ELECTIONS EARLY NEXT YEAR – President Ramotar announces

THE wait has ended and the much anticipated announcement on the way forward to bring an end to the current political impasse came yesterday when President Donald Ramotar announced that Guyana will go to general and regional elections early next year.

“I have considered and I have consulted and this is my resolve. We will go to elections. I have also since written to the international community alerting them to the possibility of early elections and the desire for them to field observer missions,” he said.

The Head of State was speaking at a press briefing held at State House, Main Street, where he added that a date for general and regional elections will be set early in 2015.

Mr. Ramotar reasoned that this way Guyanese people’s Christmas holidays, less than three weeks away, will not be disrupted.

Once a date is set political parties kick into campaign mode. Also once a proclamation, announcing a date, is made by the President

President addressing media operatives yesterday during his state House press conference to go to general and regional elections, constitutionally, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has three months within which to deliver.

Asked for clarity on a timeline within which a date will be set for a return to the polls, the President assured that he will make the proclamation before the Mashramani celebrations, possibly in his New Year’s Message to the nation.

Ramotar added that between now and the

announcement of a date he will be engaging GECOM, as well as any other stakeholder group in talks. “I have an open door policy,” he said.

Also, given yesterday’s announcement, the President noted that local government elections will now have to be delayed until after general and regional elections are held. Last month, he had announced that local government elections will be held by the second quarter of 2015.

Mr. Ramotar ’s

announcement of a move to general and regional elections comes after his November 18 invitation to Leader of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), Brigadier (rtd) David Granger was rejected.

INVITATION REJECTED The main Opposition leader, in his response, was emphatic in his assertion that there will be “no talks” with the current administration, unless the November 10 prorogation of Parliament is lifted.

According to the Granger camp, via a brief missive sent the media yesterday and titled, ‘Leader of the Opposition responds to the President,’ “Brigadier David Granger, Leader of the Opposition, has responded to the letter from President Donald Ramotar, dated 18th November 2014 and entitled ‘Inter-Prorogation Dialogue’.

“The Opposition Leader iterated that APNU would be unprepared to participate in such a proposed dialogue

for as long as the Parliament of Guyana remained prorogued.”

Additionally, both APNU and the Alliance For Change (AFC), at the time of the prorogation, categorically stated that they will not engage the President in talks unless the prorogation is lifted and parliamentary work resumes.

The President has always maintained that the need for dialogue was uppermost in his mind when he made his decision. Paving the way for greater dialogue among political parties, he contends, would have kept the 10th Parliament alive to address critically important issues currently before the National Assembly.

Mr. Ramotar reiterated these sentiments yesterday, adding that the objectives of his decision to prorogue Parliament have clearly been lost. “The Opposition reacted disappointingly and even rejected my decision as unconstitutional,” he said.

CONFIDENT OF WINNING

Yesterday, the Head of State expressed confidence in regaining the parliamentary majority his party lost in the 2011 general and regional elections by one seat. At the last elections the combined Opposition gained control of the National Assembly by a one-seat majority, in a 33-32 split.

Mr. Ramotar credited his confidence to the Government’s performance in moving the country forward for the benefit of the Guyanese people and to the experiences of the Guyanese people in the last three years.

At a prior press conference, in midNovember, he had underscored that his administration is not afraid of the electorate, since the Guyanese people are perfectly capable of judging the accomplishments made relative to national development and improved livelihoods of the nation’s people.

“The Opposition will have to win the elections to do so (make good on their threats), which I doubt they will be able to do, because this time I am going back for my majority bigger than ever before,” he said.

The PPP/C has won every consecutive general election since 1992.

President says Opposition fishing for leverage -realising they’re losing ground

RESPONDING to questions posited by members of the media yesterday in relation to allegations made by the APNU coalition that his party is engaged in “race-baiting” and “use of state resources” for political purposes, President Donald Ramotar opined that the opposition is “fishing”, since they realise they are losing ground.

The President’s response came yesterday at a press conference held at State House following an allegation made on Friday by APNU that his party was engaged in race-baiting in light of general and regional elections.

According to APNU, the PPP has been publishing “inflammatory, racist statements” in order to influence the attitudes and behaviours of Amerindians and persons of Indian descent. The coalition said the PPP falsely claimed, on December 1, that the indigenous population had been “battered” under the PNC regime and that the Opposition was “attempting to disenfranchise the

PPP expresses full support for holding of elections early next year THE People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has expressed full support for the holding of elections early elections next year which was announced yesterday by President Donald Ramotar at a press conference at State House.

“The party in a statement issued yesterday said: The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) expresses its full support for the announcement by President Donald Ramotar that General and Regional Elections will be called early next year 2015.”

Amerindians.

The coalition has also accused the PPP/C of “maliciously” accusing the PNC of being “bent on marginalising the indigenous population.”

“In fact, it is the PPP which has been accused by the Alliance For Change of creating ‘ethnic and geographic apartheid in Guyana’ and of ‘stirring antiAfrican fears, conjuring up the so-called black jumbie’ to scare Indians and to woo them away from the AFC”, the main Opposition coalition

contended.

Against this backdrop, the Head of State has firmly dismissed the accusations made, labelling them “absolute nonsense.” He has, moreover, asserted that while the allegations are “totally not true,” he is of the belief that APNU is currently “fishing” for leverage, since its leadership realises that “they are losing ground”.

was opened up for the President to go for the option to call early General and Regional Elections.”

“The PPP has always maintained that Guyanese are fed up with the Opposition’s belligerent behaviour inside and outside of the National Assembly. And instead of behaving in a mature and reasonable manner have deprived Guyanese in general and their supporters in particular of the fruits of people-centred development initiated by the PPP/C Administration.

Further, the Party has always maintained that it is ready and prepared to go to the polls at any time should general and regional elections be called.”

“The PPP has noted that the joint Opposition having failed at getting their No Confidence motion debated and passed in the National Assembly and having recognised the wisdom of going for General and Regional Elections rather than Local Government Elections has within recent times shifted their position and has been calling for General and Regional

Elections.

It is clear therefore that there is now national consensus for the country to go to the polls in early 2015. The PPP is confident at winning at the polls. That victory will see the Party winning the Presidency once again as well as winning a stronger majority in the National Assembly and in all the Regions.”

“People-centred development will once again reign supreme and all Guyanese will reap the benefits resulting in peace, progress and prosperity for all.”

PRESIDENT DONALD RAMOTAR

USE OF STATE RESOURCES President Ramotar, asked about his use of state resources for outreaches, posed this rhetorical question to the media: “Do you want us to walk?”

This response came in light of several outreaches which the President himself and Government officials would have been a part of in remote areas of the country accessible only by aircraft and vehicles. As such, “the need for these resources to aid in these community outreaches was of high priority.

US hostage Luke Somers and SA Pierre Biden sees ‘less Korkie killed during Yemen rescue bid than even’ chance (BBC News) UK-born US journalist Luke Somers and South African teacher Pierre Korkie have been killed by al-Qaeda militants in Yemen during a failed rescue bid.

Saturday’s operation was carried out by joint US and Yemeni special forces in the southern Shabwa region.

hostages.

They were being held by militants from al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), regarded by the US as one of the deadliest offshoots of al-Qaeda.

The group is based in eastern Yemen and has built up support amid the unrest which has beset the impoverished country since the overthrow of President Ali Abdullah Saleh in 2011.

Egypt court sentences seven jihadists to death in Sinai case (Reuters) - AN Egyptian court has sentenced to death seven men, including prominent Islamist militant Adel Habara, over the killing of 25 policemen last year in an attack near the border with Israel, judicial sources said on Saturday.

The attack took place in August 2013 following the

government’s violent clearing of two protest camps in Cairo, where supporters of deposed Islamist president Mohamed Mursi had gathered to demand his reinstatement.

The court sentenced 25 others on related charges to prison for terms ranging from 15 years to life. Only 19 of those sentenced were present, including Habara,

the sources said.

The ruling, which can be appealed, followed the referral of the death sentence to the Grand Mufti, Egypt’s highest Sunni Muslim authority.

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who as army chief engineered Mursi’s overthrow following protests against his rule and then launched a crackdown on his Muslim Brotherhood supporters, faces a growing Islamist insurgency in the lawless Sinai Peninsula adjoining Israel and the Gaza Strip.

Thousands of Brotherhood supporters have been rounded up in the crackdown and hundreds have since been sentenced to death. Liberal activists have also been suppressed, with many of the leading lights of the 2011 popular uprising also facing trial for breaking a law that seeks to curb protests.

More than 500 people, mostly police and soldiers, have been killed across Egypt in Islamist militant attacks since last summer, according to government statistics.

of nuclear deal with Iran

(Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said on Saturday there was a “less than even shot” of a nuclear deal with Iran but that it was still worth pursuing.

Biden, speaking at a forum on the Middle East at the Brookings Institution think tank, rejected calls for more sanctions against Tehran over its nuclear program because “this is not the time to risk a breakdown when we still have a chance for a breakthrough.”

Biden said the sanctions imposed by the United States and allies were working by slowing Iran’s economy, as well as its nuclear program.

“It’s frozen the program, it’s given us a shot for a peaceful solution,” he said. “I tell you, I think it’s a less than even shot but it’s a shot, nonetheless.”

Biden said that while the United States and Israel have tactical disagreements, Washington remained fully dedicated to Israel’s security.

“We will not let Iran acquire a nuclear weapon - period,” he said. “End of discussion. Not on our watch.”

Guyanese dominate CSEC top awards - Education investments paying handsome dividends

Guyana’s massive investments in the education sector continue to reap rich harvests for the country. This was amply manifested, when four local students garnered rich returns for excellent performances at the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC).

On December 4, the country was the show piece of the Region, as four Guyanese students picked up specialised awards for their outstanding performances, at this year’s Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) exams.

The prestigious award for Most Outstanding Candidate Overall was taken by Elisa Hamilton from Queen’s College; this by itself contributing to Queens’s College, taking away the Most Outstanding School Hamilton achieved grade ones in 19 subjects: Agricultural Science (double award): Biology: Chemistry: English A; English B; Food and Nutrition; French; Geography; Home Economics Management; Information Technology; Integrated Science; Mathematics; Physics; Principles of Business; Social Studies; Spanish; Electronic Document Preparation and Management; Physical Education and Sport; Human and Social Biology; and a grade two in Religious Education.

The Most Outstanding Award for Humanities went to another Queen’s College prodigy, Aliyyah Abdul Kadir. She scored grade ones in 15 subjects. Ryhan Chand, yet another

DOUBLE FEATURE The night was a double feature, as students for both CSEC and the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Exams (CAPE) were honoured, at a ceremony, attended by officials and dignitaries from across the Region at the regional headquarters of the University of the West Indies, Mona, Kingston, Jamaica.

CONTINUE PRESSING ON Professor Nigel Harris ,Vice Chancellor and Chairman of UWI, in his feature address to the students, not only complimented them, but also exhorted that they ‘press on’ as much as possible, both in terms of their academic lives and in being engaged in extra-curricular activities.

He admonished that academic studies and extra-curricular activities mould characters; they work in tandem, and one is not at the expense of the other. The soon-to-exit UWI Head pointed out that the awardees all debunked the myth that academics are not normal people.

Professor Harris explained that he was very cognisant of the fact that too many people criticise the top students, unjustly chiding them for sitting a plethora of subjects, thinking that this creates imbalances and peculiarities in them.

He highlighted the startling reality, that the awardees were all well-rounded and gifted, being proficient in a number of non-academic areas-sports, dancing, singing, and debating.

He further opined that even though “Knowledge learning is important, there are a number of (other) important things.

The book knowledge is not always important… being able to communicate and speak as well… other interests such as debating will make you rounded individuals. And I know we don’t have nerds here, like people think.”

GUYANA

Too little too late THE PSC is calling for an end to prorogation and a stay of the Opposition’s no-confidence motion.

However, it is too little, too late.

The Private Sector Commission (PSC), which has called for an end to the November 10 prorogation of Parliament, as well as the stay of the Alliance For Change (AFC) sponsored no-confidence motion, should have moved to nip the Opposition’s theatrics in the bud when, from the inception of the 10th Parliament the joint Opposition began playing power games that held the entire nation ransom to their ambitious plans to enter the Executive office through the backdoor.

But it was an ungrateful Private Sector, which is today enjoying the benefits of a country on the move under the PPP/C Government, very much unlike the stagnation through which they suffered under the PNC dictatorship that attempted to derail the previous Bharrat Jagdeo and current Donald Ramotar

administrations by funding and encouraging the AFC in election after election.

And while the Government was conferring with all stakeholders and taking holistic approaches to policy-decisions and problem-resolution the PSC was baying with the hounds and running with the hares, giving credence to the most unreasonable, unwarranted, unjustifiable, unpatriotic, destructive, Machiavellian and anti-developmental utterances and actions of the joint Opposition.

The Government was never left to govern peacefully but had to contend with many impediments to governance, including budgetary cuts and valuable time wasted when the Finance Minister had to recurrently resort to the courts in order to resolve Opposition-driven impasses that denied him requisite funds with which to conduct the nation’s business; financial outlays like funding for a Linden Commission of Inquiry and the enforced payout of taxpayers’ dollars to people who were engaged

in criminal activities; time and resource-wasting exercises, plus much taxpayers’ dollars expended during and subsequent Opposition-engineered protest actions on one specious, nebulous and frivolous reason after another – all crafted to give Opposition relevance and demonstrate the joint Opposition’s power in the body politic, especially during this new configuration in Parliament.

The Opposition media constant charges on unsubstantiated allegations of corrupt actions on the part of Government functionaries were no help either: And all had axes to grind and agendas inimical to national interests.

All the while the PSC and other organisations, including heads of foreign missions, rather than acting as ameliorative intermediaries, kept stoking the fires of dissent in the nation by encouraging the joint Opposition destructive rhetoric and actions.

Allegations of corruption could have been investigated by the PSC, because the Government always provid-

ed audited accounts.

Responsible bodies could have broken impasses by intervening in the nation’s business – not by sitting on fences and playing one opponent against the other; but through constructive engagements where they displayed some degree of wisdom in determining the persons and political opportunists who were derailing national development and calling them out on their real intentions, which are clear to the wise and discerning.

However, it is as if they have a ‘death wish,’ because they encouraged the AFC to facilitate the games of the PNC (APNU is just a guise), to the detriment of national development in their various strategies and ploys to remove the PPP/C Government from office; which included the AFC’s no-confidence motion that was meant to immediately truncate the Donald Ramotar administration while simultaneously bring the 10th Parliament to an abrupt halt.

They are aware of the character of all the leaders

Is it race or politics?

AN Indo-Guyanese Minister of Government had a private telephone conversation with a member of the media. In this conversation, he used expletives and made some unfortunate remarks. He spoke to the likelihood of certain consequences should a newspaper continue to damage the reputation of innocent people. From all indications he did not contravene any law in that conversation.

This conversation was, without his consent recorded and made public. There was pandemonium in Guyana. The media came out in all their fury; the human rights associations, were loud in condemnation; lawyers associations were brutal in their judgment and public utterances; the Opposition politicians had a field day. The invasion

of privacy was made a non-issue. In a nutshell, they demanded the head of the Minister.

Rewind a little. A few years ago, a former Com-

missioner of Police’s telephone conversation was recorded as he spoke with a lawyer and the Chairman of the main Opposition party in the country. The recording was done, presumably, without their permission and made public. These gentle-

men are Afro-Guyanese.

The Police Commissioner has since joined the ranks of the same Opposition party and is now a Member of Parliament for that party. In that conversation, expletives were also used and derogatory remarks about women made.

Most importantly, a listener to this conversation heard the then Police Commissioner explaining how he was forced to divert the Police away from Agricola were a massacre was ongoing. Nearly a dozen people died. He said he did it to “help out y’all.”

A listener would’ve heard also an offer made to plant drugs on a woman at the airport whom was suspected of stealing money from this political party headquarters.

The very persons and organisations who de manded the head of the indo-Guyanese Minister defended the disclosure of this taped conversation.

The basis was that it was an invasion of privacy. The contention was that the invasion of privacy was greater than the content of the conversation. Instead of condemnation, there was support and sympathies.

In a nutshell, these two Afro-Guyanese were made into victims for the very reason that the indo Guyanese Minister was made a villain.

Now fast track a little.

An Afro-Guyanese lawyer and a Chairman of an Opposition party represents a person (Afro-Guyanese) charged with the murder of 13 persons including women and children (all indo Guyanese). This mas-

of the Opposition; as well as their managerial abilities – or lack thereof, and they yet have no concern that if their brinkmanship efforts prevail and the joint Opposition manage to re-install the PNC in office, Guyana would once again be plunged into the abyss; because this would be the ultimate outcome. Everyone is aware that the AFC cannot win an election in Guyana and are mere facilitators and abettors to the PNC power-seeking, self-aggrandizement ploys.

The AFC kept beating the drum of a no-confidence motion, long before they signalled their actual intention of subverting the nation’s business and killing the 10th Parliament with immediate effect; so why didn’t the PSC act judiciously to prevent the joint Opposition from taking this destructive step, which forced the Government to prorogue and thus keep alive

sacre occurred at Lusignan.

The jury sets the accused person free. Subsequently, it was discovered that this defence counsel represented the foreman of the jury (coincidentally, an Afro- Guyanese) in a civil case concluded not long before the murder case commenced but which lasted for seven long years. Both the foreman and the lawyer publicly accepted this fact. However, before the trial commenced both failed to disclose this information to the judge who specifically asked of every member of the jury and the lawyers, whether there was any connection between or among them and also the victims. Subsequently, the glib excuse of the lawyer was that he forgot that he represented the foreman in the civil case. The foreman of the jury had the decency to admit and he was banned for life from jury duties.

Again, not a word of condemnation from any of these persons or organisa-

the people’s business that were due for consideration by the National Assembly?

If the Donald Ramotar administration had been dismantled through passage of the no-confidence motion then what would have happened to all the projects and programmes, as well as the various existential mechanisms for both the citizenry and the entrepreneurial world to survive in Guyana?

From the inception of his governance President Donald Ramotar has been reaching out a friendly hand to all stakeholders in the nation, and that hand has been bitten by the Opposition ‘dogs of war’ recurrently, with bodies like the PSC gleefully looking on without even offering the President a balm; thus this call by the PSC that is meant to take the current administration straight into the bulldog’s slavering, diseased jaws is too little too late.

tions, including, the politicians, on this matter. In fact, the Bar Association President said it was not their business.

An examination of the three incidents outlined above should convey the clear impression that the conversation of the Minister pales into insignificance when compared with the conversation and the conduct of those involved in the other two incidents.

I believe serious gross official misconduct and several serious criminal offences may have been committed by persons in the latter two incidents. But rather than condemnation, however, there was either support or silence.

The question that I pose to right thinking members of the public is: “is it race or is it politics”?

I will keep my answer to myself.

Keep Personality out and focus on issues and not the individual

By Keith Burrowes

I’VE WRITTEN, in more than one column, if my memory serves me correctly, about a particular risk associated with public office: The risk of defamation, simply by virtue of serving in a politically contentious environment such as this one.

A former English teacher of mine used to like to offer the example of the assassination of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket, to demonstrate how weak leadership and sycophantism can combine to produce fatal consequences without a directly expressed intention.

According to the story, the King of England (I’ve forgotten which one exactly) was bothered by Becket’s public opposition to his acting against the rules of the Church. At a gathering of his court, the King simply exclaimed, to nobody in particular, “Would no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?”

A few months later four knights,

Try as I might, as much as I would like to illustrate the general lesson as my English teacher did, this is something that I’ve not only witnessed in relation to how it affects others, but something I’ve experienced myself, and have been a ‘victim,’ or attempted victim. And the best I can do in response is to humbly offer reason and restraint against what is clearly a widespread neurosis that we have here in Guyana.

Firstly, suppose that you are in a position of leadership and you find that a person’s actions, not simply their existence, are somehow detrimental to you adequately functioning in your position. If you are that person’s superior, or the system provides for your direct intervention in sanctioning that person, there is no need to beat around the bush and make what is referred to as passive-aggressive statements. If you are in a position to sanction that person, sanction that person, otherwise you are clearly complicit in that

“I wrote earlier this year on the issue of territoriality in the public service, and it remains true that the public service in Guyana is filled with little kings who’ve carved out their own respective individual territories, and anyone who infringes upon it is somehow subject to character assassination, not necessarily perpetrated by themselves, but often by their underlings acting on their hints, non-specific remarks or even attitude towards someone.” who were present when the King made that apparently only rhetorical query, assassinated Becket. While the King did not help the assassins while they were on the run, he also did nothing to ensure that they were brought to justice.

The more I serve in public capacities here in Guyana, the more examples I see that play out in a similar way to my old English teacher’s favourite fable. I wrote earlier this year on the issue of territoriality in the public service, and it remains true that the public service in Guyana is filled with little kings who’ve carved out their own respective individual territories, and anyone who infringes upon it is somehow subject to character assassination, not necessarily perpetrated by themselves, but often by their underlings acting on their hints, non-specific remarks or even attitude towards someone.

person’s faults. Unless it is of course that your criticisms are unfounded, and your intent is simply to defame that person.

Secondly, suppose that your superior has expressed a negative opinion about someone. Do you simply believe that opinion, without evidence? And if you do, what value is there in spreading this opinion, as it relates to your job? And what value is there in letting that opinion impact upon your treatment of that person?

Very often I’ve found that leaders of the type I’ve outlined above only encourage or promote subordinates who take in and amplify even their least prejudice - what they do is build a bureaucratic echo chamber.

The problem on a personal level is that no leader concerned with leadership as a character trait, as opposed to a status that perpetuates by any means necessary, ever encour-

ages sycophants around them - the quality of a leader is defined not by the quality of the follower. And for the follower, if you’re involved in public service simply to advance by parroting and mimicking what some insecure superior says, then you’re either going to remain in that subordinate position, or end up ascending in a system in which you can be subject to the same character assassination that you help to perpetuate.

I’m not saying that this sort of attitude is restricted to the public sector - some corporate cultures thrive on such dog eat dog competition, and others fail utterly because of it. But what makes this phenomenon particularly worrisome in the public service is because of that sacred concept of the public trust

and the social contract. People expect the State to work in their best interests, not in the interest of the personal ambitions and prejudices of individuals.

In a democracy - and arguably even in an aristocracy - the greater good is what should be paramount and while competition is a necessary part of life, what I have seen of recent is a situation where ‘competition’ in the public service has become so rabid, so personal, that it is fast moving from the place where people race to see who can do a public job better, and who is more deserving of the perks that come with high-level positions. If such a situation continues to prevail, it is the Guyanese people who will lose.

Finance a challenge for AFC -Vice Chairman Moses Nagamootoo - APNU facing similar situation

ALLIANCE For Change (AFC) vice chairman, Moses Nagamootoo has admitted that the party is working under difficult conditions, primary among which is access to financing for its political activities.

Addressing about 200 persons gathered at the Saint Stanislaus College auditorium for the party’s fourth Biennial Conference, Nagamootoo’s admission follows that of Joseph Harmon, General Secretary of the main political opposition coalition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), who told the Guyana Chronicle that financing for the party’s operations is limited.

However, both parties have since expressed confidence that, if there is a move to general and regional elections in the face of the current political impasse, the situation with financing would improve.

WHITHER THE WISDOM? Political pundits are therefore wondering at the wisdom of these Opposition political parties insisting on going to the polls rather than talk, given that they have both acknowledged challenges with financing, and that going to elections would cost the Government a pretty penny.

The estimated cost of holding any elections at this time is as much as $1.6B, which constitutes an expense that would be charged against hardworking Guyanese taxpayers.

The sum at reference is part of a $3.3B allocated to the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) in this year’s Budget. In event that it has to prepare to hold either general or regional elections, the $1.6B is intended to allow GECOM to exercise general direction and supervision over the registration of electors and the administrative conduct of all elections of members of the National Assembly, the Regional Democratic Councils (RDCs) and local authorities in Guyana.

TALKS REJECTED On November 18, President Donald Ramotar wrote APNU

leader Brigadier (rtd), David Granger, as Leader of the Main Opposition, inviting him to dialogue. After thumbing his nose on the President for almost three weeks, the APNU Leader acknowledged, in writing on Tuesday, receipt of the President’s invitation, but respectfully declined, saying that “APNU would be unprepared to participate in such a proposed dialogue for as long as the Parliament of Guyana remained prorogued.”

Prior to Granger’s letter, both APNU and the AFC had made it clear that they would not engage the President in talks unless the prorogation is lifted and parliamentary work resumes.

Since the President’s move to prorogue Parliament, there have been varying sentiments emanating from different sections of society, many being in support of the prorogation, which would facilitate dialogue in face of the current political impasse.

The President has always maintained that the need for dialogue was uppermost in his mind when he made his decision to prorogue Parliament. Paving the way for greater dialogue among political parties, he contends, would have kept the 10th Parliament alive to address critically important issues currently before the National Assembly.

The move to prorogue Parliament was made in face of an AFC-sponsored no-confidence motion against the Government. The effect of ending the first session of the 10th Parliament via prorogation is the termination of the business of the National Assembly. As a result, the AFC’s motion was not considered. Also APNU had, prior to November 10, signalled its intent to support tabling of the motion. If Parliament had not prorogued and the no-confidence motion had been passed, Guyana would have been headed to early general elections within three months.

If there is a move to general elections, given the recent pronouncements by APNU and AFC, it would come more than a year early. The last general and regional elections were held in November 2011.

GAPSO responds to robbery-under-arms allegation by security officer

THE Guyana Association of Private Security Organisations (GAPSO) is profoundly disappointed with the report which appeared recently in sections of the media alleging that a member of the private security industry has been charged and remanded to prison for robberyunder-arms.

GAPSO has indicated in a press release that it finds this kind of alleged criminal conduct tasteless and offensive, and has noted that management is extremely angry that any security officer would squander the goodwill that GAPSO has worked so hard to build within our community.

The release dictated that security officers have chosen a profession that elevates them above the expectations of regular citizens, and as such are expected to act accordingly. It noted that the very prospect that a security officer could possibly exploit this trust in such

a vile and inexcusable way is highly disappointing and embarrassing.

The release stated that GAPSO knows it is critical to understand that this robbery-under-arms allegation should not reflect on the exemplary professionalism of its members or those of the private security industry.

While this incident is very troubling and tugs at the integrity of GAPSO and its members, the organisation says, it is an isolated incident and is by no means a reflection of the thousands of security officers who perform their duties with honour and professionalism on a daily basis.

GAPSO has said its members are dedicated to continuing the professional service that our community has grown to expect and deserve, and that its members will continue to protect and serve the community while maintaining the continued high professional standard that is expected of every security officer.

The release, in conclusion, pointed out that GAPSO is the leading professional association of security practitioners in Guyana, and that it promotes the highest standards of b e h a v i o u r t h r o u g h a d v o c a c y, collaboration, education, and promotion of high ethical standards in the operation and management of security services within Guyana.

GAPSO says its members represent virtually every industry in the public and private sectors and organisations of all sizes.

GAPSO provides exceptional member service, ongoing 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” GAPSO concludes its release.

PPP notes AFC’s deviation from election of presidential and prime ministerial candidates THE People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has noted that contrary to the much vaunted view expressed

by Nagamootoo and Ramjattan that the presidential and prime ministerial candidates of the AFC must be elected at their party’s convention this has not happened.

The party added that it is to be recalled that prior to his failed attempt to win support for his “Leadership or nothing” bid within the PPP, Nagamootoo had complained that the selection of the PPP’s presidential and prime ministerial candidates should have been done at a congress of the Party.

It is widely acknowledged by AFC members, supporters and sympthasisers that Nagamootoo is highly unpopular within his Party and would never be elected as the presidential candidate of the AFC were he to stand for such a high office at a convention of the AFC. The PPP in a statement MOSES NAGAMOOTOO issued yesterday said: “It is for this reason that Nagamootoo and Ramjattan have conspired against upholding the pathway to elect the Presidential and Prime Ministerial candidate of the AFC at their convention and have instead opted for the same pathway they had once openly rejected.”

“The AFC’s strategy conforms to that of the APNU which is to set up Nagamootoo as the ‘go-for’ for PPP votes knowing that Nigel Hughes is more popular within the AFC but will not succeed in wooing PPP voters. The strategy therefore is to set up Nagamootoo as the errand boy to woo PPP voters and then later to use him as the delivery boy to deliver whatever paltry votes the AFC may win to the APNU with the hope of increasing the joint Opposition’s votes at the upcoming elections.”

“The PPP is convinced that this strategy will fail and will backfire on both the AFC and APNU. The AFC is experiencing severe heat on the ground with hundreds of its supporters re-migrating back to the PPP.” “The AFC has long been exposed as the hand maiden of the APNU. Thus, the hypocritical and opportunistic expression that the AFC is willing to join forces with the PPP is nothing than but a smoke screen to cover up their nefarious plan to work jointly with APNU at the upcoming election in an effort to grab political power.”

“Guyanese and sugar workers in particular have long recognised that the AFC is in bed with the APNU and that they have failed to deliver on their promises.”

“This time around both the AFC and APNU are in for a big surprise by the Guyanese electorate.”

Commentary

Partner Notification as a Prevention Strategy:

A Social System Perspective “The transmission of AIDS constitutes a harm done to others and therefore needs to be addressed strategically to modify high-risk behaviour, paying particular attention to privacy and confidentiality.”

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

ETHICAL ISSUES The transmission of AIDS constitutes a harm done to others and therefore needs to be addressed strategically to modify high-risk behaviour, paying particular attention to privacy and confidentiality. Bayer and Toomey 4 present two approaches being used in partner notification programmes: the duty of physicians to warn where they have knowledge of the identity of the person at risk and contact tracing, where the physician may be unaware of the identity of the person(s) at risk. The authors contend

may generate a conflict between confidentiality and societal interests, as when physicians report communicable diseases.

Violation of confidentiality therefore has to be assessed on an individual basis and carefully balanced against any adverse impact on society. This violation cannot be applied as a general rule in the physician-patient relationship, especially in the case of AIDS as a viral infection.

OTHER PARTNER NOTIFICATION ISSUES Partner notification must be voluntary to satisfy the needs, will and perceptions of different constituencies and to eliminate objections presented against its usage. Some criticisms of partner notification are as follows:

Part 2

believed a cure for syphilis would promote sexual promiscuity.

Thus, the cost factor in the treatment of AIDS is not only dependent upon its potential results, but also upon the negative social images associated with the disease.

Another argument against partner notification is its negligible value, 7 as currently there is no cure for AIDS. Despite this fact, there is treatment. Early administration of zidovudine (AZT) extends the symptomless period of infection.11 Mortality among patients with advanced HIV infection declined from 29.7 per 100 person-years in 1995 to 8.8 per 100 person-years in the second quarter of 1997, 12 a change attributable to the availability of HAART. Prophylaxis against P. carinii pneumonia and other opportunistic infections, reduces their frequency and severity. 13 The incurability of AIDS at this time requires a new thrust toward developing a better quality of life for persons infected with HIV/AIDS and creating a priority for the development of effective partner notification programmes, with the intent to eliminate the further spread of HIV.

that partner notification programmes have been embroiled in controversy where processes that are essentially voluntary are perceived as mandatory, and those that observe confidentiality are seen as an invasion of privacy.

Ethical issues predominate in virtually all planning discussions of partner notification.

Some of these issues are the duty to warn, the right to know, the responsibility to protect the public health, the right of confidentiality and privacy, the need for protection against discrimination, and the duty to protect the family and social relationships. Confidentiality of the patient's data must be protected as "the patient in analysis must learn to freely associate and to break down resistance to deal with unconscious threatening thoughts and feelings. To revoke secrecy after encouraging such risk-taking is to threaten all future interactions." 5 Confidentiality, if perceived by the patient to be secured, may enable the patient to provide full disclosure of symptoms, causes, and persons exposed.

Confidentiality also is necessary to safeguard the rights of privacy. However, Walters 6 argues that there are valid grounds for violating the principle of confidentiality. First, the principle of confidentiality may conflict with the rights of the patient himself, as when the patient may be a threat to himself. Second, the principle may produce a conflict with the rights of an innocent third party, as in the case of a bride-to-be who may not know the bridegroom-to-be has a viral infection, but her physician knows. Should the physician provide full disclosure? In such a case, the physician can invoke a "privilege to disclose" and effect the warning, even if the HIVinfected individual withholds consent. Third, the principle

• Too expensive to effect partner notification programmes • No curative treatment for AIDS • Personal stigmatization and discrimination against AIDS Potterat et al. 7 argued against these objections.

Voluntary partner notification of HIV status is cost effective when we consider that all of the 35,000 cases of syphilis (CDC, MMWR, 1988), 40% of gonorrhea 8 (CDC, STD, 1988), and a number of chlamydia cases, are methodically checked for sexual partner data. For 100,000 AIDS cases, the cost of a partner notification programme in the United Sates is estimated to be $20 million annually. In Sweden, the cost factor is $460 U.S. per newly identified HIV-positive patient, 9 quite comparable to the unit cost of $810 for a new HIV patient in the United States. 10 The costs have to be weighed against the benefits of halting the spread of HIV. However, the issue of cost for easily treatable STDs, in which transmission is blocked by readily available treatment, is very different from that of HIV, where there is no cure or drug to block transmission.

The issue of curability is distinct from one of treatment with the intention to eliminating the spread of HIV, as is virtually possible for all other STDs. Nevertheless, the partner notification approach could be a preventive measure if it is effective in identifying new cases.

Brandt 2 makes the point that negative social meanings and inadequate public funding related to venereal disease (VD) can impede medical efforts. Even with the discovery of penicillin, VD researchers expressed indifference as they

Poor turnout at AFC 4th Biennial Congress…

AFC’s Ramjattan endorses Nagamootoo as presidential candidate; Hughes as prime ministerial candidate SINCE making its way into the electoral arena in 2005, the Alliance For Change (AFC) has consistently remained Guyana’s least supported party, this is the continued case evidenced by the poor turnout at yesterday’s congress.

At the AFC’s 4th Biennial Congress, party Leader, Khemraj Ramjattan endorsed former People’s Progressive Party (PPP) executive member, Moses Nagamootoo as the presidential candidate for the AFC. While it was previously announced that neither the presidential nor the prime ministerial candidates will be endorsed that day, Ramjattan, breaking the initial, promise expressed during his address, his full support for Nagamootoo and Hughes as the party’s presidential and prime ministerial team.

Notably, the party’s congress, which was initially slated for October came at a time when the party is facing challenges, some of which are expected to cause some amount of unease within the party. Resignations which rank top of the list as a significant loss was felt when Sasenarine Singh, who was considered the party’s Finance Chief had tendered his letter of resignation.

Hughes had also tendered his resignation but it was not accepted. His resignation came after it was reported that he was the Company Secretary of Amaila Falls Hydro Inc. However, Hughes in a release had said “the incorporation of the Amaila Falls Hydro Inc and my appointment as secretary had been a matter of public record since the incorporation of the Company in April 2009.

Prior to that, in March 2013, AFC Councillor Charrandas Persaud decided to leave the party over “recognition issues,” which were among a long list of his concerns that are yet to be addressed.

Several other members, including Dr. Asquith Rose and Tarron Khemraj, had resigned from the party and joined A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), because of unresolved conflicts and differences on policy issues and decisions taken by the AFC’s current leadership.

The AFC representative on the Region 2 (Pomeroon/ Supenaam) Regional Democratic Council (RDC), Archie Cordis, has also parted ways with the party.

In early October this year, former AFC Region 6 (East Berbice/ Corentyne) Councillor, Haseef Yusuf, a very vocal critic of the party, was replaced by popular businessman, Devindra Sookraj.

On the matter of the AFC losing ground in the very areas the party managed to sway supporters of the ruling party, as early as Monday, the PPP General Secretary, Clement Rohee, noted that the indications of a “dwindling support base” are clear.

He said: “This is a clear indication that those who voted for the party has lost confidence in them and are therefore returning to the PPP/C which has over the years upkept it’s programmes and policies all aimed at improving the lives of all Guyanese. The turnout at both rallies which were held over the weekend was less than favourable. “…the hopes of AFC presidential candidate, Moses

From left, AFC General Secretary, David Patterson; AFC Leader, Khemraj Ramjattan; AFC Chairman, Nigel Hughes; and AFC Vice Chairman, Moses Nagamootoo, with Chairperson of the Congress, Valarie Lowe at podium Nagamottoo to garner support for his party from East Berbice communities seem to be dwindling as most residents from Whim and Port Mourant boycotted two rallies by the party.”

The AFC Leader, in an invited comment to this

newspaper, has since denied that this assertion ‘holds any water.’

Presently, as it relates to the division in the party, one faction prefers to be aligned to APNU and another is opposed to it.

Geotextile tubes have improved Kingston/Kitty seawall shoreline POST-INSTALLATION surveys carried out on the geotextile tubes along the Kingston/Kitty seawall have indicated that the shoreline has improved with much wider foreshore areas being created.

Over a three-month period – April to July - the Ministry of Public Works installed six tubes to form a groyne field.

The project is an initiative under the 2014 Sea Defence Programme.

Amitab Babulal, one of the ministry’s Sea Defence Engineers who executed the project, stated that over the past few months there have been significant sand deposition recorded on the foreshore area.

“The geotextile tubes have contributed to beach stabilisation and the retention of shell/sand/sediment drifting in the westerly direction. In recent years, the sediments have been moving towards the Demerara River channel, which

The geotubes were installed earlier in the year

would pose a challenge to marine/maritime businesses and operators,” Mr. Babulal explained.

Due to the success of the beach material retention, the ministry is identifying other vulnerable sites to replicate the exercise.

According to Jermaine Braithwaite, a MPWs Senior Engineer, geotextile tubes contribute to long-term shoreline management and promoting sustainable protection of the shoreline.

“Parts of Guyana’s shorelines have experienced erosion and overtopping due to the impact of high- energy waves, and we have a rapid installation method that could help mitigate these adverse effects,” he added.

Areas under consideration include No. 63 Beach, sites on Leguan and Devonshire Castle, Essequibo Coast.

SCOPE OF WORKS The works entail the installation of three geotextile tube (geotube) groynes of length 100m and circumference 6.4m wide. Each groyne was constructed by sand-filling two 50m long geotextile tubes which were installed with a butt joint interface to form a continuous unit along the design alignment for each groyne.

Mr. Babulal also noted that the tubes have minimum impact on the environment and the levels of maintenance required are low.

“Geotube structures are also a cost-effective alternative when compared to traditional marine materials and methods. They are fabricated from a high–strength, specially engineered, woven textile with special highstrength seaming techniques to resist pressures during pumping operations,” he added.

Mr. Babulal points to an area that has improved with the installation of the geotubes

Simpli Royal seeking a Mashramani Queen for a culture-defining pageant SIMPLI ROYAL is pleased to announce that the Miss Mashramani Queen pageant is here once more, after a period of absence. This pageant will serve as an excellent showcase of Guyana’s cultural diversity, multiplicity of talent, and aesthetic value in the context of our peoples, Simpli Royal says.

Under the theme “One People, One Culture, One Celebration,” the organisers say they intend to showcase a seven-week reality series capturing the preparatory and promotional aspects of the show and things Guyanese, making it a production that punctuates the uniqueness of Mashramani.

The Miss Guyana Mashramani Queen pageant is billed for February 14, 2015 at the National Cultural Centre, and the Mash Queen International is billed for February 22, 2015.

The segments include a sizzling national dress performance in which each delegate will showcase her costume concept, which will be on a topic of relevance and interest culturally.

The swimsuit segment will emphasise a healthy, attractive feminine figure for the delegate’s body type, and top scores would be awarded for confidence, personality and stage presence. This must also be a showcase of things Guyanese.

Next is the individual talent competition, which sees each delegate doing a four-minute presentation in song, dance and

drama, or playing of an instrument, or a combination of these.

Again, a Guyanese theme will be incorporated, and delegates would be judged on execution, originality, creativity and entertainment value.

Evening elegance is next, and this most glamorous portion of the pageant will attract scores based on elegance, carriage, poise and stage presence.

Each delegate will be interviewed live on pageant night, giving all of the delegates the opportunity to make a positive impression and to test her communication skills.

She must convey passion in her thoughts and ideas.

Eligible delegates must be between the ages of 18 and 25; and must never been married, never given birth, been born female, of good moral character, have not engaged in conduct unbecoming to the Miss Mashramani Queen pageant, have not been convicted of any crime, and must be familiar with our culture as Guyanese.

During the upcoming weeks, Simpli Royal will be accepting applications and seeking collaboration with the business community to make the pageant a partnership that would be cherished and preserved for the life of the pageant and beyond. This pageant would serve as a marketing tool which would highlight the unique heritage of Guyana, and

help to carve our cultural branding, both at home and abroad.

Interested participants can call Ms. Pamela Dillon, Managing Director of Simpli Royal, on telephone numbers 231-8148 or 665-4565 for more information.

Guyanese dominate CSEC top awards

SUNDAY CHRONICLE December 7, 2014

-Education investments paying handsome dividends GUYANA’S massive investments in the education sector continue to reap rich harvests for the country. This was amply manifested, when four local students garnered rich returns for excellent performances at the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC).

On December 4, the country was the show piece of the Region, as four Guyanese students picked up specialised awards for their outstanding performances, at this year’s Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) exams.

The prestigious award for Most Outstanding Candidate Overall was taken by Elisa Hamilton from Queen’s College; this by itself contributing to Queens’s College, taking away the Most Outstanding School Hamilton achieved grade ones in 19 subjects: Agricultural Science (double award): Biology: Chemistry: English A; English B; Food and Nutrition; French; Geography; Home Economics Management; Information Technology; Integrated Science; Mathematics; Physics; Principles of Business; Social Studies; Spanish; Electronic Document Preparation and Management; Physical Education and Sport; Human and Social Biology; and a grade two in Religious Education.

The Most Outstanding Award for Humanities went to another Queen’s College prodigy, Aliyyah Abdul Kadir. She scored grade ones in 15 subjects. Ryhan Chand, yet another from Queen’s College, took home the Most Outstanding Student in Business award, chalking up grade ones in 13 subjects.

The final student, Kishan Critchlow, of New Amsterdam Multilateral School, broke the Queen’s College sequence; he was awarded the Most Outstanding Student in Technical/ Vocation Education.

The students’ tokens for their excellent output were quite substantial-a plaque of recognition, a cash prize and a dictionary, for each of them. The tokens were buttressed with promissory letters for full scholarships, to pursue studies at the Mona Campus, contingent upon their completing and excelling at the CAPE exams.

No wonder the Guyanese explained that they were continuing studies at the CAPE level, hoping to attend UWI in the near future.

In 2013, Guyana won five of the eight awards offered. The winners were: Yogeeta Persaud-Anna Regina Secondary School, Overall Outstanding Achievement; Rafena Mustapha-Saraswati Vidya Niketan, Most Outstanding in Humanities; Cecil CoxQueen’s College, Most Outstanding in Sciences; Sasha S Woodroffe-Queen’s College, Most Outstanding in Business Studies; and Zimeena A Rasheed-Anna Regina Secondary School, Most Outstanding in Technical Vocational.

DOUBLE FEATURE The night was a double feature, as students for both CSEC and the Caribbean

Advanced Proficiency Exams (CAPE) were honoured, at a ceremony, attended by officials and dignitaries from across the Region at the regional headquarters of the University of the West Indies, Mona, Kingston, Jamaica.

CONTINUE PRESSING ON Professor Nigel Harris ,Vice Chancellor and Chairman of UWI, in his feature address to the students, not only complimented them, but also exhorted that they ‘press on’ as much as possible, both in terms of their academic

able to communicate and speak as well… other interests such as debating will make you rounded individuals. And I know we don’t have nerds here, like people think.”

Harris’ joy must have been immense on the occasion, as he himself is Guyanese and a former Queen’s College student. He is a UWI stalwart and is set to leave UWI Mona, in May 2015.

He acknowledged that the students’ achievements, high as they are at the moment, form only the first steps to success. “You can’t

Outstanding Candidate in Technical Studies for CAPE as well.

This school was adjudged the most outstanding school for CAPE. The other CSEC awards went to Kristan Mohamed-the Most Outstanding Candidate in Short Story-writing; and Nneka Toni Jonesthe Most Outstanding Candidate in Visual Arts, three-dimensional work for CSEC. The Jamaican candidates comprised Nile Anderson, who received the Most Outstanding Candidate in Sciences (with grade

The Guyanese students with the Chairman of the University of the West Indies lives and in being engaged in extra-curricular activities.

He admonished that academic studies and extra-curricular activities mould characters; they work in tandem, and one is not at the expense of the other. The soon-to-exit UWI Head pointed out that the awardees all debunked the myth that academics are not normal people.

Professor Harris explained that he was very cognisant of the fact that too many people criticise the top students, unjustly chiding them for sitting a plethora of subjects, thinking that this creates imbalances and peculiarities in them. He highlighted the startling reality, that the awardees were all well-rounded and gifted, being proficient in a number of non-academic areas-sports, dancing, singing, and debating.

He further opined that even though “Knowledge learning is important, there are a number of (other) important things. The book knowledge is not always important… being

slack off now; if you want these scholarships, you have to continue working.”

Harris was quick to point out, that even though the West Indies is not trouble-free and is still facing a number of challenges, the CXC and CAPE remain stirring examples of the Region’s succeeding and producing brilliant people of the highest merit-scholars, politicians and academics for the future.

OTHER AWARDEES Apart from Guyana’s success story, Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica enjoyed academic glory on the occasion. Trinidad and Tobago copped nine awards for both CAPE and CSEC; while Jamaica received three awards.

Students from Trinidad’s Naparima Girls’ High School received three awards: Most Outstanding Candidate in Visual Arts, two-dimensional work-Shivana Sookdeo (CSEC), and for CAPE, Sushma Karim; she also took the Most Outstanding CAPE Candidate Overall in the Caribbean; and Celeste Jaggai-Most

ones in 13 subjects and grade twos in three subjects at CSEC); Romario White, from Campion College, who received the Most Outstanding Candidate in Natural Sciences award for CAPE; and Jozelle Dixon, from Wolmer’s Girls High School, who was the Most Outstanding Candidate in Humanities also for CAPE.

CAPE AWARDEES The other CAPE awards went to Arifa Satnarine, for Most Outstanding Candidate in Modern Languages; Ranissa Mathura, for Most Outstanding Candidate in Environmental Science; Mandela Patrick, for Most Outstanding Candidate in Mathematics, and Most Outstanding Candidate in Information and Communication Technology and Sharda Goolcharran, for Most Outstanding Candidate for Business Studies. All of these CAPE awardees hail from the twin-island of Trinidad and Tobago GINA.

CHRONICLE WEEKEND ROUNDUP with Telesha Ramnarine DECEMBER 1-6, 2014 MONDAY 1 Alleged drug addict disarms policeman, shoots neighbour then kills himself A MIDDLE-aged East Bank taxi driver said to be a drug addict, relieved a policeman, who happens to be his cousin, of his firearm, shot his neighbour, then turned the weapon on himself.

Dead is Samuel La Fleur, 46, of 193 Back Street, Prospect, East Bank Demerara. The injured neighbour is Onica Lyttle, 32, who received a gunshot wound in the back. The incident stemmed from an argument earlier in the day between La Fleur and his mother.

Current rice crop pegged at over 630,000 tonnes –export heading for 500,000 tonnes THE Ministry of Agriculture has not yet released its targeted rice production for 2015, but Agriculture Minister, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy, said that he does not foresee that the 2015 production will be less than 600,000 tonnes. Guyana’s rice production for the first time surpassed 600,000 tonnes, a record that was broken on October 27 with just under 86 per cent of the crop harvested.

Ramsammy said in 2015 the industry is expected to sustain this production, despite the fact that the prices offered for rice and paddy in this second crop were not as high as those offered in the first crop, and certainly below those offered in 2013.

Over 600 graduate from IDCE WHAT started out with over 600 applicants who sought to further their education through the Institute for Distance and Continuing Education (IDCE), saw a remarkable achievement Saturday by a majority of these individuals, when they graduated at the 38th annual graduation exercise, which was held at the University of Guyana, Turkeyen Campus. Students graduated in the areas of Industrial Relations and Management; Early Childhood Development; Early Childhood Education; Supervisory management; Marketing Management; Academic Upgrading; Mathematics, English Language, Principles of Business, Principles of Accounts and Office Administration; Proficiency in Mathematics and English Language; Introduction to Social Work; Care of the Elderly; and Sign Language. ***************************************** TUESDAY 2 Rohee: ‘Direction of the winds’ indicates early general elections THE possibility of a move to early general and regional elections in Guyana is increasing, General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Clement Rohee said. “With how the winds are blowing, it looks like we are headed for another general election,” he said. His comments follow the disclosure by President Donald Ramotar that an announcement on the way forward, following the much talked about November 10 prorogation of Parliament, can be expected shortly. “I do not intend to recall the Parliament and prorogue it again. Very soon, I will be making an announcement on the way forward,” Mr. Ramotar said.

Radio Needy Children’s Fund marks 60th Anniversary RADIO Needy Children’s Fund (RNCF) last Friday celebrated its Diamond Jubilee (60th Anniversary) with a gala fund-raising dinner at the Guyana Pegasus Hotel. There were many expressions of gratitude to members of the organisation (past and present) who have shown commitment and dedication and continue to do voluntary work in service to the nation’s children. And in her welcome address, Chair of the RNCF, Mrs. Molly Hassan, also expressed gratitude to all partners and friends for their continued support towards the organisation.

“Reflecting on this our Diamond Jubilee, the board of RNCF is proud of its achievement – none of which could have happened without your support,” Mrs. Hassan said.

She continued: “We at RNCF wish to express our profound gratitude to all our partners and friends who would have contributed towards the execution of our programmes, and look forward to your continued support for the years to come.”

Police fete almost 400 Tiger Bay children CLOSE to four hundred children were feted by the Guyana Police Force as the ‘A’ Division under Divisional Commander Clifton Hicken continues to roll out Christmas parties to various communities in the city and outskirts. The young ones in Tiger Bay performed dances, poems, songs, acrostics and other cultural displays for police ranks and other special invitees.

The day’s planned event in Tiger Bay was carried on despite incessant rain as the celebration for the children became a grand party.

Senior police from ‘A’ Division, parents of the children and some members of the Brickdam Police Station Management Committee were thrilled at the children’s spectacular show. ***************************************** WEDNESDAY 3 Dialogue rejected…

Objectives of prorogation lost – Dr. Luncheon THE prorogation of Parliament on November 10 and its objectives have been lost, according to Dr. Roger Luncheon, who added that there is now no value in prolonging prorogation.

“This is the time to look at alternatives,” the Head of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS) said. His comment follows Tuesday’s acknowledgment of President Donald Ramotar’s invitation for dialogue – the intent of the prorogation – by Leader of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), Brigadier (rtd), David Granger.

The Opposition Leader in his response was emphatic in his assertion that there will be “no talks” with the current sdministration, unless the November 10 prorogation of Parliament is lifted.

BIT graduates 78 in Bartica THE Government over the years has been working to ensure that all Guyanese have a chance to be trained in some aspects of work. In this regard, the National Training Programme for Youth Empowerment (NTPYE) and the Single Parent Training Programme, administered by the Board of Industrial Training (BIT) have been providing a good opportunity to persons to qualify themselves with varying skills. The work force is empowered annually by skilled persons who have undergone training under BIT. Last week 78 persons from Bartica, Region 7 (Cuyuni/Mazaruni), graduated in several disciplines: engineering (29), building construction (5), health services (8), information technology (16), and home economics (10), while 10 single parents completed training in catering.

Gov’t appoints new Bank of Guyana Governor, Deputy Governor THE Government of Guyana announced the appointments of Dr. Gobind Nauth Ganga as Governor of the Bank of Guyana (BOG), and Mr. Leslie Glen as Deputy Governor with effect from November 8, 2014.

Dr. Ganga was appointed by President Donald Ramotar and Mr. Glen by Minister of Finance, Dr. Ashni Singh. The appointments of Governor and Deputy Governor come on the heels of the passing of the previous Governor, Dr. Lawrence Williams earlier this year. Dr. Ganga holds an MA and PhD in Economics from the University of Manitoba, and a BA in Economics and Administrative Studies from the University of Winnipeg, Canada. Mr. Glen, meanwhile, has an MS in Monetary Economics from the University of Glasgow, Scotland, and a BS in Economics from the University of Guyana. He has been serving the Bank of Guyana since 1980 in several key positions. During the period 1997 and 2006, Mr. Glen was Chairman of the National Clearing House in Guyana. ***************************************** THURSDAY 4 PPP apologises for wrongfully labelling Shaquille Grant THE People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has noted the call for an apology by the mother of Shaquille Grant concerning a statement issued in the name of the Party in which Shaquille Grant was wrongly deemed a “criminal.” A clarification was sought at the weekly press conference of the Party where the PPP general secretary, in response, had promised to ascertain the veracity of the contents of the statement.

The Party has since done so, and has determined that there was no justification in describing Shaquille Grant as a criminal.

In the circumstances, the Party offers an unequivocal apology to the mother of Shaquille Grant for this unfounded assertion, and for any hurt and harm caused.

CAHFSA to stimulate intra-regional trade in ‘agri’ products 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 increase 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. 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.

CARREX to be fully operational by year end THE Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Rapid Alert System for Exchange of Information on Dangerous (non-food) Consumer Goods (CARREX) is expected to be completely operational at the national and regional levels by the end of 2014. Representatives from national standards bureaux in CARICOM are being trained at a Regional Workshop in Suriname on matters relating to the CARREX and consumer product safety. The Community Strategic Plan 2015-2019 identifies, among other areas for priority focus, the accelerated implementation of the CSME, building competitiveness and unleashing key economic drivers to transition to growth and to generate employment and the development of human capital. ***************************************** FRIDAY 5 Magistrate Chandra Sohan appeals indefinite suspension

by JSC MAGISTRATE Chandra Sohan is appealing his indefinite suspension, a decision handed down by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC). The suspension followed a complaint to the JSC by a virtual complainant (female), whose case relative to a domestic violence charge, was being heard by Sohan.

The JSC, in the last few weeks, has been taking firm action over the behaviour of professionals in the judiciary. Only last week, Sparendaam Magistrate Alex Moore was suspended by the JSC, also indefinitely, after allegations of inappropriate behaviour by an East Coast Demerara businesswoman. Moore and several other magistrates have come in for criticism by both members of the public and organisations, the most recent coming from the Guyana Police Force (GPF).

UG launches first newspaper FIFTY years after its establishment, the University of Guyana (UG) recently launched its first newspaper, Splash, with the motive of capturing “a bit of everything” at its two prestigious campuses at Turkeyen and in Berbice. The newspaper aims to target a daily scope of the campuses activities as well as a synopsis of the neighbouring Cyril Potter College of Education (CPCE) students’ life. Reasonably priced at $100, ‘Splash’ is a bi-weekly publication that will provide a platform for airing students’ voices to help in heightening its current standard. ‘Splash’ was ideally an online media entity with the mentioned motive birthed by recently graduated law student, Sherod Avery Duncan.

Police arrest ex-cops believed to be ‘cop’ bandits POLICE managed to apprehend two suspects believed to be the men who have been donning police uniforms and perpetrating armed robberies on persons travelling to and from the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA). Sleuths in ‘A’ Division reported that acting on information, they raided a dwelling house in North Ruimveldt in which they found items and other articles, including documents belonging to robbery victims; consequently, the men were taken into custody.

Communities in Region 3 benefit from ‘Clean Up My Country’ initiative UNDER the “Clean-Up My Country” Programme, residents of Region 3, Essequibo Islands/West Demerara are being given an opportunity to dispose of their bulk waste in an environmentally friendly manner and by extension have their communities cleaned, since illegal garbage piles are being removed.

Just recently, during a site visit on the West Coast of Demerara, Mr. Bramhanand Singh, Special Projects Officer of the Min-

up service.

According to Singh, Vreed-en-Hoop was scheduled for community clean-up and bulk waste removal on Thursday, 4 December, 2014. However, due to the high commercial activities and heavy flow of traffic in the community, the team has opted to extend the sanitation and aesthetics improvement programme to Sunday, December 7, 2014.

The ministry’s representative also expressed great concern over the numerous piles of

of Mora/Parika to Toevlugt/Patentia, as well as Wakenaam and Leguan, have been targeted for the Regional Clean-Up Programme.

When asked to make a comparison of the waste carted away from Regions 4, 5 and 6, Singh said, “The volume of bulk waste collected in Region No. 3 is far less than that collected in Regions No. 4, 5 and 6 thus far. He pointed out that in some areas, as in the case of Zeelugt, two trucks

and the exercise is welcomed by the residents since the service provides an avenue for them to get rid of bulk waste free of cost; many persons cannot afford to pay the private disposal service to dispose of the bulk waste.”

The chairman has expressed concern over the number of garbage piles in communities and deems this as “very unsightly.” Julius Faerber said that the region has begun to prosecute persons who are found dumping in public spaces. In addition, the Regional

some of the “Clean-Up My Country” initiatives that were undertaken istry of Local Government and Regional Development (MLG&RD) who is overseeing the Regional Community Clean-Up and Bulk Waste Removal exercise, said that the exercise is moving ahead except that it is very time-consuming when it comes to transporting and disposing of debris.

Singh explained that due to this uncontrollable element, the teams are forced to repeat the service in several areas since residents are responding well to the pick-

both domestic and commercial garbage piles his teams are encountering. Singh pointed out that there is one such pile in the heart of the commercial area in Vreed-en-Hoop; based on his estimation, that pile is in excess of 12 truckloads.

The Bulk Waste Removal Programme commenced on Monday, December 1, 2014 and is expected to be completed on Sunday, December 7, 2014. All communities within the Neighbourhood Democratic Councils

are operating in the community to remove numerous garbage piles which are scattered along roadsides and the shoulders of waterways.

In an invited comment, the Regional Chairman, Region No 3, Mr. Julius Faerber on behalf of the citizens of Essequibo Islands/ West Demerara said, “We are very thankful that the Government has put aside some money to clean up our region.” According to the regional chairman, “Persons are very happy

Democratic Council has mounted “no-dumping signs” in several hot spots across the 14 NDCs in the region. The chairman is calling on residents and business owners “to desist from dumping” along the roads, streets and into waterways.

The next administrative region to benefit from this Government of Guyana initiative is Region No. 2, Pomeroon/Supenaam from Monday December 8, 2014 to Sunday December 14, 2014.

More kudos for Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation

-as partly paralyzed man undergoes successful brain surgery

By Shirley Thomas THE Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) has again come in for kudos. This time, from a deeply gratified and rejoicing East Coast Demerara family, whose loved one’s life was hanging precariously in the balance, but who was saved after a successful surgery at the institution.

Fifty-four-year-old, Winston Khan, last Saturday woke up to find that his left hand and foot were numb and he could not

move them. In fact, in his words, his left side was “completely dead.”

Naturally, Khan panicked and called out to his wife. She quickly alerted other family members and a decision was made to take him to the GPHC. On arrival at the Accident and Emergency (A&E) Unit, he was triaged then sent on to the treatment area where he was seen by a doctor. He was subjected to a Computerized Tomography (CT) Scan and other tests, but the results of the CT scan determined that there was a clot in his

brain, which was responsible for the condition he was suffering.

Khan was almost immediately prepared for surgery and taken to the main operating theatre where he was operated on.

The doctor removed the clot from his brain and hours later he was wheeled out of theatre and into the recovery room.

On awakening, he was surprised to find that the life lost in his hand and foot had been restored and that, incredibly, See page 15

President Ramotar speaks on Prorogation and Budget 2015

THE prorogation of Parliament into April 2015 could affect that year’s budget, but President Donald Ramotar is confident that there are provisions which allow his Administration to spend from public funds.

“In all of these circumstances the constitution… and the laws of our country provide how spending of public funds are done within this period of time,” President Ramotar told reporters yesterday during a press conference on the prorogation of the 10th Parliament at State House.

“Parliament is prorogued,” he continued, adding that there are currently no special laws in Guyana which govern spending during prorogation. The President suggested that the Government must then “spend within the budget” of the previous fiscal year.

Asked to specify what laws allow the Government to access public funds even when the National Assembly has not approved, the President responded: “There are a whole body of laws that governs Government spending if elections are called.”

It is unclear what specific laws the President was referring to. However, Article 220 paragraph 3 of the Constitution speaks to the ability of the Government, through the finance minister, to spend if Parliament is dissolved.

President Ramotar has not dissolved Parliament, but his doing so would not only trigger elections but would activate the provi-

sions of Article 220 paragraph 3, which states that if Parliament is dissolved before any actions are taken to authorise monies from public funds, “the minister responsible for finance may authorise the withdrawal of such sums from the Consolidated fund.”

The minister must however prove that monies taken from the Consolidated Fund are used for the purpose “of meeting expenditure on the public services.” The Consolidated Fund in normal circumstances could be accessed only by support from the National Assembly.

The procedure follows that after the new Parliament meets, a statement must be presented to the National Assembly by the finance minister or any other minister who was identified by the President. “When the statement has been approved by the Assembly, that expenditure shall be included, under the appropriate heads, in the next Appropriation Bill,” the legislation also read.

By his own admission, President Ramotar has made numerous attempts to engage the Opposition for dialogue, but the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC) both maintained that no dialogue will be had until Parliament is reconvened.

Carl Greenidge, APNU’s Shadow Minister of Finance, speaking to this publication some time ago on the options available to the Government for consideration of budgetary estimates for 2015, had stated that in normal circumstanc-

President Donald Ramotar addresses reporters at State House es, “You would expect them to convene” a sitting of the National Assembly to consider the financial estimates; but he lamented, “You have a Government that feels it can do whatever it likes regarding budget and other matters.”

Asked whether the Opposition would respond to a call by the President for a sitting of the National Assembly to consider budgetary estimates during a six-month prorogation, Greenidge had responded that while he could not speak on behalf of the Opposition, “my advice to them will be to ignore such a call.”

Greenidge stressed too that there was a need for the Government to recognise the Opposition’s majority in the National Assembly, so: “If it (Gov’t) wants a majority of MPs to vote for something, it has to speak to them properly.”

More kudos for Georgetown Public Hospital ...

he was able to move them once more.

He was kept in hospital for a few days, and by the second day he was flexing the leg and in fact, “firing kicks.” Likewise, he was also throwing punches with the left hand which was previously “dead.”

Given a new lease on life, Khan is first of all thankful to God for this miracle he has received, and secondly, joins his family in expressing profound gratitude to the doctors at the Georgetown Public Hospital for their timely and effective intervention.

“And I thank God that the doctors moved promptly and performed the surgery without wasting time, or my condition would have ended up worse,” Winston said.

Meanwhile, his relatives declared, “I would tell anybody, if you’re sick, don’t be hesitant, go to the Georgetown Hospital.

The doctors are efficient and the service is good.” They claimed knowledge of situations where persons took their loved ones to certain private hospitals, paid hefty sums of money and the patients experienced no signs of recovery. In the long run, they ended up taking the patients out of the private hospital and taking them to the GPHC. Surprisingly, after being treated by the public hospital’s doctors, they experienced dramatic recovery, and were able to arise from their hospital beds and lead healthy and normal lives once more.

Opposition missed opportunity to craft a new way for Guyana -Ministers Manickchand, Benn

IN light of the current political situation and moreso the recent rejection by the Leader of the Opposition, David Granger to engage in dialogue with President Donald Ramotar, some members of the Cabinet share the view that it was a wasted opportunity by the Opposition.

These sentiments were expressed by Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand and Minister of Public Works, Robeson Benn as the two appeared on the National Communications Network’s television programme, “Political Scope” last evening to discuss the country’s political situation and the way forward.

Minister Benn noted that with Granger’s rejection of the

call for dialogue by President Ramotar, it would be safe to say that the prorogation failed in terms of the stated objective thus far. “…The rejection itself of the opportunity for dialogue in a time when there should be a dispassionate, non-emotive reflection and review of the country’s situation and of the workings of the National Assembly and the Parliament, indicate clearly that there is no real interest in the work.”

Instead, Minister Benn said it is clearly an Opposition scheme to bring down the PPP/C Government.

Meanwhile Minister Manickchand said she believes that the prorogation of the 10th Parliament exposed the nation to

what each political leader and their parties had to offer.

MISSED OPPORTUNITY Minister Manickchand said in addition to all the legislation and the bills, another huge opportunity that was missed was paving a way for a better Guyana.

“Here is an opportunity where the people of Guyana have configured the Parliament differently, where they said we want this party in Government and that party is the majority, and the people were saying find a way to work, and so we missed a big opportunity of putting the nation and the people of Guyana first.”

She added that many politicians from the combined Opposition let the opportunity pass by having their eyes on one prize.

“The Opposition just have their eyes on [the] presidential seat and power in the Cabinet, and so they missed the opportunity that was presented to them, so that is a big opportunity they missed, of us working together because no country, and certainly our country Guyana can sustain growth and development and betterment for its people by going back to an election.”

She stressed the fact that an election which they have been calling for would not solve problems.

“If we come back next year and we get the same results, but we don’t expect to see the same results because we believe that having met with the people, people are fed up and [are] now wisened up to what the Opposition are and what they want.”

She added that the Cabinet and the Head of State strongly believe that they are going to see different results, “But if that doesn’t happen, suppose we don’t, and we see some kind of configuration, suppose people say we give you a chance and you didn’t work for us, we will give you another chance go back and work together, we cannot come back every year for an election.”

Under this kind of environment, Ministers Manickchand and Benn conceded that Guyana will not be able to sustain the development it has accomplished over the years.

Meanwhile, even with the Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Luncheon’s announcement of the President’s intention to address the way forward on Saturday, both ministers agreed that the decision to preserve the life of the 10th Parliament was the best answer.

Minister Benn noted that this period should have been utilised for dialogue as it was intended.

Minister Manickchand noted that it was evident that the combined Opposition’s intention was to shut the Parliament down by any means necessary. This move, she said, would have by all means removed from the administration, the opportunity to deal with a lot of important things that were current in the National Assembly at the time.

She added that a lot would not have been achieved if the Opposition were to kill this Parliament and remove the opportunity that was before it. “…So he (the President) took the decision to provide the space in the National Assembly for the parliamentary political parties who represent larger Guyana to discuss issues, to dialogue, to do what politicians do best, compromise, to negotiate, find a way to move forward, navigate through this new thing that Guyana has experienced.”

Unfortunately, she added that the Government in office, being a minority in Parliament, it wasn’t going to be something easy.

Further, Minister Benn stated that in his view the 10th Parliament had become virtually a circus and a laughing stock regionally and in other places.

“The fact of the matter is we were not really advancing in the country’s interest, the business of the National Assembly and really working to continue the development of our country so, the prorogation allowed for the opportunity for dialogue.”

On November 10, the Head of State having been threatened with a no-confidence motion by the combined Opposition at the first sitting after the parliamentary recess, issued a proclamation to prorogue the 10th Parliament.

The proclamation is lawful as it is provided for by the constitution [and] was intended to stimulate dialogue on the way forward for Guyana.

The Head of State had written to the leader of the Opposition inviting him for talks; however that invitation has been formally rejected.

As such, the President is now left with two options: he can either dissolve Parliament and call general and regional elections within a 90-day period, or end the prorogation of Parliament.(GINA)

CHILDREN AND CLIMATE CHANGE

20

SUNDAY CHRONICLE December 7, 2014

AS this week’s article is presented to you, I can’t help but feel forlorn with thoughts of the impacts that this phenomenon will have on the younger generation, situations that were not their creation but will be their legacy.

Climate change as we know it is a devastating reality and one that our children will come to know and bear the brunt of its consequences.

“Children are not responsible for climate change. But they may ultimately be the ones suffering the most and in risk of not surviving.”

Ulla Tørnæs, Minister for Development Cooperation, Government of Denmark According to the World Health Organization,children are a vulnerable group and climate change poses one of the biggest health threats to children in the 21st century. No one is immune to the effects of climate change, but one of the largest groups to be affected will be children under the age of five.

By altering weather patterns and disturbing ecosystems, climate change will have significant implications for human health, especially children, since many of the global killers of children are sensitive to climatic changes such as flooding and drought. Currently it is reported that children are dying from a small number of preventable and treatable disease and conditions, including diarrhea, malaria and malnutrition due to climate related changes.

The need for action against climate change has been recognised, and in his State of the Union Address in February, the President of the United States of America, one of the most influential world leaders of our time, urged congress to institute changes to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and encourage renewable energy, saying: “For the sake of our children and our future, we must do more to combat climate change.”

CHILDREN AND CLIMATE ...

From page 20

“The environment is precious, and we should protect it like a mother hen protects its chicks. We should prevent deforestation, find solutions/actions that will prevent air pollution and promote awareness to the people, particularly young people, who are tomorrow’s future.”

— Sarah Baikame, age 17, Cameroon

Changing weather patterns affect agriculture. As the world warms, people could suffer hunger, water shortage and coastal flooding. As the rains fail to come, crops will wither and livestock will die, exposing children to starvation and diminishing water supplies for drinking and hygiene.

Evidence suggests that developing countries like Guyana which are located in warmer Regions and which rely greatly on agriculture will be worst affected by changes in rainfall patterns; this is a fact that we can already attest to, as we are experiencing greater weather extremes and increasing droughts and floods. Changes in precipitation patterns are also likely to affect the quality and quantity of water supplies, thus compounding the impact of poor water and sanitation, as well as malnutrition. Hungry families may not be able to send their children to school or afford health care. Moreover, hunger creates an environment that fosters crime.

The world we are living in is changing. Never before has it been so important to educate the next generation about climate change. Our children have the right to know the impacts these major challenges facing humanity might have on them. But more importantly, they also need to be taught how they and everyone else can become part of the solution by living sustainable lives. We only have one earth, so we need to look after it well. The reality is we can’t just jump into a spaceship and go somewhere else if things don’t work out here – at least not in the near future.

The environment is everybody’s business let us take action to safeguard our children!!

CHRONICLE WEEKEND ROUNDUP with Telesha Ramnarine ***************************************** SATURDAY 6 Opposition ‘stingy’ with words but spend hours ‘cussingout’ - Dr Ramsammy AGAINST the backdrop of a “two-sentence” rejection letter issued to President Donald Ramotar by Opposition Leader, Brigadier (rtd) David Granger, Agriculture Minister, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy, has posited that “the question on the minds of many Guyanese is what makes these politicians so stingy with their words when they spend hours at a time “cussing out” the President, the Ministers and the Government.”

Ramsammy’s remarks came subsequent to a two-sentence statement issued by the Opposition Leader, refusing to engage in any form of dialogue with the President on matters of national interest.

PSC chairman slams Kaieteur News for putting words in his mouth CHAIRMAN of the Private Sector Commission (PSC), Ramesh Persaud, yesterday quoted a Kaieteur News article, headlined ‘Stop attacking citizens who identify corruption,’ as saying “Stop the attacks, character assassination and vilification of citizens who have identified corruption as a serious problem that needs urgent and radical state intervention to stem its disastrous consequences for economic development.”

However, Persaud took the popular social media site, Facebook, to make it clear that he never said those words to the embattled daily’s reporter.

In actuality, the comments attributed to him were actually part of a call from Transparency Institute Guyana Inc. (TIGI), following the release of the 2014 Corruption Perception Index (CPI) report from Transparency International (TI).

Annai Secondary wins 2014 CC-LCDS Secondary Schools Quiz ANNAI Secondary School from Region 9 (Upper Takatu/ Upper Essequibo) emerged champions of the 2014 Climate Change-LCDS Secondary Schools Quiz which was broadcast on the National Communications Network (NCN) over the past three weeks. The Quiz was organised by the Office for Climate Change, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and NCN. It featured 16 secondary schools drawn from all 10 regions of Guyana with veteran broadcaster and Quizmaster, Dr. Rovin Deodat moderating. Covent Garden Secondary School on the East Bank Demerara and Annai Secondary School contested the final.

About 100 individuals up for GPF promotions ASSISTANT Commissioners, senior superintendents, superintendents, deputy superintendents, assistant superintendents, cadet officers and inspectors are all in the lineup of police ranks being considered for promotion by the Police Service Commission (PSC). The list was submitted to the PSC by the Guyana Police Force (GPF), but was returned to the GPF for some additional details as requested by the PSC, and has not yet been returned to the PSC, although that is expected to be done shortly. Commissioner Persaud said the

list submitted would address the present vacancies within the Guyana Police Force.

Food vendor shot during robbery attempt A FOOD vendor was shot, injured and hospitalised when he was confronted by a lone gunman at Ketley Street, Charlestown.

The police reported that Vincent Ramkissoon, 48, of Canal No. 1, West Bank Demerara, was attacked by a man armed with a firearm in an apparent robbery attempt at Ketley Street, Charlestown. Ramkissoon was shot to his left foot by the perpetrator who escaped after residents came out and accosted him. He was admitted to a hospital.

Stray Catchers very active in police ‘A,’‘B,’‘C,’ and ‘D’ Divisions THE Home Affairs Ministry (MoHA) reported that a total of 198 animals had been impounded in ‘A,’ ‘B,’ ‘C’ and ‘D’ Police Divisions during the month of November 2014. The Georgetown Unit accounted for 38 animals, comprising 16 cows and 22 goats. The Berbice Unit accounted for 161 animals, comprising 31 horses, 95 cows, 11 goats, and 24 sheep. A total of nine animals were impounded in ‘A’ Division, 161 in ‘B’ Division, 10 in ‘C’ Division, and 23 in ‘D’ Division. Training sessions were held for stray catchers in order to address the following issues: Conduct and Appearance on Duty, the Pounds Act, the Cattle Stealing Act, and the Roads Act. The MoHA has also advised cattle owners to ensure that their animals are branded, so as to facilitate their redemption after they had been impounded.

Hikers keep clean slate in Men’ s division of DMWI Hockey Festival

By LeeronBrumell THE Hikers maintained a clean slate yesterday, when this publication went to print. Their Men’s is seeking to add a fifth Diamond Mineral Water International Indoor Hockey Festival title to their collection.

Game five yesterday pitted Hikers against Renegades.

Jamarj Assanah put the first goal on the board three minutes in. On 10 minutes Devin Munroe added a 2nd. Two minutes after that he’d put another one in goal with Randy Hope giving them a fournil advantage at the half way stage.

One minute after the resumption Assanah would score again; reverse shot on goal from just inside the arc, but it would be protested.

Renegades felt he was outside the circle.

The umpires however held firm. On 22 minutes Assanah would strike back as if launching his own protest; 6-Nil and the game became an academic one from there.

Shane Samuels and

Hiker’s Travon Younge shoots on goal while the Renegades Goal Keeper is caught out his post.

IOC hopes sweeping Olympic changes to mark Games revival

By Karolos Grohmann MONACO,(Reuters) When the International Olympic Committee members vote on 40 recommendations next week to change the way the Games are awarded and run they will be saying ‘yes’ to the biggest single overhaul of the Olympics in decades.

The idea behind the recommendations IOC President Thomas Bach has been frantically pushing since taking over in September 2013 is to breath new life into the world’s biggest multi-sports event that has lost some of its lustre in recent years.

The fact that only two cities are left in the race for the 2022 winter Olympics, with four pulling out over financial concerns or a lack of public support, is clear

proof of a need to rethink the concept of the Olympics.

Rising costs that peaked at a staggering $51 billion for this year’s Sochi Winter Olympics in Russia have made it difficult for cities to see the potential advantages of hosting the Games.

A complex system that manages the Games sports programme and allows new sports to eventually be present at the Olympics has also proved obsolete, according to Bach.

So the IOC’s 100-plus members at the session in Monaco on Monday are expected to endorse his “Agenda 2020” with changes to the bidding process, the sports programme, the creation of an Olympic broadcaster and making the Games cheaper among others.

The IOC wants to attract more cities to bidding, and is eager to make the process easier, more flexible and more in line with the cities’ own plans for the future.

Bach said it should be “more like an invitation” and not a dry tender application where the IOC orders cities to meet their criteria.

Currently bid cities spend as much as $100 million for a two-year campaign.

“We want to show with this procedure that the IOC is opening up, that we are opening a window and we want to have fresh wind coming in,” Bach said recently.

Sports can now hope for a quicker inclusion in the Games as the IOC is keen to maximise their impact in specific territories with baseball and softball seen as likely additions to the

Tokyo 2020 Games, with both sports hugely popular in Japan.

Currently sports need to wait seven years from being admitted to actually making their debut at the Games.

In one of the biggest IOC U-turns in years, Games organisers will be allowed to hold some events in other cities or even countries for reasons of sustainability and geography, an issue that was long an IOC taboo for fear of watering down the impact of the Olympics if there were multiple hosts.

The IOC will also vote on the creation of an Olympic broadcast channel that will also benefit by the moving of the Youth Olympics (summer and winter) to a non-Olympic year from 2023.

and Daniel Hooper 39th were the other goal scorers.

Onassis Frazer in the 26 th from a penalty cornerhad the lone item for Renegades and Old Fort claimed a 2nd win in three matches with a 7-5 victory over Saints.

In the first ladies game on the day – Hikers took on GCC Spice in a fast paced encounter.

Hikers looked a different team from Thursday night when they were beaten by GCC Tigers. Their win on Friday night seemed to have bolstered their confidence and they attacked and defended. Spice’s performance could not be discounted.

They too applied pressure and it paid off in the 18th minute, when Aliyah Gordon fed Tricia Fiedtkou a pass close to goal mouth and with the Hikers keeper at full stretch, Fiedtkou on the move tapped it in – 1-Nil at the half.

On the resumption,

both teams continued their search for goals, Spice though would get the break when Gordon offered a nolook flick to send the ball into goal in the 32nd minute.

Another hustle play in the closing minute, Gordon took the ball from midfield and with four Hikers chasing her, she flicked it high into the net 3-Nil to finish the contest. Gordon now has ten goals in the tournament – 7 in Game one against Old Fort.

In a Veterans clash, OldOld Fort came out 5-3 victors over the Carib Hockey Club of Trinidad and Tobago.

Dexter Wyles, visiting Trinidad and Tobago National coach Anthony Marcano, John Abrahama double, and Dwayne Alleyne scored for Old-Old Fort.

Kern Ramsammy, Marlon Bowen and Raphel Ramsammy found the box for Carib.

Australia face biggest mental battle in first Test - Ponting

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - An Australia team still mourning the tragic death of Phillip Hughes face the biggest mental battle of their careers in playing the first Test against India this week, according to former captain Ricky Ponting.

Australia host the first match of the four-test series in Adelaide from Tuesday, less than a week after batsman Hughes’s funeral, and Ponting said the collective loss of their team mate would far outweigh any personal tragedies players had previously brought into a game.

“None of the things that have happened before compare to what the players are dealing with after Phillip’s death,” Ponting wrote in a column in The Australian newspaper.

“We are in uncharted waters and the boys are going to have to dig deeper than they ever have.

“This will be the biggest mental battle any of them will have encountered, but I have faith they can pull it off.

“In a perfect world I want to see the team come together and go out there as one, but I understand that some might find it impossible. For cricket’s sake, I hope that they can all do it.”

Ponting, who retired in 2012 after 168 Tests, spoke of playing with a heavy heart after deaths in his own family and said cricket at the highest level was “a job that has to be done no matter what’s going on in your life”.

“Like everyone in the comm unity, cricketers have to show up at work and suck it up when things are rough,” he added.

“Your wife or kids can be sick, there might be trouble at home, but too often this can happen when you are on the road and there’s not even the chance to drop in at the end of the day and sort out the mess.”Hughes died from a severe head injury after being struck by a short-pitched ball, prompting debate about whether “bouncers” should be banned or further limited.

Singh hits maiden ton...

From Back Page other pair of boundaries off Hosein, while Guyana Jaguars overhauled the home team’s total with ease.

At tea, the visitors were 218 for 4 off 73 overs, with Singh on 68 and Reifer, who also got boundaries off Khan and Hosein, on 27, the pair adding 72 for their unbroken fifth wicket partnership up to the interval, which they increased after the break, when Reifer got back to back fours off Yannich Cariah.

Singh also surpassed the 73 he made against Jamaica earlier this year

during play in the final session which was curtailed for a brief period by a light shower, even as the Jaguars increased their lead to 45, when Reifer hit Cariah for his fifth four, pushing the score to 243 and their partnership to 98.

Another four from Singh, his 11th , this time to third man off Marlon Richards realised the 100 partnership between himself and Reifer, who got his seventh first class 50 shortly after with a four off Khan to long off, batting for 146 minutes and hitting six fours from the 132

balls he faced.

Singh celebrated joining Deonarine as one of the centurions in this tournament, with a sweetly timed drive past Lendl Simmons at extra cover off Daniel St Clair who produced a stunner to clip the off-stump of Reifer for 58, ending his 146 runs partnership with Singh just before the close of play At the close of play, the Jaguars lead was increased to 102 as they scored 273 runs off 90 overs bowled by the Red Force, for the loss of four wickets during the day’s play, consolidating

Atkinson makes history ...

From Back Page The 25-year-old stunned defending champion and World record holder, Ruta Meilutyte, touching the wall first in a time of one minute, 2.36 seconds ahead of the fastfinishing Lithuanian.

Meilutyte was timed at 1:02.46, missing out on becoming the first woman to successfully defend the 100m breaststroke title.

Moniek Nijhuis of the Netherlands clocked 1:04.03 to take bronze.

Atkinson’s time also shattered the championship record of 1:02.43 set by Meilutyte during Friday’s semifinals.

“I couldn’t believe it!

It came down to the same thing as the 50 and on the 50 I got out-touched so in

my mind I went straight back to that,” said Atkinson, who celebrates her 26th birthday next Thursday.

“I just thought ‘oh okay’ and looked up at the board and it didn’t really click yet and then it really started to click. It took a while!”

Meilutyte looked the favourite to successfully defend her title when she took an early lead with

Atkinson in strong pursuit, and was ahead at the halfway point.

H o w e v e r, A t k i n s o n closed quickly off the final turn and just got up in time to beat Meilutyte, to create the upset.

Atkinson is a three-time Olympian and was good enough to finish fourth in the 100m breaststroke at London 2012 in a time of 1:06.93

GUYANA’S top side Altown Football Association The Guyana Police Force pha United hammered (GFA) Banks Beer Cup 17 (GPF) also chalked up their Black Water; literally, – 0 at the Guyana Defence first win of the tournament winning their opening

with their 3 – 1 victory over Northern Rangers in night’s other matchup.

Jacobs, a member of the Golden Jaguars, scored his goals in the 6th, 28th, 56th, 58th, 60th and 83rd minutes while Daniel Wilson (18’, 22’ 36’ and 70’) and Jaheel Greaves (44’, 55’, 64’, and 82’) each had helmet-tricks for Alpha United.

Alpha United’s other goals came off the booth of Wayne Ellis (13’), Jacob Stephenson (75’) and Jamel Codrington (90’).

In the night’s second game of a planned double header, Rawle Haynes dou-

ble and Andy Gillis’ lone strike was enough for the lawmen to arrest Northern Rangers.

Haynes’ goals came early; netting them backto-back in the 2 nd and 6 th minutes respectively but Shawn McCalman scored i n t h e 3 5 th m i n u t e f o r Northern Rangers who tried as much as possible to keep up with the evidently fit GPF team.

Rangers came close several times in the final stanza to equalising the scores, but the Police’s stubborn defence stood firm. Gillis then sealed the win for the

Police men with his goal in the 86th minute.

The tournament will continue tonight at the Tucville Ground with another double header from 19:00 hrs.

Fruta Conquerors are set to come against Georgetown Football Club (GFC) in the second game while Western Tigers and Houston Stars will collide in the opener.

City close gap as Chelsea suffer first defeat

By Martyn Herman LONDON, (Reuters) Chelsea’s unbeaten start to the season ended with a dra-

Champions Manchester City took full advantage of Chelsea’s surprise reverse to cut the gap at the top to three points as Yaya Toure’s penalty earned a 1-0 home victory over Everton.

Arsenal’s hopes of a third successive win were dashed by a 3-2 defeat at Stoke City, where they trailed 3-0 at halftime. Liverpool were held to a 0-0 home draw by Sunderland, one of three goalless stalemates on Saturday.

Undefeated in 23 matches in all competitions since April’s Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid, Chelsea proved far from invincible as 10man Newcastle survived a late barrage to prevent the Londoners creating a club record unbeaten run.

Few could deny Newcastle a deserved win that lifted them to seventh in the table although visiting manager Jose Mourinho said his side were unfortunate.

The hosts lost goalkeeper Rob Elliot to injury at halftime, replaced by young rookie debutant Jak Alnwick, and had to man the barricades with only 10 men when Steven Taylor was dismissed after getting a second yellow card nine minutes from the end.

Substitute Cisse, who replaced Remy Cabella after the break, put Newcastle in front after 57 minutes following a slip by Gary Cahill and struck again on the break 21 minutes later,

Arsenal’s Santi Cazorla (L) scores from the penalty spot past Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic (unseen) during their English Premier League soccer match in Stoke, northern England, yesterday. Credit: REUTERS/Eddie Keogh seconds after Eden Hazard was denied an equaliser by the woodwork.

Didier Drogba’s majestic header halved the deficit late on but Newcastle survived six minutes of stoppage time and Chelsea’s 14-match unbeaten start to the league season, which had drawn comparisons with the Arsenal ‘Invincibles’ of 2003-04, was over.

“We were unlucky,” said Mourinho who criticised Newcastle’s fans and ball boys for wasting time by not returning the ball when it went out of play.

“The best team lost, the team that tried to win lost, but that’s football,” he told a news conference.

“What’s important is that it’s the kind of defeat which is easy to accept. I don’t like to lose when the referee isn’t good...which wasn’t the case today.”

THREE POINTS Chelsea now have 36 points from 15 matches, with Manchester City on 33. Southampton have 26 and play their game in hand against fourthplaced Manchester United (25) on Monday.

West Ham United (24) can climb from fifth to third if they beat Swansea City at Upton Park on Sunday.

Manchester City lost 14goal leading marksman Sergio Aguero because of a left knee injury inside the first five minutes at the Etihad but still had too much for Everton who only came to life late on.

The winning goal was slightly fortuitous as Phil Jagielka’s 24th-minute challenge on James Milner was deemed illegal by the referee despite no protests from the City midfielder.

Toure calmly stroked

the penalty past keeper Tim Howard and that proved enough to secure three points for the home side who face a vital Champions League clash at AS Roma in midweek.

“It would have been very easy to slip up after seeing the (Chelsea) result and not do our job,” said Milner.

“We’ve played a lot better lately but we need to win these kind of games if we are going to win the title.”

Arsenal fell behind to a Peter Crouch goal after 19 seconds at Stoke before Bojan and Jon Walters made it 3-0 by halftime.

Santi Cazorla’s penalty and a goal from Aaron Ramsey gave Arsenal hope after the break but the damage was already done for the visitors who had Calum Chambers sent off with 12 minutes to go.

“Once we were 3-0 down we had a mountain to climb.

We did climb and we were a bit unlucky,” manager Arsene Wenger said.

Skipper Steven Gerrard was left on the bench by manager Brendan Rodgers as Liverpool laboured to a 0-0 draw at Anfield against Sunderland.

He joined the fray after 67 minutes but could not stir the attack into life as Liverpool remained in mid-table.

Queens Park Rangers beat Burnley 2-0 to climb out of the relegation zone.

Tottenham Hotspur drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace, as did Hull City with fellow strugglers West Bromwich Albion.

MEMBERS of the Organising Committee within the Kennard’s Memorial Turf Club (KMTC), have confirmed and released a seven-race programme for the Club’s traditional Boxing Day horse race meeting set for December 26th at their Bush Lot, Corentyne track.

Horses classified A3 and Lower will do battle in the feature event or the seventh and final race on the day’s programme, covering a distance of seven furlongs for a first place prize of G$1M, with the second to fourth place finishers pocketing $500,000, $250,000 and $125,000 respectively, while paying an entrance fee of $37,000.

Other events billed for the day are the D3 and Lower with a winning purse of $500,000, the G3 and Lower which has at stake $300,000 for the winner, with both races going a distance of five furlongs, the same distance horses classified J3 and Lower will cover for a top prize of $200,000.

The owner of the winning horse for the I1 and Lower, J1 and Lower and G1 and Lower races, will collect $250,000, $200,000, and $320,000 respectively and registration for this event closes on December 20, with no late entries being accepted.

Horses can be entered through Roopnarine Matadial on 325-3192; Ivan Dipnarine on 331-0316; Cecil Kennard on 623-7609, 225-4818 or 226-1399; Dennis Deroop on 325-3301 or 609-9143; and Fazil Habibullah on 657-7010.

Horse owners are reminded that all races on the day’s programme will be contested under the rules and regulations of the Guyana Horse Racing Authority and in the event there are less than five horses entered for any event, the Club reserves the right to cancel the event or reduce the prize money, only after consulting the horse owners.

Horse owners are also reminded that five horses must start a race before a third place prize is paid, with an additional two horses starting any event if a fourth place prize is paid, while a fee of $5,000 must be paid at the time of entry if any horse’ name is to appear on the official programme.

goal and an Aderemi Simon penalty corner goal, while his team was down a man due to a yellow card, separated the teams at the half. GCC came out pressing hard in the second period and it only took two minutes for Orland Semple to complete a fine string of passing by the Bourda side with a goal to pull them back within one.

GCC produced several opportunities that were thwarted by brilliant goalkeeping from national player Tony Cole in goal for Old Fort.

Old Fort, however, in absorbing the GCC onslaught, executed a brilliant counterattacking play that saw Captain Chris Low, high in the left corner, hammer home a first time shot with surgical precision.

Old Fort would move further ahead through Jason Dosantos but despite the now 4 - 1 score line, GCC seemed to be determined to close the gap.

A plethora of goals would fill the final 6 minutes of play

as GCC’s Alan Fernandes scored a penalty corner and Aderemi Simon replied for Old Fort. Stephen Xavier scored for GCC in the 35th minute and John Abrams replied.

In the penultimate minute a skilful spin and fire from Old Fort’s Stephon King sealed the deal and GCC’s penalty corner goal by Xavier in the final minute would be far too little to catch Old Fort leaving them the 7-4 victors.

The highly anticipated clash between the Pepsi Hikers and u19 men’s sides produced a result of experience over exuberance.

With both teams beginning patiently like two prize fighters assessing each other in the opening rounds, it would take until two minutes into the second half before Captain Robert France could put the national champions, the Hikers, on the score sheet. As the match wore on, however, the under-19s seemed to wear down and the superior quality of the Hikers was evident as they smashed home four more goals to secure a 5-0 win.

The Renegades and Saints squared off in the final match of the men’s division with each team trying to secure their first points. The Renegades managed to achieve their first success of the competition with a 4-2 victory in the end.

Young Dylan Francis of Trinidad was the high scorer of the match with a double to close out Saints.

Notable Dates

ANDREW `Six Head’ Lewis became the World Boxing Association (WBA) North American welterweight champion on December 5, 1998.

It was the first time that the quick-fisted `Albouystown Cyclone’ had been taken the full 12 rounds. He defeated Jamaica born Teddy `Two Gun’ Reid by a unanimous decision to gain recognition in the USA. Lewis, who will turn 44 next Sunday, went 12 rounds on three other occasions.

He would be taken the full distance by Larry `Laser’ Marks in his first defence of the WBA world title in April 2001, and in April 2007 when he won a unanimous decision against `Deadly’ Denny Dalton to claim the local junior middleweight title.

Lewis’ last 12 round journey occurred in October 2008 when he lost a split decision to Howard Eastman at the National Stadium.

Dillon Carew, who along with Andrew Lewis represented Guyana at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, had his first of two meeting with DeMarcus `Chop Chop’ Corley on December 5, 1998. That fight was held in Atlantic City, New Jersey and ended in a technical draw in round three. The second meeting between the two occurred in April 2001.

The American won by a unanimous decision after 10 rounds. One fight and two months later, Corley won the vacant World Boxing Organization junior welterweight title.

The GCC Tigers managed to record their second convincing win of the competition, this time over Spice by 5-0.

Sisters Kerensa Fernandes, with the opening double, and Sonia Jardine a hat-trick, were too much for the Spice defence to handle. Despite their lack of goals, Spice put in a creditable performance with young striker Aliyah Gordon proving to be a handful for the Tigers defence.

The Hikers ladies secured their first win of the competition at the expense of the Old Fort Shooting Stars with a 5-1 victory.

Former national Amanda Garnett led the scores with a hatrick while teammates Makeda Harding and Tekeisha Deleon chipped in with one a piece. Old Fort’s Carol Caine managed to salvage a lone goal for the Stars in the dying minutes.

The veterans division saw two exciting and competitive matches for the evening. The Carib hockey club of Trinidad surprised the defending champions, Hickers, with an opening goal in just the third minute of play but the Hickers soon corrected the score in their favour going into the half with a 2-1 lead.

Scores were drawn at 3-3 until the final seconds when Jerazano Bell let fly a ferocious penalty corner shot high into the Carib net for the win.

GCC seemed once again the victim of complacency as their 3-1 lead by half time would be squandered by some sloppy defence in the closing minutes. With the teams tied at 3-3, Old Fort’s Ivor Thompson found himself unmarked in the GCC circle for the easy put away and 4-3 victory.

RESULTS Men Renegades defeated Saints by 4 – 2 Goals: Renegades – Dane Ramsammy, Jael St Louis, Dylan Francis. Saints – Joel Hunte, Yonnick Peters.

Old Fort defeated GCC by 7 -4 Goals: Old Fort – Chris Low-Koan 2, Aderemi Simon 2, Jason Dosantos, Shaquille Thomas, Stephon King. GCC – Orland Semple, Alan Fernandes, Stephen Xavier 2.

Hikers defeated Under-19 by 5 – 0 Goals: Hikers – Robert France 3, Devin Munroe, Andrew Stewart.

Ladies GCC Tigers defeated Spice by 5 – 0 Goals: Kerensa Fernandes 2, Sonia Jardine 3 Hikers defeated Old Fort Shooting Stars by 5 – 1 Goals: Amanda Garnet 3, Tekeisha Deleon, Makeda Harding. Old Fort – Carol Caine Veterans Hickers defeated Carib by 4–3 Goals: Hickers – Jerazeno Bell 3, George Melville. Carib – Samuel Carty, Kevin Adams, Andre Durant Old Old Fort defeated GCC by 4 – 3 Goals: Old Old Fort – John Abrams 2, Anthony Marcano, Ivor Thompson ­­­

Matches continue today with the finals set to begin at 16:00hrs.

JUNIOR lightweight Gairy `Superman’ St. Clair won a unanimous decision over Philippine Roberto Oyan in a six round fight, held on December 7, 2007.

The contest was held at the Wyong RSL Club in New South Wales.

The fight came just after St Clair lost an IBF super featherweight title eliminator to Cassius Baloyi. He had earlier in his career defeated Baloyi to become the first Guyanese to hold two world titles. `Superman’ as St. Clair is called, travelled to South Africa in 2006 where on July 29 he defeated Baloyi via a unanimous decision.

In doing so, St. Clair won both the International Boxing Federation and International Boxing Organization super featherweight titles.

However, he was unable to hold on to the crowns for long as he lost to Malcolm Klassen in his first defence.

SUNDAY CHRONICLE December 7, 2014

Windies will come out Hard day for Leewards, swinging, warns Williams Jamaica in charge JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, (CMC) – With pundits already writing off West Indies’ chances against World number one South Africa, assistant coach Stuart Williams has warned the Caribbean side will not simply roll over and play dead.

West Indies languish at number eight in the Test team rankings and have been given virtually no chance of winning the threeTest series which bowls off December 17th in Centurion.

But Williams said the Windies had already acknowledged the tough nature of their assignment and were ready to make their mark on the series.

“We have come here to compete. Obviously we have our hands full. It is a tough task playing against South Africa at home,” Williams told reporters here.

“They are the number one team but we’re not going to come here and lay down. We are coming to play some positive cricket and we want to win.”

To beat the Proteas, West Indies will also have to defy the weight of history.

Not since the one-off Test in the Caribbean have they defeated South Africa in a series. Further, they have won just one of 12 Tests on South African soil, losing ten and drawing one.

West Indies assistant coach Stuart Williams.

However, Williams said there was a strong determination among the group to do well, and said the presence of experienced former players like Sir Richie Richardson and Sir Curtly Ambrose on the management team, would play a key role on the tour.

“Having Ambi and Richie here … helps the guys with their self-belief, commitment and discipline and that sort of stuff,” said Williams. “Our management team and everyone are working together to make this tour a successful tour.”

West Indies have already been setback by the withdrawal of superstar opener Chris Gayle, who is one of two players in the squad with over 100 Tests, and Darren Bravo, who has emerged as one of the mainstays of the batting in recent years.

They have been replaced

by Devon Smith who averages an unflattering 24 from 33 Tests and Assad Fudadin, who played the last of this three Tests nearly 2-1/2 years ago.

Williams, however, remained positive West Indies could overcome these challenges.

“When you have a young team missing Chris Gayle and Bravo it is always going to be a difficult task but it is an opportunity for the younger guys to put up their hands and perform,” Williams contended.

“It is fortunate for us that we are coming out of the first class cricket [in the Caribbean]. Kraigg Brathwaite he got a hundred, Devon Smith he got a hundred under his belt … (Jermaine) Blackwood, (Leon) Johnson, these guys are young and upcoming batsmen [and will be looking to do well], and what better place to come and play than South Africa.”

He added: “All in all, things are looking up. We just want to ease into the tour, ease into the first three-day game and into the Test.”

National 7’s team seeks recognition

By Rawle Toney

“DON’T worry when you are not recognised, but strive to be worthy of recognition”, the words of Abraham Lincoln.

Lincoln might know a thing or two about being recognised; after all he’s probably one of America’s most famous Presidents who presided over the country during its bloodiest period in history (Civil War) and its greatest moral, constitutional and political crisis.

But how germane is Lincoln’s words to that of the accomplishment of Guyana’s National 7’s Rugby team and the Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU)?

Dubbed the “common sense Guy”, Bud Bilanich said “If you develop and nurture your unique personal brand, present yourself well and use the basic rules of etiquette consistently, you will become recognised as a person with positive personal impact. There are two keys here. First, work constantly and continually at creating positive personal impact. Second, realise that this won’t come overnight. You have to work at it” Over the past decade, Guyana won seven North American and Caribbean Rugby Association (NACRA) 7’s Championships.

From 2006 to 2011, the men known as a ‘Green Machine’ ran riot on the rest of the NACRA nations, winning six championships but lost to Mexico in the finals of the 2012 Championship.

The GRFU could not have gather the money needed to send the team to the competition in 2013, so the region and NACRA’s most successful country was a no-show at the championships.

However, this year with the support from the Government of Guyana, the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) and other members from both the private and public sector, the GRFU sent what they are calling the country’s best assembled 7’s team to the championship where they played undefeated and had a come from behind 33 – 28 victory against Mexico in the finals.

“I don’t know what more we need to do in terms of showing that we are the team to be recognised and given the rewards we deserve. Winning the 15’s and 7’s in the same calendar year is no small feat and if this was any other country, the Government and other bodies would’ve been there

and be hyped about it,” explained Coach Theodore Henry in an interview with Chronicle Sport upon the team’s return to Guyana on Friday last.

“The GOA came on board and it’s obvious they recognise the ability of the rugby team. The Government came on board through the Minister of Finance and he actually said that he recognise the achievement of the Rugby fra-

CAC Games are among the long list of accomplishments, of which Henry feels that if rugby in Guyana doesn’t get the respect and recognition it deserves from all, then it will definitely be lost.

Meanwhile, asked of the seven titles won at the NACRA 7’s tournament, which was the most memorable, Henry said “this one was special and the second time qualifying for the

lucky #7! Guyana’s Sevens Rugby Team ternity but the fact remains that you need to get certain things in place.

If we’re going to bring in the youngsters and phase out the older guys, we need to put things in place for the younger players the things that are required to reach the heights that we have,” the outspoken rugby coach and player pointed out.

Henry is known for his exploits in Rugby and has played a part in every historic moment. He was also a member of the now defunct West Indies Rugby team along with the likes of Claudius Butts and Kevin McKenzie, all of whom are also prominent players for Guyana.

A showing at the Commonwealth Games (India) and the Pan American Games, the IRB World Series and also winning Guyana’s first and only team gold medal at the

Pan American Games and putting us back on the world stage where I think we belong and like I told the guys before the tournament started; 2010 was like a learning curve for us because we won six years in a row and I thought the guys got a bit complacent in thinking that we can just turn up and the tournament will just be given to us, we learnt a hard lesson then; missing the CAC and Commonwealth Games it was daunting for the guys, so they wanted to make a statement in the tournament”.

He added, “The first is always the best championship but this one is special because we did something special this year. In the 15’s, we came from behind and defeated the USA at home, then we came from behind in Mexico and that was special.”

The Surinamese are here

... Record number of athletes for today’s Flex Night Int’l

By Leeron Brumell THE numbers have grown for this evening’s staging of Flex Night International at the National Cultural Centre.

Earlier in the week, 49 athletes were registered, but tonight there will be more than 50 male and female athletes on stage.

One of the Directors of the Show Donald Sinclair told Chronicle Sport that Buddy’s Gym has increased the number of athletes it will be sending.

‘I think we have about 52 athletes, which makes it the largest Flex Night ever and possibly the biggest bodybuilding show ever on a bodybuilding stage.’

Buddy’s had originally entered two athletes. It has now added three more to

the list.

Sinclair was speaking during a visit to the Gym as part of his promotion of the show.

He’d taken the first half of the Suriname delegation to a number of local gyms to meet and interact with local bodybuilders and gym members.

The first part of the visitor’s delegation included Bikini and Best Legs athletes Suelle Shepperd and Militia Galimo along with their coach Eddy Wilson.

The final contingent of eight members arrived yesterday, with the final three athletes for Team Suriname.

Friday’s visit to four gyms by the athletes was also aimed at promoting friendly competition among athletes between Guyana and Suriname. At the Fitness Paradise Gym – Shepperd and Galimo went through

TEAM SURINAME: Part of Suriname’s contingent from right – Coach Eddy Wilson and athletes Suelle Shepperd and Militia Galimo. Second left is Flex Night Director Donald Sinclair.

The athletes are competing for trophies and cash prizes, but a number of sponsors have also made available hampers.

‘We’re all ready. Flex Night is going to be a grand experience for the athletes, for the members of the audience and it’s a lot of camaraderie,’ noted Sinclair.

The season ending show starts at 18:00hrs. The weigh-in for athletes is 15:00hrs.

Singh hits maiden ton, 50’s for Reifer and Chandrika

By Calvin Roberts

(In Trinidad in association with GT&T, Wartsilla and Lifetime Real Estate) S K I P P E R Vi s h a u l ‘Cheesy’ Singh got his maiden first class ton and Raymon Reifer and Rajendra Chandrika struck half centuries yesterday, as the Guyana Jaguars consolidated their first day position over host Trinidad and Tobago Red Force in their fourth round West Indies Cricket Board/Professional Cricket League four-day encounter at the Queen’s Park Oval.

At the end of the second day’s play, the Jaguars, who

resumed the day on 27 for 1 in reply to the 198 made by the Red Force, were 300 for 5 off 101 overs with Singh who got his maiden first class ton from 161 balls, 216 minutes with 13 fours just before the close of play on 115 (239mins, 175balls, 15x4).

Reifer also contributed 58 (167balls, 7x4) while Chandrika had earlier made 60, as Akeil Hosein took 2 for 52 for the Red Force who used all their players with the exception of wicketkeeper Nicholas Pooran and Evin Lewis, in their bid to separate Singh and Reifer.

Scores to date: T&T Red Force 198, Guyana Jaguars

300 for 5.

The Jaguars resumed yesterday’s play with Chandrika on 15 and Shimron Hetmyer 4 and saw the second wicket pair adding 57 more runs to the total, before Hetmyer looked to cut at a delivery from Imran Khan whom he had earlier hit for six, and was bowled for 31 at 84 for 2.

Chandrika, who hit Khan back over his head for six, posted his third half century at this level from 143 minutes of batting, during which time he faced 102 balls hitting six fours and one six, before he was caught by Yannick Ottley at forward short-leg off Hosein 10 runs later off the final delivery before lunch.

Overall he batted for 167 minutes, struck eight fours and one six from the 117 balls he faced while Guyana took the luncheon interval on 115 for 3 off 40 overs, with Narsingh Deonarine on 13.

Singh, who replaced Chandrika, cut Jason Mohammed through point for four but lost Deonarine who was caught by Ottley at forward short-leg off Hosein for 21 at 146 for 4, with Singh who was on 23 at Deonarine’s demise be-
