Search for downed Trans Guyana aircraft comes up empty - Rescue operation to resume at first light

By Leroy Smith IT has been confirmed that a Canadian pilot, who also holds a Guyanese passport, and a Guyanese resident are missing after the Cessna aircraft in which they were travelling fell out of the sky.

The craft, a Cessna Caravan belonging to local domestic carrier, Trans Guyana Airways, is suspected to be lying in dense forest in hilly Cuyuni-Mazaruni area of Region Seven.

It reportedly went down sometime after 10:00hrs shortly after take-off from the Olive Creek area where it was based.

It was also confirmed that the craft was ferrying cargo, but what was not specified.

The name of the missing pilot has been given as Blake Slater, while the other missing person has ben listed as a Cargo Loader.

Representatives of the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and other agencies which form the Emergency Rescue Operation Team quickly mobilized and, within hours of the incident, briefed the media at a press conference held at the

SAR flight crews at Olive Creek, Mazaruni late yesterday after the search was aborted (Photos courtesy of Captain Mike Charles) Command Centre at Timehri, in the presence of Transport Minister, Robeson Benn.

A member of the team confirmed that the aircraft had been shuttling between Imbaimadai and Olive Creek, and because of the location of its operation, it was difficult for the tower to pick up its radio communication. However, in such cases, pilot would communicate with their companies, which are mandated to immediately communicate with the tower at

In yesterday’s case, it was reported that the pilot had indicated that he was experiencing difficulties and that the aircraft was going down. That transmission was picked up by another aircraft operating close by, and based on the information given by the pilot who called in distress, the other craft immediately diverted to the area, but could not find any sign of the distressed craft.

Another aircraft also departed Ogle to render assistance, according to its fuel resources, but nothing was spotted.

The media was told that while the craft’s exact crash position was unclear, it could be surmised from its flying position at the time of the incident, based on the latitude reported by the pilot when he called in distress; and that is also being added to the elapsed time between the craft’s take off and its transmission of distress.

Based on calculations, seven minutes after the plane had taken off, its call of distress was made.

The two planes which were diverted to undertake the initial search were assisted by a chopper from the Guyana Defence Force and one from Air Services Limited. Moreover, the Guyana Defence Force had mustered men on the ground, awaiting word on when to venture further into the jungle to pinpoint or locate the craft and those on board.

The rescue team also questioned several persons in the Olive Creek and other areas whether they had heard or seen anything that might be useful to the search. That

Finance Minister finds...

APNU budget talks claims ‘a cheap publicity stunt’

By Vanessa Narine

RESPONDING to Opposition Leader David Granger’s claims of being sidelined from the budget consultations, Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh has said his invitation to the main Opposition coalition for budget consultations has been met with “stony” silence.

In a statement issued yesterday, the Finance Minister said, “My most recent email, dated January 13, 2014, indicated Government’s invitation to meet on Budget 2014, and requested Mr. Greenidge to suggest a date during the past or coming week.

“The email was also copied to Messrs. David Granger, Lance Carberry, Khemraj Ramjattan, Dr. Roger Luncheon and Ms. Gail Teixeira. The email also contained copies of documents to be discussed.

“To date, my invitation has been met with stony silence by Messrs. Granger and Greenidge.”

The Finance Minister dubbed Granger’s claims a “cheap publicity” stunt. He said Granger’s claims, recorded in an article published in the Kaieteur News yesterday under the headline “APNU says it’s being sidelined from Budget consultation -- will force implementa-

tion of reforms if concerns not taken on board”, reflect a blatant lie by the main Opposition coalition.

NOT THE FIRST

Dr Singh said, “It is also important to note that this is not the first invitation that has been issued to the Opposition to discuss the 2014 Budget, as a Government team has already initiated discussions with the Opposition in the latter part of 2013.

“I do not wish to speculate on whether this was a case of an internal breakdown in communication in the leadership of APNU between Messrs.

Finance Minister Greenidge and Granger, but Dr. Ashni Singh the fact of the matter is that the Government of Guyana has issued an invitation to the Opposition to meet, and that invitation

has not received a response.”

The Finance Minister flayed the Opposition Leader for his apparent interest in only “engaging in attacks in the media and political grandstanding”, both acts he termed regrettably based on misrepresentation of the facts.

“Mr. Granger would be well advised, instead of occupying himself with making accusations in the media, to instruct Mr. Greenidge to respond to my email dated January 13, if he has the authority to do so,” Singh said.

He added that Government remains open to meet with the Opposition, as has always been the case. “We look forward to a response by the APNU to our invitation to advance discussion on Budget 2014,” the minister stressed.

Efforts at tripartite talks have been made since President Donald Ramotar had made a commitment in 2011. However, those efforts have been challenged by the inability of parties to reach a consensus.

The last meeting between the three parties, the 2013 budget consultations, ended on a bad note. Consequently, the opposition parties gutted the budget by $31.4 billion, reducing it from $208.8 billion to $177.4 billion.

Within a few months, the national budget will be presented to the National Assembly.

CGX secures injunction against Repsol - in latest move to reclaim shares in Kanuku licence

By Vanessa Narine CGX Resources Inc. has obtained from the Commercial Court of Guyana an injunction order restraining Repsol Exploracion from proceeding with its announced 30 per cent farm-out of the Kanuku petroleum prospecting licence to RWE Dea AG. The ruling was made on Friday, January 17, by Justice Rishi Persaud, sitting in the Commercial Court in Guyana, and is pending the hearing and determination of the arbitration proceedings commenced by CGX Resources against Repsol, according to an announcement made by parent company CGX Energy Inc. yesterday.

CGX Chief Executive Officer Dewi Jones said, “CGX Energy is pleased with the decision of the Commercial Court, and will continue to work towards protecting the interests of its shareholders by pursuing this claim against Repsol.”

MOVE TO THE COURTS The parent company announced, on December 23, 2013, the commencement of an arbitration proceeding under the rules of the London Court

of International Arbitration. The legal proceeding against Repsol is in connection with the expiry of the petroleum prospecting license covering the Georgetown Block.

CGX contends that Repsol allowed the jointly-held Georgetown license to lapse, contrary to is obligations as operator of the block, and then also in bad faith immediately applied for sole ownership of the Kanuku license, covering essentially the same area as the Georgetown license, thereby excluding CGX’s shareholders from their rightful stake in the license.

On December 30, 2013, Repsol announced that it had reached agreement to farmout 30 percent of the Kanuku License to RWE Dea, despite CGX’s legal challenge. However, regulatory approval from the GGMC had not yet been procured by Repsol.

In view of Repsol’s announcement of an intended farm-out, CGX sought injunctive relief in Guyana to prevent Repsol from farming out the license until the court of arbitration had ruled on the matter.

In a statement released yesterday, CGX has advised that its challenge is related solely to Repsol, and that the issue at

hand is a corporate matter and in no way impugns any regulatory agencies within Guyana.

The company has also expressed its interest in continuing in the license with or without Repsol, and did so in accordance with the terms of the JOA. Repsol, in turn, has unilaterally decided not to pursue renewal of the license, and then seek a new license on its own.

GOING FORWARD Also commenting on the court’s decision was the company’s co-Chairman, Professor Suresh Narine.

He said, “When the Georgetown Block partners decided to cease drilling and plug the Jaguar 1 well due to safety considerations, CGX Energy immediately indicated its intention to continue exploring the Georgetown Block, because we strongly believe in its prospec-

tivity, as we indeed strongly believe in the prospectivity of the Guyana-Suriname Basin.

“This latest step with the courts in Guyana seeks to further protect our shareholders’ rights with regards to the results uncovered by the Jaguar 1 well.

“CGX Energy has a long history of operating and in supporting law and order in the basin, and this injunction is a significant endorsement of those who want to ensure an orderly functioning of the petroleum industry in Guyana, as more players enter into the basin.”

The company, in its statement, made it clear that it is “highly motivated” to speedily resolve the issue, so that it and its partners can “expeditiously continue activities designed to realize the goals of its shareholders and the Government and people” of Guyana.

Those stated goals are: to find commercial quantities of petroleum in the basin. It is therefore open to Repsol to ne-

gotiate a satisfactory and speedy conclusion to this issue.

The company’s general counsel, Michael Galego, commenting on the company’s move forward, said: “CGX is still very much committed to exploring the Guyana-Suriname Basin, and we hope that we can resolve this dispute with Repsol and move forward with drilling our next well.”

CGX tried to engage Repsol constructively to resolve this dispute, around the middle of last year. However, Repsol declined to engage in any discussions.

The consensus among stakeholders is that the decision not only ensures that no move can be made by Repsol before the matter is resolved, and therefore prevents the situation from becoming complicated, but also it sends a strong message internationally that the legal landscape in Guyana is one which is in accordance with international law, and that

all companies can rely on a robust legal system to protect their operations and investment.

Several international companies have expressed concerns about operating in foreign jurisdictions, because of perceptions of how difficult it is to ensure adequate legal recourse, and the decision is said to be one that sends a strong message about Guyana’s regulatory environment.

IMF, UN officials among 21 killed in Kabul suicide attack charismatic owner, Kamal Hamade, was also killed.

“We are devastated by the news,” Michael Smith, president of AUAF, said in a statement.

After the initial blast, sporadic bursts of gunfire were heard over the next hour. The two gunmen inside the Lebanese restaurant, located in Kabul’s diplomatic enclave, were shot dead by police, an Afghan official said.

Most foreign forces are preparing to leave Afghanistan this year after more than a decade of war. Afghanistan watchers fear the Taliban will intensify attacks in the run-up to an election in April to find a successor to President Hamid Karzai.

At odds with Washington over the terms of the bilateral security pact that governs the withdrawal, Karzai is still deliberating whether to allow some U.S. troops to stay on.

If no agreement is reached, Afghan forces could be left to fight the insurgents on their own.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for Friday’s attack, calling it revenge for a U.S. air strike earlier this week that had also drawn condemnation from

By Jessica Donati and Mirwais Harooni KABUL- (Reuters) - A Taliban suicide bomber and gunmen attacked a restaurant popular with foreigners in the heart of the Afghan capital Kabul, killing 21 people including three United Nations staff and the International Monetary Fund’s top representative in Afghanistan.

Gunmen burst into the Lebanese restaurant spraying diners with bullets after the bomber blew himself up near the entrance around 7:30 p.m. local time on Friday, just as people had sat down for dinner.

Thirteen foreigners were among those killed, according to police, and details about the victims began to trickle through yesterday.

The U.S. State Department said three U.S. private citizens were killed. Britain and Canada confirmed they each lost two nationals and Denmark said one of its citizens also died.

By midnight, the operation to clear the area was still under way, with police nervously flashing lasers at passing cars and people on the dark, dusty streets.

The restaurant had been running for several years, and was a favourite haunt for foreigners, including diplomats, contractors, journalists and aid workers.

A couple of armed guards were usually on duty at the front entrance, which led to a courtyard in front of the main ground floor dining room.

The suicide bomb attack took place at that entrance, but accounts differed over where the gunmen had entered from.

“The target of the attack was a restaurant frequented by high-ranking foreigners ... where the invaders used to dine with booze and liquor in the plenty,” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in an e-mailed statement, written in English.

Karzai issued a statement yesterday condemning the attack, using the opportunity to swipe at the United States for not doing enough to fight “terrorism.”

“If NATO forces led by the United States of America want to be united and partner with the Afghan people, they have to target terrorism,” he said in a statement. Karzai believes Washington could do more to

UN PEACE SEEKER KILLED The IMF’s representative in Afghanistan, 60-year-old Lebanese national Wabel Abdallah, was one of the diners killed.

He had led the fund’s office in Kabul since 2008.

“This is tragic news, and we at the fund are all devastated,” Managing Director Christine Lagarde said in a statement. “Our hearts go out to Wabel’s family and friends, as well as the other victims of this attack.”

The United Nations initially said four staff were killed, counting the IMF’s representative in the total. The other three included a Russian, an American and a Pakistani.

The Russian was a senior U.N. political officer trying to negotiate a start to peace talks with the Taliban.

“You can imagine the effect it has had on staff members here,” U.N. spokesman Ari Gaitanis told Reuters.

A British Foreign Office spokeswoman said two Britons were killed in the attack.

Del Singh, a British opposition Labour Party candidate for the European Parliament, was one of British victims, and the other was serving with the EU Police Mission in Afghanistan.

A Dane serving with the mission also died.

12-minute film has desired impact in fight against violence

By Vanessa Narine TWO young children who have been dropped off at their grandmother’s say goodbye to their parents, and with the touching exchange of ‘I love yous’ tinged by a tangible level of apprehension, you know something is about to go tragically wrong.

This is how the 12-minute film, Rebecca’s Story, began as it premiered last evening at Cara Lodge.

Set in a Georgetown suburb, the story of bravery – standing up for change to fight gender and child violence – made its mark on the many stakeholders gathered to view the most recent advocacy tool. The tale that unfolds tells of the struggle of a teenage girl and her young brother, two orphans, now permanent guests of their grandmother, who is an alcoholic with a violent streak.

The children endure physical and verbal abuse at her hands until a neighbour, a young boy, takes notice. Bravely, he uses an educational opportunity, an invitation to a reading class, as a means to bring some change to the children’s lives.

Although ignored by the

old woman, Rebecca reciprocates the brave gesture with one of her own, and indicates her willingness to participate in the class.

Referring to her grandmother as a “jaguar” in the brief narrations that were interspersed in the 12 minutes of depiction, Rebecca finds out that the seemingly indomitable beast, like most everything, is vulnerable.

Flashbacks of the old woman’s teenage years reflect her own history of abuse.

Soon enough, Rebecca’s bravery is once more evidenced as she recognizes the vulnerability of the “jaguar” in her life, and bravely approaches her grandmother, who it turns out is illiterate, with a promise of support.

One brave act led to another, and soon enough her grandmother acquiesces when Rebecca asks her to consent to her participation in the reading class.

The next time the young neighbour came calling, his reception was different.

The story, albeit short, is impacting as it evidences the impacts of bravery and its consequential benefits.

Rebecca’s story is unde-

niably one of life-changing transformation through empowerment, courage and determination.

NOT THE END However, the end is not really the end; rather, it is the first filmmaking exercise by Guyanese youth involved in the Witness Project, a community youth initiative supported by the Margaret Clemons Foundation (MCF), which is a New York-based non-governmental organization (NGO).

It is the group’s most recent effort to use the arts to change the culture of violence in Guyana.

Under the motto, ‘What we see changes who we are’, the Witness Project has been making waves in civil society, and boasts a membership of 25 young people who were responsible for making the film.

Programme Director of the Witness Project, Guyana, Rosheni Takechandra, told the Guyana Chronicle that the group was established in 2011, and Rebecca’s film is the third major activity to advance change in Guyana with support from partners. The other two include participation in the worldwide

Search for downed Trans Guyana aircraft ...

From page 2 information would do a great deal to assist the team to determine where exactly the craft might have gone down.

Because of the area where the craft went down, the rescue team was asked about the possibility of its occupants remaining alive and making it to a populated area; and team members indicated that should the two men be alive, their first sighting of a populated area would be approximately ten to fourteen miles from where the craft is suspected to have gone down.

It was, however, pointed out that both the area and the terrain would prove difficult for persons on the ground to see what was transpiring above, and it would likewise be hard for airborne rescuers to see what is happening below. It was therefore highlighted that, in similar operations, rescuers would be forced to rappel and move in on foot to get to the exact location of crash sites, because of the mountainous areas.

The Rescue Centre made it clear that because it would not risk the lives of the rescuers, night searches can only be conducted based on the information provided, and even then there would be limitations.

The first criteria that would facilitate night search is the information received with respect to the location of crash sites, and those searches at night would be conducted only by those on foot, since the choppers cannot effectively carry out such searches. The underlying factor prohibiting aerial searches is the terrain and the ability of the pilots to navigate at night in such rugged terrain.

The rescue team would not divulge the identities of the

men in the distressed aircraft until their exact situations have been determined, including their state of health and the fate of the aircraft.

However, it was pointed out that the pilot had to be experienced, since he would have had to complete a minimum of 200 hours of flying in similar areas and under supervision.

The Rescue Team was also reluctant to consider that the aircraft might perhaps not have been airworthy.

Head of the GCAA pointed out that at the end of each day’s work, pilots are mandated to complete a log which asks detailed questions about any problem encountered during flight.

The log is then reviewed, and once there has been a problem, the plane does not get off the ground until that problem has been satisfactorily addressed.

Meanwhile, reports at press time was that there has been no sighting of the missing aircraft, despite its being outfitted with all of the appropriate emergency

equipment, including an Emergency Locator Beacon.

A check with the US Mission Control Centre (USMCC), from whence information concerning aircraft ELT signals are transmitted, has confirmed that they have not been in receipt of any signal from the missing aircraft’s beacon.

According to a release from the GCAA, the search was called off at 18:00hrs due to the poor lighting, but will resume tomorrow at 0630hrs. In the interim, an aircraft was scheduled to be deployed to overfly the area of interest during the course of the night to look for any signs of the missing aircraft.

Search and Rescue Units, two helicopters and an Islander and a Cessna Caravan and the GDF Special Force Officers will continue with the search operation tomorrow, commencing from an area identified as the area of interest.

Additional personnel will also be deployed from the coast to assist with the search.

Margaret Clemons, founder of the Margaret Clemons Foundation, which supports the community youth initiative, the Witness Project (Photos by Cullen Bess-Nelson) ‘Inside Out’ campaign and a weekly page in the local press.

“We are partnering with the Ministry of Education, Help and Shelter and other likeminded organisations which support training and capacity building,” she said.

According to her, in making Rebecca’s Story, the Project’s members benefited from skills training.

Asked what would be the next move for the short film, Takechandra said it is expected to be aired on the Education Channel and in schools. “We

also hope to submit it to the Caribbean Film Festival this year,” she said.

The Programme Director added that all of the activities of the Witness Project are intended to send a clear message, a call for change.

PARTNERSHIPS Education Minister Priya Manickchand also attended the screening of the film. According to her, the level of violence is higher than “any reasonable” person should be comfortable

5

with.

She acknowledged the role of NGOs in the fight against gender and child violence, and in moving Guyana to the place it is now, although there is still some way to go.

The minister noted that the kind of advocacy being done by the Witness Project is laudable, and she thanked the commitment of Margaret Clemons, who inspired the creation of the witness project.

Clemons, in a brief statement, noted that no one group can make a difference by itself; rather, it must be through partnerships.

Funding for the activities of the local Witness Project, in addition to support from partners, is secured through fundraising activities.

Clemons’s Foundation acknowledges the toll violence against women and abuse of children have exacted on communities worldwide, as well as its continued impact on all aspects of society.

The MCF supports programming that creates sustainable change through creative and integrated learning, expressive therapy, and community art initiatives.

Changing attitudes and social practices that currently contribute to violence and aggression calls for innovative programmes designed to make a lasting difference.

Battling criminality and road carnage

GUYANA is among the countries of the Caribbean Community that are most afflicted by an epidemic of murder and robberies, as well as frightening levels of deaths and serious injuries from road accidents.

The shooting of an armed robber at the home of an Annandale businessman on Friday night, and the deaths, by accident, in the Essequibo of a 72-year-old father and his 44-year-old son, both overseas-based, while walking back to their home are the latest of such human tragedies.

It seems quite evident that if there is to be an effective campaign against gun-related murders and robberies, as well as curbing the carnage on our roads, there must be serious involvement of the citizens of this nation, irrespective of politics, race and social status.

And those in the habit of attacking the police and offering excuses for the spreading epidemic of criminality should consider engaging in some critical self-examination of how their posturings are contributing to emboldening killers and robbers.

They should, for a start, think of how helpful they could

be in embracing a national anti-crime campaign by, for example, becoming involved in the network of Community Policing Groups (CPGs) mushrooming in various parts of the country to assist the police in ensuring a rule of law environment across this nation.

The launching last Wednesday of a Community Policing Group at No.76 Village in the Corentyne was a reminder that there are now 266 such groups, involving over four thousand (4,000) Guyanese, of various races and classes, according to the Ministry of Home Affairs.

What a commendable effort by these Guyanese who sacrifice sleep and rest, and commit themselves to helping the Guyana Police Force to arrest the spiraling wave of killings and robberies that are affecting citizens everywhere -- in the capital of Georgetown, in towns and villages, mining, manufacturing and commercial centres -- everywhere and in various ways.

Political parties should cut their opportunistic, divisive, self-serving sabre-rattling politics, and focus instead on how they could more effectively cooperate in the huge battle against criminality that affect, in so many ways, normal life, causing

EDITORIAL fear and even panic among citizens.

It is better to focus on national mobilization against the armed robbers and killers, rather than to unintentionally encourage them by launching unwarranted attacks on the police. By so doing, they would inspire the professionally committed ranks of the GPF to do some house-cleaning of their own when it comes to exposing and lawfully dealing with the alleged corrupt cops among them.

The time is overdue for citizens to engage in a national campaign against the criminals, BEFORE we sink to the dangerous levels now causing national horrors in some other CARICOM states.

In the meanwhile, new policies and strategies must evolve to implement an effective national campaign against carnage on the roads, often resulting from drunken driving and reckless speeding.

Subject Minister promises to take swift action

By Vanessa Narine

ACTING Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce (TIC), Irfaan Ali says his Ministry can only advise commuters not to pay the fare increases being imposed on commuters by public transport operators.

“We can just advise commuters; we cannot do anything more… We have not had an official complaint. If we get a complaint, we will deal with those persons (public transport operators),” he told the Chroonicle yesterday.

The first increase of fares was levied last December by the Route 32 operators. Public transport operators on Route 44 did likewise a few weeks later.

Both routes are demanding increases of as much as $60 to the standard fare.

Route 31 minibus drivers and hire car operators staged a major strike last Wednesday, leaving hundreds of workers and schoolchildren stranded as they demanded an increase of $20.

In all of this, Minister Irfaan Ali maintains that the increases are illegal, and must be reported.

“We continue to advise consumers that they are not to pay any increases;the increases are illegal. Consumers should report the increases to the police station or to the Ministry.

“There is no justification for the increases, as our advisory has said.”

He noted that there is with public transport operators a standing agreement which clearly states that in the absence of increases in gas prices, there cannot be any increase in fares.

“The Ministry of Finance is continuously making adjustments to keep gas at a certain price…there is no justification for an increase,” Ali said.

Minister Ali reiterated his call for commuters to report the arbitrary imposition to the police or the Commerce Ministry, and not pay any increases.

HELPLESS The Guyana Chronicle spoke to several commuters, and they maintain that while the ministry has made its position clear, they face a different reality.

One teacher on Route 32 said, “It is not a case of not reporting the case; but when you report it, the bus drivers ‘pass something’ to the police and nothing comes out of the report. All you end up getting is

--but only on receipt of complaints

waste time.”

A woman who works in Georgetown told this newspaper that she uses the Route 44 minibuses, and they demand a $60 increase on the standard fare.

She said, “I used to have to pay $140., and now the bus drivers want $200. I have to get home, so I pay it. If you don’t pay it, what you gon do, walk home?

The five per cent they (Government) give you done on passage

to go and come from work.”

The consensus from commuters on Route 31 is not much different.

One man said, “The Government needs to do something, because the problem will get bigger, and then what will happen?”

PROMISE Early in 2013, Transport

Minister Robeson Benn promised an investigation into the unregulated hike in minibus fares across the various routes at nights, when commuters are asked to pay double.

In late 2012, there was talk of the introduction of 30-seater buses; but, to date, there has been no word on the status of this initiative.

At the time of a major bus strike in 2011, a number of big buses were deployed around the various bus parks, and worked throughout the day to ferry commuters around.

Minister Benn was then overlooking the arrangements, and 30-seaters and larger buses were taking persons home free of cost.

Minister Benn, at the time, had also acknowledged being told of several instances of conductors and driver physically assaulting passengers who were unwilling to yield to their demands.

The introduction of this relief measure during the strike action was much to the chagrin of minibus operators, who held on to their demand for higher fares.

Unilateral fare hikes by minibus operators have been an intermittent cause of concern to the travelling public over the last few years.

Gunman remains critical in hospital as search continues for accomplices

By Leroy Smith

THE gunman who was shot in Friday’s morning intrusion at Annandale, East Coast Demerara is, contrary to earlier reports, very much alive but in critical condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital, the police confirmed yesterday.

The confirmation comes one day after the lawmen had announced that the intruder had been shot dead during the commission of the crime.

Reports are that the police revisited the crime scene yesterday, and took statements from persons living there and in its environs.

Attempts however to confirm whether they had been able to capture the critically injured gunman’s two accomplices proved futile, as were our efforts to ascertain whether they had made any headway with gathering information about the men and where they reside.

On Friday, the police had launched a search for the other two men who, together with the shot bandit, had attempted to carry out a robbery when the businessman, a licensed firearm holder and a rural constable, challenged them.

Two firearms have been recovered from the scene, and those have been handed over to the police.

RECAP At approximately 02:00 hrs on Friday, an occupant of the Lot 10 Church Street, Annandale home got up to use the washroom when he heard the family’s dogs barking aggressively. The man alerted his son, a licensed firearm holder and a rural constable, who successfully managed to challenge the intruders. This family also operates a taxi service and food business elsewhere.

The foregoing information was subsequently confirmed by a report from the Guyana Police Force (GPF), which stated that the shooting occurred when businessman, Ishwar Jeffrey, 49, was aroused by the barking of his dogs. He awoke his son, Mananno Jeffrey, who is a rural constable and a member of the Annandale North Community Policing Group and is licensed to use the CPG’s gun.

The latter armed himself, and on checking, was confronted by the trio in the building. Police said one of the three discharged a round at Mananno Jeffrey and he returned fire, grievously wounding the shooter, while the other two managed to escape. A .38 revolver with three rounds and a spent shell were recovered in the house, and another .38 was retrieved outside.

Speaking with this publication, Mananno Jeffery said that after his father had alerted him to the presence of the intruders, he looked outside and observed one of the men forcing himself through a bathroom window to get into the house. He hurried to descend to the lower flat of the house, but while he was halfway there he encountered the bandit, who had already made his way

through the window. As the intruder spotted him and pointed a gun in his direction, he opened fire on the man, but missed his target.

The man then ran down the stairs and concealed himself in a room in the lower flat of the building, intending to escape, but that was not possible since, unlike the window the man had used to gain entry into the house, the bedroom windows were all grilled.

Mananno said, “Knowing very well that the bandit could not escape using the windows in the room, he waited patiently outside the room for the man to exit.

The intruder spent about five seconds in the room and then fired a warning shot before attempting to exit the room. Mananno said he was unfazed by the shot, since he had already taken cover and was just waiting for the man to exit the room. As the intruder exited the room, he shot the man in the jaw, severing his tongue and shattering his teeth and gum in the process.

Mananno told the Chronicle that after he had shot the

first bandit in the home, he dashed outside to confront the other two, but they had already scaled the fence and made good their escape, leaving a .38 revolver behind.

Back in the house, the intruder was still alive and was sitting up. When the police arrived approximately one and a half hours after the incident, they asked the intruder if he wanted to go to the hospital, and he responded in the positive.

Jeffery showed this newspaper the window through which the intruder had entered the home, and he even pointed to a bullet hole which was left in the wall after the bandit had fired his warning shot before he thought it was safe to exit the room.

The intruder had also left behind a band which is reportedly used by thieves to prevent their detection or capture.

A total of seven persons live in the house which had been targeted; they comprise five adults and two children, aged eight and four.

CARICOM’s big agenda battle in St. Vincent - PM Gonsalves note to EU chairman on DR law

THE new Chairman of the 15-member Caribbean Community, Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves of St.Vincent and the Grenadines, has lost no time in signaling an “activist mood” to help resolve lingering problems, and advance the work agenda of the regional economic integration over his six-month stint in that rotating top position.

And within the first two weeks of succeeding Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar of Trinidad and Tobago, he has already forwarded a letter to President of European Union, Jose Manuel Borroso, inviting him to treat, as a matter of urgency, CARICOM’s anxiety for the Dominican Republic to revise its new controversial immigration law that renders stateless more than 250,000 persons of Haitian descent who are Dominicans by birth.

Declaring CARICOM’s deep concern over the EU’ s public silence on the DR constitutional court’s endorsement of the controversial immigration legislation, Dr Gonsalves referenced the position of the Inter-American Commssion on Human Rights (IACHR), which deemed the law immoral, discriminatory and for arbitrarily depriving those Dominicans of their nationality.

Noting the EU’s silence on the court’s “outrageous decision”, Gonsalves pointed out that CARICOM has already decided to cease doing business as usual with the DR, and to place on hold its quest for membership of the Community.

He has requested President Barroso to use his good offices for an urgent review the EU’s relationship with CARIFORUM---the mechanism by which CARICOM and the DR engage together with Europe on trade, investment and related issues—rntand deal directly with the Caribbean Community until the government in Santo Domingo shows willingness to reverse the obnoxious law.

AGENDA ISSUES Of course, CARICOM’s firm stand against the DR’s deprivation of their Dominican nationality that has now rendered them stateless, is one of the major issues on the packed work agenda now in possession of Heads of Government for their first Inter-Sessional Meeting

next month in St.Vincent and the Grenadines The reality is that quite a few Heads of Government are facing serious domestic financial, social and economic challenges of their own, host Prime Minister Gonsalves among them.

The harmful consequences of the phenomenon of climate change that resulted in, for instance, last month’s pre-Christmas devastating flood waters in the Eastern Caribbean—including St Vincent and the Grenadines,---as well as the steadily climbing threat to citizens

‘FOCUSED ATTENTION” CALL

PRIME MINISTER RALPH GONSALVES

Jose Manuel Borroso

security posed by rampant criminality—are among the bundle of pressin issues identified for the work agenda.

Reflecting his awareness of the looming challenges confronting the regional in general, Gonsalves observed that he would be hosting the coming inter-sessional meeting in admittedly “difficult national circumstances and in a regional and international context fraught with economic uncertainty, existential threats arising from climate change; multiple exogenous challenges and home-grown regional burdens…”

The Prime Minister of Barbados, Freundel Stuart, for one -facing as he is, the current challenge of presiding over an economy in crisis, and with growth forcecast at less than one per cent in 2014 -- could readily empathise with Dr Gonsalves’ assessment.

Egypt Referendum GENERAL Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who led the coup against Egypt’s elected president last July, has one of the finest collections of military headgear in the entire Middle East. Perhaps that’s why he has still not admitted that he plans to become the next president: He can’t decide which hat to throw into the ring.

His own explanation for his shyness comes straight out of the Aspiring Dictator’s Handbook: “If I nominate myself, there must be a popular demand, and a mandate from my army,” he told the stateowned paper, Al-Ahram.“When Egyptians say something, we obey, and I will never turn my back on Egypt.”

Egyptian generals are deeply patriotic people, and three others before Sisi have sacrificed their own desire for a quiet life in order to rule Egypt: Gamal Abdel Nasser (1956-70), Anwar Sadat (1970-81), and Hosni Mubarak (1981-2011). In fact, the last three years have been the only time in the life of the great majority of Egyptians when a general has not been running the country; and Sisi seems ready to make the supreme sacrifice too.

A mandate from the army shouldn’t be hard to get, since he runs the whole organisation. And as far as “popular demand” is concerned, Sisi is clearly planning to use a “yes” vote in this week’s referendum on the new Constitution as proof that the people want him for president.

The new Constitution will be the third in four years. It replaces the one that was written and adopted (also by referendum) during the brief, unhappy rule of President Mohamed Morsi, who took office on June 30, 2012, and was overthrown on July 3, 2013. It removes the “Islamic” changes that Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood wrote into the last one, which should appeal to secular Egyptians; but that’s not what makes it attractive to General Sisi.

The new clauses, that only a soldier could love, include one that gives the Egyptian military the right to appoint the defence minister; and another that says the military budget will not be subject to civilian oversight. It also retains the much-criticised clause that allows civilians to be tried in military courts. Sisi reckons enough civilians will vote for it, anyway, some because they hate the Islamists, and

So, too, would be Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar, whose country --hailed last month by the World Bank as “one of the wealthiest and well developed nations in the Caribbean region” -- is currently staggering from climbing murder rates with some 23 killings already for this month.

some because they are just tired of all the upheavals.

Maybe they will, because the whole Arab world is suffering from revolution fatigue: The “Arab awakening” has caused such turbulence that many people would find a return to the old dictatorships almost comforting. It’s true even in Syria, where some of the rebels are starting to talk about making a deal with the Assad regime in order to isolate the Islamist extremists, and hasten the end of the war.

There has been no war in Egypt, but about a thousand of Morsi’s supporters were massacred in the streets of Cairo by the “security forces” last summer, and the Muslim Brotherhood has been declared a terrorist organisation. There have been many thousands of arrests, not only of senior Muslim Brotherhood members but recently of secular critics of the of the military regime as well.

Egyptians are frightened and exhausted, and Sisi apparently thinks they will gratefully accept a return to army rule (behind a democratic facade). But his nervousness is showing: There’s barely a wall in Cairo that is not covered with “Yes” posters and pictures of Sisi, while people trying to put up “No” posters get arrested. Sisi is probably right to be nervous.

In late September, three months after the coup, Zogby Research Services carried out an extensive opinion poll in Egypt for the Sir Bani Yas Forum in Abu Dhabi. It revealed that confidence in the army had already dropped from 93 percent to 70 per cent, and it probably has gone on dropping.

General Sisi and former President Morsi had almost equal support in the country -- 46 per cent for Sisi; 44 per cent for Morsi (who now faces trial for “inciting his supporters to carry out premeditated murder” and various other alleged crimes).

But Morsi’s trial was postponed last week, from January 8 to February 1, allegedly because bad weather prevented him from being flown from his prison in Alexandria to Cairo for the trial. That’s a rather long spell of bad weather, and besides, it’s only two-and-a-half hours by road from Alexandria to Cairo. One suspects that the military regime did not want Morsi to make his first public appearance since the coup just before the referendum.

Yet, for all the social and economic challenges facing regional governments and institutions, Prime Minister Gonsalves is of the view that there are two issues that the CARICOM leaders “cannot reasonably avoid for focused attention.” These he has identified as the quest for reparations for Native genocide and African slavery.

Further, he feels that this first half-yearly meeting of the Community’s Heads of Government must be prepared to demonstrate firm commitment to fulfilling a decision of the CARICOM Bureau to hold the line against doing business as normal with the Dominican Republic. Hence, his letter to the EU’s President to consider dealing with CARICOM directly, instead via the CARIFORUM mechanism.

Another sensitive issue requiring priority attention would be to overcome the recurring problem of IMPLEMENTATION of what’s known as “Community law” governing intra-regional freedom of movement of CARICOM nationals. It is an issue that would undoubtedly reference the landmark decision of the Caribbean Court of Justice in the case involving Barbados and the Jamaican national Shanique Myrie.

CARICOM citizens will gladly welcome new initiatives to bring an end to the recurring denial of free intra-regional movement. After all, it is a problem that mocks the letter and spirit of the revised CARICOM Treaty that provides for a single economy.

But, at the same time, the blood-letting from gun-related murders across the region must, of necessity, inspire new, creative initiatives to combat the horrors of criminality afflicting too many member states of our Community.

The Zogby poll also revealed that an overwhelming majority of respondents blame the last military regime, under Hosni Mubarak, for the problems facing Egypt today.

All in all, this is hardly a firm foundation on which to complete the counter-revolution and build a new military regime.

The likeliest outcome of the referendum on the new Constitution this week (Tuesday and Wednesday) will be a modest majority for the “Yes”, but on a very low turnout. If it is lower than the mere 33 per cent who voted in the referendum on the last Constitution in 2012, then Sisi may have to reconsider his plan to run for the presidency.

SUNDAY CHRONICLE January 19, 2014

The U.S. should wake up and smell the coffee of a new dispensation THE Guyana Government recently rejected the USAID-funded $300 million democracy project because of the U.S. Government’s possibly limited consultation with the Donald Ramotar Administration. And, notwithstanding the Guyana Government’s stance on this matter, the U.S. Embassy subsequently declared that it will proceed with the project. The U.S. democracy project is couched within the framework of the U.S. Foreign and Defense policy of overseas State-building activities geared toward failing countries. Perhaps, the U.S. Government perceives Guyana as a failing country. Let me explain further.

The Cold War is over. Yet, the U.S. today remains wedded to Cold War sentiments that encourage the belief that weak and failing countries pose a danger to the U.S. These dangers include terrorism, regional chaos, crime, disease, and environmental hazards. Within this context, the U.S. believes there is good reason to develop a dominant national security narrative to address these concerns.

This security narrative took the view that the U.S. had to stabilize failing countries through

State-building activities. These activities gained momentum around 1994 with the CIA funding of a State-failure agency, the Presidential Decision Directive 56, and then the 9/11 catastrophe encouraged a sharper radar on failing states.

We see such U.S. efforts at State building in Iraq and Afghanistan. But after more than a decade, and trillions

foreign policy strategy. These explanations are based on Professor Michael J. Mazarr’s paper on the “The rise and fall of the failed-state paradigm, requiem for a decade of distraction” in Foreign Affairs (January/February 2014 issue). The U.S. foreign and defense policy of stabilizing failing countries through state-building activities is a

‘...the report that the Ramotar Administration only had limited input in the USAID-funded $300M democracy project as a State-building activity for Guyana should be of concern to the Guyana populace... the alarm bells must be constantly ringing as well when you consider that USAID would be a major force in this project’ of dollars spent, the U.S. has done little to stabilize Iraq and Afghanistan. In fact, the U.S. overseas State-building activities are now waning, as the U.S. fixation with failing states was more mania rather than any comprehensive

failure in many parts of the world. Most recent examples of such failures are Afghanistan and Iraq.

Consistent failure as an outcome, indeed, is an improper model to emulate. So the report that the Ramotar

House passes Bill to regulate land surveying profession MINISTER of Natural Resources and the Environment Mr Robert Persaud has said that, given the growth in all sectors of the economy and competition for land (housing expansion, development of natural resources, etc), the important role of land surveyors and land surveying cannot be understated.

The minister made this point in the National Assembly during the debate on the Land Surveyors (Profession) Bill on Thursday evening. The Bill, which is a product of extensive consultations with relevant stakeholders including practitioners and the private sector, was passed with the unanimous support of the House.

Minister Persaud said that as it stands right now, Guyana does not have sufficient land surveyors, even the Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission (GLSC) does not have a full complement of these professionals to meet the developmental needs of the public and private sectors.

Over the years, the Government has sought to increase training and training activities and in this regard, 10 surveyors graduated in late November last year. Minister Persaud explained that as a result of the high demand for surveyors, there have been Minister Robert Persaud many complaints of the quality of work and work ethics.

He said the need for the profession to be better regulated was recognised and that measures are put in place in instances where there are no institutions and mechanisms to manage the profession more effectively.

The Bill seeks to establish a board of land surveyors that will be tasked with managing the profession. This Board will also be responsible for putting the necessary arrangements in place so as to ensure that land surveyors are properly trained and certified.

Minister Persaud pointed out that there are lots of loopholes and often many individuals in this profession “get away with murder”. He said the ministry is looking to put an end to this, and will be putting in place a code of conduct, as well as associated penalties for practitioners who are found to be in breach of same.

Meanwhile, APNU Member of Parliament Rupert Roopnarine, who also proposed an amendment, said this Bill breaks new ground in setting out the regulations to which surveyors must adhere. He expressed satisfaction with the fact that this new Bill parts ways with the old Act, in that it divests powers away from the minister. The Land Surveyors’ Act was last amended in 1973. (GINA)

Administration only had limited input in the USAID-funded $300M democracy project as a State-building activity for Guyana should be of concern to the Guyana populace. Not having been afforded the opportunity to input the project is one thing and which certainly would raise a red flag. But the alarm bells must be constantly ringing as well when you consider that USAID would be a major force in this project. Consider Paul Collier’s comments on a USAID project in Africa: Congressional commercial lobbies had some control over USAID, producing benefits to certain American

for increased international funding for health. Around 1984, the United States House of Representatives’ (part of Congress) Select Committee on Hunger hired two BFTW members as staff (Quinley and Baker, Am J Public Health 1986; 76:793-796.)

How objective and fair would these two staff members be in relation to advancing their former organization’s cause when compared to furthering the overall terms of reference of the Select Committee on Hunger? What, if any, congressional commercial lobbying interest drives the USAID-funded $300 million

Perspectives

the concept of a ‘failed state’ points to the presence of many problems, where all are to be resolved by one huge solution; the ‘failed state’ concept is wrong because these many problems realistically would require tailor-made solutions and not ‘the one size fits all’ approach (Call, 2008).

As a resource-constrained society, Guyana needs international developmental assistance, but where that assistance clearly outlines considerations compatible with the needs and interests of the society. The Cold War is over. And so the former U.S. state-building activities

Commercial lobbyists’ attachment to and penetration of the U.S. Congress, USAID and other U.S. Government aid agencies cannot be discounted in their influence on the quality of outcomes for overseas countries. For instance, the influence of a large non-denominational Christian lobbying group Bread for the World (BFTW) on Congress

democracy project in Guyana?

Under these circumstances, the Guyana Government may want to engage the U.S. authorities in a holistic discussion on the democracy project, if only to eliminate any conflict of interest and to ensure that the project is related to Guyanese needs.

It is possible, too, that the USAID sees Guyana as a failing state vis-à-vis its state-building democracy project. Should that be the case, then the premise for the project is wrong because

in failing overseas countries to expand its regional geopolitical significance, in order to shore up its own national security interests, is no longer an acceptable dispensation.

Given this new political dispensation, the U.S. use of a failed state as a criterion for overseas state-building activities is totally false. It, therefore, should wake up and smell the coffee. There is a new brew, a new political dispensation awaiting the U.S. overseas!

Frustrated lawyer accuses authorities of protecting ASL boss - magistrate begs to differ

By Telesha Ramnarine ATTORNEY-AT-LAW Gino Persaud charged Friday that the authorities, including the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), have been “protecting” ASL (Air Services Limited) boss Ahamad Mazahar Ally from the inception of his being charged with five offences.

Ally, of Lot 64 New Haven, Bel Air, Georgetown, had pleaded not guilty to the five charges, namely: Insulting language, assault (two counts), threatening behaviour, and calling a person a name other than his own.

He initially appeared in court on January 31, 2013, and was sent away on his own recognizance.

The virtual complainant in the matter is Ogle International Airport’s Security Chief, Harold Hopkinson.

Attorney, Mr. Neil Boston, appearing for Ally on Friday, continued cross-examining Hopkinson before Sparendaam Magistrate Alex Moore. A recording of what transpired on the day in question was played in court by means of Hopkinson’s laptop. The contents, filled with indecent language, were transcribed by the magistrate and repeated several times over by the magistrate and lawyers.

Meanwhile, Persaud told the court that the authorities, including the DPP, were written to on the matter, but he never received a response from anyone.

The magistrate advised Persaud that his court has the power to summon anyone, including the DPP and the Police Commissioner, should that become necessary.

This case has been adjourned to May 6.

Several homeless after early-morning fire

SEVERAL persons were rendered homeless in a fire that started at approximately 02:30 hours at a two-flat house at Lot 9, Charles Street Charlestown, Georgetown, and completely destroyed that home and severely damaged a three-storey property in which several persons lived.

No one could say what exactly caused the fire, although speculation was fire that the fire might have been electrical in origin.

The Guyana Fire Service came in for some really harsh words yesterday, after persons alleged that firemen entered their rooms to battle the blaze but carted off items which were not supposed to be removed from the home.

The burnt property had housed several rooms for which persons paid individual rental. They said that their rent monies were removed, and their passports and several other items are missing.

Sooba has allegedly paid in full for the services of a lawyer in a matter that has nothing to do with the M&CC. “It is most inappropriate for her to expend such large amount of funds on her own personal use. She cannot be trusted to handle the council’s money if she is going to spend it on her own use. This is not the first time.

Remorseful wife killer gets 10 years imprisonment

By Jeune Bailey Vankeric KUMAR Ranji Singh was last week sentenced to 10 years imprisonment by Justice Dianne Inshanally after she took into consideration a plea in mitigation, counseling received by religious persons and psychiatric treatment.

The former cane harvester, who seemed satisfied with the sentence, was initially indicted for murder but pleaded guilty to the lesser count of manslaughter, which was accepted by the State.

In addition to the three and a half years which was spent as a remanded prisoner, the judge noted that it was not made clear by the Prosecution how the injuries were incurred.

She questioned whether it could have been accidental and noted, too, how the main witness, the nine-year-old daughter of the prisoner changed her story, saying one thing in her evidence-in-chief and another during cross-examination.

“So, I have started with 17 years. Two years have been deducted for the plea of guilt as he has thrown himself at the mercy of the Court; another three and a half years have been subtracted for the period spent in prison and an additional one and a half years for the mitigation factors. Your are sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment,” Justice Inshanally told the convict.

SUPREME BEING Prior to thanking the judge for pronouncement, Singh lifted his head skyward and muttered in an apparent recognition of a supreme being.

Earlier, in a statement from the dock, the prisoner had told the Court:”Your Honour, I am a baptised Christian. I worked hard and honest to maintain my family. They were never short of anything. I am sorry. Please be lenient.”

Meanwhile Defence Counsel Kim Kyte-John, in a mitigating plea, pointed out that the convict had thrown himself at the mercy of the Court and taken responsibility for his role which led to the unfortunate act.

“With respect to domestic violence, society says it is on the rise but the peculiar facts need to be dealt with, as it is not on every occasion the male party is the aggressor. These are times when the female is the aggressor. Both husband and wife have seemed to have relied on violence to solve their difficulty.

“My client has a wound on his hand which was inflicted before this incident.

“The only credible account of what transpired that day was from the caution statement, the version revealed by the nine-year- old was

recanted in the caution statement. The pathologist said the injury could have been sustained by the deceased falling on a knife. My client throws himself pleading for leniency. He still has a minor in his life. Your Honour, as the old people say, every story has two sides.”

Relating her version, State Prosecutrix Renita Singh said the prisoner was living with his wife for approximately 26 years when they began to have martial difficulties which resulted in their separation.

On July 23, 2010, the prisoner left his home at John’s, Port Mourant to go to the shop when he saw his wife and their daughter walking ahead of him.

PHYSICALLY ABUSIVE They went into the grocery shop together, and whilst waiting to be attended, he pleaded with his wife to return home but she became KUMAR RANJI SINGH physically abusive.

He continued to plea and he said she took a knife from her handbag and tried to bore him but he grabbed it from her and they fell on the ground.

According to the Prosecutrix, Singh said he saw blood on his wife’s neck and, thereafter, told the victim that he was going home to kill himself.

He subsequently went home, tied a rope around his neck and tried to hang himself but was rescued by the Police, who took him in an unconscious state and he was admitted to the New Amsterdam Hospital.

However, according to the couple’s then nine year old daughter Amanda Singh, on the day she accompanied her mother to the shop, and whilst they were in the yard of the business premises, she opted to sit in a hammock, where she saw her parents speaking to each other, before her father ‘bore’ her mother.

Anna Regina IMC halts credit to stallholders, vendors THE Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the Anna Regina Town Council has taken a decision to stop all credit to stallholders and vendors in the Anna Regina and Bush Lot markets, from January 1.

The matter, concerning an outstanding amount of some $7M owed to the Council by some vendors and stallholders, was raised at the first statutory meeting this year on January 2.

Councillor Rajendra Prabhuall called on the IMC to apply the Market By-Laws which state that the tenancy of every stall shall be on a daily, weekly or monthly basis and the rent thereof shall be payable in advance.

He stated that when the IMC came into existence, it inherited the huge debt in which some vendors and stallholders are indebted millions of dollars for the rental of stalls, tables and spots.

Prabhulall said the IMC made several efforts to collect the outstanding amounts but payments were made very slowly by the defaulters.

He demanded that the IMC take a very firm stand and set a three weeks period for the collection of the entire $7M outstanding.

SORE ASPECT Prabhulall said another sore aspect in the collection of revenue is where another $7M is due in market fees, that was also inherited by the IMC. He said the problem was discussed on many occasions at meetings of the council and with defaulters who promised to pay up but the payments are very small as compared to the huge debt.

Prabhulall urged drastic measures be taken to recover the

Councillors at a statutory meeting of the IMC in the Anna Regina Town Hall outstanding amount.

Meanwhile taxpayers within the town have some $18M outstanding for 2013 and he claimed the municipality is suffering financially as no action is taken early to collect this year’s revenue and the arrears.

He said the poor collection of rates and taxes last year caused serious financial problems at the Council.

The Councillor suggested that demand notices be dispatched early to defaulters so rates and taxes can be collected promptly.

By Savitri Laikram

T

HE 21st Annual Scientific Symposium, which focused on ‘Innovations in primary care…

America & Guyana’, began here Friday and ended yesterday at the Guyana International Convention Center (GICC) at Liliendaal, Greater Georgetown.

The Howard University, of the United States of America, is the facilitating agency for this two-day symposium (January 17-18, 2014). Howard University has accredited this Continuing Medical Education (CME) and will issue a certificate of attendance accordingly.

The topics discussed at the conference by various members of the Howard University Hospital Medical Association included the following: * The Cardiovascular Continuum- Targeting Mechanisms of Hypertension, by Dr David A. Gooray, a Guyanese hailing from Essequibo. * Red Cell Distribution of Width (RDW), an Emerging Prognostic Marker, by Dr Ghulum Abbas. * Reconstructive Plastic Surgery, by Dr Robert H.

Dennis. * Heart Failure: Diagnosis and Management, by Dr David J. Clardy. * Historical Perspective: Public Health Management in the United States, by Dr Frederick J. Corder, M.D. At the end of the symposium, there was a panel discussion on the topics, which included all faculties.

Speaking to this publication, Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Dr Shamdeo Persaud said this is the first time this event has been hosted in Guyana. He noted that it has featured approximately 43 doctors from the association, and he said that for the two days, primary focus will be featured on a wide range of chronic diseases.

He added that doctors from both the private and public hospitals have been invited to participate in the conference, at the end of which a trip to an idyllic destination will be planned for the doctors.

He pointed out that focus was also placed on those doctors who practise without a valid licence, and he pointed out that a person practising medicine without a licence would be charged and fined.

The CMO also stated that

He asserted that the mission is medical education, and said the team would deliver hours of lectures to the hundreds of Guyanese medical practitioners.

He lauded the university for both the initiative and for hosting it in Guyana, and urged medical practitioners to make full use of the opportunity.

President of the Association, Dr Frederick J. Corder, pointed out that all of the attendees from Howard University are graduates and each is well trained in his/her respective field – surgeons, paediatricians etc.

He said that each annual trip being offered to doctors usually sees them going to different sites.

He noted that the last symposium was held in Ja-

maica, but the response he has gotten here in Guyana this year is very impressive.

Gooray. * Vascular Complications of Insulin Resistance and Diabetes, By Dr David A. Gooray. * Review of current Issues: Infant Mortality America by Dr Frederick J.

Requirements for safe production of water & ice highlighted at sensitization seminar

By Rebecca Ganesh-Ally

THE Government Analyst Food & Drug Department held a sensitisation seminar Thursday to educate manufacturers as well as consumers about the requirements and regulations for the safe production of water and ice.

The quality of drinking water is a powerful environmental determinant of health and participants at the seminar were told that assurance of drinking water safety is a foundation for the prevention and control of waterborne diseases and this can be achieved with the proper standards and regulations.

Ms Archer of the Consumer Affairs Department in the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce highlighted the fact that water is everyone’s interest and therefore the quality should be taken seriously.

She also informed that the Bureau will be available to assist manufacturers in any way they can.

Meanwhile, the Guyana National Bureau of Standards has been in discussion with the Food and Drug Department and a Memorandum of Understanding that was signed in January 2012 encompasses the GYS 12 Standard, Guyana Code of Practice and the Food and Drug Regulations where the operators would be monitored by the said parties for their compliance to the established standards.

Currently, the standards highlighted relate only to packaged water but according to Ms Bostwick, there is a proposal being developed for the filling stations.

The seminar also noted that preserving the quality of fresh water is important for drinking water supply, food production and recreational water use and quality can be compromised by the presence of infectious agents, toxic chemicals, and radiological hazards. With this in mind and the rising need to have proper standardization for the quality of water, the Food and Drug Department has set out a list of new requirements in order to obtain licensing.

Licensing One of the major requirements is the qualifications (including experience and training) of managers and supervisors and personnel employed.

The new deadline for registration has been extended to June 30, 2014 so as to support persons being trained to meet this new requirement. This and other requirements can be obtained from the Food and Drug Department office located in the last building in the University of Guyana compound.

Training Empretec will be partnering with the Food and Drug Department to facilitate A Water Operators Training Programme so as to enable the water producers to satisfy the requirement set out by the department. The eligibility for this programme is within everyone’s grasp with a minimum of four CXC subjects being required for entry, including mathematics, English language and at least one of the sciences.

The duration of the programme will be four days from 9am to 4pm and the first batch will be trained in April 2014.

The cost of the training will be $40,000 per person.

The quality of water, whether used for drinking, domestic purposes, food production or recreational purposes has an important impact on health. Initiatives to manage the safety of water production do not only support public health, but often promote economic development, seminar participants were told.

Ravindranauth Mohanlall Ravindranauth Mohanlall following his several outbursts during his murder trial at the Berbice Assizes.

Prior to the one-week adjournment, the prisoner in the dock was overheard saying: ”No Magistrate, no lawyer was not at sea at the time of the incident.”

“Dem nah know nothing.

Was me and them two alone,” he said, referring to the now deceased Beeram Motilall and Renard Fernandes.

“Only the cloud and the stars can say what happen,” he declared, prompting State Prosecutrix Renita Singh to jump to her feet and approach the judge, with Defence Counsel Charlyn Artiga hurrying behind her.

Moments earlier, before he was interrupted by the prisoner’s outburst, Detective Corporal Primus Sam recalled going to the Albion foreshore, where he saw and examined a wooden motor vessel which appeared to be burnt by fire.

Another witness, Brijlall Hardyall, owner of the damaged

According to him Motilall was employed by him as the captain and, if he was alive, he would have been responsible for the damages incurred.

On September 6, 2011, Motilall along with the accused left Albion foreshore at about 07:30hrs and they had in their possession a sponge mattress, ice, gasolene and foodstuff.

However, after receiving a telephone call, he returned to

the foreshore at 22:30hrs, where he saw Motilall and Fernandes with what appeared to be burns about their bodies.

The mattress was burnt halfway.

Motilall and Fernandes were talking when they arrived at the koker. The accused, also known as Fred, was present.

“I cannot say whether he was conscious as the cabin was dark. I did not ask the now deceased men in the presence of the accused, what happened. I cannot say for certain how the fire took place. The men would spend two to three days at sea depending on the catch.

UDFA not recognising ...

From Back Page of the situation.

“A lot of people don’t agree with what’s happening. The UDFA stands firm on its decision and we’re not moved by what the GFF is saying, we’re not losing sleep over it,” Hercules further pointed out.

Hercules said that the UDFA will be meeting with their affiliated clubs at the specially arranged meeting today, where they would outline to them in detail, the reason for their stands and how they would

move ahead with the sport in Linden.

“Presently, the UDFA’s position is that this present executive is NOT recognising the GFF’s penalty. As far as we’re concerned, we did nothing wrong to be suspended in the first place. We will let the clubs understand that as well.

The good thing is that almost everyone on the executive is either the head of their club or a part of the club’s executive which makes things easy for us.

So we’re meeting on Sunday to get our point across and to further plan our tournaments,” Hercules said.

The GT Beer Knock-out tournament which was sponsored entirely by Beverage Giants Banks DIH, was seen as the return of ‘year-end football’ to the place where it all started.

However, the tournament which fetched a $1M first prize was given its blessings by the GFF but the organisers were told to not host its finals on January 1, since it was noted that the Georgetown Football Association (GFA) had already booked that day though the two were played some 65 miles apart.

Dominant Nadal leads race into second week in Melbourne

By Nick Mulvenney

MELBOURNE, (Reuters) - Rafa Nadal beamed with delight after laying down an emphatic marker with a brilliant display of all-court tennis to charge into the last 16 of the Australian Open tennis yesterday.

The Melbourne heatwave may have broken but arch-competitor Nadal was still bathed in sweat after his two-hour 6-1 6-2 6-3 demolition of the talented but error-prone Gael Monfils.

Roger Federer earlier boasted of his fitness, Maria Sharapova felt a bit rusty and Andy Murray berated himself but all three eased into the second week.

Victoria Azarenka remained on course for her third straight title but may find the next hurdle trickier after setting up a fourth round tie against Sloane Stephens, who she beat amid controversy in last year’s semi-finals.

While there was relief all round at the cooler temperatures after four days of stifling heat, Milos Raonic and Caroline Wozniacki both felt the stinging burn of an upset.

Nadal never looked in any danger of an early departure, barring a brief injury scare when he jarred his foot early in the second set.

Such was his dominance after he suppressed the French-

man’s early charge, the Spaniard was at a loss to pick out an element of his game that pleased him most.

“I think I have to say that I played well from everywhere, no?,” he said.

“Tonight I think I played a great match ... (but) just one very good day. That makes me feel confident, but I am in the fourth round. That’s all.”

The top seed will play Kei Nishikori for a place in the quarter-finals after the Japanese ended American interest in the men’s draw with a 7-5 6-1 6-0 win over Donald Young.

Federer looked at his own imperious best as he dismantled Teymuraz Gabashvili 6-2 6-2 6-3 to reach the fourth round at a grand slam without giving up a set for the 27th time.

The Swiss is aware that tougher tests lie ahead, starting with Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the next round, but was delighted to have rid himself of his back problem.

“I’m just happy not waking up like an old man,” said the 32-year-old, who failed to get to a grand slam final for the first time since 2002 last year.

“It was a tough year last year and now for the last few weeks, I’m feeling much better... I’ve done the hard work and that’s perhaps why I’m playing well. “

* Murray, Federer, Azarenka, Sharapova progress

Murray’s back problems are more recent and he admitted to feeling a bit of stiffness as he finds his feet again following surgery and four months on the sidelines.

Spaniard Feliciano Lopez gave him a big test in the first set tiebreak but faded after conceding the second and the fourth seed claimed his 14th straight victory over a left-handed opponent 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 6-2.

“It’s been a good start,” said the Wimbledon champion.

“Today was a big step up for me. Feliciano is a top 30

Melbourne Renegades miss out on Big Bash semi-final MELBOURNE, Australia The Melbourne Renegades have missed out on a Big Bash semi-final berth after suffering a nail-biting loss to the Sydney Sixers at Etihad Stadium last night.

Needing a win to keep their finals hopes alive, the Renegades gave it their all but fell just short against the in-form Sixers.

It was a whole-hearted team effort with bat and ball, but the home side fell two runs short after the visitors posted 6-151.

With Aaron Finch on Australian duties, stand-in skipper Ben Rohrer won the toss and elected to bowl and it proved to be a sound decision as the Renegades attack started strongly.

The recalled Matthew Gale kept things tight in his first over, conceding only six runs, before the pressure paid off in the first ball of Aaron O’Brien’s first over, with Nic Maddinson stumped.

Gale continued the tight start by conceding only five from his second over, but the floodgades opened in O’Brien’s second, with Moises Henriques smashing 18 from it.

Dwayne Bravo’s first over as a Renegade was both eventful and unlucky. The West Indian had Michael Lumb (18 off 16) dropped behind the wicket, before the left-hander mis-hit two successive lofted drives just over the head of mid-off.

Lumb’s luck soon ran out when he top-edged a Nathan

Rimmington full toss straight to Rohrer.

Steve Smith and Henriques then started to accumulate runs with a mix of power and placement, but the Renegades weren’t giving anything away without a fight. Gale was a shining light with his best BBL spell (0-27 off four) as the home side tried to keep things under control.

The game tilted in the Renegades’ favour when O’Brien caught Smith (25 off 22) off his own bowling and Muralidaran claimed the huge wicket of Henriques for 55 off 39 balls.

Muralidaran (1-23 off four) was superb again, just about unhittable until his final delivery was bludgeoned into the stands by Marcus North (30 not out off 21).

Bravo also showed why the Renegades chased him so strongly for just two games, bowling a brilliant mix of slower balls and fast yorkers before finishing with the exact same figures of Muralidaran.

A final score of 6-151 seemed to be about par, but could the Renegades do enough with the bat to keep their finals hopes alive?

The run chase began steadily, with Dan Harris and Michael Hill wary against the Sixers’ attack. That all changed when Test off-spinner Nathan Lyon bowled the fourth over of the innings, with both openers smiting him into the stands as the run rate was sent skyrocketing.

Only a brilliant one-handed pick up and throw from Hen-

riques to run out Harris (20 off 17) halted the momentum but Hill and Alex Doolan took the Renegades closer to their target.

Hill’s departure for a wellmade 35 off 31 brought Bravo to the crease and it didn’t take him long to have the crowd on the edge – and falling over – their seats, which was the case for one spectator who attempted to catch a six off the powerful West Indian only to tumble onto the playing arena.

Three balls after slicing Henriques over the rope, Bravo did it again off Stephen O’Keefe, before a mix-up with Doolan (19 off 18) resulted in the Tasmanian being run out.

Everything was on the line for the Renegades as Rohrer joined Bravo, and the duo attempted to conjure a famous victory. Both batsmen were finding gaps easily, but boundaries difficult, and with three overs to go, the home side required 32 runs.

With two overs remaining, 25 were required. It was tense stuff.

The Renegades’ hopes took a hit when Bravo (38 off 30) was caught off the first ball of the penultimate over, which brought to the crease former Zimbabwean under-19 player Solomon Mire.

Unfortunately, Mire - the first Community Rookie to play a BBL game having previously featured in 13 firstclass matches in Zimbabwe before moving to Victoria four years ago – only lasted one ball before being run out after a mix-up with Rohrer.

player. He’s a tricky opponent to play. So it was a good test for me and I did well.”

Murray next meets Stephane Robert, who prevailed 6-0 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 over fellow lucky loser Martin Klizan - the first time a late replacement has reached the last 16 in Melbourne.

Azarenka humbled Yvonne Meusburger 6-1 6-0 in exactly an hour to set up

another meeting with American Stephens, who she beat last year after taking a medical timeout as she struggled to close out their semi-final.

“I have great memories of last year. That’s all I keep for me,” the Belarusian said of the incident which led to her being accused of gamesmanship. “We left it all last year here, and that’s what is important for me.

Sharapova continued to don her distinctive ice jacket at end changes despite the cooler weather as she beat France’s Alize Cornet 6-1 7-6 (7-6).

On the comeback trail after a shoulder problems cut short her 2013 season, the third seed accepted that she had won without playing her best tennis.

“I still feel like in certain situations I am a bit rusty and I’m not closing it out when I have to or maybe going for a little much or overthinking it a bit,” the 2008 Australian Open champion said.

“That will come. I’m not worried about that.”

Her boyfriend Grigor Dimi-

trov took a small step out of her shadow when he reached the fourth round of a grand slam for the first time by edging 11th seed Raonic 6-3 3-6 6-4 7-6 (12-10).

The Bulgarian prevailed after an 156-minute Margaret Court Arena thriller rounded off by the tensest of tiebreaks which he clinched on his fifth match point.

The 22-year-old has clearly tired of the nickname “Baby Fed”, bestowed upon him because of the similarity of his free-flowing style to that of Federer.

“What can I say?. We have debated that for quite some time and we have said it loud and clear that my name is Grigor.”

Wozniacki was left ruing her failure to convert more than five of her 16 break points in her 4-6 7-5 6-3 defeat at the hands of rising Spanish talent Garbine Muguruza.

“You know, sometimes it happens, you just don’t take your chances,” the 10th-seeded Dane lamented. “I won the first set, was up in the second.

Arsenal and Man City stay neck-and-neck at the top

By Mike Collett LONDON -(Reuters) - Arsenal stayed top of the Premier League with Manchester City breathing down their necks as the two front runners maintained their winning streaks with victories over strugglers Fulham and Cardiff City yesterday.

Two goals in five minutes midway through the second half

by Spain international midfielder Santi Cazorla set Arsenal up for a 2-0 win over Fulham, their fifth successive league victory leaving Fulham mired in relegation trouble.

Fulham have never won at Arsenal in 28 meetings dating back 110 years and rarely looked like ending that sorry record.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger told the BBC: “The pressure is there but it is a positive one.

“I believe it is important to keep focused on the way we want to play and our solidarity in the side which is exceptional and that will get us the points.

“Man City are a good team as well so that makes the race even more interesting.

There are five or six teams who will fight for the Championship. From our side we just need to be consistent.”

Second-placed City made it seven consecutive league wins as they beat Cardiff City 4-2 - also their 11th successive home win in the league - after Edin Dzeko’s opener took them to 100 goals in all competitions this season.

Big Three could control revamped ICC THE International Cricket Council (ICC) is to consider a comprehensive structural overhaul of world cricket administration that will effectively cede most executive decision-making to the BCCI, Cricket Australia and the ECB. A draft proposal on these lines will be presented to the ICC Executive Board during its quarterly meeting in Dubai on January 28 and 29.

The proposal, drafted by a “working group” of the ICC’s Finance & Commercial Affairs (F&CA) committee - in which the BCCI, CA and ECB are key members - recommends

wide-ranging changes in the ICC’s revenue distribution model, administrative structures and the Future Tours Programme (FTP), questions the relevance of Test rankings and suggests the reinstatement of the Champions Trophy over the World Test Championship.

And almost every recommendation of the “position paper” gives a larger share of control over world cricket to the Australian, English and Indian cricket boards - both in the boardroom and on the field. It also gives them a larger share of revenues, in a ratio that is linked to the ICC’s revenue growth.

The ICC says these radical proposals await response from and the approval of member boards. The document does, however, contain an April deadline for the formation of the ICC Business Co (IBC) - a newly formed business arm which will be set up to replace the existing IDI (ICC Development International) - in order to take over the task of issuing tenders for the ICC’s next media rights and sponsorship cycle.

The proposal recommends creating a four-member group called the Executive Committee (ExCo) between ICC committees and the Executive Board, which consists of the heads of national boards.

The ExCo, the proposal recommends, will include three permanent representatives from CA, ECB and BCCI, who will share an annual rotating chairmanship. A fourth member of the ExCo will be nominated by the ICC’s Executive Board and come from the seven other Full Member nations.

The ExCo, if created according to the draft, will become “the sole recommendation committee … on all constitutional, personnel, integrity, ethics, development and nominations matters When detailing Test match promotion and relegation, the document states that “relegation exceptions” will apply to India, England and Australia. This is “solely in order to protect ICC income due to the importance of those markets and teams to prospective ICC media rights buyers.”

This document was made available to the ICC member nations in Dubai on January 9, as part of a special meeting called in addition to the normal ICC Board meetings held every three months.

There is a possibility that the proposal could be even be brought to vote as early as the January meeting even though the ICC, which offered no formal statement, indicated that the document was a only working paper that awaited both response and approval from the Board There had been a buzz among member nations that these proposals were being worked on between BCCI, CA

and the ECB over the past six months but the first that other member nations saw of it was the document on January 9.

A representative of a Full Member board outside the BCCI-CA-ECB triad said the proposals were a radical return to the old “veto system” in which England and Australia controlled all decision-making. The newest, richest and, therefore, most influential entrant into this club of power is the BCCI. “They are attaching the right of a country to rule the cricket world to its economic strength”, this official said.

The proposal by the BCCI, CA and the ECB to exempt themselves from relegation was, he said, contradictory: “On one side, they say they are following meritocracy.

But then they base promotion and relegation on financial strength.”

At an administrative level, the recently-created post of ICC chairman, (meant to reduce the powers of the president and be given to the “the best man for the job”) will, according to the new proposal, become an annual rotation between “one of the nominees of the ECB, CA or the BCCI. “ Similarly, the BCCI-CAECB will nominate the annual chairman of the Finance & Commercial committee, thus nominating their own candidates in three key ICC positions: the head of the ExCo, the F&CA committee and the chairmanship of the ICC. The ICC chairman will not head other major committees of the ICC, its F&CA committee or the IBC, the commercial arm of the ICC. The proposal states that the IBC is to be “established immediately” in order to take charge of the next cycle of ICC media and sponsorship rights from 2015-2023. The immediacy being referred to is the ICC Board meeting of April 2014.

The bulk of the “position paper” comprises a section focusing on a ‘distribution model’ of ICC revenues. The ICC’s current funding model distributes surplus revenues equally among Full Members and, in smaller proportions, to its Associate and Affiliate

members. This, the proposal says, “does not recognise the contribution of individual members” and provides for a “distorted distribution model that undermines self-sufficiency.” The “value contribution” of India is listed as “over 80%” with the other Full Members’ contribution ranging between “0.1% to 5%.”

The proposal says: “If ICC funds were entirely allocated on the basis of where they came from, all Members bar two would suffer a seriously damaging reduction in their funding,” a position “not favoured by BCCI, the ECB or CA.” To redress the “distorted distribution model”, the new model recommends the creation of a “contribution cost” as recognition for every member’s role in “contributing to generating ICC’s revenues required to sustain the game.”

An estimate of the percentage break-up of “contribution costs” to the entire ICC revenue has been “worked on and negotiated by” the BCCI, the ECB and CA; this accords the three boards greater shares of the ICC’s revenues as they increase.

At the current rights-cycle revenue levels of $1.5 billion, for example, the BCCI’s share would be 4.2%; should the new rights cycle gross revenue cross $3.5 billion, the BCCI’s share will be 21% - a total of $766 million.

The BCCI-CA-ECB have also recommended the formation of a “standing team” of representatives from each of the Boards who have a mandate to look at “every element of each ICC event and event costs” and will regularly report to the F&CA committee.

The ICC’s finance and commercial affairs committee, whose working group has put together these proposals, comprises the following: Giles Clarke (chairman, ECB), Alan Isaac (ICC president), Dave Richardson (chief executive), N Srinivasan (BCCI), Neil Speight (Associate and Affiliate member/ Bermuda Cricket Board), Wally Edwards (CA), Dave Cameron (WICB), with Campbell Jamieson (GM, commercial) and Faisal Hasnain

Shehzad hits maiden Test ton but Pakistan’s hopes fade (REUTERS) - Opening batsman Ahmed Shehzad struck his maiden test hundred but Pakistan’s hopes of a series-equalling victory looked distant on the third day of the third and final Test yesterday.

Trailing 1-0 in the threematch series, Pakistan were 291 runs for six wickets at the close, still needing 137 runs to wipe off their first innings deficit.

Captain Misbah-ul-Haq (36) was unbeaten at the crease as wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed (five) fell on the final delivery of the day to give left-arm spinner Rangana Herath his third wicket of the innings.

Resuming on their overnight score of 19 for no loss, Shehzad (147) and his opening partner Khurram Manzoor (52) made a watchful start and went unscathed in the morning session.

The pair added 114 runs for the first wicket before Manzoor was caught down the leg side off paceman Shaminda Eranga.

Number three batsman Azhar Ali (eight) became debutant Dilruwan Perera’s first test wicket when he edged the off-spinner to slip.

The 22-year-old Shehzad, however, kept his calm at the other end and kept accumulating runs.

The right-handed batsman added 40 for the third wicket with Younus Khan (17) before his senior partner was smartly caught by wicketkeeper Prasanna Jayawardene off Herath.

Shehzad drove Perera elegantly for a couple of runs to reach his maiden hundred in his third test and celebrated the occasion in front of a sparse crowd with a leap.

Younis Khan also didn’t last long, but Ahmed Shehzad continued to eat away at Sri Lanka’s total, and reached his first Test century soon after tea.

Pakistan’s scoring rate improved with the arrival of Misbah at the crease and once Shehzad started playing more freely after completing his century.

But Shehzad was out while looking for quick runs as he dragged on Herath to his

stumps, attempting a reverse sweep shot off a wide delivery.

Sri Lanka, who won the second Test in Dubai after the first match in Abu Dhabi ended in a draw, dismissed Asad Shafiq (18) and Sarfraz cheaply before the close to take the upper hand.

JBBC names team for GBA ‘Goodwill Series’ -St. Lucia and T&T to confirm

By Calvin Roberts

SECRETARY of the Jamaica Boxing Board of Control (JBBC) Leroy Brown yesterday responded in the positive to president of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) Steve Ninvalle’s invitation to have a team of boxers visit Guyana for a Goodwill Series next month, by listing the names of the visiting team.

Carl Grant will execute the duties of Head Coach for the Jamaicans, with Godfrey Collins as the Coach, while the JBBC has named four boxers who will compete in the Goodwill Series

which punches off on February 14, 15 and 16, under their watch and these are Patrick Sahadeo

(Lightweight), Anthony Clarke (Light welterweight), Kestna Davis (Welterweight) and Michael Gardner (Middleweight).

Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, St. Lucia and Barbados were all sent invitation letters

by Ninvalle sometime last year and of the quartet, only Barbados has so far replied in the negative, since they have two ongoing competitions at that time, while St. Lucia and T&T are to make a decision, with St. Lucia looking to give their decision by Tuesday.

However, an elated Ninvalle

told Chronicle Sport yesterday, the positive word and listing of the contingent received from the JBBC was a boost for the GBA, since it has been sometime since a Jamaican contingent had traversed these shores to compete at the amateur level.

“Jamaica has not been here for sometime and the GBA eagerly anticipates their arrival for this Goodwill Series, which will get underway on 14th, 15th and 16th February, at a venue to be named shortly.

I must say how happy I am to have heard from the JBBC,

not only their acceptance of our invitation, but also the naming of their team which comprises four boxers, a head coach and coach for the Goodwill Series which the GBA will be using as a training ground for several purposes,” said Ninvalle.

According to Ninvalle, the GBA has named a squad of boxers who will go into training not only for the Goodwill Series, but also several other Championships on international soil, such as the Commonwealth Games and Cardova Cardin Championships in Cuba.

“Other than this upcoming Goodwill Series, the GBA has their eyes set on sending a team

to the South American Championships which will be held in Chile from 13th to 18th March of this year, so this Goodwill Series will serve as warm up for our boxers. In addition to that, it will also give our team of coaches and technical staff, the opportunity to assess our boxers,” said Ninvalle.

The hard working GBA head said the squad of boxers will undergo an encampment period in the not too distant future, as the GBA intends to leave no stones unturned in ensuring success not only at the Goodwill Series, but the other tournaments they envisage to compete in this year.

WICB Chief hints at GHB shortlists indoor new HPC sponsor Pan American Squad

PORT- of- Spain, Trinidad - West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) chief executive officer Michael Muirhead says the Sagicor West Indies High Performance Centre (HPC) in Barbados will likely have a new sponsor when the contract with Sagicor expires in August.

The WICB development programme, based at the University of the West Indies (UWI) campus in Barbados and which started under welshman Toby Radford in June 2010, is now looking for a new sponsor as the Barbados-based insurance company has signalled it will not be renewing its contract.

Asked what was the reason for Sagicor’s non-renewal of the contract, Muirhead said: “Well, as a company they thought they had great advances in it and it was an excellent thing, but Sagicor themselves were having, I won’t say financial difficulties, but (were) sort of stretched and their profits have not been what they wanted them to be, so they are looking at various ways to come back.

“We have not totally taken it off the table, we will approach them again, but we will be approaching others and we have some very good potential sposnsors for it.”

Muirhead was speaking at Thursday’s official launch of the NAGICO Super50 Tournament at the Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain. The Super50 will run from January 30 to February 15 in Trinidad and Tobago.

The inaugural class of the Sagicor HPC included players like Trinidad and Tobago and West Indies pacer Shannon Gabriel, Barbados and WI fast bowler Jason Holder, Barbados all-rounder Shamarh Brooks, Guyanese and WI left arm-spinner Veerasammy Permaul and Windward Islands leg-spinner Kerron Cot-

--$6M needed for team’s participation

Michael Muirhead toy, along with Brendan Bess, Kraigg Brathwaite and Shane Dowrich.

Asked if he thought the HPC was carrying out the mission it was established to perform, Muirhead was confident the Centre had and would continue to.

“We have produced. It certainly has done much of what it was supposed to do and what it needs to do, which is produce (WI) cricketers who are better than the rest, “ the Jamaican said.

“It needs a constant state of refreshing itself and I think we need to bring more expertise within the centre itself.”

Muirhead said the WICB is looking at the professional side of the talent of the technical and management staff to maximise the potential of the HPC “because if we are going to use what we could be doing off season, much of our team management should be at the High Performance Centre really helping to develop the cricketers.

“We need to really structure

that in a way that we always will have them (the technical and management staff) there because it is not only new cricketers, it is established cricketers who need refreshing and need to really go back into the nets really and that is what we are going to be focusing on.”

Muirhead said WICB director of cricket, Englishman Richard Pybus, will have his hands full but is well equipped to get systems up and running at the HPC as the WICB seeks to upgrade the quality and delivery of worldclass cricketers.

“Richard (Pybus) started the first high performance centre in Australia so he does have that experience there and that (upgrading the HPC) is part of his mandate and he has a lot on his plate,” Muirhead said He added that at round the end of the first quarter of this year, the WICB would like to bring to the public their competitive plans for the West Indies team.(Trinidad Express)

THE Guyana Hockey Board (GHB) has reduced its squad of 38 players to 24 after holding physical preparations and individual skills tests over a five-week period.

According to the GHB president Philip Fernandes, the national men’s hockey squad was reduced from 38 to 24 players over the past weekend after having spent five weeks of training with a focus on physical preparation and individual skills.

The players were then put through a series of strength, endurance and skills tests before the squad was broken down. According to the coaching staff, the focus of the next five weeks will be on small unit play and learning new

systems.

The squad will then be divided into teams to engage in a warm-up tournament before being broken down to 15.

The final team of 12 players will be chosen in the weeks leading up to the Pan American Indoor Cup scheduled for Montevideo, Uruguay from April 7 to 13.

The team’s management has embarked on an ambitious fund raising plan to accomplish the formidable task of raising the $6M dollars budgeted for the team’s participation in the tournament.

It will be remembered that in 2005 Guyana narrowly lost to the USA in the 3rd place playoff and placed 5th at the 2010 edition of the Indoor Pan

American Cup. This year’s tournament is a senior continental World Cup qualifier with the winning team earning an opportunity to compete at the highest level in the 2015 FIH World Cup. The 24 players shortlisted are: Orland Semple, Kevin Spencer, Raphael DeGroot, Andrew Xavier, Eric Hing, Mark Sargeant, Medroy Scotland, Robert France, Devin Munroe, Randy Hope, Colonel Heywood, JamarjAssanah, Aroydy Branford, Rayon Branford, Andrew Stewart, Michael Harding, Shane Samuels, Laured Stewart, Jason Hoyte, Joel Hunte, Aderemi Simon, Jason DeSantos, Anthony Cole and Timothy Baker.

Lloyd becomes 8th member on ACF Board NEW York, United States - The American Cricket Federation (ACF) announced yesterday that Clive Lloyd, the legendary West Indies captain had joined its Honorary Advisory Board.

This latest announcement comes just two days after the ACF announced that Michael Holding, Ian Chappell, Alvin Kallicharran, Damien Martyn, Nathan Bracken, Stuart MacGill and Niall O’Brien had joined the advisory board.

“As someone who has always taken a keen interest in the success of cricket in the United States, it gives me great pleasure to see the positive developments coming from the American Cricket Federation.

The ACF’s leadership and

Clive Lloyd its member leagues point the way to a brighter future, and I am happy to give them my full support, and to join its Honorary Advisory Board,” Lloyd is quoted as saying in the ACF release.

Under Lloyd’s leadership, the West Indies appeared in three consecutive World Cup finals, winning twice. The ACF anticipates that Lloyd will bring this same winning attitude to the ACF Honorary Advisory Board, the release noted.

“The ACF couldn’t be more excited to have someone of Clive Lloyd’s stature on the Honorary Advisory Board,” said CEO Jamie Harrison. “Clive is not only a match-winning international cricketer, but is also someone who regularly spends time in the United States and follows events here closely. His insights will be significant as we grow the game in the States.”

Trouble was brewing inside GFF prior to UDFA issue

By Calvin Roberts

“I AM not aware of a one third decision being made among the executives of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) agreeing to the hosting of an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to discuss the fate of the Upper Demerara Football Association (UDFA).”

Those were the words of embattled GFF vice-president and former national player Collie ‘Hitman’ Hercules, who was to his mind, slapped with an unconstitutional five- year ban by the GFF last Friday, after being involved with the UDFA that organised their Banks DIH GT Beer Cup final on New Year’s Day last.

“At the last Executive meeting of the GFF, we decided to hold annual Congress on April 26 but no agenda was decided on, so no way was the whole situation with the GFF and hosting of year end tournaments by its sub-associations was decided on,” said Hercules.

“The question I am asking everyone is ‘Who called the Extraordinary General Meeting?’ I am asking that because nobody knows who did and based on my knowledge, no decision was changed after the April date was set, as it relates to that meeting at the last Executive meeting.

“So when I got the communication to that effect, which I am saying is unconstitutional, I made enquiries and no one is aware of the one third decision being made among the executives to have the EGM called, not even the General Secretary,” said Hercules.

He said the way the GFF is being administered by its present president Christopher Matthias, would certainly place a huge grin on the face of former president Colin Klass, since the former has a dictatorial way in doing things.

“Decisions are being made without the impact of the entire executives of the GFF, including that EGM, which decided that I

should be banned for five years and some other members of the UDFA punished as well.

Ask Mr. Matthias in his capacity as president of the GFF, who called the EGM and who set the agenda for that meeting,” questioned Hercules.

While he did not deny the importance of the issue as it relates to the subject matter at hand, meaning the UDFA playing off their Banks DIH GT Beer Cup final on New Year’s Day last was to be discussed, Hercules said the so-called penalized association would be fighting to the end to gain justification.

“We will be exhausting all avenues, even those that can be used legally, to gain justification not only for the UDFA and the people of Linden, but football in Guyana, as we are here to represent the clubs of Linden and to an extent the people who support those clubs, be they from Linden, Berbice or even Essequibo,” posited Hercules.

ADAMS The 38 year old Hercules said former vice-president of the GFF Rawlston Adams, who was elected to serve in that capacity for the next four years at last year’s Annual General Meeting, which saw Matthias surviving three stiff rounds of voting to ascend into the presidency position, has resigned from the GFF prior to the hosting of the unconstituted EGM. “The GFF is definitely in turmoil and many persons are unaware of this. Some may say that because I was handed this ban, that I am hanging the Federation’s dirty linen in public, but to be truthful, many things that come out of the GFF is not okayed by the executives of that body.

“Two members are presently out of the executive body in Adams, who resigned when told of the EGM being set for last Friday, after reminding those involved that it was not in keeping with the constitu-

Rawlston Adams

-Adams resigned

tion of the GFF, and I, while an Association-UDFA-is under suspension, so what that tells you,” asked Hercules?

He is of the view, that the present GFF head is acting under the guidance of the Georgetown Football Association (GFA), since he makes decisions and pronounce on them

off his own, then bring it to the Executive Council.

“I know of one instance among many, wherein he went to the General Council of the GFF on a position as it relates to the GFA, without the input of his Executives.”

Quizzed on his opinion on the way Matthias has been

handling the day to day affairs of the GFF, Hercules said, “As I have said before, it is clearly a dictatorship attitude he is portraying and that is not what the electorate placed him there for.

I cannot say if it was worst when Mr. Klass was heading the GFF, since during Klass’ tenure I was a player and could not comment on the day to day affairs of the GFF from an administrative point of view. But being elected vice-president

under Matthias, I have seen clearly his dictatorial attitude and it is not good for the sport.”

Hercules said many of the other executives are aware of this type of behaviour from Matthias but for reasons unknown, don’t wish to speak out, but he will, “no matter what”, because no one is bigger than any sport, even calling on Matthias to step aside based on a matter of ‘No Confidence’.

UDFA not recognising penalties handed down by GFF suspended executives to continue planning football for calendar year in Linden

By Rawle Toney

Christopher Matthias

VICE- President of the Upper Demerara Football Association (UDFA) Collie ‘Hit-man’ Hercules said that the suspended executives of the entity that governs the game of football in Linden will not recognise the various penalties handed down by its parent body, the Guyana Football Federation (GFF).

For not adhering to the decision of the GFF’s General Congress which is the sport’s local governing body highest forum for decision making, that prohibited them from holding their GT Beer Knock-Out tournament finals on January 1, in Linden, the entire executive of the UDFA with the exception of Sharma Solomon, were given a five year suspension from all football related activities.

Solomon, the Regional Chairman of Region#10 also holds the seat of UDFA President and he was given an eight year suspension.

However, in an interview, Hercules, who is also a vice-president of the GFF, said that the UDFA “Would not be recognising the suspension.

It was unconstitutional, therefore, we would’ve met today and we would be going about with what we had planned for football for the year 2014” Asked what deemed the General Extra Ordinary Congress unconstitutional, Hercules explained “according to the constitution of the GFF, we at the Executive committee level should have met collectively to decide on when the Extraordinary Congress should have been convened but that did not happen.

It was handed down to the General Secretary (Noel Adonis) to inform the affiliates of the meeting; this was done by (Christopher) Matthias” Meanwhile, Chronicle Sport contacted the GFF President to solidify Hercules claims, only to be met by Matthias in turn asking, “If the meeting was unconstitutional why did they turn up? If the meeting was seen as unconstitutional, why did they sign the attendance sheet showing that they were a part of the meeting? They acted

Collie ‘Hit-man’ Hercules in total disregard of the General Congress decision and as such, they were penalized.”

“What we want is for them to be truthful about everything and not lead people astray,” Matthias said while promising to host a press conference to give in detail the GFF’s findings on a number of issues.

“What is he saying” Hercules questioned when it was related to him what Mathias had asked, as the former National Striker pointed out “We had to be present so that we can then inform the other members that the meeting called was done not in accordance to the GFF Constitution.

“We had to sign the attendance record so that we have a chance to speak. But did Matthias tell you that we asked to be excused along with Ivan Persaud and Sharma (Solomon)? Yes, we asked to be excused from the meeting after telling everyone that it was not legal.”

Persaud, a native of the mining town who is also the GFF’s Vice President left the meeting according to See Page 26 Hercules with him upset over the handling
