the GFC, along with other public agencies, is responsible for the broader aspect of work on climate change in Guyana. Surely, because of the nature of this business, and indeed as for any public or private entity, there will be expansions and contractions. Thus income and expenditure will fluctuate from year to year. In fact, it is cause for concern if the figure remains the same throughout successive years. The GFC reiterates that its activities are governed by the GFC Act and the Forests Act. The GFC has always operated within the ambit of the law, and thus the financial report presented is in compliance with said law. Clearly, Mr. Ram and Mrs. Bulkan-Palmer were extremely partial in their review of GFC’s Annual Reports, and are attempting to mislead the public. GFC once again invites the public to seek clarification and be apprised of facts. JACY ARCHIBALD Corporate Secretary Guyana Forestry Commission

Credit must be given where due ALLOW me this space to expose a few facts of double-standards by both GFC critics and members of the opposition, who are bent on tarnishing the image of the GFC, including that of its Board of Directors, its head, the Commissioners, and the

hardworking staff. In a KN edition dated Aug 12, 2014 and captioned “Bulkan claims harassment”, The Bulkans gave the impression that they were specifically targeted for harassment, instead of their complimenting the intensity and robustness of the GFC’s

monitoring system for logging and export activities. There has been no talk or compliment on GFC’s introduction of Disincentive Tax Scheme and increased tax, which has still managed a 53 per cent increase in wood products, not only logs.

All this contributed to the 38 percent increase in forestry export. The rate of extraction is around 30 to 40 per cent of annual allowable cut, and the rate of deforestation is less than one percent. Despite all the noise and criticism concern-

ing Bai Shan Lin, I haven’t heard anything concerning the almost 200 employees (Guyanese) or the numerous small loggers who benefited from leasing or renting BSL’s heavy-duty equipment. Lastly, I haven’t heard anything from the Bul-

kans, Harmon, and others concerning the many GFC staff members who have benefited from numerous training programme facilitated by the GFC. Come on critics, give compliment where it is due. DESMOND MOSES

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

200 weapons handed over to PNC Gov’t - 155 missing to date

CATHOLIC Priest, Father Malcolm Rodrigues returns to the witness stand at the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry today to testify about socio-economic conditions in Guyana that caused the political assassination of Guyana’s foremost international historian and scholar, Dr Walter Rodney. Yesterday, the Inquiry ended on a note of acrimony and strife when Counsel for the People’s National Congress (PNC), Basil Williams, told the Commission that the Guyana Chronicle’s report on the Presidential Inquiry carried inaccurate reporting last Tuesday, in the use of the term “PNC Government”. Williams objected to reference in the report to the “PNC Government”, but Commission Counsel Glen Hanoman interjected, saying that the newspaper’s report seemed to refer to the Ministry of National Development being named as recipient of Guyana Defence Force (GDF) guns, as the Ministry would be of the PNC Government. Commission Chairman Sir Richard Cheltenham asked Williams to issue his complaint, using appropriate procedure, and the Commission adjourned. START OF DAY The day started with Williams cross-examining Lieutenant Colonel Sydney James, who spent three days on the witness stand this week. Counsel Williams sought to discredit document records tendered during Lieutenant Colonel James’ testimony that Army records reveal that the GDF loaned high-powered military weapons to the Ministry of National Development of the PNC Government during the 1970s and 1980s.

‘Counsel Williams employed a tactic of semantics, questioning the synonymity between the terms “PNC Government” and the Ministry of National Development. However, Counsel Pilgrim introduced a document to the Commission that has both the letterhead of the PNC political party and the Ministry of National Development printed on it, and, while Counsel Williams questioned its validity, the Commission did not reject it’ The records that Lieutenant Colonel James tendered as evidence at the Commission show that the GDF loaned 200-odd weapons to the Ministry at reference, as well as paramilitary organisations and other agencies. Of those 200-odd weapons, 155 are still missing today, with the GDF not engaged in searching for them, despite the fact that Police in 2008 found two of those guns, in-

cluding a grenade launcher, in the possession of notorious criminals at Mahaicony. During cross-examination by Counsel Andrew Pilgrim, who represents the widow and children of Dr Walter Rodney at the Commission of Inquiry, Lieutenant Colonel James made the alarming disclosure that the missing guns are used for “combat” purposes within the Army, and he

Apart from Dr Rodney, several other activists and journalists were killed, including Catholic Priest, Father Bernard Darke and several leaders of the Working People’s Alliance (WPA), the organization that Dr Rodney was leader of when he was assassinated. The Commission’s probe has unearthed how devastated and corrupted the institutions of State became under the PNC Government, with testimony detailing a militarized society caught in the grip of political paranoia, with widespread espionage and surveillance employed against political leaders opposing the PNC Government, and other senior members of society, including outstanding lawyer Miles Fitzpatrick.

would not know what use a non-military organisation would have for these guns. “These are military weapons,” he said. The GDF loaned out these “combat” weapons (capable of single fire and multi-machine-gun fire over distances ranging from 100 to 400 meters) along with training rifles, which the Army used to train new soldiers. Many of these are still missing, the witness said. Much of the day saw Counsels seeking to establish credibility of documents and Army records, in the face of Williams’ constant objection as to the validity and authenticity of some records tendered as evidence to the Commission. In fact, during his cross-examination of the witness yesterday morning, Williams provoked Commission Chairman Sir Cheltenham into reminding him that although regulations and procedures ideally must be followed, there are occasions when such is not the case, and some people act outside of procedures. RAISON D’ÊTRE The Commission is probing what could have caused Guyana to plunge to such a political low, that it assassinated its populist political leader, Dr Rodney, in a bomb-blast explosion in Georgetown on June 13, 1980. President Donald Ramotar convened the Commission in answer to decades of worldwide rallying cries for a probe into the events in Guyana on that fateful night in 1980 that saw Dr Rodney die at the hands of an assassin at the height of leading a popular mass revolt against the draconian rule of the PNC-led Government. During the time, basic food was banned across the country, and Guyana lacked press freedom, freedom of movement and democratic elections.

Throughout the Commission’s hearings, Williams has adopted a tone that is often harsh and antagonistic towards witnesses and the Commission, as he seeks to represent the PNC’s interests. This week, WPA executive member, Tacuma Ogunseye took exception to Williams’ tactics, and urged him to cooperate with the work of the Commission. But Williams faces a difficult task, and constantly seeks to correct witnesses statements, and interject in objection. Yesterday, the Counsel expended considerable energy on trying to dissuade the Commission from assuming that an

‘Yesterday’s hearings saw Counsel Christopher Ram, in cross examination of Lieutenant Colonel James, establishing that the GDF records tendered into evidence are authentic and real’ “R. Corbin” that uplifted military weapons from the GDF may be the same person as Robert Corbin, who served in the upper hierarchy of the PNC Government and eventually became Party leader. Yesterday’s hearings saw Counsel Christopher Ram, in cross-examining Lieutenant Colonel James, establishing that the GDF records tendered into evidence are authentic and real. In introducing an antagonistic and hostile tone towards media coverage of the Commission’s hearings, Counsel Williams employed a tactic of semantics, questioning the synonymity between the terms “PNC Government” and the Ministry of National Development. However, Counsel Pilgrim introduced a document to the Commission that has both the letter-head of the PNC political party and the Ministry of National Development printed on it, and, while Counsel Williams questioned its validity, the Commission did not reject it. The Commission resumes this morning at the High Court in Georgetown.

By Leroy Smith THE police were called to the Kitty Foreshore yesterday afternoon to investigate the nude body of a female of African descent which was found floating just after 16:00 hrs. This reporter managed to get close to the body before the police arrived, and did not see any visible marks of violence thereon, even as high winds and powerful waves tossed the body back and forth from the seashore to the water, providing a viewer with a 360 degree sighting of the body. News of the discovery quickly spread, and a large crowd of spectators soon converged on the scene. Minibuses traversing the Rupert Craig Highway between the Kitty Pump Station and Sheriff Street even stopped to facilitate the curiosity of passengers; and at one

someone who had gone to take a bath or swim in the water. The source pointed to the fact that the remains were naked and no clothing was spotted in the area, suggesting that if the woman had wanted to go for a swim, she would have at least remained in her underwear. Initial speculation is that the body could have been dumped at the location, or may be that of a vagrant. Investigators also suggest that the remains appeared to be that of a woman who may have been in her mid-thirties. No sign of decay was evident on the body, suggesting that the corpse was relatively fresh. The hands of the corpse were the only part of the body which appeared wrinkled, even as the hair on her pubic areas and her head remained intact.

Retired NA Hospital staffer PI opens into fatal shooting during land dispute thwarted in suicide attempt A RETIRED member of the auxiliary staff of the New Amsterdam Hospital was saved from a premature death after her attempt to commit suicide was foiled by an alert member of the constabulary. Esther Pollydore was overheard saying minutes earlier that she was fed up with life and wanted an end to issues she was facing with family members. Seconds later she was seen dashing towards the

Municipal Wharf behind the New Amsterdam Market, from where she had intended to take the deadly dive into the murky Berbice River. However, an alert member of the constabulary staff, aided by a member of the public, grabbed the woman just as she was about to ‘give up’. It was reported that she was taken to her home, where she remained at press time. Meanwhile, a former colleague told Guyana Chronicle that Pollydore, a retired

maid at the health institution had previously displayed a mental health condition but it is not known whether she had received any medical help. However, this newspaper was informed that the mother of two, had months earlier returned from a visit to the United States and had repeatedly complained that a relative had broken into her bedroom and removed many items which she had secured.

THE Preliminary Inquiry into the death of Caracas resident Errol Lindo, called ‘Son Son’, who was fatally shot during a land dispute on April 16, 2014, commenced before New Amsterdam Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus with the testimonies of two witnesses. Prosecution eyewitnesses Travis Crandon and Roger Rose were led in their evidence-in-chief by Police Prosecutor Sergeant Godfrey Playter. However, the men are

expected to return to court on September 9 when they are expected to be cross- examined by Defence Counsel Mortimer Codette. Facing the capital offence of murder is businessman Charles Henry, called Bristol, of Lad Lane, New Amsterdam who is alleged to have fatally shot the ‘squatter’ during the Christian Holy Week. An autopsy report had revealed that Lindo succumbed to multiple gunshot injuries which resulted in shock and haemorrhage.

The findings were made following a post-mortem examination by Dr Vivikanand Brijmohan at the New Amsterdam Hospital. Reports revealed that Lindo, age 51, sustained gunshot injuries to the left side of his body, another to his foot, a non-penetrative wound to his abdomen, and another in the vicinity of his lower neck. The fatal incident occurred after the accused was seen demolishing the home of the father of four.

FATF review to be completed in a matter of weeks By Vanessa Narine THE Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) draft report on Guyana’s compliance with international standards relative to its anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism framework will be completed in a matter of weeks. However, the critically important Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) (Amendment) Bill remains in limbo. In a letter dated July 9, 2014, FATF officially confirmed its decision to commence a targeted review of Guyana prior to its October 2014 plenary meeting; and the international watchdog body made it clear that the purpose of that targeted review would be to examine the most significant deficiencies in Guyana’s AML/CFT framework that pose a risk to the international financial system. FATF has said that its review would identify steps that should be taken to address those deficiencies through the development of an action plan. The international watchdog’s letter had said: “This review will be conducted by the International Cooperation Review Group (ICRG), Americas Regional Review Group (ARRG), co-chaired by Ms. Darlene Boileau (Canada) and Ms. Maria Fernanda Garcia-YrigoyenMaúrtua (Peru). “In our capacity as ICRG Co-Chairs, we now request your full cooperation in assisting the ARRG to conduct this work, including by providing up-to-date information on your jurisdiction related to AML and CFT issues, as requested by the ARRG co-chairs.” The letter indicated that Guyana would be given opportunity to review the draft targeted review and to have a face-to-face meeting with the ARRG, which is expected to happen sometime in September. DETERMINED TO HURT Commenting on the current state of affairs, President Donald Ramotar told the Guyana Chronicle that the combined parliamentary opposition -- A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC) -- seems “determined to hurt” Guyana’s economy.

“This is not our fault. The Opposition seems determined to hurt Guyana’s financial sector by not passing this Bill and not wanting to come to a solution,” he said. Both Opposition parties have linked conditionalities to their support for passage of the AML/CFT (Amendment) Bill. APNU proposed three amendments, which were included in the coalition’s draft amendments to the Principal AML/CFT Act. The Head of State had, in June, indicated that these amendments would be supported by his Government if the coalition would agree to pass the AML/CFT (Amendment) Bill. This was rejected. “What more can we do?” President Ramotar questioned, adding that A P N U ’s re j e c t i o n o f his offer to pass their amendments was essentially a rejection of their President own bill. Donald Ramotar APNU’s position is a seemingly an ‘all-or-nothing’ one, as the coalition not only demands its amendments, but maintains its call on the President to give his assent to several Bills passed in the National Assembly, including the Local Authorities (Elections) (Amendment) Bill 2013, which states that elections must be held on or before August 1, 2014. The Head of State has already forwarded to the National Assembly his explanation for not assenting to the bills. On the other hand, the AFC, which is fully behind APNU’s position, is demanding the establishment of the Public Procurement Commission (PPC), which the Government has agreed to on condition that Cabinet retains its no-objection role in the process; but the latter position has been rejected by the AFC. However, on May 29, after the announcement by CFATF, the AFC, in a statement, noted that it is now

willing to budge from its position and support Cabinet’s retention of its no-objection role. NO MOVEMENT There still remains no movement on addressing the legislative shortcomings in Guyana’s anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism framework. However, Government has been working to ensure compliance in the non-legislative areas, as advised by both the Caribbean Financial Action task Force (CFATF) and FATF. Additionally, the Parliamentary Special Select Committee reviewing the AML/CFT (Amendment) Bill has not met since June. The last notice from the Chairperson of the Committee, Ms. Gail Teixeira, indicated that a meeting was scheduled for October 10, but it remains to be seen whether or not the combined Opposition members on the committee would attend. Questions on the fate of the AML/CFT (Amendment) Bill are also being asked, given the submission of a no-confidence motion by the Alliance For Change (AFC) to the Clerk of the National Assembly, Mr. Sherlock Isaacs. The Chairperson of the Parliamentary Special Select Committee, in a prior interview, told the Guyana Chronicle that APNU and AFC must explain their positions on the matter. She said, “They also have to explain their stance over the no-confidence motion. Does that mean they will not come to any committee meeting? Does that mean the bill will be left dangling there with the FATF review coming up? They have to explain their position in light of the AFC’s no-confidence motion. “And what will happen with the Committee? Are they going to let the Committee not function and put Guyana in worse trouble?” she asked. The last suggested dates for meetings of the Committee were July 8, 10 and 30, all three of which were rejected on the basis on the unavailability of opposition members sitting on the committee. At its next meeting, between October 20/24, 2014 in Paris, France, the FATF is expected to discuss the results of Guyana’s targeted review.

Dominican Director of PAHO coming for ‘Wellness Day’ celebrations By Telesha Ramnarine THE Caribbean Community (CARICOM) would be celebrating ‘Wellness Day’ on September 13 and in honour of the occasion Guyana will host Dominican Director of the Pan American Health Organisation Carissa Etienne on a visit here from September 10 to 13. This is according to Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon yesterday at his weekly post-Cabinet press briefing at the Office of the President in Georgetown. During her stay, Dr Etienne will be participating in a series of health sector activities, principal among which would be the launching of the Presidential Commission on Non-communicable Diseases and the Wellness Warriors Club.

Both activities would take place at the Guyana International Convention Center, Dr Luncheon informed. “Non-communicable diseases continue to attract international health attention and is of particular interest to developing third world countries because of its rising incidents and prevalence that is quickly approximating, that which occurs in the developed world even though in terms of socio-economic indicators the developing countries lag behind the first world. The Wellness Warriors reaches out to young Guyanese who are involved in peer activities in promoting surveillance and prevention of illnesses particularly non-communicable diseases,” Dr Luncheon said. Dr Etienne would also participate in a symposium on international public health issues and make courtesy calls on President Donald Ramotar,

Minister of Foreign Affairs Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett and other officials.

Five-year-old battling for life after Essequibo accident - family hoping for early recovery, proper investigation

By Asif Hakim FIVE-YEAR-OLD Rewel Roberts of Good Hope Village, Essequibo Coast is battling for his life at the Georgetown Public Hospital Intensive Care Unit after he was involved in an accident near his home at about 10:00hrs on Sunday. Chronicle understands that the child and his grandfather were riding their bicycles on Good Hope Public Road when they stopped for a speeding car to pass as a parked excavator was

blocking over half of the road. After the boy and his grandfather stopped in the corner for the car to pass, the vehicle struck the child throwing him into the air before he fell onto the road. After the accident the same car took him to the Suddie Hospital where he was treated initially but the doctors there decided to have him transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital since he was in a critical condition. When this publication visited the hospital a relative who wants

to remain anonymous said that Roberts and his grandfather were going to Roberts’ mother to collect clothes to attend church. She said that when she arrived at the hospital the driver of the car was trembling and he was ‘stink a rum’. The family is now questioning how could the driver be charged if the police did not administer a breathalyzer test. “We hope that he (the child) recovers very soon and that the matter will be investigated properly.

Stage set for reconstitution of Service- DrCommissions Luncheon By Telesha Ramnarine THE stage is set for the reconstitution of the Judicial, Public, Police and Teaching Service Commissions after expiring over the past year, Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon informed yesterday. Speaking at his usual post-Cabinet press briefing at the Office of the President, in Georgetown, he said the constitutionally mandated provisions for the reconstitution were completed last August 22. With the exception of the Teaching Service Commission, parliamentary inputs into the membership of the other three commissions led to parliament’s nomination for them. For the Judicial Service Commission, former Justice Lennox Perry was nominated through the parliamentary process. For the Public Service Commission, Mr. Patrick Yarde was a nominee. For the Police Service Commission, Harold Martin, Keith John, Omesh Satyanand and Alvin Smith were the nominees through the parliamentary procedure. Dr Luncheon said meaningful consultations with the Leader of the Opposition and President Donald Ramotar were concluded on August 22 and over the course of the last few months, those consultations resulted in the appointments of Leila Ramson, Mida Persaud and Alan Munroe in the Teaching Service Commission; for the Judicial Service Commission, former Justice Prem Persaud and for the Public Service Commission Carvil Duncan, Cecil Seepersaud, and Vedyawattie Looknauth. The members of the Teaching Service Commission will meet to elect their chairperson, deputy and fulltime members. Meanwhile, the President and Leader of the Opposition consulted on the chairperson of the Police Service Commission and Omesh Satyanand would be the incoming chairman of that body when it assumes function, Dr Luncheon reported.

Meanwhile, a senior officer attached to ‘G’ Division told the Chronicle that a breathalyzer test could not have been done because there are no breathalyzer machines in that division.

Traffic education in schools to - Hugh Denhert remain a highpoint By Michel Outridge TRAFFIC Chief Hugh Denhert says that traffic education in schools will remain a highpoint in the Guyana Police Force (GPF) Traffic Department since it is of utmost importance that such a programme be continued and it is the best place to start. The Traffic Chief told this publication during an interview that they have had continuous traffic education programmes in schools in all divisions. Moreover, just before schools closed for the August holidays visits were made by ranks who held several

sessions on road safety education, considering that the children would be away from school and on the road during the vacation. Denhert explained that during this period children may visit relatives and go places and they would utilise the roads more and in places not familiar to them. Therefore, a refresher road safety session was needed to make them more conscious and alert when using the roadways. He noted that some children may have excelled at the recent exams and would receive bicycles as gifts and obviously they would be on the roads riding their new

bicycles and they should practice proper road use. The Senior Superintendent told this publication that they also do road safety sessions with drivers and would periodically visit bus and car parks and engage drivers on rules of the road. Meanwhile, Denhert was asked to comment on the observation at the Guyana National Road Safety Council (GNRSC) press conference Friday last when Chairman Shahab Hack of the West Coast Demerara Road Safety Council said that pedestrians are equally drunk as drivers. The Traffic Chief pointed out that considering the vulnerability of pedestrians, they

still continue to wear dark clothing in poorly lit areas and use the roads under the influence. Denhert admitted that pedestrains use the roads while being drunk and the need for them to desist from such a practice must be highlighted. MINIBUS CULTURE The Traffic Chief also referred to the current minibus culture and noted that they have stepped up their enforcement activities and those arrested are spoken to by ranks about road safety and they also host monthly drivers’ seminars targeting drivers. With the current traffic situation on the roads, Denhert said that they are working collaboratively with the Ministry of Works, Ministry of Home Affairs, and the Guyana Revenue Authority to have a holistic approach

in tackling traffic congestion by ensuring more roads are constructed to accommodate vehicles, while designating several streets one-way. He added that in an effort to ease traffic congestion on the roadways they have employed a three-lane system on the East Bank Demerara Roadway and the East Coast Demerara, Railway Embankment is utilised also during peak hours. When questioned about the seeming lack of police traffic ranks on the roads on weekends, he said that ranks also have to assist in other activities but they have static patrols and regular mobile patrols on the roads. According to the Traffic Department, for this year there have been 77 accidents with 84 deaths and 10 were children and for the corresponding period last year 61 accidents were recorded

Traffic Chief Hugh Denhert with 64 deaths and six were children. In ‘A’ Divison they had 30 accidents with 33 deaths; ‘B’ Division - 14 accidents with 16 deaths; ‘C’ Division - nine accidents with nine deaths; ‘D’ Division - 12 accidents with 12 deaths; ‘E’ Division - three accidents with four deaths, ‘F’ Division - two accidents with two deaths and ‘G’ Division - seven accidents with eight deaths.

Police Force establishes Facebook Page

By Leroy Smith

THE Public Relations Department of the Guyana Police Force is in the process of adding content to an already existing Facebook Page which was established two Mondays ago. Members of the public for some time now have been on social media sites suggesting that the Force open a Facebook Page which has the potential for rapid and real-time information and photograph sharing by members of the public with the police. During an invited comment last week, acting Commissioner of Police, Seelall Persaud when asked about the possibility of the establishment of a Facebook Page, dropped the bombshell by informing that the Force had already done so. He said, however, that based on his latest information the page was still being developed by the Public Relations Department and when the developmental stage has been completed the police will officially make the announcement. A visit to the page by this reporter yesterday revealed that the page had 18 likes and featured several photographs relating to police activities, security tips and other information the police thought necessary to share with members of the public. It was also pointed out that the social media site will also see the police sharing press releases which are generally disseminated to members of the media and media entities. Commissioner Persaud said that the page will be a democratic one which would allow for the posting of comments. Persons can also tag the Guyana Police Force photographs which may be of interest to the Force. It is not clear how the Force would treat with persons using profanities and other offensive language when posting and or commenting on contents of the Facebook page. Persons desirous of visiting the Guyana Police Facebook Page and being part of the conversations and other activities can like the page at https://www.facebook.

com/pages/Guyana-Police-Force/1445290725751086 or at “Guyana Police Force� in the Facebook search engine.

Meanwhile, a date for the official launching of the Facebook Page is yet to be announced.

BRHA attends to 155 persons during geriatric clinic in Region 6 THE Berbice Regional Health Authority (BRHA) is on a mission to ensure that the people of the ancient county maintain a clean bill of health and is collaborating with other agencies to reach out to the less fortunate. On Sunday, August 10, the health agency held its fourth mega-clinic for geriatric patients at the Gay Park Mandir, Greater New Amsterdam, where 155 persons sought medical attention. The clinic was conducted in collaboration with Food for the Poor (Guyana) Inc., PAHO/WHO and the Hindu Society. Apart from medicinal drugs and ointments, patients were able to access a number of other services while being treated to another sumptuous seven-curry lunch. Speaking with the Guy-

ana Chronicle, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the BRHA, Dr. Vishwa Mahadeo said that he is once again heartened by the response of the geriatric patients who are becoming health conscious. “The response shows that our people know the importance of being healthy - as we all know health is wealth and geriatrics need a special type of care,” he said. The CEO also pointed out that: “Many elderly folks do not take the time to reach to the nearest health facility for regular checkups and it is sometimes detrimental to them - with that in mind, I think this (mega-clinic) is working well.” GRATITUDE Dr. Mahadeo was high in praise of the partners of the BRHA as well as the

organisation’s staff who volunteered on their off-duty to reach out to the public. “Food for the Poor and PAHO have been giving us all the support we need and the Hindu Society has been very generous in assisting us to feed our patients but none of this would have been possible without the vital contribution of the staff of the BRHA - the doctors, medex, nurses and support staff have all done an excellent job,” he declared. Along with Dr. Mahadeo, Special Projects Manager, Melissa Ramdeen and BRHA Public Relations Officer, Michael Itwaru have been instrumental in organising and mobilising each member of the health team.

Guyana, Brazil military in groundbreaking meet here

–to discuss the strengthening of defence cooperation By Michel Outridge DECLARING open the 1st Bilateral Defence Workgroup Meeting between the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) and the Brazilian Military at the Guyana International Conference Centre (GICC) at Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara yesterday, GDF Chief of Staff, Brigadier Mark Phillips, remarked that the meeting was significant because it was being held 45 years after the first Goodwill Games mission from Guyana had visited Brazil. He recalled that during the period August 26 -30, 1968, the then Chief of Staff (CoS) designate, Colonel Clarence Price, who later became Brigadier Price, was part of the Goodwill Games delegation to Brazil, and that had laid the foundation for the Armed Forces of Guyana to have friendly relations with the Armed Forces of the Federative Republic of Brazil. CoS Brigadier Mark Phillips said, “The Federative Republic of Brazil has remained a good neighbour

GDF CoS, Brigadier Mark Phillips, presenting a plaque to Brazilian Divisional General, Decio Luis Schons yesterday

to the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, and we have certainly achieved a regime of peace and understanding between the two countries.” He also acknowledged Brazil’s respect for Guyana’s territorial integrity before the meeting was convened yesterday. Brigadier Phillips said the defence cooperation existing between the two South American neighbours has existed for more than four-and-a-half decades, and many of the

officers and ranks of the GDF have participated in courses, and continue to be trained at the training schools and colleges of the Brazilian Armed Forces. Brigadier Phillips said the military cooperation between Guyana and Brazil is exemplified by Guyana’s appointment of a resident military attaché to Brazil in the person of Brigadier-General Julian Bruce Lovell, who was also part of Guyana’s delegation to the military talks yesterday.

Brigadier Phillips added that the GDF Jungle and Amphibious Training School continues to be staffed by a team of Brazilian instructors, and the GDF football team has so benefited from the presence of a Brazilian physical education monitor/ foot-ball coach on a continuous basis that it is now the second best team in the Guyana Football League. He expressed pleasure that yesterday’s meeting was geared at strengthening the defence coopera-

tion between Guyana and Brazil. Brigadier Phillips also introduced to the Brazilian Military Delegation the members of the GDF Delegation, which comprised senior officers. In response, Brazilian Divisional General Decio Luis Schons declared that he was very pleased with the warm welcome his delegation had received. He said it was something that would remain with the delegation, and he expressed confidence that

the relationship between the two countries would flourish. General Schons said Guyana is a country they do not know very well, and the language barrier places additional limitations on the delegation; but its members are willing to learn, and they hope that the meeting would be fruitful. Declaring that their intent is to further relations between the two Armed Forces, General Schons also talked about the relationship that has existed between the two Armed Forces over the years, and reaffirmed the position of the Brazilian Defence Ministry to promote military cooperation with Guyana. General Schons expressed hope that the conversations would reinforce understanding and unity between the two countries, and deepen their integration along the border. He also hoped the meeting would lead to greater understanding of each others’ positions and dispositions in order that the friendship could progress in the future. General Schons also introduced his delegation to the GDF’s at the meeting yesterday.

Natural Resources Minister pledges support for sector’s continued growth, development

By Clifford Stanley NATURAL Resources and the Environment Minister, Robert Persaud, has said that allegations of poor governance of the natural resources sector are mis-

representations aimed at damaging the livelihoods of people within the sector, and the general economic development of the country as a whole. Speaking in apparent reference to allegations of Gov-

ernment mismanaging Bai Shan Lin, Minister Persaud said: “I challenge anyone who can say, over the past years, where we, the PPP/ Civic Government, have, in any sector, including the natural resources sector,

breached the laws of the country; where we have in any way sold out the rights of Guyanese, or not taken on board the interests of all the people of Guyana.” He said: “I challenge anyone to produce the evidence.” Speaking at the launch of Mining Week 2014, he said transparency, accountability and integrity have been the hallmarks of the Government, and it will continue to pursue same so that we can move this country forward, create a better country, and at the end of the day create a better natural resources sector for all stakeholders. He said that developments in the mining sector in particular were cause for great optimism, since this industry has been able to survive volatility in prices, and had become much more resilient. He said there has been greater interest in the sector, and greater enthusiasm among Guyanese and even non-Guyanese, who want to get involved and be part of the development of this industry. The Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC), for example, had just held an auction for mining plots, after more than four years, with the intention of staging it for one day; but due to the interest generated, this auction had ended up becoming a five day event. He said: “If people did not think that there was money to be made from mining, and if they did not think that it was good to be (into)

mining, they would not have turned out in such large numbers to participate and to pay large sums through a public auction process.” Lotteries for mining

Natural Resources Minister, Mr. Robert Persaud lands held in the six mining districts had attracted overwhelming public response, and every day the GGMC office is bombarded by requests from miners at different levels --small medium and large scale; for more access. “That speaks to confidence. It directly speaks to people wanting to develop and wanting to grow the sector,” he posited. On governance of the sector, he said the Ministry has sought, and succeeded over the past year, to encourage the development of sustainable and responsible mining. The Ministry had looked at how it could deepen com-

pliance and enforcement for environmentally friendly mining, and at ways in which it could enhance the functioning of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well as the Environmental Division of the GGMC. Actions had included the staging of a number of training programmes and a number of stakeholder interactions to develop and encourage much more responsible and sustainable mining activities. A programme with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) mainstreaming biodiversity in mining activities through which miners are encouraged to think about conservation and protection of the biodiversity had recently been concluded. The Ministry had also worked with the Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association (GGDMA) and mining communities in terms of enhancing social responsibility; in terms of dealing with issues such as trafficking in persons, and other illegal activities that sometimes takes place in mining communities. “We have sought to encourage miners and the mining community to ensure that mining is done in a socially responsible way,” he said, adding that there are a number of other measures that the Ministry had undertaken since the last Mining Week 2013 to make miners much more resilient to some of the difficulties. He stressed that Government would continue to give this type of support.

Berbice wedding-house murder...

Autopsy reveals ‘vic’ died of stab wounds to the heart THE autopsy report shows that Karan Sukdeo, the medium built six-footer who was killed outside a wedding house at Johanna North, Black Bush Polder, at about 23:45hrs last Saturday, died as a result of two stab wounds to his heart. The report also stated that the man’s body had five incised wounds, resulting in shock and haemorrhage. The findings were made by Pathologist Dr. Vivikanand Brijmohan, following a post-mortem examination at the Skeldon Hospital mortuary. Meanwhile, the main suspect remains in custody as police continue their investigations into the slaying of thirty-year-old Sukdeo, called Vishal, last Saturday night. According to reports, the main suspect, who is also from the same community, said that he is 17 years

old and alleged that he was pulled from the wedding house by the deceased who lashed him about his body with a piece of wood. A scuffle ensued between them before he left for home, leaving behind the injured man on a dam. Invitees to the wedding celebrations claimed that the suspect, who was under the influence of alcohol, was behaving inappropriately towards a female guest, prompting Sukdeo to usher him away from the celebrations. However, the younger sibling of the deceased, Ramesh Sukhdeo, recounted that he too was at the event and had just served his sister-in-law Devi a bottle of Smalta (a non-alcoholic beverage) when he heard screams. “After hearing the screams, I ran outside just to see my brother collapsing on the dam.

Aries - March 21 - April 19 This is a wonderful day for you. You'll find that you're holding all the cards you need to be successful. Today luck and prosperity meet with discipline to create a perfect situation for wealth. Your preparation is finally paying off. You'll find that the more in tune you can be with yourself, the better integrated you'll be with the people around you. Taurus - April 20 - May 20 Things will be extremely light and airy today. You may find that people are a bit less sensitive than you. Moving out of your comfort zone is the key to growth. Don't hesitate to move into the unknown. You can achieve a greater sense of balance between yourself and your environment if you're open to change and accept it. Gemini - May 21 - June 21 The wind is blowing briskly today, helping you keep your internal fire burning bright. You'll be a social butterfly today. Your energy may be scattered, but this can actually work to your advantage. Picking up tidbits of information and hints from different places and people will help you integrate your energy with your environment. Capitalise on this exciting energy. Cancer - June 22 - July 22 The key for you today is to not take things too seriously. You'll find that the more you deliberate over a decision, the harder it will be for you to make. You may miss your opportunity while you're weighing the facts. Be spontaneous. Try something you've never tried before. Vary your experiences so things don't get boring. Variety is the spice of life. Leo - July 23 - August 22 This is a terrific day for you, and you'll find that long-term trends are moving in your favour. Your sense of discipline combined with a little bit of luck is setting the stage for you to perform. The audience is waiting anxiously and you have a great deal of humour, knowledge, and happiness to share. Engage in witty conversation and remember that life is an easy flow. Virgo - August 23 - September 22

were hitting at him. I asked them what they were doing to my brother, and they ran away. Initially I thought my brother was just unconscious due to what I thought was a beating, but then I saw blood oozing, then I realised that he was stabbed.” In tears, he recounted that he desperately attempted to revive his sibling but after he failed, he rushed home and woke up his father, who used his car to transport the body of his lifeless son to the Mibicuri Cottage Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival by medical practitioners. In the meantime, the widow Devi Sukdeo, who expressed fears after being thrown into the role of being a single parent, recalled seeing her husband in a stooping position in the drain. “At first I did not know it was him… I don’t know why they killed him… I don’t want to believe that my husband had gone leaving me and our one-year-old son… what will happen to us now, how will we live without him,” she pondered. This newspaper was told that following the autopsy findings, the police file will be sent to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for further advice.

It may be necessary to hire a translator in order to get through to people today. You may find that the more adamant you become, the more people shut you out. Keep things light and energetic. Too serious a tone could lead to disaster. Try not to make things more complicated than they need to be. You're holding the right cards, and now it's time to play them strategically. Libra - September 23 - October 22 A great deal of wind fills your sails today, so set your course for a long-distance trip to an exotic place. Things are coming to a dramatic climax right now. You could find that some serious pieces of your life are taking a dramatic turn. Change is necessary for growth. If tension exists in certain areas of your life, don't fight it. Think about taking a different path. Scorpio - October 23 - November 21 There's a lighthearted, whimsical quality about the day that you might not appreciate at first. You'll find that the more open and accepting you are of this energy, the more you can make it work positively for you. Use this feeling to balance the seriousness in your day. Don't get caught up in unnecessary drama that has nothing to do with your situation. Sagittarius - November 22 - December 20 You can probably sweet-talk your way in or out of any situation today. You have a great deal of power within, and you can accomplish anything as long as you aren't afraid to use it. Don't fear failure. If you never try, you'll never succeed. If you see missing pieces in the plan, don't worry. Trust that things will fall into place as needed. Keep your eyes on the prize. Capricorn - December 21 - January 19 Find comfort in the people around you today. Try not to take things too seriously. Don't feel like you need to internalise everyone else's problems. Take a step back from any situation that doesn't seem right to you. You may find conversation with new people to be extremely stimulating and rewarding. Keep your guard up, but don't let it block you from new experiences. Aquarius - January 20 - February 18 Someone has just turned the fan up high. There's no lack of air to fuel your fire. Information is flying left and right and there's a lot of opportunity associated with it. To take advantage of this powerful day, keep the air circulating around you. Stretch and take deep, powerful breaths to enhance your nervous system and make the best use of this energy. Pisces - February 19 - March 20 The time has come for you to be more flexible in your approach. Things are changing quickly, and if you aren't prepared to change with them, you'll be left behind. Be aware of the fluctuating atmosphere around you, and be prepared to make the necessary internal adjustments that help you fit in better with the external environment. Don't fear change.

‘CRICKET FOR UNITY’

Colors Boutique sponsors teams’ uniforms By Calvin Roberts THANKS to the generosity of Colors Boutique the two teams namely Roraima Strikers and Kaieteur Thunders will be adequately outfitted when they take the field next Saturday night to do battle in the specially organised ‘Cricket For Unity’ T20 fixture at the Demerara Cricket Club ground. Yesterday at the Queen Street-based Windjammer Hotel, match organiser Dexter ‘Bushman’ Garnett handed over both sets of uniforms to the coaches of the respective teams in Clive Grimmond for Roraima Strikers and Quason Nedd of Kaieteur Thunders. Prior to the presentation, Garnett said the main aim of the contest, which was originally scheduled for July 5 at the same venue but was postponed due to rain, is to bring everyone together irrespective of the sport they

… Match set for next Saturday would have played before. Both Grimmond and Nedd applauded the Garnett for the initiative taken, with the name being given to the match speaking volumes, while pledging their continued support to the venture which they themselves hoped would be an annual affair. Chief Executive Officer of Windjammer Hotel, Carey Griffith, who will feature in the contest for Roraima Strikers, said his entity was pleased to be on board with the game, one he views as a good gesture, while he took the time to urge all and sundry to come out and show their support. The action will bowl off at 19:00hrs and players such as Lennox Cush, who is the lone bowler in this format of the game to have taken two

hat-tricks, Reon King, Colin Stuart, Orin Forde, Sheik Mohammed, Esaun Crandon, Travis Dowlin, Jermaine Neblette, Neil Barry, Clyde Butts and Rayon Griffith will feature among the two teams. Minister of Sport Dr Frank Anthony, his Permanent Secretary and Deputy Permanent Secretary, Alfred King and Steve Ninvalle, Speaker of the National Assembly Raphael Trotman, Opposition Leader David Granger and local Soca Monarch Jumo ‘Rubber Waist’ Primo, are all expected to do battle in the game as well. Sponsors such as Ansa McAl Limited, Morgan’s Learning Centre, the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, Wartsila and Trophy Stall of Bourda Market, Hadi’s City Mall and South Road,

Bourda, have all contributed towards making the event a success story next Saturday. The final 11 for both teams will be chosen from: Roraima Strikers - Travis Dowlin, Aaron Fraser, Rabindranauth Seeram, Mark Harper, Clyde Butts, Esaun Crandon, Rayon Griffith, Jermaine Neblette, Neil Barry, Charles Ramson, David Granger, James Bond, Raphael Trotman, Malcolm Pereira, Gordon Moseley, Carey Griffith, Ramesh Sunich, Steve Ninvalle and Shahabadeen Ahmad. Kaieteur Thunders - David Harper, Alfred Mentore, Lennox Cush, Anthony Rigby, Sheik Mohammed, Orin Forde, Reon King, Colin Stuart, Lloyd Harper, Sanjeev Datadin, Khemraj Ramjattan, Dr Frank Anthony, Jumo Primo, Tony Najab, Basil Williams, Lakeram ‘Mike’ Singh, Alfred King and Clifton Hickens.

Benaud offered chance to commentate from home SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) - Australia’s voice of cricket Richie Benaud has been offered the chance to commentate on Test matches from his home this year if he is not well enough to get to the grounds, according to broadcaster Channel Nine. The 83-year-old former Australia captain has been absent from the commentary box since crashing his car into a low wall as he

drove to his home in the Sydney beachside suburb of Coogee last October. Channel Nine chief executive David Gyngell said his desire to have Benaud on board for the four-Test series against India later this year meant the offer to broadcast from home was a serious option. “If he’s not up to calling from the ground this summer, I’d like him to call from home,” Gyngell told

weeks, these facilities will be completed.” The Anti-Doping Room was not in the initial planning stage of the facility “but it is a necessity”, King explained. Last week, King had said that the contracting company – Dookies Construction - that was given the contract for the Clubhouse which is being constructed between the North Eastern and North Western spectators stands was way behind schedule and a decision will have to be made regarding its contract. The company King had said does not have a timely

supply of materials and also does not have the right skill sets or the right machinery to get the job done correctly and in a timely manner. Asked about the seats that are to be installed and when that phase will start, King said his ministry and the consultants are currently looking at the proposals and are reviewing the designs. Meanwhile, King assurd that 95 percent of the access and internal roads have been completed as well as 80 percent of the perimeter road and these works he said should be completed in a matter of days. The perimeter fence, the ticket booths and security building have all been completed.

Teenager gatecrashes Serena and Federer party By Larry Fine NEW YORK, USA (Reuters) - Despite boasting 34 grand slam singles titles between them, Serena Williams and Roger Federer were forced to share the spotlight with a 15-year-old at the U.S. Open on Tuesday as all three advanced to the second round. American wild card Catherine Bellis, the youngest player in the draw, took her place alongside the fivetime U.S. champions by

stunning 12th seeded Australian Open finalist Dominica Cibulkova of Slovakia 6-1, 4-6, 6-4. The second-seeded Federer, looking to extend his record men’s haul of slam titles to 18, posted a 6-3, 6-4,, 7-6 (4) demolition of Australian Marinko Matosevic as the 33-year-old’s boyhood idol Michael Jordan of basketball fame looked on. “He was just my hero of all sports,” said Federer, who has collaborated with Jordan on a sneakers

Catherine Bellis design. “Besides (Stefan)

Edberg and (Boris) Becker being my tennis idols, I had Jordan as my allsports idol.” Williams advanced 6-3, 6-1 over unseeded fellow American Taylor Townsend as she followed Federer onto the Arthur Ashe Stadium court to cap the second day of the championships. Should she go on to win the tournament, the twotime defending champion would join Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova in fourth place on the all-time

list of women’s grand slam singles champions with 18 titles apiece. “Hopefully, I can just build on this,” said Williams, who has had a disappointing slam season with her best result a fourth-round exit at the Australian Open back in January. Margaret Court (24), Steffi Graf (22) and Helen Wills Moody (19) are the only three women to have won more grand slam titles. ENERGY JOLT Other leading contenders were keen to display their skills on a sunny day in Flushing Meadows. Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova and runner-up Eugenie Bouchard launched their Open campaigns with a bang, blasting by their respective first-round opponents with a minimum of fuss. They were joined in the second round by eighth-seeded former world number one Ana Ivanovic, 11th-seeded Italian Flavia Pennetta, 16th seed Victoria Azarenka and 2011 champion Sam Stosur, but the biggest jolt of energy was supplied by Bellis. Playing on the secondary Court Six, the teenager added her name to the record books by becoming the youngest female to win a match at the U.S. Open since Anna Kournikova in 1996. “I went into the match thinking it was going to be such a great experience,” said the pony-tailed Bellis, who received her wild card when she became the youngest player to win the girls’ 18s national championships since Lindsay Davenport in 1991. “But I never thought I would come out on top winning. I’m still in shock about that match.” Third-seeded Kvitova of the Czech Republic crushed Kristina Mladenovic of France 6-1, 6-0, while Bouchard was nearly as efficient in dismissing Olga Govortsova of Belarus 6-2, 6-1 in the afternoon sunshine. “I’m very happy. First round is always nerves,” said the hard-hitting Kvitova, who won the lead-in

tournament in New Haven last weekend. “It was the same today. When I wake up, I start to feel nervous. I was just glad how I played today.” BOUCHARD CONFIDENT Kvitova fell at the first hurdle here after winning her first Wimbledon crown in 2011. “The other grand slams are a big challenge for me right now. I remember 2011 when I lost my first round after winning Wimbledon, so I’m just glad that I’m better already,” she said with a smile. The 20-year-old Bouchard, the only woman to reach the semi-finals of the year’s first three majors, answered questions over her hardcourt form with an overwhelming win. Seventh-seeded Bouchard, who won one match in three events since losing to Kvitova at the All England Club last month as she was bothered by knee and hamstring injuries, ripped 19 winners and forced 24 errors from an outclassed Govortsova. “Obviously I would have liked more matches, but that’s the way it is sometimes,” said the aggressive baseliner. “I still feel very confident with myself.” Another seeded woman shown the exit was former French Open winner Svetlana Kuznetsova (20th) of Russia, who lost to 82nd-ranked Marina Erakovic of New Zealand 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 (3). On the men’s side, 10th seed Kei Nishikori of Japan, 13th-seeded American John Isner and 25th seed Ivo Karlovic of Croatia were among first-round winners. Nishikori shrugged off a recent toe injury to dismiss American wild card Wayne Odesnik, while Isner ousted compatriot Marcos Giron and Karlovic eliminated Jarkko Nieminen of Finland. Although five of eight U.S. men in action were eliminated, Sam Querrey gave local fans something to celebrate with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 win over Maximo Gonzalez of Argentina.

de Villiers, du Plessis double act seals S. Africa win

HARARE, Zimbabwe (Reuters) - AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis struck sublime centuries as South Africa chased down a massive score to beat Australia by seven wickets in the second one-day international of the triangular series yesterday. The pair put on 206 for the third wicket, the highest South Africa partnership against Australia, as the Proteas reached their victory target of 328 with 20 balls to spare at the Harare Sports Club home of series hosts Zimbabwe. It eclipsed the 187 put on by Herchelle Gibbs and Graeme Smith as they famously chased down 434 at The Wanderers in 2006, and was no less impressive for the skill shown by the pair as they scored all around the ground. After South Africa won the toss and elected to bowl, Australia showed great acceleration at the end of their innings

to post 327 for seven in 50 overs, with opener Aaron Finch crashing 102 from 116 balls. But it was not enough as the Proteas recovered from a wobble at 51 for two to reach their target with some ease on a wicket that got flatter as the day wore on. For du Plessis it was a first ODI century as he recorded 106 from 98 balls and made a mockery of recent criticism over his slow strike-rate in limited overs cricket with a fine display of finesse and power-hitting. Captain de Villiers rode his luck after offering simple chances to Mitchell Johnson and George Bailey that were dropped when he had 78 and 85 respectively, and battled on through severe cramp to score 136 not out from 106 balls. It is a welcome return to form for the right-hander, who had scored only 29 runs in three innings in Test and ODI cricket on the tour before this match, and is

the second highest score by a South African against Australia in limited overs matches. JP Duminy scored an unbeaten 33 at better than a run-a-ball to help de Villiers steer the Proteas home. Finch was the anchor for Australia’s innings as they again had to do without injured captain Michael

Raina lashes century as India thrash sorry England LONDON, England (Reuters) - Suresh Raina helped India claim first blood in the one-day international series against England, hitting an impressive century in the tourists’ rain-affected 133-run victory in Cardiff. England made a promising start, reducing India to 19-2, and then curbing India’s mid-innings revival, with James Tredwell dismissing danger men Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane after they had put on 91. But as soon as MS Dhoni, coming in at 132-4, found his bearings, the complexion of the Indian innings - and the match - changed. India’s captain hit a runa-ball half-century before being bowled through the gate by Chris Woakes in the penultimate over, while

Suresh Raina raises his fourth ODI hundred in Cardiff yesterday.

Raina, his partner, scored a magnificent 74-ball 100, holing out to James Anderson at deep cover the delivery after reaching the milestone, as the tourists finished on 304-6. It was a miserable match for England’s Chris Jordan, who conceded 12 wides in his 10 overs, which cost 73 runs. Tredwell (2-42) and Woakes, who took four for 52 runs, were the pick of the England bowlers. But their batsmen, chasing a revised target of 295 from 47 overs, never looked comfortable from the moment Alastair Cook was dismissed after putting on 54 in good time with fellow opener, ODI debutant Alex Hales. Wickets, like the rain, fell at regular intervals thereafter, and India completed a comprehensive vic-

Carmichael enjoying debut season with HTCC and Sabina in England By Calvin Roberts

MALTEENOES Sports Club allrounder Kellon Carmichael is enjoying a bumper debut season with Hadleigh and Thundersley Cricket Club (HTCC) in England, having racked up 720 runs inclusive of an unbeaten ton and taken 64 wickets with a best of 7 for 16. In an invited comment with Chronicle Sport via the social medium www. facebook.com, the 25-year-old Carmichael, who was also a member of the victorious Guyana Under-19 team that won the West Indies Cricket Board Regional championships in 2007, said it has been a wonderful experience for him. He has chalked up two unbeaten innings from the 27 times he strolled to the middle to bat for HTCC and Sabina Cricket Club, with one of them being an even 100 against Coventry while playing for Sabina and got another unbeaten ton, 111, in a midweek practice game against Belhus Cricket Club. His best bowling figures were recorded against Bardoli Cricket Club who were at the time playing against HTCC. “So far it has been a wonderful experience for me. I’ve learnt a whole lot especially in the batting aspect, since it was very hard for me to score runs when the season started but as I got familiar with the conditions it became a bit easier for me. “I must say I’m disappointed a bit because I missed out in scoring some big runs at times, as I got out in the 40s six times and once in the 70s when I knew I could have pressed on and gotten many

Kellon Carmichael acknowledges the applause of his teammates and the spectators, after he reached another half-century for Hadleigh and Thundersley Cricket Club of England. more runs for my team and myself,” said Carmichael. He added, “My bowling has been outstanding so far. I am the leading wicket-

taker for both teams that I have represented thus far, since I took 45 wickets for HTCC from 22 games and 19 from 7 games for Sabina. As I said earlier, the conditions here are very conducive for my bowling and my consistency has helped me a lot with my success with the ball, for which I am thankful.” Quizzed on his ambitions while in England, Carmichael, like so many local cricketers who would have gone overseas to represent their adopted clubs, said he is looking to ensure both HTCC and Sabina finish in the top three of their respective leagues. “With the season coming to an end my main goal is to help the two teams I play for finish in the top three in their respective leagues and at the moment, HTCC is currently in third position in the Essex Shepherd and Neame division one league. As for Sabina, they are currently in the second position in the South London division one Sunday League, with the possibility of taking that title being great, once we win our last two games, for which I am hoping to help them do by continuing with the rich vein of form that I am presently in.” On the local scene, Carmichael is hoping to break into Guyana’s Regional four-day side for this year end, WICB Regional four-day first class season, while he hopes the selectors will see things his way, since he will be missing the Demerara trials scheduled for later in the week at Everest Cricket Club ground, due to his overseas commitments with both HTCC and Sabina.

China’s Peng upsets fourth seed Radwanska By Larry Fine

NEW YORK, USA (Reuters) - Chinese doubles specialist Peng Shuai supplied a shocking start to the second round of the U.S. Open by upsetting fourth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland 6-3, 6-4 on a hot, humid Wednesday at Flushing Meadows. The doubles world number one used piercing, twofisted groundstrokes to put Radwanska on the defensive and claimed the biggest scalp of the tournament so far on her third match point with a backhand crosscourt winner that brushed the corner lines. Radwanska, winner in the Montreal hardcourt run-up to the U.S. Open and a semi-finalist at this year’s Australian Open, saved a match point in the ninth game to hold serve for 5-4 and fended off another in the next game before Peng’s last winner. The 28-year-old Peng, the French Open doubles champion and 2013 Wimbledon doubles winner who is still seeking her first career WTA Tour singles title, registered 28 winners in the 96-minute match at Louis Armstrong Stadium. “I had two match points and didn’t make it,” Peng said in an on-court interview about two backhand errors

that prolonged the match. “But I just said ‘fight, fight’ and it’s an amazing time for me,” added Peng, who has 16 career doubles wins and

(Credit: Reuters/ Mike Segar) in February became the first Chinese player to become a world number one in tennis. The Chinese, ranked 39th in singles, will play 28th seed Roberta Vinci in the third round. The Italian, also a renowned doubles player, advanced with a 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 win against IrinaCamelia Begu of Romania. World number two Simona Halep of Romania beat the heat by hurrying past Jana Cepelova of Slovakia 6-2, 6-1 to reach the third round.

Halep, who overcame U.S. college champion Danielle Collins in the opening round after losing a first-set tiebreaker, wasted little time as temperatures soared. “I started to be more aggressive and hit the ball,” said second seed Halep. “I feel great now that I could win so fast today because it’s so hot outside.” Halep, the French Open runner-up, will next meet either Shahar Peer of Israel or Croatian Mirjana LucicBaroni. Johanna Larsson of Sweden sent another seed to the exits with a 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 upset of 21st-seeded American Sloane Stephens, a 2013 Australian Open semi-finalist. Also advancing to the third round was 22nd seed Alize Cornet of France, a 6-3, 6-3 winner over 37thranked Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia. On the men’s side, sixth seed Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic dismissed 2001 U.S. Open champion Lleyton Hewitt of Australia 6-3, 6-4, 6-3 in his openinground match in Arthur Ashe Stadium. Marin Cilic of Croatia, the 14th seed, and 19thseeded Spaniard Feliciano Lopez advanced in abbreviated fashion. Cilic was ahead 6-3, 3-1

when Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus retired with a leg injury, and Lopez was declared the winner at 1-1 in the fifth set when Croat Ivan Dodig was unable to continue. Peng said she received some positive support from fans before the match against Radwanska. “A lot of fans (tell) me in the e-mail that I play her four times and the only time I win was in the U.S. Open four years ago,” related Peng. “So maybe I saw the luck may be coming back today.” The Chinese, who entered the contest 3-22 lifetime against top-five opponents, was masterful in the turning points of the match. Peng won three of five break points against Radwanska who succeeded only once in seven opportunities to break. “Every game was pretty tight and a lot of rallies,” lamented a disappointed Radwanska. “So every game could have gone either way. But in the important moments I think she was just playing a little bit better.” Peng, with six career singles runner-up finishes, including this year in Shenzhen, will be aiming to improve on her best grand slam singles result having reached the fourth round four times, including at this year’s Wimbledon.

Brazilian named BFA technical director BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) – Barbados have appointed Brazilian Marcos Falopa as their new Technical Director, on a six-month contract. The 65-year-old, a former Technical Director

Brazilian Marcos Falopa of the South African FA, arrives in the post hoping to boost a country currently sagging at 169th in the FIFA World Rankings. Significantly, Falopa has been installed just weeks ahead of the first qualification round of the CFU Caribbean Cup, and he believes if the national senior team put in the work required, they can not only qualify for the eight-team final in Jamaica but also reach the final four. “Why does Barbados not make it? This is the question for me. I want to help in the football here but I need your help. The media is very important, coaches are very important, boys and girls playing football are very important,” he told reporters here. “(Barbados) is no

different from Jamaica’s boys, no different from the Canadian boys, no different from Brazilian boys. Their level of football I can say is not top but if they work hard we can get to the semifinals.” Falopa faces a Herculean task with a side that have never reached the final four and boast a less than stellar record in the region’s premier football tournament. In the last Caribbean Cup two years ago, Barbados failed to get out of the first round of qualifiers, after finishing second behind Dominican Republic in Group Four held in Bridgetown. They suffered a similar fate in the 2010 campaign, finishing third in their first round qualifying group. Falopa, a former technical director with the continental governing body for North, Central America and the Caribbean (CONCACAF), says he also intended to focus heavily on coaching and building Barbados’ football from the club level. “Coaching at the club level is very important because they deal with players every day so they will have a much better idea about their development than even the national coach who works with the players occasionally,” he stressed. “Some of the best players come from communities all over the world and the same could be true of Barbados.”

LABA to recognise GABF suspension of players By Rawle Toney AFTER rejecting the suspension of Dwayne Roberts and Shane Webster by the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF), the Linden Amateur Basketball Association (LABA) has agreed to make sure the suspension of players is carried out after a meeting between the two custodians of the game last Sunday. Roberts, who plays for Retrieve Raiders, and Amelia’s Ward Jets centre Webster were teammates on Guyana’s senior National Men’s basketball team that participated at the Caribbean Basketball Confederation (CBC). Despite the team finishing a creditable sixth place, the off-the-court gimmicks and rebellion against the Nigel

Hinds-led GABF, due to stipend owed, led to the entire team receiving fines and suspension; some more severe than others. Webster was fined $40 000 for dissent and for keeping

Dwayne Roberts their uniforms which, if he does not return by February 1, 2015 an additional $70 000 will be added. Roberts, according to the

GABF, played a leading role in usurping the authority of management and refused to return any uniform and was suspended for one year and fined $80 000. An additional fine of $70 000 will be imposed on the dominant power forward if he fails to honour the stipulated deadline. However, LABA was reluctant to honour the suspension of the players who play for clubs affiliated to them, owing to the fact that LABA wasn’t written to directly and only learnt of the suspension via the media. But the source told Chronicle Sport that the GABF president, along with Dennis Clarke, visited the mining community and held a meeting with LABA. Clarke’s presence was questioned since he holds no affiliation to the GABF but sat

in the deliberation between the country’s governing body and

Shane Webster its sub-association. “LABA questioned certain irregularities on how the decision to suspend the players came about and why the players weren’t called into a meeting and placed before a disciplinary committee,” the source said. Also, the source said,

that LABA was curious about the involvement of Michael Singh, president of the Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association (GABA) who had resigned and publically renounced his ties to basketball in Guyana but sat in the meeting which was held to suspend the players. The source pointed out that it’s their understanding that Hinds told LABA that the GABF did not accept Singh’s resignation though the Linden body asked why this information was not given the same prominence like the player’s suspension in the media. With regard to the Coaches Report, the source said that when LABA asked why the assistant coach Kevin Joseph wasn’t invited to give a report LABA was told that Mark Agard gave a verbal

report. “I never heard of any decision coming off a verbal report from a coach yet.” Nonetheless, LABA, according to the source, will adhere to the GABF’s suspension of the players but will address all matters when the General Council meets in September. Nigel Hinds when contacted and asked to comment on the meeting, told Chronicle Sport, “Ask LABA to comment. I think they will be in a better position”. While LABA secretary Joe Chapman could not be reached for a comment, president Haslyn Graham said that he was ignorant of any of the facts of the meeting but said that he should be receiving an update from Chapman and the other executives who were present at the meeting.

T&T Cricket Board lauds Denesh Ramdin PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad The Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) has hailed the performance of West Indies Test team captain Denesh Ramdin who hit a record-equalling 169 in the third and final One Day International match against Bangladesh on Monday in Warner Park, St Kitts. Ramdin, the TT captain and wicketkeeper, slammed eight fours and 11 sixes in a 121-ball innings that draw him level with batting legend and compatriot Brian Lara for the highest ODI score by a West Indies batsman playing at home. Batting first, the West Indies clattered 338 for seven wickets with Darren Bravo also scoring a century 124 (7x4, 8x6) in the allotted 50 overs. When Bangladesh replied, only captain Mushfiqur Rahim (72) and Tammin Iqbal (55) made any sizeable contributions as Ravi Rampaul grabbed four wickets for 29 runs to restrict the visitors to 247-8. “The TT Cricket Board extends our congratulations and best wishes to Denesh Ramdin for yet another outstanding batting display which enabled the West Indies to sweep the One Day International series 3-0 against the touring Bangladeshis,” said TTCB president Azim Bassarath. “It is a tribute to the hard work and commitment of Denesh that he has been able to produce this season the kind of form and to show the unique talent and promise we at the TTCB had recognised many years

ago,” said Bassarath. Ramdin is a product of the successful TTCB programmes and age group competitions which have also produced top class cricketers of the calibre of Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo, the regional ODI captain, Ravi Rampaul, Lendl Simmons, Sunil Narine and Darren Bravo. Last season, Ramdin was elevated to the position of national captain which represented the latest chapter in the history of the young cricketer who has been groomed for leadership by the TTCB since his teenaged years.

CFU Women’s Caribbean Cup

T&T edge Jamaica to take inaugural title PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) – Trinidad and Tobago edged arch-rivals Jamaica 1-0 in the final of the Caribbean Football Union Women’s Caribbean Cup, to claim the inaugural title here Tuesday. An eighth minute strike from tournament Most Valuable Player Mariah Shade separated the teams after 90 minutes, leaving the hosts to celebrate with their fans at the Hasely Crawford Stadium. There was also success for Haiti who trounced Martinique 5-1 in the all-French third playoff at the same venue in the preceding encounter. Kensie Bobo scored a hattrick, under-pinning a secondhalf domination after Haiti held a 2-0 lead at the halftime whistle. It was the final, however, which took centre stage. Both teams started strongly, with the Reggae Girlz making an early impression. However, the hosts got on the

scoresheet with their first real attack when Shade eluded her marker, controlled a ball over the top and calmly slotted past goalkeeper Nicole McClure. Jamaica applied pressure and twice came close to levelling before half-time. In the 19th minute, the prolific Shakira Duncan was set through on goal by Jodi-Ann McGregor only for defender Arin King to foil the move. Then, five minutes before the break Christina Murray was gifted time and space to get off a longrange shot with goalkeeper Kimika Forbes having wandered off her line, but the shot flew wide of the uprights. Early in the second half, Jamaica struck the uprights through Duncan and then squandered three chances in the last ten minutes to level the encounter, with substitute

Shaneka Gordon the shooter on two occasions. She first had a shot pushed wide in the 84th minute and then drilled another shot wide of the uprights, two minutes later. Jamaica could have equalised in the 90th minute but Donna-Kay Henry failed to get her shot on target. Earlier, Bobo put Haiti ahead in the 15th minute before Wilsin Dolce doubled the lead on the stroke of halftime. Bobo stretched the lead to 3-0 with a 47th minute goal but Martinique pulled one back through Kelly Brena in the 64th minute. However, any hopes of a comeback were squashed when Manoucheka Pierre-Louis pumped in the fourth goal in the 70th minute. Bobo finished off the rout by completing her hat-trick in the 72nd minute.

Leonora synthetic facility almost fully functional … Sports Ministry eyeing early opening By Michael DaSilva

The National Synthetic Track, located at Leonora, West Coast Demerara

WORKS on Guyana’s first-ever synthetic track and facilities are almost complete and the Ministry of Sports is eyeing an official opening very soon. This is according to Permanent Secretary within the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport Alfred King who sat with Chronicle Sport last week and explained what works have been completed and what was left to be done for the Leonora facility to become fully functional. King said that the actual 400-metre track is 100 percent complete, including the markings of the lanes and starting points for the various events. The international-size football field which is situated inside the track is also

100 per cent complete and is well manicured, making it playable right now. However, King pointed out that at the moment, the facility is not fully functional, since work is ongoing on the athletes and officials’ changing rooms which are situated beneath the North Eastern and North Western spectators stands, which are 90 to 95 percent completed with only the rails for the stands and the painting of the two stands to be done. These two phases of the work will be completed in a matter of weeks, King stated. Asked if athletes can use the facility for training purposes now, King explained “We don’t want it to be used at the moment since it’s not fully functional, meaning, the toilets and bathrooms

facilities are not 100 percent completed, so we don’t want to have our athletes use the facility and then they get a call of nature and have no place to relieve themselves.” The Permanent Secretary is however optimistic that these facilities will be ready in about three weeks, since the firm contracted to do these works - Builders Hardware – is well ahead of its time frame for completion. “They are responsible for the athletes and officials changing rooms as well as the Anti-Doping room with bathrooms and toilets and they are 65 percent complete as we speak. “ King stated, adding “So in another few
