Nurses education boosted with CAN $21,000 donation – courtesy Professor Mina Singh in materials PROFESSOR Mina Singh, of York University, Canada, who is currently visiting Guyana, and worked with the Tutor Development Education Programme, in collaboration with the Health Ministry to train nursing tutors, on Friday presented more than CAN $21,000 in books and other educational materials to the Georgetown Nursing School.

Addressing the media at a press conference and presentation at the G e o rg e t o w n S c h o o l o f Nursing, Professor Singh said it was a privilege to make this donation towards the nurses’ development, since it will help to better prepare nurses to empower themselves.

“Whatever I can do in strengthening the knowledge capacity of nurses and also to help with the resources both in books and equipment, I am very happy, whether it’s critical care or mental health.”

Some of the donated items include medical textbooks, baby mannequins, adolescents’ mannequins, and

sitz baths.

Professor Singh added that she is very passionate about nursing studies in Guyana.

“I have seen the passion and enthusiasm among the nursing tutors; they are willing to do the best for the nursing students. I have also seen the excitement in the nursing students. If there is anything that I can do to help improve the nursing education in Guyana, I would love to.”

There were intensive training sessions held by Professor Singh with tutors of the Georgetown, Charles Roza and New Amsterdam Nursing Schools focusing on curriculum, instructional development, measurements and evaluation.

Nursing tutor Gale Swan, expressed gratitude to the Ministry of Health and Professor Singh for this beneficial initiative. She stated that this will not only assist the nurses, but also benefit all Guyanese.

Singh also noted that efforts will be made to develop a master’s degree in nursing at the University of Guyana for nursing tutors.

135,347 ‘Because We Care’ education grants distributed THE Ministry of Education has reported that the distribution of the ‘Because We Care’ $10,000 cash grant has concluded in most of the administrative regions.

Distribution to eight locations in the hinterland and riverine communities has been delayed due to inclement weather among other minor unforeseen circumstances.

Distribution to these areas is expected to be completed by Thursday, December 4.

As of November 25, 2014, the Ministry has recorded a total of 135,347 ‘Because we Care’ $10,000 cash grant vouchers have been distributed. According to Western Union, on Sunday, November 23, 2014, their records indicate that a total of 131,075 vouchers have been encashed at their locations.

Meanwhile, in the areas where only cash was distributed, the Ministry has reported that it has distributed more than $277 M. As the Ministry of Education continues its reconciliation processes to ensure that monies and vouchers are accurately accounted for, it advises parents to make every effort to encash their ‘Because we Care’ $10,000 vouchers by Sunday, November 30.

The ‘Because we Care’ $10,000 cash grant programme is meant to provide more support for parents with school age children and increase the disposable income of parents with school age children with a view to raising enrollment and attendance rates. This is in fact the first programme of its kind in the Caribbean and indeed anywhere else in this part of the world where every public school child is entitled to this benefit.

The ‘Because we Care’ $10,000 cash grant programme was launched on October 11, 2014 in Bartica, Region 7.

Over 20,000 Public Servants, members of the Disciplined Forces granted 5% to 8% salaries increase - retroactive to January 1, 2014

OVER 20,000 Public Servants and Members of the Disciplined Forces have been granted wages and salaries increases for 2014 ranging from 5% to 8% of their wages and salaries as of December 31, 2013, retroactive to January 1, 2014, a statement from the Office of the President said.

The statement added: “In-keeping with the Government of Guyana’s commitment to provide

these increases, Public Servants and Members of the Disciplined Forces earning above $50,000 monthly wages and salaries as of December 31, 2014 are being granted an across the board increase of 5%, while those earning less than $50,000 monthly as at December 31, 2013 would be receiving 8% across the board increase, retroactive to January 1, 2014. “ In addition, teachers earning less than $50,000 monthly

as at December 31, 2013 are being granted an additional 3% across the board increase, on top of the 5% increase already paid to them in keeping with the multi-year agreement concluded with their Union, bringing their total increase to 8%, retroactive to January 1, 2014.”

“Circulars have already been issued to effect the payment of these increases on the wages and salaries for 2014.”

IACHR should not make premature statements – CARICOM Secretary General IN RECENT times, organisations such as the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) have continued to make damning statements against regional Governments based on perception indices, no empirical data and in the absence of affording the said Governments a fair hearing.

And Caribbean Community’s (CARICOM) Secretary-General, Irwin LaRocque, contends that “premature statements” could be an embarrassment.

“Generally speaking, it is a good thing to not comment hastily on issues. I am one who believes you first have to weigh things before you comment. Comment when you think you have all the facts. What guides me in making a statement is that I must have all the facts.

Premature statements could be an embarrassment,” he told the Guyana Chronicle in an interview on Friday

evening.

According to him, CARICOM cannot dictate how bodies deal with issues, but if something offensive has been said, such statements could warrant a

Secretary-General Irwin LaRocque review.

“Each organisation has its way that it deals with issues. If something offensive has been said we would have to look at it,” he said.

DOMESTICALLY ASSESSED On the question of continued engagements between CARICOM member states and bodies like the IACHR, LaRocque was clear in stressing that this would first need to be domestically assessed.

“The IACHR, the constituent members include member states, so the decision as to whether one stays in or out of such a commission is a matter that would first have to be assessed domestically,” he said.

The CARICOM Secretary General’s comments follow questions being asked about how long are CARICOM Governments going to tolerate organisations they support and fund in the lynching of the same Administrations.

This is the question being asked by several political pundits as the InterAmerican Commission on Human Rights (IACHR)

comes under fire for what is being deemed as “premature pronouncements” being seen as not premised on the principles of law, due process or fairness.

This recent contention was expressed following a statement by the Commission calling for the “adoption of precautionary measures for members of Kaieteur News” given that that the three staff members “received threats against their lives and personal integrity as a consequence of their work” as journalists.

T h e C o m m i s s i o n ’s statement followed much hullaballoo over a controversial 19-minute private conversation between a senior reporter at Kaieteur News, Leonard Gildharie, and the AttorneyGeneral and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, which was illegally recorded and made public by Kaieteur News publisher, Mr. Mohan Lall, also called Glen Lall.

The IACHR said: “After

analysing the allegations of fact and law, the Commission believes that the information presented demonstrates prima facie (on initial examination) that the members of the Kaieteur News Journal are in a serious and urgent situation, since their lives and personal integrity face an imminent risk of irreparable harm.”

IGNORING OTHER SIDES Notably, another two

pivotal questions are: how can an organisation of this type and standing, conclude on allegations when only one side is heard; and which j u r i s d i c t i o n ’s l a w w a s examined to arrive at such ‘prima facie’ position.

The Guyana Chronicle understands that this organisation is headed by two distinguished Caribbean jurists, Tracy Robinson and Rose-Marie Belle Antoine.

Egyptian court drops case against Mubarak over 2011 protest deaths security vacuum during the 18-day revolt, but an appeals court ordered a retrial.

His supporters erupted in celebration when the verdicts of that retrial - which also cleared Mubarak’s former interior minister, Habib al-Adly, and six aides - were read out. The defendants had denied the charges.

Supporters outside court, carrying pictures of the exair force officer who dominated the most populous Arab nation for three decades, far outnumbered families of protesters who died in the Tahrir Square revolt that had embodied the hopes of Arab Spring uprisings that

By Ali Abdelaty and Maggie Fick (REUTERS) - AN Egyptian court has dropped its case against former President Hosni Mubarak over the killing of protesters in the 2011 uprising that ended his 30-year rule and symbolized hopes for a new era of political openness and accountability.

Mubarak, 86, was sentenced to life in prison in 2012 for conspiring to murder 239 demonstrators, sowing chaos and creating a

spread through the region.

The judge said criminal charges should never have been brought against Mubarak. The decision can be appealed, however, and the former leader was not freed as he is serving a threeyear jail term in a separate embezzlement case.

Many Egyptians who lived through Mubarak’s rule view it as a period of autocracy and crony capitalism.

His overthrow led to Egypt’s first free election.

But the winner, Mohamed Mursi, was ousted last year by then-army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, following protests against his rule.

fresh measures on Ukrainian rebels.

The European Union and the United States imposed economic sanctions on Russia in late July, targeting the Russian energy, banking and defense sectors to punish Moscow’s support for rebels in eastern Ukraine, the West’s toughest steps yet.

In retaliation, Moscow has banned most Western food imports, worth $9 billion a year.

“We don’t expect anything from our European partners. The only thing we expect is for them to leave the meaningless sanctions spiral and move onto the path of lifting the sanctions and dropping the blacklists,” Russia’s deputy foreign minister, Alexei Meshkov, was quoted as saying by Interfax news agency.

“This, in turn, would allow us to drop our lists.”

The gesture from Moscow came as the European Union imposed sanctions on 13 Ukrainians accused of organising rogue elections in eastern Ukraine on Nov. 2, hitting the separatists and their organisations with asset freezes and travel bans.

Venezuela jail drug overdose kills 35 inmates in Uribana (BBC NEWS) THIRTY-FIVE prisoners in north-west Venezuela have died after overdosing on the contents of a jail infirmary they stormed, a congressman says.

More than 100 others were being treated, 20 of whom were very ill, said lawmaker William Ojeda from the governing Socialist Party.

After breaking into the facility, the prisoners are reported to have consumed a variety of medicines.

They had been protesting about conditions in the jail.

Mr Ojeda said the inmates at Uribana prison near the north-western city of Barquisimeto had ingested a combination of anti-seizure drugs, insulin, antibiotics and hypertension treatments.

Fugitive NZ murderer Phillip Smith deported from Brazil (BBC NEWS) A NEW Zealand man serving a life term for child molestation and murder who fled to Brazil has been deported to his home country, officials say.

Phillip Smith, 40, was escorted by police officers onto a plane that left Rio de Janeiro for Auckland via the Chilean capital, Santiago.

Smith used a passport in his birth name, Phillip Traynor, to fly to Chile and then on to Brazil on 6 November.

He escaped while on a three-day release from a prison south of Auckland.

Smith was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1996 after he murdered the father of a 13-year-old boy he had sexually abused between 1992 and 1995.

The family had moved house but he had tracked the boy to their new home in Wellington in December 1995.

He repeatedly stabbed the father, killing him.

The boy managed to escaped and raise the alarm.

The release of Gen Ruben Dario Alzate and the other hostages had been expected a few days ago.

But the rebels cancelled the operation because of heavy military presence in the area where they are being held.

The kidnappings prompted President Juan Manuel Santos to suspend peace talks with the rebels being held in Cuba.

On Tuesday, the Farc released two soldiers - Paulo Cesar Rivera and Jonathan Andres Diaz - it had kidnapped on 9 November in the eastern border region of Arauca.

Gen Alzate was captured on 16 September along with a Cpl Jorge Rodriguez and a lawyer, Gloria Urrego, in Choco province, an isolated jungle region in Colombia’s Pacific Coast.

Editorial

Guyana

Politics makes strange bedfellows ONE would have thought that a man who claims to be an uncompromising believer in Cheddi Jagan’s legacy and also one who claims to love this country dearly, would have pledged to help developing this country and move it along the path of peace, progress and prosperity. But instead he has pledged to work with APNU against the PPP. However, he did not have to make such a pledge because ever since he has lost out on becoming the PPP’s presidential candidate, he has been doing this because of the bitterness and a thwarted ego. And since that time his every political action and behaviour

have been guided by that bitterness and thwarted ego - a strange reaction for man who claims to be an uncompromising believer in Cheddi Jagan’s legacy because Dr. Jagan never had bitterness against anyone, nor was he guided by an ego and lust for power.

Despite the horrible things that were done by his political opponents (both local and foreign) he never exhibited bitterness and hatred, as most truly great people never do. He had always put the people and his country first and although he led the struggle for independence and should have been the first Prime Minister of an independent Guy-

Structural poverty still exists in America I CAME across some interesting facts about race relations in the United States of America which certainly do not speak well of the American society from a sociological perspective.

According to the article, less than ten percent of Blacks in the United states complete a university degree even though Blacks have higher levels of education attainment rates at pre-university levels.

According to the article, there are only two Black millionaires in the USA compared to nearly a thousand non-Blacks. Over ten percent of Blacks are unemployed compared to less than five percent among whites.

In almost every indicator of social and economic progress Whites outnumber Blacks and coloured by a significant margin.

What the statistics indicate is that there still exists what economists refer to as structural poverty which militates against Blacks and other minority groups despite talks about America being the land of opportunity in which all Americans regardless of colour or creed are provided with equal opportunity to grow and develop.

In this regard, President Obama must be given credit for taking executive action to regularise the status of illegal immigrants who work hard to develop the American economy but benefit disproportionally in terms of the distribution of social and economic goods and services.

HYDAR ALLY

ana, he demonstrated utmost magnanimity when he welcomed independence under another party.

But this gentleman’s thirst for power began with his spurious claim that Dr. Jagan had anointed him to be the next president.

Strangely Dr. Jagan seemed to have told no other one in the party’s leadership.

The gentleman at his party’s recent press conference said: “We have decided to work with APNU and all other patriotic, political, business, labour, religious, human rights, women, youth…in a broad fight against the PPP minority regime.”

So the cards have been laid bare and it

is clear now that the sole intention of this gentleman is the removal of the PPP-led government-even it means collaborating with those who had imposed a dictatorial government through rigged elections and intimidation, which resulted in the destruction of this country. At that time, this gentleman had vehemently condemned and opposed those very people which he is now in bed with-further reinforcing the old adage: “Politics makes strange bedfellows.”

In the past the Guyanese people have made the right choice and they will do so again when they get that opportunity, which does not seem to be long from now.

AFC is a doomed party

THE people said it in clear cut tones “we are not voting for the AFC, they have misused our votes.” These words were uttered time and time again to, yours truly, who is a Berbician long before Guyana Times Newspaper or Oscar Ramjeet ever brought this to light. We in Berbice knew this well in advance, the festering hurt of a party that has betrayed the people. They used their votes to team up with the public’s enemy, the PNC/APNU. As one convert to the AFC remarked-to even entertain the idea of that party gaining power “I am going to sell everything and go back to the U.S. even if it means begging for a refugee status.”

“I am going back there ... it will be the end of Guyana, I cannot trust these people.”

She further explained that all the strides that we’ve made these last 22 years would have gone down the gutter. It means that those gains in education, wages and salaries, in healthcare, infrastructure and freedom of speech would come to naught. Right now, I can go into a supermarket and buy anything I want. This will soon end if they take over. And this is the frightening part of her testimony a return of the PNC/ APNU means that we would have seen the last election; we must be prepared to say goodbye to free and fair elections.

This cannot happen I would move earth and heaven to keep these people out.

Now, these are the words that Ramjattan and Nagamootoo do not want to hear, in fact they have responded by saying that the PPP/C is driving fear into the hearts and minds of the people and playing the race card. But this is furthest from the truth, the PPP/C do not have to forment strife among the people, the people themselves are the best judge. Look at what they say and juxtapose this with the resultant action and it becomes crystal clear what is going on.

You cannot tell me that you can gang-up with the PNC/ APNU at every turn voting down developmental schemes that should benefit the people of this country and expect me to vote for you. Outrageous! When you can openly deny young people the right to acquire a loan to obtain a decent tertiary education that takes the cake. By denying the youth the right to a decent education tells the world you are downright callous

and heartless and these are the people who want to rule over us? It will not happen. As one person puts if the AFC think we are a dumb set of individuals then think again.

Even if we should take the “race fear of the PNC or the divide and rule tactic of the PPP/C” put forward by the AFC one would find large gaping loopholes in that theory. Statistics from the 2011 election shows that it was the “Indian vote” that made the difference. It was the Indian section of the population that swung their votes in favour of the AFC that made the difference.

History was created in Guyana when devout PPP/C supporters voted for another party causing them to gain 7 seats in Parliament. It dispels the myth that Guyanese only vote along racial lines.

On the other hand the so called Black vote never changed hands from the traditional belief in the PNC, they never changed their vote. So, making out a race argument for the AFC just does not make any sense at all.

What Nagamootoo and Ramjattan are not telling the people is that the people are reacting in a very certain fashion because they have lost confidence in them. And once voters distrust you, you are doomed. The AFC is a doomed party and they know it, no amount of damage control can change their status now.

The PPP/C needs to capitalise on that void created by the AFC, they need to get down to the arduous task of mending fences. One sure way in doing this is fixing the roads in Region 6 like putting lights on the access road on the eastern end of the Berbice Bridge. Install street lights along the Number 19 Road. Another way the PPP/C can reach out to the people is to lower the Berbice toll. I would suggest lowering the toll from $2300 to $2000, a minimal change but nonetheless sends a strong message to the “small man” that you care for them. The rich in their SUV’s and other luxury vehicles should remain the same, they do not travel often and secondly they can afford it. Let the small hire car or taxi driver get some reprieve as he ekes out a living.

Respect and acceptance of each other’s culture is critical to National Development

By Keith Burrowes

OVER the past five years these articles I have on several occasions addressed the issue of Tolerance and will continue in the future. I recently saw a TV documentary addressing this issue. It follows the lives of several people of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds and explores how they interact with each other. The main message is about the ‘collisions’ the characters have with each other throughout a particular timeline.

Tolerance is broader than the narrow field of racial tolerance or intolerance. Tolerance at its most basic level is more an issue of culture than it is any one thing. The one flaw which was present in all the characters in the story was not that they possessed any inherent unshakeable prejudice – it was their lack of cultural education.

My perspective on cultural education in Guyana may perhaps be limited to my own personal sphere of experience. That being

said, I think that, judging from how our society is, how people in Guyana perceive each other, something else or something more needs to be done on how we educate our children and by extension our society about the various cultures which co-exist here.

One may be quick to envisage an upgraded cultural education component within the current social studies curriculum. The problem with this approach however is that cradling cultural education within the competitive academic environment of our primary and secondary system will very likely take away from the intent of the programme in the first place.

Another problem with the concept of a cultural education system being embedded within the official curriculum is that in Guyana, culture is largely underpinned by religion. Not that a religious-cultural combination is inherently problematic in itself – the great cultures of the world all have a strong and distinct spiritual or theological aspect to them, which incidentally informs

7 Keith Burrowes

there demographic representation is not equal, representation on each front is very strong. Therefore, to present information on religion-informed cultures within the official curriculum would leave the system open to allegations of proselytising on all sides. The question would quite reasonably be asked of where exactly would be the dividing line between indoctrination and education.

Cultural education has to take place primarily in the home, with assistance being provided through direct programmes with some institution, perhaps the Ethnic Relations Commission. One other thing parents may be able to do is keep an artifact or two from a religion that isn’t the family faith in their homes. These can act as conversation pieces for growing children and reinforce their understanding of other cultures as adults, without compromising the family faith.

Perhaps the mass media can be involved. For example, recently I’ve started watching African and Indian movies which are broadcast on local television. I would

an ongoing effort in Guyana to have young children in particular understand and appreciate the varying cultures that exist in society.

Not that attempts at cultural education haven’t been tried before and don’t continue up to this day. My point though is that the appreciation of other people’s cultures in Guyana – within the cultural education/appreciation paradigm – has to a great degree evolved into token representation or symbolic reenactment of events.

So, for example, we learn about African culture every August or about Amerindian culture every September. We learn about Diwali and Eid once a year as well. What we are doing is shoving education about cultures that have individually undergone thousands of years of development and evolution into a day or a week or a month of activity.

Additionally, this education is not progressive; the event-based nature of our mode of cultural education causes it to be necessarily limited and repetitive. The end result is that we really are not learning fully from the meth-

like to commend whoever is undertaking to air them, and it’s clear that the agenda behind the airings goes beyond entertainment, because I have been able to learn so much about African and Indian culture because of these movies. They have served to enhance of my perspective of Africa and India. As a side note if this comes across as a bit of product placement endorsement for the movie industry, it isn’t.

Whatever the methods, there needs to be

ods of public cultural education.

In closing, I would like to state emphatically that people have to co-exist. You cannot fundamentally change anyone’s culture and you should not seek to. Too often when we engage in cultural discussions, it is within a framework where each side thinks that the other has to accept its view as prerequisite to further engagement. Tolerance is less about accepting, than it is about understanding.

Laden wanted in 2001. (He hoped for an American invasion of Afghanistan, but he got an unexpected bonus in the US invasion of Iraq.)

The ISIS videos of Western hostages being beheaded are intended to get Western countries involved in the fight against them, because that’s how you build local support. So far, the strategy is working just fine.

The “Global Terrorism

The purpose of major terrorist activities directed at the West, from the 9/11 attacks to ISIS videos, is not to “cow” or “intimidate” Western countries. It is to get those countries to bomb Muslim countries or, better yet, invade them. The terrorists want to come to power in Muslim countries, not in Canada or Britain or

Index”, published annually by the Institute for Economics and Peace, reported last week that fatalities due to terrorism have risen fivefold in the 13 years since the 9/11 attacks, despite the US-led “war on terror” that has spent $4.4 trillion on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and anti-terrorist operations elsewhere. But it’s not really “despite” those wars.

It’s largely because of them.

The invasions, the drone strikes in Pakistan,

large. 3,361 people were killed by terrorism in 2000; 17,958 were killed by it last year.

At least 80 percent of these people were Muslims, and the vast majority of those who killed them were also Muslims: the terrorists of Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq and Syria, Boko Haram in Nigeria, the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and al-Qaeda and its offspring in other parts of the world (like al-Shebab in north-east Africa).

That is not to say that terrorism is a particularly Muslim technique. Its h i s t o r i c a l ro o t s l i e i n European struggles against oppressive regimes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and it gained huge currency in liberation struggles against the European colonial empires after the Second World War. Even the Stern Gang in Israel and the Irish Republican Army can be seen as part of this wave.

Later waves of fashion in terrorism included the European, Latin American and Japanese “urban terrorist” movements of the 1970s and 80s – BaaderMeinhof Gang in Germany, R e d B r i g a d e s i n I t a l y, Montoneros in Argentina, Japanese Red Army and so on – none of which has any political success at all. Specifically “Islamic” terrorism really began only in the 1990s, with the rise of radical, anachronistic forms of Sunni Islam.

Only about 5 percent of the victims of this latest wave of terrorism lived in developed countries, but it was their deaths, and their governments’ ignorant responses to them, that provided the fuel for the spectacular growth of jihadi extremism. So what can be done about it?

The Global Terrorism Index has some useful observations to offer about that, too. It points out that a great many terrorist organisations have actually gone out of business in the past 45 years. Only 10 percent of them actually won, took power, and disbanded their terrorist wings. And only 7 percent were eliminated by the direct application of

military force.

EIGHTY percent of them were ended by a combination of better policing and the creation of a political process that addressed the grievances of those who supported the terrorism. You don’t fix the problem by fighting poverty or raising educational levels; that kind of thing has almost nothing to do with the rise of terrorism.

You have to deal with the particular grievances that obsess specific ethnic, religious or political groups.

“WE will not be cowed by these sick terrorists,” said British Prime Minister David Cameron after ISIS produced a grisly video of the mass beheading of Syrian captives by foreign jihadis who allegedly included British fighters. “We will not be intimidated,” said Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper after the recent attacks in Montreal and Ottawa. As if the purpose of terrorist attacks in Western countries was to cow and intimidate them.

You hear this sort of rhetoric from Western leaders all the time, but Harper went further, and demonstrated exactly how they get it wrong. “(This) will lead us to...redouble our efforts to work with our allies around the world and fight against the terrorist organisations who brutalise those in other countries with the hope of bringing their savagery to our shores.

‘The UNAIDS Gap Report (UNAIDS, 2014) indicates that 19 million of the 35 million people living with HIV are unaware that they are stricken with HIV. The UNAIDS Executive Director Dr. Michel Sidibé in his World AIDS Day 2014 message talked about disintegrating the epidemic permanently. He noted the urgency of accessing the people left behind - young women and adolescent girls, men having sex with men, migrants, prisoners, sex workers, and people who inject drugs.’

DECEMBER 1, 2014 is World AIDS Day 2014, and the UNAIDS Gap Report (UNAIDS, 2014) indicates that 19 million of the 35 million people living with HIV are unaware that they are stricken with HIV. The UNAIDS Executive Director, Dr. Michel Sidibé in his World AIDS Day 2014 message talked about disintegrating the epidemic permanently. He noted the urgency of accessing the people left behind - young women and adolescent girls, men having sex with men, migrants, prisoners, sex workers, and people who inject drugs. Dr. Sidibé explained that reaching these key populations requires strengthened health systems and Fast-Track Targets as 90-90-90 where by 2020, 90% of people living with HIV would know of their status, 90% who are HIV+ would be on treatment, and 90% on treatment would have reduced viral loads. Today, I present my published paper on provider referral and contact referral as mechanisms for the notification of HIV and AIDS as part of the process of reaching key populations.

Commentary Partner Notification as a Prevention Strategy: A Social System Perspective Part 1

By PREM MISIR, Ph.D. This paper was published: Misir, P., 1999. AIDS PATIENT CARE and STDs, 13(6), pp.327-334).

ABSTRACT Provider referral and contact referral are two established means to provide notification of contagious, but treatable diseases, as has been done for tuberculosis and sexually transmitted diseases (e.g., syphilis). Because AIDS is at this time an incurable disease, programmes of notification have proved highly controversial. The author examines recent adjustments to the New York State public health law regarding HIV/AIDS notification mechanisms. A literature review supports further discussion of ethical and partner notification issues as they bear on the perception and objections of various constituencies, stigmatization, and principles of confidentiality.

Both U.S. and Swedish strategies to partner notification are outlined as well as why these schemes may not be interchangeable based on culture differences; points for general improvement are drawn from this comparison. A social system perspective based on the social functions of adaptation, goal attainment, integration, and latency (pattern maintenance) is introduced as a means to address the barriers inherent in HIV/AIDS notification programmes and to enhance counseling programmes—the objective being that knowledge and understanding of the patient’s culture and social context can give providers additional tools with which to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS and bring people to treatment earlier.

INTRODUCTION “Despite the well-established role of public health departments in identifying and notifying the sexual contacts

of those reported to have venereal diseases, this strategy of intervention-designed to break the chain of disease transmission-played no role to the early response to AIDS.” 1. Identifying and notifying sexual contacts of those stricken with HIV has proven to be controversial, largely as a result of its incurable status and the stigma attached to it. Notification of a disease is carried out through patient referral where the patient informs his/her partners, by provider referral (also called “contact tracing”), where the public health department notifies the sexual partners, and by contract referral, where the client is encouraged to notify his her partners, on condition that the healthcare worker will trace any partner who does not contact the clinic within a contracted time period.

Partner notification has been utilised as a standard health practice for combating the transmission of treatable sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) since 1937 and has worked well.

At that time, partner notification was used to halt the spread of syphilis.

2. Today, the scourge of HIV demands a more comprehensive, effective, and rapid implementation of partner notification as public health policy.

The term “partners” refers to sex partners and injecting drug users (IDUs) who engage in needle-sharing. Research data demonstrates a growing interest in partner notification with many states and constituencies acknowledging its efficacy in contributing to constraining the spread of HIV. The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations suggest that public health department staff should inform known partners in cases where an HIV-infected patient refuses to comply.

New York State recently reinforced its partner notification mechanisms through the passage of an act to amend the public health law, pertaining to HIV infection and reporting cases of this infection to spouses and known sexual partners.

3. This law was enacted on July 7, 1998 and covers the following provisions on the duty to report and the procedure of contact tracing: • Every physician or other personnel authorised by law to arrange for diagnostic tests, or provide a medical diagnosis, or any laboratory administering this test, shall immediately upon first diagnosis that the person is HIV-infected, or upon first diagnosis that a person is assailed with AIDS, or upon first diagnosis that a person is beset with HIV-related illness, report such case to the Health Commissioner.

• Every Health Commissioner, upon establishing that such reported case, or other identified known case of HIV infection, justifies contact tracing, shall personally inform the known contacts of the protected person.

• The contact shall be notified of the characteristics of HIV, the known viral transmission routes, risks of prenatal and

perinatal transmission, actions the person can effect to further reduce viral transmission, and community-based organizations (CBOs) accessible to the person that dispense counselling, medical care and treatment, and additional information of other appropriate services for HIV-infected persons.

• Any physician or other public health personnel effecting this notification must make the notification in person.

The New York State law provides mechanisms for the use of provider referral, and no opportunity is given to the patient to inform contacts about the infection status. Greater utilisation is made of public health personnel outside of clinic settings to achieve provider referral. However, at the core of partner notification are the issues of ethics and law.

Tuesday 25 US$41,000 CPGI projects commissioned in Canal Nos.1 & 2 THE US$41,000 Canal Polders Green Initiative (CPGI) project was commissioned by Local Government Minister, Norman Whittaker and CARILED representatives. Whittaker plugged the initiative as a great achievement. “Guyana is heavily dependent on agriculture both as a source of food and also a source of income and a source of revenue for the country,” the Minister said, adding that “our focus over many decades has been what we call the traditional crops: sugar [and] rice.”

He added: “But our Government determined many years ago that it is not the best thing to put all your eggs in one basket.”

Sugar production now stands at 199,000 tonnes THE sugar production target for 2014 is likely to be met, according to GuySuCo Human Resource Director, Mr. Jairam Pitam, who added that production stands at 199,000 tonnes.

He also told this newspaper that last week’s torrential rains caused some estates to lose three days but operations have resumed. “We did not have any losses in terms of the actual crop, what we lost was three days, three opportunity days, but operations have resumed and we are hoping that once the weather holds harvesting will continue and we will be able to meet the target,” Pitam said. The overall target for 2014 was moved from 216,000 tonnes to 219,000 tonnes. The first crop was successful, surpassing the 75,000 tonnes target, bringing in about 80,000 tonnes.

You did not tell your five-year-old son (who was present in court) you are sorry. Throughout the trial you have been talking about something nasty. You seem to have a fantasy. And it is ironic where you will be going for a long time.” ‘Mikey’ was on trial for the December 2011 murder of his then 21-year-old reputed wife, ‘Sharda’, of Lot 8 Sophia, Greater Georgetown.

Friday 28 Ombudsman either ‘ignored’ or ‘disregarded’ sub-judice principle THE Ombudsman, Justice (rtd) Winston Moore, has publicly admitted that the controversial 25-page report on a $69M fraud case at the New Building Society (NBS) in 2006 was

leaked.

However, Head of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS), Dr. Roger Luncheon, maintains that the primary issue revolves around whether or not the former judge “ignored” or “disregarded” the sub-judice principle, given that the matter is currently attracting the attention of the High Court. The report addresses what has been termed by the Ombudsman as “wrongful” fraud charges against the NBS former Chief Executive Officer, Maurice Arjoon and two former senior managers, Kent Vincent and Kissoon Baldeo. The fraud was said to have been committed in late 2006.

As this process in ongoing, La Rocque said Caricom continues to look forward to the creation of the Business Council.

“In the mean time, I proposed and the ministers agreed that COTED will engage the Caribbean Association of Industry and Commerce pending the creation of the CBC.” Further, he added that even with new threats emerging, including, health, geopolitical and climate change, the private sector needs to critically examine enterprise on a regular basis to ensure that it is efficient, effective, and relevant, and meeting the needs of the market.

In the interim, Caricom’s strategic plan will continue to focus on economic, social, environmental and technological

overall growth despite the many challenges.

“The Guyanese economy has been consistent in recording the 5% average growth over the past five years. The main sectors contributing are gold and diamond, wholesale and retailing trade, rice and seafood, building and construction and communication technology.”

All this, he noted, has been achieved in spite of the effects of the global economic crisis still lingering.

Among the companies awarded were, Sterling Products Limited for their longstanding services to the agro-processing sector, Banks DIH limited for their determination to certify every plant, Edward B. Beharry for the effective energy management through the introduction of new and innovative technology, Gafsons and R. Bassoo and sons for their contribution to the building and construction sector.

Prime Minister Samuel Hinds presents the President’s Award to Superior Shingles Wood Products’ representative, George Bulkan achievements amidst the trying times, La Rocque pointed out that the country’s economy continues to grow at a pace that leads the Region.

The sentiments were expressed on Friday evening as the Secretary General delivered the feature address at the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association’s (GMSA) annual dinner and awards ceremony at the Princess Hotel.

“According to the Caribbean Development Bank, Guyana is one of only three Caricom member states to exceed the global average of 3 % growth in 2013.”

Guyana is also one of five CARICOM countries with debt to GDP ratio below the international benchmark of 60%, while export from Guyana to the rest of the community has been growing by approximately 10% per year.

“These are all positive indicators, but to sustain them here and elsewhere we must continue to enhance regional cooperation cross a broad range of fronts, economically, socially, and in every other way.”

The Secretary General reminded the members of the private sector of their role in sustaining this growth.

In noting his delight at being invited to such an auspicious event, La Rocque congratulated the recipients who were awarded in the areas of export achievement, new and innovative technology and those for life time and long service.

“You all have reason to be proud of your achievements, your enterprises, and your efforts as promoting Guyanese goods and services.”

Having conceded that much has changed in Guyana, Caricom, and the rest of the world, La Rocque said the Community has devised a five-year strategic plan to aid its member states amidst these changes. He reminded that Caricom has begun a process of reform, a critical part of which is the five- year strategic plan which was approved in July of this year.

He noted the persistence of the private sector in its request for a seat in the councils of the Caribbean community.

“I have heard you, our leaders have heard you, last July the Heads of Government and the captains of industry had a frank exchange on the challenges facing our Region.”

Further, La Rocque said that COTED has recognised the private sector as a partner and agreed that it must take part in the deliberations in some way.

Divisional Commander visits family of dead man allegedly beaten in police custody

FOLLOWING the death of fisherman, Asif Rahim, of Meten-Meer-Zorg, West Coast Demerara, after he was hospitalised nursing multiple injuries he claimed he received while in police custody at Leonora Police Station, the divisional commander and a team visited the man’s widow and children on Friday.

Divisional Commander Senior Superintendent, Ian Amsterdam, accompanied by Pastor Winston Assannah and Pastor Deryck Anderson of the Cops and Faith Community Network and other ranks of the division, visited the home of Asif Rahim, where they met with his reputed wife, Sursattie Chandrapaul, children, and other relatives.

Amsterdam sympathised with the family while expressing concern over the allegations surrounding Asif Rahim’s demise and assured the family and relatives that every effort will be made to ensure that the investigations are completed as early as practicable, while the religious leaders offered words of comfort to them.

Rahim died on November 27, 2014, amidst allegations that he was assaulted by the police while in custody over the last weekend.

The matter is being investigated by the Police Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR).

Rahim, 38, a father of four, was arrested on 22:00hrs on November 22, 2014 following a report filed.

GDF AWOL rank involved in LBI robbery dies

KEVIN David of Agricola, who, along with another man had robbed a La Bonne Intention housewife of over half a million dollars at gunpoint, died at the Georgetown Public Hospital on Friday evening.

David had gone AWOL (Absent Without Leave) from the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) for some time, as confirmed by head of the GDF Brigadier, Mark Phillips, when approached by this publication for a comment.

On Friday November

18, David along with an accomplice, Trillion Munroe o f Tu c b e r P a r k , N e w Amsterdam, were pursued and captured by relatives and other persons from the East Coast community after they had committed the robbery at Cherry Field on 37- yearold, Jasdai Persaud, just as she had entered her yard moments after returning from a city bank.

However, persons who were on the scene related that the woman and her husband had just returned home when two men rode up

on a motorcycle, one raced into the yard and snatched a bag with the money from the woman.

Persaud raised an alarm and her husband rushed to the men, but the pillion rider reportedly fired a shot in his direction, causing him to retreat.

However, the woman’s two brothers who were at separate locations in the area were also alerted about the robbery.

The men then attempted to pursue the bandits but had experienced difficulty

stopping them as they fired shots in the direction of the woman’s relatives. Persaud’s brothers then rammed the car into the bandits’ motorcycle, pinning one of them under the vehicle while the other was pitched several yards away and lay unconscious.

The police were then called in.

On their arrival, the police retrieved a GDF identification card from David, as well as the bag containing the money and an unlicensed .32 revolver.

Jaswah Ramlall stands on the newly constructed Third Street in No.64 Village, Berbice, Region 6

Road constructed by CRIP improving lives of No. 64 residents SHELTERING from the heavy downpour, 73-yearold, Jaswah Ramlall stands proudly on the newly constructed Double Bitumen Surface Treatment (DBST) road at No.64 Village, Berbice, Region 6.

Through all the previous rainy seasons known to her, standing on Third Street, was an unwelcome

scenario.

Prior to construction, Third Street, a mud dam, was slushy and had puddles during the wet weather. Even with favourable weather conditions, drivers opted not to traverse the dam.

This made life difficult for residents, particularly the elderly like Ramlall, children, and the lone shopkeeper in

the street.

Last June, the Ministry of Housing and Water through the Community Roads Improvement Programme (CRIP), inked a $74M contract with K.P Jagdeo General Contractor to upgrade the roads in No.64 Village.

This was the first time any works would be executed

on the mud dam. While the other roads were upgraded from either crusher run to DBST surface or DBST to asphaltic concrete, Third Street was constructed with a DBST surface.

The project’s aims of providing residents with better access to places of worship, health, educational and other socio-economic

facilities, and opening up of opportunities for the private sector are already being realised.

Another resident, Sookdai Bhola, is elated with the construction of the road. “Whenever it rain dem children have to roll up dem uniform, hold dem shoes and socks in dem hand and walk out in the mud…when dem reach road den dem a wash dem foot and put on their footwear to go to school,” she said.

“Vehicles never used to come in here…when you have a sick you have to fetch that person till you reach the good road…I’m really happy we get dis road…Is since I born and grow here now we get a road,” Bhola added.

According to a shopkeeper, residents of Third Street were somewhat separated from the rest of the community. Vans transporting goods to supply small businesses were reluctant to traverse the mud dam.

“When dem van come my husband does have to tek the bicycle and ride go buy goods…sometimes he have to make six trips just to stock up the shop…

Now with the road dem van a come till to de shop,” the shopkeeper exulted.

Amidst their excitement, residents are faced with

the task of protecting the structure from heavy-duty agricultural machinery.

Farming is a major economic activity in their community and prohibiting agricultural machinery from entering the community would put many residents at a disadvantage.

To protect the new road the Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) and residents have placed road barriers, effectively preventing tractors with caged wheels from using the road.

“We neva had road now we get road we have to care it…We can’t let dem use dem machine and destroy our road…It have other place dem can drive to come in… here is a residential area…

Dem can park dem machine out of the community,” the shopkeeper stressed.

According to No.52/74 NDC Chairman, Reshram Moti, the NDC is satisfied with the standard of work done by the contractor and the level of oversight/ monitoring provided by the Project Management Unit of CRIP. Maintaining the integrity of the structure is a priority of the NDC and residents. He noted that the NDC is thankful to the Government for upgrading the structures, since the NDC does not have the financial and technical capabilities to undertake such tasks. (Ministry of Housing)

However, the GPF has issued a press statement to the effect that at about 18:40hrs on November 26, 2014, a female resident of the East La Penitence Squatting Area reported to the police at the East La Penitence Police Station that an unidentified man of East Indian descent was in the canal south of the station and (was) shouting for “help”.

Several police ranks, including a subordinate officer, responded. With the use of flashlights, as it was dark, and assistance from residents of the community, who were met at the scene, the police made efforts to locate the man in the canal.

Their efforts were, however, unsuccessful, even though a member of the community also went into the canal and carried out a search.

Police said the body of the so-far-unidentified man was recovered in the canal at about 07:00hrs on November 28, 2014, and is at the Lyken Funeral Parlour.

A section of customers that gathered at GWI Head Office yesterday to pay up said their desire not to be without water for the festive Christmas season is what prompted them to show up at the GWI to make the necessary payments.

And they were even more motivated when they saw the advertisement on television featuring Michael Ignatius.

GWI said that most of the customers who

visited the office yesterday entered the ‘Water Friendly Payment Plan’, having not made any payments to the GWI since early this year.

CAHFSA expected to increase intra-regional trade in food, agri products

By Clifford Stanley THE Caribbean Agricultural Health and Food Safety Agency (CAHFSA) will drive greater CARICOM trade in food and agricultural products, giving impetus to the Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME) as well as increasing the Region’s share of the global trade in these products.

CAHFSA will ensure a harmonised regional approach to intra-regional trade in agricultural produce, agricultural health and food safety.

The long awaited CAHFSA has been fully operationalised.

This announcement came on the heels of a meeting of the Board of Directors of CAHFSA at the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat from November 17-19, 2014.

Welcoming the announcement, a reliable local source said that the work of the board will be significant for intra-regional trade in agricultural products, because CAHFSA is the agency which the Region will depend on to strengthen agricultural health and food safety, and ensure the highest standards for such trade.

He said: “Sections of the private sector in Guyana have longed complained about difficulties they have faced in seeking access to regional markets for goods produced here.

They have gone so far as to name some CARICOM territories which they say, have been seeking to maximise their own intraregional exports while blocking imports from Guyana, using Non-Tariff Measures [NTMs].”

He said that CAHFSA will devise arrangements to eliminate the abuse of Sanitary and Phyto-Sanitary (SPS) measures such as deliberate administrative delays in the clearance of perishable agricultural goods.

The Chairman of the Board is Ms. Audine Mootoo of Trinidad and Tobago.

Other members are: Dr. Helena Browne of Antigua-Barbuda; Dr. Beverley Wood of Barbados; Mr. Emir Cruz of Belize; Mr. Ryan Anselm of Dominica; Dr. Bowen Louisan of Grenada; Dr. Max Millien of Haiti; Mr. Thomas Jackson of St. Kitts-Nevis; Dr. Auria King of Saint Lucia; Dr. Kathian Hackshaw of St. Vincent and the Grenadines; Mr. Rajendrekoemar Debie of Suriname; Ms. Sheila Harvey of Jamaica; Mr. Claude Brown of Montserrat and Dr. Dindyal Permaul of Guyana.

Agricultural Health and Food Safety has been identified by the Ministerial Council of Trade and Economic Development (COTED) as a key thematic area that must be addressed

to remove the non-tariff measures (NTMs) that impede the trade of agricultural products both intra-regionally and extra-regionally.

The CAHFSA was decided on in 2010 when CARICOM member states agreed to establish it, given the importance of agriculture as a key driver of the Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME).

CAHFSA’s operations will be vital to fulfilling the provisions of the Treaty of Chaguaramas, which calls for the establishment of effective SPS regimes and for the harmonisation of laws, administrative practices and procedures with respect to agriculture.

A source at the CARICOM Secretariat last week disclosed that the board has been working closely with the Secretariat in developing the rules and procedures, the administrative structure and the strategic plan for CAHFSA. The Chief Executive Officer of CAHFSA, Mr. Lindley Collins, was appointed during Caribbean Week of Agriculture (CWA) 2014, which was held in Suriname where CAHFSA’s offices are located.

In a brief interview at the CWA 2014, Mr. Collins indicated that among his priorities would be the establishment of an operational plan that will secure the Region’s agricultural health and ensured its citizens of safe and healthy food.

He added that this would entail, inter alia, the updating and harmonisation of laws across the Community, the strengthening of national institutions and physical facilities and the training of personnel to allow the Region to effect Articles 57 and 74 of the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas to meet its obligations under the World Trade Organisation (WTO) SPS requirements.

The WTO SPS agreement requires that countries conform to SPS laws, standards and guidelines that are internationally recognised.

Workforce training and the upgrading of national laboratories to conduct the required tests are among the priorities.

In its inception stages, the agency will benefit from the 10th European Development Fund (EDF) Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) SPS Programme (‘SPS Measures’ and ‘SPS Measures for Fisheries’) funded by the European Union (EU).

This programme is being implemented by the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) on behalf of CARIFORUM, with the CARICOM Secretariat, and the Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM) as the key co–implementers for CARICOM.

GAPSO highlights safety tips for Christmas season

THE holiday season is here and as local stores and shoppers gear up for the annual Christmas commercial season, the Guyana Association of Private Security Organisations, (GAPSO), is reminding shoppers to take extra precautions for the “Grinchy criminals” who prey on distracted shoppers.

GAPSO recommends keeping a close eye on your purses, handbags and wallets while you shop, and particularly to remain aware of your surroundings. It is a joyous season, but it is also the season to be wary of burglars, thieves, conartists and other “holiday grinches.”

Nothing can ruin the holiday spirit faster than becoming a victim of crime. Here are some tips to remember when you’re

out shopping this season: • Stay alert of your surroundings at all times and don’t get overloaded with too many packages. Use your third sense.

• Pickpockets operate most successfully in crowds.

Be extra careful with purses and wallets. Carry a purse under your arm and keep wallets in an inside jacket pocket, not a back trouser pocket.

• Do not count your money while walking or shopping.

• Beware of strangers approaching you for any reason(s). Con-artists may try various methods of distracting you with the intention of taking your money or belongings.

• Avoid talking on your cellphone as you walk through the market, shopping centres and malls. It can leave you distracted and vulnerable.

• Always park in a welllit and well-travelled area. Be prepared with your car keys in hand, so you can enter your vehicle without delay.

• When you are shopping with children, make a plan in case you become separated from them.

• Never leave packages or valuables in plain sight in your vehicle. If you must store items in your car, the best place is a locked trunk.

• Shop online with companies you know and trust. Check a company’s background if you’re not familiar with it. Remember, if it seems too good to be true, it usually is.

GAPSO would also like to remind drivers during this holiday season to buckle up, drive safely, pay close attention to the road and look out for pedestrians. Because there

will be more drinking going on during the holidays, various Christmas socials and gatherings and an increase in nightlife choices, there will consequently be more drinking and driving going on during the holidays. GAPSO is therefore pleading with motorists to be responsible and don’t drink and drive.

If you do drink, designate a sober driver or take a taxi or public transportation.

GAPSO’s Crime Prevention efforts are meant

to strengthen the partnership among our members, the police and the community that they serve. We hope that together, we can make our communities safer.

GAPSO is the leading professional association of security practitioners in Guyana, promoting the highest standards through advocacy, collaboration, education, and the promotion of high ethical standards in the operation and management of security services within Guyana.

Our members represent virtually every industry in the public and private sectors, and organisations of all sizes. GAPSO provides exceptional member service, on-going education, and advocacy and business solutions for its members.

We strive to advance the needs of our members under a collective voice in those matters that relate to legislation and business activities that affect our members.

Performances were done by the choirs of the Eccles Assemblies of God Church; Bishops’ High School; Success Elementary School; Brickdam Cathedral and the Linden

Masquerade Band. The children were also treated to a parade with Santa and his Elves, who distributed toys and sweets to hundreds of them in attendance.

The Victoria Honey House -producing honey on a small scale since 2012 THE Victoria Honey House located at Victoria Public Road, East Coast Demerara, has been thriving with the likes of Carlotta De Jesus among others, who has been very instrumental in honey production.

She has been producing honey on a small scale since 2012, but her business has grown over time and she presently supplies several entities and has her own bee farm.

De Jesus told this publication at the Victoria Honey House, that she bottles honey which is sold mostly to tourists and even local people.

She wholesales and retails honey at different prices depending on the size of

the bottle, but the smallest size is sold for $200, while the gallon bottle costs $12,000.

“I source my honey from the 35 hives that I have on my bee farm, some from the hives at the Mangrove Reservation at Victoria and some from the “backdam” also in Victoria, De Jesus said.”

The mother of four is also an active member of the Victoria Mangrove Reserve where she conducts horse-drawn cart tours for tourists.

De Jesus said she was a full-time seamstress, but as her honey production business grew, she does that (sews) part time, especially around the time when

children need school clothes to go back to school.

She told this publication that she prefers to focus more on her honey production business because she likes what she does and it is very fulfilling.

De Jesus recently completed a tour guide training programme with a group of 15 persons and they have since extended their tours to Hope Beach and Greenfield, East Coast Demerara.

She was the first person to start producing honey for the Victoria Mangrove Reserve Producers and has since established her own business with her own brand. (Michel Outridge)

Historic feature address at GTI graduation as…

Brigadier Mark Phillips speaks to youths on Guyana’s Industrial Revolution WHEN Brigadier Mark Phillips, Chief of Staff of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), stood on Thursday before a 500-strong Government Technical Institute (GTI) graduating class of 2014, he opined that some might question his relevance in giving the feature address; but what he had to say was notably what the young pioneers needed to hear.

While, by his own admission, that evening was the first time he had set foot in the GTI, his footprint certainly left a lasting impression. In his remarks, he noted, “Guyana’s economy has moved from stabilisation to sustainable growth; we’re on the brink of an economic takeoff to modernisation.

Our industrial base and infrastructure are expanding (and), over the years, we have moved from being a basket case to now a middle income developing country.”

He added that “more young people will be needed to fill vacancies in more

market-based development “must be fuelled by expansions in our specialised and tertiary level training infrastructure and institutions.”

Additionally, “modern values need to be implanted in our young people, and they must be trained for specific jobs in the technically complex division of labour [and] in today’s training environment. The ambitious must be given their chance to achieve, and not be restricted because of their sex, age, or social status,” he declared.

The Chief of Staff highlighted the role of the GDF, which was set up in 1965. “The Guyana Defence Force [GDF] spends more on training per capita and as a percentage of budgetary allocations than many private and public sector organizations,” he said.

He also said the doors of the GDF are always open, since “we always have vacancies (for persons) with technical qualifications.”

Phillips urged those interested in a career in the military to seize the

opportunity and become part of the GDF family.

“With qualifications similar to yours, two graduates from the GDF in 2012, with no prior military exposure, are now sergeants after completing our Military Leadership course in 2013.

With the accompanying CXC certificates, and on successful completion of our Officer Cadet course, graduates of GTI are commissioned as Second Lieutenants of the Guyana Defence Force,” he told his audience.

Brigadier Mark Phillips is the eighth Chief of Staff to serve the Guyana Defence Force. He was appointed to that position in November 2013 by Commander-inChief of the Armed Forces and Chairman of the Defense Board, President Donald Ramotar. Phillips is the holder of a Bachelors degree in Public Management from the University of Guyana, and a Masters in Public Sector Management from La Pontifical Universidad of the Dominican Republic.

Common Foot Problems in Diabetics

SUNDAY CHRONICLE November 30, 2014 DEAR readers I am pleased to present via this media, some common foot lesions that a diabetic can experience. Your feet are at risk because diabetes can cause damage to the nerves and the blood supply. This damage is more likely if: • You have had diabetes for a long time • Your blood glucose levels have been too high for an extended period • You smoke • You are inactive.

Below is a list of foot problems that anyone can get. However for people with diabetes these common foot problems can possibly lead to infection and serious complications, such as amputation (surgical removal of a limb).

1. Smelly feet (Athlete's foot). Many people may experience itching, redness, and cracking of the feet due to a fungal infection. Germs can enter through the cracks in your skin and cause an infection. Uncontrolled infections can lead to ulcers, abscesses, etc. Ask your doctor to recommend a medication for athlete's foot.

2. Fungal infection of nails. Nails may become discoloured (yellowish-brown or opaque), thick and brittle, and may separate from the rest of the nail bed. In some cases, the nail may crumble. The dark, moist, and warm environment while wearing shoes can promote fungal growth. Also any injury to the nail can put you at risk for a fungal infection. Fungal nail infections are difficult to treat. Medications applied directly to

the nail are available, but they might only help a small number of fungal nail problems.

Oral medications (pills) may need to be prescribed by your doctor. Treatment also may include periodic removal of the damaged nail tissue.

3. Calluses. Building up of hard skin, usually on the underside of the foot. This is cause by uneven distribution of weight on the bottom of the forefoot or heel. Calluses also can be caused by improperly fitting shoes or by a skin abnormality. Keep in mind that some degree of callus formation on the sole of the foot is normal. Proper care is necessary if you have a callus. For excessive callus, debridement (removal) is necessary. Use cushioned pads and insoles in your shoes. Medications also may be prescribed to soften calluses. DO NOT try to cut the callus or remove it with a sharp object.

4. Corns. Build-up of hard skin near a bony area of a toe or between toes. Corns may be the result of pressure from shoes that rub against the toes or cause friction between the toes.

Proper care is necessary if you have a corn. Do not use over-the-counter remedies to dissolve corns. DO NOT try to cut the corn or remove it with a sharp object.

5. Blisters. Blisters can form when your shoes constantly rub against the same spot on your foot. Wearing shoes that do not fit properly or wearing shoes without socks can cause blisters, which can become infected. When treating blisters, it's important not to "pop" (break) them. The skin covering the blister helps protect it from infection.

6. Bunions. A bunion forms when your big toe angles in toward the second toe. Often, the spot where your big toe joins the rest of the foot becomes red. This area also may begin to stick out and become hard. Bunions can form on one or both feet. They may run in the family, but most often are caused by wearing high-heeled shoes with narrow toes. These shoes put pressure on the big toe, pushing it toward the second toe. The use of felt or foam padding on the foot may help protect the bunion from irritation. A device also may be used to separate the big and second toes. If the bunion causes severe pain and/or deformity, surgery to realign the toes may be necessary.

7. Dry skin. Dry skin can crack, which can allow germs to enter. Use moisturising soaps and lotions to help keep your skin moist and soft.

8. Foot ulcers. Break in the skin or a deep sore, which can become infected. Foot ulcers can result from minor scrapes, cuts that heal slowly or from the rubbing of shoes that do not fit well. Early intervention is important in treatment. Ask your doctor for advice on how to best care for your wound.

9. Hammertoes. A hammertoe is a toe that is bent because of a weakened muscle. The weakened muscle makes the tendons (tissues that connect muscles to bone) shorter, causing the toes to curl under the feet. Hammertoes can run in families. They can also be caused by shoes that are too short. Hammertoes can cause problems with walking and can lead to other foot problems, such as blisters, calluses, and sores. Splinting and corrective footwear can help in treating them. In severe cases, surgery to straighten the toe may be necessary.

10. Ingrown toenails. Ingrown toenails occur when the edges of the nail grow into the skin. They cause pressure and pain along the nail edges. The edge of the nail may cut into the skin, causing redness, swelling, pain, drainage, and infection. The most common cause of ingrown toenails is pressure from shoes. Other causes include improperly trimmed nails, crowding of the toes and repeated trauma to the feet from activities such as running, walking, or doing aerobics. Keeping your toenails properly trimmed is the best way to prevent ingrown toenails. If you have a persistent problem or if you have a nail infection, you may need a doctor's care.

11. Plantar warts. Plantar warts look like calluses on the ball of the foot or on the heel.

They may appear to have small pinholes or tiny black spots in the centre. The warts are usually painful and may develop singly or in clusters. Plantar warts are caused by a virus that infects the outer layer of skin on the soles of the feet. DO NOT use over-the-counter medications to dissolve the wart. If you are not sure if you have a plantar wart or a callus, let your doctor decide.

12. Fixed joints. Some patient may experience no movement in the ankle joint or the joints of the large toe.

13. Burning, stinging and biting, sensation to feet. This is referred to as neuropathic pains. Patient sometimes experience sleepless nights as a result of this problem. Consult your doctor when experiencing this.

14. Changes in skin colour. Dark discolouration, leather like appearance of the skin, and loss of hair in the lower extremities is possible due to peripheral vascular disease. Many may also experience cold and clammy feet with swelling (edema).

For all diabetic patients it is important to do a 60 second screening test that will help to screen the foot for any of the above mentioned foot problems. There are two types of risk to feet, high risk and low risk. Knowing the risk and taking care of your feet can prevent serious problems even amputation. If you have diabetes, contact your doctor if you are experiencing any of the above mentioned problems: Please feel free to send an email to kumarsukhraj@yahoo.com or call 6228032 for further enquiry and discussion on the topic. Patient education plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of diabetes and any other illness. Please look forward for a continuation of the discussion on diabetes in the future publication.

W&GEC holds one-day stakeholders review

THE Women and Gender Equality Commission (W&GEC) on Friday held its Guyana/Beijing + 20 National Conference One-day Stakeholders’ Review of progress, gaps and actions in Guyana’s implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action.

Proceedings were held at the Guyana International Conference Centre (GICC) at Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara in observance of the International Day Against Violence Against Women –- November 25 -- and the 16 Days of Human Rights Activism. The theme for the review was “Let’s challenge militarism and end violence against women”.

The WGEC salutes survivors of domestic violence, mourns the deaths of victims, and pays tribute to the organisations that work tirelessly to address and reduce violence against women and girls, men and boys, and all vulnerable groups.

Minister of Human Services and Social Security, Ms. Jennifer Webster, advocated for the advancement and empowerment of women, since women play a key role in emancipating a nation from the clutches of poverty.

She said that, the world over, young girls are rarely allowed to complete their education, and are given work or family instead, and that twothirds of the world’s illiterates are women. However, as the year 2015 approaches, world leaders have called for a longterm agenda to improve the quality of life for our people and the need to protect the planet for future generations.

Webster told the conference that the Government of Guyana reaffirms its commitment in fulfilling its obligations under the platform for action aimed at ensuring Minister the protection and equality Jennifer Webster of our women within the Guyanese society. She added that Government also remains committed to implementing concrete measures aimed at promoting gender equality and empowering women in Guyana. While much progress has been made in the platform, she said, there is still a lot more to be done.

Webster highlighted some of the achievements made in a few areas, such as education, agriculture, business, health, forestry, information and technology as we are training more women, including single parent women, who own their own homes.

She pointed out that the Government of Guyana continues to examine legislation and to consider whether to initiate new ones to meet the demands of the changing society and environment.

Webster said that, since 2010, Government identified information technology as an emerging growth sector which calls for greater diversification of the labour force. Consequently, Government has been promoting information communication project, the One Laptop Per Family (OLPF) programme, which is aimed at providing 90,000 households with a laptop each and computer training.

She noted that elderly, particularly older women, have been overlooked in the development agenda, since one-fifth of the world’s population will be over the age of 60 by the time the post-2015 framework comes to an end.

Webster added that life expectancy rates have improved in Guyana; and with respect to women, the life expectancy rate for women in Guyana is 70 years.

She also highlighted the challenges as she spoke of our achievements in Guyana, and called for social change and commitment.

Webster used the opportunity yesterday to call on media practitioners to play their role in the issue of violence against women in terms of coverage of incidents and the use of the

media meaningfully in creating awareness.

In an overview, UN Women – Caribbean Region, Christine Arab, of in a Powerpoint presentation of A Global and Regional Summary of Gender Equality in the Post 2015 Agenda outlined the 170 targets and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be adopted worldwide. She explained that the idea of feminism is that women are victims in the social media, but a feminist advocates that everyone has a right to

equality.

Also making remarks was Chairperson of the Programme, Vanda Radzik, Commissioner of the W&GEC, speaking on the achievements of women; Cheryl Sampson, Deputy Chairperson W$GEC; Women’s Democracy Network and International Republican Institute’s Glen Bradbury; and Indranie Chandarpal, Chairperson W&GEC.

Chelsea held at Sunderland, United and Arsenal win

By Ian Chadband LONDON, (Reuters) - Chelsea’s seemingly irresistible march towards the title hit an unlikely roadblock at Sunderland yesterday as they were held to a 0-0 draw having failed to score for the first time in their unbeaten Premier League season.

Jose Mourinho’s side stretched their lead at the top to seven points but Sunderland’s splendid resistance at the Stadium of Light at least scattered a few crumbs of hope for nearest pursuers Southampton and Manchester City, who meet today.

Chelsea’s other floundering heavyweight rivals -- Manchester United, who beat Hull City 3-0, Arsenal, who won at West Bromwich Albion with a Danny Welbeck goal, and Liverpool, who beat Stoke City 1-0 despite dropping captain Steven Gerrard -- were also grateful for Sunderland’s dogged effort.

Gus Poyet’s Sunderland team, who have become rare pests for Mourinho as Chelsea’s conquerors in last season’s League Cup and the side which ended his 78-match unbeaten league record at Stamford Bridge, could even have pinched another win if Adam Johnson had not spurned two late chances.

Chelsea, nowhere near as sharp as in their midweek Champions League dismantling of Schalke 04, dominated proceedings but were held for the third time this term as they moved clear of second-placed Southampton and nine points ahead of champions City.

Mourinho, far from disappointed, felt it was a “a good point” against a Sunderland side which Poyet, a former Stamford Bridge favourite, reckoned had “defended for their lives”.

“Only one team tried to

Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney celebrates his goal against Hull City with teammate Ashley Young Credit: REUTERS/Darren Staples win from the beginning, the other team didn’t. They defended a lot and they defended well,” said Mourinho. “Defending a lot and well is not a crime. They were successful in their approach.”

GERRARD AXED At Anfield, the inspirational Gerrard was axed on the 16th anniversary of his Liverpool debut but Brendan Rodgers’ surprise decision was vindicated as they arrested their slump.

There have been plenty of questions over the form and effectiveness of Gerrard, 34, during 11th-placed Liverpool’s recent travails but even dropping him to the bench did not seem to alter their sluggish form as they laboured for 75 minutes.

The captain came on with a quarter of an hour left, amid deafening cheers, and Liverpool finally broke through with Glen Johnson’s 85th-minute header.

Arsenal also gained welcome relief amid their worst start to a season for 32 years thanks to Welbeck’s header.

The victory, reflecting Arsenal’s domination, did not stop manager Arsene Wenger having to field questions about a fan banner which said, “Thanks for the memories but it’s time to say

NBS / Berbice Cricket Board 40-Over final postponed

The final of the The Berbice Cricket Board/The New Building Society (NBS) 40-Over Second Division, which was scheduled to kick off today at the No. 69 Vikings Ground on the Upper Corentyne, between Corriverton and D’Edward, has been postponed due to the inclement weather.

The organisers will announce a new date when the weather improves.

goodbye”.

“I don’t want to comment on that. I try to do my best for this club that I love,” responded Wenger.

The win moved Arsenal up to sixth on 20 points as Manchester United consolidated fourth with 22 after first-half goals by Chris Smalling and Wayne Rooney and a brilliant strike from Robin van Persie after the break sealed their win over Hull.

GOAL LINE TECHNOLOGY Smalling’s 16th-minute

opener was only awarded after goal line technology showed his shot had sneaked over the line.

“It was our best match when you see the full 90 minutes. We have dominated.

I think now we are on the right way,” added the Dutch manager, who felt Van Persie had scored a “beautiful” goal after recent criticism of his performances.

Once again an injury clouded United’s joy with record signing Angel Di Maria limping off in the first half with a suspected hamstring problem.

At the other end of the table, Queens Park Rangers came through an entertaining clash at Loftus Road, beating Leicester City 3-2 to move above both their opponents and Burnley, Charlie Austin finally snatching the points with a 73rd-minute winner.

Former England forward Joe Cole, 33, flitted back into the limelight with the opener for Aston Villa in a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor, while Newcastle United’s charge up the table was halted at West Ham United where Aaron Cresswell got the winner.

Sri Lanka thrash feeble England to go 2-0 up

COLOMBO, (Reuters) - Sri Lanka’s bowlers bundled out England for 185 before the hosts chased down the target with eight wickets to spare in the rain-hit second one-day international yesterday to take a 2-0 lead in the seven-match series.

England won the toss and opted to bat in a match shortened to 45 overs due to showers, but they were reduced to 37 for three inside the first 10 overs with part-time offspinner Tillakaratne Dilshan removing both openers.

Moeen Ali, the centurion in the first ODI which England lost by 25 runs at the same venue, was out for two in the second over and captain Alastair Cook made 22.

It was left to Ravi Bopara (51) to add respectability to the total with his second successive fifty but he fell to off-spinner Ajantha Mendis (3-33) as England were all out in 43 overs.

Joe Root made the only other notable contribution with the bat for England with 42.

Mahela Jayawardene picked England off with ease in a top score of 77.

Sri Lanka also lost both openers early but unbeaten half-centuries from the experienced Mahela Jayawardene (77) and Kumar Sangakkara (67) and an unbroken third-wicket stand of 149 took them to their target with more than 10 overs to spare.

Flags flew at half mast at the R. Premadasa Stadium and a minute’s silence was observed before the match in memory of Australian Phillip Hughes, who died on Thursday after being hit on the neck by a bouncer.

First Test at the Gabba ...

short of outstanding during these difficult times.”

Ticket sales for the match at the Gabba in Brisbane had been suspended and a new date would be set after consultation with the BCCI, broadcasters and stadium officials, Sutherland added.

Australia captain Michael Clarke earlier gave a graphic illustration of the raw emotions of the players when he broke down repeatedly while paying tribute to his friend.

Battling to hold back tears, he read out a statement on behalf of the players at the Sydney Cricket Ground, where Hughes suffered his fatal injury on Tuesday.

“Words cannot express the loss we feel as a team right now,” Clarke said.

NUMBER RETIRED “We are going to miss that cheeky grin and that twinkle in his eye. He epitomised what the baggy green was about and what it means to us all.

“The world lost one of its great blokes this week and we are all poorer for it.”

Clarke said the players had requested that Cricket Australia retire Hughes’s one-day international number, 64.

“They agreed. That means so much,” he added. “His legacy of trying to improve each and every day will drive us for the rest of our lives.

“Our dressing room will never be the same. We loved him and always will. Rest in peace bruzzy.”

Tributes continued to flood in from around the world for Hughes and an indication of how deeply his death has affected his fellow professionals came in Sharjah, where Pakistan are hosting New Zealand in a test.

The second Test had been postponed for a day after Hughes died and there was no celebration of wickets or centuries when it resumed on Friday.

“The game was irrel-

evant at that stage, that was just a natural reaction by a group of people whose mind was elsewhere,” New Zealand coach Mike Hesson told reporters in Sharjah.

“We didn’t bowl any bouncers and that was to show respect.”

Back in Australia, Hughes was not forgotten as yesterday morning cricket was played across the country in blazing sunshine, as it has been for more than a century.

ROW OF BATS Cricket Australia has encouraged teams at all levels to remember Hughes and both the score he had accumulated when the fatal blow struck him, 63 not out, and his Test number, 408, were much in evidence on pitches around the country.

At a match between Sydney Boys and Shore schools in Centennial Park, just a stone’s throw from the SCG, a row of bats topped with cricket caps were lined up beside the pitch in tribute.

Cricket at the elite level has yet to resume with senior club matches cancelled in Sydney and Adelaide, where Hughes played his state cricket for South Australia for the last couple of years.

The fate of the first Test against India had been in the balance even before Hughes died of his horrific injury as many of the Australia team were among his closest friends.

TV rights make an incoming tour by the India Test team by far the most lucrative in the world game so cancellation of the Brisbane match is unlikely.

There is precious little room for manoeuvre, however, with the second Test scheduled to take place in Adelaide from Dec. 12-16 with the third starting on Boxing Day (Dec. 26) in Melbourne and the fourth in Sydney running from Jan. 3-7.

McCullum, Williamson put New Zealand in control

McCullum falls on 202 after fourth double-century;* Williamson makes his highest Test score of 192 (REUTERS) - Captain Brendon McCullum’s blistering double hundred and a record 297-run stand with centurion Kane Williamson put New Zealand firmly in control of the third and final Test against Pakistan in Sharjah yesterday.

McCullum (202) fell two balls after completing his fourth double hundred in tests, the fourth fastest ever, but the visitors continued to pile on runs and reached 637 for eight at stumps on the third day, a first-innings lead of 286.

Williamson also reached his eighth hundred in the morning and was out for 192, his highest test score, by the first ball after tea as New Zealand, trailing 1-0 in the series, continued to score runs at a fierce pace.

Israeli umpire killed after ball strikes him in the face JERUSALEM,(Reuters) An umpire standing in a cricket match in the Israeli city of Ashdod was killed after being struck by a ball on Saturday, Israeli police said.

Police said the 60-yearold umpire, who was not named, was taken to hospital in the nearby town of Ashkelon in critical condition where he died of his injuries.

One of the players who witnessed the incident told the Nana10 website that the umpire, standing at the bowler’s end, was struck by the ball in his face after it ricocheted off the stumps from a shot that came straight back down the pitch.

The death came two days after Australian batsman Phillip Hughes died in hospital after being struck by a ball during a domestic first-class match in Sydney.

Cricket is not a major sport in Israel but Ashdod is one of the main centres for the sport where a large number of Jewish immigrants from India live.

Resuming on 249-1, the aggressive duo of McCullum and Williamson hit boundaries off pacemen and spinners at will on their way to breaking New Zealand’s record for the highest second-wicket Test partnership.

The 33-year-old McCullum, who hit 21 fours in his 188-ball knock, got past his double-hundred against leg-spinner Yasir Shah with his 11th six but was bowled round his legs in the same over while attempting a sweep shot.

The celebration was again muted in memory of Australian Phillip Hughes, who died on Thursday after being hit on the neck by a bouncer two days earlier, with both sets of players

Kane Williamson quietly acknowledges the applause for his eighth Test century. continuing to wear black armbands.

There was also no jubilation from Williamson after he drove Mohammad Talha

for a boundary to bring up his century.

While McCullum was brutal in his strokeplay, the 24-year-old Williamson manufactured his runs with grace and timing.

He continued to drive New Zealand on after his skipper’s departure and added 116 for the third with Ross Taylor (50), who became Yasir’s second victim.

Williamson edged paceman Rahat Ali straight to Younus Khan at the lone slip position after hitting 23 fours and a six during his 244-ball knock.

Rahat (4-89) also dismissed Corey Anderson after the left-hander had scored a quick-fire 50, studded with seven boundaries and two huge sixes.

Yasir picked up his third wicket in the form of Tim Southee but not before he had further dented the morale of Pakistan’s

bowlers by hammering another quick-fire 50 for New Zealand, who have already posted their third-highest score in Tests.

BCCI keen to ‘speed up healing process’

By Amol Karhadkar

THE BCCI has offered an informal interaction between some of the Indian cricketers and their Australian counterparts, in order to help the players recover from the tragedy of Phillip Hughes’ death.

With Hughes’ funeral on Wednesday, the Brisbane Test which was originally scheduled to start on Thursday has been postponed.

It is possible that the opening Test could be pushed back by three days and then the scheduled nine-day break between the second and third Test be cut down to four days.

Many Indian players have been in touch with their friends in the Aus-

India captain Virat Kohli puts out his bat at a tribute to Phillip Hughes at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide, yesterday.

tralian cricket fraternity following the unfortunate incident, and the BCCI is understood to have informed Cricket Australia that the board would be willing to go the extra mile to “speed up the healing process”.

“If some of our boys mingling with the Australian players is going to help them get back on track, we will immediately facilitate it,” a board insider told ESPNcricinfo.

The BCCI has also passed a message to all the members of the squad that anyone who wishes to attend Hughes’ funeral would be able to do so.

Some of the India players, including those with Mumbai Indians - the IPL team Hughes

was a part of - and some of those who toured Australia with the India A side, were friends with Hughes.

If those players would like to pay their tributes to Hughes, the Board, according to an official, “will facilitate the trip to Macksville”.

However, the full squad is unlikely to go down to Macksville.

Meanwhile, the BCCI expects the reworked Test series itinerary to be finalised in the next 24 hours. CA officials informed the BCCI during discussions yesterday that the new schedule will be confirmed today after their deliberations with various stakeholders, and most importantly, with the players.(ESPN Cricinfo)

Hiralall and Rambharose shine on opening night

DARTS players converged on the Malteenoes Sports Club last Friday night to compete in the LENS sponsored Guyana Darts Association (GDA) National Championships, with two events being contested, the Team competition and the Mixed Doubles.

In the team event, FAMILY SQUAD got the better of TRIPLE 20 to come away with a 5-0 margin of victory, winning the singles and doubles games as well as the 1001 games, before disposing of Bank of Guyana via the same scoreline to advance to the

final, while TRIPLE 20 got there by taking out ALL STARS 3-2.

In the Mixed Doubles 501, Lalchand Rambharose and Rosetta Hiralall put on a fine display to reach the final which will be contested today.

In their semi-final

matches against Colin France and Shondell Hyles, they wrapped it up 2-0 with a 16-darts finish and will take on Miguel Merlano and Mary Correia who defeated Adrian Damon and Melissa Smartt 2-0 in their semifinal.

On a night when it

was announced that there will be special incentive prizes for players who throw the most 180s and 100s, a total of 41 hundreds were registered by several players, while the action continues from 19:00hrs at the same venue tonight.

Smith’s hundred puts Windwards in front but Leewards fight

ST GEORGE’S, Grenada, (CMC) – Windward Islands Volcanoes pivoted on Devon Smith’s 24th first class hundred to take control of their encounter against Leeward Islands Hurricanes, on the second day at the National Stadium here yesterday.

The West Indies lefthander converted his overnight 83 into 145 as the Windwards declared their first innings on 308 for five – a daunting lead of 199 runs heading into day three of their third round match in the WICB Professional Cricket League.

Staring at the possibility of their third defeat on the trot, the Leewards

Left-hander Devon Smith ... stroked 145 for the Windwards. chose attack as their best means of defence, racing to 102 for one at the close.

Opener Lyndell Rich-

ardson hammered 48 from 45 balls while Austin Richards stroked a more sedate 42 not out, as they put on 67 for the first wicket.

Richardson, in only his seventh first class match, struck seven fours and a six while Richards, in good nick at the moment, has so far faced 138 balls in 137 minutes and counted six fours.

With his maiden first class half-century approaching, the right-handed Richardson perished looking to go down the ground with off-spinner Liam Sebastien, holing out to Alston Bobb at mid-off.

Richards then held things together for Lee-

wards, in a 35-run, second wicket stand with Montcin Hodge, unbeaten on ten at the close.

Earlier, Smith raised three figures off 153 balls in 249 minutes, as the Windwards prospered early in the day by going past the 200run mark for the loss of only Andre Fletcher who added just two to his overnight seven.

Overall, the left-handed Smith struck nine fours and two sixes off 254 balls in an innings lasting just shy of six hours.

He put on 87 for the fifth wicket with Romel Currency, who hit an unbeaten 50, a knock that lasted 150 balls in just over three hours at the crease.

Smith finally departed to a catch at silly mid-off

St Clair strikes late for T&T but Jamaica out front PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, (CMC) – Debutant fast bowler Daniel St

Clair struck twice late on as Trinidad and Tobago Red Force clawed their

way back against Jamaica Franchise, in their third round WICB Professional

Cricket League match here yesterday.

With Jamaica cruising at 65 for two in their second innings on the back of a 42run, first innings lead, leftarmer St Clair removed the threatening pair of Shacaya Thomas and Andre McCarthy, to reduce the visitors to 92 for four at the close of the second day at Queen’s Park Oval.

Thomas has so far topscored with 46 while McCarthy made 21. Captain Tamar Lambert finished on 20 not out.

St Clair, in for speedster Shannon Gabriel who is in the West Indies squad to South Africa, has so far picked up two for 25.

Despite this, T&T were left with much to do as Jamaica enters Sunday’s penultimate day already 134 runs ahead overall.

Earlier, T&T battled to 131 all out in their first innings, after rallying from their overnight precarious position of 59 for five.

They owed much to Imran Khan who top-scored with 26 and captain Rayad Emrit who hit 17 not out.

South Africa-bound West Indies left-arm seamer Sheldon Cottrell added another wicket to his tally to finish with five for 42 while leg-spinner Damian Jacobs (2-3) and speedster Marquino Mindley (2-28) claimed two wickets apiece.

Jamaica wasted little time, striking in the fourth over of the morning when Mindley trapped Jason Mo-

hammed lbw for 15, after the batsman had added just one to his overnight score with T&T on 71 for six.

The impressive Mindley then followed up with the wicket of Akeal Hosein, also lbw for 15 after resuming the day on nought.

With T&T tottering at 84 for seven, Imran Khan assumed responsibility for the innings, added 16 for the eighth wicket with Nicholas Pooran (8) and a further 29 for the ninth wicket with Emrit, to see his side past the 100-run mark.

Imran Khan faced 33 balls in 46 minutes and struck four fours before being ninth out, caught at

the wicket off Jacobs.

Batting again, Jamaica started poorly losing JonRoss Campbell (1) and Nkrumah Bonner (2) to slump to 24 for two.

However, Thomas and McCarthy combined to add 41 for the third wicket and strengthen Jamaica’s hold on the encounter.

Thomas, coming off a half-century in the second round, struck eight fours off 65 balls while McCarthy was also positive in his stroke play, hammering three fours and a six off just 25 deliveries.

St Clair then broke the stand, bowling Thomas and then trapping McCarthy lbw, four overs later.

By Leeron Brumell

A SECOND bronze medal for the Women’s Squash players to the Central American and Caribbean Games in Mexico.

It came in the Team event. On Wednesday the pair of Ashley Khalil and Ashley DeGroot were awarded bronze in the Women’s Doubles event. They were joint third with Guatemala.

With Mary Fung-A-Fat completing the trio – the ladies lost in their semifinal to Mexico on Friday night.

Mexico and Colombia met

Ashley Khalil in the Team Final last evening.

Mexico advanced to the

England’s Cook feels heat from Pietersen, Botham

(REUTERS) - FORMER England captains Kevin Pietersen and Ian Botham led the calls for Alastair Cook to be replaced as oneday skipper after a humiliating eight-wicket defeat

by Sri Lanka yesterday.

Botham described England’s performance as “flat and tedious” and Pietersen, who was axed by England this year following their Ashes series whitewash in Australia, called for Cook to quit.

“Dear Alastair, if you care about England ’s chances this winter, please resign,” the controversial batsman Pietersen wrote on Twitter.

Sri Lanka easily chased down England’s paltry 185 in the second match of the series, reaching their target with more than 10 overs to spare.

Cook, who has averaged less than 30 in 14 one-dayers in 2014, managed a meagre 22 runs and offered little attacking intent in the field.

“People are entitled to their view,” Cook told reporters. “That’s the nature of the beast when you’re on the outside.

“People believe what they want to believe. In our dressing-room, we’ve got to stay strong as a group.

“We’re the guys who

Khalil’s third match was not played.

On Friday Night the Men lost to Jamaica in their last quarterfinal match 2-Nil, ending their chances of making the semifinal round.

Their 5 th place game brought an end to Guyana’s participation in this year’s event in Vera Cruz.

Squash was the only sport in nine disciplines for Guyana to win medals.

Guyana also fielded teams in Athletics, Badminton, Judo, Taekwondo, Hockey, Swimming, Table Tennis and Cycling.

The overseas-based athletes left for their home bases yesterday, while the locals are expected in today.

Deion Nurse served as Chef-de-Mission.

Notable Dates MIDDLEWEIGHT Howard Eastman took his professional unbeaten streak to nine fights, when he knocked out Brendan Ryan on November 29, 1995.

Eastman was born in New Amsterdam, Berbice but fought out of England during the early and middle stages of his career.

A former European champion, Eastman would have two shots at world titles. He first battled WBA champion William Joppy on November 17, 2001.

Although dropping the American in the closing seconds of the fight Eastman lost by a majority decision.

He returned in February 2005 against undisputed world champion Bernard `The Executioner’ Hopkins but lost by a unanimous decision.

Eastman is still active and will turn 44 on December 8. On November 29, 1987

S O U T H PAW m i d d l e weight Reggie Ford won via a unanimous decision over Puerto Rican Manuel Melon on November 30, 1977.

The fight was staged at Westchester County Centre, in White Plains, New York. Three fights before Ford had stumbled when he came up against `Marvelous’ Marvin Hagler, who put down the Guyanese in three rounds.

Howard `The Battersea Bomber’ Eastman claimed his 19 th professional victory and the vacant British middleweight title following a seventh round TKO of Steve Foster on November 30, 1998.

The fight was held at the Bowlers Exhibition Centre in Lancashire, England.

Howard Eastman Joseph Murray had his second professional fight and got rid of Malcolm Darson in round two of a fight scheduled for six rounds.

GCB donates gear to Rose Hall and PCC SECRETARY of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Anand Sanasie last Saturday visited the Ancient County of Berbice, and donated cricket gear kits to Rose Hall/Canje Cricket Club and “B” Division Police Cricket Club respectively.

Sanasie charged the young cricketers and representatives of both Clubs to make good use of the gears and promised the clubs to help them with red cricket balls as well.

He said that these two clubs have shown an interest in the development of young cricketers and the GCB will continue to pay keen attention to those administrators and clubs that can produce young talent.

Industrial Welfare Officer and committee Development Officer of Rose Hall Estate Safraz Ali thanked the

Mahmudullah key to Tigers triumph

MAHMUDULLAH hit an unbeaten 82 to lead Bangladesh to a 21-run win over Zimbabwe in the fourth one-day international at Dhaka on Friday.

The hosts, who had already won the five-match series, went 4-0 in front thanks to a 134 fifth-wicket stand between Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim (77).

The Tigers were struggling on 32 for four when the pair came together and moved on to 166 by

the time Rahim fell.

They reached 256 for eight from their 50 overs and it proved enough as they restricted Zimbabwe to 235 for eight.

Neville Madziva and Solomon Mire, who both finished with three wickets apiece, rattled through the Bangladesh openers, reducing the hosts from 31 for one to 32 for four.

But Mahmudullah and Rahim turned the match firmly back in the favour of their side, though.

The latter hit seven fours in his 78-ball knock before he was caught at cover by Elton Chigumbura off Tafadzwa Kamungozi.

Mahmudullah, whose innings featured six fours and lasted 112 balls, then saw partners come and go, but Mashrafe Mortaza bashed 39 off 25 to boost the total.

A century partnership between Brendan Taylor and Mire for the fourth wicket gave the tourists hope, Taylor making 63 and Mire 52.

Mire was dismissed with Zimbabwe 90 runs adrift of their opponents’ total, with Taylor following the next over, just six runs later.

And no one was able to provide a late flourish in the manner of Mortaza as Bangladesh closed out another win.

GCB for remembering their club in this venture.

He added that they are in the process of rebuilding the stands through the Government of Guyana, and re-establishing the cricket club back to its glory days and said the gear would assist them in getting back on the map, even as he assured Sanasie that they would care and cherish the donated equipment.

Michael Newland, Station Sergeant of Central Berbice, thanked the GCB for seeing it fit to assist Police Cricket Club and like Ali, said the cricketers would use them fully.

Newland stated that the kit would help a great deal as the Police Club continues to grow, with over 50 young cricketers at the moment a club that has recently performed creditably in all the Ber-

bice Cricket Board Competitions.

This contribution is the continuation of the GCB country wide cricket development outreach programme which the Board started this year and very soon, other cricket clubs in Berbice will receive gear and funding for facilities development.

This new drive by the GCB follows on the heels of their donation of practice nets and $100,000 to 11 first division clubs in Berbice, done under the guidance of Sanasie, GCB president Drubahadur and Marketing Manager Raj Singh.

Back then, several clubs expressed delight at the move being made by the GCB, with Edinburgh’s Deonarine Seepersaud saying, “This is very good what they (GCB) are doing for the clubs here in Berbice.

Fantastic Russell fires Knights to victory K I M B E R L E Y, S o u t h Africa, (CMC) – A brilliant Man-of-the-Match all-round performance from West Indies allrounder Andre Russell fired Knights to a convincing 39-run victory over Dolphins in the Ram Slam Twenty20 League here Friday.

Russell slammed a scintillating even 50 from a mere 19 balls as Knights, sent in, got up to 167 for five off their 20 allotted overs at Diamond Oval.

The right-arm seamer then returned to grabbed three for 17 as Dolphins, with West Indies one-captain Dwayne Bravo on board, were restricted to 128 all out with nine balls remaining.

With the win, Knights are now third in the Ram Slam standings on 22 points, Cape Cobras top with 29 points.

Knights started poorly and were 26 for two when opener Reeza Hendricks, who top-scored with 69, and Tumelo Bodibe, who got 23, put on 63 for the third wicket.

Russell then arrived to play a blinder, smashing six sixes in a 76-run partnership with Hendricks to ensure Knights finished strongly.

In reply, Dolphins never really threatened especially after slipping to 63 for five in the 12th over.

Bravo tried to revive the innings with an 18ball 35 that included three fours and two sixes, in a 46un sixth wicket stand with Khaya Zondo (18).

But once Bravo was bowled by seamer Shadley van Schalkwyk (3-28) in the 16th over, the innings collapsed.

At Senwes Park in

Potchefstroom, both Chris Gayle and Darren Sammy failed in a high-scoring encounter as Gayle’s Lions edged Titans by a single run.

Opener Rassie van der Dussen struck an unbeaten 101 to get Lions up to 179 for three, with Gayle scoring just eight and seamer Sammy finishing wicketless from four overs which cost 33 runs.

GUINNESS ‘GREATEST OF DE STREETS’

New Georgetown zone champion will be crowned

By Calvin Roberts AFTER five nights of intense and enthralling action, the coordinators of the sixth annual Georgetown ‘Guinness Greatest of De Streets’ Futsal football competition, can go about their business planning the knockout round.

What is certain is that defending champions Queen Street- Tiger Bay has not made it out of their group to advance, while both North East LaPenitence and Broad Street Bullies, who were already assured of a spot in the knockout round, needlessly eliminated themselves last Thursday night.

The action was held at the National Cultural Centre tarmac for the third successive night, wherein Riverview failed to show up for their contest against South Ruimveldt, a game

which had no significance as both teams were already on their way out of the tournament.

In the second game of the night, South Sophia were giving their marching orders out of this year’s edition, following O’Kenny Fraser’s 3rd minute goal that handed Leopold Street a 1-0 win, over one of the tournament’s pre-favourite teams.

A Ronaldo Dover 21 seconds goal for Cross Street, was later nullified by Troy Heyliger (4th) and Andre Trotz (14th) for Charlestown, who later saw Samuel Hunte finding the back of the net in the 15th minute for Cross Street, to send their encounter into penalty kicks, which Cross Street won 3-2.

The action will continue tonight at the Demerara Car Park with eight more preliminary round matches, from which the remaining four teams for the round of 16 will be decided.

This is so, after Leopold Street, Albouystown ‘A’ and ‘B’, Festival City Street Fighters, Hope StreetTiger Bay, Globe Yard, Cross Street, West Front Road, Sparta Boss, Festival City Street Warriors, West Back Road and North Ruimveldt, have all qualified for the round of 16.

At stake is a top prize of $500,000, a trophy and a place in the national playoffs, with the second, third and fourth placed teams taking home $300,000, $200,000 and $100,000 respectively along with trophies.

Rain curtails second day’s play at Guyana’s Thomas leads Providence Stadium Challenger Section Umada Cup chess tourney.

THE tussle for the top spot in the Open Section of the fifth annual Umada Cup chess tournament is heating up with two FIDE Masters locked in the lead after four completed rounds yesterday at the Sleepin Hotel on Brickdam.

Following the pair are three players on 2.5 points each. They are Christopher Guzman of The Dominican Republic, Vishnu Singh of Trinidad and Tobago and Malaku Lorne of Jamaica.

Darvi Ferreras of The Dominican Republic is next on 1.5 points, followed by four players tied on a point each, including the lone Guyanese in the Open Section, Taffin Khan.

Five others players are bunched on three points, namely Deborah Richards of Jamaica, Esan Wiltshire and Frank Sears of Trinidad and Tobago, Anthony Drayton of Guyana, and Geryen Dos Ramos of Suriname.

They are followed by Avikaar Malgie (Sur), Wendell Meusa (Guy), Frank Kim Lin Lo (Sur) and Rashad Hussain (Guyana), all on 2.5 points apiece, and Ronuel Greenidge (Guy), Haifeng Su (Guy), Glenford Corlette (Guy), Mikel Martin (T&T), Aditi Soondars-

In the case of a tie, the sum of the prizes involved will be shared equally.

RAIN had the final say on the second day of action in the West Indies Cricket Board/Professional Cricket League Regional 4-Day matchup involving Guyana Jaguars and Barbados Pride at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence.

Two stoppages, the first at 10:00hrs and the other 90 minutes later, prevented the teams from taking the middle and continue their battle. Barbados Pride were 33 for 2 off 15.1 overs, in reply to the first day 261 made by the Guyana Jaguars, of which Anthony Bramble topscored with 73.

Barbados Pride resumed the day on 4 without loss, with Kyle Corbin and skipper Carlos Brathwaite on 2 each and got broad smiles on their faces, when Corbin struck the first ball of the day from Ronsford Beaton, past squareleg for four.

The Jaguars got the
