President calls on citizens to reflect on struggles for freedom

- at Emancipation celebration at National Park

P U L S AT I N G b e a t s o f African drums, energetic dances and songs that tell stories of the struggle for freedom, colourful clothing and headdresses and mouth-watering African dishes were some of the attractions at the National P a r k w h e re P re s i d e n t Donald Ramotar joined thousands of Guyanese as the nation celebrated Emancipation Day, one of the most revered of national events.

President Ramotar said

that the abolition of slavery in Guyana was a major blow against the oppressive colonial rule to which Africans were subjected.

He said that even though Guyanese have different origins they have a common history.

He called on citizens to reflect on the experiences in the fight for freedom and liberation and the sacrifices that had to be made, and apply them to today’s reality so as to strengthen their societies and take Guyana

forward.

Also present were Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, leaders and members of the Opposition Parties and of the diplomatic community.

Similar sentiments were expressed by Opposition Leader David Granger who described Emancipation Day as the “birthday of the Guyanese nation.”

He too urged that this occasion be used to bring G u y a n a ’s s i x p e o p l e s together, so that the country can truly become one nation.

Slavery was abolished in Guyana 176 years ago on August 1 1834. Today the system of slavery; whereby people were bought, sold and forced to work under the most inhumane of conditions, is still seen across the globe as the worse crime against humanity.

This year, in addition to performances from the various cultural groups in Guyana, Guyanese were also treated to performances from groups from Trinidad and Tobago and Suriname. (GINA)

House goes into recess on Friday…

Unlikely that Parliamentary Select Committee will meet on AML/CFT Bill –Ms. Teixeira THE National Assembly goes into recess on Friday leaving time for one more sitting of the House; however, there continues to be no meetings of the Parliamentary Special Select Committee reviewing the -Money Laundering/ Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) (Amendment) Bill.

The delayed passage of

Committee, Ms. Gail Teixeira told the Guyana Chronicle that it is unlikely that the Committee will meet during the recess period, which is a cause for concern given that Guyana will be taken up for review by the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) in October and the National Assembly is scheduled to come out of recess on October 8.

the critically important bill continues to be of concern for many Guyanese, particularly in the private sector.

Chairperson of the

In a previous interview, she said: “I have been trying to get a meeting of the Committee for weeks now. I suggested July 8 and

be unavailable to attend any meeting prior to recess. He also said that Mr. Ramjattan will be out of the country during the time suggested for the meeting.”

Without a meeting of the Committee to conclude its review of the AML/CFT Bill, its passage remains in limbo, even in the face of possible

international sanctions for Guyana.

The Head of State, Mr. Donald Ramotar, also recently pronounced on the delay in the Committee meetings and noted that he was surprised at the nonchalant disposition of the combined Opposition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC).

FATF, earlier this month, officially confirmed its decision to commence a targeted review of Guyana, in a letter dated July 9, 2014, prior to its October 2014 plenary meeting.

And the international watchdog body made it clear that the purpose of this targeted review will be to examine the most significant deficiencies in Guyana’s AML/CFT framework that

pose a risk to the international financial system. According to FATF, its review will identify steps that should be taken to address those deficiencies through the development of an Action Plan.

FAT F s a i d i n i t s letter: “This review will be conducted by the International Cooperation Review Group (ICRG), Americas Regional Review Group (ARRG), co-chaired by Ms. Darlene Boileau (Canada) and Ms. Maria Fernanda GarciaYrigoyen Maúrtua (Peru).

“In our capacity as ICRG Co-Chairs, we now request your full cooperation in assisting the ARRG to conduct this work, including by providing upto-date information on your jurisdiction related to AML

and CFT issues as requested by the ARRG co-chairs.”

Guyana, according to the letter, will be given an opportunity to review the draft targeted review and to have a face-to-face meeting with the ARRG. At its next meeting on 20th -24th October, 2014 in Paris, France, the FATF is expected to discuss the results of Guyana’s targeted review. If Guyana is deemed non-compliant a public statement from FAT F t o i t s m e m b e r countries will be issued at that meeting advising recommended sanctions against Guyana.

Israel says Hamas will pay heavy price for more attacks

By Giles Elgood and Nidal al-Mughrabi (REUTERS) - ISRAEL will go on fighting Hamas in the Gaza Strip even after the army completes its core mission of destroying

the cross-border tunnels used by Palestinian militants to attack its territory, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday.

As Israeli television showed live footage of some tanks with-

drawing from Gaza in an apparent winding down of the 25-day campaign, Netanyahu said Hamas would pay an “intolerable price” if it continued to attack Israel.

Israel began its air and naval offensive Palestinians wheel a woman, whom medics said was wounded by Israeli shelling, outside a hospital in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip August 2, 2014.

Netanyahu’s comments came as Israel signaled it was taking action to withdraw on its own terms, saying it would not attend talks in Cairo this weekend aimed at achieving a new truce.

In some areas of Gaza, witnesses saw Israeli tanks pulling back towards the border, while the Israeli military gave Palestinians who had fled one town the all-clear to return.

Mexican journalists denounce Sinaloa state ‘gag law’

(BBC News) JOURNALISTS in Mexico have criticised a new law that restricts crime reporting in north-western Sinaloa state.

The legislation bans journalists from taking pictures and recording video or audio at a crime scene.

Journalists will have to rely on official information approved by the Prosecutor’s Office to report on crime.

Media organisations, journalist unions and campaign groups have denounced the law as a serious threat to press freedom in Mexico.

Sinaloa state authorities say it is aimed at preserving crime scenes for police investigation.

“There will be many changes in the roles of each one of us,” said Sinaloa state Prosecutor Marco Antonio Higuera Gomez.

“But there will be no restriction to the work of the

media.”

‘Shorty Guzman’ The bill was proposed

by Governor Mario Lopez Valdez and unanimously approved by state legislators on Wednesday night.

“The media will have access to information on the crime investigations through the press releases prepared by the official public information department,” establishes the law.

The legislation is due to come into effect on 15 October, but journalists - who refer to it as a “gag law” - say they will try to stop it being enforced.

“What’s going to happen to media and journalists who get information and publish it?” questioned Gabriel Mercado, head of the June 7 Journalists and Communicators Association, speaking to the Agence France-Presse news agency.

Argentina default: Judge Griesa urges new negotiations (BBC News) NEGOTIATIONS between Argentina and its creditors should be resumed urgently, US judge Thomas Griesa has said.

Investors holding Argentine bonds and lawyers for the government attended a hearing in New York for the first time since Argentina defied an order to pay.

“Nothing that has happened this week has removed the necessity of working out a settlement,” the judge said.

The bond-holders, which Argentina calls “vulture funds,”

Ms Fernandez said foreign powers were attempting to undermine Argentina’s economy

are demanding a full payout of $1.3bn (£766m).

It would have been easier for me to sign it, but I wouldn’t be able to sleep ” President Cristina Fernandez The bonds were bought by hedge funds NML and Aurelius Capital Management for a fraction of their face value in the aftermath of Argentina’s economic collapse in 2001.

The South American nation defaulted on its debts at the time.

It has since renegotiated its debts with 92% of the creditors who agreed to settle for one-third of they were originally owed.

However, the hedge funds bought up a large chunk of the remaining distressed debt at low prices, and demand to be paid the full face value of their holding.

On Wednesday Argentina refused to pay.

The government had expected their dispute to go all the way to the US Supreme Court, which would have bought the

country more time.

In June, the Supreme Court declined to hear Argentina’s appeal against the decision of a lower court that made it liable for the money.

EDITORIAL

GUYANA

WAR CRIMES’ WARNING ON ISRAEL/GAZA CONFLICT THE Israeli government and military seemed quite determined, up to last evening, to ignore international condemnation of the ferocious bombardment of Gaza that’s now into its third week.

The unleashing of rockets into Israel from a complex of tunnels by Hamas, the radical wing of the Palestinian Authority, continued to attract huge destruction in lives and property in the Gaza strip of land

that’s part of Palestine.

Israel’s massive daily bombardment of civilian targets in Gaza have included private homes, schools, shops, health facilities and businesses with thousands of women and children among the dead and injured Palestinians with Israel also counting its dead and wounded in terms of a few hundreds.

As hopes kept fading for a ceasefire to facilitate international mediation

and some form of negotiation between the Israeli government and Palestinian Authority-that now includes also representatives of Hamas-the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) yesterday renewed its plea for an end to the military conflict to give peaceful negotiations a chance.

In its first statement within days of the eruption of the bloody conflicts last month, when victims included Palestinian chil-

Rift within the PNCR is evident THE rift is evident and the harshness is pronounced. The spirit among the supporters of Mr. Aubrey Norton seems subdued; the supporters of Mr. David Granger were victorious, ecstatic and joyful.

It was a race for high stakes, a race to determine the course of their entire life. At the race’s end, the price for winning included compliments and insults, telling glances, pelting glasses, physical assaults, countless violation of body and soul.

Extreme nudity splashes itself unchecked. Fear and suspicion on both sides lurk, commitments are tepid, or all too fragile. In the midst of this all, the blogs, the media and most important the conscious minority are in shock and perplexed.

The politics of the world is changing rapidly-violence, intimidation and aggression seem to be the factors to

influence. Good people are no longer needed, society is in chaos. Look around the world the images are heartbreaking.

Nevertheless, as bad as it seems there is hope, the good must take the helm.

They cannot leave it to the Godless. One of the great minds of all times, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said: “The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.”

My God-blessed country is full of good people; good people in every field. The sad reality is that our politicians of today cannot find common ground on many issues.

I hope that I can live to see a real united Government and Opposition where we can all work together for the benefit of humanity and our nation.

I posit this scenario: - An Afro-Guyanese leader of the

PPP/C and an Indo-Guyanese leader of the PNC/R and an Amerindian leader of the AFC. Can you imagine?

Many prominent politicians, media personnel and letter writers are calling for a more confrontational, militant politics. I am not in favour of this. We must pursue the path of compromise, and we must build on our gains and correct our shortcomings. Let us pardon those who wrong us, reach out to those who cut us off and be nice to those who threat us badly. Let us exude mercy, be sincerely grateful and discern intelligently. Life is full of pitfalls, but I still have confidence in our leaders.

May God bless you all and guide you to the path of love and togetherness and cause you to function for the benefit of all the people.

NAZAR MOHAMED

dren asleep in their beds, CARICOM had pleaded for peaceful negotiations.

It was the first regional organisation in the Western Hemisphere to have done so.

More significantly, nor was Israel ready to demonstrate a willingness for peaceful negotiations, as repeatedly urged by major international governments, foremost being Israel’s strongest ally, the USA. Additionally, there

have been the strong mix of warnings and pleas by the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

In yesterday’s statement, released by the Georgetown-based Secretariat, CARICOM reiterated its “ceasfire” call to help bring an end to “the hostilities and the appalling bloodshed being caused by the bombardments, shelling and ground invasion…”

Nevertheless, while the Egyptian government

in Cairo was yesterday continuing to help facilitate mediation, there was little hope for a meaningful breakthrough in negotiations to end the conflicts in favour of direct negotiations for the urgently needed peace talks. The UN Secretary General has already warned Israel against the commitment of what could easily be deemed “war crimes” that included the killings of children.

AT LIFE’S CROSSROADS In another age and clime In a place held sacred and divine, On the battlefield of Kurukshetra The Great War to commence.

No victory worthy, no duty compelling When there is slaughter of relatives and friends, Only ruin and sin can accrue If he must wage this war in truth.

Soldiers in expert military formations Famous heroes with resolute determination, Arjuna, peerless among archers, beheld in the enemies’ line A sight most troubling to his mind.

And so mighty Arjuna, scorcher of foes With opportunity so rare and splendid, To slay oppressors cruel and wicked Decided not to fight.

Saw his Guru, kinsmen and elders in the enemies’ ranks His heart in despair and sorrow sank, Famed Gandiva bow from his hand fell As if in witness to deep anguish felt.

In the arena of decisiveness and blazing action Arjuna overwhelmed in melancholy and sad reflection.

To Bhagwan Shri Krishna, charioteer and dear friend He uttered reasons this unwanted war to condemn.

But his sorrow and despair he could not put to flight Could fathom no relief in sight, From this sudden unbearable plight.

In the very depths of utter despair and losing all composure Arjuna lifted up his heart to Govinda, In supplication and complete surrender.

To the Universal Teacher a disciple seeking guidance Imploring his fears and doubts be put to silence, The shackles be broken of his illusions His path to action clear in all situations.

Arjuna’s desperate cry for freedom Became Govinda’s opportunity for man’s deliverance, Through knowledge absolute, imperishable, purifying and clear To dispel dense darkness of ignorance and fear, Ever clouding man’s intelligence Root cause of suffering and miserable existence.

A clarion call to man When held captive to Maya’s command, At the crossroads of life no clear path to discern When the whole bottom seems to have fallen from his life, Then seeking release from chains forged with his own hands Like Arjuna, must he turn to Govinda.

And as clear as day it will be seen That man is only defeated, When life’s battles he quits And happiness can be found only within himself.

Highlighting our heritage through the visual arts

By Keith Burrowes

ART grabs our attention. It causes us to pause, think and reflect, whilst it plays a critical role in the exploration of the human condition. The importance of art as an expression of Guyanese culture cannot be overstated, as, with a rich her-

7

itage with contributions from at least six ethnic groups, we have plenty to express.

For the purpose of this article, we will be looking at the visual arts, or art that is primarily visual in nature (ceramics, drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, design etc). All the influences of all the migrant cultures appear in Guyanese visual art.

Keith Burrowes

Guyanese art goes right back to when our indigenous people, the Amerindians, etched rock paintings. According to writer Clairmont Chung: “Roots of Modern Guyanese art” on Trinicentre.com, the period from 1972 Carifesta to the beginning of the 1990s is viewed as the “heyday” of Guyanese art, with the unveiling of the 1763 Monument in 1976 as a point of departure.

The 1763 Monument by sculptor Philip Moore commemorates the successful revolution of slaves against the Dutch planter class of Berbice, Guyana.

Soon afterwards, she writes, a ‘Roots and Culture’ Movement flourished, and on the local scene, a unique style seemed to emerge with an eclectic blend of mythology, religion, expressionism, and modernism.

In the same time period, (1975 to be exact) there was a ground breaking development in the local art scene when the E.R. Burrowes School of Art was founded by the late Dr Denis Williams, the then Director of Art and Archaeology within the Ministry of Education.

The E.R. Burrowes School of Art is mentioned here not only because it is a pioneer, but also because of its significant contribution to the appreciation of Guyanese art. One has only to attend one of the school’s grand annual exhibitions to see an amazing cross-section of our art.

Here’s an example of how we showcase our heritage with visual art. As any West Indian knows, cricket is more than a game in these parts, it’s a social force. Imported to the West Indies by the British, at the beginning of the 19th century, as a sport for the elite, cricket became a civil rights struggle of sorts; and today the game has evolved in direct proportion to the colonialist’s determination to establish it as the exclusive domain of propertied, educated and well-bred white citizens.

A picture speaks a thousand words and what better way to express this fierce pride than with dramatic, large paintings which depict these demigods as they defy nature’s forces. The only limit is how far our imagination will stretch.

Devoid of colour, graphite pencil sketches showcase the pride of our culture in their own right. The simple medium eminently serves to highlight the strength and beauty of the Guyanese people they portray.

In short, visual art is high up there on the list of avenues to showcase Guyanese culture.

CRITICAL CHOICES FOR PNCR’S - after party’s 18th biennial congress GRANGER Analysis by Rickey Singh AGAINST the backdrop of controversies based on claims of rigged elections at the 18th biennial congress of the Peoples National Congress Reform (PNCR), the party’s battle-scarred leader, David Granger, has the choice of dis-engaging from ostrich-like politics.

Or, alternatively, to wisely pursue the politics of healing and unity—both within the party and the wider and more challenging national front.

To do otherwise would be to further endanger his leadership role and, by extension also weaken the PNCR’s chances of a return to government—this year or whenever--from which David Granger it was removed in 1992 after the end of institutionalised electoral fraud that lasted for a quarter century from 1968.

While publicly the former Brigadier of the Guyana Defence Force would seek to carefully manage his public denial mode over what seems a favourite political pastime for his party—electoral rigging-he owes it to himself, party and country to seriously pursue a critical re-assessment of why the PNCR should move away from the ole’ politriks in favour of a new brand of structured consultations with the government— in Guyana’s national interest.

This may require, at the outset, a quantum leap in a country which, for far too long, has been afflicted by the rhetoric of national unity from both the governing People’s Progressive Party and the PNCR but with tangible new, creative initiatives sadly lacking.

CLIVE THOMAS In this context, therefore, instead of the glib talking about him not “seeing any damage” to the PNCR’s public image, as a consequence of bizarre occurrences at the party’s

18th biennial congress, Granger should pay heed to the expressed disappointment over his leadership on the vital issue of forging national unity.

A report in the “Guyana Times” of July 26 quoted Dr Clive Thomas as saying that he felt “let down” by APNU’s failure to exercise initiatives with the PPP for “a national unity

government.”

According to Thomas, the expectation by the WPA—of which it is a founding affiliate—was that APNU would have been forthcoming in persuading the governing PPP in the direction of a “national unity” government.

From the inception of the APNU coalition that has manifested as APNU, the intention was “not to contest the PPP for power but to encourage it to form a national government… but there is a gridlock…”

The reality, however, instead of even consultations between APNU--(of which Granger is chairman and the WPA’s Rupert Roopnarine is deputy chairman) and the government—both APNU and the minority Alliance For Change (AFC) seem more committed to confrontation politics.

Hence, the prevailing cynicism when both of these major parties talk in favour of “national unity.”

Latest indication emerged on ‘Emancipation Day’ when, in contrast to the quite positive positions achieved by Guyana on the UN’s Human Development Index (HDI), Granger, the PNC leader and APNU chairman was to come forward

SUNDAY CHRONICLE August 3, 2014

with his strange claim that this country had become more “unstable” and in a “crisis” state with respect to human development challenges.

BARBADOS—OPPOSITION POLITICS Meanwhile, across in Barbados, the big political shock was the unexpected dramatic development on Friday July 25 with the resignation from the party by its former three-term Prime Minister, long-serving leader and member of some 43 years, Owen Arthur.

An economist by profession, who has long been credited as being among the more passionate intellectual advocates for sustaining regional economic integration, the 64-year-old Arthur told shocked supporters and critics alike that he was fed up of being viewed as a “source of (internal) discord.”

Significantly, Arthur’s decision to quit the BLP came within two days of having stayed away from the party’s march of protest against the government’s controversial Solid Waste Tax (SWT)—as earlier reported in the Express.

Some 5,000 supporters had participated in the antiSWT march from Parliament Building to Government Headquarters—distance of about three quarters of a mile, and brainchild of the BLP’s leader, Mottley.

She had led the peaceful protest walk, that included all of the other 11 party parliamentarians—the lone exception being Arthur whose historic resignation she received the following day.

It was the first time for the BLP—one of the Caribbean’s oldest parties—to face such a momentous occurrence from a former Prime Minister with the intellectual stature and as a long-standing leader like Owen Arthur.

Yet, the quietness that currently prevails within the BLP should soon pass as its dynamic and controversy-prone leader, Mia Mottley, and her remaining 11 parliamentary colleagues deliberate on new political strategies in dealing with the Democratic Labour Party’s administration of Prime Minister Freundel Stuart.

Such political developments would have to await the final rounds of celebrations of this year’s “Crop-Over Festival” (Bajans’ ever-popular annual carnival).

Policeman and one other die in Diamond motor cycle collision TWO persons, including a policeman, died on Friday night after two motor cycles collided head on along the main access road in Diamond, East Bank Demerara.

The policeman, was identified as Constable Andrew Forde,

who died while receiving treatment at the Diamond Diagnostic Centre was attached to the Brickdam Police Station. The other person was identified as Stanley Adams, a Security Guard at Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) who was pronounced dead

on arrival at the hospital.

The policeman was reportedly riding east along the access road when he attempted to overtake a car and slammed head on into the other motor cycle.

Relevance of Marx for reducing inequality - Part 3

FROM its inception, Marxist thinking has remained a challenge to the status quo and the ‘powers that be,’ that is, the established order has had no attraction to Marxism. This is not surprising because Marxist ideas address the total transformation of politics and society to culminate in a change in the economic system of capitalism. The established order, a strong advocate of capitalism, would hardly allow a change in its fortunes to be reversed by any new system.

Then there has been another type of challenge to Marxist thinking from a different group of ‘powers that be’ which publicly accepted Marxist thinking, but implemented something else under the guise of Marxism. For instance, the collapse of Stalinism with its so-called socialism in the Soviet Union generally is presented as the death of Marxism.

But Marxism really is an analysis of capitalism, so it is not possible to say that capitalism can be victorious over Marxism (1); for emphasis, let me say again, that Marxism is an analysis of capitalism.

KARL MARX

NIKOLAI SIEBER

In a good part of Soviet ideology, Marxian thinking was presented through the eyes of Hegel, a position contrary to that of Marx; Hegel applied the dialectic solely to ideas, whereas Marx felt that the dialectic should also apply to the material conditions of people’s lives. In fact, Lenin noted: “It is impossible completely to understand Marx’s Das Kapital, and especially its first chapter, without having thoroughly studied and understood the whole of Hegel’s Logic”(2).

The first Russian Marxist Nikolai Sieber struggled throughout many years to negate this view that Marxist thinking should be interpreted through the lens of Hegel, and

Marxism is an analysis of capitalism

just to note that Sieber had Marx’s support on this matter (3). Therefore, given that Soviet socialism carried a narrow interpretation and application of Marxian thinking, then the fall of Soviet socialism could hardly represent the end of Marxism.

Soviet socialism had other contradictions that showed some separation from Marxian thinking. Lenin introduced his ‘new model of socialism’ in the 1920s, but was displaced by the Stalinist system which deprived Russians from ownership, from access to power, and from whatever they produced (4); the Stalinist system, controlling most of the Soviet Union’s history, was a negation of socialism (5).

In fact, the socialist experiment failed in the Soviet

Union largely because its political leaders curbed the freedom for workers to influence society and democracy (6), and the fact that the success of socialism requires its penetration from GEORG WILHELM FRIEDRICH HEGEL the bottom-up involving workers (5); creating workers’ democracy. Placing limits on workers’ freedom works against the development of socialism.

The bottom line is that the collapse of Stalinism in 1989 was not the death of Marxism, for Stalinism was not Marxism. If any collapse happened, it was the collapse of ‘… an authoritarian distortion of Marxism’ (5).

Stalinism relying heavily on state bureaucracy abused political power which reduced the motivational and productive capacity of the Soviet people. Undoubtedly, under Stalinism, a reduced quality of life saturated all sectors of the Soviet

PNCR’s damage control is in full mode

NOT surprisingly, the well-known strategy of damage control is in full mode, following what has definitely been the debacle of the 18th biennial congress of the People’s National Congress (PNC) party. Reading the party’s repair personnel of Granger, Clarke and of all persons, Hamilton Green’s conclusion that the congress was a success, causes OBSERVER to quickly conclude the inevitability of last Sunday’s inter-party war. Maybe, Clarke and Green may be forgiven because of the long chronological distance they have travelled through all their political lives – they are so mentally tired that they have lost touch with the realities of both their world that would have changed since 1992.

By their reckoning, “success” has metamorphosed into a different meaning, for how else could they both, especially Granger, ascribe success to their party’s just ended congress?

For Green to blame the events that led to Aubrey Norton withdrawing his challenge for party leadership, and his subsequent exit from the Congress along with a contingent of followers from Region 10, on a display of indiscipline, disregard for rules and disrespect for authority……….,” further boggles the mind. In fact, such a view supports the strong view that it is still a dictum in that party that incumbency must not be challenged – that the ideology of maximum leader is alive and well.

Such a view is a desperate attempt to prevent the winds

society, ultimately producing a culture of economic and social stagnation. It is critical to understand the continuing relevance of Marxian thinking in today’s world and to see it as an analysis of capitalism, recommending Marxian solutions to crises arising from capitalism, as evidenced by the international financial crisis.

It is instructive to note, that frank and forthright criticisms have come from many prominent party members, inclusive of former Finance Minister and now Member of Parliament and finance spokesperson for the A Party For National Unity, Carl Greenidge and Dr. Faith Harding. What must be emphasised is the fact that the criticisms have emanated from within the party. Thus for the party’s hierarchy to adopt a line of denial with regards the fallout from its Congress, means that this party has become lost within its own labyrinth of dishonest practices; is disregarding of the wishes of its membership; and above all, must be charged with disrespecting the latter, as well.

It is shameful that Green is talking about “ ……….. disregard for rules……..”(His missive in SN: 1.8.14, “SOME FOLKS HAD A HIDEN AGENDA TO CAUSE TROUBLE AT CONGRESS.” He should remember that he has served a party that had repeatedly trampled the country’s electoral rules underfoot, by its continuous rigging of national elections so as to sustain itself in office. Talking about being barefacedly bold!

As a historian, Granger seems not to have read very well the lessons of history. Had he, he would have known that such a response and all that followed at the Congress was indeed of seismic proportions, with possible serious consequences for the future of his party and constituents. This chasm, he should further be aware, will become wider, should he continue to adopt the shocking and bizarre perceived state of aloofness.

He would be better off heeding the wisdom calls for change, and assistance in ushering in the latter.

Guyanese students witness rocket launch in French Guiana

A GROUP of Guyanese science students witnessed the launch of an Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) into space on an Ariane 5 ES rocket from Europe’s Spaceport, Centre Spatial G u y a n a i s i n K o u ro u , French Guiana.

Historically, what they witnessed was the last of the European Space Agency’s (ESA) ATV project, with the launch of ATV- 5 on Tuesday July 29 en route to the International Space Station.

Named after the Belgian scientist who formulated the Big Bang Theory, ATV Georges Lemaître is the fifth ATV built and launched by ESA as part of Europe’s contribution to cover the operational costs for using the International Space Station (ISS). The rocket lifted off

precisely at 23:47 GMT on 29 July (01:47 CEST July 30, 20:47 local time July 29), and carried several spare parts for the ISS, along with ration and oxygen for the crew on board the ISS. The trip to French Guiana was planned and organised by the Ministry of Public Works and Communication, and facilitated by the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) in conjunction with the Ministry of Education.

Top performing students of the Ministry of Education’s National Science and Technology Fair 2014 across the respective regions were selected to be part of this momentous event.

said that Minister of Public Works, Robeson Benn, began a series of initiatives designed to engage Guyanese students in various scientific experiences to further stimulate their interests in the subject.

“Our Ministry covers quite a lot of technological ground in Guyana, particularly, in the areas of engineering, meteorology and aviation. Being able to expose some of our science students to the experience of witnessing the launch of a rocket into space, is but the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship we expect to have with the Ministry of Education, as we continue to collaborate on other projects,” Mr. Frank said.

Prior to the trip, Benn said that the trip was engineered

to expand students’ horizons in the use of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

“It makes them be more involved.”

STUDENTS WHO ATTENDED The students were thrilled by the experience of seeing a rocket launched into space, before their very eyes.

Those who were selected for the trip to the European Spaceport, were: Vivian Henry (Region 1 – Santa Rosa Secondary); Devindra Persaud (Region 2 – Abrams Zuil Secondary); Laksman Ramdat (Region 3 - Zeeburg Secondary); Kenya Maynard (Region 4 – President’s College); Jeremy Baran (Region 6 – Berbice High School), Shonetta Tyrell (Region 7 – Three Miles Secondary); Travis Warner (Region 8 – Mahdia Secondary); Leana Lindie (Region 9 – St Ignatius Secondary); Jahni Williamson (Region 10 – Mackenzie High School); Nicolas Elliot (Georgetown – Queens College); and Dwight Ferguson (Georgetown – St.

Joseph High).

Students were accompanied by Assistant Chief Education Officer, (Secondary), Leslyn Charles, along with two teachers, Colin Moses (St Stanislaus) and Kamini Ramrattan (Richard Ishmael Secondary).

STUDENTS LEFT AWESTRUCK “This is just amazing.

I am lost for words. I will always remember this moment,” Vivian Henry lamented.

“This was a thrilling experience for me. Witnessing this live is momentous. I am really happy to be a part of this experience,” Laksman Ramdat said. I wanted to pursue a career in computer science but now I want to become an electrical engineer.

Moreover I would like to give a heartfelt thank you to the Ministry of Education and GCAA for this opportunity.”

As an aspiring Energy Systems Engineer, Nicolas Elliot said the experience was a rewarding one. “It was without a shadow of doubt worth it, because of being heavily inclined to science; it was truly informative to

see all the theoretical physics and geography intricately combined in order to make the launch a success. I would be most thrilled if these same ventures can be pioneered in my home country, Guyana since I fervently believe that with sufficient interventions, we should be able to perform these activities because we have prime locations and adequate resources.”

Leana Lindie was reeling from the experience. “I am shocked. I never dreamt I would have witnessed this.

I am very happy to be here to share this experience with other students from Guyana.”

Those are just some of the comments made by students immediately after they witnessed the launch of ATV – 5 Georges Lemaître, as it was launched into space. (Joint release from Ministries of Public Works and Education) ATV Georges Lemaître is due to dock with the Station on August 12, 2014, and will remain attached for up to six months before leaving with waste material for destruction along with the spaceship during atmospheric re-entry.

CARICOM calls for an end to Gaza hostilities, bloodshed

THE Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has reiterated its call for a ceasefire and end to the hostilities and appalling bloodshed being caused by the bombardments, shelling and ground invasion taking place between Israel and Palestine in Gaza.

This follows a statement made by President Donald

Ramotar last week to the e ff e c t t h a t t h e c u r r e n t situation is an apartheid one that is horrible from a humanitarian point of view, and amounts to the worst kind of human rights violation.

President Ramotar noted that “this is a tremendous blotch to the conscience of human beings all over the

world, to have something like this taking place.

“This is an apartheid situation that exists, and the relationship that exists with Palestinians and Israelis; it is an unacceptable situation and terrible violation… the worst kind of violation of human rights that is existing at this point in time,” the President stressed.

Destruction and bloodshed continue in Gaza

Denouncing the current situation, which shows no sign of a truce in the near future, President Ramotar joined the call for an end to the situation, while maintaining that this type of action is “condemned most vehemently,” especially during the twenty-first century.

The Caribbean Community is questioning whether the principles of proportionality and the norms of international humanitarian law and international human rights are being respected in the assault on Gaza, considering that the vast majority of those brutally murdered and severely injured are women and children.

Added to this, hundreds of homes along with other civilian buildings, such as schools and hospitals, have been demolished or damaged

to some extent.

“The continuing launching of rockets from Gaza targeting the Israeli civilian population is in breach of these norms, as is the location of firing sites and weapons close to United Nations schools used as shelters, as well as close to concentrations of civilians,” CARICOM has said.

As such, CARICOM member states are calling for all parties involved to cease hostilities and end the intolerable escalation of death, destruction and violence.

An escalation of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict began on June 7, 2014 following a series of events, including the collapse of American-sponsored peace talks; attempts by rival

11

Palestinian factions to form a coalition government; the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers, and the subsequent kidnapping and murder of a Palestinian teenager; and increased rocket attacks on Israel by Hamas militants.

As the war between the Arabs and the Jews continue, the Palestinian death toll up until yesterday had mounted to at least 1,669 people, with more than 8,300 injured and wounded. These statistics were released by the Gaza Health Ministry, which also recorded that over 70% of medical institutes have been destroyed.

Sixty-three Israeli soldiers and three civilians were recorded to have been killed in the Gaza ground offensive as of yesterday.

Samaroo family donates dialysis machine to GPHC

A DIALYSIS machine valued US$38,000 on Thursday was donated to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) in the name of late Krishna Samaroo of DeKendren Canal No. 1 Polder, West Bank Demerara. The machine was handed over to the hospital by Samaroo’s sister Tara Mohamdee at the GPHC Central Stores Receiving Area.

Samaroo died in 2008 at the Balwant Singh Hospital.

According to his sister, no one knew his cause of death, however in his memory, the family wishes to make donations to several institutions, starting with the GPHC. A dialysis machine is one that filters a patient’s blood to remove excess water and waste products when the kidneys are damaged, dysfunctional, or missing.

Nurse in charge of the Renal Department at the GPHC, O’Delevana Kennedy expressed satisfaction on behalf of the hospital for receiving the equipment. She said that the hospital is currently operating on a four - machine unit and with the addition of this new piece of equipment more patients needing dialysis can be accommodated.

Kennedy added that such a machine is not new to the nurses, as they are fully aware of how to operate it.

Gaza: A Little Context

YOU can see why Hamas even if he could Hamas doesn’t want a cease-fire in would just manufacture Gaza yet. It is continuing more of them later unless he the fight in the hope that physically re-occupied the international outrage at the whole Gaza Strip. In recent huge loss of people being days, therefore, Netanyahu killed by Israel’s massive has redefined the objective firepower will somehow, as destroying all the “terror eventually, force Israel to tunnels” that Hamas has dug give it what it wants. to infiltrate its fighters into Hamas would be quite nearby areas of Israel. willing to give up firing its pathetic rockets – which have so far killed a grand total of three civilians in Israel – if Israel ends its seven-year blockade of the Gaza Strip.

Dream on.

Israeli Prime Minister B i n y a m i n N e t a n y a h u ’s goal is harder to define.

Domestic political pressure to “do something” about those pesky rockets pushed Khaled Meshaa him into this war, but now he must produce some kind of success in order This makes no sense at to justify all those deaths: all. In order to protect the around 1,150 Palestinians lives of a few hypothetical and more than fifty Israelis Israeli soldiers who might be already. killed in the future by Hamas But what kind of success fighters using the tunnels, could it be? He cannot over forty real Israeli soldiers destroy all the rockets – have already died. Besides, Hamas shows no sign of Israel can’t stop Hamas from running out of them – and digging more tunnels after

the shooting stops unless it can find a way to ban picks and shovels in the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu needs a victory of some sort before he accepts a cease-fire, but he cannot even define what it would be. So, as he said on Monday: “We should prepare ourselves for an extended campaign.” Meanwhile, the

Binyamin Netanyahu slaughter of Palestinians continues, and sympathy for Israel shrivels even in the United States.

It’s not that the Israeli army particularly wants to kill civilians (although it is sometimes very sloppy), but it does prefer to fight a stand-off war with artillery

(BBC photo) Damaged copies of the Koran are removed from a destroyed mosque in Gaza City

and missiles in order to spare the lives of its own soldiers.

In the crowded Gaza Strip, that inevitably means killing lots of civilians.

The 1.8 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are living at the same population density as the residents of London or Tokyo: about 5,000 people per square kilometre. You cannot use high explosives in this environment without killing a great many innocent civilians, and Netanyahu knew that from the start, because this is Israel’s third war in Gaza in six years.

So the Israelis are being brutal and stupid, and the Hamas leaders are being brutal and cynical. (Hamas doesn’t really use civilians as “human shields,” as Israeli claims, but its leaders know that Palestinian civilians killed by Israeli fire provide them with a kind of political capital.) But this is not to say that the two sides are equally to blame for the killing. There is a broader context.

Before 1948, only about 60,000 people lived on the land now known as the Gaza Strip. The vast majority of those who live there now are Arab refugees, or the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Arab refugees, who fled or were driven out of what is now Israel during the 1948 war.

They are not there by choice.

Israel has traditionally insisted that the refugees freely chose to flee, although revisionist Israeli historians have debunked that story pretty thoroughly. But which story you believe doesn’t really matter. Fleeing your home in time of war does not deprive you of the right to go home when the fighting ends.

Yet the Palestinians have not been allowed to go home, and Israel is adamant that they never will be.

The argument of 1948 still applies: for Israel to remain a state with a large Jewish majority, the Palestinian refugees and their descendants must remain outside it. So most of them are jammed into this narrow strip of territory on the Mediterranean coast – and latterly they have even grown poorer (unemployment is now 40 percent) because they now live under a permanent Israeli blockade.

Israel imposed the blockade after they voted for Hamas, a radical Islamist party that refuses to recognise the legitimacy of Israel, in the 2006 election. Yes, they are more radical than the Palestinians of the West Bank, most of whom are not refugees. But there is no going back, and even in the Gaza Strip most Palestinians know it.

The ancestral lands of the Palestinians in what

is now Israel are lost as permanently as those of the American Indians.

The “peace” everybody talks about is really just about giving them security of tenure and real selfgovernment in the one-fifth of former Palestine that they still occupy. Unfortunately, that is not even visible on the horizon.

When Netanyahu is addressing American audiences, he gives lipservice to a “two-state solution” that includes an independent, demilitarised Palestinian mini-state, but everybody in Israel knows that he is really determined to avoid it. Israel is therefore effectively committed to penning in and controlling the Palestinians forever.

When their objections to this situation get too violent, they have to be disciplined. That is what is happening now. Just like 2009 and 2012.

Rigging, Chaos at Congress Place

- Gates closed to voters THE massive gates of Congress Place, the Sophia headquarters of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) were closed to many party members – several of whom were from Region 10 – even as the voting for new leaders was underway. The locked-out members raised concerns over what they dubbed a “rigged” process to ensure that the incumbent party leader Brigadier (rtd.) David Granger remained in power. Additionally, voting was delayed for several hours due to complaints over the delegates’ list.

Storm destroys buildings, uproots trees and power poles in Linden

A FREAK storm of considerable violence descended on the Upper Demerara mining town of Linden and by the time it had passed, some thirty minutes later, several buildings — including the Linden/Mackenzie Sports Club and numerous homes — had been destroyed; and GPL power poles and numerous trees had been uprooted, disrupting electricity to extensive parts of Linden. A resident who made telephone contact with this newspaper said she was walking home when she heard turbulent winds coming; and although terrified, she managed to save herself by lying flat on the ground and embracing for dear life anything she could wrap herself around.

Sooba denies saying Chase-Green is gay ACTING Town Clerk Carol Sooba has maintained her position that she did not directly relate to any news medium that Deputy Mayor Patricia Chase-Green is “gay.” But she disclosed that she Chase-Green acts in a vulgar manner at statutory meetings. The Town Clerk emphasised that she, in a laughing tone, uttered the words that she is “fearful that the Deputy Mayor might be attracted” to her. This, she said, was apparently taken out of context by some media operatives who related that she said that the Deputy Mayor is “gay.”

TWENTY-YEAR-OLD Dexter Carr was a front-seat passenger in minibus BRR 4735 en route to Georgetown from Plaisance and seated next to 39-year-old Bernadette Campbell. According to Carr, 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 and robbed her. Unfortunately, one of the three bullets intended for Campbell grazed Carr in the abdomen. 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.

Guyana, US reach ‘agreement in substance’ on FATCA

FINANCE Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh has 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, Guyana is now listed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury as one of the jurisdictions treated as having an inter-governmental agreement in effect. The conclusion of the agreement comes after several months of review and negotiations between the US 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.

Home Affairs issues new requirements for passport applications

THE Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA) said with the introduction of the machine-readable passport system, there was a requirement by the Ministry that the Guyana Police Force (GPF) would implement an arrangement whereby members of the public applying for passports for the first time would present to the Immigration Department birth certificates that were issued not more than six months prior to the date of the application. Unfortunately, this arrangement was not implemented by the GPF, as required by the MoHA. Cognisant of the concerns of members of the public, the MoHA, along with the GPF, has reviewed the entire system pertaining to the issuance of passports. Persons applying for passports are asked to submit the passport application form, the birth certificate, one passport –size photograph and a fee of $4,000.

Husband who allegedly infected wife with HIV gets thrashing

A FATHER of two young children on the Essequibo Coast was recently given a sound thrashing by his brother-in-law for allegedly inflicting his 21–year-old wife (the assailant’s sister) with the deadly HIV/Aids virus. Reports are that the young couple, parents of two little children, is currently suffering with poor health and cannot work because of the disease. The husband, who is very weak, was recently subjected to a severe thrashing at his home by his brother-in-law who, according to reports, stamped him several times in his frail chest during the beating, while several residents of the area watched helplessly. Residents in the area are calling for the police to launch an investigation into the sick man’s assault, and for help to be given to the young couple and their two little children.

Eight-year-old Linden boy drowns in Katapuli Creek

EIGHT-YEAR-OLD Kasszel Harlequin of 2409 Central Amelia’s Ward, Linden perished in the Katapuli Creek in Bucktown, Linden, during an Emancipation Day outing with his mother, Alice Harlequin, and other relatives. Reports are that the child was playing with other children in the shallow part of the creek, but somehow ended up in the area of deep waters. A family member got him out of the water and he was rushed to the Wismar Hospital in Region 10 (Upper Demerara/ Upper Berbice), but was pronounced dead on arrival there.

Motionless body on C/tyne H/way…

THE orphaned 17-year-old Haresh Roth, whose motionless body was found along the Number 66 Village thoroughfare succumbed as a result of cerebral haemorrhage and multiple injuries, according to the findings of an autopsy conducted by Dr Vivikanand Brijmohan at the Skeldon Hospital on the Upper Corentyne Coast in Berbice. Incidentally, in 2003 Walter Roth, father of the deceased, was murdered a short distance from where his son’s body was found, and nobody was ever held culpable for the offence. Besides that, his mother Hemwattie set herself ablaze a year after her husband’s death, probably because she had been unable to deal with the challenges of raising her five children alone.

This year, however, what transpired in Hopetown was nothing more than a massive ‘passa-passa’ street fair that

spilled over into open fields and pastures, as thousands of youths from outlying villages gathered to revel in abandon to dance hall selections being blasted from several massive stereo sets.

Nevertheless, a few locations were actually playing the African lullabies and drumming CDs; and to their credit, two nightspots actually celebrated the Emancipation Soiree the way it ought to be done.

Elsewhere, thousands of youths converted themselves into a wild melee, gyrating in abandon in open pastures and inside the compound of the Fort Wellington

Primary and Secondary schools, consuming alcohol, using obscenities, and in many cases having petty disagreements that escalated into fights as arguments brewed and tempers flared.

Drivers fumed inside their vehicles as they were made to wait for long periods to get to their destinations, because young revellers had filled the streets to capacity, giving the police an almost impossible task of clearing the roads. Officers were forced to stop the music at some intervals and have DJs appeal to the revellers to clear the roadway.

While some complied

with the police request, the streets very quickly became filled again the minute the music was turned back on.

Makeshift bars and beverage vendors set up shop at any and every available space, as they tried to make a fast dollar, adding the proverbial fire to the already intolerable chaos created by half-drunken youths milling around. Many smoked marijuana quite openly, adding to the disequilibrium created by the deafening blasts of numerous stereo sets.

He was subsequently extricated from the vehicle and taken to the GPHC, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Investigations are in progress.

unscrupulous characters began to pelt bottles at each other and to spray ‘bass’ as fights broke out, the police on duty had no alternative but to halt the proceedings altogether at sometime before 02:00hrs.

As many left the location, swearing and using obscenities at the action of the police, owners of small shops welcomed them, seeing it as their time to make a fast dollar through the sale of alcoholic beverages to just about anyone.

NOT LIKE BEFORE We managed to chat with at least three adults, who unanimously declared how very angry they were at the unruly behaviour of the youths attending the event.

Beatrice Semple was livid with anger when she vented her opinion on what should be done to improve the event. “This event is a very traditional African venture, and what I have noticed is that the youths, over the years, have taken over and are turning our soiree into a ‘passa-passa’ showdown!

“Years ago, this event was all about folk songs and dances, but now I am shocked to see what is going on. I think the police should stop all these boom boxes, since these are the factors that are attracting unruly youths to this event, and spoiling our show!” she vehemently declared.

The elderly Danesbrie Thomas was practically besides himself with rage at what transpired on Thursday night. “It’s either the police ban this event altogether or find some way of keeping away these promoters who have changed our soiree into a wild and crazy show!!

“It has now become like the Jamaican street dances, and that is why there is no order at the event! I am so ashamed to see what our soiree has become! The youths are not acknowledging their roots, and are insulting the very significance of our emancipation!” he declared.

A fiery Dorothy Joseph was also on hand to vociferously express her concerns over the manner in which the youths have been marring the event. “This is what de soire gan tuh?! I ashame fuh even believe this!!! This is a shame and disgrace to Berbicians, and also to our African traditions! Our forefathers musse turning in deh graves tonight…! This nansense needs to stap right now!! And the police need to ban all dem big set dem promotas bringing out heah! This is Emancipation, not a dancehall showdown!!!” she managed to say in her anger.

WHO CARES? Meanwhile, ignoring the call by the police to retreat to their homes, many youths found unlikely nooks and crannies in which to continue revelling and get from just being intoxicated to becoming drunk as the proverbial fish until the break of dawn.

Only time Habeeb Khan played to

BY ParvatiPersaud-Edwards

“LIGHTS on…..Action…..and there was Habeeb Khan, larger than life on screen in his starring role in the movie, ‘If wishes were horses.’

But the Theatre Guild was practically empty, except for a few hardy relatives of Habeeb Khan and the videographer. The reason for the theatre to be abandoned was because the venue had been allowed the usage by the theatrical community without fans, air-conditioner, sound or other amenities to which there would have been a cost factor; therefore the erstwhile audience remained on the grounds or peered through the open doors, Unfortunately the organisers did not seek the help of the Ministry of Culture, but even at the last minute, very late in the evening when officials from the Ministry heard of the event and the lack of air-con-

the first production of “Nothing to laugh about,” treating them as befitting public personalities from the entertainment industry, and even sharing proceeds from the sale of DVDs of productions; and her artistes remained steadfastly committed to the point of becoming like members of her family.

At that time Habeeb had reached a stage of subsistence where he was being largely ignored by producers; but he became a part of the “Nothing to laugh about/Uncensored” family so he earned a reasonable amount of money from those productions and from the ads they produced. However, Habeeb Khan deserved more than that, because he was indisputably Guyana’s ambassador of comedy in a world where acrimony and strife predominates.

22 at his home in Friendship, East Bank Demerara at the age of 78.

In this universe where war and the exploits of the warmongers are glorified, Ha-

Habeeb, who said that he was the product of a slave and an immigrant, was born in upscale Queenstown to Dr. Khan and Pauline Geraldine Nurse and grew up in affluent circumstances. His mother was of African European mixture but Habeeb always refused to be identified by ethnicity because he always maintained that he was one hundred percent Guyanese.

According to Habeeb his name means “gift from God” – and so he was; because the talent he was imbued with was inherent and gave many people all across the world much pleasure with his extraordinary comedic routines, quick wit and ready comebacks that were second to none in the world.

Born middle of seven children, Habeeb produced more than double that score with his 16 children. Declaring himself to be a true Muslim Habeeb acquired in his lifetime nine wives, the last of them being Doris Sukhwa, whom he said rescued him when he was down and out and with whom he shared a relationship for 20 years. She it was who discovered his lifeless body at about midday on July 22. Habeeb died peacefully in his sleep.

Habeeb said the genesis of his career in comedy lies in the disposition of his late father, whom he claimed was a dictatorial perfectionist; and when his diatribes left any family member forlorn Habeeb would take it upon himself to crack jokes that soon restored good humour in the family.

Rejected after two days at St. Stanislaus College because he was discovered to be a Muslim, Habeeb subsequently attended Central High School, where he honed and nurtured his talent in school productions.

Habeeb rocks a full house at the National Culture Centre ditioning in the theatre they offered to underwrite all expenses so that the patrons could enjoy the evening in comfort, but this offer was ignored by the management of the theatre. The manager declined to speak to the Ministry staffer because she did not think it appropriate as, in her own words: “The Theatre Guild does not belong to the Government.” Indeed, while the Government helped to fund the Theatre Guild’s rehabilitation the entity is run by a management board comprising Dr. Paloma Mohamed, Ron Robinson, Al Crieghton, none of whom were present on Thursday.

Habeeb died in dire poverty because, except for the occasional gigs he got, he received no reliable source of income. When Maria Benschop began her first production of “Nothing to laugh about”, a comedic production that has evolved into a calendar event seven years running, followed as a natural progression by the adult production, “uncensored,” she swore that she would change that equation – and she did.

She started paying her artistes well from

Habeeb’s Facebook profile Habeeb was ethnic cook-up

he can ad lib and his extemporaneous comebacks were often the highlight of a concert.

He boasted of being able to imitate people in seven languages and often convinced people that he was a national of their country, especially India.

Despite performing to sold-out audiences both at home and abroad Habeeb lived at subsistence levels all his adult life, while others got rich off his prolific and mesmerising, belly-aching humour.

He lived off his earnings as a young man washing bottles at Banks brewery, as a labourer in the hinterland and a stevedore on a trawler; all the while honing his talent at the occasional concert to which he was invited to perform, mostly free. However, he persisted until Vivian Lee gave him a starring role in his movie “If Wishes Were Horses.”

He subsequently teamed up with Norman Beaton to form the “4Bs” band, which performed at popular places of entertainment in Guyana and Suriname.

Although, like Habeeb, Beaton was born in Guyana he later became popular as the famous British actor of the television series, “Desmond.”

In his later days Habeeb was employed on a regular basis to perform on Tuesday nights at the Sheriff Restaurant.

Habeeb moved to Friendship after losing his home in Georgetown and there he discovered a communal love and neighbourliness that he never experienced in the city, the way of life he advocated for ending ethnic animosities and bringing Guyanese together to live with love and in unity.

Habeeb brings the house down as he performs at the National Culture Centre ty routines could not offend as he never used bad language and his language was always impeccable.

Guyana’s King of Comedy died (suspected of asthmatic bronchitis) on July

Habeeb’s explanation for the unfenced yard with the padlocked gate was that he did not want to be de-fence-less, which was a pun-nish take on his fenceless yard; but Habeeb, like most highly creative people (not the pretenders) was very defenceless against the sharks of the world who exploit talent to enrich themselves.

Piracy is the bane of producers and artistes, and Habeeb lost much income because of people profiting from stealing and capitalizing from his works. He decried the way he has been treated in his own country while chatting with the Guyana Chronicle, declaring that he is better acclaimed at international fora than in his own homeland; although his repertoire is original and extensive – especially as

Henry Rodney and Habeeb in a memorable performance at the NCC several awards from overseas for his work, including a special one from a New York group for the 2006 Guyana Folk Festival Award and another for “International Comedy” by Gama Awards of Canada.

an empty gallery However, at home in Guyana he lived and performed, with no official acknowledgment of his brilliance and world-acclaim as a comedian and theatrical performer and personality extraordinaire.

He was even overlooked when Guyana hosted Carifesta X with Dr. Paloma Mohamed in charge of cultural events; as were most top Guyanese artists and artistes, with the few who participated claiming shabby treatment and either non-payment or late payment for their services.

But acting Minister of and Tourism, Industry

and Commerce, Irfaan Ali, revealed that Habeeb was slated to perform at GuyFesta later this month, where he would have been honoured for his prolific contributions to Guyana’s world of the arts; which he lamented would now have to be presented posthumously.

Habeeb performed his superlatively hilarious routines on stages worldwide that he shared with, among others, Bob Marley, Ben E. King, Percy Sledge, The Mighty Sparrow and Count Basie; and of each he had a spicy anecdote to relate to highly receptive audiences.

Habeeb takes a last bow

Habeeb had his last appearance at the Theatre Guild recently but, as aforementioned, to an empty house. The highly-entertaining production, painstakingly crafted by veteran comedian Lyndon Jones’ advertising company, was regrettably abandoned because of the intense heat inside the theatre.

Even theatrical stalwarts like Godfrey Naughton made their appearances on stage then exited to remain on the lawn, with Masters of Ceremony Lyndon (Jumbie) Jones and Kirk (Chow Pow) Jardine literally sweating it out in the rank humidity of the theatre as they continued with the programme until the end.

Thankfully the production was videotaped for the benefit of posterity – the theatre world’s last tribute to an indubitable icon of Guyana’s arts.

Unfortunately the organisers did not seek the help of the Ministry of Culture, but even at the last minute, very late in the

evening when officials from the Ministry heard of the event and the lack of air-conditioning in the theatre they offered to underwrite all expenses so that the patrons could enjoy the evening in comfort, but this offer was ignored by the management of the theatre.

The Central Islamic Organisation of Guyana (CIOG) came into being in 1979 after the Jamaats, Masjids and Organisations supported in writing its formation. Since then the CIOG has been working in cooperation with Islamic Bodies to provide necessary services to the Muslim community.

Thus it was that the funeral arrangements and expenses of Habeeb were all undertaken by the CIOG and, after prayers at the headquarters of the organisation in Woolford Avenue last Thursday, Habeeb was taken to his final resting place at the Cummings Lodge cemetery.

Dr. Frank Anthony extends condolences on the passing of Habeeb Khan

Veterans of the theatre world, Lyndon (Jumbie) Jones, Kirk (Chow Pow) Jardine, Michael Ignatius and Sir Mars pay their last respects to mentor, colleague and friend at his funeral service last Thursday

MINISTER of Sports, Youth and Culture, Dr. Frank Anthony, was out of the country and could not have attended Habeeb’s funeral, but he expressed his regrets on Habeeb’s passing and sent the following message of condolence: ““On behalf of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport,and on my personal behalf I would like to extend profound condolences to the family and friends of the late Habeeb Khan. Habeeb Khan was a true patriot.

In his own style, he was able to capture the

experiences and realities of Guyana and Guyanese, often raising difficult questions in a humorous manner. And while he made people laugh, he also made them think about life. Habeeb, over the years, has been able to carve a special niche in Guyana’s cultural landscape. He can be regarded as one of Guyana’s first and finest stand-up comedians. He would be remembered for his pioneering work in comedy in particular, and the arts in general.

May his soul rest in peace!”

Environmental Guidelines for Swine Rearing

What needs to be considered when rearing Swine?

WHEN rearing swine whether on a small or large scale requires much consideration, since the environmental impacts can be far reaching. Air pollution, water contamination, soil degradation as well as human health effects are all reasons why we need to plan and execute this process carefully.

Location Location is very important to swine rearing, Swine rearing should be done no more than 164 feet or 50 miles downwind from residences and water catchments, ideally agricultural lands are strongly recommended. This

should be done to ensure that there is no intermingling of the swine with freshwater catchments used for human consumption. In addition, smell travels and we all know pigs have an obnoxious odor.

Solid Waste Management An overload of nutrients and other substances can lead to soil and water degradation. High-density pig production can release excessive amounts of See page 22

Environmental Guidelines for Swine ...

From page 21

nitrogen and phosphorus into the environment, and the high doses of copper and zinc fed to pigs to promote growth eventually accumulate in the soil.

Hence, it may be more useful to effectively utilise appropriate storage which can reduce the amount of greenhouse gases released, and the production of combustibles through bio-digestion.

How do we manage waste?

• Pens should be cleaned, at least, twice daily. This includes dry cleaning (collection of solid waste without using water) and scraping of solid floors before water flushing and disinfection

(multi-purpose disinfectants may be used).

• Collected manure may be used as a fertilizer on agricultural land. Animal manure has been recognised for centuries as an excellent source of plant nutrients and as a soil “builder” in terms of its positive benefits to soil quality.

The manure from sick animals is not recommended to be used as fertiliser, as it may contain pathogens or residue from medications that could negatively affect the soil, water, vegetation and human health.

• Following collection, animal waste not immediately used may be stored in covered pits or tanks.

Authorization Process In Guyana, a lot of swine rearing is done on a small scale, however, if you are rearing more than 70 heads of swine, you will need an Environmental Authorisation from the Environmental Protection Agency. This will ensure that you benefit financially from your operations while the health and environmental impacts are minimised. So whether you need an Environmental Authorisation or not, try your best to ensure that your Swine Rear-

• Reduce the volume of rainwater in the storage system by covering slurry tanks or lagoons with a rigid roof or floating cover and by placing dry manure or litter in a covered or roofed area. ing Operation is not a nuisance to those around you and that your health as well as the environment is not compromised.

Let’s do it right, the environment is everybody’s business!!!!

National team off to 41st Chess Olympiad THE Guyana National Chess Team departed Guyana last Wednesday for 41st Chess Olympiad in Tromso, Norway for the two-week long tournament.

The team, however, had a minor setback, as Taffin Khan was denied a visa. The reason given by the Dutch Embassy was that the name Taffin Khan is on a terrorist watch list. It also matches his date of birth, as such they were unable to grant him a visa at this time.

The Guyana Chess Federation requests a review, which was granted and was met by the same result.

The team is saddened with the loss of Taffin Khan as he is one of the stronger players the country has right now.

From left: Anthony Drayton, Haifeng Su, spectator and Chess fan Yolander Persaud, coach/manager Wendell Meusa, Maria Thomas and Ronuel Greenidge.

Nevertheless, the other team members departed the Guyana shore to Norway, via Suriname and Amsterdam.

They have assured that they will give a good account of themselves and do Guyana proud. Guyana’s first match was against Albania at 15:00hrs local time.

Guyanese can follow all the games live via the following website https://chess24.com/ en/olympiad2014/games/ pairings. All games will be broadcast live daily.

The Guyana Chess Federation would like t o e x p re s s a h e a r t f e l t

thank-you to the above sponsors, who made this trip possible: Office of the President, Guyana Telephone & Telegraph, National Sports Commission, Caribbean Container Inc, Toolsie Persaud Limited, Oasis Café and Café Bean.

Gavaskar slams India’s surrender … blames complacency for sloppy performance

INDIA’S massive 266run third-Test defeat to England has drawn widespread condemnation, with former great, captain Sunil Gavaskar accusing MS Dhoni’s team of abject surrender in Southampton.

“To lose this Test even before lunch on the final day showed zero resistance whatsoever,” Gavaskar told the NDTV news channel.

“There was no fight and that is a disappointing aspect.

“India’s loss was an abject surrender.”

The result allowed the hosts to record their first win in 11 Tests and to level the five-match series 1-1, after they had conceded the lead in the previous Test at

Sunil Gavaskar Lord’s.

Gavaskar said the sloppy display by Dhoni’s men had given England the chance to overcome the morale-sapping loss at Lord’s.

“India had England on the ropes at Lord’s,” he said.

“I don’t know what they did in the five intervening days before the game but they were sloppy on the field at

Southampton.

“This has been the problem with the Indian team since the 1930s - the complacency.”

The Indian Express said the sudden turnaround in the series left India with a lot of questions heading into the fourth Test at Manchester, which begins on Thursday.

“One Test match can make a lot of difference,” the paper wrote.

“After the Lord’s win, India were on a high. But after Southampton, the team is posed with plenty of problems, while England have a problem of plenty.”

Former captain Sourav Ganguly said he was disappointed that India’s batsmen, renowned for playing spin well, allowed England

tweaker Moeen Ali to claim six wickets in the second innings.

Ganguly also called for the inclusion of opening batsman Gautam Gambhir in place of struggling Shikhar Dhawan and wanted fast bowler Varun Aaron to be given a chance.

“The team needs fresher ideas at the top and Gambhir must be brought in,” he said.

“Aaron has no experience of playing in England, but he needs to be given a chance. A bit more pace and you never know.”

Ganguly was, however, confident India would bounce back in the next Test, saying England were still vulnerable.

Imperious Bolt leads Jamaica to relay gold

By Sam Holden GLASGOW, (Reuters) - Six-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt anchored Jamaica to the 4x100 metres relay gold with an emphatic finish to win his first Commonwealth Games medal yesterday.

The eight-time world champion ran an impressive final leg as Jamaica came home ahead of England and Trinidad & Tobago in a new Games record of 37.58 seconds on a wet night in Glasgow.

Jason Livermore, Kemar Bailey-Cole, who won the 100 metres on Monday, and Nickel Ashmeade ran the first three legs but all eyes were on Bolt, the 100 and 200 metres world re-

cord holder.

The towering sprinter collected the baton level with England anchor Danny Talbot but eased powerfully away to the line with his inimitable long stride to easily secure the gold.

“It means a lot. Commonwealth gold is the only medal missing from my collection,” Bolt told the BBC. “I’m happy to be here and sorry I didn’t manage to run the individual events because the energy out here is wonderful.”

ED

HOTLY ANTICIPAT-

It was Bolt’s first Commonwealth Games and, after a number of high-calibre withdrawals from many of

the track events, his presence in the relay had been hotly anticipated.

The 27-year-old did not disappoint. Looking relaxed before the final he danced to the stadium music and waved to the crowd, who were rewarded with a typically dominant run.

There were concerns that the difficult conditions, with the track carrying surface water for much of the night, could mean the race would not live up to its billing, but the rain subsided in time for a thrilling finale to the athletics at Glasgow 2014.

England’s quartet of Adam Gemili, who took silver in the 100, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, Richard Kilty and Talbot got them-

selves into a promising position to defend the title won by their country four years ago in Delhi.

But they could not contend with Bolt’s blistering pace and had to settle for silver in a time of 38.02 seconds ahead of Trinidad & Tobago, who took bronze 0.08 seconds behind them.

Jamaica’s new competition-best time beat one that had stood for 16 years, when England ran 38.20 seconds in Kuala Lumpur.

The Jamaicans celebrated on the track but the night belonged to Bolt whose gold medal performance was a fitting way to bring the athletics to an end ahead of today’s closing ceremony.

Guyana finish IGG Track and Field day one with 11 gold medals

By Tamica Garnett WITH a number of commanding wins on the track from Kevin Abbensetts, Jason Yaw, Jevina Sampson, and Cassey George, the Guyana team had an easy time taking the lead when the first day in the track and field segment of the Inter-Guiana Games ended at the Guyana Defence Force Ground, Camp Ayanganna yesterday.

With 200 points Team Guyana finished day one with 20 medals, which included 11 gold, and will enter today’s competition with a 36-point lead over trailing contender Suriname. Wins from Kade Pearce, and Natircia Hooper also saw Guyana dominate in the field events as well.

CAC Juniors bronze medallist Jason Yaw defended his title in the Boys’ 400m in a time of 49.6s. The next two spots in the race were taken by Surinamese Uracio Seedrop and Miguel Shepper. Guyana’s Quacy Simpson who was also set to contest the race found himself ousted after a false start.

The most exciting event of the day was undoubtedly the Boys’ 100m dash, where defending champion Guyana’s Kevin Abbensetts faced fierce competition but managed to defend his title.

Abbensetts, also the defending champion of the Boys’ 200m sprint, went head-to-head with his compatriot Tevin Garraway and Suriname’s Romario Pana as he fought to retain his title in the 100m event.

In a thrilling photo finish Abbensetts clocked 10.5 seconds, just edging out Pansa’s 10.6 seconds to second place, and leaving Garraway to collect third on his 10.7 seconds timing.

Abbensetts is set to return today in the 200m, no doubt looking to bring his A-game once again and defend his title. Guyana also took the Girls’ 100m after Shoquane Daniels finished in the top spot.

Another head-to-head battle played out in the Girls’ 400m where defending champion Guyana’s Jevina Sampson faced off against her compatriot Avon Samuels. Sampson managed to hold Samuels at bay, relegating her to second place as she defended her title.

Guyana also took top honours in the male and female 1500m for another consecutive year. Ornesto Thomas defended his title in the Boys’ 1500m, while three-time CARIFTA Games gold medallist Cassey George collected the title vacated by Guyana’s Jevina Straker. George had finished second to Straker in the event last year.

Hooper won the Girls triple jump and high jump, while Pearce struck gold in the Boys’ high jump.

Guyana’s Clarence Green won third in the Boys’ triple jump which was won

by Suriname’s Dave Pika.

Guyana also championed the Boys’ and Girls’ 4x100m relays.

Competition in the track and field division of will end today at the same venue.

SUNDAY CHRONICLE August 3, 2014

WICB hails Guyana’s youth cricket success KINGSTON, Jamaica – President of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Whycliffe ‘Dave’ Cameron hailed the double success for Guyana in regional youth competitions over the past three days and praised the country’s cricket authorities for their resilience.

The Guyanese won the Regional Under-15 Tournament for the third time when they held their nerve in the final round of matches and finished with an 11-run victory over hosts Jamaica last Wednesday at the famous Melbourne Oval in the Jamaican capital of Kingston.

B h a s k a r Ya d r a m ’s side won all but one of their five round-robin matches to top the points table with 25 points and clinch the title they had previously won in 1998 and 1999.

Two days later, Guyana had another reason to celebrate, when they won the 3-Day competition of the Regional Under-19 Tournament for the 12th time. This victory was an extra special for Brian Sattaur’s side, considering they are playing on home soil and it broke a dry spell of seven years.

“On behalf of the directors, management and staff of the WICB, heartiest congratulations to the Guyana Under-15 and Under-19 teams on their victory in their respective regional youth tournaments,” said Cameron.

“We are proud of all of these young men setting themselves goals and making every effort to achieve them.

They have all worked hard and proved to themselves and everyone what can be achieved with the right level of determination and com-

mitment. We wish them all the best for continued success in the future.”

Cameron added: “We would also like to recognise the work of the respective coaches Julian Moore and Andy Amsterdam, as well as managers Andy Ramnarine and David Black for moulding these players into winning units.

GCB congratulates National U-19 cricketers

Shimron Hetmyer

ONCE again, in a matter of days, the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) is pleased to extend heartiest congratulations to another Guyana team for being crowned the WICB Regional U-19 threeday Champions for 2014.

The victorious Guyana Under-19s followed closely on the heels of their younger Under-15 counterparts who just outplayed Jamaica and most of the other teams away in Jamaica to capture that title.

This now makes Guyana the winners of two WICB youth championships out of possible 4 for the year 2014.

Our Under- 17 team had also given a good account of themselves in T&T but, unfortunately, suffered from having one of their games completely washed out.

However, the GCB is extremely encouraged by the professional attitude, dedication and teamwork displayed by this bunch of players.

Our Under-19 boys played like champions and deserve nothing less than the coveted 3-day title which had eluded them for years. Guyana started the tournament a bit indifferently with a draw against Windward Islands but grew in strength and confidence with two comprehensive victories against powerhouses, Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago when our 2 established WI and First Class players came to the party.

The GCB joins with the rest of Guyana in congratulating the management and entire team of players on a well-deserved victory and notes the synergy and teamwork displayed by the entire team.

There were some praiseworthy individual performances from a few players; against Trinidad and Tobago - Tagenarine Chanderpaul held the lone Guyana innings together with a remarkable unbeaten century; and, when Guyana were staring down the barrel of defeat in their second innings against the Windward Islands, Kemo Paul’s determination and resilience resurrected the innings with a brilliant 90.

Against Barbados, Steven Sankar was exceptional with the ball, capturing a 5-wicket haul while Shimron Hetmyer registered a classy century.

The Board now urges the

team to remain focused and make the necessary adjustments for the 50-overs format of the game during the next few weeks and ensure that they make their home advantage count with a third youth championship for this year.

We have been blessed with a month of relative stability on the cricket ad-

Tagenarine Chanderpaul

ministrative front and this environment has been capitalised upon by our youngsters who have demonstrated what can be achieved when determination and stable environment exist.

These young players have proved that Guyana is rich with talent and can produce world class players again once everyone works together to put the interest of cricket and the players first.

The executive and members of the GCB recommit to continue working to move cricket forward in Guyana and further afield.

“Recognition must also be given to the two young captains Bhaskar Yadram and Brian Sattaur for the leadership they showed on the field. With their combined efforts and hard work, they and every member of the team have contributed to success.”

Cameron said the result on the field exemplified the work which the Guyana Cricket Board did to overcome a number of hiccups prior to the tournaments.

“The news of Guyana’s achievement has come as a great delight to all of us at the WICB,” he said.

“We would like to congratulate the GCB for producing these two winning teams, as well as rising to the challenge of hosting the Regional Under-19 tournament, despite all the challenges they have faced recently.

This is testimony to their perseverance, and determination to succeed and restore the game to its pride of place in the country.

“We would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Billy Heaven and his team at the Jamaica Cricket Association for their efforts in organising the Re-

Guyana Under-19 captain Brian Sattaur

gional Under-15 tournament as smoothly as possible.”

Cameron said the two tournaments again highlighted the rich talent among the young players throughout the region who aspire to greatness in the future.

“These two tournaments are very important for us and help to identify at an early age players that may have the ability to play at the highest levels of the game and help restore the rich legacy of West Indies cricket,” he said.

“We urge not just the winning Guyana teams, but every player on every team to continue striving for excellence with the understanding that there are no shortcuts to success and only hard work and the willingness to learn will bring them the rewards which they now enjoy in the future.”

Record U.S. football crowd see Man United beat Real Madrid (Reuters) - The largest crowd to watch a football match in the United States – 109 318 - poured into Michigan Stadium yesterday to see Manchester United beat Real Madrid 3-1 in a friendly.

The appeal of two of the world’s most iconic sports teams attracted fans to the International Champions Cup match at the University of Michigan’s American football stadium in Ann Arbor.

The previous U.S. record attendance for a football match was 101 799 at the 1984 Olympic final between France and Brazil at the Rose Bowl in California.

The largest crowd ever to watch a football match was at the 1950 World Cup in Rio de Janeiro when 173 850 paying spectators came to the Maracana for the Brazil-Uruguay final clash, though unofficial estimates put the attendance as high as 210 000.

Two first-half goals

by Ashley Young proved enough to help United beat the European champions yesterday despite Real’s world record signing Gareth Bale scoring from the penalty spot.

United’s win means they advance to tomorrow’s final in Miami, where they will meet traditional English rivals Liverpool.

The crowd got an added bonus when Cristiano Ronaldo made a surprise appearance for Madrid in place of Alvaro Arbeloa in the 74th minute, having been ruled out of contention before the match with what was reported to be an injured left knee.

Young had opened the scoring in the 21st minute when he capped off a 20-pass move to beat keeper Iker Casillas at his near post from about 12 metres.

Real equalised in the 27th when Bale was

fouled in the box by United defender Michael Keane and then got up to convert the penalty by sending David De Gea the wrong way.

However, it took United only 10 minutes to regain the lead when Young curled in what looked like a cross from the left.

United’s England forward Wayne Rooney timed his run perfectly but did not appear to make contact with his attempted header.

His presence distracted Casillas, though, with the keeper reacting too late to stop the ball curling inside the far post.

United, playing under new manager Louis van Gaal, padded their lead in the 80th when substitute Javier Hernandez headed home an exquisite pass by Shinji Kagawa from close range.

“I think we were fantastic from the first minute to the end,” Young told Fox Sports.

Amazing Russell steals victory for Tallawahs KINGSTON, Jamaica (CMC) – Andre Russell blasted a huge six off the last ball of the game to crown an amazing half-century, as Jamaica Tallawahs snatched an exciting six-wicket victory over Guyana Amazon Warriors, in the Caribbean Premier League here yesterday.

In a rematch of last season’s final, the defending champions Tallawahs chased down 138 to pull off a win that seemed unlikely when they slipped to 62 for four in the 14th over, with the required run-rate climbing to nearly 14 an over.

R u s s e l l , h o w e v e r, changed the course of the game with an amazing, unbeaten 58 from just 24 balls, with three fours and six towering sixes.

His most important blows came from the last two balls of the Sabina Park contest, with Tallawahs needing ten to win, after seamer Jimmy Neesham had conceded just three runs from the first four deliveries of the final over.

Russell creamed the fifth ball, a full toss, over cover for four and with six needed

from the final delivery, smote a length ball several rows back over long-on, to ignite frenzied celebrations among the packed house.

The right-hander put an invaluable 76 for the fifth wicket with Owais Shah who struggled for his unbeaten 21 from 28 deliveries, including a six.

Pakistani off-spinner Mohammed Hafeez bowled brilliantly, taking two for 13 from his four overs to strangle the Tallawahs top order and account for captain Chris Gayle for 22 from 23 balls and Jermaine Blackwood for six.

Opener Chadwick Walton had earlier skied a return catch to left-arm seamer Krishmar Santokie to fall for five in the third over with the score on 15, and when Australian Adam Voges holed out in the deep off off-spinner Steven Jacobs for 12 in the 14th over, Amazon Warriors were fancying their chances.

Enter Russell to transform the game. He cleared the ropes at mid-wicket with left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul for his first scoring shot and Shah joined him two balls later, whipping the

bowler over long on for another six, as the over leaked 16 runs.

Russell then ripped apart fast bowler Ronsford Beaton in the 17th over that went for 19 runs, smashing sixes from the first two balls before clipping a stray one backward of square for four.

With 27 needed from the last two overs, Russell drove Santokie straight for four and then lifted his countryman over long-on for a massive six, before staging his heroics in the final over.

Earlier, Amazon Warriors stuttered to 137 for nine off their 20 overs after they were sent in, with Neesham top-scoring with 35 and opener Lendl Simmons getting 34.

Fast bowler Jerome Taylor was once again superb, taking three for 14 from his four overs while seamer Rusty Theron finished with two for 38.

Amazon Warriors failed to find partnerships, with a 40-run, sixth-wicket stand between Neesham and Chris Barnwell (23), being their best.

Alpha United prepared and ready for CONCACAF Champions League WITH just two days to go before Guyana’s Alpha United open their 2014/15 CONCACAF champions League title chase, the club is making it clear that they are prepared and raring to face Honduras’ Club Deportivo Olimpia at the Guyana National Stadium.

The game marks the second time the Guyanese team have qualified for the CONCACAF equivalent to the UEFA Champions League, dating back to 2011.

“It’s just a matter of taking the field now,” said the team’s president Odinga Lumumba at a press conference hosted yesterday at the Water Chris Hotel.

Alpha United are placed in Group 5 of the Champions League along with Major League Soccer (MLS) side Portland Timbers and Honduran Champions Club Deportivo Olimpia.

The tournament, which is played in a round-robin home and away format, will see Alpha United first host Club Deportivo Olimpia on August 5 then Portland Timbers on August 19 at the Guyana National Stadium.

Alpha United will then trav-

“We’ve been encamped for over three weeks. We have about 20 players and two more to be added.

Got two Nigerian players to come in but they are having some visa problems,” Lumumba said.

The country’s top-club president expressed thanks to the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) and the Guyana Police Force (GPF) who he said have helped to alleviate the headache of finding training venues.

Meanwhile, coach Wayne Dover after the team’s practice

session at the GPF ground at Eve Leary, told Chronicle Sport that his players are patiently waiting to showcase Guyana’s rich talent in the sport.

Dover, Guyana’s best coach in the sport, said that the tournament is important for not only Alpha United, but also for the country, since it would be the only shining light at the end of the tunnel for the sport which is stagnant.

According the Alpha United coach, his team is made up of some of the best players drawn from Brazil, Panama, Jamaica and Grenada, blended with Guyana’s most outstanding players, to form what he assures is a winning formula.

Chattergoon blasts record-breaking 268 … HACC continue domination in SCA tourney

FORMER Guyana youth player Harrinarine Chattergoon blasted an incredible record-breaking 268 as Hawaiian Arctic Cricket Club (HACC) continued their domination of the Scarborough Cricket Association Premier First Division League in Toronto last weekend.

Seeking their sixth consecutive title, HACC demolished their opponents Durham in a .lop-sided encounter.

Taking first strike, HACC reached an astonishing 618 for six in their allotted 50 overs with Chattergoon being unstoppable as he smashed 39 fours and 12 huge sixes in his knock.

Zaheer Allard also joined the run spree with his second century of the season, smacking 138 off 55 balls.

Former National opener Krishna Arjune chipped in with 46.

A disorganised and depleted Durham side who entered the affair with nine players were routed for a paltry 86, losing by a massive 532 runs.

Allard completed a fine all-round performance, grabbing four for 21, including a hat-trick.

The double ton also took Chattergoon runs tally to over 400 for the 2014 season.

Digicel Schools Football Championship Final

‘Multi’ vs Waramadong - redemption or Extension

By Rawle Toney THE Digicel Schools Football Championship has certainly united communities to support their respective teams. It has also helped in the development of the game and from it players have undeniably excelled to become some of the game’s future stars.

But with 138 schools participating and $1M up for grabs to go towards a project of their choice, it all boils down to the two teams who share a history of rich rivalry and have certainly shown that they are a cut about the rest – Waramadong and defending champions Christianburg/Wismar Secondary (Multi).

The Guyana National Stadium will be the venue for an epic showdown between the schools from Regions 7 and 10. But first, a clash between Bush Lot Secondary

and Beterverwagting (BV) Secondary from 16:00hrs will determine the third-placers.

This will mark the fourth consecutive time Multi are playing in the final, while Waramadong are making their third trip.

In the inaugural tournament, the Lindeners used penalty kicks to evade the boys from the CuyuniMazaruni region in the semifinals but went on to lose 5-3 to GTI in the final.

In the 2012 tournament, the Upper-Demerara side were powerful and made light work of Waramadong in the final, winning 5-2.

L a s t y e a r, h o w e v e r, Waramadong were poised to win, but a couple of late goals by the champs forced the game to penalty kicks where Multi once again were superior and recorded their second title.

The question now is: Can

Red Steel down Zouks by eight wickets EVIN Lewis’ third consecutive fifty anchored a facile chase for the Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel, who eased to an eight-wicket win over the St Lucia Zouks yesterday in Gros Islet. Lewis hit three fours and five sixes in his 59 off 39 as the Red Steel reeled in St Lucia’s 117 with 31 balls to spare.

St Lucia’s loss officially eliminated them from playoff contention. The Red Steel, Tridents, Amazon Warriors and Tallawahs have secured the four playoff spots meaning the final eight games of the CPL 2014 regular season will decide seeding for the semifinals which don’t begin until August 13.

The Red Steel won the toss and elected to field first, with Shannon Gabriel putting the Zouks under pressure early by removing both openers inside the first three overs to leave the home side 5 for 2. Later on he dismissed Keddy Lesporis for 22 with a fan-

tastic one-handed return catch and was eventually named Man-of-the-Match after finishing with 3 for 20.

Dwayne Bravo and Kevon Cooper did just as much damage as Gabriel, claiming 3 for 33 and 3 for 26 respectively. Lesporis and Andre Fletcher (24) were the only two of the top six in the Zouks lineup to make double-figures as they struggled to bat 20 overs. Ray Jordan was last man out in the 20th, bowled by a Cooper yorker for 9, with one ball left in the innings.

Ross Taylor starred in the field, taking four catches including a one-handed screamer over his head at slip in the first over to give Red Steel an early lift. Later on he teamed up with Lewis for an 89-run second-wicket partnership to eliminate any hopes for a Zouks upset.

Taylor eventually finished 35 not out at the non-striker’s end as Nicolas Pooran hit a six over long off to finish the match.

(ESPN Cricinfo).

FLASHBACK! Multi celebrate after winning their first Digicel Schools football tournament in 2012. They went on to win it again in 2013 and aiming to repeat today.

Waramadong redeem themselves or will the defending champions tighten their already powerful grip on the winners’ trophy and extend

their reign as champions?

What makes the game even more interesting is that the styles of play between the two schools are vastly

different.

W h i l e Wa r a m a d o n g strive better on keeping possession of the ball and playing short and tight passes,

Multi play more forcefully, using their height and power to full advantage.

Also, Waramadong are a much younger team and are lacking in size. The Linden squad is made of a few players who will be playing their last Digicel tournament.

Shane Luckie and Donavan Francis are the two forwards who have dismantled the defence of all the teams they have faced and it’s without a doubt that Waramadong will have their hands full, trying to stop the destructive duo.

But the playmaker and danger-man for Multi is their 6’1” midfield player Duquan Hercules. His on-the-spot passing, coupled with his breathtaking free-kicks, has made him into one of the most dangerous players on the defending champions’ roster.

Scores of fans are expected to cram into the National Stadium today to see who will win – will it be extension or redemption.

Guyana Festival welcomes participation … bowls off this Saturday of illustrious trio FORMER West Indies captains Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Ramnaresh Sarwan, along with former national leg-spinner Arjune Nandu, are some of the players expected to feature in this weekend’s Guyana Festival at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, from 16:00hrs.

Former Guyana and West Indies opener Clayton Lambert has also joined the impressive line-up of players for the Guyana Festival cricket match, which will pit the Masters team against the President’s XI. A football game is also set for the day’s activities, but with the lineup of Guyana’s prestigious crop of players, both past and present, scheduled to compete, Festival officials have given

the assurance that spectators will be entertained as Guyana’s past and present ‘greats’ in the cricket fraternity meet on the field.

Apart from the quartet mentioned above, some other names expected to be on show during the day’s action include Carl Hooper, Lennox Cush, Mahendra Nagamootoo, Clive Lloyd, Sudesh Dhaniram and Narsingh Deonarine.

Other players joining the teams include former Guyana and West Indies players Alvin Kallicharran, Faoud Bacchus, Travis Dowlin, Neil McGarrell, Clyde Butts and Dereck Kallicharran, the younger brother of Alvin Kallicharran.

These games are just a component of the activities planned for the three days

of the Guyana Festival to be held under the theme: “Sound, Soul and Taste”.

This inaugural event comprises a mixture of the

country’s traditional music, dance, food, arts and craft being exhibited at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, from August

8 to 10.

While both Chanderpaul and Sarwan went on to represent the West Indies, Arjune did not since he migrated in

1992, after playing four firstclass matches for Guyana in which he took five wickets at an average of 49.40.

Chanderpaul remains a steadfast fixture in the West Indies middle-order for which he has scored 11 414 runs at an average of 51.88 with 29 centuries, while the 34-year-old Sarwan has not featured in the Regional side since 2011 when the Windies faced India at Kensington Oval in Barbados.

Nevertheless, it would be a spectacular sight for fans who are asked to pay an entrance fee of $1 000 to witness the action or gain entry to the venue via their Festival Passport, which is on sale for $3 000 that will also guarantee them entry into all activities during the hosting of the Guyana Festival.

Powerhouse Suriname take IGG Swimming with 208 points … French Guiana end with 200 points; Guyana grab 16 medals to finish third

By Tamica Garnett G U YA N A’ S B r i t a n y van Lange collected another two gold medals from her performances in the Girls 19-and-under 100m and 200m freestyle events at the Inter-Guiana Games yesterday, as Guyana finished third in the swimming division of the multisport event.

As the swimming segment concluded yesterday at the National Aquatic Centre, Guyana closed with 146 points in third place, while French Guiana’s 200 points placed them in second spot.

Swimming powerhouse nation Suriname finished eight points ahead of French Guiana to emerge as the swimming champions at the Games, in which the countries also vied against each other in track and field and basketball.

Guyana ended with an overall 16 medals - four gold, four silver and eight bronze - of which eight were

garnered last Friday on the opening day of the competition.

Olympian van Lange, who had gleaned Guyana’s first gold medal on Friday, added two gold to her coffer after clocking 1:01.36s and 2:21.33s in the 100m and 200m freestyle respectively.

The Goodwill Swimming Championships gold medallist overtook Suriname’s Chantell Peiter who clung to second place off a 1:04.36s finish barely surpassing the 1:04.77s achieved by her compatriot Gabrielle Breidel for third place.

In the 200m freestyle, van Lange proved to be more than French Guiana’s Leane Lopez could handle. Lopez finished three seconds behind van Lange clocking 2:24.39s, while Breidel took another third place with 2:31.70s.

Complementing the two gold medals achieved by van Lange was the silver in the 19-and-under Boys 200m freestyle where Omar Ad-

overpowered only by Suriname’s Yael Tjouw who finished the race in 2:04.41s.

Another silver medal came when Guyana Girls, anchored by van Lange, fin-

ished second in the 50m freestyle relay, clocking 1:59.30s. Her team mates were the Girls 100m breaststroke bronze medallist Sanmoogan and the 50m backstroke silver medallist Soroya Simmons.

Sanmoogan clocked 1:34.34s in the breaststroke which was won by French G u i a n a ’s G a e l l e Ta r c y who finished in a time of 1:22.32s. The Girls 50m backstroke was won in 33.71 seconds by Suriname’s Anjali Rahan, while Simmons clocked 34.59 seconds. Guyana also took third spot in the 50m backstroke with Accalia Khan in 35.03 seconds.

Also sharing in the day’s medal haul was Goodwill Swimming Championships silver medallist Hannibal Gaskin, who needed 57.71 seconds to take third place in the Boys 100m freestyle.

Gaskin was also part of the Boys 50m freestyle relay team who finished third in 1:49.00s.
