SCENES FROM YESTERDAY’S SHOCKING GUN BATTLE IN THE CITY Photos by Cullen Bess-Nelson, Adrian Narine and Leroy Smith

This photo shows one of the cameras that the businessman used to monitor the movements of the police around the building even as the bullet-riddled glass door and walls of the building are clearly visible. Omit the word ‘Street’ from these signboards and the area could very well be referred to as the ‘Middle East’ where all the drama and gunfire went on for more than three hours yesterday afternoon.

After literally giving the police ‘Hell’ for more than three hours in a gun battle, the lifeless remains of businessman Deryck Kanhai is being taken into the Accident & Emergency Unit of the GPHC by colleagues of two of the policemen he killed in the process. See more photos on pages 18 & 19

Miner goes berserk, turns city into temporary war zone…

Businessman kills two policemen, two civilians before he’s shot dead

- shocking shootout leaves nation shaken, as condolences flow By Leroy Smith TWO policemen, a taxi dispatcher, a taxi driver and a businessman are now dead following a shootout at Middle and East Streets in the city which lasted for more than three hours yesterday. Dead are Police Lance Corporal 20293 Michael Ford, Police Constable 18053 Pantlitz, Crown Taxi Dispatcher Vanessa Williams, an unidentified taxi driver and businessman Deryck Kanhai, the shooter. What triggered the tragic encounter is still unclear, but from all indications it seems that the man had “tripped out” and “gone berserk”. This newspaper was informed that the man who was identified as a gold miner and who owned two licensed firearms made the taxi dispatcher his first target. His next target was a taxi driver who, up to press time last night, was still unidentified. The police were called in and the businessman retreated to his home where he secured himself and invited the police to a shootout which saw a fusillade of bullets being fired in the highly populated area. As the first police patrol arrived on the scene yesterday, they came under fire from the businessman as they attempted to gain entry to his home on the

upper flats of the three-storeyed, heavily grilled building. The police subsequently summoned reinforcements and soon a constant inflow of heavily armed forces arrived on the scene. Then members of the Fire Service came and remained on standby. As the bullets flew from the house where the businessman was holed up and the police, those who run businesses in the areas locked their doors and windows and those living in nearby homes did the same. As word of the shooting got around the city like “wild fire”, persons travelled to the area just to see what was happening while others rushed to the nearby Balwant Singh Hospital where relatives were seeking medical attention. Two Indian nationals employed at the hospital were also rescued from a building located near the one the shooter was firing from. Soon the crowd that gathered to watch the drama unfold grew so large that the police were pressed to hold them back as they pressed against cordons flung up by the lawmen. As the cross-fire became more intense, several well known police officers arrived on the scene, as the crowd applauded, perhaps hoping that the senior officers would soon bring

the situation under control. Among those who arrived were Assistant Commissioner of Police George Vyphius, retired senior officer and former head of the highly-feared but now disbanded Target Special Squad (Black Clothes) Steve Merai; an embattled police officer who is popularly known as ‘Gangster’; Senior Superintendant Watts and a young, seemingly fearless CANU rank named Loknauth, who later broke down in tears at the death of his colleague law enforcement ranks. One of the challenges for the police yesterday in closing in on the building was the presence of security (CCTV) cameras placed around the building and which the shooter was using to monitor the movements of the police from inside the secured building. The police only became aware of the man’s tactic after realising that every movement

they made in attempting to gain entry to the building was thwarted by the businessman, who opened fire in those directions. It was then that the police, two hours into the shootout, decided to take out the strategically placed security cameras by shooting at them. It was not very long after that move that the police were able to close in on the building even as the man continued to fire at them. While at the scene, this newspaper caught up with brother of the businessman, Aubrey Kanhai, who said he had no idea what caused his brother to “flip”. The man said that he was out when he heard that there was an incident at the home of his mother, which he shared with his brother. He said that when he arrived on the scene, the police were already on the location and the shootout was on. He said that his brother,

who was 52, was the licensed firearm holder of a shotgun and a pistol. Last evening this newspaper was beginning to receive information that the man might have had connections to the El Dorado Mining Company which was robbed over the weekend. However, what this newspaper was able to confirm is that the man’s family are all business people, and among them they operate a business in the city, one in Cuyuni and another in Bartica, all mining related.

Meanwhile, following the high afternoon drama, the Guyana Police Force issued a press release last evening offering their condolences to the family of the deceased policemen and civilians who were gunned down by the businessman. The police said that the man was indeed a licensed firearm holder. They added that following the killing of the man, they entered the home and were able to recover a shotgun, a .32 pistol and a .22 pistol.

Philippines typhoon: President lowers death toll estimate

China’s meagre aid to the Philippines could dent its image

BEIJING (Reuters) - China may have wasted the chance to build goodwill in Southeast Asia with its relatively paltry donation to the Philippines in the wake of a devastating typhoon, especially with the United States sending an aircraft carrier and Japan ramping up aid. The world’s second-largest economy is a growing investor in Southeast Asia, where it is vying with the United States and Japan for influence. But China’s assertiveness in pressing its claim to the disputed South China Sea has strained ties with several regional countries, most notably the Philippines. China’s government has promised $100,000 in aid to Manila, along with another $100,000 through the Chinese Red Cross - far less than pledged by other economic heavyweights. Japan has offered $10 million in aid and is sending in an emergency relief team, for instance, while Australia has donated $9.6 million. “The Chinese leadership has missed an opportunity to show its magnanimity,” said Joseph Cheng, a political science professor at the City University of Hong Kong who focuses on China’s ties with Southeast Asia. “While still offering aid to the typhoon victims, it certainly reflects the unsatisfactory state of relations (with Manila).” China’s ties with the Philippines are already fragile as a decades-old territorial squabble over the South China Sea enters a more contentious chapter, with claimant nations spreading deeper into disputed waters in search of energy supplies, while building up their navies. Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan also claim parts of the South China Sea, making it one of the region’s biggest flashpoints. The Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), a 10-nation grouping that includes the Philippines, has been talking to China about a binding code of conduct in South China Sea to ease the friction, but Beijing’s frugal aid hints at a deeply entrenched rivalry that could make forging consensus difficult.

(Trinidad Guardian) FORMER Boston,Los Angeles and New York City police chief William Bill Bratton Tuesday said the problem of the corruption in the police force is difficult to solve but noted that the process of solving it must begin with the hiring process. He made the comment after arriving in T&T yesterday to conduct a seminar, titled “A country to defend”, at the Hyatt Regency, Port-of-Spain,yesterday . Asked about what he would do to address the issue of corruption in the T&T Police Service (TTPS), Bratton said: “The issue of corruption, unfortunately, is not unique to your country. The good news in that environment is where there is a will, there is a way.” Bratton said there were several strategies and techniques employed the world over to address such problems

JLP looks to mend cracks after election

Gary Spaulding, Senior Gleaner Writer (The Gleaner) A slew of resignations has reached the desk of the re-elected leader of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), Andrew Holness, but that is being viewed as giving Holness space, instead the focus seems to be on mending fences. But it was not just members of the Audley Shaw team who were resigning. Last night, General Secretary Horace Chang confirmed that the entire shadow Cabinet had resigned. Immediately after the results of the JLP’s leadership race were released on Sunday

at the National Arena, Audley Shaw signalled that he would be stepping aside to give Andrew Holness space to make his move after securing his mandate. His was one of the first of the resignations to reach the desk of Holness yesterday. Other prominent members The other prominent members of his team that formed Holness’ Shadow Cabinet followed his lead. Terse but politely worded letters were forthcoming from Gregory Mair; Edmund Bartlett; Marisa Dalrymple-Philibert; Dr Christopher Tufton, Delroy Chuck and Daryl Vaz, who was on leave of absence.

but that the process for ridding the service of corrupt officers should begin with the hiring process. Speaking on his experiences at a press conference at Piarco airport yesterday, Bratton said: “There are techniques and strategies that can be employed here. The process begins in the hiring. They are bringing in the wrong type of people into the profession...that can help cause the problem.” He said the good news was that there were systems to help deal with the problem but that it was a very difficult one with which to deal. Saying he did extensive work on the issue in Central America, he noted that many corrupt officers were often poorly trained, poorly paid and poorly selected. He said his purpose at the conference was to share his experiences from other countries but said he also would learn about T&T’s policing system.

“The idea is we don’t profess to have all the answers to this issue nor do we have all the ideas. The benefits we have had over the number of years in other countries is that when we take ideas with us, we also come back with new ideas,” he said. After being appointed NYC police commissioner in 1994, Bratton was credited with the reduction of crime in the city as well as turning around the LA Police Department where, according to an October 17 New York Times article, “he showed he could repair relations between minority communities and a police force once synonymous with brutality and corruption.”

A case of ‘cheque book justice’

EDITORIAL

There are those who make the supreme sacrifice and then there are rogue cops THE issue of rogue cops within law enforcement agencies around the world is becoming one of increasing, troubling concern and is a significant humbug in the fight against crime. But there is the other side of the coin. In our capital city yesterday, two policemen were shot dead and a few injured in a shootout with a gunman who was later killed. Policemen are often called upon to lay their lives on the line, and there are times when they make the supreme sacrifice, all in the line of their duties. It must indeed be stressful for family members of policemen to live from one day to the next not knowing when they will receive a call saying that their father or husband or brother has been killed. Today, we offer our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the dead policemen. However, the problem of rogue cops besmirching the image of the forces they serve is a growing one, both at home and abroad. One would recall one of the most famous cases involving rogue cops in the U.S. was the matter of the honest and professional Detective Frank Serpico, who was set up by his colleagues who were in league with the criminal world. And they even attempted to murder him because he unswervingly stood to his oath. He eventually had to migrate to Switzerland for fear of losing his life. A movie was made on the Serpico story starring Hollywood superstar Al Pacino and should be interesting viewing as it is still relevant to the existing criminal intrigues within law enforcement agencies. Former Jamaican Police Commissioner Hardley Lewin was reported in the media as calling for the retirement of more rogue cops from the force in the interest of the public. In the past two years, the high command has been on a drive to wipe out corruption from the force and the commissioner wants to ramp up that process. In an article on August 13, 2013 titled: “Rid Minneapolis of rogue cops” it was reported that: “This week, the public learned that three Minneapolis police officers were cited for assault in Apple Valley last year, following a racial incident outside a bar. Last week, two city cops were suspended following a bar fight in Green Bay. “While arguing with Green Bay police, the pair repeatedly used racial slurs, were disrespectful to the local officers and insulted their own chief with an anti-gay slur — and their rants were all captured on videotape. “Earlier this year, another officer was fired after being sentenced to 43 months in prison for punching and severely injuring a bar patron while off duty. “What’s going on with Minneapolis police? The three

I RECENTLY read about the judgement in a court matter whereby the magistrate freed the drunk driver in a vehicular homicide case only because he was able to open up his cheque book and produce a $3M compensation package for the widow of the deceased. Now, I had to read this judgement over and over again because I could not believe this was happening in the 21st century in Guyana, but the very thing I feared did happen, yes, right before our very eyes. A clear issue of what I would call “Cheque book justice.” It all boils down to the fact that because this dude is at the level where he can fork out some cash and bamboozle a magistrate, he was freed of all charges. This is outrageous and disgraceful. Then, if I may ask what would become of a drunk driver who has no cheque book? Would he be forced to do jail time? Would that magistrate have the audacity to say to that gentleman that he will be tossed into a cell for some years because he cannot (for lack of a better word) “bribe” the court? Aren’t these pointed questions that the magistrate should answer? These are the issues that cause one’s blood to boil when you look at the way justice is dispensed in our country. This lopsided, cock-eyed nonsense that suits the whims and fancies of the rich while trampling on the already downtrodden poor is despicable. I have written extensively that the reason for drunk driving homicide cases being on the rise is all due to the fact that rich people control our courts. Certainly there is no redress there. People do heinous things like killing someone while in a drunken state and you look to the court for justice only to be insulted in this demeaning way. In essence, the magistrate is telling the rich drunkards out there you can drink your head full of rum then get behind the wheel of a vehicle, crush someone to death, then crawl into court almost immediately and write a cheque. The next day you are freed of all

UG Admissions Division staff unable to process student’s ID FOR five Saturdays now, the Admissions Division staff at the University of Guyana (UG) Turkeyen Campus has been unable to process my student ID. The excuse is always that the “machine” is not out or available. I don’t know what that means. I was later able to ascertain that the machine used to print the student ID is only brought out to the Admissions Division during the week. This should not be, since there are students whose only day of classes on the campus is Saturday. Other students turn up with their Confirmation Letters only to be told the same lame excuse. I am bringing this to the attention of Ms. Daniella King for urgent action. LEON SUSERAN incidents reflect a bullying, racially biased subculture that has existed within the Minneapolis Police Department for decades. Mayors and police chiefs have changed over the years, yet the problem still exists.” Here in Guyana it has been reported that in the arrest and questioning of five persons in relation to the well orchestrated gold and cash heist in the North West District on Friday, three officers of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) are among the lot, including a sergeant. Crime Chief Seelall Persaud, on Monday, confirmed that a police sergeant who recently began duties at the location and two constables were arrested and are being question in relation to their roles in the facilitation of the robbery. This is not the first time that members of the GPF have been connected with criminal activities and no doubt this prompted former Police Commissioner the late Laurie Lewis to remark that the GPF has been infiltrated by criminal elements. This infiltration of law enforcement agencies is dangerous and alarming and constitutes what our old Guyanese adage warns about: “You cannot put cat to watchman milk.” In view of this latest incident of involvement of police officers in criminal activities, an utmost priority of the leadership of the GFP has to be the weeding out of rogue cops or else the fight against crime, which has reached unacceptable proportions, will be severely compromised. And this process has to begin with keener scrutiny of those being recruited into the GPF. In addition, some mechanism has to be established to monitor the activities of GPF ranks in their conduct and execution of their duties.

charges. It’s just that simple. Now I know what the magistrate is insinuating, that is, the fact that the poor widow accepted compensation is reason for him to let the accused go free. Hogwash! In the first place, the widow is in no position to speak on behalf of the injured party being her husband. He is the one who suffered; he is the one who met a horrible death; and he is the one who should make that decision. Seeing that he is dead and cannot represent himself, then we who are alive seek justice on his behalf. If ever that magistrate had dealt fairly in this matter he should have had him spend a substantial time in jail as well as have his widow compensated; punishment on both counts applies. In his case having the immediate capacity to pay would have seen him getting a reduced sentence for the payment aspect. That is the only mitigating factor he had going for him. Other than the compensation aspect of the case, that drunk driver should have spent time in a common jail like everybody else found guilty of driving drunk. I will forever hammer home the point that when you kill someone while inebriated it constitutes an intentional and criminal act because here you are drunk, while commandeering a potentially dangerous instrument - a vehicle, something that has the potential to kill. This was expressly so in Mr Sawh’s death, the impact violently flung him to his death having been hit from behind by a speeding drunk who could not control the vehicle. There is no way Shaun Lall should have evaded jail time. The excuse that he has lost his job in Canada is no punishment at all; in my book he should be languishing in a cell in Guyana right now. Persons who commit vehicular homicides like the one described above should feel the full weight of the law. NEIL ADAMS

Let us not exacerbate our development pains but, rather, help to make them easier!

I WRITE about no small matter. (The headline in the Stabroek News – 2013-11-11), “No time-frame for 24-hour power supply to Mabaruma – Hinds”, has been read by everyone as a quote from me, which it is not; and I fear that it propagates an altogether different message from what I did actually write. And, indeed, I would even argue that it is inaccurate. And worse, Mr. Editor, I fear that, in your (SN) headline, the message that you represent wrongly as a quote from me is, “You all suppose to get 24-hour electricity, but Hinds say he got no plan to give you all 24-hour electricity.” A truer headline would have been, “Twenty four-hour power supply to Mabaruma after discussions with residents – Hinds.” I do have a time-frame in mind, and I have stated it, “after discussions with residents about sustainability.” We have been working towards increased and improved electricity supply long before the questions were asked: the supply in Mabaruma has been increased from four hours to six hours, each day; the supply is being extended as funding becomes available for increased generation, and for an upgraded and extended network. A 24x7 supply of electricity does not come – indeed, there is nothing that comes - with the wave of a magic wand. It would be good if we could consistently send the message, and assure our fellow citizens, that we Guyanese would have in time all that we would want – but we have to work for it with our hands and heads and hearts, individually and altogether. There are no goods, no services, no rights, no entitlements, other than that which we work to produce and share with each other. Production comes first, and there is a lot to learn by everyone. We would learn a lot along the way as we do things. The pace of growth and development would be related to our rate of learning many things, in everything that matters. In this regard, we are establishing, one after another, small mini-utilities in various hinterland population centres. We are looking to use poles provided by local people, using local woods. It has not been easy and it has not been done before, and we are encountering all the learning issues in doing new things. We are appointing the chair-person, and the majority of the board members, from amongst local persons, along with three more experienced persons, one each from the HEU, the GPL, and the parent company, NICIL. Let us not exacerbate our development pains but, rather, help to make them easier! HON. SAMUEL A. A. HINDS Prime Minister

I endorse the calls for a public apology from Mr. Harmon

I AM not stunned of the recent slew of misinformed statements and comments made by A Partnership for National Unity’s Joseph Harmon regarding several states of affairs, including the recent disrespect to miners, loggers and the private sector. I believe it is by design that these wild statements were made by Mr. Harmon to draw attention to himself to gain popularity amongst APNU/PNC supporters and outshine other members of the party. In his efforts to crave popularity for himself, Mr. Harmon is exposing APNU/PNC for spreading misinformation and attacking the Private Sector, the Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment and hardworking middle class miners and loggers. As such, I am amongst numerous civil minded Guyanese who welcomed the objections to his comments on the mining sector by Mark Fraser in a recent letter who, on behalf of all miners, called for a public apology from Mr. Harmon and APNU/PNC. How worst can a politician get when you stoop to attack hardworking middle class citizens just for the benefit of gaining popularity and false political recognition. But little did Mr. Harmon know the general population has recognised his motives and has noted the silence of APNU in reprimanding his actions. I therefore endorse the calls for a public apology from Mr. Harmon and by extension APNU to the Private Sector, the Government, Miners and loggers for his intentional acts of spreading misinformation and alleging the destruction of Guyana’s forest by loggers and miners. Mr. Editor, the conduct of Mr. Harmon as a practicing lawyer and Member of Parliament is unbecoming, but it is the undeniable PNC traits in Mr. Harmon that cajoles him to make reckless statements to lash out at the Private Sector - the growth engine of the economy and miners who contribute to the largest growing sector in Guyana.

Leonora Secondary students offer memorable performances at National Drama Festival

The players from Leonora Secondary School By Jimmy Roos The National Drama Festival that opened on Monday with much fanfare continued yesterday without missing a beat, showcasing memorable performances that thrilled the audience of mainly students. The play yesterday was titled “Save the Children” and is the brainchild of two playwrights, Sonia Telman and Nalini Barker, both teachers at Leonora Secondary School in Region 3. Ms. Telman who is also the director of the play explained that the play was inspired by events that they observe around them, such as broken families and young children being forced to join the labour market prematurely to help provide financially for their families. In this particular case, problems between the mother and father led to the father abandoning his wife and children who had to cope on their own with all the bills. However, taking the ‘bull by the horn’ the mother

Gov’t extends condolences to families of those killed in

yesterday’s shooting in Georgetown

HE Government of Guyana is expressing condolences to the bereaved relatives of those who were killed yesterday during a shocking shooting incident in Middle Street, Georgetown involving law enforcement ranks and a lone gunman. Following the shootout which lasted close to three hours, five persons were left dead - two policemen, two civilians and the gunman who reportedly ‘tripped out’ and went berserk. “I extend my sympathy to the relatives, friends and colleagues of the police officers who died in the line of duty, and to the civilians. It is an incident that is greatly regretted in our country,” said Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, who is currently performing the duties of President of Guyana in the absence of Mr Donald Ramotar who is overseas. According to the Guyana Police Force, the tragedy began unfolding just after 13:30 hrs with the alleged shooter, who was identified as a miner and licenced firearm holder, Derrick Kanhai apparently going berserk, shooting at least two persons including a female dispatcher, Vanessa Williams who was on duty at the Crown Cabs Taxi Service which shared the bottom flat of a building just east of the Medicine Chest Pharmacy. As shots rang out, passersby took cover and police ranks raced to the scene. Kanhai then retreated into his home above the taxi service. An initial attempt at storming the building was met by a barrage of gunfire. Two wounded ranks, Lance Corporal Sherwin Pantlitz and Lance Corporal Forde were rushed to the nearby Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation where they later succumbed, a police press release stated. “The businessman barricaded himself in the property. Police subsequently stormed the building and came under fire. The ranks returned fire and he was fatally shot bringing to an end an almost three-hour standoff. A shotgun, a .32 pistol and a .22

Prime Minister Samuel Hinds pistol were recovered by the police,” the release said. The Guyana Police Force is also expressing sincere condolences to the relatives of the two police ranks and two civilians who lost their lives in the tragic encounter.

Following is the full text of the message to the nation last night by Prime Minister Samuel Hinds: “My fellow Guyanese, I greet you at an especially sad day in

our nation’s recent history. As many of you may have heard by now, 4 persons have been killed by one of our fellow citizens who began shooting at persons in the vicinity and at policemen who confronted him. He was eventually shot fatally by policemen. Several persons are currently being treated at the Georgetown Public Hospital. Even as the details of this tragedy are still unfolding, on behalf of the Government of Guyana, I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to the families, friends, neighbours and communities who mourn tonight. I mourn; your Government mourns with you. We have seen, just this week, too many acts of violence, many within families. The quick resort to violence is something to be concerned about and not to be taken lightly or ignored by Government or by us as citizens of this nation. Together we must strive to lower the level of frustration and anger within our society. We must remember what it means to be neighbourly, to be our brother’s keeper lending an ear and a shoulder to those in need, comforting and consoling each other. We have a duty to ourselves and to our nation to prevent violence in all its forms. Today we have suffered much. Our Guyana Police Force deserves our commendations for their valiant efforts to contain the shooting, and our condolences for the lives they lost. Our nation will always be indebted to the servicemen’s families for giving us their sons. I call on all of you, my fellow Guyanese, to keep the families and friends of those who mourn tonight in your thoughts and prayers. Good night.”

Modern soil lab to be set up soon - Agriculture Minister By Clifford Stanley PLANS for the establishment of a soil laboratory with internationally accepted standards and state-of-the-art equipment are being finalized for completion within twelve months, Minister of Agriculture Dr. Leslie Ramsammy disclosed yesterday. He said that there is a soil laboratory at the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) but very often farmers are forced to send their soil samples overseas for testing. The Ministry of Agriculture is holding ongoing discussions with its agencies - GuySuCo, Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB), Mahaica-Mahaicony-Abary/Agricultural Development Authority (MMA/ADA), National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute (NAREI), the Fisheries Department, Guyana

Livestock Development Authority (GLDA) and the Pesticides Board to decide on the design and workings of this laboratory. He said, “I would hope that by this time next year no farmer will need to send samples abroad.” The establishment of the laboratory will make soil testing more accessible and more affordable and will enable a farmer to make better decisions in relation to the use of fertilizer. Dr Ramsammy observed that soil analysis is a valuable tool for farmers as it determines the inputs required for efficient and economic production. He said that soil tests help to ensure application of enough fertilizer to meet the requirements of the respective crop, while taking advantage of the nutrients already present in the soil. “It will either lead to reduced dependency on fertilizers or more effective use of fertilizers, all of which could lead to a cost savings for the benefit of the producer,” the minister said. ***PULL QUOTE: The establishment of the laboratory will make soil testing more accessible and more affordable and will enable a farmer to make better decisions in relation to the use of fertilizer – Dr Ramsammy.

In what appears to be an answer to their prayer, an angel descends from heaven and restores the family, including bringing the husband back. MANY THEMES The play explores several themes including child labour, importance of family, love, faith, perseverance and the

power of prayer. The cast which is made up entirely of students from Leonora Secondary School gave mature performances, suggesting that they have a bright future ahead of them in the performing arts should they choose to make a career of it. Tomorrow is the third and final day for school performances, and judging by what obtained over the first two days, more talented and creative productions can be expected.

PYO urges Guyanese to guard against Opposition’s tyrannical tendencies - warns that ‘those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it’

THE Progressive Youth Organisation (PYO) said it is exasperated by the callous nature of the Opposition that has again been revealed in the non-passage of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Amendment Bill. “Unlike the Amaila Falls project, the Specialty Hospital Project or the CJIA, all of which are aimed to move Guyana forward, the AML/CFT amendment bill is intended to continue the status quo on how the private sector and individual citizens conduct business with their overseas partners,” the PYO said in a statement. It argued that the defeat of the bill is a clear indication of the Opposition’s willingness to directly hurt the current economic climate and force a regression. It is clear that the Opposition is gearing up for elections and wishes to effect economic instability in our country in order to create an economic platform from which to attack the PPP. The people of Guyana cannot continue to turn a blind eye to what is clearly an act of sabotage by the Opposition. Their rhetoric that they need more time to examine the bill is non-sensical. We just have to look at the records, the Bill was in the Special Select Committee from May 16 2013, yet we are to believe that the intervening 5 months was not sufficient for the Committee to complete the work on the Bill. According to the PYO, it is a childish excuse equivalent to saying that the ‘Dog ate my homework’. The records show that the most vocal critics of the bill, Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan and Mrs. Deborah Backer attended less than 42% and 36% of meetings respectively for the consideration of the Bill. “What is also clear is that the Opposition, on August 5 2013, outvoted the PPP/C and further delayed any meetings until October, the month the Bill was to be read again. They apparently believed that by using the Goebbels trick that ‘If you tell a lie…and keep

repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it’ they will get some kind of sympathy from the people.” The PYO, which is the youth arm of the governing People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), said the dictatorial nature of the Opposition is quite astounding. When the Private Sector Commission requested that their petition be heard in Parliament, one Opposition member said the Private Sector Commission “does not have a vote”. This, the PYO contends is a clear indication that the Opposition does not understand the meaning of Democracy. When the Private Sector Commission, representing Guyana’s Private Sector and the hundreds of thousands of people who work in it and play a major role in Guyana’s economy; the largest trade union organisation, FITUG and the Guyana Rice Producers Association are ignored by a political Opposition with a slim one seat majority in Parliament, it is a clear sign of their undemocratic and authoritarian nature. “We are surely facing a clear and present danger when to spite the PPP, the Opposition is willing to do harm to the workers and the private citizens of Guyana once again,” the PYO asserted. The PYO, therefore, calls on all citizens of Guyana, on the Private Sector and the labour movement - the engine of economic growth, “to do to the Opposition what has been done to all of us”. “Withhold your support for them,” the PYO charged. “We have to show them that Democracy is the will of the people and that the personal vendetta of a few political dinosaurs cannot impede our future.” The PYO is also urging Guyanese to guard against their historical tyrannical tendencies which are coming to the fore once again for “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

Man, 52, on trial for murdering wife in 2010

- allegedly stabbed her nine times By George Barclay JUSTICE Navindra Singh and a mixed jury at the Demerara Assizes, yesterday, heard a story about how a 52-year-old husband is alleged to have murdered his 36-year-old wife in 2010 by stabbing her nine times with a knife. On that day Donette Ward was at her mother Princess Peters’ residence at Lot 100 Herstelling, East Bank Demerara. Sometime during the morning of April 24, 2010, the accused Jeffrey Ward, Donette’s husband, went there. In her opening address to the jury, Prosecutrix Mrs. Judith Gildharie-Mursalin told them that Donette’s niece Stacey De Cambra was also there. The prosecutrix added: “She will tell you that the accused Jeffrey went into Donette’s bedroom. Sometime after Stacey heard her aunt screaming. Stacey ran into Donette’s bedroom where she saw Jeffrey sitting on Donette’s thighs. Donette was lying on her back. As he sat on his wife’s thighs Jeffrey was stabbing her with a knife. He stopped stabbing Donette and went after Stacey with a knife firing stabs at her. Stacey backed away. Donette got up from the bed and ran out of the front door. Jeffrey ran after Donette. Stacey ran after him and when he exited the front door, she locked that door and the back door as well. She then went into her bedroom and looked through her window and saw Jeffrey running to her mother. Stacey also saw residents running towards her neighbour’s shop which is the building south of her home. She then ran to the shop where she saw her aunt Donette with what appeared to be wounds to her body and a cut to her left hand and her left leg, breast and abdomen. Stacey called her aunt’s name but she did not respond. Then Ramchand Roopnaraine came with his Canter truck and with the help of other neighbours Donette was placed in the vehicle. Policewoman Corporal Adduni Inniss accompanied Donette to the Diamond Hospital where she was pronounced dead by a doctor. A post- mortem examination was performed on Donette’s body two days after on April 26, 2010 by Government Forensic Pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh who found that Donette had sustained nine incised wounds. Attorney –at-Law Mr. Huckumchand is defending. The hearing is continuing.

Health facility commissioned at Haags Bosch landfill site By Shirley Thomas A HEALTH facility at the Haags Bosch Sanitary Landfill site aback of Eccles, East Bank, Demerara, to cater for the health needs of landfill recyclers, as well as other employees engaged in the removal and compacting of solid waste at the location, was commissioned yesterday. Recyclers are persons who search and sort solid waste on landfill sites. The initiative was accomplished through a partnership involving the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Local Government (which has responsibility for developing the site), the Ministry of Health which is providing the health care, and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) which provided funding. In addition, there’s Haidi, an Italian firm with responsibility for providing site supervision to ensure the site is developed according to plan, and BK International which has overall responsibility for the removal and management of the waste at the landfill site, as well as the construction of the health facility. Present also at the commissioning were IDB Consultant, Dr. Peter Cohen; PAHO/ WHO Representative Dr. Malhi Cho; Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Health, Joseph

Hamilton; Ministry of Local Government official Gordon Gilkes; BK Office Manager Egan Bazilio; Waste Management Consultant Rufus Lewis and Operations Manager Mr. Patterson and Baldeo James, Regional Health Services Officer. Also witnessing the ceremony were Medex Jasmin Jones and staff of the Agricola Health Centre and others. Chairperson was Consultant Audreyanna Thomas. BK Office Manager Bazilio said that BK was pleased to be associated with the Ministry of Health in the provision of the service: “We are quite happy with the symbiotic relationship since this health centre will help save a tremendous amount of time which would normally be spent if the workers were to travel long distances to Georgetown, Diamond or Agricola Health Centres to seek medical attention. But today, the service is being brought on site where the environment is ideally suited for them.” Bazilio said the facility is highly justifiable because in a landfill site, the sorting of solid waste for recycling exposes the recyclers, potentially, to direct and indirect risks. Direct risks would come from injuries from sharps, lifting of heavy materials and from the disposal of untreated medical waste. Indirect risks would come from contaminated waste material

and the spread of communicable diseases such as hepatitis and typhoid, he explained. In 2012, the BK landfill staff, recognising potential risks, established a technical relationship with the nearest medical centre at Agricola. That centre provided a once monthly service, evaluating and treating the 60-odd recycling workers as well as others, totalling more than 100 who daily occupy the same geographical space at the landfill site. Agricola Health Centre was detailed to respond to this par-

ticular health need. The job was undertaken faithfully and reliably by the medex and staff, but there were limitations, since the patients were being seen under a hut, and there was no adequate arrangement in place to facilitate private examinations. Upon the advice of BK International, the Ministry of Health proceeded to have the services upgraded to a fullfledged health centre with a permanent medical staff with one doctor, one Medex, a pharmacist and one nurse. Work commenced last January and

was recently completed. Hamilton spoke on behalf of Minister of Health Dr. Bheri Ramsaran who was unable to attend because he had to be at a Cabinet Meeting. Hamilton congratulated all the stakeholders, particularly Medex Jones and her hard working health team from Agricola Health Centre who consistently worked with the beneficiaries and never shied away from their responsibility. He also had kudos for the sterling contribution of an employ-

ee identified as Lloyd Stanton who teamed up with Mr. Baldeo James to get the work done. And declaring that the partnership has not ended, Hamilton said, “I would see this as the beginning of a process. The partnership has not ended, but has started today.” He disclosed that the Ministry of Local Government is working to establish regional landfill sites, so the stakeholders will have to go to other communities where landfill sites are to be established.

Cops recover $1M snatched from store clerk at Linden, suspect nabbed By Michel Outridge

Dr. Peter Cohen and Dr. Malhi Cho at the commissioning ceremony for the health facility at Haags Bosch sanitary landfill site.

POLICE, responding promptly following an armed robbery yesterday afternoon in Linden, arrested the suspect and recovered $1M which was taken from a Gizmos and Gadgets store employee who was heading to the bank. The store clerk was robbed at knifepoint while on her way to a nearby bank to make a deposit at Republic Avenue, McKenzie, Linden. Police reported that at about 12:05 hrs, Shibikie Pollard, a sales clerk attached to Gizmos and Gadgets, was taking approximately $1M to the bank when she was held up by a man armed with a knife at Republic Avenue, Mackenzie, Linden. The perpetrator took away the bag with the cash and stole a motor vehicle that was at a nearby wash bay and fled the scene in it. The police responded quickly to the report received and intercepted the motor vehicle at Amelia’s Ward, Mackenzie. The suspect has been arrested and all the stolen money and motor vehicle recovered.

For road traffic victims...

Guyana joins World Day of Remembrance this Sunday GUYANA National Road Safety Council (GNRSC) will join in the annual observance of World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims on the third Sunday of this month. The local organisation said the occasion is annually observed by an increasing number of countries on every continent. The day is dedicated to remembering the many millions killed or injured in road crashes and their families and communities, as well as pay tribute to the dedicated emergency crews, police and medical professionals who, daily, deal with the traumatic aftermath of road deaths and injuries.

Police unveil comprehensive security plan for ‘A’ Division By Leroy Smith COMMANDER of the Police ‘A’ Division, Assistant Commissioner Derrick Josiah, on Monday, unveiled a comprehensive security plan for the capital and its environs, as economic activities increase for the upcoming Christmas season. Atop that strategy are increased police visibility, intelligence, traffic congestion and roadblocks to deal with the situations expected to arise at this time of the year. The divisional operations will be intensified from this coming Friday and continue through January 15. The heightened police presence and actions, like in previous years, are geared at ensuring that members of the public can be in a safe and secure environment. Before announcing the strategic details, Josiah pointed out that the police have come to the conclusion that whatever the Force has been doing during that period in previous years is working and should be continued. The ‘A’ Division will be divided into five sections to ensure the effective execution of its Christmas programme, whch would be managed by an Assistant Superintendent or Cadet Officer along with an adequate number of ranks. Special operations will also be heightened by members of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) around hotels, banks, night spots, post offices and other business places. While patrols would be targeting those places, there will also be more police patrolling around the Georgetown Prisons, Stabroek and other market places. MASS PATROLS Armed ranks on foot will cordon and search and mass patrols will be done between 07:00 hrs and 13:00 hrs and the cycle would overlap and repeat itself from 12:00 hrs to 19:00 hrs daily. Meanwhile, during that month, from December 24 to 31, the public would see more foot patrols, specially, to cater for accommodating late shopping. The Christmas strategy also provides for those persons coming into the country at this time of the year, and police will be conducting patrolling and intelligence surveillance in a turn system to assure the safety of those travelling to the city. It is also planned for the police to network with the other commanders and divisions of the Force to make sure the safe arrival of those arriving, by accessing the various flight itineraries, particularly of late night flights, for patrols to arrange their patrolling accordingly. The police are also catering for assistance from Community Policing Groups (CPGs) and rural constables. The areas targeted for intense patrols are Alberttown, Queenstown, Alexander Village, East La Penitence, Campbellville, North and South Ruimveldt, as well as Middle Road and Kitty, all within the city and Diamond, and Grove, East Bank Demerara. Domestic violence and noise nuisance are also going to be of concern to the police at this time of year and several Georgetown streets would be converted to temporary one-ways to ease congestion as part of the measures to address the traffic situation. Special attention will be paid, too, to those who drink and drive and others who operate vehicles without the relevant documents.

GNRSC acknowledged that those deaths and injuries are sudden, violent, traumatic events, the impact of which is long-lasting, often permanent. Each year, millions of newly injured and bereaved people from every corner of the world are added to the countless millions already suffering as the result. It noted that the burden of grief and distress experienced by this huge number of people is all the greater, because many of the victims are young, many of the crashes could and should have been prevented. The response to road deaths and injuries and to victims and families is often inadequate, unsympathetic, and inappropriate to the loss of or quality of life, as well, GNRSC stated. GREAT NEED This special Remembrance Day, GNRSC said, is intended to respond to the great need of road crash victims for public recognition of their loss and suffering. “This day has also become an important tool for governments and all those whose work involves crash prevention or response to the aftermath, since it offers the opportunity to demonstrate the enormous scale and impact of road deaths and injuries and the urgent need for concerted action to stop the carnage,”a statement said.

The GNRSC, in partnership with the Ministry of Home Affairs, Guyana Police Force, Ministry of Public Works and all road safety stakeholders, every year observes this Remembrance Day, with a public awareness walk and concert. In relation to traffic, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) said there has been a decrease, by five road fatalities, at the end of October 2013, in comparison to the same period in 2012. The statistics show 85 fatalities from 79 accidents in 2013 as compared to 90 fatalities from 83 accidents during 2012. The period January 1 to October 31, 2013, saw reductions in relation to the other traffic accidents, categorised as serious, minor or involving damage. So far, pedestrians have been the main road users affected, with 29 such having lost their lives at the end of October 2013. In addition, 14 motorcyclists, 12 pedal cyclists, 12 drivers of motor vehicles, two pillion riders and 16 passengers of motor vehicles also lost their lives. However, speeding continues to be a major contributing factor to fatal accidents and was the cause of 55 of the 79 fatalities that occurred by the end of October 2013. Traffic enforcement by the Police, during the period January to October 2013, resulted in a total of 72,216 cases being made against errant motorists and, of those, 18,810 were for speeding.

Police report five per cent increase in serious crimes …drop in murders, increase in road deaths, armed robberies …16 domestic deaths, 85 road fatalities By Leroy Smith

GUYANA has seen an overall increase in serious crimes for the period ending January 1 to October 31, 2013, compared with the corresponding period in 2012. The Guyana Police Force in statistics released Monday stated that 3,350 serious crimes were reported between January 1 and October 31, 2013 while for 2012 there were 33,201 serious crime reports. The statistics were arrived at by the monitoring of the following offences: murder, robbery under arms, robbery with violence, larceny from the person, break and enter and larceny, burglary, rape and kidnapping. The total number of murders for the 2013 period has been recorded at 108, compared to 115 for the corresponding period, which represents a 6 per cent decrease, according to the police. Of the murders recorded for this year, 47 were considered disorderly; 20 were committed during armed robberies; two were execution style and 16 were domestic-related, while the remaining 23 have been undetermined. With 921 reports of robbery under arms for 2013 compared to 858 for the corresponding period in 2012, this offence has seen an increase of seven per cent. Meanwhile, within that figure there has been a 16 per cent increase in the number of armed robberies

involving the use of firearms and a 6 per cent decrease in armed robberies in which instruments other than a firearm were used by the perpetrators. The police have also given statistics in relation to the traffic situation for the period January 1 to October 31, 2013. There has been a decrease of five per cent in the number of road deaths. Last year saw 83 accidents and 90 deaths while for 2013 there have been 79 accidents with 85 deaths. There was also a reduction in other categories of traffic accidents, including serious, minor and damage accidents. Meanwhile, pedestrians were again listed as the main road users affected by accidents with 29 persons losing their lives. In addition 14 motor cyclists; 12 pedal cyclists; 12 drivers of motor vehicles; two pillion riders and 16 passengers of motor vehicles also lost their lives. SPEEDING The police also stated that speeding continues to be a contributing factor to fatal accidents and was the cause of 55 of the 79 fatal accidents recorded from January to October 2013. Traffic enforcement by the police during the period January to October 2013 resulted in a total of 72,216 cases being made against errant motorists and of this total, 18, 810 cases were for speeding.

Inmate jailed for 17 years after bludgeoning fellow prisoner to death … committed to psychiatric hospital

By George Barclay A PRISONER accused of killing his fellow inmate by hitting him with an iron rod on his head while he was asleep in 2006, was yesterday jailed for 17 years, following an effective plea in mitigation and a probation report. However, Anthony Gregory Patmore, who before and after the alleged killing had shown signs of mental illness, that caused him to be hospitalized at a psychiatric hospital, will be kept at that hospital until he is fully recovered. Justice Diana Insanally sentenced the accused yesterday after he had pleaded not guilty to murder but guilty to the lesser count of manslaughter. Padmore is indicted with having between the 13th and 14th of August, 2006, murdered Nkosi McLeod, known as Nkosi, a fellow prisoner at the Georgetown Prison. The accused was defended by Attorney-at-Law Mr. D.

Todd, and appeared in court some time ago and pleaded not guilty to the capital charge, but guilty to the lesser count of manslaughter. Justice Insanally ordered a probation report. That report together with a mitigation report by the defence lawyer was presented yesterday, indicating that the accused has partly recovered from the illness that had again attacked him following the commission of the crime, and he was now remorseful. Defence counsel said that the accused took the particular course since he did not wish to waste the court’s time. The judge taking all the circumstances into consideration began with a sentence of 30 years, but decided to subtract 13 years in consideration for the years of his incarceration, the probation report and mitigation, leaving a sentence of 17 years. State Counsel Dionne Mc Cammon prosecuted.

Ninety-six graduate from Carnegie School of Home Economics --with critical technical skills

By Shirley Thomas THE Carnegie School of Home Economics held its 79th Annual Graduation Exercise last Thursday, and 96 students of hope and promise from the Craft Production and Design Division graduated, many with distinctions in various disciplines, bringing added distinction to the prestigious institution which holds a reputation for success. The ceremony was held at the National Cultural Centre under the theme “Excellence Through Creativity”, and came at a time when that prestigious institution is celebrating its 80th year of existence, having commenced operations in 1933. The institution has since grown from strength to strength, with added programmes and courses being offered. The graduating class is as follows:

Companies, the Exclusive Kingston House and Campsite, Atlantic Inn and Campsite, among others. Chairman of the Board of Governors, Mr. John Seeram, congratulated the graduates the hard-working and dedicated staff, and other members of the board for their part played in moving the institution forward. He urged the graduates, even amidst celebration, on the path ahead. “You are now at a crucial stage of your career and still some distance away from your desired destination, but I caution you graduates, that your achievements should be taken in the spirit of modesty and simplicity. You should always remember all those individuals who have contributed to your success, including your tutors/lecturers, parents, relatives, friends and associates.”

* Household Management – Commercial Food Preparation (27 graduates) * Household Management - Garment Construction (2) * Cosmetology (22) * Catering and Hospitality (31) * Visual Arts (22) During the past year, the following programmes were conducted, principal of the institution, Ms. Penelope Harris, said:

Leading performers display their trophies at the graduation. Seeram commended those who may have aided by way of imparting knowledge and skills; and would have provided financial and other material and moral support in order to help create a conducive learning and teaching environment for the graduates. He commended those significant others who have invested time, money and other resources in the graduates, and reminded the graduates that the support system has high expectations of them. He admonished the graduates not to disappoint the support system. Citing some of the work options, he pointed to job opportunities in the following areas: Tourism, Hospitality, Catering Services; Visual Arts, Teaching and the Establishment of Small-Scale Businesses, among other occupations. He also enlightened them on the possibility of pursuing higher education at the University of Guyana in the areas of Tourism Studies and Creative Arts at both the Diploma and Degree levels. Seeram said the Carnegie School of Home Economics presently continues to fulfil a pressing need for technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in the areas of Home Economics, Tourism and Hospitality. Meanwhile, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, Mr. Alfred King, described the Carnegie School of Home Economics as an institution to be proud of. He acknowledged the tremendous work of those tasked with keeping

Mr. John Seeram presents a trophy to one of the best graduating students. the institution going, and said he hopes the institution keeps evolving, in keeping with new trends as well as the needs of Guyana’s young people. King noted that the institution is fundamental to growth and development of our human resource base, as well as to the pool of diverse skills resources at our disposal that could contribute in meaningful ways to growth and development in almost every sector of society. While recognising that education contributes to the reduction of poverty, unemployment and poor choices, he pointed to a fundamental lack in a special type of education that would guarantee not only existence, but meaningful participation in social and economic activities. That he saw as the robust acquisition of technical and vocational skills, and he congratulated the Carnegie School of Home Economics for filling this valued niche. To this end, King alluded to the power and influence of small businesses on developing economies. “But that cannot be without the right tools and right mix of skills that would contribute to the development of these skills,” he contended, adding that focusing on such education system can seriously influence the generation of wealth and good living. King argued strongly that a large pool of people equipped with the right vocational skills would be able to turn around the economy, and impact heavily on economic and social development. “We must value and recognise the contribution that technical and vocational skills have been making over the years. It has a serious and fundamental role, and that role is to equip boys and girls (without limit) with the fundamentals that would allow them to develop technical skills necessary to support an industrialised developing country.” In wrapping up, King also stressed the need for a decentralisation of the training offered by the Carnegie School of Home Economics to other regions of the country. Holding the institution in high esteem, the Permanent Secretary said that ever since the hosting of Carifesta X in Guyana, and again at Carifesta in Suriname in 2013, the ministry has accredited the Carnegie School of Home Economics as a good partner. “Basically, we are always proud of our partnership with the institution,” he said. Against this backdrop, Mr. King would like to see the Carnegie School of Home Economics being extended to other regions of Guyana, so that none would be denied the opportunity of benefiting from such valuable training.

Vendors demand authorities take steps to save historic Kitty Market - but the buck stops with the mayor, says Local Gov’t Minister

By Savitri Laikram LAST Saturday, several concerned Kitty Market stallholders demanded that urgent steps be taken by the Mayor and City Council and central government to save the historic Kitty Market. When this publication visited the market, vendors were seen gathered at one stall loudly complaining about the harsh conditions in which they have to vend.

MORAL OBLIGATION Moreover, the stallholders are also opposed to any form of privatisation of the market. They believe that both central government and the City Council have a moral obligation to rehabilitate the market. The vendors in expressing their concerns noted that many of them depend on the market for their livelihoods and they are Minister Ganga Persaud

National Drama Festival opens with stirring school performances

By Alex Wayne THE National Drama Festival 2013 opened at the National Cultural Centre Monday with stirring presentations by participating schools. Monday marked the beginning of three days of activities as schools showcase their plays before an esteemed panel of judges. Lucky schools at this level will be able to rake in a spot at the final segment

of the event that will be hosted in the near future. When the schools presentations would have been completed over the three days period, the organizers will then move unto the adult segment that will showcase some of Guyana’s more talented and experienced dramatists. Speaking at the event, organiser Godfrey Naughton indicated that for the past six months his committee engaged in a stirring coun-

trywide programme reaching youths and laying foundations in those communities. He said that they were able to lure youths from all walks of life who had all shown an interest in the field of drama. Naughton said that several workshops were also held and over 700 youths from all over Guyana were touched by drama. He said that coming out of those workshops; several ‘real life’ issues came to light

quite frustrated over the circumstances under which they are forced to ply their trades. Meanwhile, the stallholders are of the firm view that the present state of the market is due to the wilful neglect by the City Council over the last 15 years. The vendors claimed that they have formed a committee and have written several letters to President Donald Ramotar, to Minister of Local Government Ganga Persaud and City Mayor Hamilton Green and Town Clerk Carol Sooba, pleading for help. They stated that they are “fed up” of hearing that action will be taken, and are demanding that a decision be made for immediate works as the state of the market is driving customers away. At a press conference last

Thursday, acting Town Clerk Carol Sooba promised that a firm decision will be made with regard to the market and the vendors will see relief soon. And Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Ganga Persaud, is urging the City Council to cease their “charade” and “own up to their responsibilities” in the city. Last month, at a press conference at the ministry in Kingston, Georgetown, the Local Government Minister said that he had recently received a letter from Mayor Green complaining about the state of the Kitty Market. The minister pointed out that under the Urban Development Programme (UDP), the ministry on behalf of the Government of Guyana (GoG)

would have sought and received a loan from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) to focus on municipal governance and municipal infrastructure. He noted that during a discussion regarding the concept paper of the various projects undertaken under the UDP, the Georgetown municipality had identified the Stabroek Market and in that process, the government was urged to expend resources to fix the roof and establish a second floor as well as deal with lighting issues, while the municipality would seek to fix the Kitty Market. He pointed out that the government has executed the projects in the Stabroek Market, and even did additional works there, noting that “We met our commitment to the max. The city has met no commitment to the Kitty Market but they find it convenient to pass it over to the government.” The minister noted that market revenue is collected for

and plays were created by youths to reflect instances of child abuse, domestic violence, absentee parents and other concerns. He added that during this time the Ministry of Culture Youth and Sports had taken great pains to ensure those involved were taught proper stage use, and use of lights, concluding that the National Drama Festival should be the improvement of the markets so he is questioning the type of management City Hall is providing to vendors and people who reside in Georgetown. Minister Persaud said that they are collecting monies and nothing is being fixed, everything is “run down” and they seek to look at the government and demand to have things fixed. He noted also that they are going about “playing the political football game”, saying that the government is giving them a hard time just because City Hall is managed by persons who are not from the People’s Progressive Party/Civic Government. THE BUCK STOPS WITH THE MAYOR “So this kind of charade must stop and people must own up to their responsibilities and if people’s memories are failing they must not try to ascribe that to others,” Persaud said. He concluded that, “Mayor Hamilton Green needs to revisit the commitment given by the municipality of Georgetown when we were conceptualising the UDP, with regard to Kitty Market. The buck stops with the mayor and his council, they need to answer to the vendors and citizens why and how have they allowed the Kitty Market to meet the stage and what they have been doing with market revenue collected from the vendors.”

regarded as a ‘Guyanese experience’. I n h i s b r i e f a d d re s s , Chief Education Officer Olato Sam noted that his ministry greatly valued this engagement and has been involved in all aspects of it through their Allied Arts Department. He noted that the winning school at this leg of the drama festival would be representing Guyana one month from now at the regional level in Barbados. He said that from the involvement in the festival, students have been able to develop skills that will benefit them for a lifetime. Mr Sam related that as a result, students have become more articulate and balanced, and have been able to foster critical and positive thinking. He said that it is indeed a positive move now that the arts is being introduced at the CSEC Examinations, and expressed pride at a batch of students who recently took the theatrical arts aspect of the examination. Culture Ministry’s Dr. Frank Anthony, in his address, said he is elated that the third edition of the festival has started, and emphasised that he expects a better festival this year with all the efforts that were put into it by the parties concerned. The minister expressed the hope that schools partaking in the Literature syllabus would teach using drama as a medium of effective learning. Minister Anthony indicated that through the arts, youths can develop a better holistic balance, emphasising that drama should be considered as important and of great value. While the Culture Ministry has donated a funds into making this venture a reality, the minister expressed gratitude to Digicel and other entities who have contributed

in cash or kind towards the success of the event. Dr. Frank Anthony revealed that a School of Theatre and Drama is being conducted at the NCC presently, informing that the first batch of students have graduated from the institution only recently. ENTERTAINMENT Taking to the stage yesterday was the Ascension Secondary School with a brilliant play dubbed, ‘A flower without Petal’. The audience were visibly stirred as talented students brought to life the story of a teenaged girl and boy who are made to work at age fifteen, by a wicked and abusive stepfather and are not allowed to attended school regularly. An intervening aunt took matters to the police but received no justice there so she decided to take things in her own hands, even more so when the poor girl tearfully related that she was sexually abused by her stepfather. Well like they say, ‘bad men should never sleep’. And this was the case with the stepfather who fell asleep in the home after having his fill of the young girl, and beating her brother. Sending the sobbing child and her equally tearful mother to the police, the aunt visited the home and as luck would have it, found the stepfather asleep and snoring. The NCC was in an uproar as she rained blows on him with a piece of wood. She was soon joined by the young girl’s school friends who assisted in the beating before he was handed over to the police. The plays concluded with a resounding bang, as the players called on the authorities to intensify efforts to eradicate child abuse and domestic voilence.

Towards bettering health care...

Doobay’s Medical Centre opens a school

THE Doobay Medical Centre has opened a school where its students are trained in, among other things, phlebotomy, laboratory technology, and to become pharmaceutical assistants. With its mandate to provide better health care for the Guyanese public, the Director Mr. Vickram Oditt, said training started last September, in commemoration of Doobay’s Medical Centre’s second anniversary. He said the costs for classes are kept at a very minimal level and students are allowed to pay on a monthly basis. Oditt said special lecturers were hired, as it was recognised that a number Mr. Vickram Oditt, of students were poised Director of Doobay and willing to learn when Medical Centre the registration date was announced. He said several persons with hopes and expectations turned up and expressed their eagerness to learn. Oditt declared that Doobay’s is a “Centre of Excellence” and it is important to keep its standards high, be it in academics or dialysis treatment. He said classes are conducted in a comfortable classroom. However, with 105 students, they have to be held twice a day to accommodate everyone. Oditt said the “modernised” classroom was made possible only because of donations from certain entities, for example, the television was donated by COURTS Guyana Inc, the panels by the St. Stanislaus Group, and furniture by Kissoon’s Store. EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES He acknowledged that, although similar classes are provided by the Ministry of Health, he is positive that employment opportunities will be given to Doobay’s students after they have completed their courses. He said the latter group will be sitting a local as well as an external examination, so as to ensure employment if they decide to leave Guyana. Oditt said the school, which is a non-profit organisation, has been registered with the Ministry of Health and functions mainly through donations, for which all donors are recognised and the accounts are audited. He said the management is extremely proud of the progress that the institution has made in only two years of its existence, and in a matter of weeks construction will commence on the new hospital building. Oditt also told the Chronicle that the expansion of the edifice will continue and the dialysis treatment will not stop as they would build around it and gradually join the structures. He said, upon completion of the project, the centre will be a hospital comprising three storeys, inclusive of operating theatres and a pharmacy, among other health facilities. “We are bringing medicine to[the] East Coast,” he pointed out, stating that the Renal Centre, presently, has 40 patients and Doobay’s is working closely with the private and public sectors as well as the Ministry of Health to provide proper health care. A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed, enabling Doobay’s to be financially assisted by the ministry and even offer services at a more reduced cost. Only recently, equipment to operate a new renal centre at the Georgetown Public Hospital was donated by Doobay’s, in the effort to make health care better.

In order to be able to respond to these obligations, Stuart said that the Legion would welcome any assistance that anyone has to offer.

CARICOM, UNESCO sign revised MOU

- LaRocque says agreement will support implementation of critical programmes THE Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Monday inked a revised Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in Paris, France. And CARICOM’s Secretary General, Ambassador Irwin LaRocque, said the agreement not only builds on existing co-operation, but will undoubtedly take the partnership further in the implementation of programmes critical to the development of countries, societies and the quality of life of the people of the Caribbean Community. He said, “We are pleased to further reaffirm and strengthen that relationship through the signing of a revised Memorandum of Understanding. “The revised MOU builds on our existing co-operation and addresses some of the emerging issues that now underpin the Community’s development in more fundamental ways. These include the building of inclusive knowledge societies; fostering innovation; inculcating appropriate life skills; and addressing several of the inter-connected issues which will be brought together to address our development needs. “A number of these issues will also feature prominently in the Post-2015 Development Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals. The cultural component of the agreement also addresses capacity building for cultural industries which is of specific relevance to our Region as we roll out the recently approved CARICOM Cultural Industry Strategy.” LaRocque added that CARICOM is looking to deepen its engagement with UNESCO in the coming years, the first MOU having been signed a decade ago. The signing coincided with a meeting of UNESCO’s Director-General, Irina Bokova, and CARICOM delegations to the 37th UNESCO General Conference.

CRITICAL TIMING The Secretary General stated that the 37th General Conference is occurring at a “critical time” for both UNESCO and CARICOM, when both organisations are examining and refocusing efforts to ensure a meaningful contribution to improving the quality of life for the people they serve. “For your Organisation, Director-General, my understanding is that your process is principally in response to global challenges to peace and development. Of note, is your broadening of partnerships with the private sector, civil society and other inter-governmental organisations,” he said. The Secretary General added that the conference, in the lead up to the Third SIDS Global Conference (Samoa 2014), and the elaboration of the Post-2015 Development Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals, provides excellent opportunities for collective contemplation and reshaping of perspectives. He said, “I am confident that this 37th General Conference will focus on policies and initiatives required for the successful implementation of that Agenda and the achievement of those goals. “Our Region has identified specific interests in this regard, including a focus on investing in resilience beyond mere addressing of vulnerabilities; refocusing of education systems to address relevance to 21st Century skill requirements and employability; addressing youth unemployment; and the development of critical life skills. “The issue of preparing young persons for life in a digital age and the implications for our education systems, both in terms of teacher education and school curricula, and the improvement of skills in Science and Mathematics, are high on the priorities for human resource development in our Region. “Addressing the challenge of attrition and under performance of males throughout our Caribbean education system is an on-go-

ing struggle. These are among the areas in which the cooperation with our development partners, including UNESCO, has proven invaluable, and we look forward to strengthening partnerships in these areas.” According to him, CARICOM member states are known and respected internationally for their many traditional as well as contemporary, cultural expressions in areas such as music, art, craft, the literary and culinary arts, fashion, festivals and theatre. “Over the past biennium, the increased efforts by UNESCO with regard to awareness building and the importance of preservation of our intangible cultural heritage, have been of significant benefit to the Region. There are so many traditions, indigenous medicines, beliefs, stories, symbols and songs which constitute a vital part of the rich cultural heritage of our people. These make us distinct and unique,” he said. LaRocque stressed that CARICOM member states, therefore, have a deeply vested interest in the preservation, protection and promotion of this rich cultural heritage. He said, “This commitment is based on the belief in the importance of safeguarding our cultural heritage for our next generation, to preserve the rich knowledge and skills of our societies and ensure that these are transferred from generation to generation. This contributes to social cohesion and engenders a sense of our Caribbean identity and a sense of belonging. “…We are also keenly aware of the need to improve the preservation of our architectural heritage and in this regard we welcomed with enthusiasm in 2011 the addition of Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison to the List of World Heritage Sites. We look forward to the assistance of UNESCO in capacity building for preparing our COMMUNITY to have further sites listed.” He pointed out that the Convention for the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage and the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage are critical in this process, and assured that the CARICOM Secretariat will continue its efforts in encouraging member states to become parties to these conventions.

Towards eliminating manual reading…

GPL starts installing meters for better quality service GUYANA Power & Light (GPL) has commenced the first phase of its Advanced Metering Infrastructure ( A M I ) p ro g r a m m e , t h a t

would provide customers with more accurate meter reading every month, offer information about their energy usage and a system for

recognising power outages without their input. The project is financed under a loan agreement with the Inter-American Development

Bank (IDB), facilitated by the Government of Guyana for the sustainable operation of the electricity sector and improved quality of service.

Under this part of the pilot project, 2,000 smart meters, which are a component of the AMI system, will be installed.

The pilot zone extends from Avenue of the Republic to Vlissengen Road and North Road to South Road, including Regent, Robb and Charlotte Streets. The scheme incorporates technology that allows electric meters to be read remotely and provide a wide range of benefits to customers, as well as operational savings through increased efficiencies to GPL. Additionally, the AMI will, eventually, be implemented countrywide and serve as a platform to eliminate manual meter reading, provide remote monitoring of the electricity distribution system and enable customers to manage their bills by tracking their consumption and demand via internet. “AMI has been proven to provide wide-ranging operational and customer benefits including improved customer service and more options for our customers to manage their energy bills,” said John Cush, Consultant with responsibility for the implementation of the Sustainable Operation of the Electricity Sector and Improved Quality of Service Project. 138,000 METERS GPL has approximately 138,000 meters scheduled to be read every month but some remain unread because of severe weather, dogs, locked gates or other access problems. “With AMI, we will be able to, significantly, improve the daily meter reading rate, which will eliminate the vast majority of estimated bills,” Cush said. Besides more accurate meter reading, AMI will provide customers these benefits: *remote monitoring of the distribution network which will enable faster and more reliable power outage detection and restoration. In addition, the system will detect low voltage situations impacting a customer’s service. *an ability to track consumption and demand and provide assistance to adjust consumption to align with budgets, as well as a choice of billing cycles to better meet customers’ cash flow requirements and * identification of individual service problems that may not be immediately apparent behind a circuit-wide problem.

Guyanese on buggery charge prevented from leaving Trinidad A GUYANESE teenager charged with buggering his five-year-old relative has been ordered not to return to his homeland Guyana. This was one of several conditions imposed on the 15-year-old accused who was granted $70,000 bail, with his uncle standing surety to cover all charges. The five offences spawned a two-year period and, allegedly, were committed at the victim’s home. The other charges include two counts of grievous sexual assault and two counts of serious indecency. Reports from Trinidad said the teenager was not called upon to plea to the offences, which were read to him by Magistrate Annette McKenzie in the San Fernando First Court. Trinidadian attorney Sherry Ramoutar said the teen lived with his uncle in Williamsville, while his parents are living in Guyana. The lawyer said the teenager did not attend school but was learning a trade. Court Prosecutor Cleyon Seedan asked for certain stipulations to be attached to the pre-trial liberty, stating that the teen lived about half-a-mile away from the child and frequented the house because other relatives live there. The magistrate ordered him to stay away from the victim’s home, surrender his T&T and Guyana passports, barred him from obtaining a new passport and to have no contact with the virtual complainant. The magistrate explained to the teenager’s uncle that he would be responsible for bringing him to Court and, if he failed to do so, it was possible he would have to pay $70,000. The case was adjourned to December 9, 2013.

Three arrests in one of two Sunday robberies

POLICE are investigating an armed robbery that occurred at about 23:00 hrs on November 10, on Friendship Public Road, East Bank Demerara, during which Peter Rajmangal, 58, of 58 Miles, Mabura Road, was robbed, by two men with handguns, of $3.5M and a cell phone. Rajmangal was driving a minibus when an oncoming motor car swerved and blocked his path while the robbers exited the other vehicle and held him up. No arrests have been made for that crime, as yet. Meanwhile, in another incident, about 21:40 hrs the same day, Clayton Thompson, 42, of Silver City, Wismar, Linden, was walking along the Main Road at Silver City, when he was attacked by two men carrying a handgun and a cutlass. In that attack, the victim was shot and injured on his left hand, by the attackers who took away his jewellery and escaped. Thompson was treated at the Mackenzie Hospital, also in Linden and sent away. In those continuing investigations, three men have been arrested and an unlicensed .38 revolver recovered by the police.

Cocaine-laced sweets were destined for overseas market Crime Chief - two persons on bail as probe continues

By Leroy Smith DEPUTY Commissioner of Police Seelall Persaud Monday said that police hold the view that the cocaine which was in the candy sold recently to the children in Region 1 was intended for an overseas market. Crime Chief Persaud stated that investigators are of the strong view that the cocaine which was intended for an overseas market accidently ended up in that community while en route to its destination. He confirmed that two pe r s ons w ho w e re que s tioned by the police in relation to this matter have been placed on bail, even as investigators continue their search for the persons behind the concealment of the illegal drug in the locally manufactured sweets. The last time this publication spoke to the crime chief in relation to the matter he had indicated that they are following the trail to see at what point the sweets could haven been laced with cocaine. The police are already aware of how the sweets ended up in the shop of the small Amerindian community of White Water in Mabaruma. The shopkeeper purchased the candy from a distributor in the area who reported that he had bought them from another distributor in the city. The Guyana Chronicle has no information on whether any of these three persons are among those who were required to lodge station bail as the investigations continue. This newspaper was reliably informed that the other sweets from the batch number which they represent were also sent to other distributors in Region 10, Georgetown and Berbice for distribution to smaller shops. Since the exposure more than a week ago about the cocaine-laced sweets, there have been no reports from any part of the country about a similar incident. Meanwhile, Edward B Beharry and Company Limited produces sweets in the same type of wrapper that had the cocaine-laced candy. And the registered company has confirmed that the wrapper is indeed theirs. However, the company has been very reluctant so far to speak on the matter and has not issued any public statement in this regard.

GUYANA CHRONICLE Wednesday November 13, 2013

Aries March 21 - April 19

Testy? Cranky? Who, you? Just because the planet in charge of your sign just so happens to be Mars, the ancient god of war? No way. It’s not that you’re irritable. It’s just that ‘the opponents’ -- those of us who happen to inhabit the extra space in your world -- are just so darned uncooperative. Don’t take any guff from these intruders. Put ‘em right in their place.

Taurus April 20 - May 20

There’s something going on. You’re sure of it, and you’re not willing to stand for it any more. You, however, are just calm, cool and collected enough to make all parties involved believe that you’re over it -- or that you never knew to begin with. If they weren’t being so darned sneaky and manipulative, you’d almost have to feel sorry for them. But they are, so don’t -- not even a tiny, little bit.

Gemini May 21 - June 21

You really do want to go out and play and it has (almost) nothing to do with the fact that it’s your day to goof off. What you’re really after is socialising -- but not on a lighthearted level. You’re in the mood for intense, penetrating conversations, late into the night, about the big issues -- politics, religion and education, for example. All the topics that no one would usually dare to bring up at the dinner table. Good luck!

Cancer June 22 - July 22

In public, you’re the very soul of tact, reserve and discretion. Tonight, however, that won’t be the case. If someone happens to ask for your opinion -- even if you’re out on a date with someone you were hoping to impress -- you definitely won’t cut any corners en route to telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Of course, if they stick with you after this, you’ll know you really have something here -- and isn’t that more valuable than a second date because you were ‘nice?’

Leo July 23 - August 22

Ignoring that one particular individual who seems to have a talent for aggravating you won’t be easy. You’ll have to bite your tongue, smile falsely and force yourself to be totally different from the way you are. But why bother? Because you won’t want the scar of a petty argument following your and your companions around for the entire evening. Don’t worry. You can do the right thing without being untrue to yourself or letting them know they’ve gotten to you. Kill them with kindness -- tonight. Call them on it tomorrow.

Virgo August 23 - September 22

Just when you thought it was safe to go out, someone who’s ordinarily the very soul of discretion will suddenly get you started on a topic that’s near and dear to your heart -but far from fit for public consumption. Before you jump down their throats, however, or begin to go off on an innocent bystander, think this over. Could it be that you’re both really displacing far deeper feelings? Say, passion, for example?

Libra September 23 - October 22

You’ve just about had it with a certain person -- the one who seems to be living for nothing else lately than to aggravate you, in any way possible. The bad news -- for them -- is that even though you’ve had quite the week, you’ll catch a second wind this morning, and be more than happy to use it to defend yourself.

Scorpio October 23 - November 21

You are one of the most potentially intimidating signs in the zodiac. Unlike other signs, your retaliation tactics are far more subtle, but just as lethal. Oh, and then there’s the fact that you’ll wait a hundred years, if that’s what it takes. That said, aren’t you glad it’s your time to relax, and time to let bygones be bygones? You know you can find a better way to use up all this passionate energy ....

Sagittarius November 22 - December 21

It’s your time to relax -- and not a moment too soon. You still can’t control yourself when it comes to asking questions, and you’ve still got a lot of questions, especially pertaining to one particular person. Be extra cautious about who you ask for information. Jealousy and resentment could easily be introduced into the mix, and who needs that when you’re just getting started?

Capricorn December 22 - January 19

It’s been a difficult and troubling day, in many ways -- but when it comes to romance, oddly enough, that department seems to be operating independently -- and doing a darned fine job of it, too. Still, there is a stumbling block in the way, and you’re aiming to move it out. A family member or dear friend -- someone who’s usually quite helpful and supportive -- seems to be pushing against you. Check out all the facts before you go off.

Aquarius January 20 - February 18

It seems that the heavens have decided to pass out coupons, redeemable toward a veritable arsenal of verbal weapons. Interestingly enough, the offer is only good for your sign. Needless to say, you should be very careful if you decide to accept the offer -- and even more careful when deciding where and when to put them into use.

Pisces February 19 - March 20

You’re definitely an ‘impulse shopper’ -- no doubt about it. But what you’re usually talked into buying are sentimental things or warm and fuzzy things. Today, however, instead of being captivated by the verbal spell of the salesperson who’ll tell you all about the virtues of a pedigreed puppy or the incredible lifetime warranty that comes along with this particular item that can be handed down from generation to generation, you’ll be far more interested in getting what you want.

a comprehensive 4-1 defeat in the recently completed one-day international series. Momentum is firmly with the Proteas heading into the two-match T20 series after they overcame defeat in the opening ODI to win the remaining four fixtures. The hosts were criticised by captain Misbah-ul-Haq after succumbing to a heavy 117-run loss in the final match, yet Du Plessis insists South

and all-rounder David Wiese are the only three players coming into the Proteas squad who were not included for their success in the 50-over format. With the conditions in the United Arab Emirates expected to be similar to those of Bangladesh, where next year’s ICC World Twenty20 is being held, this week’s opportunities represent an excellent opportunity for South Africa fringe players to make their mark.

Faf Du Plessis is not underestimating Pakistan despite their heavy defeat to South Africa in the one-day international series. Africa cannot afford to rest on their laurels at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium today and Friday. “Pakistan are a dangerous T20 team,” Du Plessis said. “They have a lot of match-winners, that’s what T20 cricket is about. They have the danger-men that can come in and score 80 off a few balls or run in and take four quick wickets. We are going to have to play really well to beat them.” The 29-year-old did concede their success in the 50over format gives South Africa an added boost. “It’s nice for us as a team to go into this series with some momentum behind us,” Du Plessis added. “We understand that it’s a new competition but it always helps going into a tournament with some confidence from beating a side.” Opening batsman Henry Davids, spinner Aaron Phangiso

“The World Cup is going to be in the sub-continent so we will have similar conditions, so we will be playing a team as close to what we will be playing in the World Cup,” Du Plessis said. “We have a core of 15 players and we are still fiddling with combinations. We want to make sure that by the time the World Cup comes we have settled on the best combinations.” Pakistan’s T20 captain Mohammad Hafeez is likely to open the batting in order to give his side some much-needed experience at the top of the order, while Shoaib Malik and Abdul Razzaq are pushing for recalls. The hosts may be slight favourites having won their last five T20 matches. There is no respite for the two sides, however, as they travel to South Africa to play an additional T20 series in Johannesburg next week.

GTU/MoE/Digicel 53rd Annual Athletic Championships

New Amsterdam/Canje’s team manager very optimistic leading up to Nationals By Michael DaSilva

NEW AMSTERDAM/ C a n j e ’s t e a m m a n a g e r, Heathcliff Peters, is very optimistic about his District’s chances of winning the overall title when the 53rd edition of the Guyana Teachers Union/Ministry of Education/Digicel sponsored National Schools Track and Field, Cycling and Swimming championships get underway next Tuesday. Peters said while his swimming team is not as strong as those of District 10 (North Georgetown) and

District 11 (Upper Demerara/ Kwakwani) the swimmers on the team will give a good account of themselves. Once they (swimmers) place highly in that aspect of the championships, he knows they can hold their own in the cycling, track and field, and teachers’ championships, even winning the three and by doing that they can win the overall title. Peters said the problem with the swimming is the fact that the District does not have a resident coach neither does the District have a proper facility for the swimmers to train, much unlike North

Georgetown and even Upper Demerara/Kwakwani. The District 15 team manager said he is very confident in his cycling team which will be led by national cyclist, Marcia Dick, who has ruled the roost locally for quite some time. This will be Dick’s final year competing at the National Schools Championships. Dick last represented Guyana at the Inter-Guiana Games and was very successful. Peters noted that for his District to win overall, each of the four teams (track and field, cycling, swimming, and Teachers) must win their respective championship or place highly. He said the track and field, cycling, and teachers teams are very strong and are hopeful that the swimmers can place high on the points table. He sounded very confident about his cyclists winning the road race which will be held on November 19. Another athlete Peters made mention of is Melissa Byass who will contest the 400, 800 and 1500 metre races in the under-18 age group. Byass represented Guyana at the track and field championship at the recently concluded Inter-Guiana

Games and is presently the national record holder of the under-14 800-metre having set the record in 2009. District 15 placed 6th

overall last year and will be looking to improve on that showing this year. This year’s swimming championship will be held at the Castellani Swimming

Pool, Homestretch Avenue, while the track and field, teachers and cycling championships will be contested at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence.

Sammy wants Windies to gatecrash Tendulkar farewell MUMBAI, India - West Indies captain Darren Sammy said his side can resist the groundswell of sentiments that will accompany the second Test against India, starting on Thursday (tonight East Caribbean Time), and find redemption with a victory. The second Test has been transformed into the great farewell for India’s star batsman Sachin Tendulkar who will be playing an unprecedented 200th and final Test for his homeland on familiar territory at the Wankhede Stadium and the emotions are likely to be high among his fans, hoping for a final glimpse of his mastery. The Windies trail 0-1 in the two-Test series, following an innings and 51-run defeat inside three days in the first Test that ended last Friday at Eden Gardens in the eastern Indian city of Kolkata. But Sammy said his side’s objective was clear - earn a series-leveling victory that

would invariably spoil Tendulkar’s retirement party and prove against the number three ranked Test side in the World that the number six ranked West Indies was a side moving in the upward direction in the World rankings. “We had a couple training sessions over the last few days and they have been going well,” he said. “We have all been working very hard. We are all disappointed about our performance in the previous Test and we all admitted we are a better than side than what we displayed in Kolkata. “It’s about us now putting it right out on the pitch and fighting hard for each other and the people of the Caribbean. We are looking to put a much improved performance in the second Test.” He added: “We have all been in this situation before and we have always bounced back. We have to keep be-

lieving in ourselves and in our ability, and keep mentally focused when we are out on

DARREN SAMMY the field. “When the going gets tough,

we have to just battle things out. . .Trust our technique and be mentally tougher to weather the storms that pop up. Once we can do this and keep playing sensibly, there is no reason why we can’t improve and go on to win this Test here.” West Indies plans were setback over the weekend, when key fast bowler Kemar Roach was ruled out of the remainder of the series with a shoulder injury, but fellow fast bowler Shannon Gabriel arrived on Monday to replace Roach. Sammy said rather than cry over Roach’s absence, it meant that another bowler has the opportunity to shine brightly the Windies and lead the team to a memorable victory. “We will make do with the bowlers that we have here,” he said. “Whatever 11 goes out onto the field must have a positive mindset that they can take 20 wickets against India.” He said his side needed to pay close attention to a pattern that has developed in recent times, where West Indies remove the top half of their opponents’ batting cheaply and fail to knock over the tail in short order. In the first Test, the Windies had India reeling on 156 for six, but Rohit Sharma hit a debut Test hundred and Ravichandran Ashwin collected his second Test hundred against the Caribbean side in a double-hundred, seventh-wicket stand that put the hosts firmly in control. “We have to keep fighting and we have to bowl the same way we have bowled to the top-order batsmen. We should

not relax when the lower part of the batting comes in. We still have got to be disciplined with our lines and lengths and when the opportunities come we have to take them. To be fair, Ashwin and Sharma batted well in the first Test, especially with

SACHIN TENDULKAR Shane bowling well, they battled it out, and when the ball stopped doing a bit, the capitalised. But we need to find a way of finishing off teams.” Apart from Tendulkar, veteran batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul is set to become the first West Indies player to appear in 150 Tests, becoming only the seventh player to achieve the landmark. Chanderpaul, aged 39, made his Test debut 19 years ago on home soil at Bourda Oval in the Guyana capital of Georgetown. He was the 204th player to wear the maroon cap of the Windies and

Sammy said it was an honour to play alongside “Tiger”, as he is universally affectionately known. “He is really ‘the lion’ of this team and has carried our batting for a number of years now,” said Sammy. “He helps out the younger players like Kieran Powell and Darren Bravo and they can take inspiration from a player like him. “The great thing about him is his approach to batting. From the time I have come into the team, his methods of preparation have always been the same. He spends hours batting in the nets. He will be the first one in and usually the last one out - and it shows in the way he goes about his business. “As a young player, if you want to display that mental toughness, Chanderpaul is the perfect role model for that. Hopefully, he will be around the dressing room for a little while longer. He still looks in good physical shape and he is still playing well.” Squads: INDIA (from): Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Ravichandran Ashwin, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Amit Mishra, Pragyan Ojha, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, Rohit Sharma, Sachin Tendulkar, Murali Vijay and Umesh Yadav WEST INDIES (from): Darren Sammy (captain), Tino Best, Darren Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Sheldon Cottrell, Narsingh Deonarine, Kirk Edwards, Shannon Gabriel, Chris Gayle, Veersammy Permaul, Kieron Powell, Denesh Ramdin, Marlon Samuels, Shane Shillingford and Chadwick Walton

MUMBAI, India - Shivnarine Chanderpaul is set to become the first West Indies player to appear in 150 Tests during the second Test against India, starting on Thursday at the Wankhede Stadium here. Chanderpaul, aged 39, made his Test debut 19 years ago on home soil at Bourda Oval in the Guyana capital of Georgetown, becoming the 204th player to wear the maroon cap of the Windies. “Tiger”, as he is universally affectionately known, appears likely to take the milestone in the same stride that he has taken his batting over the years. “It’s not every day that someone gets to play 150 Tests, so it’s a milestone for me, and I am looking forward to it,” said Chanderpaul, following a full training session with his teammates in humid conditions yesterday at the match venue. “I never thought I would get this far in the beginning, but who knows where you can go if you keep persisting.” Chanderpaul, a durable left-handed batsman, will remain seventh on the list of players that have made the most appearances in Tests. Indian star batsman Sachin Tendulkar heads the list of most Test appearances and is set to play his 200th and final match in this Test. The 2008 ICC World Player-ofthe-Year has scored 4,161 runs at an average of 70.52 in 48 Tests since 2007 including 14 hundreds. On the way he has maintained his batting over the years, Chanderpaul said: “It takes a lot of work. You have to put in a lot of work. As an individual, you have to pick yourself up to go to the nets, do a lot of work and practise the way you are going to bat in the game. “There are so many things you have to do - training, keeping the fitness and everything that it takes to get on the SHIVNARINE CHANDERPAUL park and get your work done. And also maintain a standard you think will help you to succeed at the highest level.” On the question of his role in the team, Chanderpaul said: “I know we have had a lot of players in the past who played a lot of shots. But I have also looked at a lot of other players and tried to find a way you can fit in, and a way you can add value to the team. I figured out that might be the best way for me. On his place in the batting order, Chanderpaul said: “I have been batting at five over the years and I think our batting line-up is settled. We have got the two openers - Chris Gayle and Kieran Powell - and we have young Darren Bravo, who has done well batting at No.3. Marlon Samuels has come into bat at No.4 and I have been batting at five for a long time. I think where I am batting is okay, but we just need to bat and bat a little longer.” Chanderpaul enters the Test with 10,897 runs at an average of 51.89 and has collected 28 hundreds and 61 half-centuries. Only fellow left-hander Brian Lara has scored more runs (11,912) for West Indies. “It will be good to get there [past Lara], but it will be a lot of work,” he said. “It’s 1,000 runs and it may not look like much, but it could be a challenge.” Chanderpaul, who captained West Indies in 14 Tests between 2005 and 2006, said not being part of a side that has won Tests regularly has been difficult when he was asked about the most challenging moment of his career. “But we have started turning some corners. We have started to move back up the rankings. All we need is to just keep fighting,” he said.

PETRA ORGANIZATION/COURTS PEE-WEE…

CEO Sam and Hassan shower praise on duo By Calvin Roberts

“THIS is the essence of what education should be like for our young people in this country….use this talent that these young people have exhibited to make them into wonderful student/athletes, ensuring you can transfer this enthusiasm into their school work.” Those were the words of Chief Education Officer (CEO) within the Ministry of Education, Olata Sam, who was at the time delivering some brief remarks at the closing ceremony of this year’s Petra Organization / Courts Pee-Wee Under-11 football championships at the Banks DIH, Thirst Park

Mohammed Enterprise outfit P.E Teachers and Coaches for K&S Seminar TEACHERS and Physical Education Instructors who will be executing the duties of coach when the inaugural Kashif and Shangai Organization/Chico Sweets Under-17 Football Extravaganza kicks off on 8th December, will be undergoing a two-day seminar commencing from today. This seminar, which will focus on subject matters such as ‘Motor Skills, Development in Young Players’, ‘Developments of Principles of Defense,’ and ‘Developments of Principles of Attack’ will be facilitated by former Technical Director of the Guyana Football Federation, Jamaal Shabazz, with amicable assistance from a pool of qualified coaches, including Ivan Persaud and Wayne ‘Wiggy’ Dover. Yesterday afternoon at a simple presentation ceremony, co-director of the K&S Organization Kashif Muhammad presented on behalf of Mohammed Enterprise uniforms which will be used by the coaches and teachers during the sessions which will be held at the Ministry of Education ground. According to Muhammad, Nazar Mohammed has been supporting the K&S Organization for the past 23 years and has never found it tough to decline any request for support to the Organization’s previous tournaments. “This time around, not only has Mohammed’s Enterprise come forward and given their support with the two sets of uniforms, but they have agreed to offset the expenses we will incur for the provision of meals for the participants,” said Muhammad. Shabazz thanked the sponsor for the timely donation,

Personally, I always believe in uniformity and for a seminar for school teachers is not different because the discipline starts with our appearance and our own approach to the game,” said Shabazz. All 24 of the schools that were invited to the K&S/ Chico Under-17 Schools Football Extravaganza, will be represented at the seminar, while the Ministry of

Education requested and the K&S Organization acceded to have an additional 16 more teachers in the field of Physical Education participate, taking the total number to 40 participants. The inaugural tournament which kicks off on December 8th and culminates on January 1st at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, will see players from Wismar/Christianburg Secondary (who won the Digicel sponsored tournament again this year), Waramadong, Covent Garden, St George’s, Leonora, Bladen Hall, Ash Educational Trust and Lodge Secondary competing. Other invited schools who will be battling for the top prize of $1.2M are Wisburg, New Silvercity and Mackenzie High, East Ruimveldt, North Georgetown, Queen’s College, Dolphin, Christ Church, Queenstown, Stewartville, Uitvlugt, Patentia, President’s College, Ann’s Grove, Annandale Secondary and Friendship Secondary.

ground last Saturday. D u r i n g h i s re m a r k s , Sam took the time to shower praise on Co-Directors of the Petra Organization in Troy Mendonca and Marlon Cole, sentiments that were later echoed by Marketing Director of Courts (Guyana) Incorporated, Molly Hassan. According to Sam, the work that is being done at this level by the duo must be commended, as they are not only providing a means of recreation for the students, but also grooming young cubs for Guyana’s Golden Jaguars. The CEO said he is hoping

Corporate Guyana can host another tournament of the same kind in the next term, so that the players who competed in the just concluded tournament can hone their skills. “I am committing to working with the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) and anybody else to make this possible. Maybe in March, April or May, we can have another competition maybe on this scale or something smaller, so that these young people can be able to train and practice so that we know amongst them are the next national player who will put

Guyana on the international stage. Kudos to the two fine gentlemen from the Petra Organization, whose brainchild it was to organize a tournament of this nature, since we know that in the years to come we would have groomed them from small for bigger things. They have done a wonderful job and I must say thanks to them. “Courts is extremely proud to be a part of this tournament this year and also we are proud of the work that was done by both Marlon Cole and Troy Mendonca, who did so tirelessly to make this tournament a success. We have invested $3M into this tournament this year and looking at how the tournament was organized and executed, I can safely say that it was money well spent and we will continue to make this tournament a success story next year, thanks to the parents, students, players, teachers, media and most importantly, the two fine gentlemen,” stated Hassan. On behalf of Petra Organization, a humble looking Mendonca said heartfelt thanks to Sam and the Ministry, Hassan and Courts, Banks DIH, teachers, students, parents and even the fans who turned out in their numbers to show their support to the tournament, making it a success.
