Culture Ministry donates $8.125M to 88 organisations for Emancipation activities By Rebecca Ganesh-Ally
THE Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports has distributed some $8.125M to eighty-eight organisations from across Guyana in regard to the imminent Emancipation activities. As customary, a Libation Ceremony was conducted by Bishop Andrew, and he invited the ancestors to witness and participate in the cele-
bration. He explained, using ‘rice’, that this can be termed as one’s past from which one has learnt what one knows, and therefore it should be thrown over one’s shoulders. And he said that white peas signifies the future, and should be planted together so as to bring the nation together as a community. After his explanations, a ceremonial dance was done to offer patronage to the an-
cestors, and depict the works done by the ancestors. As was explained, monies collected by the various groups or organisations would be used to maintain and sustain the life of the African culture, as well as to assist in programmes and other activities.

Congress Place shooting...
Alleged gunman arrested at CJIA in departure bid - reportedly not licensed to carry a gun
By Leroy Smith
Linden Primo, the alleged gunman in Sunday’s shooting at Congress Place
QUICK action by alert police ranks in “A” Division saw them swooping down on the Cheddi Jagan International Airport at Timehri Tuesday and arresting alleged Congress Place shooter, Linden Primo as he tried to depart Guyana for the United States. Primo is the man who allegedly discharged his firearm at Congress Place on Sunday when he panicked as voters and delegates threw down a barricade separating them from the Returning Officer. The Guyana Chronicle was reliably informed by airport sources that investigators, who were looking for Primo since Sunday, received word that he was scheduled to leave the country on Tuesday night. The police then put in place the necessary arrangements to nab the man as he made his bid for a flight to freedom. He was arrested and taken into police custody, where he remained up until late yesterday. This publication was informed that the weapon the man discharged at the Peoples National Congress Reform Headquarters in Sophia during the Party’s Congress was not his.
The weapon is reportedly registered to a mining company at which the man works as a security officer. It was also noted that although he was not the holder of a firearm licence, the man does have the power to carry the Company’s weapon while executing duties on the Company’s behalf. There are provisions on that company’s licence which cover the man in that respect. However, on Sunday when the incident occurred, he was not performing any duties for the mining company when he discharged the weapon, sending PNCR delegates and other supporters scampering for cover as they feared for their lives. The shooting was condemned by many persons at Congress Place. They were of the view that the discharge of the weapon was unnecessary. Since the shooting, the police were looking to locate the now arrested man and his employer, who were both missing in action up to Tuesday afternoon. It is not clear if the police have been able to arrest the man’s employer. Up to late yesterday, the police were moving to have the mining company produce the firearm which was assigned to the man, so that it can be examined and tests can be carried out.
Cabinet takes dim view of unlawful disposal of assets - by defunct cooperatives, friendly societies By Telesha Ramnarine HEAD of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon, said yesterday that the Cooperatives and Friendly Societies Sector is now troubled, and that this has quite a bit to do with defunct and near defunct entities. He said further that Cabinet was recently informed that disposal of the assets of the defunct cooperatives and friendly societies was being undertaken by means other than those prescribed by the law. “Cabinet took an exceedingly dim view of those practices, and has in essence endorsed the recommendations of its
labour sub-committee; the recommendation called for aggressive enforcement of those applicable provisions in the act with regards to the winding up of defunct cooperatives and friendly societies,” Luncheon disclosed to his weekly post-Cabinet press briefing. Speaking at the Office of the President complex in Georgetown, he said Cabinet recognized that this aggressive approach would need to be supported by forensic audits and consultancies, and has accordingly approved them. “This matter came to Cabinet’s attention because the assets generally involved land, and in Guyana land is quite an emotive
subject. Acquisition and ownership oftentimes can lead to enormous trials and tribulations to those who are involved. “In the case of the defunct cooperatives and friendly societies, a pattern evolved, or was seen to be evolving, where individuals purporting to exercise some authority on behalf of these defunct societies, and particularly their membership, were engaged in the disposal of these immovable assets. “Some of them have already been brought to the attention of the court. Our emphasis is on the infringement of the act. There is irrefutable evidence that this spectre of unauthorized il-
legal behaviour is actually accelerating,” Dr Luncheon said. He pointed out that the establishment and growth of this sector has been enabled by constitutional provisions and by statute. “The administration and the regulation of the sector has been statutorily assigned; and the Ministry of Labour, Human Services and Social Security, specifically the division in labour that is, has been the centre of those operations. “You should know that there is no lack of statutory requirements and process where winding up is concerned. It is fully elaborated in the act,” Dr Luncheon declared.

Gaza conflict: ‘Israeli Ukraine conflict: market strike kills 17’ Russia faces more sanctions, warns G7 (BBC News) AT LEAST 17 people have been killed and 160 wounded in an Israeli strike that hit a fruit and vegetable market near Gaza City, Palestinian officials say. Hundreds of people were shopping in the market in Shejaiya, a spokesman for the Gaza health ministry said. The attack came during a four-hour truce called by the Israeli military. Hamas, which controls Gaza, had rejected the truce as meaningless. Meanwhile, Israel said three more of its soldiers had been killed in Gaza. Palestinian doctors also said that another Israeli air strike after the partial humanitarian ceasefire was announced had killed seven people in Khan Younis. Earlier, the UN said Israel had attacked a UN-run school housing refugees in Gaza, despite warnings that civilians were there. Fifteen people were killed and dozens hurt. The White House condemned the attack and said it was “extremely concerned” that Palestinians were not safe at shelters despite being told to evacuate their homes by Israel’s army. More than 1,300 Palestinians and 58 Israelis have now died in the conflict. Most of the Palestinian deaths have been of civilians.
Hundreds of people were said to have been out shopping
Fifty-six Israeli soldiers have been killed along with two civilians. A Thai worker in Israel has also died. The Israeli military said that the three soldiers killed on Wednesday died in a booby-trapped building. ‘Media exploitation’ Correspondents say many people in Gaza were unaware the partial ceasefire had been called. Witnesses at the scene of the market strike in Shejaiya spoke of smoke billowing over the site, with ambulances racing victims to hospital. A journalist who worked for a local news agency was reported to have been killed.

One witness, Salim Qadoum, told Associated Press: “The area now is like a bloodbath, everyone is wounded or killed. People lost their limbs and were screaming for help. It’s a massacre.” The Palestinian al-Aqsa satellite TV channel quoted Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhum as saying that the market attack required “an earth-shattering response”. The Israeli military had said the ceasefire would last between 15:00 (12:00 GMT) and 19:00. However, it had warned that the truce would only apply to areas where Israeli soldiers were not currently operating, and it told residents not to return to areas they had previously been asked to evacuate.

G7 LEADERS say Russia will face further economic sanctions if it continues to support rebels in Ukraine. In a statement on Wednesday, the group said Russia had undermined “Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence.” The warning came after the EU added eight more Russians to its sanctions. E a r l i e r, R u s s i a d e scribed new US and EU sanctions as “destructive and short-sighted”, and said they would lead to higher energy prices in Europe. The G7 group of economic powers includes the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Britain. Its leaders said Russia could still “choose the path of de-escalation,” but warned President Putin that he would face greater economic costs if he continued to back Ukrainian separatists. They also called on all sides to establish a ceasefire at the crash site of the Malaysian Airlines jet that

was shot down on 17 July in eastern Ukraine. Russia has come under increased pressure to end its support for the rebels, who Western governments believe were behind the downing of MH17, killing all 298 people on board. Mr Putin has also been accused by the US and EU of supplying heavy weapons to the rebels - a charge his government has denied. On Tuesday, the US announced new economic sanctions against Russia, widening their scope to include three key sectors of the economy - energy, arms and finance. The EU is also expanding its sanctions, targeting t h e o i l s e c t o r, d e f e n c e equipment and sensitive technologies. Details of new EU sanctions are due to be published on Thursday. Russia’s foreign ministry said the US sanctions would aggravate relations between the two countries, and attacked new EU restrictions as “thoughtless and irresponsible.”

Father, mother, son Customs revamps programme killed by garbage truck on Uriah to protect Ja borders, revenue Butler Highway FAMILY TRAGEDY
(Trinidad Express) A BARRACKPORE mother, who gave life to her son by donating a kidney four years ago, died along with the child and her husband in an accident Tuesday. Nanda Ramcharan, 36, her husband Mahadeo and their 13-year-old son Nyron were returning home when the incident occurred along the south-bound lane of Uriah Butler Highway, near En-
test, police said. Relatives said Nanda Ramcharan and her 48-yearold husband made the journey to Mt Hope with their second-born son on Tuesdays and Fridays for treatment. They have two surviving sons, Rikash, 17, and Nigel, 12. The Express arrived at the family’s home as they received news of the acci-
dent yesterday. The sons screamed out for their parents and brother. Rikash Ramcharan had to be supported by his cousins. Nanda Ramcharan’s sister, Marilyn Sundar-Rampersad, said, “My son, Cruz, got married this weekend and today was supposed to be the final rites when we throw all the things used in the ceremony in the sea. We were preparing for this. Nanda said she would come back around 2 p.m.

deavour Flyover, Chaguanas, around 1.45 p.m. The couple had taken their ailing son for dialysis treatment at Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, Mt Hope, and were returning to their Ramsabad Trace, Rochard Road, Penal home. Police said a white Mitsubishi Lancer was proceeding north along the highway when it collided with a blue garbage truck. The driver of the truck lost control, causing the vehicle to spin out of control. The truck crossed the median and landed on the Ramcharans’ blue Honda Civic. The couple and their son died on impact. Police said the truck driver and loader suffered minor injuries and were taken to Chaguanas Health Facility. The driver of the Lancer escaped unhurt. He was taken into police custody and administered a breathalyser
(Jamaica Observer) THE Jamaica Customs Agency (JCA) has launched its revamped Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) Programme aimed at protecting the country’s borders and revenue. Part of the World Customs Organisation’s (WCO) framework of standards to secure and facilitate global trade, the AEO is designed to encourage compliance and reduce security risks by certifying all relevant personnel within the importation and exportation chain. The system rewards compliant economic operators and focuses resources on potentially unsafe and high-risk entities and individuals. The implementation of this system will allow for operators to have a working partnership with Customs, which will improve Cus-
toms-to-client relationship, customer service and the business processes of the JCA. Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce Anthony Hylton said the system will serve as a catalyst for improving the ease and speed of doing business and for moving goods or services across borders, therefore boosting the country’s competitiveness. “The ease and speed of doing business has always been one of the greatest inhibitors to international trade. The AEO programmme removes that barrier by operating a system of mutual trust and streamlined customs procedures to accelerate the flow of goods and services across borders,” he said during the official launch held at the Jamaica Conference Centre, down-
town Kingston, The minister noted that the programme also ensures the integrity of Jamaica’s supply and value chain model, which is at the core of the country’s economic growth agenda. “The programme ensures predictability in importation and by extension, production time frames; a critical component to the production process. Trusted importers and exporters can circumvent the lengthy wait between arrival of shipment in the country and actual receipt of goods, not just in Jamaica but in other AEO countries within the European Union and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC),” he said. As Jamaica moves to become a logistics-centred economy, the AEO will play a key role, Hylton said.

EDITORIAL
GUYANA
The nature of the beast THE LEOPARD cannot change its spots, nor its nature, because it is a predatory animal; likewise the PNC, which has demonstrated this time and again through the corridors of this nation’s history. But despite the fact of this reality being proven repeatedly, even in instances where its own supporters have become victims of the entire Opposition construct – such as the recurrent imbroglios at their successive congresses, budget cuts that impede social development, and the non-passage of the AML/ CFT Bill – et al, Guyanese are still allowing themselves to be fooled by the deceitful rhetoric of the joint Opposition and their partners in the media corps, NGO’s etcetera. Today there is despair in the soul of the nation; that is, that section of Guyanese who recognise the strides that the country
has been making, the upward mobility in their own lives and lifestyles, and the great but hitherto untapped potential Guyana possesses to propel this nation into a dynamo of progress under a PPP/C administration: The reason for this despair is that this country would seemingly forever be burdened by the albatross of the successive anti-nationalistic, destructive, unpatriotic opposition configurations that – in a continuum of anti-developmental, unpatriotic actions and rhetoric, would forever be the extant impediment to individual and national social development and economic growth. And currently one of the primary concerns is the passage of the AML/ CFT Bill, with the nation being held to ransom by the joint Opposition. The amendment the opposition proposes seeks to give Police and customs officers the power to seize currency of over
$2M (US$10,000) in cash, cheques or value, such as money orders, jewelry, gold, bills of exchange, negotiable instruments, precious metals and gems, etcetera, and arrest persons if it is suspected that it is the proceeds of money laundering. These officers would also be vested with the powers to invade homes and business places, at any hour, to ransack private spaces for what would then be contraband; as in the good old days of yore under PNC administration, when almost every householder became a criminal under the PNC’s Draconian rule. Then also the question of the integrity of mandated officers is in doubt, and numerous incidences abound - of monies, jewelry and other items seized by law enforcement and customs officers with only partial, or in some instances non-delivery of these items to designated author-
ities; the time-consuming, frustrating, expensive process of recovery, most often through the courts by the legitimate owner and/or legal authority will frustrate the process into extinction. This does not take into consideration the dangers posed to home owners and private entrepreneurs, and among the plethora of instances when bandits, pretending to represent a legal entity, force entry into premises then proceed to rob, injure and even kill their victims. One can recall the brutal death of Frank Persaud of Bel Air, who was forced to open his warehouse to bandits posing as Customs officers, only to be killed and robbed. Alternatively, Opposition’s non-support of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Bill would mean blacklisting
by FATF, which will lead to, inter alia, developmental and charitable loans and grants drying up; banking internationally will be impossible; money transfers will freeze; many will lose jobs, as industries will close or minimize operations, among other consequences no less deleterious to the national economy and Guyanese welfare and well-being. The combined parliamentary Opposition’s grandstanding and blackmail for irrational demands to be met has stymied the passage of the amended Bill which currently sits in a Special Parliamentary Select Committee. While Nero fiddled, Rome was engulfed in
flames that destroyed a great empire; likewise Guyana is inexorably facing severe retrogression in its developmental charts: So will the old wine in the old wine bottle – the PNC must stop its gerrymandering and finally put the nation first, accept Government’s continual reaching out for goodfaith consensual positions for national development and economic growth. Only time and unfolding events will tell; albeit the nation has lost hope that this particular leopard will change its natural propensities and disposition for predatory behaviour.
UNDP’s report on Guyana shows improved Human Development I was so disappointed to read the Kaieteur News’ headline “Despite eight years of consecutive growth….Guyana lags behind LatAm, Caribbean in Human Development.” The headline was disappointing, primarily because it made clear its unpatriotic and biased disdain for anything that shows progress in Guyana. I looked at several newscasts that showed clips of the Minister making the point that Guyana is not exactly where it should be in comparison to the Region, but the Human Development Index
[HDI] needs to be looked at within the context of Guyana’s history. The numbers indicate that in 1980 Guyana’s HDI was relative to its regional counterparts at 0.516, but by 1990 that number fell to .505. Guyana’s HDI was among the lowest in the Region while our counterparts were continuing their upward climb! When the current administration took office, it inherited the lowest levels of life expectancy, education, gender equality, access to health care etc. By 1992, the PPP Government had to essential-
ly put Guyana on a road that was long and successfully travelled by regional countries. When we were now starting the race to a high HDI, countries like Trinidad, Barbados and Jamaica were years ahead of us. So when Kaieteur News is going to run the headline it did, it begs the question of 1: Are their reporters illiterates because they cannot understand how to interpret and analyze data? Or 2: Is it just that the editors are malicious and unpatriotic dunces who want to project Guyana as such a poor, non-progressive country? How can
the Kaieteur News, in good conscience, write about the lack of investor confidence, when it is Kaieteur News that is damaging the image of Guyana! Kaieteur News has a clear trend of promoting everything that is unhealthy for Guyana. Not only does it attack large scale projects that are intended to benefit the country, such as the Marriott Hotel, Speciality Hospital, CJIA expansion and Amaila Falls Hydro Projects, but it also serves as the vehicle to attack our professional workforce that is essential to the development of Guyana.
Kaieteur News needs to act responsibly and recognise that it shares the moral and ethical responsibility to the people of Guyana, like all patriotic Guyanese, to contribute to our nation’s development. It is not just the responsibility of Government to promote and develop Guyana, it is every citizen’s responsibility. I am not suggesting that Kaieteur News pretend that everything is fine and dandy with Government or Guyana.But when there is good news, when there is positive news, let us put aside our political differences and biases and
celebrate our victories as a united Guyana. Guyana did well in the Human Development Report. Our growth for the year, when compared to other regional countries, was actually higher than most. We have more gender equality, more educated citizens, a higher life expectancy and a booming economy compared to previous years. There is still work to be done, but there is much to celebrate and to be proud of, given our damaged history. RICHARD PAUL

Plagiarism is bane of journalism I was pleased to see the article captioned “Buxton: Holding fast to its roots and boasting striking historical features” by Alex Wayne, together with the accompanying photographs, in the Guyana Chronicle of July 26, 2014 (http://guyanachronicle.com/category/pepperpot/page/2/). It reminds one of the glorious days of Buxton-Friendship as one of the premier villages in Guyana. However, I am disappointed to note that the writer has copied verbatim several whole paragraphs from an article of mine titled “Buxton-Friendship” (first published in the In the Diaspora column of Stabroek News, http://www. stabroeknews.com/2009/features/daily/11/16/in-the-diaspora-70/, and since reproduced on various websites on the internet), incorrectly identifying the source of two paragraphs as a female villager of Buxton and neither placing the other paragraphs
in quotation marks or acknowledging their source. In my view, this form of plagiarism is unbecoming of a journalist of a national newspaper. I hope the editor of the Chronicle will enlighten this writer on the ethics of the profession and acknowledge the source of these paragraphs. The paragraphs I refer to are as follows: “Indians, who started arriving in the village in the 1890s, emulated the Africans in striving for education and social betterment in the country. By the 1950s, they were scattered throughout the village with concentrated enclaves in the area along the seashore, referred to as Buxton Front, where there were some of the most renowned sea fishermen in the country. On both sides of the railway embankment around the railway station they worked as pawnbrokers and jewellers, and operated clothing and hardware stores; and in the area along Brush Dam they
raised cattle and grew rice in adjoining estate lands. “Most, if not all of them, adhered to Indian cultural traditions, and Buxton could boast of having some of the most educated and finest Indian musicians and singers of Chowtaals, Ramayan and Bhajans. “I remember Saturdays and Mondays as prime market days at the municipal market next to the Post Office, just off Company Road, a stone’s throw from the railway station. The interaction and relationships between Africans and Indians were based on mutual respect and trust, befitting two peoples who depended on the fruits of each other’s labour. “East Indians from the estate areas of Lusignan Pasture and Annandale Sand Reef to the west, and Vigilance to the east would bring their produce of garden vegetables (ochro, bora, calaloo, etc.) to sell to the African villagers who would sell them fruits, plantains and ground provi-
sions (cassava, eddoes, sweet potatoes, etc.). Both groups would then patronise the fishermen and the butchers who operated their stalls in a corner of the market, where the odour was quite distinct. Before noon, the efficient Mr. Brown would have already completed his rounds and collected from vendors all market fees,” she recalled. “Buxton-Friendship’s loss of Indian fishermen and business people was the gain of Annandale and Lusignan. Almost overnight, in the midst of the turmoil and agony of 1964, a market developed in Annandale North’s Centre Street, rechristened “Market Street”. It quickly replaced Buxton’s municipal market as the commercial centre for the surrounding areas; and by 1965, African Buxtonians were also patronizing the vendors in Annandale. Likewise, many of the hardware and clothing stores relocated to Annandale; and the fish-
ermen formerly of Buxton Front became the enterprising fishermen of Lusignan East, where the fishing industry was taken to new heights as the importation of salted cod and canned fish was banned during the period of economic hardship of the 1980s.” HARRY HERGASH EDITOR’S NOTE: The “Guyana Chronicle” wishes to apologize to Mr. Harry Hergash for the partial reproduction of his excellent article without acknowledging him as the author; and while we agree that plagiarism is unconscionable and intolerable in the journalistic profession, the cause of Mr. Alex Wayne’s non-acknowledgement of the source of the paragraphs lies in Mr. Hergash’s own letter to us: “ …and since reproduced on various websites on the internet), incorrectly identifying the source of two paragraphs as
a female villager of Buxton and neither placing the other paragraphs in quotation marks or acknowledging their source.” This happened once to an editor of this newspaper, who is always careful to acknowledge source of material she uses. The only problem was that the source of a thesis, part of which she used, was not quoted in Wikepedia, so she credited Wikepedia. For that she received much flak from the media house that published the original article. Unless and until a solution can be found, where writings are circulating in cyberspace without crediting the original authors and publications, situations will continue to recur during researches for material to boost and authenticate articles. However, the “Guyana Chronicle’ has taken note of this oversight on Mr. Wayne’s part and reiterate our apologies to Mr. Harry Hergash.
Aksharananda has Police treat children at Drop-in mistaken concept Centre to lunch of Buddhism
–in giving back to the communities’ initiative
By Sandy Agasen
DURING the period for the selection of various commissioners for the Ethnic Relations Commission, (ERC) Swami Aksharnanda made it clear that “Buddhism has nothing to do with Hinduism and therefore a Buddhist cannot represent Hindu views”. Many practicing Hindus found this statement to be very strange. More so that, at the same time the statement was made, a hardliner Hindu Prime Ministerial Candidate won the elections in India. Elementary studies of Hinduism will include Sikhism, Jainism and Buddhism as branches of Hinduism, and all authorised by Lord
Krishna the Primal Deity of Hinduism. According to the Bhagvata Gita, Hindus are given the freedom to choose their Deities. “ Arjuna, however men seek me; Even so do I approach them; for all men follow my path in different ways” ( C 4: V 11) In the discussion between Arjuna and Shri Krishna, it is further stated “ Whatever celestial form a devotee chooses to worship with reverence, I stabilise the faith of that particular devotee in that very form. Endowed with such faith he worships that particular deity and obtains through him without doubt his desired enjoyments as ordained by myself.” (C 7: V 21 & 22). All Hindus accept that

Is it hatred or the need to perpetuate Hindu/ Indian Hegemony that prompted the Swami to make such a statement, which was directed towards one of Guyana’s greatest contributors to Peace and social cohesion throughout Guyana?

The Guyana Chronicle duly regrets the error.
Police ‘A’ Division, Number Three Subdivision, which includes Kitty, Alberttown and Prashad Nagar Police Stations, hosted orphaned and abandoned children to a luncheon at the Drop-in Centre for Street Children on Tuesday last. The children, residents of the Drop-in Centre for Street Children, were treated to a luncheon during which the officers interacted with them, some being as young as a year old, while the eldest was approximately 19 years old. Some of these children had special needs. Afterwards the officers served lunch to the children and the caretakers of the institution. This initiative, according to Inspector Griffith-Jacobis, Head of the Number Three Subdivision, is part of the new five-year strategic plan of the Guyana Police Force. She said, “Today, we are here to build our good community/police relationship. We have chosen here because it is a place for the less fortunate… and we are here to show our appreciation to them.”

The officers said that to determine what items were appropriate they asked what was needed, and when a list was provided, they supplied items from the list. The inspector said the three police stations combined their resources to provide the luncheon. She said, “We want the communities to view us not as a force but as a service; and from the response we have received, it is working thus far. People show more appreciation of the work done by the force.” Sergeants Forde, Jack and Webster from the various police stations noted that their
programme is an ongoing one, but is one that will see the Guyana Police Force giving more back to the communities. They also indicated that this would continue to build the police force and partner with the communities. Administrator of the Drop in Centre, Joel Gibson, expressed thanks to the officers on behalf of the centre. In keeping with their resolution of building good community police/relationship, they would be distributing school-related material to the children of Sophia on Sunday, July 3rd, 2014.

Guyana, U.S. reach ‘agreement - Finance in substance’ on FATCA Minister
FINANCE Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh yesterday announced that the Government of Guyana has, in substance, concluded with the Government of the United States of America an intergovernmental agreement for the implementation of the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). As a result of the achievement of this important milestone, Guyana is now listed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury as one of the jurisdictions treated as having an intergovernmental agreement in effect. The conclusion of the
agreement comes after several months of review and negotiation between the U.S. and Guyana authorities on the text of the agreement, and will see the two countries concluding a Model 1 reciprocal agreement within the coming months. FATCA provisions of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act of 2010 (HIRE Act) were enacted in the U.S. on March18, 2010, in order to address concerns over offshore tax evasion. FATCA generally requires a foreign financial institution (FFI) to enter into an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to report
information about certain accounts held by the U.S.,
Finance Minister , Dr Ashni Singh
persons or foreign entities owned by U.S. persons. An FFI that does not enter into an agreement with the IRS will be subject to a 30 per cent withholding tax on certain payments, including U.S. source interest and dividends, and gross proceeds from sales of U.S. securities. Congress enacted FATCA to target non-compliance by U.S. taxpayers using foreign accounts, and the provision has since become the global standard for promoting tax transparency. It requires U.S. financial institutions to withhold a portion of certain payments made to FFIs that do not agree to identify and report information on U.S.
account holders. Governments have two options for complying with FATCA: They can either permit their FFIs to enter into agreement with the IRS, or they can themselves enter into IGAs with the U.S. In Guyana’s case, the latter option was adopted, and an intergovernmental agreement has been entered into with the U.S. On April 4, 2014, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS announced that jurisdictions that have reached agreements in substance with the U.S. on the terms of intergovernmental agreements under the FATCA can be treated as having
agreements in effect until the end of 2014. Minister Singh has indicated that as of June 24, 2014, Guyana attained the status of having “an agreement, in substance”. This development represents a significant achievement in cooperation between Guyana and the U.S. Minister Singh applauded the efforts made by both countries to ensure the timely advancement of the discussions, and has further indicated that Guyana’s authorities will continue to collaborate with their U.S. counterparts through the final signing of the agreement and into its implementation.

Caribbean Heads of Government gathered in St Vincent during the month of March to discuss reparations from Europe for the enduring legacy of slavery. Professor Hilary Beckles, a Barbadian historian who chairs a reparations taskforce for these governments, wants to open talks with former slave-trading nations, including the UK, France, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands. It can also be noted that, in 1999, the African World Reparations and Repatriation Truth Commission called for "the West" to pay $777 trillion to Africa within five years. In 2007, Guyana called for European nations to pay reparations for the slave trade. In 2011, Antigua & Barbuda called for reparations at the United Nations, saying "that segregation and violence against people of African descent had impaired their capacity for advancement as nations, communities and individuals”. In 2012, Jamaica revived its reparations commission to consider the question of whether the country should seek an apology or reparations from Britain for its role in the slave trade.

Old Kai: Chronicles of Guyana…
Norton exposes Granger’s contention that he is unaware of gunman’s identity at Congress Place
IT was the gunshot heard all over Congress Place; someone could have died or could have been seriously injured. In their rush to cover it up, the incident suddenly had no perpetrator. Not surprisingly, the PPP was being blamed for it, as it was for everything else that went wrong at the PNCR congress. David Granger, while contending that he was not aware of the identity of the gunman, was adamant that he was not part of the PNCR. It looks like this statement will come back to haunt him. Wittingly or unwittingly, the man who pulled out from challenging Granger for the leadership post at the Congress because of accusations of vote rigging has now made a statement which further undermines the credibility of the Opposition leader. In an interview with Kaieteur news the day after the Congress, Aubrey Norton disclosed that he knows the identity of the person who fired the shot, but would not tell the press… “we as, a party will deal with that.” Now how is Norton aware of the gunman’s identity and the leader, Mr. Granger, claims he is not? If, as Granger and his associates contend, the individ-
ual is not from the PNCR, but was rather some conspirator sent by the PPP, why not expose the entire plan and release the identity of the culprit? Why will Norton not tell the press, as he has been telling them everything thing else, including the fact that he has evidence of corruption in the party and has been receiving death threats? Why does it have to be an internal matter for the party, when it clearly was an illegal act, which placed innocent lives in danger and was captured by the media? Mr. Norton, as with several of his estranged colleagues, is coming across as if he is eager to sweep this unlawful incident under the carpet, which is very informative. On the other hand, Mr. Granger has the opportunity to prove to all Guyana and the international community that he is committed to law and order by having this individual face the consequences of his actions. In the most hilarious episode yet, Granger has asked his partner, Winston Felix, to do damage control by claiming that a woman was in danger of being crushed by the confusion over their vote rigging, so firing the shot
was necessary. This position clearly contradicts what was in the media, as when they published the image of the gunman, they had indicated that it was taken shortly after the gunshot was fired. Even the most casual of glances at the image would indicate that there was no look of urgency or concern on the faces of the individuals in the photo, including the gunman. A picture does tell a thousand words, as everyone was just casually milling around, some were even chatting next to the culprit, which disproves the theory now being pushed by the PNCR that there was mass panic and fear of people being injured, thus it necessitated the shooting. Rather it was an attempt to keep those querying the falsified delegates’ list at bay, as surely had they pressed those in charge for answers; it would have led to even more startling revelations. This incident tells us that the current PNCR leadership is more than willing to compromise the safety and security of its own supporters; therefore we should not be surprised that they are intent on doing the same at the national level.
Norton, Solomon withdrew as they know what democracy is all about THE People’s National Congress (PNC) party was confronted by its most serious challenge at its recently concluded 18th biennial congress – whether it truly embraces democracy and inclusivity, as it has been espousing. In fact, this most important ingredient of any free state was put to the test within the context of what this Opposition party said that it represented. At the Congress, the Party’s lip service was finally contradicted and exposed by the internal machinations of its own hand, that by its designed plan of delaying the completion of the scrutiny and finalising of the Region 10 delegates list for accreditation at the Congress. OBSERVER contends that it boggles the mind that such an important list for such an important occasion as a political party congress was still not finalized, though the congress had already been convened on to the evening prior to Sunday. Every political leader knows that delegates are the motors of such gatherings - the movers and shakers of any such conventions. Therefore, not to certify their participation in the deliberative process is sure to cause alarm and anger, as did
eventually occur in this case of the PNC party congress. The excuses offered by the General Secretary, in whose hands rests this critical function, are without any reasonable foundation, as it has been reported that there were problems as far as two years ago. After all, he is a party veteran of over fifty years, and should have sought to have whatever problems there were remedied, with a proper delegates list finalised and readied before the commencement of the Congress. Thus the claim by him of the accreditation list still being problematic on to the Saturday evening is inexcusable, and is a bird that cannot fly. If it is a case of incompetence, then it is incredible that such has occurred under the direction of this high ranking party member of such stature. It does conclude a case of deliberate foot dragging, with a view to ensuring that Aubrey Norton’s challenge did not materialise. What a stab in the back of party democracy! It was obvious that Norton would not have participated in a process that he deemed flawed. It was the same position taken by Team Alexander in 2007.
By his withdrawal from Sunday’s proceedings, the PNC’s fraudulent and dishonest practices were not legitimised. Obviously, this development would have delivered the party leadership unchallenged to Granger, contesting same for the third time. Despite this however, the party’s image has been battered and disgraced by its own dishonest decision to perpetuate its old ideology of maximum leadership. In any organisation, especially political ones, that is built on the platform of transparency, accountability, and fair play, leadership is periodically challenged and accountability of stewardship demanded. This is what would have occurred on Sunday had the contest for leadership been allowed. But the fact that it did not was because those who controlled the machinery of the PNC party has still not subscribed to the democratic process. Let it be clear, that the principled stand taken by Norton , Sharma Solomon and followers , not to be part of the farce that posited itself as party elections on Sunday, was because they understand what a democratic process is all about.

RODNEY’S DEATH: AN ENIGMA BEING ANSWERED Special Report on the Rodney Commission of Inquiry by Shaun Michael Samaroo
What happened to critical GDF records, missing military weapons from Rodney era?
- Army Officer testifies intelligence and security files, guns missing, unaccounted for - Attorney Christopher Ram says GDF hierarchy engaged in ‘massive’ purge of Rodney-era records “There was no (military) documentation available for the period 1979 – 1980.” Those words from senior Guyana Defence Force (GDF) officer, Lieutenant Colonel Sydney Charles James, echoed throughout the hallowed halls of the High Court in Georgetown yesterday where the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry is probing Guyana’s dark, violent political atmosphere that resulted in the bomb blast assassination of Dr Walter Rodney. What happened to critical files at the GDF concerning the turmoil, conspiracies and political violence that Guyanese suffered under the government of the People’s National Congress (PNC)? That searching question dogged the Commission of Inquiry yesterday, as two senior GDF officers testified that the Army lacks knowledge of several missing files. In fact, Lieutenant Colonel James, who today answers to Chief of Staff Brigadier Mark Phillips, on Intelligence and Security matters in the Force, yesterday testified to the Commission that when he took over command of his post in 2007, not only was there no documentation available for the period at reference, but he couldn’t explain the unavailability either. Said he: “There was no documentation available for the period 1979 – 1980... [and] I cannot give an explanation for the absence…” According to Lieutenant Colonel James, military record keeping only showed up from the year 2000 onwards. “The files I took over related to intelligence and security matters pertaining to investigations, operations and administrative matters gen-
‘...in August, 2008, I conducted an Internal Investigation to determine whether weapons on charge to the Guyana Defense Force were issued to external organizations. This investigation was on the directions of the then Chief of Staff, Rear Admiral Gary Best, based on a number of weapons which were recovered in the Mahaicony Creek after a shootout between members of the Guyana Police Force and criminal elements’ -- Lieutenant Colonel Sydney Charles James erally from around 2000,” he said. “I cannot give an explanation for the absence of records before that time.” The appearance of several GDF military officers before the Presidential Commission has resulted in frustrating efforts to glean information, gather files and garner what role military leaders played in the political violence that resulted in the death of several political activists in Guyana in the 1970s and 1980, which culminated in the assassination of populist intellectual and revolutionary leader, Dr. Rodney. The Commission is probing the circumstances, political atmosphere, and general situation in Guyana in the 1978 – 1980 period that resulted in Dr Rodney’s assassination, which shocked the world, and caused consternation in the Caribbean, where the Guyanese scholar was highly respected, and his writings read with avid interest. After sitting dormant for 34 years, with two previous efforts stymied, the Commission got underway this year under the determined leadership of President Donald Ramotar, who, after meeting with one of Dr Rodney’s family members in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, had promised to see the probe launched. Dr Patricia Rodney, widow of the late Dr Rodney, had made a direct plea to the Government to probe how and why her husband
died the way he did on the evening of June 13, 1980, long regarded as one of the darkest periods in Guyana’s history. The Commission’s work is exposing the horrible political conspiracies and nefarious schemes that stifled socio-economic development in Guyana, and caused several questionable political deaths, including that of Catholic Priest, Father Bernard Darke, who was fatally stabbed during a peaceful political street protest on Brickdam in 1979. MYRIAD OF QUESTIONS Today, the Commission, comprising Chairman, Sir Richard Cheltenham of Barbados, Seenath Jairam of Trinidad and Tobago, and Jacqueline Samuel-Brown of Jamaica, seeks answers to a myriad of questions, allegations, conspiracies, suspicions and nefarious underground schemes that witnesses have revealed to the Commission, in written statements and through examination and cross examination from a battery of attorneys and defense counsels. The Commission’s hearings have galvanized interest and questions into the role of top Army officials and PNC Government operators who caused Guyana to descend to such a political pit that political activists were being killed. Witnesses testimonies
paint a picture of a Guyana being subjected to a repressive political plot under the PNC Government, where double agents, intelligence officers of the Guyana Police Force and the GDF, and senior PNC Government leaders planned and schemed to maintain political power, even if it meant taking the lives of opposition leaders. The Working People’s Alliance (WPA), which Dr Rodney led with powerful ideas and strong unity across the country, bore the brunt of the PNC Government’s harassment tactics, as well as the several attacks carried out at political meetings by a religious cult aligned to the PNC Party. The period saw the massive rigging of national and local government elections, and the Commission’s probe has so far unearthed testimonies detailing how the religious cult aided the PNC Party in hijacking ballot boxes, and exercising fraudulent voting practices. The situation got so draconian, undemocratic and maliciously mean that the GDF Army started transferring military weapons to a notorious PNC Government Ministry, namely the Ministry of National Development. Lieutenant Colonel James shocked the Commission yesterday when he said in his signed witness statement that “in August, 2008, … I conducted an Internal Investigation to determine
whether weapons on charge to the Guyana Defense Force were issued to external organizations. This investigation was on the directions of the then Chief of Staff, Rear Admiral Gary Best, based on a number of weapons which were recovered in the Mahaicony Creek after a shootout between members of the Guyana Police Force and criminal elements. “During the course of that investigation, I had cause to examine documents held by the five Service and Support Battalion concerning the Force’s weapon inventory and issues to external organizations. I recovered documentation and original vouchers which indicated that several categories of weapons were issued from the Guyana Defense Force to a number of external organizations and individuals…” Lieutenant Colonel James listed two pages of military weapons issued to external organisations, dating back to 1976, and including 1979. The GDF handed over several rifles and guns to one Skeete, whom James fingered as a staff member of a PNC Government Ministry, where ex-PNC leader, Robert Corbin played a leadership role. Corbin’s name came up several times during James’ testimony. For example, on August 10, 1979, the Army handed over to Skeete fifty (50) M10 handguns and bullets; twenty (20) Beretta 9mm SMGs with bullets; fifteen (15) M70 Assault rifles; and five (5) M72 guns. Then on May 18, 1976, the GDF handed over several military weapons to R. Corbin of the Ministry of National Development, including eight G3 rifles; 20 Beretta SMGs;
Lieutenant Colonel Cargill Kyte
15 SLR rifles; and 15 S&W (Smith & Wesson) handguns. Lieutenant Colonel James said several missing military weapons have not yet been recovered. Yet, critical records and files for this period of the activities of the GDF cannot be found, and the Commission’s work now includes sourcing these records. The events at the Commission over the past two days have prompted Defense Counsel, Christopher Ram to put to witness Lieutenant Colonel Cargill Kyte, who testified yesterday morning, that the GDF military “hierarchy” was involved in a “massive coverup” of the GDF’s role in the clandestine operations of the 1979 – 1980 period, when Dr Walter Rodney was assassinated. Lieutenant Colonel James resumes his stand on the witness box today, as the Commission’s hearing in this session heats up, now with a long list of missing military weapons issued to the PNC Government through the Ministry of National Development, joining the long list of records and files missing from the archives and stores of the GDF.

This silly season must stop ... PNC’s Vanessa Kissoon clears the air
THE following statement was issued by Vanessa Kissoon yesterday: Again, through the media, I am advised that my party Leader, Mr. David Granger, had lifted the suspension he imposed on me on 24th June for 12 hours to allow me to participate in congress. This is no longer a suspension, this has become a detention. I take personal offence to this new development. In addition to not being told of this decision by the party, I am not a juvenile nor is the PNCR a correctional institution. This is not the 18th century when women had to know their place and decisions were made for them without their involvement or knowledge. The last correspondence I received on the suspension issue was from Mr. Allan Munroe on 20th July, informing about my non-submission of a statement and that his committee will proceed with hearings on 22nd July on my non-appearance. I was most surprised to learn from the media that in a press briefing last Sunday evening, my party leader said the suspension was lifted for 12 hours to enable me to attend congress. Congress was a three-day event and I was present every day. My attendance at congress was consistent with Rule 15 of the party constitution, and under which I was accordingly accredited. It was not a concession granted. Ms. Kissoon needs no concession; Ms. Kissoon needs her rights respected, consistent with the party rules. Ms. Kissoon wants no favours or concessions. If party members follow the party constitution and govern consistent with the constitution, there will be no need to grant concessions. While the leader seems willing to execute discipline, he Vanessa Kissoon must be just as willing to do it in an even-handed manner. Mr. Aubrey Norton has complained that Mr. Granger’s driver had abused one of his supporters during the congress. Mr. Granger told the media he will investigate the matter then act accordingly. I have not been given similar right and respect. As a woman of the 21st century, I am beginning to believe sexism and favouritism are at work here. The leadership of my party is asking that members keep and settle their disagreements in-house. But the very leadership that is demanding compliance from the ordinary members is not prepared to adhere to the same directive. I continued to be kept abreast with the moving parts of my matter, from the leader, through the media. There are mechanisms in the party for members to discuss concerns and objections in-house and when these avenues are closed off, two choices are left, 1) stay silent or, 2) be heard from outside of the party. I am a disciplined party member. By this I mean I am committed to obeying the party rules. The rules of my party protect and allow me the right to expression, due process, and involvement in anything that affects me in the organisation. The party rules do not allow for a person to be placed on detention, the detention lifted for a period, then reinforced. Not even the 14-year old GYSM member is thus disrespected.
The PNCR is a civilian organisation guided by its own rules and these rules must be used to unite and position the party as the country’s best political alternative. Every man, woman and child must feel that they will be treated equally and protected by the party. As a member of the PNCR, I continue to give and expect no less. The reports that Linden protested against the congress is inaccurate. The placards Lindeners carried illustrated photographs and quotes of the three former leaders which resonated with us. This expression was an act of making known that the visions of our former leaders are still relevant. None of the placards was anti-party. Contrary to the views of some, the red, black and white attire and green arm bands worn by Lindeners during the three-day event were done to display the party and national flags. Lindeners chose to use these colours to help persons to re-identify with the party colours and heroes since these are observed to be undermined in the party. No organisation can grow and develop without solid foundation. The current leaders and members of the PNCR are here because of the foundation built by previous leaders and members, and we saw it fit to acknowledge this. Linden party members are offended that in their continued fight for their rights from the government and within the party, they are being accused of being PPP redcoats. In the meantime, Mark Archer of the PNCR/APNU Public Relations Department has taken to social media (Facebook) to demonise Lindeners and their leaders and mischaracterise events surrounding Linden, as Ronald Bulkan and Volda Lawrence have called us names. If Mark Archer, as the public relations person, is speaking for or on behalf the leadership of the party, this is unacceptable. If Bulkan and Lawrence think calling us names is okay, we’d like them to know this too is unacceptable Lindeners will not accept this treatment. As leaders better is expected and an end should be put to the silly season. Members of the PNCR have a party to strengthen and national elections to win. All members are equally important and as the Founder Leader Mr. Forbes Burnham said, “there is no better way to lead than by example.” This was one of the placards Lindeners carried during the congress.

PNCR Congress demonstrated Party’s confrontational, unpatriotic characteristics - Dr Roger Luncheon By Telesha Ramnarine CABINET sees the challenges of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNC/R) as complex, particularly in terms of addressing the highly visible rift among those elected, and in examining the basis of the Party’s engagement with the executive. Cabinet Secretary Dr Roger Luncheon made this disclosure yesterday when he addressed his usual post-Cabinet press briefing at the Office of the President complex in Georgetown. Cabinet’s attention, he said, was drawn last Tuesday to the recently concluded PNC/R Congress, and congratulations are in order for the newly elected and re-elected office bearers, Luncheon said. “The PNC/R’s contributions, either alone or as part of the joint parliamentary opposition,” he said, “have been, historically (since 2011; since the formation of the 10th Parliament) one of which Cabinet has described as confrontation, anti-national development, and unpatriotic behaviour, and it is Cabinet’s contention that these areas remain ripe for the re-assessment and a review at least by the new leadership of the PNCR impacting on APNU.” Under the theme ‘PNCR for National Unity, Good Governance and Development’, the PNCR’s 18th Biennial Congress had opened amidst a tangibly charged atmosphere. Leader of the PNCR, David Granger, used the platform to advance the Party’s advocacy for a “one-nation” approach to governance. The massive gates of Congress Place, the Sophia headquarters of the PNC/R, were closed to many Party members – several of whom were from Region 10 – even as the voting for new leaders was underway. And the locked-out members raised concerns over what they dubbed as a “rigged” process to ensure that the incumbent party leader, Granger, remained in power. These contentions were also raised before, as posters expressing this conviction were mounted on utility poles in the vicinity of Congress Place. Additionally, voting was delayed for several hours due to complaints over the delegates’ list.

‘Trini’rental car trickster also conned several business people - desperately trying to leave Guyana via ‘back-track’ route
By Alex Wayne AS police in the West Demerara District continue to hone in on Trinidadian Daniel Ali and his accomplice, Steven Baboolall, who have been fingered in several car thefts, sources have now informed that authorities are staking out locations in the Canals # 1 and 2 Polders, where the accused persons are allegedly hiding out in hope of leaving Guyana via the ‘back track’ routes. This newspaper visited Ali’s former landlord, Mr. Bruce, yesterday at Uitvlugt Public Road, West Coast Demerara, and became privy to some very interesting information. Bruce told this publication that Ali and Baboolall approached him earlier this year to rent the bottom flat of his business for the purpose of opening a catering service, and he readily granted them their wish, since the bottom flat of his home was suitable for their line of business. While they indeed began selling ‘fast foods’ and pastries, he found it strange that the two were seen on several occasions with several
spanking new cars. And at nights, they would drive the cars into the area they used as a restaurant, and would entirely cover up the vehicles with tarpaulin. The elderly man said that although he instructed them not to park the vehicles in the building, they just ignored his reprimand. Bruce said that although the pair was seemingly operating a thriving business, they always seemed to run into difficulties when it was time to pay the monthly rent, and had just recently promised that they would have paid off rental fees up to the end of December 2014. The man said that, about a week ago, Ali came to him and informed him that he was ceasing his business operations and would be selling all the amenities inside the restaurant -- inclusive of a large microwave oven, glass case, a cooler refrigerator, and a quantity of alcoholic beverages that was on the premises -- to a ‘Miss Yang’, owner of the Good Luck Chinese Restaurant at Grove Village, East Bank Demerara. Bruce said he was later contacted by the Chinese woman, who promised to
visit him two days after to inspect the rental premises of the restaurant she would soon be operating. The man said that on the day after Ali had made the declaration to him, Baboolall, accompanied by a strange burly negro man and ‘Anita’ of the Aracari Resort, arrived at his residence and began to hurriedly pack into a waiting canter all the items Ali had said were to be sold to Miss Yang. He said he overheard Anita exclaiming, “Pack up everything and we gon carry it by me, and all ah we gon get drunk!” Mr. Bruce said they even packed up the microwave as well, but he protested that it was to be sold to Miss Yang. He said that after they had left the premises, he stumbled upon a black plastic bag they seemed to have forgotten and discovered it contained several business transactions of car rentals, with Baboolall’s signature on all the documents. Bruce said he was shocked to find glossy looking business cards that detailed the business as D & S Catering Service and Car Rentals. Bruce said he handed those documents over to
Prisons Director and Deputy appointed - Police have own legal adviser By Telesha Ramnarine CABINET has endorsed President Donald Ramotar’s decision to substantively appoint Mr. Welton Trotz as Director of Prisons and Mr. Carl Graham as his deputy, Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon, reported yesterday at his weekly post-Cabinet press briefing at the Office of the President, in Georgetown. He said both individuals had held the acting positions. He also informed that former Justice of Appeal Madam Claudette Singh was appointed Legal Advisor to the Guyana Police Force (GPF). Luncheon said that while the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) advises the police, there continues to be a significant element of police work, investigations, prosecution that warrant almost day-to-day access to their own legal advisor. “What Singh offers the GPF is access to quality legal advice right at their doorsteps, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is a welcome addition to the assets that the police force throw into the struggle against crime in Guyana,” Luncheon said.
police at the Leonora Police Station. Even as Mr. Bruce was relating this story a businessman at Uitvlugt (who wishes to remain anonymous) was summoned, and he informed that Ali owes him over Gy$250,000 for beverages that he had taken from him via a credit arrangement. He said that, over a week ago, Ali had strangely refused to take his calls, and has since been avoiding him altogether. When this publication contacted Miss Yang of the Good Luck Chinese Restaurant, she said that Ali had sent her a signed contract dictating that she owned all the assets in the business, inclusive
of micro wave, refrigerator, glass case, chairs and tables for $200,000, but he had sent another individual to uplift the payment. The woman said that while she has been able to take over operations of the business, Ali is refusing to go to Mr. Bruce and cancel his contract for fear that the police would intercept him when he arrives there. Three taxi drivers o p e r a t i n g i n t h e We s t Demerara District have given information that they are searching for Ali, who owes each of them in excess of $20,000 in taxi fares, which he had promised to settle in a week or two.
Police were made aware of the illegal practices of Ali and Baboolall after several car rental dealers had reported that they had refused to return cars they had rented, and investigations have proved that those vehicles were actually sold by the two to persons in various locations across Guyana. While Baboolall was arrested and was later released on $20,000 bail, he and Ali have since been on the run after the story was made public last week. Sources have indicated that the two are desperately trying to leave the country through several possible ‘back track locations.’

First Lady addresses social issues at Black Bush Polder workshop By Shirley Thomas
“EXPOSURE to violence, be it in films or real life, has a negative influence on the social behaviours of many people; and such violent behaviours, particularly domestic violence, invariably have a major impact on the lives of children, leaving a mark, often for life. “To confront these and other negative social issues, therefore, the community as a whole must be involved. We must build an atmosphere of intolerance to domestic violence.” So said President of the First Lady’s Foundation of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, and Chairperson of the Sugar Industry Labour Welfare Fund
she said, “It is clear that, in our modern society, it is not always easy to cope with the pressures of day-to-day living. This issue is not only a personal or family matter, it has an impact on the community where it occurs. Therefore, to confront these negative social issues, the community as a whole must be involved,” said Guyana’s First Lady. She noted that the old hands-off attitude of saying that domestic violence is a ‘private matter between a man and his wife’ must end. “We have to be our neighbours’, our sisters’, our brothers’ keepers. We must build an atmosphere of intolerance to domestic violence. We see it can lead to death,” the First Lady stated. And of its impact on the
“Clearly, we must all get involved,” she admonished the gathering. The Sugar Industry Labour Welfare Fund Committee, which has, over the years, been working in communities to improve the social life of the people, held the workshop targeting four communities of Black Bush Polder last Saturday -- Mibicuri; Lesbeholden; Yakusari and Johanna. The objective is to address the social ills of the society. The issues dealt with were as follows: Suicide Upsurge; Alcoholism and Substance Abuse; School Dropout; and the Value of good Parenting. Other issues discussed were: Child Labour; Empowering of Single Parents/Youths; Upgrading of Recreational Facilities;

each other for sports, other entertainment, and a place for meeting. She gave the assurance that the SILWFC will continue to foster more community-based activities, so that people can interact more frequently with each other while playing a role in trying to invite specialists in human behaviour to visit and meet the people of Black Bush Polder, and provide a service to support families going through crises. Making her Foundation’s stand known on the issues, Mrs. Ramotar stated: “Here, I would like to say, as the First Lady of the Republic of Guyana, my Foundation be-
lieves that it is important for youth development and the progress of our society and country that stable and strong families be promoted.” She also quoted the United Nations as saying that stable functional families have been shown to contribute to youth social empowerment by providing many of the factors that protect many of the young people from engaging in risky sexual behaviours. To this end, the First Lady affirmed: “My Foundation, therefore, commits itself to working with SILWFC and any other organization to combat the ills of our country.” She noted that the current
government has done quite a lot to provide its people with a better life. “Much has been expended in education, health, housing, water, old age pension, and much more. No doubt, the quality of our lives has changed, but there is still much to be done, and it is up to us to do our part in fighting for a more conducive environment where each can reach his/her full potential”.

has as its theme: “Catholic Educators as Agents of Change in the Caribbean.” Heading the visiting delegation is The Most Reverend Bishop Gabriel Malzaire, Bishop of Roseau, St. Lucia; while host Bishop is the Most Reverend Bishop Francis Alleyne, Bishop of Georgetown, Guyana, who delivered the feature address. Other speakers at the opening ceremony included Bishop Gabriel Malzaire and Mrs. Joan Walker, President of the Caribbean Association of Catholic Teachers. Also present was Monsignor Terrence Montrose of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Georgetown. Others among the visiting delegation include representatives from Antigua,

CIOG President...
Palestine/Gaza issues should be top priority of world leaders By Leroy Smith THE Progressive Youth Organisation of Guyana (PYO), The Central Islamic Organisation of Guyana (CIOG), the Muslim Youth Organisation (MYO) and the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) all joined voices yesterday, requesting that the United States Government lead the way in calling for Israel to implement a ceasefire and end its attacks on the people of
Palestine and Gaza. During a picketing exercise yesterday morning targeting the United States Embassy in Georgetown, President of the Central Islamic Organisation, Fazel Ferouz, said the actions of Israel are being supported by the United States Government through the supply of weapons and finance. Ferouz described the Israel State as a “ruthless, murderous machine” which is committing an offence on defenceless men, women
and children in Gaza. The claim that the young people killed in West Bank met their demise by the hand of persons in Gaza is unjustified and without evidence, Ferouz told the Chronicle during an interview. The killing of defenceless women, children and men has been ongoing for the past two weeks, with more than one thousand lives being lost, the CIOG president lamented. He said the protest was not a Muslim thing, but was
rather humanitarian, since persons other than Muslims are living in Palestine. The grouping called for a ceasefire and for both countries to return to the bargaining table. According to Ferouz the issues between the two nations should once again be placed on the front burner of world governments. Anything other than dialogue between the two countries would continue to see the two nations at loggerheads, and lives will continue
to be lost, Ferouz stated. Although the protest was aimed at getting the attention of the United States Embassy, the police did not have a hard task restricting the protestors to High Street, Kingston in front of the Umana Yana, causing them not to make their way onto Young Street where the U.S. Embassy is Located. On the ground to maintain law and order were Deputy Commander of 'A' Division, Dion Moore, and his traffic officer, who ensured
the free flow of traffic. The protestors were distributing to passers-by flyers and information leaflets with the groups’ position on the situation in Gaza. Progressive Youth Organisation member Ghomatie Kalicharan told the Guyana Chronicle that the situation in Gaza is uncalled for and does not need to be prolonged. She said the destruction of homes, lives and properties is also causing huge devastation among Palestinian families.
Protesters gathered yesterday morning with their placards

Gunman shoots, robs Loner found dead in Mon Repos yard minibus passenger near home in Plaisance
–Bullet grazes fellow passenger in abdomen and one of the bullet grazed me. The man then take her jewellery and belongings and ran,” a very distressed Carr managed to say. Carr said that immediately after the shooting, the driver of the pink-and-white minibus disappeared from the scene, but
“DADO”, only name given, was found dead in his Block 8, Mon Repos, ECD yard on Monday afternoon at about 15:30hrs. Believed to be in his mid-forties, ‘Dado’ had reportedly been having issues with his wife, whom he had abandoned with their four children in Berbice to start a new life in Mon Repos, where he had lived alone at Block 8, according to his neighbour. “The man had come to Mon Repos and live after he and his wife was having problem,” the neighbour disclosed. “He used to live alone and was a drunkard, but he was a hardworking man and love to help out,” the neighbour said. “Most of his family lives in Berbice, and he is the only one living here,” his neighbour Dado’s body lying in his yard at Block 8, revealed.

TWENTY-year-old Dexter Carr was a front-seat passenger in minibus BRR 4735 en route to Georgetown from Plaisance Tuesday night, and seated next to 39-year-old Bernadette Campbell when, at approximately 20:00hrs,tragedy struck. According to Carr,who hails from Eccles, on the East Bank, as the vehicle exited Plaisance at Victoria Road and turned west onto the Railway Embankment Road, a passenger exited the bus, went to the front seat where he was sitting and fired three shots at Campbell. Unfortunately, one of the three bullets intended for Campbell grazed Carr in the abdomen. Carr said that Campbell, who lives at Plaisance and was heading home at the time, had, mere moments prior to the incident, told him that she did not exit the bus at her destination because she believed that a man seated at the back of the vehicle was tracing her. “As the bus turned out of Plaisance onto the Embankment Road, it made a stop to put out passengers. The woman then told me that ‘a man with a white ‘hoody’ at the back look like he gon rob me.’ But apparently, the man heard her, so the man then came out the bus, came to the front seat where me and the woman was sitting; the man then tell me to get out of the bus, but by the time I could have get out the bus, he already fired shots to the lady,
ALERT marine police patrolling the Demerara River in the vicinity of Vriesland, in Region Three (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara), on Tuesday were able to confiscate an undisclosed amount of marijuana after they spotted two persons acting suspiciously and decided to investigate. The persons abandoned the

thankfully, another minibus transported the injured woman to the station, leaving him behind. “When they leave me behind, I then take a bus and went to UG Road, where one of my friends live. I then call my friend and told him that I was shot, and in a quick response, my friend came and took me to the hospital, where I was treated,” Carr said. He explained that he had left Georgetown intending to visit a friend at Industry, ECD, but his unfamiliarity with the ECD villages had caused him to pass Industry and end up in Plaisance. He was returning to the city when he became involved in the unfortunate incident. Persons in the area have identified the gunman by name, and have described him as a known criminal, who has been responsible for most of the robberies occurring in the area. A senior police official told the Chronicle that the named gunman has been on the police radar for a very long time, but he has always managed to elude capture. Police investigations are ongoing.
illegal substance and fled upon noticing the police approaching. The police were not able to catch any of them. Vriesland is listed under the Police ‘D’ Division. However, in a search of the area, police discovered a white salt bag filled with leaves, seeds and stems of what appeared to be marijuana, together with a compressed scale and some mar-
ijuana which, when weighed, amounted to 8479 grammes. Police confiscated the find. Over the weekend, police in the same division searched a house on the West Bank of Demerara and discovered it occupied by a man who cultivates marijuana. Police removed two large marijuana plants and several smaller ones which were in their nursery stages.
These twenty black bags containing stems, leaves and marijuana were all packed in a white salt bag that marine police discovered during a search. Standing next to the bags is the compressed scale, which the police also removed from the location
GUYANA CHRONICLE Thursday July 31, 2014
Aries - March 21 - April 19 Your charisma is strong enough to overcome anyone's self-centeredness. So if you've been trying to get through to a certain someone, today's the day to break the ice. They'll try to resist, but it'll be nearly impossible. You're funny and smart, and even they can sense they're starting to fall for your irresistible magnetism. Go easy on them at first and don't force the issue. But if you get a chance, invite them out for coffee or a drink. Soon, you'll be fast friends and this person will wonder what the problem was in the first place. Taurus - April 20 - May 20 Your way with words today is adept and thought-provoking. You'll encounter all kinds of interesting situations that will spark your creativity and inspire you to make art of some kind today. Write out your feelings -- either in a letter to yourself, to the person you are trying to get to know better, or to someone who's driving you crazy. Your lucid thoughts will illuminate the situation for everyone. Gemini - May 21 - June 21 You're full of groundbreaking ideas right now. And they're not selfish -- you're all about contributing to humanity and establishing a niche on this crazy planet. Even if you can only improve your small corner of the world, you'll consider it a success. So what if people call you idealistic or a bleeding heart? You know what you're all about and you know what makes you tick. Let the naysayers spew their negativity. Your karma is as shiny as gold. Cancer - June 22 - July 22 It's important to make a commitment today. If you are looking for an excuse not to move forward, forget about it. The time is right to get active. Research and planning are indicated, but you may be getting too caught up in the minutiae. If you have any doubts, just use your imagination to come up with ideas or choices that will fill in the blanks and keep you going! If you need to make revisions, you can always work them out as you go along. Leo - July 23 - August 22 You've been out of the social loop lately, but you are still on the minds of your friends. They've been reading too much into your silence and think you need time alone. Their perceptions couldn't be further from the truth -- you're just busy. Let them know what's up as soon as possible! Get more involved in what's going on outside your individual realm and offer to tag along. Volunteer to help them with household chores to squeeze in some badly needed quality time. Virgo - August 23 - September 22 Today you'll be placed in a complimentary if not overwhelming leadership role. Amid the craziness, don't forget to check in with yourself and make sure you keep a level head. If at any point you feel inundated, ask for help. This is not the time to let your ego get in the way and make decisions for you. No one is perfect, and no one expects you to be! Turn to that trusted coworker or friend you know you can count on when things get rough. Do not go it alone. Libra - September 23 - October 22 Don't sell yourself short -- you know exactly what to do and how to do it. Just listen to your intuition. The worst thing you can do right now is let yourself get intimidated by expectations. You might be approaching a critical point today, so if you start to feel nervous about it, do your best to relax. Keep an open mind and focus on having a positive outlook. If you over process this situation, you'll lose perspective. Scorpio - October 23 - November 21 The truth can be harsh, but when it comes from someone you love, it is almost always meant to be constructive. Don't be surprised if a loved one shows their affection inappropriately today. You'll feel the rebellion well up, but keep it in check. Let bizarre or offensive statements settle into your brain before you react. Your initial response will emerge from an emotional and defensive place, but there's no reason to defend yourself. It's really pointless to resist. Sagittarius - November 22 - December 20 Lots of people are curious about what makes you tick, so it won't be hard to find someone to talk to. When you want to bond with other people, share common experiences. Connect by talking about the human experience -- you know, 'Why are we here?' and 'What's my purpose in life?' If you've been wanting to broach topics surrounding romance and finance, this is a great day to discuss relationship issues, a promotion or a pay raise. You might even want to fess up. Whether it's good or bad, get it off your chest. Capricorn - December 21 - January 19 Old ideas, outdated assumptions and unwanted items? It's all gotta go. The sooner you clear out all this physical and mental detritus, the sooner you'll get to the fresh stuff. If you're having a hard time figuring out what should go and what should stay, ask a friend. This person's feedback will be crucial in the process. You want to emerge from this experience mean, lean and ready to start a new chapter in your life. Aquarius - January 20 - February 18 Ever heard of giving someone the benefit of the doubt? Practice this principle today. Someone in your family or group of friends is going through something intense, and your attitude toward them is starting to sour, big time. Communication is going to be either laboured or entirely vicious, but you need to try hard to detach and let them be. Your best bet? Remove yourself from the situation. Let this person know you are giving them space instead of creating more angst. They'll come around when they're feeling better. Pisces - February 19 - March 20 Seeds you plant today will soon grow into beautiful new opportunities. It's a great day to start new searches and embark on new journeys. But don't rush out and buy your tickets ASAP -- you still need to work out tons of details! It's important to take your next vacation planning at a slow, deliberate pace. If you are in the midst of a career change, put some effort into it today. Update your resume and put a few feelers out on the job market. Your next move could entail a travel element!

Kumar congratulates... FROM BACK PAGE Secretary of the GCB, Anand Sanasie, was also enthralled with the win, saying it came amidst many hiccups and challenges the GCB would have endured over time. “It was heartening to hear of the Under-15 success late yesterday afternoon. Certainly we knew that the way they
were playing, they would have defeated Jamaica and they did for which we are all happy. Despite the many challenges we would have faced, the GCB continues to ensure that teams are well prepared, even though at times we would have had to make hard decisions which are bearing fruit now and we do hope that this is the first of many successes to come,” said Sanasie. Like Kumar, Sanasie, who is also a WICB Director, is waiting eagerly to see the Under-19 team pull off the win in the Regional championships that is currently being contested in Guyana, despite the many hiccups they are enduring, including batting failures. “The Under-19 team which is being led by Brian Sattaur, is progressing nicely in the three-day format of the Regional championships and it would be a wonderful

sight to see them come out on top and join the Under-15 boys as Regional champions, as it is evident that amongst the turmoil facing Guyana’s cricket, some good things are happening.” Batting first yesterday in the game that was contested at the Melbourne ground in Jamaica, Guyana scored 248 for 7 from their 50 overs with Steve Deonarine hitting an unbeaten 60, backed by 54 from Kris Ramnarine, 37 from Alphius Bookie and an unbeaten 26 from Colin Barlow. Despite Raewin Senior’s 113, Guyana, through the bowling of Yadram (3 for 46) and Kevin Sinclair and Stephen Kamaladeen who took two wickets each for 31 and 41 runs respectively, bowled out Jamaica for 237 to come away with an 11-run victory. The team is being coached by Julian Moore.
as it looked but Kirani James took real charge of things. It was a great effort from Wayde van Niekerek who ran the 200m prelims this morning,” said analyst Michael Johnson. “Maybe, if he hadn’t done that he could have got that bit closer to James and pushed him all the way to the line.” 08:50 hrs Elegant Statesman 09:20 hrs Alelchi Inois 10:00 hrs Queen Of Alba 10:40 hrs Tested 11:15 hrs Mumbo Bay

India four down and facing England defeat By Liam Morgan (REUTERS) - England need six wickets on the final day to win the third Test against India after a superb bowling performance helped them reduce the tourists to 112-4, still 333 runs short of victory, at the end of day four at Southampton yesterday. India lost Murali Vijay (12) and Cheteshwar Pujara (2) in the space of eight balls in the final session and part-timer Joe Root then claimed the wicket of Shikhar Dhawan (37), which broke a watchful stand of 51 with Virat Kohli. Spinner Moeen Ali got Kohli (28) to edge a straight one to Jos Buttler before Lord’s centurion Ajinkya Rahane (18 not out) and Rohit Sharma (six not out) battled to the close with India on the brink of defeat. Earlier in the day England captain Alastair Cook (70 not out) managed successive half-centuries in a Test match for the first time since
2011 and he was backed up by Root’s 56 off 41 balls as England declared their second innings at 205-4. It left India facing what would be a world-record chase of 445 to win the game. But England, trailing 1-0 in the five-match series, are favourites to earn their first victory in 11 outings on the final day today. After James Anderson claimed a five-wicket haul on his 32nd birthday by dismissing Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Mohammed Shami in the morning session to bowl India out for 330, Cook opted not to enforce the follow-on. Having lost Sam Robson (13) and Gary Ballance (38) before lunch and Ian Bell (23) after the interval, Cook and Root went about setting India a daunting target. The pair attacked India with brutal power, taking the bowlers to all parts of the ground with a range of aggressive strokes, before Root was bowled by Ravindra Jadeja, prompting Cook into a declaration.

(Credit: REUTERS/Philip Brown) A resurgent England came at India with venom after tea, and they found a breakthrough when Broad ran Murali Vijay out with a superb diving direct hit. In the following over, Cook introduced Ali into the
attack and it paid dividends as he struck with his second ball of his spell, getting Pujara to edge a sharp delivery that was brilliantly caught at slip by Chris Jordan. On a dry pitch conducive to spin bowling, Cook
made another well-timed bowling change, bringing Root into the attack. Soon Root had drawn Dhawan into nicking the ball to Jordan before Kohli feathered a straight ball from Ali to Buttler.
Argentine FA chief, FIFA executive Grondona dies By Luis Ampuero
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) - Argentine Football Association president Julio Humberto Grondona died in hospital yesterday at the age of 82, South American football’s governing body CONMEBOL said. Grondona, who became AFA chief in 1979 during the former military dictatorship and was senior vice-president of world football’s governing body FIFA, died at the Mitre Sanatorium in Buenos Aires after suffering an aortic aneurysm. He was rushed to hospital early yesterday but died shortly after midday before doctors could carry out surgery. “Julio Humberto Grondona has died - one of this continent’s most distinguished directors of recent times in the management of the Argentine Football Associa-
tion,” CONMEBOL said. In a statement it sent its condolences to Grondona’s family and everyone involved in Argentine football. FIFA president Sepp Blatter wrote on Twitter: “Very sad at the loss of a great friend. Julio Grondona has left us at 82 years of age. Today I embrace his family. Rest in peace.” AFA vice-president Luis Segura has taken charge of the Argentine game’s governing body and reports said the start of the league season scheduled for this weekend could be postponed. “This is something very painful regardless of the differences one might have had (with him),” former Argentina coach Cesar Luis Menotti, to whom Grondona gave a new deal after his team’s World Cup victory in 1978, told broadcaster TyC Sports. Grondona, who presided over Argentina’s second
Football Association president Julio Humberto Grondona
World Cup victory in Mexico in 1986, rose to the highest position in the Argentine game from the presidency of leading first division club Independiente. He and his son Humberto, Argentina’s Under-20 team coach, both said earlier this year Grondona would stand down in 2015. “One’s destiny is with God,” Grondona was quoted as saying when asked how much longer he would re-
main in the position. ‘DON JULIO’ ‘Don Julio’, as he was known in Argentina, made friends and enemies in equal numbers with his controversial style of management in a domestic game in which clubs were impoverished and the AFA relatively wealthy. Grondona, head of FIFA’s finance committee,
ran into trouble with England’s FA, calling them liars and pirates over criticism of FIFA at a congress in Zurich in 2011 and later apologised in a letter to former English FA chairman David Bernstein. Grondona was often involved in spats with former captain and coach Diego Maradona yet named him in charge of the team for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, then sacked him when the team failed to progress beyond the quarterfinals. Argentina captain Lionel Messi sent a Facebook message regarding Grondona, who had urgently set up a friendly for him to play in the national team when the Barcelona ace was being wooed by Spain. “Very sad day for football, for all of Argentina and for me ...

send my condolences and a big hug to all his relatives and friends. Lio,” Messi wrote. Grondona was on the verge of appointing the 10th national-team coach of his long reign. Alejandro Sabella was reported on Tuesday as having stood down after steering Argentina to the final of this year’s World Cup on July 13. His last public appearance was on Tuesday night outside AFA’s downtown headquarters, where reporters asked him if he could convince Sabella to stay on as he wished. “If the bride doesn’t want to, you can’t,” Grondona said. “See you soon.”

Chanderpaul in sight of ton after first day’s action By Calvin Roberts RESILIENT batting from national first class and West Indies Under-19 opener Tagenarine Chanderpaul saw Guyana Under-19 to 228 for 5 at the end of the first day of their final round clash against Trinidad and Tobago in this year’s West Indies Cricket Board Regional Under-19 threeday tournament at the Georgetown Cricket Club ground. Asked to bat first in brilliant sunshine and on a track that was conducive for batting, Guyana saw two of their three experienced batsmen, Shimron Hetmyer and Brian Sattaur wasting their wickets, with Hetmyer doing so when well set for his second ton. Chanderpaul stood strong and held the fort to remain unbeaten on 79, batting for the entire day in which he faced 289 balls and struck nine fours in his unbeaten 79, which, together with Hetmyer’s 63, took Guyana to their eventual total at the end of the day’s play. Hetmyer started positively, striking Akeel Seetal for four through cover point in the first over of the day, followed by two more off the bowling of Justin Joseph, as he added 88 for the first wicket with Chanderpaul. Trinidad and Tobago gave Hetmyer a life, when he was dropped by wicketkeeper Brandon Jaggernauth on 40, off the bowling of Joseph at 53 without loss and he said thanks by hitting Joseph for four

in the same over, before posting his 50 from 81 minutes batting, in which he faced 64 balls and struck six fours, sweeping Jessie Bothan for his sixth four to long leg. However, a reckless shot from Hetmyer who looked to hit Samuel Roopnarine (2 for 44) over long off, saw him get a thick edge to Seetal at point, after facing 80 balls while batting for 92 minutes and hitting seven fours in his 63. Guyana went to lunch at 101 for 1, with Chanderpaul on 29 and Sattaur 3 and after the break, Sattaur, who was given a life by Seetal at mid-on off Brian Christmas when on 3, at 99 for 1 before lunch, cut loose with two fours off Seetal, before he attempted a wild
swing at Roopnarine and was bowled at 130 for 2. Enter Ashkay Homraj who added 28 for the third wicket with Chanderpaul, contributing 22 which included a six back over the head of Roopnarine and four, before he was bowled by Joseph, when he looked to run a ball that kept low to the vacant third man position. The swift demise of Handball Baldeo (3) who ran himself out courtesy of a direct hit by Camilio Carimbocas at extra cover, left Guyana on 166 for 4, following which they took the tea break four runs later, with Chanderpaul on 66 and Shiraz Ramcharran 2. Chanderpaul had earlier posted his second half-century of this year’s tournament from 208 min-
utes of batting in which he faced 173 balls and struck six fours, before looking on from the non-striker’s end and seeing a pacey yorker undoing the defence of Ramcharran for 22. Kemo Paul joined the left-handed Chanderpaul and at the close of play, had struck two fours in his 13, while seeing Guyana past their 200 from a two through point off the second new ball that was taken at 198 for 5 after 85 overs, to their eventual total. So far, Roopnarine bowled unchanged up to the lunch break after coming into the attack in the 10th over of the home team’s innings. He even sent down a further 10 after the break. He has taken 2 for 44 for the bottom-placed T&T team.
Cato, Lewis hold centre stage at Providence … Cato hits 127; Lewis grabs 7-57 PROVIDENCE, Guyana (CMC) – An astute hundred from Roland Cato took the edge off another destructive spell from Ramaal Lewis to revive Windward Islands after they stumbled against Jamaica in the Regional Under-19 Tournament yesterday. Cato, the Windwards Under-19 captain, hit 127, as his side was dismissed for 252 in their first innings about 25 minutes before the scheduled close on the opening day of their third round match in the 3-Day competition.
Off-spinner Lewis, the Jamaica and incumbent West Indies Under-19 captain, was the pick of his side’s bowlers, taking 7-57 from 32.3 overs, moving his tally of scalps for the tournament to 20. Leroy Lugg, the West Indies Under-19 opener, was not out on four and Odaine McCatty was not out on zero, as Jamaica reached five without loss in reply when stumps were drawn at the Guyana National Stadium. Cato reached his hundred from 197 balls, when he squarecut Odean Smith through back-
ward point for his 12th four. In all, he smashed 15 fours and three sixes from 211 balls in a shade under four hours to rescue his side, after they squandered a resolute opening stand of 55 between Melvin Gordon and Gidron Pope. Pope made 32 and Gordon scored 27, but they were two of the wickets that fell, leaving Windwards 66 for three inside the last half-hour before lunch. Apart from Cato, none of the other batsmen reached 20, as Lewis worked his way through the Windwards’ batting. Cato added a valuable 44 for the fifth wicket with wicketkeeper/batsman Anson Latch-
man and dominated a stand of 45 for the ninth wicket with Sherman Lewis taking advantage of the favourable conditions to prove his class. Windwards made two changes, bringing Sherman Hooper and the beanpole Kharmal Hamilton in to replace Kershaskie Jno Lewis and Craig Phillip. Jamaica also made two changes replacing Oshane Thomas and Ramone Francis with Shahid Crooks and Gareth Henry. Provisionally, Windwards are third in the points table on 22.1 and Jamaica, last year’s double-crown champions, are fourth on 20.8.

‘Multi’ find success by making God the centre of the team – coach … confident of winning third consecutive title By Rawle Toney
FOR the past three years, the Christianburg/Wismar Secondary School aka ‘Multi’, have ruled the Digicel Schools Football tournament with an iron fist. Their coach Anthony Stephens draws similarity to Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the world’s greatest military and most celebrated leaders in the history of the West, who revolutionised the military organisation. Behind Stephens’ no-nonsense approach to the game, Christianburg/Wismar Secondary, (Multi), have played in three consecutive finals and on Sunday, August 3, will play in their fourth at the Guyana National Stadium. Waramadong Secondary was the school defeated in the semifinals in 2011 but the Lindeners fell to GTI that year, losing 3-5.

In 2012, they thrashed Waramadong 5-2 to win their first title then defeated the school from Region Seven on penalty kicks to clinch their second successive trophy in 2013. The question now is not whether Multi will win a third title, but many pundits are eager to find out the school’s recipe for suc-
cess. According to Stephens, it has nothing to do with Multi having been blessed with talented players: it’s simply “making God the centre of the team”. “Sometimes as coach and as teachers you don’t know that’s when God steps in. From the last Digicel tournament in the last min-
Kallis quits ODI format months before World Cup … to continue in T20s
By Mark Gleeson CAPE TOWN, South Africa (Reuters) - South Africa’s Jacques Kallis has surprisingly decided to call time on his international limited overs career six months before the World Cup. The 38-year-old, one of the greatest all-rounders in the game’s history, retired from Test cricket last year but had been planning to finish his South Africa career at the 50-over World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in February and March. However, he announced a change of heart yesterday, just weeks after helping South Africa win a one-day international series in Sri Lanka for the first time. “I realised in Sri Lanka that my dream of playing in a World Cup was a bridge too far,” he said in a statement. “Ï just knew on that tour that I was done. The squad that was in Sri Lanka is an amazing one and I believe they have a good chance of bringing the trophy home in March.
Jacques Kallis
“I would like to thank Cricket South Africa, the team, the team sponsors, my sponsors, the fans and all the people who have been involved in my career. It has been an amazing journey.” POOR FORM Kallis was in poor form in Sri Lanka, scoring just five runs in three innings as South Africa won the ODI series 2-1 earlier this month. He did not bowl in any of the games. However, he will continue to play in the Twenty-20 format of the game at club
level. “I am not retiring from all cricket as I have a twoyear contract with the Sydney Thunder and, if possible, to help the Kolkata Knight Riders defend the IPL title we won earlier this year,” he said. Kallis is the only cricketer to score more than 11 000 runs and take 250 wickets in Test and ODI cricket. He ends his ODI career with 11 579 runs in 328 matches with 17 centuries at an average of 44.36. Kallis played his final Test last December, finishing with 13 289 runs in 166 matches with 45 centuries at an average of 55.37. “South Africa has been blessed with one of the world’s greatest cricketing talents in Jacques Kallis,” said Cricket South Africa chief executive Haroon Lorgat. “He is undeniably one of the greatest players ever to have graced our wonderful game and he has certainly been the Proteas standard-bearer of excellence for nearly two decades.”
ute when everyone was saying Waramadong won, that’s when we scored and we know that once God is present nothing can stop us. We’ve also made God an integral part of our morning devotions,” Stephens said. Chronicle Sport made a visit to the school’s training session on Tuesday at the Wisburg Secondary School
where Stephens said he’s making a few adjustments to face their arch rivals Waramadong. The CWSS coach said that his players were slow on the counter in their semifinal against Bush Lot Secondary which they eventually won on penalty kicks. Their transition from offence to defence was also an area that needed to be corrected ahead of Sunday’s game. Looking ahead to Sunday’s Final against Waramadong, Stephens said that he expects a complete team effort and less individual football, also claiming “it’s going to be a very intensive game because they will be attacking and defending. I don’t think they want to lose. Some of the boys they know that this is their last tournament and they want to end it on a high note and they will put their best foot forward, pressing and by
the grace of God come out victorious.” The CWSS coach is of the opinion that both his team and Waramadong will be under pressure, given the venue since it would be the first time most the students will be playing at the Guyana National Stadium. “Playing at the best venue in Guyana and I think there is going to be a very large crowd, if not filled to capacity. Because we know Guyana is a football-crazy country and when it comes to finals, everyone knows the Digicel Final is always be the best game of the tournament; so I think the fans will be out in their numbers, and that will add pressure to both teams,” Stephens said. One thing for sure, though, is that the final of the 2014 Digicel Schools football tournament is shaping up to be one that will certainly go down in history.
Honduras to host CONCACAF Under-17 tournament MIAMI, Fla. (CMC) Honduras has been chosen to host next year’s CONCACAF Under-17 football Championship, the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) announced on Tuesday. The tournament is scheduled to run from February 27 to March 14 at two stadiums in San Pedro Sula. Group stage games will be played in both the Estadio Olímpico and Estadio General Francisco Morazán, with the final rounds to be contested at the Estadio Olimpico, culminating with the final on March 14. The 2015 CONCACAF Under-17 Championship will include a field of twelve teams: five from the Caribbean Football Union (CFU), four from the Central American Football Union (UNCAF), and three from North America. Qualifying in the Caribbean is currently under way, while qualifying in Central America will take place in coming months. “CONCACAF has produced some world class youth sides throughout the years, with Mexico’s
Under-17s lifting the World Cup twice in recent years,” said CONCACAF president Jeffrey Webb. “We’re looking forward to see the next champions emerge from next year’s competition in Honduras – a country passionate about its football. I’m sure this will be a great Under-17 Championship.”
The tournament will crown the Confederation champion and qualify four teams to the FIFA Under-17 World Cup Chile 2015. A date for the official draw will be announced shortly. Mexico are the defending CONCACAF Under-17 champions.

Bolt in row with British newspaper
Usain Bolt
GLASGOW, Scotland, (CMC)- A row has broken out in Glasgow over
comments a newspaper claimed were made by Jamaican sprinter Usain
Bolt to describe the Commonwealth Games currently underway here. The Times reporter, Katie Gibbons, claims Bolt told her that he thought “the Olympics were better”, that he was “not really” having fun in Glasgow and felt the Games were “a bit shit”. However the 27-yearold sprinter has dismissed reports of his comments as ‘nonsense’. “I’m waking up to this nonsense,” Bolt tweeted.
EBFA /Stag Beer Division One League
Grove topple Agricola; Kuru Kururu needle Diamond as action resumes SMARTING from a defeat in the first round of the Stag Beer-sponsored East Bank Demerara division-one league, Grove Hi Tech were in no mood for a repeat loss to old rivals Agricola Red Triangle when league action resumed at the Grove Community Centre ground last Sunday due to the inclement weather.. Grove Hi Tech defeated Agricola Red Triangle 2-0 and in the day’s opening clash, Kuru Kururu Warriors needled Diamond United FC. It was billed as a thriller between two sides who always produce exciting football but this time around the boys from Grove did not allow their rivals to settle in at all. Captain Domini Garnett took matters into his own hands and started proceedings with the fastest goal of the tournament to date, a 46-second strike that virtually knocked the wind out of the sails of Agricola. Grove looked the more organised of the two sides with a better tactical plan that they executed efficiently. Agricola kept up with the fast-paced game but lacked the required potency in the final third. Grove, on the other hand, were well aware of the prowess of their rivals and made good their chances when they were presented. Solid work in the final third by Grove kept Agricola at bay for the entire encounter; Michael Matthews in goal looked solid as ever. Grove did not allow Agricola to settle into any rhythm and 16 minutes on, the lead was doubled, compliments of a well-taken shot from the left side about 30 metres out from Dexter Archer. Custodian Jeston George could only watch the ball as it made contact with the network owing to the speed of the shot.
Captain Domini Garnett
Full points were virtually sealed by the home team that early in the encounter. As the game progressed it became a physical battle but Grove kept their nerves to walk away winners, avenging a 2-1 loss to Agricola in the first round of the league in February. National Under-17 forward Joel Dick had the opportunity to increase the lead to three goals when his side won a penalty in the dying stages but his tame shot was saved by George who also denied the second attempt by Dick. Dick had pulled one back for his side in their first-round loss but could not repeat that performance yesterday. This is the second and final round of competition with a first-place prize of $300 000 at stake for the winners along with bragging rights as the best in the association. Second place attracts $200 000 with third and fourth to receive $100 000 and $50 000 respectively. The opening game Sunday was a tough contest between Linden/Soesdyke Highway-based Kuru Kururu Warriors and Diamond United FC. It was the Warriors who made good on one of their chances in the second half of proceedings as Samuel Steele stole victory for them with his 58th minute goal. Teams will be seeking to strengthen as the transfer window is set to come to an end today after being open since June 15.
“Journalist please don’t create lies to make headlines”. However, the Times’ Scottish editor, Angus Macleod, says he had full confidence in Gibbons. “We stand by this story 100%,” he said. “We have utter confidence in this story.” Reports here suggest that the Times were considering whether to publish a full transcript of the short interview with Bolt in Thursday’s paper.
Meantime Bolt’s agent, Ricky Simms has also dismissed the reports as “utter rubbish”. “The atmosphere in and around the stadiums has been absolutely fantastic and I have absolutely no idea where these quotes have come from.” Said Bolt. Games officials say the row is not diverting attention from the track and field action. “We take Mr. Bolt at his word. His tweet says
Athletics Association announces IGG team AFTER deliberating on the list for some weeks, the Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG) yesterday released the names of the 14 athletes who will be representing Guyana this Saturday and Sunday in the Track and Field division of the Inter-Guiana Games which starts tomorrow.

it all. These are a fantastic Games,” said Mike Hooper, the chief executive of the Commonwealth Games Federation. “As you saw in his press conference last Saturday, he is very upbeat. He is really positive about running the relay and I don’t wish to comment on the journalist and work of the Times.” Bolt is competing only in the 4x100m relay after struggling with a foot injury.
Carty century revives Leewards GEORGETOWN, Guyana, (CMC)-A defiant century from Kacey Carty pumped fresh life into an ailing innings as Leeward Islands reclaimed the initiative against Barbados on the first day of their West Indies Under-19 third round match here yesterday Leewards had lost early wickets and were struggling on 54 for two before Carty defied the Bajans bowlers despite little support as well later in the innings from the other batsmen. Carty, who came in at number three, almost singledhandely rekindled the leewards innings with a determined knock of 114, propelling them to 240 for the loss of six wickets at Enmore. His heroics with the bat were the highlight of the day after Leewards lost their openers cheaply and with other batsmen failing to even get starts except for Asham Hodge who was run out for 40. The only other batsmen to post double figures were Jaeel Clarke who was unbeaten on 27 and Ross Powell who scored 19. Carty almost single handedly took the fight to the Bajan bowlers, smashing 11 fours, facing 217 balls in a responsible knock that lasted for 270 minutes. He eventually departed as one of the victims of the main destroyer captain Joshua Drakes who has so far taken three wickets for 66.
