PPP salutes our Amerindian brothers and sisters THE People's Progressive Party (PPP) salutes our Amerindian brothers and sisters on the occasion of Amerindian Heritage Month. This is indeed a good time to reflect on the contributions made by our Amerindian peoples in the development of a strong and prosperous Guyana and also on the long and difficult road they have traversed over the several decades.

According to our historians, Amerindians were the first people who inhabited this beautiful land of ours.

Attempts by the colonial powers to enslave them failed and they refused to be pawns for the capture of runaway slaves who sought to escape the brutality of plantation existence.

It is an established fact that historically our Amerindian peoples were neglected by the colonial administra-

tion. That trend continued under the previous PNC administration, which not only treated Amerindians as second-class citizens but denied them their basic and fundamental rights through rigged village elections and denied them access to proper health, education and recreational facilities.

The PPP is proud of the contributions made by our indigenous peoples and the fortitude and endurance they displayed in the face of the myriad challenges they experienced in the face of an uncaring PNC regime, which for nearly three decades relegated them to the back burner in terms of national development.

It took the return of the PPP/C government to restore the pride and dignity of our Amerindinian and hinterland peoples by way of a multiplicity of policy interventions, which in-

cluded the establishment of a Ministry of Amerindian Affairs, the re-enactment of the Amerindian Act, giving more rights to Amerindians to manage their own affairs and the granting of titles to Amerindian lands. In addition, through the Presidential Grants introduced by the PPP/C administration, Amerindian villages benefited from government subventions which are utilised by Amerindians for community projects.

The PPP is pleased with the fact that our Amerindian peoples are today much more empowered, thanks to priority attention given by the PPP/C government in the areas of education, health and water, which cumulatively have impacted on an enhanced quality of life of our Amerindian peoples. It is not accidental that Amerindians constitute the fastest- growing segment of

the population, due primarily to better vector control programmes and a robust immunization programme for children among the several other interventions.

The PPP is aware of the several challenges still faced in hinterland communities, but remains optimistic that under the present PPP/C Government, Amerindians will take their rightful place as the architects of their own development. Already there are hopeful indications in the increasing number of Amer-

indian children who graduate from tertiary institutions, both locally and overseas, in a variety of fields including medicine, engineering, management and agronomy. The trained teacher/student ratio has improved significantly and the entire education infrastructure overhauled, thereby providing for much greater accessibility to quality primary and secondary education. The same is true for the delivery of health care due to more doctors and nurses who now service

the hinterland areas and the construction of new health care facilities in those communities.

The PPP takes this opportunity to thank the Amerindian peoples for the support they have given to the party over the decades and looks forward to their continued support. The PPP has always been a friend of the Amerindian peoples and will continue to champion their cause.

Once again, congratulations to our Amerindian peoples.

GRA soon to occupy railway embankment parking facility - over 400 parking lots made available for staff and members of the public

THE Commissioner-General of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA), Mr. Khurshid Sattaur yesterday disclosed that the organisation will shortly occupy the portion of the railway embankment designated for parking by GRA staff and members of the public who would be willing to walk over two blocks to conduct business at the GRA. According to a GRA press statement, the development of the area was delayed from being completed due to inclement weather, and incredulous systematic criticism being leveled against the company which as a civic duty, willingly engaged in the works to have in excess of 400 parking lots made available to the GRA staffers and the public.

To further ease the traffic congestion in the vicinity of the GRA, Mr. Sattaur said that the organisation also plans to make available the location adjacent to St. Margaret's Primary School, which is currently being used for parking by staff, to persons conducting business with the revenue authority for a small fee.

He expressed the hope that taxpayers would take advantage of the initiative to ease their parking woes. “I am very optimistic that this new development will resolve the very unsatisfactory state of affairs encountered every day and which is becoming even more aggravating as new businesses sprout up every day around the location,� the Commissioner-General said.

PAYMENT OPTIONS PROVIDED While the GRA is keen on providing parking for staff and customers, the organisation is encouraging taxpayers to take advantage of the internet and other payment options that have been provided through partnership with Demerara Bank Limited, Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry, Republic Bank (telebanker), Bill Express and Mobile Money Guyana to pay taxes and purchase motor vehicle licences, as this would further ease congestion at the GRA and in the Camp Street area.

To date a number of taxpayers have been using the payment options provided and the numbers are increasing weekly. However it is hoped that the rate of increase will be even more rapid. Taxpayers may call the GRA hotline on telephone number 227-6060 for more information, view our YouTube channel or visit our website www.gra.gov.gy, the statement concluded.

IFC closes landmark $185M financing package for Guyana Goldfields THE International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, has completed a $185 million financing package for the construction and development of Guyana Goldfield’s Aurora gold mine, located 170 kilometers west of Georgetown.

The project is expected to become one of the largest contributors to Guyana’s tax base and generate up to 900 jobs during peak construction. Since becoming a shareholder in the company in 2006, IFC has helped Guyana Goldfields establish an integrated environmental, health, safety, and social management system in line with international best practices.

The financing package consists of a $45 million loan from IFC’s account and a $33.6 million loan from IFC’s Managed Co-Lending Portfolio Programme, a new syndications platform that offers institutional investors the ability to passively participate in IFC’s future senior loan portfolio.

In addition, IFC coordinated $106.4 million in loans from Export Development Canada, Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation, ING Capital LLC, and the Bank of Nova Scotia.

“IFC has been a strong partner to Guyana Goldfields for the last eight years. Their financing and global experience on environmental and social management has been invaluable as our project has evolved. This financing package demonstrates their strong commitment to the project’s sustainable development and to

Guyana,” said Scott A. Caldwell, President & CEO of Guyana Goldfields.

Through its early equity programme, IFC supports early stage exploration mining projects, such as the Aurora mine, that have the potential to bring significant positive economic impacts to local communities and the wider population in developing countries.

“Guyana Goldfields will be one of the first project financings in Guyana, setting a precedent and positive example for investors across sectors,” said Jean Philippe Prosper, IFC Vice President for Latin America and the Caribbean and Sub-Saharan Africa. “We are excited to demonstrate that with strong partners and the patience of long-term investors we can help bring tangible benefits to the Guyanese people."

The Government of Guyana is actively promoting the development of commercial mining projects, such as Aurora, that follow international standards for safety and environmental and social management. IFC is currently working with the company and its contractors on a strategy to continue and enhance its sourcing of supplies and services from local companies.

Education Ministry gearing up to disburse $10,000 cash grant per student in public schools THE Ministry of Education upon completion of a number of public consultations held throughout the country with parents and guardians of children in the public school system, on the $10,000 per student grant, is nearing the end of a lengthy but transparent verification process. Over the last two months, head teachers from across the country met with their respective regional education officers to verify the number of students currently enrolled in their respective schools, and that are on the schools’ registers.

According to the Deputy Chief Education Officer (Administration), Ms. Donna Chapman, the process is moving along smoothly as the Ministry now awaits the final lists of names of children currently beginning Year 1 (Nursery), Grade 1 (Primary) and Grade 7 (Secondary). These lists, she expects, will be submitted within the coming week to her office and that of the

Permanent Secretary of the MOE, so as to facilitate the completion of the master list of students eligible to receive the $10,000 cash grant per student.

The Ministry is urging parents and guardians to register their children immediately so that the final verification process can be com-

pleted.

With the administrative processes currently running on schedule, the Ministry is set to commence disbursement of the cash grant by Monday October 6, 2014. Feedback from the public consultations held countrywide suggested that the preferred method chosen by parents to receive this cash grant on behalf of their children was by way of money transfer services.

The MOE will be providing further updates through the press informing parents and guardians of the date, place and time when they will be able to collect the cash grant on behalf of their children.

The Ministry of Education wishes to advise the public that anyone found to be engaging in any form of malpractice, fraudulent or corrupt activity regarding the disbursement of this $10,000 per child cash grant will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law!

Too much focus on ‘average’ students …radio station boss says Jamaica’s education system neglecting gifted children

(Jamaica Observer) GENERAL Manager of FYAH 105 Fm, Ronald Sutherland, is calling for greater focus to be placed on students with superior learning capabilities as many of them are being left behind because of what he said is an education system that caters primarily to the average student.

Sutherland, a former teacher, said it is time Jamaica shifts from its culture of mediocrity and put in place systems to develop and enhance the capabilities of students who are considered “gifted.”

“In an average world where I put in [1] and I take out one, I don’t make the

world advance any further, as I ...take out the same amount [I put in] and it is only the excellent people, the genius-

es, they put in 10 and take out one, or 100 and take out 10. That is what advances a society, and it is very im-

portant that you have programmes that facilitate the development of excellence,” reasoned Sutherland, as he addressed a meeting of the Rotary Club of Kingston East and Port Royal on Monday night at Eden Gardens in St Andrew.

Sutherland said that too much effort is being made to assist students who are weak, while the ones who are excellent are being neglected.

“Every single effort that could be made to support the weakest kids in the schools are made and so we have this thing called a remedial class,” he said.

“We tend to focus on the weaker ones, and I don’t know of any school that

thinks about the gifted and, for the most part, people believe that it is a risk that we can run because since they are bright they will get by anyway; but that is absolutely not true,” Sutherland added.

He further argued that not only is the system lacking in terms of making provisions for geniuses, but that the society, on a whole, is very hostile to excellence.

“I have seen kids at schools that I’ve taught... where the kid is very bright and pretends to be dunce, because they want to fit in,” said Sutherland. “The dominant culture is one of mediocrity, and it is worse that these schools have elements

of violence in them.”

Sutherland said that, contrary to popular belief that students of varying learning abilities should be “mixed together” as the brighter one helps to improve the learning capacity of the weaker ones, he believes excellent students should be separated from the weaker ones and placed in environments where they can be challenged intellectually.

He also stressed the importance of having highly motivated and “bright” teachers working with those students, saying there are too many “average” teachers in the system who are not very motivated and are, therefore, of no benefit to the “bright students.”

Teachers, principals must work in safety …TTUTA president: We won’t allow disciplinary action...

(Trinidad Express) TRINIDAD and Tobago Unified Teachers’ Association (TTUTA) president Devanand Sinanan has urged principals and teachers to refrain from working under “conditions which are less than ideal” as eight

schools remained closed yesterday at the start of the new term.

Sinanan also said he was not pleased with the “threatening tone of the circular (from the Ministry of Education) which said principals must ensure all

schools are opened.”

In a telephone interview yesterday, Sinanan said: “We have eight schools that did not open—six in Trinidad and two in Tobago. We were getting conflicting reports so we want to go with what we knew about. We

and the school needed to be cleaned, said Sinanan.

Despite the opening of the majority of schools, Sinanan said teachers and principals have a responsibility to ensure their charges are safe and they are working in a safe environment.

“In many instances, principals and teachers are trying to work under conditions that are less than ideal.

We got reports that teachers are not altogether happy with what was done or not done during the vacation period. We are reminding principals, they have a responsibility to ensure the schools are up to a certain standard,” he said.

“The teaching and learning process is most effective under situations where there is no threat to the health and safety of teachers. Health and safety issues must take priority, and priority must

be given to addressing those issues.”

Sinanan gave teachers the assurance TTUTA would represent and even head to the courts if necessary.

“We will not sit idly by and allow the authorities to take disciplinary action against principals and teachers who take that responsibility seriously.

We applaud principals and teachers who ensure their schools are safe and classes are being conducted in an atmosphere that is devoid of any threats.

“We call upon the authorities and all other stakeholders, including parents, to work with the school authorities to ensure the plant is up to health and safety standards, as defined by the Occupational Health and Safety (OSH) Act.”

Guinea detects Ebola in new region as U.S. warns outbreak out of control (L-R) World Health Organisation (WHO) Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan, Senior United Nations System Coordinator for Ebola Virus Disease Dr. David Nabarro, and Assistant WHO Director-General for Health Security Dr. Keiji Fukuda appear at a briefing to discuss the Ebola outbreak in West Africa at the UN Foundation in Washington September 3, 2014 (Credit: Reuters/Gary Cameron)

(Reuters) – GUINEA’S government said on Wednesday that Ebola had spread to a previously unaffected region of the country, as U.S. experts warned that the worst ever outbreak of the deadly virus

was spiraling out of control in West Africa.

Guinea, the first country to detect the hemorrhagic fever in March, had said it was containing the outbreak but authorities announced that nine new cases had been

found in the southeastern prefecture of Kerouane.

The area, some 750 km (470 miles) southeast of the capital Conakry, lies close to where the virus was first detected deep in Guinea’s

forest region. The epidemic has since spread to four other West African countries and killed more than 1,500 people.

“There has been a new outbreak in Kerouane but we have sent in a team to contain it,” said Aboubacar Sikidi Diakité, head of Guinea’s Ebola task force. He insisted the outbreak was being contained.

The nine confirmed cases were in the town of Damaro in the Kerouane region, with a total of 18 people under observation, the health ministry said in a statement.

The latest outbreak started after the arrival of an infected person from neighboring Liberia, the ministry said. Guinea has recorded a total of 489 deaths and 749

Ebola cases as of Sept. 1.

President Alpha Conde urged health personnel to step up their efforts to avoid new infections.

“Even for a simple malaria, you have to protect yourselves before consulting any sick person until the end of this epidemic,” Conde said in a televised broadcast.

“We had started to succeed but you dropped the ball and here we go again.”

Cases of Ebola have been reported in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Nigeria, Senegal and Democratic Republic of Congo. The cases in Congo, which include 31 deaths, are a separate outbreak unrelated to the West African cases, however, the World Health Organization has said.

In a stark analysis last week, the WHO warned that the Ebola epidemic in West Africa could infect more than 20,000 people and spread to 10 countries.

It outlined a $490 million roadmap for tackling the epidemic.

Doctor Tom Kenyon, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) Centre for Global Health, said on Wednesday the outbreak was “spiraling out of control” and he warned that the window of opportunity for controlling it was closing.

“Guinea did show that with action, they brought it partially under control. But unfortunately it is back on the increase now,” he told a conference call. “It’s not under control anywhere.”

Obama says will ‘degrade and destroy’ Islamic State

(Reuters) - THE United States plans to fight Islamic State until it is no longer a force in the Middle East and will seek justice for the killing of American journalist Steven Sotloff, President Barack Obama said on Wednesday.

He added that destroying the militant group will take time because of the power vacuum in Syria, the abundance of battle-hardened fighters that grew out of al Qaeda during the Iraq war, and the need to build coalitions, including with local Sunni communities.

Islamic State released a video on Tuesday showing the beheading of the U.S. journalist, the second American hostage to be killed within weeks, in retaliation for U.S. air strikes in Iraq.

“The bottom line is this, our objective is clear and that

is to degrade and destroy (Islamic State) so that it’s no longer a threat not just to Iraq but also the region and to the United States,” Obama told a

news conference.

“Whatever these murderers think they will achieve with killing innocent Americans like Steven, they have already failed,” Obama said. “They failed because, like people around the world, Americans are repulsed by their barbarism. We will not be intimidated.”

U.S and British officials both examined the video, showing the same British-accented executioner who appeared in an Aug. 19 video of the killing of U.S. journalist James Foley, concluding it was authentic.

The United States resumed air strikes in Iraq in August for the first time since the pullout of U.S. troops in 2011, and Obama said the strikes are already proving effective.

“Those that make the mis-

take of harming Americans will learn that we will not forget and that our reach is long and that justice will be served,” said Obama, who authorised the strike in Pakistan that killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden 10 years after the Sept.

11, 2001, attacks on the United States.

At home, top Obama administration officials punctu-

ated Obama’s warnings to the Islamic State.

“They should know we will follow them to the gates of hell until they are brought to justice. Because hell is where they will reside, hell is where they will reside,” Vice President Joe Biden said during an appearance in New Hampshire.

In Washington, Secretary

of State John Kerry called Sotloff’s execution a “punch to the gut” and said the United States has used every military, diplomatic and intelligence tool it has to free hostages in Syria.

Kerry said Sotloff was “brutally taken from us in an act of medieval savagery by a coward hiding behind a mask.”

GUYANA

Clean-up initiative needs to be sustained GOVERNMENT has been working in collaborative efforts with the private sector to create joint venture initiatives in restructuring policies and programmes geared toward the re-introduction of the high standards of yesteryear that were once an integral part of the Guyanese consciousness.

As our national poet, Martin Carter wrote. “All are involved, all are consumed” - and consumed we will be if we do not, with alacrity, find a common ground where all the forces in this country work together toward the

common goal of building this country of ours into a cohesive unit striving toward national prosperity.

A case in point is our capital city of Georgetown.

In 1994 a civil society group comprising Bish Panday, Tony Xavier (then representing the Fernandes Group of Companies), Beni Sankar, Bert Carter, Sheila George, Leila Ramson, Rocky Mann, Fitz Edwards, Andy Moore, amongst others, formed the Interim Management Committee (IMC), with Dr. James Rose

as Chairman. Within a short duration Georgetown was transformed into, if not a pristine city, at least a city from which the garbage had been cleared and systems implemented for the smooth functioning of the Council.

That is, a Council that was prepared to work with commitment and honesty.

However, that proved to be a pipe dream, because the city, left again in the hands of the Georgetown City Council, has once more become a massive dumpsite reeking of filth and decay,

despite periodic injections of substantial subventions from Central Government, along with huge revenues collected through normal channels. Consistent revelations of misconduct anent the financial arrangements of the Council exposed the circuitry and conduits by way of which the money was siphoned away from works in the city into areas for which it was not intended – areas from which the city cannot benefit.

The IMC had assumed responsibility of the city with an overdraft of $38 million.

When it disbanded the City had a credit of $6 million.

Mr. Hamilton Green became Mayor of Georgetown and the rest is history.

There is need for another interim management committee comprising dynamic figures as those in the IMC of yesteryear to co-ordinate the Herculean task of restoring this city

once more to some semblance of its former glory days.

This latest initiative of Government to involve communities in the environmental clean-up exercises is a step in the right direction; now there should be a programme to ensure sustainability; and an educational component, beginning in homes and schools, whereby the training begins and is developed.

Christopher Ram’s positions A shameful display of hooliganism are politically driven THIS letter pertains to Christopher Ram’s response to the Guyana Forestry Commission’s (GFC) Corporate Secretary Jacy Archibald’s open letter to Bulkan, Palmer, Ram, TIGI, et al.

Christopher Ram, in his letter to Kaieteur News (KN), is denying that he used the word “discrepancies” in his misleading comments on the GFC’s 2005-2012 Annual reports (KN 1st Sept 2014). If Ram is denying that he used “discrepancies” then he should refer to KN Sunday 24th August 2014. He should therefore say that it is KN which misquoted him and let KN know and not keep denying.

Can Ram say if he is reading his articles or not reading his articles?

Why is Ram side-tracking the fact that he questioned the Auditor General’s qualified opinion of the GFC’s audited financial statements presented to Parliament? Did he read or did not read his own column, also the National Forest Plan and National Policy before making erroneous and misleading statements? In relation to the huge fluctuations of the GFC’s income and expenses did Ram say, or did not say what is the problem with this? Did he say or say not that he, Bulkan and Palmer are fused with the political opposition to mischievously mislead the public?

Ram, Bulkan and Palmer did not say anything when the illegal PNC Government did not submit Public Accounts for over 10 years. Why are Ram, Bulkan and Palmer not writing about this? They are engaged only in selective and deceptive reporting, which shows their anti-Government agenda. Do you agree or disagree, Mr. Ram? On another issue, President Donald Ramotar is calling on David Granger, leader of the PNC to “bring back the guns” that the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) loaned to the PNC (Chronicle Fri Aug 30, 2014). But Christopher Ram seems to be defending Granger when he said that “the President’s comments about Granger were distasteful and inappropriate” (KN Sun Aug, 2014): Do you agree Mr. Ram? Further, I think that Phillip Bynoe should challenge Ram to a public debate.

PETER PERSAUD

THE PNC had their biennial congress in August last and what a “great spectacle” that was, a bunch of bullies all jostling as to who was the bigger and better bully. At the end of the day Granger and his team came out on top.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and sure it did, because what unfolded before my very eyes was nothing short of that sordid picture of a bunch of PNC hooligans going about their business with enthusiasm. I was present at the Sophia hideout, so no one can question the validity of my report.

The whole saga began when Aubrey Norton - a discarded member, came down from Linden with his entourage with a threat to hijack the PNC’s rigging machinery. This “mini-bully” (if I should coin a new word) was testing the PNC’s rigging process with a raucous group of foul-mouthed, yard fowl bunch. They tried to get into the hall where they would have stuffed the ballot boxes so as to get their guy into office. However, the Granger group, which had prior knowledge of this scheme, was well-prepared

for them. Granger’s faction counter-punched with a “lock everyone of them out” order from the grand bully. So there you have it - Norton and team outfoxed at a rigging game they are all too familiar with. Even when they tried to force their way in they were met with stout resistance. There was a backup gunman planted in the Granger camp to see to it that the Linden party was kept out, because they were not going to allow the Region 10 group to have its way. He fired two shots into the air when they tried to overpower security. The stark reality was that Linden had no vote and Granger and team went away fully satisfied that rigging by force pays off.

There are a few points I would like to forcibly bring to the public’s attention: 1. The Linden posse demonstrated to the world what they really are, which is a group of uncouth, out –of- control individuals with a penchant for rank hooliganism. This is something that was evident in the Linden uprising when they were asked to make a little contribution to the national coffers for their electricity

consumption. They responded with days of looting and burning with cases of grave vandalism to public property. They even fired at the police who were there to maintain law and order. This is the Linden we know, and a people who Granger stoutly defended when the Linden CoI was commissioned: So why cry foul now when the very Lindeners came to their own PNC Congress to assert “their rights?”

2. Secondly, the Granger team must also hang their heads in shame for rigging their own election. Are these the same individuals who denied that rigging ever oc-

curred, far less something that should be mentioned among themselves? The fact of the matter is that rigging is alive and well within the PNC. 3. Norton has been sucker-punched for the third time in a row, first

by Hoyte, then Corbin, and the latest Granger: certainly it is time for him to call it quits.

4. A house divided cannot and will not stand - the violence, the rigging, that so epitomizes the PNC/APNU. It is such a vital part of their

Lengthy blackouts in Essequibo

THE Guyana Power & Light Inc (GPL) has been dealing Essequibians daily, lengthy blackouts since last week.

On Sunday, the area was without power all day well into the very late of night. The blackouts continued for several hours on Monday and Tuesday night from 19:00 hrs to around 22:00 hrs.

There has been no word from the power company as to the reasons for these outages. Perhaps they can shed some light on what is really going on.

It is because of my genuine respect for Mr. Neil Kumar, a gentleman with whom I grew up, and whom I have known for more than 40 years that I feel I must reply to the hogwash that was written in the Kaieteur News Sports pages under the caption, “Sport View by Freddie Kissoon” (Sic; first of all I am reliably informed that the substantive sports editor is on leave, So “effluence man” was able to write his filthy article.

Bai Shan Lin contributes to Guyanese society in multiplicity of ways BAI SHAN LIN International Forest Development Inc. has issued several responses regarding concerns that have been recently raised in the media about the company’s operations.

On August 13, a detailed press release was sent out by the company, outlining its operations and the various activities that have been undertaken since the company came to Guyana in 2007. This statement was carried by at least three of the four daily newspapers and several online and television news services. Since that time, the company has responded on multiple occasions with additional press releases, full page advertisements and television commercials. As recent as August 31, the company dispatched an update to the media on its collaborative work with Region Ten loggers on road repairs in Kwakwani. The Company’s Chairman, Chu Wenze, in that letter also reiterated Bai Shan Lin’s commitment to logging communities and to Guyana.

It is also noteworthy that the media outlet that has led the reports questioning the company’s operations has neglected to carry many of our press statements, such as the one issued on August 31, outlining the ongoing roadwork in Kwakwani of which Bai Shan Lin is playing an integral role. The company has therefore found it even more necessary to highlight such information by way of paid full page advertisements and television commercials.

Bai Shan Lin recognises it has a responsibility to the Guyanese people at large, and believes it has an even greater responsibility to those who live in the communities in which it operates. As such, Bai Shan Lin, at the highest level of management, has been meeting with members of the various Region 10 Logging Associations and the newly constituted Linden Kwakwani Road Users Association over the last several weeks. These meetings have been extremely productive and have helped to craft new ways in which the company can further assist in community development.

Bai Shan Lin would like to restate that all of its operations are in keeping with the regulations of the forestry sector and laws of Guyana and the company looks forward to making further investments in the country that would help to create even more jobs and contribute to the Guyanese economy.

Let me make it crystal clear that Neil Kumar is absolutely right. It is universally accepted that everyone, before entering a public swimming pool, must have a shower. We have known from our days at the university that students in the political class always detested being in the same lecture room because of his high body odour and his foul breath. So I can see why he would have objections to showering before entering the pool. It is quite likely that the man has objections about showering in general.

Freddie Kissoon made reference to lifeguards. Mr. Kumar was instrumental in bringing a professional lifeguard from Canada to Guyana. Let it be known that it is under the astute leadership of Mr. Kumar that last year, for the first time, six Guyanese were certified as international lifeguards, while a few others were certified at a lower level.

Let me make it clear that the Sports Hall was never used as an abattoir.

Further, I have genuine familial feelings for Mr.

Kumar and his family. This goat issue was raised in Parliament and it was crystal clear that at no time was any goat slaughtered at the Sports Hall. In addition, it is inexcusably offensive when this little troll of a man made reference to Mr. Kumar ’s son. Now, Mr. Kissoon, maybe jealousy led you to take offence at Mr. Kumar having sons, I will never know. However, your perceived deficiencies should not be the basis of your criticism of those better than you.

I am fully aware that the press printed a block letter apology to Mr. Kumar, clearly stating that Kumar never said that the ABC countries are Argentina, Brazil and Chile.

Freddie developed a hatred for Kumar because my friend Kumar refused to do his Politics as a subject at the University of Guyana.

Kumar did SOC-100 with Professor Ken Danns. Kumar simply said on campus that he would not waste time doing “Poll” with Kissoon because Mr. Kumar knows more politics than “Stinkie Freddie”. Freddie Kissoon is a self-confessed thief, and

he cannot now deny that he stole from the Michael Forde bookshop. He must tell us about the big coat session in Canada; and further, he must tell us what took place with him on the beach in Grenada.

Kissoon, you tried to malign and made derogatory remarks about the great Mahatma Gandhi: Your recent inane attempts to ridicule our eminent Muslim brother, Fazal Feroze from the CIOG, is further proof of your invidious nature.

Freddie Kissoon, you can never come close to being a person or a journalist like Neil Kumar. Kumar has always displayed great passion and integrity in his quest to help make a better Guyana for ALL Guyanese.

You, on the other hand, seem to revel in making enemies with vindictive and blatant lies. If spreading lies and hatred are the things that bring you happiness, then I suggest you seek professional help.

Put an end to these unjustifiably spiteful attacks against good people. I am making a direct appeal to the miniscule remnants of your humanity and journalistic Integrity. Adam Harris, stop the nonsense.

BASHUR KHAN And Friends

A shameful display of ...

(From Page 6) DNA that even among their own kind they cannot control themselves.

Are these the people who want to rule over us? Are they serious?

Finally, the PNC made a lame effort at mitigating their pathetic circumstances with statements that the PPP was to be blamed for their vulgar display last congress. Before I even try to figure out their mess I would like Norton and Granger to sober up to the fact that nothing close to such wanton lawlessness ever occurred within the ranks of the PPP. The PPP/C is a party of dignity and decorum. I have never witnessed rigging, nor have I seen any gun play at a PPP Congress. Rigging, gun play, violence of all sorts are synonymous

terminologies when you look at the PNC. Ironically, when they were locked in a cesspool of lawlessness, the PPP were happily engaged in a fun day at Freedom House.

What the PNC/APNU grouping needs to do is consider how ready they are for an election after that shameful display.

Following high speed chase…

Police constable shot by fellow rank

By Leroy Smith THE Guyana Police Force is investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting of police Constable Leroy English by another police constable whose name was given as Jeffers.

The Guyana Chronicle was informed that the drama began on the West Bank of Demerara when a strange car, PSS 1724, passed the vehicle of a senior police officer and crossed the Demerara Harbour Bridge.

Incidentally the car in which the senior officer was travelling pulled into the corner shortly before the strange car sped past and two other vehicles with police ranks inside who were aware that the senior police was ahead of them did not see his vehicle.

They thought the strange car had caused the vehicle with the senior rank inside to run off the road.

Incidentally also the rank who was shot is not familiar with the ranks who were in the other vehicle but everyone was familiar with the senior police officer. They began giving chase after the strange vehicle which attempted to cross the Demerara Harbour Bridge.

While the car with constable Jeffers and some rural constables continued racing across the DHB behind the strange car, Constable English stopped at the west end

tance. This newspaper was told that when English was shot he threw his hands up along with his identification card and gun but shots were still being fired.

He was then taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was rushed into the Operation Theatre and up to late yesterday was still hospitalized.

Crime Chief Leslie James yesterday told the Chronicle

used to fire the shots that hit English.

This newspaper was, however, able to confirm that the weapon which shot English was the one being carried by Jeffers who opened fire after suspecting him to be a bandit.

of the bridge, identified himself and instructed the guards there to close off the eastern end of the bridge.

English then proceeded to the eastern side of the bridge where he saw the two vehicles. However, still not being familiar with the occupants of the strange vehicle he went up to the heavily tinted vehicle, took out his identification badge and attempted to show it to the occupants of the white vehicle.

This publication later learnt that the strange vehicle was being driven by the son of a businessman and the driver after failing to lower the windows, drove through the cordon at the DHB. The chase continued with the vehicle that Constable Jeffers and the rural constables

were in while Constable English who was the lone occupant in his vehicle re-entered his car and followed the two.

According to information, by the time he reached the entrance to the DHB where the traffic lights are situated he noticed that the two vehicles were heading north along the East Bank Demerara roadway at a fast rate and he followed.

This publication was told that during the chase the vehicle in which the businessman’s son was travelling turned back and headed south along the East Bank and upon noticing that, English exited his vehicle. It would appear that as the occupants of the businessman’s vehicle saw English who had earlier approached them at the DHB the vehicle stopped and the

occupants exited while those in Jeffers’ vehicle also came out.

The Guyana Chronicle was told that when the occupants from the vehicle in which the businessman’s son was travelling exited, one of them was seen holding a .38 revolver while the other had a pistol in his possession. It was at that time that everyone began identifying themselves as policemen.

Then shots were discharged as voices were heard shouting ‘cease fire you are shooting at a police’. However the shooting continued and English attempted to run to safety. It was then that he was shot to the arm and again to the foot which rendered him immobile and Constable Jeffers rushed to his assis-

Brickdam Secondary gets backpacks, supplies from alumni body

By Savitri Laikram THE New York Chapter of the Brickdam Secondary Alumni Association Inc. yesterday donated US$5,000 in backpacks and school supplies to the school yesterday.

President of the association, Mr. Winston James in an interview with the Guyana Chronicle said that for the past three years, the alumni committee based in the United States has taken it upon themselves to volunteer for book drives, etc. to raise funds for the improvement of the school’s students.

He said that each student from second to fifth form will receive backpacks, while first formers will receive school supplies such as pens, pencils, glue,

etc.

James explained that there was a mix-up of dates which resulted in the students receiving their backpacks and supplies a few days late.

He noted that the association is widely advertised via social media and is always willing to assist students with whatever they may need.

He said that the headquarters which is based in Brooklyn, NY has been making an annual effort to assist in the drives and fundraising activities.

Addressing the students, he urged them to study hard and focus solely on achieving the goal of having a proper education.

James also encouraged the students to contact the association via Facebook

President of the Brickdam Secondary Alumni Association (NY Chapter) Mr Winston James hands over backpacks to students

and to feel free to state their needs to members.

Children expressed their joy at receiving the items, many of whom individually

thanked Mr. James for the generous donation.

Students who spoke to this publication said that the event is something they

have begun to look forward to as it is of great help to them and their parents.

They noted that although some may see this

as a simple donation, it is of great assistance because not everyone can afford a new bag or new school supplies every term.

Old Kai: Chronicles of Guyana‌

Opposition’s sustained attacks against Amerindian development - should take centre stage during the observation of Heritage Month

OLD Kai would like to see more emphasis during Amerindian heritage month on everything that was done over the past three years to undermine the continued development of our first people by the PNC/R=APNU and AFC. Make no mistake about it, the greatest threat that has emerged to our Amerindians is the political Opposition as the records would show that they have used flowery language to project an image that they are concerned but when it came time for them to demonstrate this in a tangible manner, they turned their backs on our first people.

This is most evident when one simply glances at their pattern of voting in the National Assembly with regard to projects and programmes which directly impact the Amerindian people.

Even in cases where they were forced to support certain initiatives they remained very critical, and I can immediately recall a Ministry of Amerindian Affairs programme to provide transportation for school children in the hinterland where of all persons, AFC MP Valarie Garrido-Lowe had threatened that she and her party would refuse to support it in the National Assembly. This is the very MP who goes into the hinterland and is quite eager to boast about her Amerindian heritage but has sat there and voted against several other programmes intended to benefit hinterland communities, chief of which is the Amerindian Development Fund.

How can the Opposition now go with a straight face into Amerindian communities and tell residents that they are concerned about the youths when they voted down

Mabel has been gathering what turned out to be a wealth of interesting information about Christine, the white lady.

lifestyle, when they voted down provisions to provide them with sports gears and other equipment which was provided for by the PPP/C Government?

How can they talk about developing village economies so as to provide jobs for Amerindian youths, when they voted down a programme to train these kids in entrepreneurial activities, which included targeted assistance to establish community business ventures and support in

acquiring markets, when they voted down this provision which was included in the PPP/C Government Amerindian Development Fund?

How can they tell these Amerindian children that they are concerned about preserving their rich culture and history, when they voted down a PPP/C government programme intended to preserve the traditional languages of our first people?

How can they talk about concern for empowering Amerindian families, especially in the area of Agriculture when they voted down provisions to provide tractors and other machines to assist our indigenous people by the PPP/C Government?

How can they say they are concerned about our Amerindian people having access to not just roads but air travel, especially in cases of emergencies, when they voted down provisions to rehabilitate airstrips in the hinterland?

Old Kai can go on and on, but by now you would have seen the bigger picture. The Opposition is clearly interested in subduing any development for our Amerindians for some nefarious reason. This is not a new policy, as Amerindians suffered tremendously when they had ruled Guyana with an iron fist.

Therefore, as we celebrate Amerindian heritage month, our people will have to assess how far they have come and what are some of those stumbling blocks hindering their continued development. They will have to make a conscious decision on how we move forward.

You can conclude that she is basically very secretive.

Her friends are not from any one particular race and she readily associates with both male and female with deft facility, to most people she appears to be the only answer to real comfort and satisfaction.

One prominent lower East Coast Demerara resident now enjoying life in palatial circumstances is reported to have had a very torrid but brief encounter with Christine in the early eighties. Whatever the problem, the two separated leaving the East Coast Demerara resident with a handsome endowment.

The apparent incompetence being exhibited by the professional Basil Williams in the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry is the talking point within the social gatherings and provides much needed amusement and profound levity.

Aunt Hetta in Canada is wondering how does the Opposition political parties hope to develop her country of birth, if they keep chasing away investors. The relentless attacks on China’s business companies are certainly not helping but definitely hurting Guyana.

And what truth there is in the whisper about the noted television station owner who at last count is fathering over a hundred children with numerous mothers whose ages are anything between 14 to the elderly.

Some record to be entered in the Guinness Book.

How can they look these children in their eyes and pretend to care when they voted down funding by the PPP/C Government to continue the solar panel distribution programme, which among other things was intended to ensure these kids have conventional illumination to study at nights and more so, from renewable energy sources?

Good possibilities emerging for increased exports of non-traditional crops – President

By Vanessa Narine GUYANA’S rice sector has seen phenomenal advances over the last few years and in addition to plans for the turnaround of the sugar sector, Head of State, Mr. Donald Ramotar disclosed that “good possibilities” are emerging for increased exports of non-traditional crops.

“We are looking at other rice markets and we are very optimistic that we will find more markets to deal with increased production.

We are also looking at the increased exports of our non-traditional crops. There are some good possibilities emerging there,” he said at a news conference last Friday.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY The President referred to the progress that is also being made in the greater application of science and technology to enhance the agriculture sector on the

Dr. Leslie Ramsammy whole.

Yesterday, Mr. Ramotar commissioned the sector’s Bio-Control and Tissue Culture Laboratories, based at the National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute (NAREI), Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara.

Two weeks ago, the Guyana Livestock Development Authority (GLDA)’s Veterinary Services Laboratory at Mon Repos, was also commissioned. The state-

of-the-art facility, which costs an estimated $326M, is fully equipped with worldclass equipment and testing apparatus. It is a facility to deal specifically with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of animal diseases and it will not just boost the economy, but also enhance local food security.

With an average food import bill of around US$4 billion annually, the country will be poised to take advantage of this niche market by offering the assurance of quality via the services offered at the lab.

“We want to apply more and more science and technology in agriculture,” he stressed.

The President maintained that these undertakings represent another move towards the achievement of greater local food security.

LOOKING AT FEASIBILITY Agriculture Minister, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy, in an invited comment, confirmed

that a non-regional market has expressed interest in Guyana’s non-traditional agricultural crops. “ We a r e l o o k i n g a t some possibilities of exporting non-traditional crops. A non-regional market is interested. We are looking at feasibility in terms of shipping and price,” he said.

Currently the Guyana Marketing Corporation (GMC) continues to support stakeholders in the non-traditional agricultural sector. GMC provides exporters of non-traditional agricultural products with marketing advice, assistance for sourcing supplies, harvesting, cleaning, packaging and facilitating logistical arrangements for exports.

Last month, the minister outlined Guyana’s Agriculture 2020 Strategy, and alluded to the much needed increase of non-sugar and non-rice exports by “a minimum of 25 per cent by 2020.”

President Donald Ramotar The strategy proposes a five percent growth in the agriculture sector for the next five years which will see Guyana solidifying its capacity through a five-tier plan.

The plan is referred to as the ‘F5’ Approach. F 1 and 2 will address issues of consolidating Guyana’s food and nutritional security statuses respectively. F3 will see the exploration of utilising agricultural products for the formalisation of an energy sector to drive the energy demand of the industry.

Meanwhile, F4 will ad-

dress the use of agricultural products in cosmetics and medicine. The minister disclosed that there is currently a demand from the European markets for Virgin Coconut Oil for the cosmetic industry, which he believes Guyana can provide. Finally, the fifth approach, F5, will address the use of agricultural products for furniture and other craft.

“Agriculture should remain the pillar of Guyana’s economy, even with the steady growth of other emerging industries,” Ramsammy said.

Armed bandits invade home Corentyne woman on of Lamaha Park seamstress multiple fraud charges

By Shirley Thomas

ARMED bandits on Tuesday night broke into the home of popular seamstress and fashion designer, Wendy Griffith of Lamaha Park, East La Penitence and held her and her daughter-in-law at gunpoint before making off with an undisclosed amount of cash, jewellery and household items.

The traumatised seamstress recalled that it was just before 22:00 hrs and her son Andy who lives with his wife and two children in the back building in the yard had just left to go to the shop.

Soon after he left, Griffith recalled, unknown to her the men first pounced on her daughter-in-law and raided her home. They placed the gun behind her head, made her walk ahead of them and ordered her to knock on Griffith’s home so she would open up.

Griffith recalled that on hearing her daughter-in-law calling on her to open up, she was hesitant as it was unusual for her to come over at that hour. However, she opened up.

“When I opened up the door, there was the gun in my face.” She almost fainted, she related. One of the men remained outside while the armed one chucked the daughter-in-law inside and began demanding cash and gold from both women.

From all appearances, the man armed with the weapon had been observing Griffith’s movements earlier in the day, because when he demanded money and she said she did not have any, he blurted out: “You went shopping and come home with a big, big bag dis afternoon and now saying you aint gat money?”

As the men became agitated and continued their demands, the women grew fearful for their lives and eventually handed over their cash and jewellery.

Then one of the men in a barefaced bid looked around and on seeing a television set in the living room demanded that they detach it and hand it over.

Throughout the ordeal, Ms. Griffith was in a frenzy for fear that her son would return home and a confrontation would ensue. However, as fate would have it, the men exited before Andy returned home.

Meanwhile, as they left the yard they discharged rounds and escaped into the night, leaving the two homes in turmoil.

The East La Penitence Police were alerted and responded in good time. Although the men escaped, Griffith said she was very satisfied with the response from the police.

Meanwhile, residents of Lamaha Park are calling for the reintroduction of the Community Policing Group, noting that it serves as a deterrent to nighttime criminal activities.

GUITREE Birjanand called “Falita” 45, of Lot 1095 Glasgow Housing Scheme, Corentyne, Berbice, appeared before New Amsterdam Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus , facing charges of embezzlement , forgery and uttering a forged document, which totalled $9,767,691.

The defendant, who was unrepresented by counsel, was initially not required to plead to the charges, but after the Administration of Justice Act was applied, the mother of one pleaded not guilty.

Particulars of the offences revealed that Birjanand, being a clerk or servant between the months of January 2012 and May 30, 2012 at Gay Park, East Bank Berbice, fraudulently embezzled $9, 767, 691.00 (9.7M) belonging to her uncle Abdool Ishmael.

Additionally, she faces two counts of forgery, in that on October 20, 2012 at Gay Park East Bank Berbice, with intent to defraud, forged one cash receipt to the amount of $158,000 purporting to show that it was made by one Lakhram Parmanand.

Also on November 22, 2012 at the previously mentioned address, she forged a cash receipt to the value of $750,000 to show that it was made by Lakhram Parmanand.

The fourth charge read , that on the May 13, 2013 also at Gay Park, with intent to defraud, she uttered to Abdool Ishmael, two forged cash receipts purporting to be made

by Lakhram Parmanand, knowing same to be forged.

According to Police Prosecutor Sergeant Godfrey Playter, Abdool Ishmael, an overseas -based Guyanese, had entrusted his niece, Birjanand, with the task of completing his home at Gay Park, Greater New Amsterdam.

The virtual complainant had returned home, in January 2012, but had to return to the United States of America. Prior to leaving, he contacted Birjanand, leaving his bank book containing $7,700,495 and $552,000.

Additionally, monies were given to her by a popular New Amsterdam businessman on behalf of her uncle, all to the end of completing his home.

Upon his return however, the man was shocked to learn that his house was incomplete and no documents could be produced to substantiate her claim of spending. Further, she could not give a proper account for the $9.5M. A report was made to the Central Police Station and investigations commenced. The woman was subsequently arrested and charged. She was placed on $75,000 bail on each charge ($300,000)., and is expected to lodge her passport and report once monthly to the Central Police Station.

The case has been fixed for hearing on September 15, for statements and fixture.

Minister Ramsammy to visit Cozier farming area on Friday MINISTER of Agriculture Dr. Leslie Ramsammy and a high-level team is scheduled to visit the Cozier farming area on the Essequibo Coast on Friday to meet with farmers.

According to a release from the Department of Agriculture, the Minister is expected to meet with both rice farmers and other crop farmers on the ground to have discussions on the development of the fertile farming area which has some 6,000 acres.

Farmers in Cozier are cultivating hundreds of acres with rice, coconuts, ground provision, black eye and red peas and vine crops.

Farmers over the years have being calling for an all -weather farm- to- market road in the Cozier area, so that their produce could be transported quickly to markets.

The Government over the years has spent huge sums to clear drainage canals that were heavily silted and overgrown with bushes,

after the scheme had been abandoned by the previous PNC regime. A sluice that was left abandoned by the previous Government was also refurbished and a new pump was installed by the PPP/C Government under the leadership of then Region Two Chairman Mr. Alli Baksh.The intervention of the Government to develop the fertile agricultural scheme has triggered an increase in cultivation.

REDD+ initiative must outweigh opportunity costs from other land use initiatives to be sustainable

By Clifford Stanley CLIMATE change experts who visited Guyana recently have said that the benefits accruable from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) initiative known as the REDD+ must outweigh the opportunity costs from other land use options, such as logging and mining.

They also said that much work is being done to ensure that any cost/benefit analysis works in favour of forests, especially at the community level.

Reduc ing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) is an effort to create a financial value for the carbon stored in forests. It offers financial incentives for developing countries to reduce emissions from forested lands and invest in low-carbon paths to sustainable development.

Mr Naikoa Amuchastegui, Coordinator of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) International Forests and Climate Program, said recently: “It would be naïve not to consider the opportunity costs of REDD+.”

Gold mining, for example, he pointed out, could

easily provide a community with between $20M and $50M a year, but gold is a non-renewable source.

“In comparison, the standing forest can give you that money year after year, after year, after year, after year, after year.”

The judgement call, he said, lies in the eyes of the beholder. “No one is saying ‘no’ to mining. No one is saying ‘no’ to large-scale farming, because we need all these things. But there are good ways and bad ways of doing these things, and that is what we have to try to work out,” he posited.

He also said that to lose a tree does not necessarily mean deforestation, since that could be a management decision that enables sustainability.

Head of the WWF Guianas, Dr Patrick Williams, also acknowledged that there are some issues with respect to different land uses and opportunity costs to REDD+.

He said an ongoing Community Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (CMRV) project in which communities are involved in the climate change abatement effort is part of a broader effort to ensure that opportunity costs of REDD+ are minimised and the benefits

maximised.

The Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission (GLSC) has also done work on regional development land use plans, which include inputs from some indigenous communities utilising data captured in the CMRV, to minimise conflicts.

The WWF is, moreover, involved in discussions with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNR&E) and the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC) on how to conduct mining without losing the benefits of the forests.

“There is, at the moment in Guyana, an ongoing broader discussion that attempts to grapple with the issue of the opportunity costs involved in the REDD+ initiative, especially at community level,” he said.

He said the WWF Guianas was of the view that as the reality and the threat of climate change become undeniable worldwide, REDD+ would -- perhaps within a decade -- become a viable financial mechanism, and Guyana would be in a strong position to fully benefit from current work in monitoring and protecting its forests and its Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS).

Police refute Kaieteur News story on Mandela Avenue car hijack THE Police on Tuesday night, in response to an article published in the Kaieteur News of September 2, 2014, under the caption: “Bandits hijack car with over $1.5M in cash, goods, ” said that in the article businessman Ramanand Jagdeo is alleging that on August 31, 2014, when he went to the Ruimveldt Police Station to make a report the gate to the compound was padlocked and that the policewoman, who subsequently took his report was unprofessional by doing so on a piece of paper.

The GPF in a statement stated that Ramanand Jagdeo went to the Ruimveldt Police Station at about 04:30hrs on August 31, 2014, to report an incident in which he had been robbed of his motor car PRR 4395.

It added that at the time of his arrival at the station, the gate to the compound was closed but not padlocked as alleged, and would have opened had it been pushed.

However, Ramanand Jagdeo remained at the gate

and called out for the police during which time he resorted to the use of indecent language.

The statement noted that a female subordinate officer on duty went down into the compound and told Ramanand Jagdeo that the gate was open and he pushed it open and followed the rank upstairs into the Enquiries Office.

Some amount of discretion was applied and his use of indecent language was overlooked after hearing his report, the police said.

The police stated that Ramanand Jagdeo reported that around 04:00hrs on August 31, 2014, he had stopped his motor car PRR 4395 on Mandela Avenue, Georgetown, in the vicinity of GUYTRAC, when he was confronted by three men who had travelled in another motor vehicle and who pulled him out of his vehicle and drove away with it. He said that cash and other valuables totalling $1.4M were in his car.

The statement noted that the report was recorded by the subordinate officer in the appropriate station

record book and not on a piece of pape, as claimed by Ramanand Jagdeo.

He however, appeared not to be in a state of mind to give a written statement at the time and was advised to return to the station later in the day in order to do so,the police said.

The statement stated that on September 1, 2014, Ramanand Jagdeo gave a written statement in which he stated that one man had taken away his motor vehicle, contrary to his earlier report in which he had said that the act was committed by three men.

However, in response to the report, diligent investigations by the police have led to the recovery of the stolen motor vehicle during the evening of September 1, 2014, at a residence in Sunflower Avenue, South Ruimveldt, Georgetown, the police added.

The police also reported that five men have been arrested and are in police custody assisting with the investigations.

Ramanand Jagdeo has been informed of the developments in the matter.

MNRE, FPDMC to hold one-day seminar on benefits from enhancement of forestry products

By Clifford Stanley THE Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNR&E) and the Forest Products Development and Marketing Council Guyana Inc. (FPDMC), which comprises businesses involved in enhancement of forestry products before they are offered to customers, have organised a seminar to highlight incentives and investment opportunities in the value-added sub-sector of the forestry industry.

Operatives targeted for attendance at this seminar include manufacturers of wood products such as shingles, furniture and components of furniture, flooring, paneling and siding.

The one-day seminar is to

be held on Friday at the Guyana Forestry Commission’s (GFC) Multiplex at Access Road, Kingston, Georgetown; and an MNR&E official said it would address issues that are beneficial to stakeholders in the sub-sector.

Reliable sources have in the past pointed out that Guyana must maximise the value it receives from its forestry resources if the industry is to truly be sustainable and contribute to the national economy.

The programme for those operators who are so doing would include presentations by representatives of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA), GOINVEST and the National Insurance Scheme.

The GRA presentation would highlight the tax con-

cessions that are available to operators involved in adding value to forestry products; the GOINVEST representative would speak on investment incentives and investment opportunities that are available, and the methodology for applying for these incentives; while the NIS representative would speak on the need to be compliant with NIS regulations in order to access benefits offered by other Government agencies and to obtain worker protection.

Presentations would also be made by MNRE Minister Robert Persaud, the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA), the Forest Products Association (FPA), and the FPDMC. The seminar commences at 09:00 hrs.

Police adopt Grove, Kaneville, Craig communities

By Leroy Smith BEGINNING this Saturday, the Guyana Police, through their ‘A’ Division command, will commence skills training and sporting programmes with youths from three East Bank Demerara communities, namely Grove, Craig and Kaneville.

The programmes will be spearheaded by community leaders who already have current sporting activities with both boys and girls from Grove. Those efforts will be boosted through the assistance of Indira Hicken, wife of ‘A’ Division Commander Clifton Hicken and Kim Gordon, wife of the General Manager of the Guyana Chronicle.

The police will adopt a similar approach to the Albouystown, Tiger Bay and Agricola community proj-

ects, and will also be moving into Kaneville.

Speaking with residents of the areas Saturday last, Commander Hicken who got permission from the community leaders to use a facility on the Grove Community Centre ground related that the police will put in the infrastructure that will be able to accommodate the skills training programmes for the children.

He also stated that while the initial work will be with the young people, the police will also at a later date engage the adults in the communities to assist the police in the rolling out other services in the three communities.

Already the residents have been showing interest in the work the police are seeking to do in the community and they have outlined to the lawmen some areas

of training they wish to receive.

For the skills training programmes, the police are looking to engage girls from ages 9 to 16 in tie-dying, fabric painting and sewing, among others. Mrs Hicken and Gordon have their expertise in the areas of painting and art and craft.

Meanwhile, among the males the police will be looking at mostly sports since many of the children in the three communities are already taking part in football and cricket.

And included on the team to work along with the police is a former Tactical Service Unit member who has been acting as a mentor for the young boys in the area while some executives from the Guyana Football Federation have also thrown their lot behind the programme.

GRA to do all in its power to protect integrity of remigrant scheme – advisory states THE Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) in keeping with its mandate to promote compliance with the laws, regulations and policies it administers issued yesterday an advisory reminding taxpayers of the various requirements that must be met in order to be deemed compliant.

It also cited the recent allegations of the remigrant concession scheme being used fraudulently.

“Recently it has come to the attention of the agency that a large number of remigrants, having returned to Guyana from their sojourn overseas, are not keeping for their use the assets that are presumably their property acquired while living abroad,” the GRA said in a press statement.

To this end, the Authority made clear that this is “highly irregular” and advised that this will in no form or shape be condoned by the agency.

“The agency's letter is very clear in that it indicates that the concession is granted for the specific use by remigrants and should not be transferred, leased or sold for a period of three years after one’s return to take up their residence in Guyana as a bona fide remigrant,” the statement said.

VIOLATIONS According to GRA, violations of the condition of the remigrants’ duty free concessions have been discovered.

The GRA said, “Many remigrants when found not to be in possession of their vehicles are using many used and jaded excuses, including lending their assets to their close relatives, among others.

“The GRA views this as a violation of the condition under which the remigrants are granted their concessions, and will take all necessary action to enforce the penalty clause under which violation of the concessions occurs.”

The Authority stressed that where the remigrants are unwilling or unable to pay the pro rata taxes or in some cases the entire amount due, recourse will be taken to forfeit such assets.

NOT BY RIGHT The statement added that concessions are not by right, but have preconditions applying as well as post- conditions as to the application of those concessions.

The advisory said, “In the case of remigrants, it is the norm for all remigrants to provide the necessary proof of the use of their assets prior to their remigrant status being obtained, apart from such items being registered legally in their name.

“One such proof is the presentation of insurance documents attesting to the use of their vehicle or other large capital item. The necessary evidence that the person is the holder of a valid driver’s licence is also necessary information that is usually requested attesting to use.”

LEGAL RECOURSE The GRA acknowledged too that taxpayers have rights and the use of the court by remigrants to challenge the actions taken by the agency as a right or entitlement.

However, the Authority made it clear that notwithstanding this access to recourse, the GRA will do its part to protect the integrity of and to continue to give credibility to the scheme.

The statement said, “It is even more essential to note that in determining genuine remigrants, the post-audit activity carried out by the agency is not only to validate the invoices and title used in the transaction, which are often times highly tampered, but to request of the relevant tax authorities which GRA has treaties with, to disclose relevant tax information.

This includes the recent agreement signed on by the Government to implement the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) as it relates to United States residents.”

The GRA is calling on those who are contemplating making use of concession schemes to be cognizant of the laws including anti-money laundering legislation, regulations, international agreements and policies governing same as there are serious consequences once found guilty of violating the laws pertaining to such offences, the GRA statement added.

Nascimento reports...

THAG’s financial position considerably better –local tourism industry doing relatively well PRESIDENT of the Tourism and Hospitality Association of Guyana (THAG) Mr Kit Nascimento has reported that the organisation is now in a considerably better financial position than it has been for some time but, still, insufficiently financed to fully carry out its mandate.

In the President’s report issued by THAG, Mr Nascimento asserted that as the private sector umbrella organisation for tourism, THAG’s task is to promote and develop tourism and to advance the interests of its members.

He stated that in doing so, THAG serves best in collaborating through participation and advocacy with the government on behalf of the tourism industry, which has been doing relatively well.

“Throughout the year, we have met on a regular basis with our Minister of Tourism, with the Director of the Guyana Tourism Authority and with the staff of the Ministry and the Authority. We have pursued a consistent and strong lobby with our government for legislative action favourable to the industry and for government to invest in a marketing programme for Guyana,” Mr. Nascimento said.

He pointed out that THAG has worked closely with the Private Sector Commission (PSC) in advocating the legislation of incentives for inclusion in its budget,which is essential for making the industry competitive.

Mr Nascimento noted that at the THAG’s President’s Awards Dinner, he spoke “strongly and frankly” in support of the recommendations made in the Cecil Miller Report, a report from a Consultant engaged by the government.

“We took the Miller message to our Minister of Finance [Dr Ashni Singh] in his pre- 2014 budget meeting with the Private Sector Commission. We urged legislation providing a preferred rate of VAT be applied to hotels and tourism resorts in line with preferred treatment which our competitors across the Caribbean, Central and South America enjoy,” he said.

He continued: “Though we were disappointed that our recommendations were not reflected in this year’s budget, both the President and the Minister of Tourism have since given public

undertakings to implement these incentives.”

Mr. Nascimento indicated that at the meeting with the Minister of Finance, THAG addressed the Minister directly on the urgency of budgeting sufficient funds to clean up the national environment and everyone should all be enormously pleased that the sum of $1B has been provided in the budget for that purpose.

“It remains now to see whether an effective, efficient and sustainable use of those funds will be forthcoming. We must play our part in collaborating where we can and where we should with the government,” the THAG President said.

SPONSORSHIP “When I was elected President, THAG was in financial trouble and without major sponsors. It’s good to be able to report that in spite of the fact that we have not increased our membership fees and have not increased our membership, we are no longer in the red and we have benefited considerably from the active sponsorship and support of the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T),” Nascimento pointed out.

He elaborated that on January 14, 2014, THAG concluded a Sponsorship Agreement with GT&T for 36 months recognising GT&T as the official MOBILE PROVIDER for members of the Association and agreeing that GT&T and THAG collaborate on marketing and public relations opportunities of mutual benefit, noting that GT&T has invested three million dollars ($3M) annually for a period of three (3) years in support of THAG’s activities and the new Board will inherit this sponsorship.

He said that Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) has decided to provide support for selective THAG marketing and promotion activities.

He reiterated that on April 4, 2014, at the THAG’s President’s Awards Dinner, which was attended by the President of Guyana Donald Ramotar and Tourism Minister, Irfaan Ali, THAG earned just in excess of $1M. “When I took office in August 2013 our net current balance was $329,198 and, today, its $3,193,609,” Mr Nascimento declared.

TRAINING AND

Kit Nascimento

PARTNERSHIP Nascimento highlighted that a major service rendered to THAG members is training.

“We can never be too well trained in delivering hospitality. We have worked closely with CESO and the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB). THAG and CESO delivered, over the past year, training in Financial and Hospitality Management and Marketing Techniques to 16 separate member locations and Cathy Hughes delivered a oneweek THAG/CDB Financed Seminar on Marketing Skills to 14 hotels, mostly THAG members", he said.

He outlined that THAG has now entered into a partnership with JTW and Associates in an effort to deliver training to students and new entrants to tourism at an extremely affordable price, this information has been passed on to all its members.

He underscored that an Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Consultant, Andrew Cook, contracted to the National Competitiveness Strategy Unit, initiated the collection of data for a study to establish the contribution made to THAG’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and has submitted a report to the Minister.

THAG in the meantime, has re- engaged the Canadian Executive Services Organisation(CESO) to discuss the completion of this study through their support and facilitation of an industry professional in this regard.

CESO has also committed

to financing the accommodation for the duration of the volunteer’s stay.

“It’s critical that we complete this study in order that our government is convinced of the necessity of investing much more than at present in truly marketing Guyana as a tourism destination,” Nascimento said.

On that score, THAG, for the first time, took control, in full collaboration with the Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA), with substantial GTA financial support, of THAG’s presence at the Rutland Birdfair in England.

The representation included THAG being represented by a professional Bird Guide, Waldyke (Wally) Prince, along with the Director of the GTA, Mr. Indranauth Haralsingh.

SECURITY The THAG president indicated that an ongoing and persistent concern for the tourism industry is the security and safety of Guyana for visitors.

He said that if Guyana is perceived as a dangerous place to visit, no amount of promotional marketing will cause visitors to come.

Nascimento reported that THAG has maintained a cordial and collaborative relationship with the Ministry of Home Affairs, but, the escalating reports on crime and banditry and offshore piracy of fishing boats “do nothing to make us comfortable and less to improve our international image.”

He informed that when reports appeared recently

in the media of passengers travelling from the CJIA being attacked by bandits in police uniform, THAG sought a meeting with the Minister of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee.

“We met with Minister Rohee and senior police officers on August 6, and I am pleased to report that the Minister afforded us the opportunity of a free and frank discussion on the matter and we were sufficiently satisfied that the police have instituted measures to counter this threat.

“Headlines in our media of piracy on our coast are equally disturbing. Unfortunately, these reports are interpreted on international websites as being dangerous to yachts visiting Guyana,” Nascimento said.

He indicated that after he joined the Guyana Tourism Authority’s team in Trinidad & Tobago on August 15, to brief some 50 yachtsmen and women on the International Rally to be held in Guyana and to encourage the massive yachting community in Trinidad to visit Guyana, “I was at pains to explain that the piracy off our shores is not targeted to yachts.”

MNRE’S INVOLVEMENT In his report, the President claimed that he had recently circulated to all members, the results of a meeting which THAG asked for and was held last week with the Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment, Robert Persaud.

Nascimento outlined that THAG expressed growing concern over the environmental damage being done to the Cuyuni, Mazaruni and Essequibo Rivers by gold-mining and the appalling garbage- strewn state of Bartica’s waterfront and streets.

He said that THAG was advised in writing that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in collaboration with the The Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) are implementing “a detailed water quality assessment of the Cuyuni River”, part of an ecological and physico-chemical assessment of the Cuyuni/ Mazaruni/Konawaruk River Basin commencing this month.

In addition, the Ministry, together with the Ministry

of Local Government, has promised funds from the “Clean up my country” and the mobilization of equipment to clean up the entire waterfront of Bartica in anticipation of the International Yacht Rally to be hosted there next week.

Nacimento added that as president of THAG, he has set out six priorities: 1) Increasing THAG’s membership.

2) Restoring THAG to viability.

3) Work in partnership with government to persuade government to invest in promoting and marketing Guyana as a tourism destination and to implement a marketing programme for Guyana.

4) Support the Private Sector Commission in engaging government to clean up the environment.

5) Work closely with the Ministry of Home Affairs to ensure the safety and security of our businesses.

6) Mount a Public Relations(PR) Programme on behalf of THAG and its members.

“We have, in the main, measurably kept on target, but could have and should have done more and done better,” he said.

“I also said that any Association is as strong as its membership. In spite of our efforts at holding membership fellowship meetings to coincide with our board meetings and introducing training to support these occasions, membership participation continues to be disappointing,” Nascimento highlighted.

Concluding, he stated that it has been an honour and a rewarding experience serving as THAG President.

“I am grateful for the tremendous support,” he said. “I have received from all of the members of the Board and the hard work that each of them has put in at the expense of their private time on behalf of the Association.”

He acknowledged the support and cont r i b u t i o n s o f T H A G ’s Vice- President, Nicole Correia; Head of the Marketing Committee, Andrea De Caires; Head of the Editorial Committee of the EG Magazine M r. S h a u n M c G r a t h ; and THAG executives Treina Butts and Oslyn Martindale.

President Ramotar notes significant tourism growth THE tourism sector has “picked up significantly,” and this indicates that the country is now being marketed internationally through effective mechanisms, President Donald Ramotar has noted.

The President was speaking at a press conference last Friday at the Office of the President where he was updating the media on current affairs in the country.

President Ramotar said: “Our tourism sector has picked up significantly,” adding that there has been more flight arrivals in the country over time. “We

have more [flight] arrivals in our country and we’re having flights from Venezuela every week and they’re coming fairly full,” he said.

Aiding also in the marketing of the country is COPA Airlines who, according to the President, is giving Guyanese more access and more direct routes to Europe, South America and North America. This, he said, has been boosting tourism locally through the mobilising of tourists.

However, key internal developments are also contributing significantly. The Head of State elaborated on the fact that more hotels

are currently being erected, such as the world renowned Marriott Hotel, while more resorts and riverside attractions are being developed.

“What is interesting to note too is that we have a new aviation company and all of that is being stimulated with the growth in the tourism sector,” Mr. Ramotar noted.

Only recently local tourism got a further boost through the Guyana Festival which was held last month. The successful execution of the initiative which was launched by the Ministry of Tourism was one which was commend-

President Donald Ramotar

ed by Cabinet as they reiterated the need for the marketing and selling of Guyana’s tourism product, not only regionally but internationally as well.

GNRSC urges drivers to look out for schoolchildren WITH the start of the new school term, the Guyana National Road Safety Council (GNRSC) is urging drivers to be on the lookout for children.

In a press statement the road safety organisation is also appealing to all road users to be more responsible in their day to day activities on the roadways.

Teachers and parents are reminded to emphasise road safety education and highlight school safety patrols in schools while students are reminded of the Curb Drill: Look Right, Look Left, Look Right Again And When The Road Is Clear, Walk Briskly Across. In fact, all pedestrians should take note of the Curb Drill.

The statement noted that major accidents have resulted in loss of lives and serious disability to persons while all categories of accidents have impacted financially on the country’s economy and dis-

tressed all parties involved, emotionally and physically.

Moreover, serious accidents have significantly disturbed the social welfare of all the affected families.

Meanwhile, drivers are reminded of the five Cs; Care, Courtesy, Consideration, Caution and Common Sense when using the roads.

GNRSC said, “Blatant disregard for traffic laws and traffic advisories are the major contributing factors for road accidents which we, as responsible Guyanese, are desperately trying to reduce substantially.”

Pedestrians and cyclists are also to be blamed for their carefree and sloppy attitudes when using the roadways, the statement added.

GNRSC said, “These behaviours should be discontinued immediately to put an end to some of these ‘needless’ road crashes and deaths.”

Burrowes School graduates mount impressive exhibition

By Navendra Seoraj

STUDENTS and administrators of the Burrowes School of Art have mounted an exhibition to showcase various arts and craft done by young, aspiring artists, who recently graduated from the school.

According to Administrator of the institution, Mr. Ivor Thom, the exhibition will be an annual feature for students to display their works to the public. Some of the magnificent pieces that were exhibited included ceramics, paintings, graphic arts, sculptures and craft—

testimony to the talent of young Guyanese.

Thom noted that with proper exposure, these young artists could have a bright future ahead of them and added his gratitude to the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony, for making the

undertaking a possibility.

The Minister, in brief comments, commended the artists for the great work that they have done on these pieces and noted that some of these exhibits could be entered in the upcoming Visual Arts competition.

The Chronicle spoke to

several of the artists and the common theme was the hard work and effors that went into producing the pieces.

The artists added that production of the exhibits was time-consuming, but in the end they managed to complete their respective pieces without any problems.

Additionally, one of the outstanding artists, Kwesi Archer, who graduated this year from the Burrowes School of Art, is expected to launch a comic book soon, which he promises will be very interesting, but still fun to read.

City Hall pledges to reclaim garbage –administration prepares to submit 2015 Equipment Maintenance Plan

By Derwayne Wills ACTING Town Clerk of the Georgetown Municipality, Ms. Carol Sooba, has given word that the drafting of a 2015 Maintenance Plan for the refurbishing of equipment by the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development is currently in progress.

Speaking with this publication, the Town Clerk (Ag.) disclosed that subject to a recent meeting with City Engineer, Mr.Colvern Venture,

there was an expressed commitment to complete the proposal within a matter of days.

This was confirmed by the City Engineer who, while speaking to the Guyana Chronicle, gave word that same is to be done within the time span of three days.

Venture said that the suggestion from the Local Government Ministry was for a proposal schedule to be drafted for the maintenance of equipment held by the municipality. When asked about items included in the

document, the City Engineer said, “the list mostly [includes] repairs to the garbage trucks,” which have some “mechanical and electrical problems.”

Commenting on the possibility for improved effectiveness of the city administration in solid waste management, Venture stated that there will be a visible improvement of the Council in dealing with the current garbage situation as well as the current canal de-silting works.

“Clean up is also about the removal

of debris, the trucks will aid in the continued maintenance and enhancement of the projects being done.”

The Government of Guyana had invested $1B into the “Clean Up My Guyana” campaign which sought the involvement of not only the Local Government Ministry, but the Georgetown Mayor & City Council, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment and the Environmental Protection Agency.

The $500M Georgetown Solid Waste Management Programme is currently in progress and will see not only the de-silting of main canals in and around Georgetown, but also a facelift for Le Repentir Cemetery to the tune of $100M. All of which, Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Mr. Norman Whittaker had disclosed, the city administration in collaboration with Community Development Councils (CDCs) or other organised community groups will be tasked with maintaining.

The City Engineer bemoaned the negative media attention that was given to the situation of

Three of the trucks to be repaired a City Hall’s garbage collecting capac

the inoperable garbage trucks. He urged that there will be some positive results following repairs to this equipment. “The maintenance and repairs will see an improvement in terms of the quick removal of garbage from business places and residents and also, there will be a quick response in the reduction in indiscriminate dumping of garbage in areas.”

disposal responsibility for city areas town, Mr. Walter Narine for his part hinted that the Council hopes

come to paying private contractors to carry out these works”, he added

as part of the Guyana Government’s efforts to restore the Georgetown city

to reclaim solid waste management responsibility for key areas around Georgetown.

He noted that there are currently two private contractors with responsibility over key areas in Georgetown: Puran Brothers Disposal Inc. and Cevons Waste Management Inc. The Solid Waste Director further disclosed that “The repairs to trucks [will] help to reduce the costs that

that “[the] council can eventually take back some of the areas that private contractors service.”

The City Council in previous times held direct responsibility for garbage disposal in what was identified as blocks seven and eight. These areas included: Alberttown, Queenstown, North and South Cummingsburg, Kingston, Woolford Avenue, East and West Ruimveldt, Middle

Another one of the trucks housed at the M&CC’s Princes Street compound

Road La Penitence and a few others.

Council was forced to delegate this responsibility to private contractors because of what the City Engineer cited as “mechanical and electrical problems” with the garbage trucks.

Speaking on the potentially tre-

mendous benefits to the Council through reclaiming some areas, the Solid Waste Director stated strongly that council not only has the workforce for the task, but they possess a workforce that is “willing to work.”

These developments come on the wings of an indication by the

Local Government Minister that the agreement by the Government to repair derelict vehicles and other equipment is on condition that the city administration submits a maintenance plan for the year 2015, which is still to be completed.

tions during the month of September as part of the town’s celebrations.

The site of Nieu Amsterdam was chosen by the Dutch to erect a town in the eighteen century because of its close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, and because it

GAWU awards bursaries to 26 workers’ children who sat the NGSA in 2014 TWENTY-SIX children of workers aligned to the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) who sat the National Grade Six Examinations this year were awarded bursaries in two (2) events conducted at

the GAWU Head Office in Kingston, Georgetown and at the Rose Hall Estate Training Building in East Berbice.

Union officials presented the monetary awards while a parent of each pupil witnessed the activities.

At both activities, held on August 29, the Union’s General Secretary, Cde Seepaul Narine, congratulated the students and advised them to continue studying and learning. He noted that information and communication technol-

ogy (ICT) requires sound education for one to enter today’s job market.

He also urged the parents to continue supporting and encouraging their children as they pursue their future studies. He expressed hope that the

Union’s bursaries would, in some way, encourage the awardees to engage in future educational pursuits; and he said he hoped that they would write the Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) examinations in five years’ time

and be successful in a number of subjects.

The Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union Co-operative Credit Union Society Limited contributed three of the twenty-six bursaries.

Six taken into custody after unlicensed guns, ammo found in separate searches POLICE conducted a stop-and-search exercise on two men in Region Six at Corriverton, Corentyne, Berbice on Sunday, and seized an unlicensed .22 Browning pistol.

The men are in police custody as investigations continue into this matter.

That same day, the po-

lice searched a mining camp at Chinese Landing in the Barama River area of Region One, and unearthed an unlicensed 12-gauge shotgun and three cartridges.

Four men have been arrested and are in police custody assisting with that investigation. (Asif Hakim)

Police Prosecutor Michael Grant did not oppose bail.

The defendant was represented by attorney-at-law Mr. Mark Conway. He requested that his client be released on his own recognizance.

The matter will be called again on September 10 before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.

the day in question around 19:00 hrs the defendant went into the supermarket and was seen by the security guard picking up the item and placing it in his pants pocket.

However, the unrepresented man interrupted as the prosecutor was relating the facts and told the court that he was beaten and taken to the station and not arrested.

He said that he does recycling work with Harold’s and does not smoke but encountered a drinking problem, after he and his wife separated.

The prosecutor noted that ranks are investigating whether the name given to the court by the prisoner is correct, since he was previously charged under another name.

Mr. Hanoman said that because of this incident none of his AC units has been working. He explained that it is better if Singh remained in prison for sometime so he can be rehabilitated rather than being on the road stealing from other persons.

The second convict Juman Narine, a 38-year-old carpenter, was also sentenced to 12 months imprisonment after he pleaded guilty to the charge that said on September 1 at Lot 173 Sheriff Street, Georgetown he stole one wood spray valued $1,595, property of Survival Supermarket.

Thirty-seven-year-old Ali Singh (no address given) pleaded guilty to stealing an air conditioning unit (AC) with copper tubing, together valued $175,000, belonging to attorney-at-law Mr. Glen Hanoman.

The court heard that around 15:30 hrs on Sunday, August 31 at King Street, Georgetown, he stole the equipment from the virtual complainant’s (VC) office at Maraj building. The convict was seen by passersby taking off one of the AC units and persons took photographs of him in the act.

The matter was reported at the Brickdam Police Station and public-spirited citizens held on to man with the stolen articles and he was later arrested and charged. Grant said that Singh is a known character to the police since he was convicted on similar offences.

Aries March 21 - April 19 Money is probably on your mind now. A desire for increased financial security could force you to look for work or investments that would pay off big. Opportunities for one or both of these are likely to come through friends, perhaps someone with whom you’ve worked before. You’re likely to accomplish what you want for now, but it’s uncertain whether you’ll continue on this path in the future.

Taurus April 20 - May 20 Don’t expect to spend a lot of time at home today. You’re more likely to be in the car and away from home. There may be errands and social obligations to fulfill. Try to pace yourself in whatever you do or else you might be exhausted by day’s end. Take the time to stop and enjoy yourself. This will ensure a fun rather than tiring day.

Gemini May 21 - June 21 Emotional turmoil on the job could stress you out way too much. Headaches or temporary hypertension could plague you if you aren’t careful. Don’t push too hard. Remember to take breaks, and go for walk on your lunch hour. Don’t be afraid to put off nonessential tasks. You’ll be all right. Why make a day’s work any more difficult than it needs to be?

Cancer June 22 - July 22 This should be a fortunate day for you. Everything you try to do should go fairly smoothly. Relations with others are warm, friendly, and congenial. Any chores or other pending work should be completed quickly and efficiently. If you’ve been planning to start a new project, this is the day to get going. Romance should be intense and passionate now, so make the most of it!

Leo July 23 - August 22 A couple you’ve known for a long time could visit you at your home today.

Don’t be surprised if they tell you how wonderful the place looks. Conversation should be lively and entertaining, though you should sidestep any discussion of controversial subjects. Debates on such matters could get rather heated. It might be wise to treat your guests to food rather than alcohol!

Virgo August 23 - September 22 Today, you might spend a great deal of time in the car running errands in the neighbourhood. You’re likely to see people you know who have interesting news. New businesses may open nearby. Doctors, dentists, and other professionals could open new offices, making your daily routine more convenient.

Some of them might be your neighbours or relatives.

Libra September 23 - October 22 Money that you’ve been earning for a long time may finally come your way today, but don’t be surprised if you have to do a lot of running around in order to get it. Plans for future moneymaking projects could come up, although it’s important to consider everything carefully and not jump in too quickly. This is an excellent time to learn a new moneymaking skill.

Scorpio October 23 - November 21 The special someone in your life may be having some trouble with colleagues.

Don’t just comfort him or her. It’s unlikely that your sweetie wants sympathy.

Solutions are needed. If you don’t have any, just be a good listener. It’s important for you to get out and exercise. If the weather is good, take a walk. If not, attend an exercise class. You’ll feel better.

Sagittarius November 22 - December 21 Today you’re likely to be working hard behind the scenes, perhaps preparing a project for others to make public or coaching people for some kind of performance. You’ll expend a lot of energy in the course of completing this chore, yet you’ll probably feel it was all worth it. Don’t expect to go home early. You’ll probably go above and beyond the call of duty.

For Thursday September 4, 2014 -12:30hrs For Friday September 5, 2014 -14:00hrs

Capricorn December 22 - January 19 Friends could entice you to join them for a short day trip, perhaps to the country.

This is a great day to go on such an outing. You’ve probably been working hard and need to get away for a while. Don’t be surprised if there’s a delay, however.

You or one of your friends could be waiting to meet with someone.

Aquarius January 20 - February 18 Emotions could be intense at work today as important projects approach their deadlines. You may put in more time than usual. Tempers might flare and co-workers clash, so stay calm and keep going. On the positive side, the financial and recognition payoffs for whatever you accomplish today should prove well worth the effort.

Pisces February 19 - March 20 Today you should feel especially sexy and relationships with romantic partners should go well. Your passions are intense, the lines of communication are open, and appreciation of one another is running high. There might be talk of taking a long trip together in the future. Plan a cosy evening for two. You’ll want to do a lot of talking - and more!

GUYANA CHRONICLE Thursday September 4, 2014

Demerara coach Nedd...

Not forgetting, Essequibo who on their day can spring an element of surprise, winning games that can put a spin on the competition,” said Nedd.

He added, “Then there are the debutants in the young Under-19s, whom I feel played well to cart off both the three-day and limited overs title in this year’s Regional Under-19 tournament, which means they will be riding high on the confidence train coming into this tournament.

“Having said all of that, it is my duty as coach to ensure the guys do not get complacent and take a laid-back approach to their games, but approach each and every match with a must-win attitude regardless of whom we are playing and once we do that, we can be the victorious unit in both formats when this tournament culminates next month.”

Demerara open their campaign for supremacy in the limited overs version of this year’s tournament, against a youthful-looking Essequibo unit, who will be without the services of Guyana and West Indies ‘A’ team fast bowler Ronsford Beaton and the vast-improving Kemo Paul.

Beaton left these shores on Monday along with Leon Johnson, Assad Fudadin and Devendra Bishoo for Barbados, where they will be participating in a preparatory camp prior to the West Indies ‘A’ team tour to Sri Lanka.

However, the unrelated Anthony and Ricardo Adams have been entrusted with the captaincy and vice-captaincy roles for the Cinderella County lineup, which also includes brothers Royan and Norman Fredericks an former national Under-19 vice-captain Royston Alkins.

Kevon Boodie, Ricardo Peters, Anthony ‘Baby’ Ifill, Vijay Surujpaul and Mark Gonsalves, will

all lend support with the bat, even as Ifill, Alkins, Ricardo and Anthony Adams, Royan Fredericks, Mark Tyrell and Brian Herbert will chip in with the ball in the bowling department.

Apart from their CPL quartet and Wintz, Demerara’s batting lineup also includes discarded national opener Shemroy Barrington, who will be tasked with the glove work behind the stumps, Andrew Lyght Jr, Yatesh Dhanpaul and the hard-working Chandrapaul Hemraj.

Wintz, Barnwell, Khan, Jacobs, Bacchus, Zaheer Mohammed and Seon ‘Big Neck’ Daniels, will handle Demerara’s bowling duties, with good support (if needed), coming from Griffith and Dhanpaul, the man who picked up the lone five-wicket haul in the first of two trial matches.

Even without Bishoo and Fudadin, Berbice will still be a force to be reckoned with when they face the National Under19s, as their unit is being led by discarded West Indies middle order batsman Narsingh Deonarine, who after having a miserable first class season with the bat for Guyana earlier this year, went to Trinidad and Tobago and regained his form.

In the batting department, Deonarine can rely on Bishoo, who has proved time and time again that he is no rabbit with the bat, Rajiv Ivan, Anthony Bramble, Kandasammy Surujnarine, Seon Hetmyer, Devon Clements and the hard-hitting Jonathan Foo, who is currently in tremendous form.

In Keon Joseph and Raun Johnson, two players with first-class experience, Berbice boast the best newball pair in the Land of Many Waters and with Permaul, Ivan, Clements, Hetmyer, Gudakesh Motie- Kanhai and Krisendat Ramoo in his

lineup, Deonarine should not worry, when it comes to the bowling department, since his biggest headache will be handling that unit proficiently.

As they have shown throughout the Regional Under-19 tournament, the Sattaur-led Under-19s will not take their opponents lightly when it comes to limited overs cricket, since they defeated all six of their opponents, before rain prevented them from contesting the final.

Shimron Hetmyer and Tagenarine Chanderpaul were the lone batsmen to record centuries for Guyana in that tournament, doing so in both formats of the game and with the pugnacious Sattaur listed to bat at three and in line for a big total, what better time to do so than against Berbice today.

Batting support will come from Paul, Ashkay Homraj, Ronaldo AliMohammed, Kemol Savory, Shiraz Ramcharran, Balchand Baldeo, Steven Sankar and Damion Waldron, while Paul and Ali-Mohammed will take the sheen off the new ball for Baldeo, Ramcharran, Sankar and Waldron to hopefully decimate the opposition.

Below is a list of all four teams along with the schedule of matches for your perusal: Demerara: Christopher Barnwell (captain), Paul Wintz (v-captain), Trevon Griffith, Robin Bacchus, Andrew Light, Shemroy Barrington, Rajendra Chandrika, Raj Nannan, Zaheer Mohamed, Amir Khan, Yatesh Dhanpaul, Steven Jacobs, Chanderpaul Hemraj and Seon Daniels.

Windies in danger of losing crucial ratings points DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (CMC) - West Indies are in danger of losing crucial ratings points if they do not complete a cleansweep of the two-match Test

series against Bangladesh starting this weekend.

A one-nil series win will earn Bangladesh 13 ratings points and will cost the West Indies eight ratings

points. Additionally, while a 2-0 series win will help Mushfiqur Rahim’s side gain 15 ratings points it will cause the West Indies to lose 10 ratings points.

Botham wants rid of IPL SIR Ian Botham believes cricket would be better off without the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Speaking at Lord’s as he delivered the 2014 MCC Spirit of Cricket Cowdrey Lecture yesterday, Botham expressed his concerns about the power of the IPL and its impact on corruption in the game.

The 58-year-old former England captain said: “I’m worried about the IPL - in fact, I feel it shouldn’t be there at all as it is changing the priorities of world cricket.

“Players are slaves to it.

Administrators bow to it.

How on earth did the IPL own the best players in the world for two months a year and not pay a penny to the boards who brought these players into the game?

“I know this has been modified to a degree, but it is still an imbalance. The IPL is too powerful for the long-term good of the game.

Corruption is enough of a problem in itself, but the IPL compounds that problem given it provides the perfect opportunity for betting and therefore fixing.

“We have seen a few players exposed, but does throwing the odd second XI player into jail solve it? To kill the serpent, you must cut off its head. The ICC (International Cricket Council) Anti-Corruption Unit must pursue the root of the problem and if necessary expose the big names.”

Botham also spoke about domestic T20 cricket, suggesting there is danger of “overkill” of that form suffocating the LV= County Championship.

“We should be aware of

overkill of T20,” Botham said.

“When it began, we played the tournament in a three-week burst and it worked. Since then, we have played more and more

SIR Ian Botham of it, and guess what? The crowds haven’t got bigger.

The County Championship needs space to breathe.

Let’s not crowd our calendar with an overkill of T20.”

Botham was delivering his lecture 24 hours after another disappointing one-day international for England, with the team’s series defeat to India being sealed by a nine-wicket hammering at Edgbaston.

Captain Alastair Cook has now overseen five straight series losses and he and his players are under increasing scrutiny.

Botham did not make specific reference to Cook or any of his side, but made a general point about central contracts and the need for those on them to retain hunger, desire and a “need for success”.

“Central contracts are brilliant, but it has now become so essential to the

England player that the sharpness goes,” Botham said.

“A long contract is a cosy contract. To play international sport, above all else - above even freshness and rest - you must have desire. It is not enough to want success.

You must need success.

If you want it, that’s fine, but you must need it as a player. Hunger is still the most important attribute for any sportsman.”

Botham did, however, directly call out Prime Minister David Cameron as he urged for more to be done to encourage cricket in schools.

Botham said: “Why aren’t the Government focusing on sport as a necessity in the school curriculum?”

“This subject drives me insane. I feel it is my duty to point out the problems that face sport in schools, and specifically cricket.

The problem is now that schools are too big and there is no personal touch with the teachers. And as schools get bigger ... you lose your playing fields.

“Then, of course, if you do want to stay behind, there is pressure on the teachers.

We live in a world now of health and safety - why would you, as a teacher, be there at 18:00hrs in the summer when someone might break a leg? In the culture we live in now, you would probably get sued.

“Come on, David Cameron - when I came to Downing Street to meet you, you made all the right noises and promised to come back to me with your ideas. I’m still waiting.”

If the series is drawn, Bangladesh will benefit by gaining seven ratings points, while the West Indies will drop four ratings points.

Denesh Ramdin’s men can only earn a maximum of one ratings point if they win both the Tests while the visitors will drop two ratings points.

West Indies and Bangladesh are currently ranked eighth and 10th respectively on the Reliance ICC Test Team Rankings Table with the West Indies, currently sitting on 74 ratings points, leading Bangladesh (21) by 53 ratings points.

The two sides meet

Denesh Ramdin in the first match of the Test series tomorrow at

the Arnos Vale Cricket Ground in St Vincent.

Murray and Djokovic set for quarter-final epic (REUTERS) - Friends and rivals since they were 11, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray renew acquaintances in their U.S. Open quarter-final match.

Sixteen years after they first met in a junior competition in France, the pair are set to lock horns for the 21st time as professionals, their sixth grand slam clash but at the earliest stage of the lot.

World number one Djokovic will enter the match as the favourite, having reached the last eight without dropping a set, while Murray looked back on form in beating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to make the quarter-finals.

Djokovic leads Murray 12-8 over their careers - but tellingly, has won four of his last five encounters.

In addition, all of those wins were on hard courts - the sole win for Murray during those clashes being the 2013 Wimbledon final and, given Murray’s shaky season and injury-interrupted last 12 months, Djokovic is unsurprisingly a 2-7 odds-on favourite, with Murray 11-4 to make the semi-finals.

Yet Murray has the advantage of having beaten Djokovic in their only previous encounter in New York: the 2012 U.S. Open

final, which Murray took in five sets.

RODDICK TWEET Despite his superb form, the Serb is well

aware of how tough a match he faces.

“I think Andy also performs his best in the grand slams,” said Djokovic. “In the big matches, as the tournament progresses, he’s

Andy Murray embraces Novak Djokovic.

still fit. He still plays very high quality tennis.

That’s what I expect him to do.”

The pair are the only two men to have reached at least the quarter-finals of all four grand slams this year.

Murray said there were unlikely to be many surprises between the two but in his column with the New York Times, he said the weather could be significant, a reference, perhaps, to the 2012 final when he coped better with the wind than Djokovic.

“You can’t just have the same tactics every single time you play him,” said Murray.

“There needs to be some adjustments depending on the surface and the conditions.

We’ll see what those are today.”

Japan’s Kei Nishikori will be hoping to rebound from his marathon win in the previous round, which equalled the latest ever U.S. Open finish of 02:26hrs. ET, when he takes on third seed Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland.

Women’s top seed Serena Williams plays Italy’s 11th seed Flavia Pennetta for a place in the semi-finals while Victoria Azarenka, the runner-up in each of the past two years, faces Russia’s Ekaterina Makarova.

Former Windies wicketkeeper Vaughan: Save our backs first-class franchise system World Cup hopes

Ridley Jacobs ST.JOHNS, Antigua (CMC) - Former West Indies wicketkeeper Ridley Jacobs has welcomed the decision by the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) to professionalise first class cricket in the Caribbean starting next season.

Jacobs, a Leeward Islands selector, says professionalism in cricket is lacking in the Caribbean and as such the

WICB’s move will serve to bolster the quality of the sport in the region.

Under the new Professional First Class structure, players will receive contracts as part of a first-class franchise system.

“We need to be more professional in our approach where cricket is concerned. I think that if we have players playing cricket all year round and being paid, it’s a plus and I can only see cricket going forward from there,” said Jacobs.

“Having coaches working with these players all year round, (will result in) better players representing Leeward Islands, representing West Indies and we will start winning more games so I honestly think that is the best way forward”.

Fifteen players in each of the six territories will be contracted on a full-time, year-round basis. This means 90 first-class players will be given annual contracts joining those contracted under WICB Annual Retainer Contracts.

“You would have the opportunity to pick who you want to pick.

I haven’t seen any problems as yet,” said Jacobs. “I don’t think it would be a problem because if you go into a draft and you want a fast bowler and a fast bowler is up for grabs you have a chance to pick him to strengthen your team.”

The Caribbean Premier League (CPL) announced recently that it will contribute US$360 000 towards the annual retainer contracts for first-class players.

and sack Cook

MICHAEL Vaughan is calling on England to be ruthless by sacking captain Alastair Cook in order to salvage any chance of winning next year’s World Cup. Vaughan is convinced that if England continues with Cook in charge of their one-day international team they are doomed to failure when they take on the world in Australia and New Zealand in February and March.

Cook continues to be beset by increasing calls for his resignation, after leading England to three successive Royal London Series heavy defeats against India in the past week.

Former Test and ODI captain Vaughan wrote in his Daily Telegraph column, published online: “Cook is a stubborn man.

He proved it this summer when he defied people calling for him to go and made his point by winning the Test series against India.

“But one-day cricket is different. If he is not going to stand down then the tough call has to be made.”

Vaughan, a former Ashes-winning leader but like all others for England a World Cup loser, does not want history to repeat itself as it did in his playing days.

“Mike Atherton, Nasser Hussain, Andrew Strauss and myself thought we could do the job - but we were Test match cricketers and could not adapt,” he added.

“Cook is cut from similar cloth and, at the moment, he is dropping players from the team who are better one-day cricketers than he. The captain is going up to players telling them

they are not in the team and they must be looking back wondering, ‘how are you still in it?’”

TWEET Vaughan advocates replacing Cook as captain with limited-overs specialist Eoin Morgan, and insists it is not too late for a rethink from England coach Peter Moores and his management colleagues.

“With six months to go, other teams are looking at this side and hoping that Cook remains as captain, and opens the batting at next year’s World Cup because they know that if happens England will not be a threat,” Vaughan added.

“I am speaking out now because, with 13 games to go to the World Cup, there is time to make a difference.”

Golden Jaguars and Dominica play to an exciting draw THE Golden Jaguars, Guyana’s senior national team, opened their 2014 Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Caribbean Cup tournament with a goalless draw against Dominica when the two sides met last evening in St Kitts and Nevis.

Playing in Group 6 of the tournament which is also a qualifier for the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the scores of people who turned up at Warner Park Sporting Complex were certainly entertained by the two countries who are now trying to find their way back into Caribbean football.

According to information reaching Chronicle Sport, it was the Nature Boys (Dominica) who controlled the pace of the game in the initial stages and had two clearcut chances of scoring, one of which was by Caledonia’s AIA striker Julian Wade.

When the Guyanese found their footing in the contest, the tempo of the game changed but their strikers failed to trouble the sturdy Dominican defence.

Meanwhile, as Wade continued his relentless attack on the Guyanese

Part of the Group 6 action between Guyana and Dominica in the CFU Caribbean Cup football tournament in St Kitts and Nevis last evening.

(Photo, compliments of St Kitts News) goal, forcing the Jaguars goalkeeper to be on the alert throughout the game, Delwane Fraser’s rightfooted rocket-like shot on goal saw the ball slam off the goal post and so did Guyana’s best chance of

scoring.

Though at halftime, Guyana were by far the more aggressive and had the best chance of scoring in the game. Defensively, they struggled to contain the Dominicans.

The second half was laced with drama, compounded by Golden Jaguars defender Stephen Ramsey in the 88th minute being red-carded, and to add insult to injury, he sent Dominica’s Kenny Jean

Baptiste to the penalty spot after bringing him down in the 18-yard area.

Luckily for the Golden Jaguars Baptiste’s aim was not on point as the Dominican shot sailed over the crossbar,

bringing a sigh of relief to coach Denzil ‘Hunky Brains’ Thompson and his troops. Guyana will now play St Lucia tomorrow and close off their group campaign against the hosts on Sunday.

DCB calls on new WI selectors to Wozniacki wallops Errani reconsider Chanderpaul for ODIs to reach semi-finals THE DEMERARA Cricket Board wishes to urge the newly installed regional Windies selectors to revisit the situation regarding Shivnarine Chanderpaul’s continued omission from our Regional One day team.

All international teams are now preparing their teams for the ICC World Cup to be hosted in New Zealand and Australia in February/March 2015. We have already squandered a great opportunity here at home to have him included and playing in the squad against the touring Bangladesh team.

In all 3 ODI matches and in most of our previous encounters, we have been failing miserably in the top and middle order. With the absence of Samuels and Sarwan for various reasons, our middle order looks very fragile.

Fortunately, Ramdin has struck a rich vein of form in the last few months but there is very little support for his efforts from the other batters. Against a lesser known attack at home, we were reduced to 34 for 5 until Ramdin and Pollard rescued us.

Young Darren Bravo has come good in one of the matches but need to step up and be more hungry and responsible for the abundance of natural talent that he undoubtedly possesses.

The opening slots have been a disaster with Gayle not firing in most of his outings and his various partners do not inspire confidence at the top.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul We need some more stability in the top order and Shiv still has a few more years of cricket left in him. We at the DCB have never agreed with the decision or judgment of Otis Gibson when he opined that for Shiv to be saved for Tests, he needed to be axed from ODIs. Most of the cricket knowledgeable that we have spoken to around the world have readily agreed that this was an unwise decision by Gibson and the previous WI selectors. Let us correct

this mistake that we made with Shiv and provide him with possibly his final opportunity to assist the WI team to bring home the bacon for us.

Shiv’s fitness has never been an issue with the selectors and he is capable of being managed in a much better manner. The conditions in Australia and New Zealand are very harsh for most seasoned batters and we need all the experience that we have available to contribute to the success of our team.

Shiv’s performance in ODIs as an opener has been extraordinary and would be the perfect foil for Gayle at the top of the order. We have two ODI series before the World Cup, against India and South Africa and Shiv is badly needed in our outfit for these series. Our last ODI outing in NZ was an embarrassment!How many times, if ever, have we seen someone offer to play in a practice match for another Territorial team just so that he would be in a match ready shape for a test series? Cannot remember ever seeing something like this before and it clearly shows the attitude of Shiv to the game and we must include him in all ODIs and tests for the remainder of his career to help nurture and inculcate those habits in the other team members.

(REUTERS) Caroline Wozniacki used her aggressive groundstroke game to near perfection to reach the semi-finals of the U.S. Open with a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Italy’s Sara Errani.

The 10th seeded Dane beat 13th seeded Errani at her own strategy, engaging in long baseline rallies but using superior power to open the court and find lanes for blasting home winners.

Former world number one Wozniacki belted 15 winners to four for Errani in the first set and, despite losing serve in the opening game of the second set, roared to victory in a brisk 65 minutes at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Wozniacki’s opponent in the semi-finals will be Peng Shuai of China, a 6-2, 6-1 winner over 17-year-old Swiss Belinda

Bencic.

Peng, 28, delivered a 64-minute master class to 2013 junior world number one Bencic, in an unlikely quarterfinal between unseeded players.

The Chinese had rattled off three impressive upsets in a row from the second round, ousting fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska, 28th seed Roberta Vinci and 14th-seeded Lucie Safarova, on her way to reaching her first grand slam singles semi-final in 37 attempts.

“This is amazing time for me,” said Peng, who has won 16 doubles titles, including this year’s French Open, but is still chasing her first singles crown.

“A lot of tennis! It’s a long time, the career.

It’s tough sometimes. I’m thinking to give up and stop play because I don’t know if I can make it or not.”

Bolt credits father for sports career BANGALORE, India (CMC) - Sprint superstar Usain Bolt admitted last Tuesday that his decision to pursue a career in track and field was based on the advice of his father.

The world’s fastest man has conceded that his passion was to represent Jamaica in cricket but changed his mind after his father convinced him to take to the tracks.

“Blame it on my dad. My father is a huge cricket fan, but when I got to higher secondary, I had two options -- cricket or athletics,” said Bolt, the six-time Olympic gold

medallist on a promotional visit to India.

“My dad said because of the system in Jamaica, it would be better to take up athletics. He said, ‘You just have to run fast in athletics while it’s tougher to get into the national (cricket) team’.”

Bolt, an ardent cricket fan, was in Bangalore to captain a seven-aside team against one led by India’s Cricket World Cup hero Yuvraj Singh. The exhibition match, organised by both men’s sponsors, was staged in a stadium in the southern city of Bangalore.

The world record holder in both the 100 metres and 200 metres said his records at this stage were “pretty much out of reach”.

“There are quite a few runners who could challenge me but not beat me,” said Bolt.”As an athlete, I have seen records come and go.

They have always been broken, but if you want to be as great as me, you have to work very hard. That’s why my records will stand the time.”

Bolt, who has raced four times this season, plans to compete in his final Olympics in Rio in 2016 leading up to his retirement.

Bell out of final clash

IAN BELL

IAN BELL has been ruled out of the fifth and final Royal London Series match against India at Headingley because of a broken toe.

England were initially planning to assess Bell’s injury in practice today, but have decided already he will not recover in time to play tomorrow. They will

not, however, be calling up a replacement.

Bell was hit on the left big toe while facing throw-downs in practice drills before Tuesday’s nine-wicket defeat at Edgbaston, where his number three position was instead filled by Gary Ballance.

West Indies first policy remains intact - says CEO PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) - West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has insisted that its West Indies First policy remains intact despite the decision by two players not to be considered for selection for the Test series against Bangladesh starting this weekend.

Former chairman of selectors Michael Findlay had challenged a WICB statement which said the players’ decision would have no adverse effect on their future selection. However, CEO of the WICB Michael Muirhead said the governing body had to take responsibility for this particular situation.

“We have never played cricket

this late in the season,” Muirhead told the Express. “Normally players are on leave and we have infringed on that break and it happens that it also clashes with the Champions League.”

A notable omission from the 13-man squad announced last Friday was offspinner Sunil Narine who is expected to represent Indian Premier League champions Kolkata Knight Riders in the Champions League Twenty20, which runs from September 13 to October 14 in India.

He will be joined by Jamaica allrounder Andre Russell, who also opted out of consideration for the upcoming series to represent Knight Riders in the Champions League.

“None of the other nations committed to playing in that (Champions League) window,” said Muirhead. “We felt we would not seek to penalise any player.

It’s still Windies first; we are very strong on that.”

Muirhead described the scheduling of

“Bell will not be replaced in the squad for the remaining match.”

England’s defeat in Birmingham means they have lost the series, and will be trying to avoid a 4-0 whitewash in Leeds.

UDFA/Net-Rockers Community Cup U-20 Tournament

Botofago rout Winners Connection, Eagles too hot for Net-Rockers BOTOFAGO Football Club stormed their way into the final of the Upper Demerara Football Association/Net-Rockers Football Club Community Cup Under-20 tournament after they emphatically came from one goal down in the 1st minute of the game to demolish tournament favourite Winners Connection 4-2.

As was expected, Winners Connection scoring machine Marmalique Davidson opened the score sheet with a phenomenal set play just after the whistle was sounded, to signal the start of the game.

However, though it seemed as if it was going to be a walk in the park for Winners Connection, Botofago held their faith, kept their composure and stuck very

well to their game plan which earned them the equaliser in the 20th minute off the boot of the flamboyant Jamol Haynes.

On resumption after the halftime break with the scoreline level, whatever was said by coach Colin Moore brought a new momentum to the eventual winners, as they literally took the game away from Winners Connection, courtesy of a Jevon Bobb 58th minute strike.

Two minuets later, Tevin Thompson added another one to the lead, eyeing the coveted hardware on display. Winners Connection’s Adrian Cadogan with his eyes on the prize as well, ensured that the game was kept alive when he found the back of the net in the 78th minute.

However, Haynes drove the

final nail in Winners Connection’s

Marmalique Davidson coffin with his second goal in the 84th minute earning his team a

well-deserved spot in the final, with the final scoreline reading 4-2.

Meanwhile, in the second semi-final fixture of the day, Eagles United thumped host club Net Rockers 5-2, to set up a showdown with Botofago in the final..

Eagles United drew first blood in the early stage of the game, when Kurt Johnson registered a blistering hat-trick, finding the back of the net in the 5th, 30th and 34th minutes of play, leaving the host club in disarray.

Despite being three goals down, Netrockers bounced back with a goal of their own in the 41st minute, thanks to the versatile Shane Luckie, as they took the lemon-time break with a two-goal deficit, trailing Eagles 3-1.

Ramjeet to set up Foundation in Florida for Berbice cricketers … aims to have more players in Windies team

By Calvin Roberts IN 1966, OSCAR Ramjeet petitioned the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) in his capacity as secretary of the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB), so that the BCB can have more than the two votes they were allowed at annual general meetings of the governing body.

That move by Ramjeet, was well supported by Attorneys-at-Law the late Fred Wills (S.C) and Rex McKay (S.C), two members who were representing the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) and who also needed the BCB’s backing to oust the-then GCB executives.

Last Sunday night, during the hosting of the BCB’s Diamond Jubilee Anniversary Dinner, Ramjeet, in accepting his Tribute to Heroes award from Dr Frank Anthony, said he is setting up a chapter in Florida, USA, to assist more Berbicians in being a permanent figure on the West Indies team.

“This is a move to continue the trend to have more Berbicians in the West Indies team,” said Ramjeet to his audience

When play resumed for the second half, Eagles added another goal, this time off the boot of Kellon Primo in the 67th minute and even though Anthony Layne responded for Netrockers with his 69th minute strike, the game was put out of their reach when Kwesi Quintin found the back of the net for Eagles in the 72nd minute.

Demerara coach Nedd wary of Berbice … Not taking U-19s and E’bo lightly

The Demerara team were caught by Chronicle Sport photographer Adrian Narine playing a game of touch rugby, ahead of their practice session in sweltering heat at the Demerara Cricket Club ground last Tuesday afternoon.

By Calvin Roberts HEAD COACH of the Demerara Cricket Board (DCB) and former national off-spinner Garvin Nedd last Tuesday afternoon informed that he is wary of defending champions Berbice, whom his charges the Christopher Barnwellled Demerara unit would be facing in the Guyana Cricket Board senior Inter-county tournament which bowls off tomorrow.

Also competing in the tournament are perennial whipping boys Essequibo and this year’s successful national Under-19 team which will be led by Brian Sattaur. Nedd stated that he will not be taking these two sides lightly.

Speaking in an invited comment ahead of his team’s practice session at the Demerara Cricket Club ground, the 42-year-old Nedd believes that the composition of the team is one which can go all the way to reclaim the title they lost to their nemesis Berbice in last year’s tournament.

“I think last year we ended as joint winners with Berbice in the limited overs format, while we conceded the four-day title to them, after rain

Garvin Nedd interrupted our final round game, so this year we are looking to come away clear winners of the competition, since I don’t like the idea of shared titles,” said Nedd.

Looking at the composition of the team, which also includes Guyana Amazon Warriors trio, Trevon Griffith, Robin Bacchus and Steven Jacobs, who along with Barnwell were a part of the team for this year’s edition of the Caribbean Premier League, Nedd

said they stand a good chance, even with the vice-captaincy position to though he is not counting out the Barnwell, Nedd is of the opinion opposition. that such responsibility will further “We stand a good chance this enable Wintz to demonstrate not only year to come away as clean winners. his bowling prowess, but leadership We have some capable young players qualities to the necessary authorities. in this form of the game.

“We always know that Berbice … we can beat in the first round and they can come back and defeat us in the final. It is something that we are wary of, especially with that occurring in recent times, so that is one of the areas we are looking to strengthen and ensure we are victorious throughout the tournament.

There is no room for complacency in any of our games, irrespective of who the opposition is.
