President Ramotar lauds remarkable contribution Cuba is making to development in Caribbean

PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar yesterday expressed his sincere appreciation to Cuban President Raul Castro Ruz for the remarkable contribution which Cuba has been making to the development of the Region.

In his intervention at the fifth Summit between CARICOM and Cuba in Havana, President Ramotar recognised the important role which Cuba has played in the development of human capital, particularly in medicine, engineering and other fields critical to the social and economic progress of the peoples of the Caribbean Community and the Caribbean Region as a whole. In this regard, referring to the announcement made by Cuba that the Government will increase the numbers of scholarships for graduate and postgraduate studies, President Ramotar thanked President Castro for this continued assistance.

President Ramotar said that the strong foundation of cooperation had indeed justified the decision taken forty two years ago to establish relations with Cuba – a decision which was the culmination of other related actions, in particular the role of the people of British Guiana as it was then, in breaking the blockade to trade with Cuba. In this regard, President Ramotar recalled the constant advocacy of former President Cheddi Jagan during those times to engage with Cuba and to contribute to the building of the foundation of the relationship with the Caribbean and Cuba.

President Ramotar further paid tribute to the brave and valuable role which Cuba played in the liberation struggle of the African countries.

Touching on future areas of cooperation, President Ramotar said that the existing relationship allows the countries of CARICOM and Cuba to build more regional research centres

that would allow them to make independent discoveries in science and technology.

While much work has been done in the social field, another area of collaboration was that of agriculture. Referring to the food import bill of the countries of the Caribbean Community being approximately four billion dollars, if Cuba was added,

that would increase to more than five billion dollars, it was necessary to pursue together, building on the Jagdeo Initiative for agriculture and using the National Institutes in the Member States and that of Cuba, means to become more independent in terms of food security.

Energy cooperation was also another area proposed

by President Ramotar in which CARICOM and Cuba could cooperate towards affordable energy for development.

President Ramotar assured President Castro that Guyana was happy to cooperate with Cuba and the rest of the Member States of the Caribbean Community in the setting up in Guyana of the Regional Centre for the Treatment of Physical Disabilities.

Acknowledging the importance to enhance the trading relations among the countries of CARICOM and Cuba, President Ramotar committed to working with the rest of CARICOM and Cuba for the signing and early implementation of the Second Additional Protocol to the Agreement for Trade and Economic Cooperation.

Noting that the sugar industry plays a central role in the history of the countries of the Caribbean and recalling Cuba’s offer to assist the countries of CARICOM in this sector, President Ramotar recognised the vast experience of Cuba in the development of its sugar industry and its successful innovations; in this regard he offered Guyana’s willingness to benefit from Cuba’s expertise in the development of Guyana’s sugar industry.

Summit a testimony to solidarity, fraternal relationship – CARICOM Secretary-General THEe Fifth CARICOM-Cuba Summit is testimony to the solidarity and fraternal relationship that exists among Caribbean people, CARICOM Secretary-General, Ambassador Irwin LaRocque said yesterday.

Addressing the Summit in Havana, Cuba, the Secretary-General retraced the history of the relationship between CARICOM Member States and Cuba, and outlined the myriad ways in which they had cooperated.

“Cuba has demonstrat-

ed its commitment to the sustainable development of our Region by providing generous assistance in areas such as health, education, agriculture and sports. This has been a significant boost to the Caribbean Community, in particular to our efforts at strengthening our human resource capacity.

“More recently, Cuba came forward to assist CARICOM countries to prepare, in the event that Ebola comes into the Region.

This is in keeping with Cuba’s leadership role in the global fight against the deadly disease, which has seen more than 250 medical personnel from this country in the vanguard of the battle in West Africa. This is no surprise to us who have experienced Cuba’s humanity, such as with Operation

Cuba pledges to maintain support for CARICOM CUBAN President Army General, Raul Castro Ruz told Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Leaders that despite his country’s economic difficulties, “We will honour our pledge to co-operate and share our modest achievements with our sister nations in the Caribbean.”

President Castro was speaking yesterday, Monday at the opening ceremony of the Fifth CARICOM Cuba Summit being held in Havana, Cuba. He said that as small island states and developing nations, the countries were facing the challenge of surviving and making progress in a world shaken by a number of crises. The President cited the global economic, financial, food and energy sectors, as well as deadly diseases and war.

He reiterated Cuba’s “unwavering decision” to support “under any circumstances” the right of small and vulnerable countries to be accorded special and different treatment in terms of access to trade and investments.

President Castro said the challenges of the 21st century

were forcing “us to unite in order to face together the effects of climate change and natural disasters and to co-ordinate our approach to the post 2015 Development Agenda.” He noted particularly the need “to tackle together the domination mechanisms imposed by the unfair international financial system.”

In alluding to the effects of climate change, he revealed that Cuba had conducted studies of dangers, vulnerabilities and risks, and was already implementing a macro-project named Coastal Dangers and Vulnerabilities President Raul Castro 2050-2100. He offered to

share the experience with CARICOM as it included projects on the health condition of coastal dunes and mangroves, as well as evaluation of the beaches, coastal settlements and infrastructure.

The President said CARICOM and Cuba share a common history of colonialism, slavery and struggles for freedom, independence and development. That he said was the melting pot where “our cultures have merged.”

He recalled a statement by his predecessor, Fidel Castro, at the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Cuba and the then four independent countries of the Community, Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago. The former President had said at that time that the four leaders in 1972 had probably realised that their decision in that regard was paving the way for the foreign policy of CARICOM which stood on the three pillars of independence, courage and concerted action.

CARICOM chair calls for end to ‘senseless’ U.S. embargo on Cuba

CHAIRMAN of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister, Gaston Browne has called on the United States President and Congress to end its “senseless embargo of Cuba now.”

Prime Minister Browne was speaking at the opening ceremony of the Fifth CARICOM Cuba Summit in Havana, Cuba yesterday, a press release stated.

He said that CARICOM’s solidarity with Cuba was manifested by the Region’s repeated calls “in every council in every part of the world” for an end to the embargo.

The CARICOM Chairman took the opportunity to express profound appreciation to the host for its role in the fight against Ebola disease.

“Cuban doctors, nurses and technicians have not only put their lives at risk to save

lives in West Africa; they have saved lives around the world by helping to contain and control the spread of Ebola. They deserve our deep respect, our great gratitude and our enduring thanks,” he stated.

The Prime Minister noted that trade between the two sides had grown but was mindful of the challenges that existed for its expansion. He referred to the work being done on a protocol to widen the existing trade and development agreement and stated he had no doubt that a mutually satisfactory result would be achieved.

TRANSPORTATION NETWORK Prime Minister Browne said practical machinery had to be established to expand trade and investment. “Central to such machinery is ef-

fective and affordable transportation for the movement of goods and people between our countries. In this connec-

Prime Minister Gaston Browne tion, I call on this Summit meeting to place high priority on creating mechanisms to move goods, services and passengers throughout our countries. I am convinced

that if Cuba and CARICOM countries can jointly build a transportation network, all our economies will benefit,” he added.

He pointed to the advantages, particularly in the field of tourism, which such a network could bring. “If Cuba and CARICOM countries can establish the air transportation links and a network of collaboration between our hotels, multi-destination tourism - that offers the distinctiveness of our culturally-rich countries could be a winner for all of

us,” he said.

The CARICOM Chairman suggested that CARICOM and Cuba share their knowledge and experience in sports, particular athletics. He jokingly stated that: “If we teach Cubans to play cricket, we might produce a Caribbean cricket team that would restore West Indian cricket to the heights it once majestically enjoyed.”

Prime Minister Browne said that areas for co-operation between CARICOM and Cuba existed at a broad level and it was up to “us to be creative and ingenious in

the ways in which we bolster each other.”

“On matters such as climate change and global warming; on financial services and the dictates of the countries of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and development; on the marginalisation of our concerns by the G20, we should be coordinating our positions and acting in unison.

We may not be able to standup to them alone, but they cannot ignore us if we standup together, the Prime Minister said.

New York prosecutor seeks to probe police killings of unarmed civilians (Reuters) – NEW YORK State’s top prosecutor on Monday sought the power to probe all police killings of unarmed civilians in his state, following sometimes violent U.S. protests over two grand juries’ moves to clear officers in the deaths of unarmed black men.

The morning after angry crowds hurled objects at police who responded with tear gas during protests in northern California, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said action was needed to address a “crisis of confidence” in the criminal justice system.

Cities across the United States have seen large protests in recent nights following a grand jury’s decision not to charge an officer in the July killing of Eric Garner.

An unarmed black father of six, Garner died after police put him in a banned choke-

Indonesian maid says tortured with vacuum cleaner tube in Hong Kong abuse case (Reuters) - AN Indonesian domestic helper told a Hong Kong court on Monday that she had been tortured by her employer, with a vacuum cleaner tube placed in her mouth and twisted to cause lacerations, public broadcaster RTHK said.

The landmark trial, featuring pictures of Erwiana Sulistyaningsih’s bruised body, has sparked international outrage at the treatment of maids in the Asian financial center.

Former Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono denounced her treatment as torture.

Sulistyaningsih’s employer, Law Wan-tung, a former beautician, faces 20 charges, including inflicting grievous bodily harm, assault, and criminal intimidation.

The public broadcaster said Law appeared calm as she pleaded not guilty to all the charges, except one, of failing to take out an insurance policy for an employee.

The domestic helper told the court, through an interpreter, that her employer had slapped, scratched, and punched her.

She said her employer

hold.

The decision in the Garner case came a little more than a week after a Missouri grand jury cleared an officer in the August fatal shooting of an unarmed black teen, Michael Brown.

“The horrible events sur-

rounding the death of Eric Garner have revealed a deep crisis of confidence in some of the fundamental elements of our criminal justice system,” Schneiderman said in a statement. “Nothing could be more critical for both the public and the police officers who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe than acting immediately to restore trust.”

Schneiderman said he was seeking a temporary executive order from state Governor Andrew Cuomo shifting authority to investigate police killings of unarmed civilians to the state from local prosecutors, who work closely with local police, until lawmakers could pass a more permanent measure.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, whose office is investigating the Garner case, on Monday plans to unveil a set of changes to federal law enforcement guidelines intended to set an example for local police, according to a Justice Department official.

had also hit her with hangers, mop handles and a ladder, and she was not paid or allowed enough food or rest, Hong Kong’s public broadcaster RTHK reported.

Sulistyaningsih was only allowed to sleep from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. each day, and given six pieces of bread and a bowl of rice, she added.

While cases of such harsh treatment are rare, Hong Kong’s policies on migrant workers have made maids reluctant to report abuse for fear of losing their livelihoods and being deported.

Maids are paid a minimum wage equivalent to about $520, an attractive sum for women fleeing poverty elsewhere in Asia.

Hong Kong, a former British territory that returned to Chinese rule in 1997, has about 300,000 foreign domestic helpers, most of them from the Philippines and Indonesia.

In April, Time magazine ranked Sulistyaningsih among its 100 Most Influential People, alongside Russian president Vladimir Putin and U.S. singer Beyonce.

Uber banned from operating in Indian capital after rape accusation (Reuters) - U.S. online ride-hailing service Uber has been banned from operating in the Indian capital after a female passenger accused one of its drivers of rape, a case that has reignited a debate about the safety of women in the South Asian nation.

Uber, which had employed the driver even though he had been arrested on allegations of sexual assault three years ago, would be blacklisted from providing any future services in the New Delhi area, the

city’s transport department said in a statement.

The attack is the latest to draw attention to the dangers faced by women in the world’s second-most populous nation. Even after the enactment of new laws imposing stricter penalties and establishing fast-track courts, India is struggling to tame attitudes that leave women vulnerable to harassment and rape.

“Keeping in view the violation and the horrific crime committed by the driver, the transport depart-

ment has banned all activities relating to providing any transport service by the www.Uber.com,” special commissioner Kuldeep Singh Gangar said.

A spokeswoman for Uber said she could not immediately comment.

The arrested driver, Shiv Kumar Yadav, appeared in court on Monday and was remanded in custody for three days. He was arrested on charges of raping a woman three years ago but was later acquitted, police said.

Six men released from Guantanamo Bay arrive in Uruguay (BBC News) SIX prisoners released by the US from the Guantanamo Bay detention centre have arrived in Uruguay as free men.

Earlier this year, Uruguay said it had agreed to received the men - four Syrians, a Tunisian and a Palestinian - as a humanitarian gesture.

The six men were detained 12 years ago for alleged ties with al-Qaeda but never charged.

President Jose Mujica said they had been subjected to “an atrocious kidnapping.”

The Pentagon identified the released detainees as Abu Wael Dhiab, Ali Husain Shaaban, Ahmed Adnan Ajuri, and Abdelahdi Faraj, from Syria; Mohammed Abdullah Taha Mattan, Palestinian; Adel bin Muhammad El

President Barack Obama has pledged to close the detention centre at Guantanamo Bay

Ouerghi, from Tunisia.

A lawyer for 43-year-old Abu Wael Dhiab said his client was grateful to the South American nation for taking him.

“He thinks that this is home,” Cori Crider, lawyer from human rights group Reprieve, told the AP news

agency.

“At the moment of course his main focus is on just getting well, to get well and also of course he wants to see his wife and his kids again.”

Mr Dhiab had been on a hunger strike in Guantanamo in protest against his detention.

Trinidad Government defends deportation of African nationals PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) – THE Trinidad and Tobago Government has defended its decision to spend TT$2.6 million (One TT dollar = US$0.16 cents) to charter a plane to deport 15 illegal Ghana nationals saying that it was difficult to get visas for the men to travel back to their country through commercial flights.

The Ghanaians were deported following a marathon 12-hour court case on Saturday by lawyers to prevent their deportation.

National Security Minister Gary Griffith told the Trinidad Express newspaper that there were 100,000 illegal immigrants here, whom he said were draining the country’s resources. He also accused some of them of being involved in criminal activities.

“The matter has to be dealt with and we cannot bury our heads in the sand.

What was done was done within the law,’’ said Griffith, adding that the deportees can re-apply to be

regularised.

Attorney General Anand Ramlogan denied that the coalition People’s Partnership Government was engaged in a witch hunt against immigrants.

“The rule of law has prevailed and the process was followed. A historic emergency session of the High Court and Court of the Appeal was necessary to avoid any further delay and unwarranted expenditure that can surpass two million dollars,” he said.

“This is not a witch hunt, we are asking persons to come forward and we are providing them with the opportunity to be regularised,” said Ramlogan, who also said that some of the illegal immigrants had a track record related to criminal activities.

“Our intelligence suggests that there are many dimensions to this problem, including links to the gangs, drugs, arms and other crimes that have plagued our society.”

But attorney Faris Scoon

described the move to deport the African nationals as unjust and unhumanitarian.

He said some of the men deported have been living here for more than 10 years and have Trinidadian wives and children here.

“I think that is harsh, oppressive, unjust, inhumane and unhumanitarian conduct. Quite frankly, I am ashamed to be a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago on account of what our immigration policies are,” said Scoon.

Earlier the men had tried to challenge the deportation order of the chief immigration officer but failed.

Justice Ricky Rahim rejected their applications and also ruled that they pay the State’s legal costs.

Their attorneys immediately appealed Justice Rahim’s ruling and proceeded to the Court of Appeal, where Justice Gregory Smith heard the matter and also dismissed all the applications and ordered that the deportation order be executed.

Haiti capital hit by anti-government clashes

An image of Haiti’s Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe was placed against burning tyres in Port-au-Prince

(BBC News) THOUSANDS of anti-governm e n t p ro t e s t e r s h a v e clashed with police in Haiti’s capital Port-au-Prince.

They burned tyres and threw stones at officers who responded with tear gas.

The protesters want President Michel Martelly and Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe to resign and long-overdue elections to be held.

Some protesters accused the U.S. of supporting Haiti’s leadership and called on

Russian President Vladimir Putin for help.

Hundreds succeeded in reaching the National Palace, an area which has been restricted for several years.

One protester, who gave his name as Reginald, said: “Today is a victory against President Martelly who destroys the country, for two years we (are not allowed) to cross in front of the National Palace.”

President Martelly was supposed to call elections in 2011 but they have been

postponed in a stalemate between the government and a group of opposition senators over electoral law.

Haiti is also still struggling to recover from a 2010 earthquake.

Opposition politicians accuse President Martelly of wanting to rule by decree.

The government argues that opposition politicians are also dragging their feet in the hope of extending their time in office without elections.

GPHC: The untold success stories PUBLIC health institutions have evolved a long way from what they were prior to the total transformation of the sector by the PPP/C Government, although human error and transgressions have sometimes caused a lack in requisite and timely service delivery, at times with tragic consequences.

However, while the rare mistakes and shortfalls are trumpeted and emblazoned in headlines by the Opposition media houses, the success stories often are not told, or rate barely a scant mention in some obscure section of the Opposition print media, and hardly any at all by the Opposition electronic press.

But the success sto-

ries are daily occurrences, with dedicated healthcare workers delivering quality service to patients; and such stories should also be highlighted the way the rare anomalies in the system are.

For those health sector workers who shirk their duty and responsibilities to their patients should be severely punished; but, conversely, accolades and appreciation should be showered on those who work beyond the call of duty to provide comfort and care for sick patients, especially to those for whom illness has become a new norm in their lives.

For someone who is ill, a smile and comforting word can mean a great deal, and may even accelerate

recovery, because it is a proven fact that one in good spirits is buoyed enough to fight their illness, while the depressed heart quite easily gives up the fight, causing their health to degenerate even further.

Expressing appreciation for the kindness and care of healthcare providers could also be a motivating factor to encourage those rendering such service to redouble their efforts. Constructive criticism is necessary sometimes; but so, too, are words of praise for work well done.

L a s t S u n d a y, t h i s newspaper reported on a near-miraculous recovery of a badly stricken man, who had become completely paralysed on his entire left

side.

The reporter wrote: “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 Computerised 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.

“After a successful operation by GPHC staff, whereby the doctor removed the clot from his brain, Khan’s recovery was almost immediate, with

his mobility fully restored within two days.

“According to Khan’s relatives: “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.”

So, plaudits are owed the GPHC staffers for the quality healthcare that they provide, most often beyond the call of duty; and to the Government for the expansion of the sector to where every community, including the remote hinterland regions, has access to healthcare institutions and providers.

Ashni was correct, Freddie is wrong – Freddie should retract his words!

I REFER to the Freddie Kissoon column, published in the Sunday, December 07, 2014 edition of the Kaieteur News, entitled, ‘The idiotic, pathetic nonsense of Minister Ashni Singh’.

Differences there will be, and the strong advocacy of different views is essential to the ‘clearing’ of our way, but I was, indeed, shocked and pained by the intemperate language, bordering on the vituperative and vulgar, in that article. I felt the attack, personally, and I wondered: Why? I recognised that, partly, it was because it could have been directed at me; for, when I had read about the event of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) dinner, late on Saturday, December 6, 2014, after having been aboard for a few days, I had concurred with what Ashni Singh was reported to have said at that event. So, emo-

tionally, I was reading the attack on Ashni, as an attack on me. Freddie is not rightand that column will anger many and misguide many others, intensifying discord in our society. I cannot find a redeeming feature in it at all!

My reaction, however, was tempered by some maxims that I recalled. One was that, to be attacked like that might be a good thing, and not a bad thing- it makes real or perceived differences in positions and views, very clear. But that intemperate language was not necessary; it was painful, and not helpful. Freddie has allowed his frustrations to get the better of him! There will always be differences in positions and views, which rightly ought to be debated, and in the course of that debate, we will all be educated and even amend our views.

In the course of getting things done in our country, with people, the resources,

including money, and the time available, one needs feed-back, particularly feedback that is critical in nature.

It is in this view that, I admit, I read Freddie’s columns and others’, as often as I could.

There is no doubt that Freddie’s column presents a view from ‘another’ side. There is, this, some ‘efficiency’ in reading Freddie, to get quickly some of the ‘other’ views.

A second maxim that consoled me some (particularly on reading Freddie’s columns), is about ignoring the person of the speaker, but paying attentions to the words- how true or not, the words are. In this regard, I say without reservation that, in this matter, I stand alongside Ashni, Ashni was correct, and Freddie is wrongFreddie should eat his words!

What is the essence of Freddie’s criticism of what Ashni said? It is that Ashni’s reference to the 238-year-old U.S.A still having democratic

stalemates similar to, and at times even more intense than, that our 48-year-old Guyana, is invalid and not relevant, because the effects of such stalemates and in-figting is much more disastrous on Guyana, than on the U.S.A. That the effects are likely to be more disastrous on Guyana is probably true, and should be something of great concern, but that does not invalidate or make Ashni’s reference irrelevant.

Ashni’s reference is not only correct, but it positions our experience within the process by which nations are built, and it helps us understand the problems that we face and how we may resolve them.

What Ashni was saying is, “Look, the people of the U.S.A have been working for 238 years at achieving accord in their society, but still experience difficulties. Read in their 238-year history of nation-building- their meetings with the indigenous Indians, their ‘Wild West’ frontiers where, for a time, the various outlaws and saloon-keepers

reigned, their civil war, their prohibition period- and you would recognise that they are working always towards a more perfect Union, and you would get a feeling of the process of arriving at where they are today. We in Guyana have been working at it for 48 years- it is not easy, but we must not give up; we must keep on trying.”

As much as we would like it to be so, it would be unreasonable to expect that we would be as developed as the U.S.A is, today.

I think that we (Ashni and I) and Freddie differ on what we consider as the starting state, the natural state of us humans, and the relations between us humans. Freddie seems to hold, and start from the view, that us humans start from a position of full accord, equality, law and order, perfect governance- all milk and honey- and that it is bad people, bad leaders, especially bad politicians, who cause humans to fall from such a state of grace.

We (Ashni and I) start

from a different position- of human individuals with a myriad of conflicting, contradicting, contesting views, out of which a degree of law and order, some sorts of accord and governance, slowly emerges over time, through a series of events: an evolutionary process in which various persons feature- saints and devils, and persons in between- with good things and persons sometimes bringing good results.

In our model, we can expect, and must work for, ever more perfect accord and governance, and are aware that new circumstances and situations keep arising, which put to test the accord, the governance, previously attained.

It is with this view, quixotic and trivial though it may seem to some, that I keep rejecting the description of us Guyanese as a dividend, even splintered, society. That description suggests that we were one at some time: we were never one! Fate threw Turn to page 7 ►

Labourer sentenced to 50 months’ jail for break-and-enter and larceny LABOURER Wizam Khan, from Hill Foot, Soesdyke/Linden Highw a y, a p p e a re d y e s t e rday before City Magistrate Ann McLennan on a break-and-enter and larceny charge.

He was sentenced to 50 months’ imprisonment

after pleading guilty to the charge, which detailed that on December 3 at Eccles, East Bank Demerara, he broke and entered the dwelling house of Alli Khan and stole therefrom a quantity of gold and diamond jewellery valued at $1.8M, and $20,000 cash,

to a total value of $1.82M. Police Prosecutor, Dinero Jones told the court that the defendant and the virtual complainant (VC) are known to each other, and that the defendant would go to the VC’s house to do chores. On the day in question, the defendant went

to the VC’s house to do chores, and was given food.

Before he left, the VC secured his home, leaving there the articles mentioned and the defendant doing work at his residence. Upon his return, Wizam Khan was nowhere to be found; but, entering his home, he

noticed the articles missing, and that louvre panes of a window had been broken.

He subsequently reported the matter to the police; and upon conducting their investigations, the police arrested the defendant, who admitted to the offence

when confronted with information that his finger print had been found on the window.

The defendant then took the police to various places where he had sold the jewellery, and some of the articles were recovered. (Clestine Juan)

How much more can they bear HOW much hypocrisy can the few members and supporters of the Alliance For Change continue to bear, suppress or live in complete denial?

The AFC Leadership made it clear before the 2014 Conference that the nominations for the AFC’s Presidential and Prime Ministerial candidates are not on the agenda and will be done at a Special Conference prior to elections. However, the AFC Leader did in fact once again endorse Mr Nagamootoo and Mr Hughes as the presidential and prime ministerial candidates respectively.

However, the AFC Leadership once again disregarded its own Constitution when no nomination was allowed for the posts of Chairman, Vice-Chairman and General Secretary! This

is in direct contravention of Article 7 Section 4 (c) which emphatically stated that, “The business of the national Conference shall be to ELECT the Leader, Chairman, the Vice-Chairman, the General Secretary and the twelve Committee members of the National Executive.” The AFC is vociferous in calling the prorogation of Parliament by the President an ‘unconstitutional act’ yet they are disregarding their own Constitution on a regular basis.

Can these people be trusted to run this country? This is AFC’s democracy in action!

At the 2012 Conference they did a similar selection when no nominations were allowed for Leader and Chairman and the elections were rigged in favour of Nagamootoo and Patterson.

This year they have gone further - there is no reason to vote anymore the current leaders are there for life! So Burnhamish!

Furthermore, in 2012, the AFC presented an inaccurate and unaudited financial statement which again was in direct contravention of Article 15 Section 9 which spoke of the appointment of an auditor on an annual basis and Article 7 Section 4(b) says that, “The business of the National Conference shall be to receive the Report of the Treasurer”. If these are read together then it means that an audited financial statement should have been presented at that Conference since each year the financial year ends on Ferbruary 28th (Article 15 Section 10). However, at this year’s

Ashni was correct...

our six ancestral groups together here, with all sorts of possibilities before them- the most difficult and challenging of which is the coming together, as one nation, to which we aspire, and which we have undertake. We are a people not divided, but a people coming together from very different starting positions. We have been converging, closing much distance between us, but with some distance still to close!

In a similar way, I bristle on reading reports from multi-laterals and others, and on hearing our people, especially our youth, speaking about what Guyana does not have- as if these things should have just been there, and not things that have to be worked for, and to be built by

us: things which we do not yet have, which we have not yet built, and which we are still to build.

Compared with the U.S.A., Guyana is at a much earlier stage of all aspects of social, economic and political development. That we will experience relatively more turbulence than the more mature U.S.A and, at the same time, be much more vulnerable to such turbulence, even to the point of becoming a so-called failed state is troubling, but true.

Living together calls for sacrifices of our individual inclinations to some common order, which itself is established ‘on the run.’ People make the sacrifices, the compromises,

Freddie states from a different base, one assuming full accord as the point from which we start. I stand with Ashni. Ashni was correct. It is by working through differences over a number of generations that we have a hope of getting ever close to some ideals of accord, democracy, good governance. Freddie was wrong, and wrong to attack Ashni, so! Freddie should retract his words!

Conference the AFC went further by not presenting any financial statements whatsoever! They have moved from an inaccurate and unaudited one to none at all! Yet once again the AFC Leadership is singing about accountability and the need to wipe out corruption.

Once again I will reiterate that the AFC is the most corrupt political party this country has ever seen.

U n f o r t u n a t e l y, t h e

worse is yet to come from the AFC. I had made many revelations to AFC’s Leader Ramjattan in my e-mails to him but corruption runs deep within the AFC and all are consumed. I attempted to change that but I was expelled. Now there is no one in the AFC who is willing to stem the downward slide. The recent Rally at Whim speaks volumes when ‘a crowd’ was actu-

ally ‘rented’ from among APNU supporters from Lancaster and Liverpool.

The AFC leaders cannot fool everyone. In addition, the poor turnout at the National Conference is another indicator- delegates had to be ‘bussed’ to get an attendance! The end is nigh!

Rohee: No fallout resulting from not naming elections date

GUYANA will head to the polls more than a year early, according to an announcement made by President Donald Ramotar over the weekend; and while no date has been set, the ruling party expects no fallout as a result.

“I do not expect a fallout at all. Some people describe it in different ways, but I think the President was tactful in taking that approach,” Clement Rohee, General Secretary of the Peoples Progressive Party (PPP), said during the Party’s weekly press conference held at Freedom House on Robb Street.

Rohee said President Ramotar’s announcement was a “practical” one, considering the current circumstances.

“Politicians in different countries adopt different tactical and strategic approaches in dealing with local elections.

Is there anything wrong with the President and the ruling party adopting certain tactical and strategic approaches with respect to the electoral process in our country? No! So long as it is not unconstitutional,” the PPP General Secretary stressed.

Rohee’s comments follow criticisms of the fact that the President has provided timeframes, as opposed to naming a specific date for general and regional elections early next year.

“Why should we get upset if the President exercises presidential prerogatives within the meaning of the Constitution and the laws of Guyana?” the PPP General Secretary questioned.

The Head of State was clear that a date for the early return to the polls would be announced long before the Mashramani

celebrations, possibly as early as in his New Year’s Message to the nation; and he reasoned that, this way, Guyanese people’s Christmas holidays, less than three weeks away, would not be disrupted.

Rohee accordingly expressed confidence that, “at the appropriate time,” the President would name a date for general and regional elections as he committed over the weekend to doing.

President Donald Ramotar has painstakingly explained that, once a date is set, it would translate into the dissolution General Secretary, of Parliament, which currently Clement Rohee still stands suspended under the November prorogation proclamation.

Had he announced a date for elections on Saturday, it would have meant that political parties would have had to kick into campaign mode, which would have spanned the entire Christmas season.

Also, once the President announces a date to go to general

and regional elections, constitutionally, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has three months within which to deliver; and the Commission is currently engaged in the seventh cycle of continuous registration, which started on December 1.

“I have considered and I have consulted, and this is my

“Is there anything wrong with the President and the ruling party adopting certain tactical and strategic approaches with respect to the electoral process in our country? No, so long as it is not unconstitutional,” – PPP General Secretary, Clement Rohee 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.

President Ramotar’s announcement of a move to general and regional elections comes after his November 18 invitation for dialogue to Leader of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), Brigadier (rtd) David Granger, had been rejected.

Claims of ‘race baiting’ by PPP are red herrings – Rohee THE combined Opposition’s claims that the ruling party is engaging in “race baiting” to regain support among the Guyanese electorate are nothing but “red herrings”, according to General-Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Clement Rohee.

“I don’t know what Mr. Granger is speaking about. I believe this is just a red herring for them (A Partnership for National Unity and the Alliance For Change) to hold onto,” he said yesterday during the party’s weekly press conference at Freedom House, Robb Street.

The PPP General-Secretary questioned the combined Opposition’s justification for their claims, which he termed scurrilous.

PPP FUNDING SECURE Asked about the party’s financing capacity, Rohee made it clear that the PPP has always been able to secure funding for its activities.

“We have always been able to carry out our campaign successfully…the PPP uses its own resources,” he stressed.

The General-Secretary also fielded questions about the allegations that the ruling party has accessed state funds for its activities, an allegation he trashed.

He challenged that if there is evidence of such, it should be made public as justification.

The three political parties are expected to intensity their campaigning, given President Donald Ramotar’s announcement of the move to general elections in face of the current political impasse.

NEW YEAR’S MESSAGE The Head of State was clear that a date for the early return to the polls will be announced long before the Mashramani

celebrations, possibly as early as in his New Year’s Message to the nation, and he reasoned that this way, Guyanese people’s Christmas holidays, less than three weeks away, will not be disrupted.

“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 on Saturday during a press conference.

COST OF TALKS Prior to the Head of State’s announcement political pundits wondered 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 the 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.

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 the 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.

Given the President’s announcement Guyanese would be headed to the polls more than a year ahead of schedule, since the next elections were not expected until 2016.

Rohee says Opposition exposing cloven hooves “YOU must be fearless and fry the big fish…we will jail the PPP and we will fry them.” These were the sentiments expressed by Leader of the Alliance For Change (AFC), Khemraj Ramjattan, at the party’s fourth biennial conference held on Saturday.

And General-Secretary of the ruling Party, Clement Rohee, contends that, like the main Opposition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), AFC has exposed its intention.

“The Opposition is exposing its cloven hooves, if they were to get one foot in the door General Secretary of Government,” he said.

Clement Rohee According to him, Ramjattan’s comments are reminiscent of the past years under the People’s National Congress (PNC)

regime; comments that also bear a resemblance to those made

by APNU Leader, Brigadier (rtd) David Granger, recently.

Rohee surmised that “witch hunting” and “kangaroo court trials” will be the order of the day, given the pronouncements by leaders of both Opposition parties.

“There will always be this specter created by the leaders of those parties and some sections of the media that we are fearful, but it could be that they are fearful of the PPP too.”

PPP General-Secretary, Clement Rohee Asked if the party was “fearful” of the Opposition, the People’s Progressive Party, General-Secretary declared that this was not so. “It is nothing of the sort,” he stressed.

Rohee acknowledged talk of a ‘fearful PPP’ but was emphatic in asserting that the ruling party is ready and prepared to face any eventuality.

He said, “The PPP is probably the strongest party in Guyana right now and in addition to that it is the most battle-hardened party.

“The APNU has never taken the blows like the PPP and the AFC has never taken the blows like the PPP. We are tough and ready and always prepared, so this question of fear is a non-issue…we have done our work.”

The three political parties are expected to intensity their campaigning, given President Donald Ramotar’s announcement of the move to general elections in face of the current political impasse early in the new year.

However, the PPP General-Secretary reiterated that the party is ready.

“There will always be this specter created by the leaders of those parties and some sections of the media that we are fearful, but it could be that they are fearful of the PPP too,” Rohee concluded.

Rohee warns….

AFC is a ‘force-ripe’ party trying to replace APNU THE proposal by the Alliance For Change (AFC) to advance a “broad pro-democracy coalition” that includes the main Opposition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), and disenchanted former supporters of the ruling party has attracted negative comments from both parties.

“Indeed the AFC is ready to enter, if necessary, into negotiations to lead a pro-democracy alliance with progressive forces, workers unions, political forces and by political forces we mean even PPP members who have been disenfranchised and APNU,” AFC Leader Khemraj Ramjattan said at the party’s fourth biennial conference on Saturday.

APNU Leader, Brigadier (rtd) David Granger has dubbed the proposal a premature one, explaining that while the possibility is one to look forward too, AFC’s declarations are hasty.

Meanwhile, General-Secretary of the ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Clement Rohee contends that AFC is a “force-ripe” party.

“It is a force-ripe proposal. AFC is a force-ripe party. They are seeking to big up themselves,” he said at the party’s weekly press conference at Freedom House yesterday.

According to him, the ruling party will “wait and see” the nature of the alliance proposed by the AFC.

the challenges of other political parties.

“The AFC poaches on PPP and the PNC. That’s what they do, which is why it is said the APNU better watch out for the AFC. This time I think they are targeting APNU supporters. The last time they targeted our supporters, but what has happened is that our supporters are coming back home; whereas there is a lot of dissatisfaction with APNU and Linden is a case in point. The AFC is seeking to cash in on the disenchantment in APNU stronghold and take advantage of the challenges of Mr. Granger’s leadership,” Rohee said.

WARNING FOR APNU Additionally, Rohee warned that it appears that the AFC is trying to upstage the main Opposition, APNU. “They are seeking to replace Mr. Granger as the Leader of the Opposition and the APNU better watch out for the AFC, because the APNU may very well find themselves being replaced by the AFC if they do not watch out,” he said.

‘POACHERS’ He pointed out that AFC are “poachers” that capitalises on

General Secretary Clement Rohee

David Granger

The PPP General-Secretary added that these challenges to Granger’s leadership were evident in a “laudatory” letter, relative to the AFC, from APNU Member of Parliament (MP) Carl Greenidge.

“If we have political neo-fights into the Opposition we can’t help them,” he said, adding that something is clearly “rotten in the kingdom of Demark,” referring to the Office of

the Opposition Leader.

AFC CHALLENGED Even as the AFC is advancing talks of replacing the ruling party, the party itself is facing challenges of its own.

Notably, it still remains to be seen if the party’s conference, which was initially slated for October, effectively addressed its internal challenges or whether fuel was added to the fire, particularly given pronouncements made by its leader. The challenges, according to several political observers, include: * Internal wrangling as a result of Ramjattan’s endorsement of Nagamootoo as the party’s presidential candidate; * The resignations of mainstream supporters; * The perception that it is aligned with the main Opposition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), particularly as it relates to the divisions in the party, which has seen two factions emerging – the Ramjattan faction and the Hughes Khemraj Ramjattan faction; * Indications of lost support in People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) constituencies where it managed to secure something of a foothold during the 2011 elections; and * Damning allegations that the party is practicing race politics.

Despite this, in addressing the stated challenges, Ramjattan on Saturday declared that, “This Party is a united party.”

Undertakers removing the body of the man from the security hut

By Leroy Smith A late afternoon robbery attempt on Sterling Products on the East Bank of Demerara has left a security guard dead and another man nursing a gunshot wound to the leg.

Dead is father of two, Wilfred Steven Stewart,of Graham’s Hall East Coast Demerara, who was attached to the Edward B Beharry Security Company for more than 15 years.

The gunmen, who were carrying riffles, were reportedly transported to the location in a white car which was heavily tinted.

However police sources have indicated to this newspaper that video footage did not serve much of a purpose, since the footage was not clear, though it did allow investigators to ascertain the number of gunmen who invaded the place and established that they were carrying riffles.

Speaking with this publication also was the brother of the dead man who identified himself as Clive Stewart.

When this publication visit-

Meanwhile police intelligence were informed that the men who committed the act might have fled to a village farther up the East Bank Demerara but quick response by the ranks failed to net anyone who might have been suspect.

Lyken Funeral Parlor undertakers arrived at the location and removed the body of the man from the bloodied guard hut which was then secured and guarded by police as investigations continue. The body was then taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Businessman murdered by bandits in daring interior robbery

By Leroy Smith UP TO late yesterday, police in the interior were hunting for three men whom they said had murdered 50-year-old businessman Linden Mc Almont of 72 Robindra Street, Annandale, East Coast Demerara and stripped his wife Maureen Mc Almont of her jewellery during a robbery at Mango Landing early yesterday morning.

Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle yesterday afternoon at her Annandale address, the dead man’s step-daughter Abiola Fraser said she was at home when she received a call from her mother early yesterday morning to inform that her step-father had been murdered.

Fraser said she enquired from her mother how Mc Almont had been murdered, and was told that the couple had been robbed by bandits during which Mc Almont had sustained a single gunshot wound to the head.

Fraser said that on Wednesday her mother and step-father would have celebrated their third wedding anniversary. She related that the couple operated a grocery shop for the past seven years in the interior location, and it was only last Friday that Maureen Mc Almont had returned to the location after spending a few days in the city.

This newspaper was told that Maureen Mc Almont had just returned from pur-

Businessman Linden McAlmont and his wife, Maureen McAlmont

chasing some items when one of her workers approached her at the vehicle and told her that the police had just visited her husband in the shop. The woman reportedly questioned why her husband would be of any interest to the police, but she nevertheless remained in her vehicle. While sitting there, one of the three bandits approached the car; kicked the door, shattering the window in the process; and began demanding cash and gold from her. The bandits were specific in requesting that the woman hand over her wedding band and earrings.

They were also given a gold bracelet which the woman had.

Not satisfied with that haul, the bandit continued to request more gold and jewellery from the woman, who told him that she had recently returned to the area and that business was slow.

She was then taken into the shop and directed to a storeroom where she was locked away.

By that time her employee had sprinted from the area to seek cover, after he realised that the husband and wife were being robbed.

While being locked in the store room, the woman heard several shots but did not realise that one of those shots had been directed to the head of her husband.

After the bandits left, the couple’s worker returned to the shop and freed the woman from the locked storeroom; and she was told that her husband had fled from the bandits.

However, after waiting a while and not seeing her husband returning, the woman decided to reenter the shop and enter her bedroom, where she found her husband dead in a sitting position with what appeared to be a bullet wound to his head.

Yesterday the police said that the man was pronounced dead on arrival at the Mahdia Hospital, and his body is in that mortuary.

Driver on bail for stealing Dr. Prem Misir’s Blackberry Torch cellphone DRIVER Shawn Suresh of 106 South Sophia, Georgetown was on Monday placed on $25,000 bail when he appeared before City Magistrate Ann McLennan to answer a charge of larceny.

he stole one Blackberry To r c h c e l l p h o n e w o r t h 120,000 from Dr. Prem Misir.

The father of two was represented by attorney– a t – l a w, M a r k C o n w a y, who told the court that his client was not guilty as charged, is not a flight risk, and had been released

on $20,000 station bail.

Police Prosecutor, Dinero Jones did not object to bail, but explained that the allegedly stolen item was not recovered.

Suresh will make his next court appearance before Magistrate Dylon Bess on January 6, 2015.

Grenada hosts CSME training session on treatment of CARICOM nationals PERSONNEL in Grenada from Customs, Immigration, Business and Investment agencies and the Ministries of Tourism and Culture took the opportunity to participate in a CSME refresher training session hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs during the past week.

The worksite meetings led off a schedule of technical meetings, designed specifically for officers from the Public Service and businesses that administer processes, advise their clients with respect to free movement of people, capital, goods, services and the rights under establishment of CSME (CARICOM Single Market and Economy) regimes, or benefits from these rights, a press release stated.

Facilitating the sessions was a technical panel of Grenadian experts comprising Mr. Ché Phillip and Mrs. Dunnaliz Commodore, both Foreign Service Officers responsible for the CARICOM and OECS Desk within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Inspector Leroy Joseph from the Immigration Department; and Mr. Ernie James, Senior Customs Officer.

The face-to-face knowledge-enhancing teaching approach aims to reduce the knowledge gap of officers and beneficiaries, in relation to their administration of or access to processes and procedures necessary for the efficient and effective functioning of the CSME.

According to Foreign Officer Phillip, the training is geared to ensure that Grenadians can move, work and explore opportunities in the CARICOM Single Market (CSM) and that all CARICOM Member States participating in the CSME adhere to the ruling of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) under the acceptable standards for the treatment of CARICOM nationals at the border.

“It is incumbent upon each of us to know what was articulated by the Heads and enshrined into (CARICOM) Community Law, because in matters to do with the CSME Regimes, Community Law supersedes National Law. To do otherwise will be to infringe on the rights of CARICOM nationals, and cause Grenada to be in breach of the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramus and the rulings of the CCJ,” the officer said.

Reinforcing the importance of information sharing through channels like technical worksite meetings, Mrs. Commodore indicated that it is only when Grenadians attempt to access the CSME regimes, can the systems and procedures be tested and refined, and case studies be used for further learning since CSME implementation will continue to be in process for a while.

SHANIQUE MYRIE CASE “Human error exists and sometimes mistakes can

be made, but when this happens we as professionals are to own up quickly, apologise and regularise as quickly as possible to avert crisis situations such as the Shanique Myrie case; because ordinary citizens are becoming more and more informed about their rights as CARICOM Nationals and they will challenge you.”

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the worksite meetings will continue in January 2015. Training opportunities will also be created for Grenadian teachers to help them integrate knowledge of the CSME regimes into the curriculum; for public officers and other persons to develop their capacity to serve as knowledgeable CSME spokespersons.

Media workers will also benefit from up-to-date major decisions and landmark rulings, as well as on the diversity of newsworthy topics offered by the functioning and further implementation of the CSME. Grenada is a beneficiary of a Canadian-funded, CARICOM Secretariat executed project to improve CSME information flows between agencies and the public.

Similar activities are also taking place in Belize, Dominica, Guyana, Jamaica and St. Vincent and The Grenadines, the release concluded.

Regional company registrars consider integrated online registry - to increase cross-border economic activity

A MEETING to discuss the development of a complete online registry among 12 Member States participating in the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME) kicked off yesterday in Saint Lucia and runs until Wednesday.

The three-day meeting, which was convened by the CARICOM Secretariat, is funded by the European Union under the 10th European Development Fund (EDF) as part of the CSME and Economic Integration Programme, a press release stated.

Registrars of companies across the Region are considering the proposal for the harmonisation of online registries in the CSME participating Member States. This harmonisation would be facilitated by the web interface and interoperability of the respective systems allowing users access to information from participating Member States. The objective of the initiative is for interested parties to be able to register businesses/companies online across Member States, thereby increasing cross-border economic activity. The other issues that are down for discussion are the software and hardware requirements of the systems to be installed as well as training for data entry operators and other relevant users in the registries.

The beneficiary Member States under the project are Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and The Grenadines, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago. Alfa XP Europe Limited is the company undertaking the consultancy. The meeting ends on Thursday, the release added.

Murder accused Rondell Bacchus to be tried by Justice Singh in 2015 MURDER accused, Rondell Bacchus, cited last week for contempt when he protested to being tried by Justice Navindra Singh, who had previously heard against him a case in which there had been a hung jury, will be tried by the same judge at the next session of the Demerara Criminal Assizes.

And the accused, who was fined $18,000 for contemptuous behaviour, in that he had been disrespectful to the judge, will be represented by attorney-at-law, Nigel Hughes, who appeared in court yesterday as counsel for Bacchus.

Presently engaged in another court, Mr. Hughes has applied to Justice Navindra Singh for a postponement of the retrial, which was to have begun yesterday.

The judge has granted the application, and the trial is to take place at the January session next year. (George Barclay)

Secretariat reveals exciting calendar of events for Mash 2015

NEXT year’s Mashramani celebrations should be most exciting, according to the provisional Mashramani Calendar of Events.

American Stores makes donation to St. Barnabas Special School A BRAND new four-burner stove was on Saturday donated to the St. Barnabas Special School by the family-owned American Stores Limited, located at the corner of Regent Road and Cummings Street, Bourda.

The store which prides itself on being about more than sales, donated the much needed stove in observance of its one-year anniversary in Guyana.

Human Resources Manager, Mischa Ferraz said that the store is committed to and cares about Guyana and giving back to the community.

They previously donated toys for the school’s Christmas party and will continue to support the school.

NEW STORE BRANCHES She also said the response by the store’s customers has

been so good that they have decided to expand in Guyana and new branches will soon be opened.

Miss Pattenson, a teacher at the St. Barnabas Special School which is situated next to American Stores, received the donation on behalf of the school. She said the donated stove will come in handy for the school to teach their students cooking skills.

She also mentioned that the stove will be helpful during the Christmas season to provide baked goodies for the students. The store, from time to time, helps the school in whatever way they can, and for this, she said, they are very grateful.

Meanwhile, customers at the store were not forgotten in the celebrations as they were offered a 10% storewide discount on all cash purchas-

es for the day, in addition to giveaways and refreshments and treats.

A 10% discount on credit purchases storewide, with nothing down required in the month of December is inclusive of the store’s Christmas promotions.

NA AMERICAN STORES BRANCH Country Manager of American Stores, Steve Nauth said that their customers in Berbice will have the advantage of a store closer to home as they will be opening the 11 Strand, New Amsterdam Branch. Their customers on that day will have the opportunity to “Spin the Wheel” to get up to 50% off their purchases.

There are two branches of the American Stores established in Guyana - one on

Country Manager, Steve Nauth hands over the donation of a new four-burner stove to Miss Pattenson of the St. Barnabas Special School

the corner of Regent Road and Cummings Street and the other on Durban Street in Lodge. There are also plans

for a Linden branch.

The American Stores has been in existence since 1950, meeting the needs of

customers for quality furniture and appliances for over 60 years in Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana.

Participants paying keen attention during a training session for tour guides and park wardens

park wardens.

Speaking during an interview with the media on Saturday last, facilitator for the programme, Thadaigh Baggallay disclosed that “the objective of the programme is to train local villagers from around Kaieteur National Park and to pass on the skills needed to be either a tour guide or a park warden.”

Baggallay noted that the training which is scheduled from December 3-11 is for current staff and also potential new recruits.

He further stated that prior to the training, “five new recruits will be employed as a result of the training, and the remaining participants will be able to use their newly-acquired skills to apply for

other jobs and possibly potential workers in Kaieteur.”

In closing he noted that apart from him, there is also a representative from the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) who was also recruited to train the participants in using a compass and reading a map, in addition to radio use and first aid techniques.

VERY BENEFICIAL When asked whether or not the training was beneficial, some of the participants stated that the programme is very beneficial to them and they appreciate the effort which was made by the WWF and the Frankfurt Zoological Society to do something such as this for them.

Tourism Awareness Month activities…

Berbice Wedding Expo, Rupununi Christmas Fair still to be staged THE Ministry of Tourism’s Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) yesterday stated that plans are in place for the remainder of 2014 and also for the beginning of the New Year 2015, after successfully completing a long list of activities in Tourism Awareness Month which was held in November.

Speaking at a press conference yesterday, Director of the GTA, Indranauth Haralsingh, noted that as tourism continues to rise in Guyana, the Ministry of Tourism through the GTA continues to hold numerous activities across the country to aid in this development.

Haralsingh stated that although they had completed a number of activities during Tourism Awareness Month, there were still a few that had to be postponed and will be carried out during December and in January.

Some of the upcoming activities include: the Berbice Wedding Expo which is slated for Sunday December 7 and the Rupununi Christmas Fair which will be held on December 13.

Haralsingh added that horse-racing is a growing event in Guyana, particularly in Berbice, and has since been contributing tremendously to the tourism sector because persons come from all across the Caribbean to witness these events.

He noted that the first horse-race meeting will be held on December 14 at the Crawford Memorial Sports Club where 2.3 million Guyana Dollars will be up for grabs; additionally on December 21 there will be the Guyana Cup rematch (Jumbo Jet Horse Racing), at the Port Mourant Turf Club where 9.5 million dollars will be up for grabs.

Also, the Branding Workshop for the media, the private sector and tourism stakeholders will be held in January.

GTA’s Director in closing stated that he’s urging persons to come out and support these events and in turn contribute to the development of tourism in Guyana.

Soesdyke mason charged for ganga possession in East Berbice raid TWENTY-SIX-YEAR-OLD mason, Kevin James of Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara was yesterday granted bail when he appeared in a Berbice court charged for ganga possession.

The police had, on the previous day at about 13:00 hrs, discovered what appeared to be seeds, leaves and stems of the marijuana plant at the Lot 3-30 Bush Lot, Corentyne Berbice home of Suberna Ishmael, where the man was staying with his daughter and another person when they conducted a search at the premises for stolen items and marijuana, after acting on intelligence.

The police were investigating reports that stolen items had been stashed at the home and that occupants of the home had narcotics in their possession.

On arrival at the home, the police found Kevin James at the premises with his daughter, Nafeeza Matterson; and during their search, the police stumbled on a silver coloured handbag under a bed and questioned to whom it belonged. James responded that the bag was his, and the police carried out a search of the bag in his presence, unearthing a black plastic bag containing nine Ziplock transparent plastic bags each having parcels of seeds, leaves and stems suspected to be cannabis sativa.

The police confiscated the items and took the three persons into custody; and when the items were weighed in their presence, it amounted to 200 grammes.

U.S. citizen fined $49M, sentenced to 5 years in jail for CJIA cocaine bust UNITED STATES citizen, Tanasha Le Fleming, 28, was yesterday fined in excess of $49M and was sentenced to 5 years’ imprisonment by City Magistrate Ann McLennan on a drug trafficking charge.

Le Fleming pleaded guilty to the charge that detailed that on December 5, at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), Timehri, East Bank Demerara, he had in his possession 18.295 kilogrammes of cocaine for the

purpose of trafficking.

The court heard that on the day in question, at about 09:35 hrs, Le Fleming was an outgoing passenger with Dynamic Airways, bound for the JFK Airport in New York, when ranks from the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) stationed at the airport observed that when Le Fleming’s suitcase was placed on the conveyer belt, a strange image emerged.

Ranks opened the suitcase and conducted a search in the

presence of Le Fleming, and the suspected cocaine was discovered in seven packets of Champion baking powder and five packets of Champion custard powder.

The unrepresented man told the court that ranks at the Police Headquarters have possession of US $300 and Gy$6000 that belong to him; but Police Prosecutor Dinero Jones told the court that the money was confiscated as part of the proceeds. (Geeta Rampersaud)

Truck driver on $800,000 bail on causing death by dangerous driving charge TRUCK driver, Winston Felix, 59, of Windsor Forest Railway Embankment, WCD was yesterday placed on $800,000 bail by City Magistrate Ann McLennan on a causing death by dangerous driving charge which detailed that on November 28 at Agricola Public Road, East Bank Demerara, he drove motor lorry GKK 8663 in a manner dangerous to the public, thereby causing the death of Fatima Jamal.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge, but the prosecution’s facts revealed that, on the day in

question, Jamal was crossing on the pedestrian crossing whilst Felix was driving the said lorry. Felix admitted that he saw Jamal crossing the road, but his right front bumper collided with her.

Felix was represented by attorney-at-law, Mr. Rabindra Rooplall, who told the court that his client has been a driver for more than 14 years, with no prior conviction or pending matter. He requested bail for Felix, stating that his client does not possess any travel documents and does not pose a flight risk.

Police Prosecutor Dinero Jones, however, opposed bail

on grounds of the nature and gravity of the offence and the penalty attached. He added that Felix did not give the police any address, and further noted that because Felix does not have a passport does not mean that he does not pose a flight risk.

Counsel added that, on the day of the accident, Jamal was looking in the wrong direction when she commenced crossing the three-way lane.

The prosecution’s objection was, nevertheless, overruled, and the matter was transferred before Magistrate Dylon Bess for January 6, 2015.

Nepalese nationals remanded to Dec 11 for immigration offence TWELVE Nepalese nationals were yesterday remanded

to prison by City Magistrate Ann McLennan for depart-

ing Guyana, on November 15 at Charity, Essequibo, without first presenting themselves to an immigration officer.

Through an interpreter, each of the defendants pleaded not guilty to the charge, and Police Prosecutor, Dinero Jones told the court that they had all entered Guyana legally via the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), Timehri, East Bank Demerara and some of them were granted two weeks’ stay in Guyana whilst others were granted three weeks.

The court heard that they departed Guyana from Charity, Essequibo, but were arrested in Venezuela for not being in possession of Venezuelan visas, and were deported to Guyana.

The unrepresented men were eventually refused bail and the matter stands adjourned to December 11 for report.

Aries - March 21 - April 19 Something's gotten into you today. An iconoclastic imp inside you is determined to tear down every convention, especially in the art world. Why are you so furious with orthodoxy? Did you dream that an imitator stole one of your ideas and made a fortune with it? If you were an art critic, we would expect you to sing the praises of the vanguard.

Taurus - April 20 - May 20 If you're involved in an occupation similar to that of your mother or father, today you may question if the choice was yours or preordained. Did you take this career path of your own volition? If not, what is it that you should really be doing with your professional life? You feel rebellious and yearn for more independence. You might want to find more freedom within the confines of your existing career.

Gemini - May 21 - June 21 Most people form their opinions on the basis of what they're told by a few people who supposedly know what they're talking about. Certain ideas become fashionable.

Today, you have no patience for these tendencies. In fact, you're tempted to use vulgar language just to shock the pseudo-intellectuals out of their complacency. Alas, you can't do it. They will simply raise an eyebrow and turn away.

Cancer - June 22 - July 22 If you're involved with theatre, dance, or painting, the day ahead will be a bright one for you. You feel a strong desire to bring people together in pursuit of some artistic endeavour. Listen to your longings. You're likely to be a sharp talent scout, or at the very least, a person who is able to enhance other people's talents.

Leo - July 23 - August 22 Today you can expect to have some disagreements with your partner or friend. You may overreact. If you do, it's only because the climate of the last few days has made you feel more vulnerable than usual. It's your tendency when faced with tension to be the first to back down. Try not to do it this time. Sometimes self-sacrifice comes at too high a cost.

Virgo - August 23 - September 22 Today you will be confrontational. This comes after several weeks of holding yourself back from openly criticising other people. You have especially strong feelings concerning anything that touches activities outside of the family. An explosion is imminent and likely unavoidable. Go ahead and express yourself. You will all be best friends again tomorrow!

Libra - September 23 - October 22 You must be wondering what in the world is going on? On the one hand, you have humanistic and harmonious thoughts about your family and work environment. On the other hand, you also have a deep desire to destroy everything in order to start fresh! You will have to choose. In any case, given the current climate and the fire inside you, any sort of compromise will prove difficult. Don't go overboard!

Scorpio - October 23 - November 21 You may be planning for the future, yet find yourself needing to make choices that will resonate far beyond the next few months. It's possible that you will have to consider sending your children to a new school, for example, or decide to move across the country. These are big decisions, to be sure, but trust that you won't be making them alone. Your loved ones have a say in these matters!

Sagittarius - November 22 - December 20 You can expect to be volatile today! No one will dare contradict you or insinuate that you've taken your ideas from others. You have the potential to get really angry. Rather than say things you might later regret, write down your thoughts. And if you do feel the need to make a speech, do it in public.

Capricorn - December 21 - January 19 Don't hesitate to speak up for what is right, even if it means confronting someone with power. So be it. The slightest injustice can't be tolerated. When you voice your opinion, as you feel compelled to do, it makes others respect you. This has been a long time coming, and it does you a tremendous amount of good!

Aquarius - January 20 - February 18 Aquarius, no one has ever accused you of being overly diplomatic. In fact, since you have no compunction about saying what you think, your mouth regularly gets you into trouble. It's true that your verbal outbursts often relieve tension in tight situations, but there are times when kind words are a more effective way to get a point across. Why not try it?

Pisces - February 19 - March 20 There's some likelihood you'll become irritated with someone close to you today. Just who do they think they are, anyway? How insulting to put on such an act, especially considering how long you've known each other. Whatever you fight about, at the heart of it is your frustration and concern that your friendship may end. Try not to overreact. Express yourself mildly.

Canada, ranked number eight and top Group A, will open the tournament on June 6 at Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium against 14th ranked China.

Other teams in Group A include New Zealand and the Netherlands.

Defending champions Japan lead Group C which includes Switzerland, Cameroon and Ecuador, the last nation to qualify for the tour-

Thailand is a newcomer,” said German coach Silvia Neid. “As for Ivory Coast, you always have to take African sides seriously.”

The tournament will be staged at six venues across Canada with the July 5 final at Vancouver’s BC Place.

The top two teams in each of the six groups plus the best four third-place finishers advance to the knockout round.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter, whose organisation has been dogged by a wave

GATINEAU, Quebec, (Reuters) - Concerns over artificial turf were replaced by worries over opponents as number one-ranked Olympic champions the United States found themselves in the ‘Group of Death’ at the 2015 Women’s World Cup draw last Saturday.

The Americans landed in Group D alongside fifthranked Sweden, who conceded just one goal in 10 qualifying matches, 10th-ranked Australia and African champions Nigeria.

“It’s probably the toughest group there is but I think that’s historically been the path the USA have taken and we’re obviously going to embrace it,” U.S. coach Jill Ellis told reporters.

“At the end of the day you’ve got to play good teams to win it and at some point you’re going to match up with quality opponents and this happens to be right Canadian athlete Chantal Petitclerc draws the first team at the official draw for the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada in the first match.”

Stoby is ...

FROM BACK PAGE Chronicle Sport spoke with one of the judges, who disclosed that Stoby had a better overall package.

He had more muscle mass – thick and dense - while Andrews was still holding water in his legs.

Stoby returned later in the evening to face off against the four other category winners – Under-143 lb – Zalim Bacchus of the Tej Mohall Gym in Skeldon, Marlon Bennett – Xtreme Fitness in the Under-154 lb, Former Mr Guyana Sylvan Gardner – The Under- 165 lb and Alex Hamilton the Over-176 lb class – and won easily.

He also copped the Best Poser Trophy.

“Hard work, dedication, the whole nine yards. I put my best foot forward and I got the results that I needed,” said Stoby of his performance.

The Men’s Physique class is now being introduced in Guyana. It’s for those athletes who do not want to build to the point of becoming massive, but yet have an aesthetically pleasing physique.

Some 15 athletes came on stage. One took the title - a lover of the stage and crowdpleaser Does Burgzong of Suriname.

Athletes first walked out, clad in beach shorts and advertised their physique – making a ‘T-Walk’ of the stage. They then were called back to go through four quarter turns – showing their front and back and right and left sides.

Stabroek News Sports Journalist and Body Max athlete Emmerson Campbell finished 2nd with his gym-mate Nick Grimes in third.

The females competed in three divisions – Ms Flex night Best Legs, and Ms Bikini Short and Tall Classes.

The Ms Flex Night Best Legs had two segments – the Mini Dress Sequence and the Compulsory Poses in whole bathing suits.

For the Mini Dress segment, the ladies were all ‘dolled up’ hair, nails, eyes, accessories and some ‘wicked’ stiletto heels. They made a T-Walk from back to front and left to right stage, striking various poses as they strutted their stuff.

In round two, the 11 ladies returned in whole-piece bathing suits, minus the heels.

They went through six poses, showing the development of their legs from the back and front, extended to the sides and pointing front - almost in a ‘pistol squat’.

Mr Flex Night 2014 Winston Stoby shows his package.

At the end of the two rounds, Alisha Fortune of the GDF Gym came out victorious with Fiona Spencer of Fitness Express 2nd and Suriname’s Suelle Shepperd 3rd. Crowd favourites Marissa Lowden of Fitness Paradise and Vanety Bouwe of Suriname finished 4th and 5th respectively. The decision did not go down well with the audience.

Then there were the Bikini classes for Short and Tall Women – clad in twopiece outfits and heels with the T-Walk on the stage and the compulsory poses for comparisons.

Shawnell Warner won the Short class with Fiona Spencer 2nd and Sonia Cummings third, while Suriname’s Suelle Shepperd won the Tall class from her country-woman Vanety Bouwe. Lowden finished third.

The top two ladies in both classes then came together for Flex Nigh Bikini Overall title. When the comparisons were all done Warner was given the title; Shepperd 2nd, Bouwe 3rd and Spencer was 4th.

Flex Night director Donald Sinclair said some 60 athletes registered for the event -largest ever in the history of the event and for any local show.

“The quality of physiques was quite impressive and we’re pleased.

There are some areas we need to work on like the poses and outfits and it (the Show) has pointed us into where our growth areas are going to be,” said Sinclair of the event.

There will be another edition come next year.

No budging on DRS for stand-in India captain Kohli

By Ian Ransom ADELAIDE, Australia (Reuters) - Stand-in India captain Virat Kohli has stuck to the party line on cricket’s decision review system (DRS), saying his team would only endorse its use if it were 100 percent accurate.

India’s four-Test series against Australia will go ahead without the use of the sometimes controversial DRS, with the tourists rejecting it in every bilateral tournament they play.

“The only point we maintain is that it’s not 100 percent,” he told reporters at Adelaide Oval yesterday.

“And we see incidents happen where DRS has been taken and some people feel

that it’s clearly a not-out decision and they’ve been given out.

“Or it seems like it’s out and guys have been given not out and (there’s) more than half a ball hitting the stumps.

“It just doesn’t make sense to us sometimes. Unless it’s 100 percent accurate I don’t think it can be a thing that will change our take on it.

“If it gets 100 percent accurate and consistent, then, who knows?”

Kohli confirmed he would lead the side in the first Test in Adelaide starting today in the absence of the injured Mahendra Singh Dhoni, and he has promised to bring a more aggressive approach to his team’s some-

Though India shuns the DRS for all bilateral tournaments, with world governing body, the ICC, maintaining that both parties must agree to its use, they will have to

play with the system at the upcoming one-day World Cup in Australia and New Zealand next year.

After Adelaide, the teams play Tests in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.

Brazil football legend Pele to leave hospital today

van Persie brace lifts United to third LONDON, England (Reuters) - Robin van Persie scored twice as Manchester United continued their recent resurgence to climb to third in the Premier League after a 2-1 victory against Southampton yesterday.

The Dutchman scored in each half as United, who were distinctly second best for much of the game, secured their fifth successive Premier League victory.

Graziano Pelle ended a personal goal drought

dating back to October by equalising but Southampton have now lost three successive Premier League games and are without a league victory since a 1-0 victory against struggling Leicester City on November 8.

Manchester United have 28 points, five behind rivals Man City in second and eight less than leaders Chelsea while Southampton have dropped to fifth on 26 points, one point behind fourth-placed West Ham United.

Pietersen still has hopes of Test revenge over Australia MELBOURNE, Australia (Reuters) - Kevin Pietersen has not given up hope of a return to Test cricket and the chance to avenge the humiliating 5-0 defeat at the hands of Australia in the last Ashes series, the former England batsman said yesterday.

The South African-born maverick was sacked by England in the wake of that tour and made reconciliation unlikely by releasing a book in October which contained attacks on the national cricket board and several of his former team mates.

In Australia to play for the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash Twenty20 league, however, Pietersen said he foresaw “a lot of changes” in the England set-up over the next six months which could just offer him a route back to Test cricket.

“I have 8 300 runs, I’d love to get 10 000 Test runs,” the 34-year-old told reporters.

“I’d love to beat Aus-

tralia again ... last time, we got hammered. That doesn’t sit well. I’m not a player who likes being hammered; I’m a player who plays to win.”

Pietersen’s final Test was the 281-run defeat in Sydney in January and he has largely been restricted to playing Twenty20 matches since then.

While that has done little for his hopes of playing red ball cricket for England again, it has allowed him to recuperate from the knee problem that dogged him throughout his last trip to Australia.

“I should have had a microfracture (surgery) before the double Ashes last year,” he added.

“But I was flying around this country getting injected by every single doctor to try to get myself through.

“Having not played Test cricket since January, my body has felt a hell of a lot better. I’m feeling good, ready to go.”

Pele

(Tuesday December 09, 2014) SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) - Brazilian football legend Pele has overcome a urinary tract infection and will be discharged from the hospital where he had kidney stones removed three weeks ago, his doctors said yesterday.

“Considering his good recovery, the medical team programmed his release for tomorrow,” the doctors at Sao Paulo’s Albert Einstein hospital said in a statement.

The three-time World Cup champion underwent surgery to remove kidney

stones on November 13, but was readmitted 10 days later with a urinary tract infection that required dialysis. At one point, he was moved into a hospital wing used for more intensive care.

The 74-year-old Pele, who is often called the greatest football player in history, assured fans that he had recovered in a video released on Friday that showed him smiling and strumming a guitar with family members by his side.

I was kind of scared - Phillips

“THANK God”. That was the WhatsApp message posted by Omar Phillips, the Barbados and West Indies opener, once he had regained consciousness at the Milton Kato Memorial Hospital, in Kingstown in St Vincent.

Last Friday, just before lunch during the first day’s play between Barbados and Windward Islands (in the fourth round of the WICB Professional League), Phillips, standing at the non-striker’s end, was hit on the back of his helmet from a powerful drive from his batting partner Shai Hope. Moments later Philips was lying unconscious.

He was rushed to the hospital.

Considering the incident had come in the immediate wake of Phillip Hughes’ death, there was naturally a lot of concern. But doctors, having carried out tests and scans, declared Phillips was safe and had suffered concussion.

“It has been a difficult situation for me in terms of having seen a cricketer die of a similar injury.” Phillips told ESPNCricnfo.

“So that had kind of bothered me at first.”

Phillips had no immediate recollection of the sequence of events once he lost consciousness. Till late on Friday, Phillips was not even aware how long he was unconscious. Six minutes it was, he was told later.

“I don’t really remember what happened after I got struck.

All I remember was waking up at the hospital. At that time I kept thinking about the whole Phil Hughes stuff. And I was kind of scared because you never know with a head injury how serious it could be.”

The scans came out clear and Phillips was “a lot more relieved” even if he was far away from “fully back being my normal self”. As he woke up in the hospital Phillips still had blurred vision and saw two doctors over him. He admitted he was rattled. “I

NOTABLE DATES IN his second professional fight, Elton `The Real Coolie Bully’ Dharry needed less that a full round to dispatch Stanley Childers.

The fight was held on December 8, 2006 at the Florentine Gardens in El Monte, California, USA. Strangely, it was the first fight for Childers who never fought again. Dharry moved on and was able to win both the World Boxing Council/Caribbean Boxing Federation (CABOFE) Guyana bantamweight titles.

Just last week the 29-year-old talented boxer stepped closer to securing a world title challenge, when he defeated Jose Rios to snatch the International Boxing Federation InterContinental bantamweight title.

Thirty-seven-year-old Howard Eastman was past his prime when he took on Irishman John Duddy at Kings Hall in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The fight, which ended in a points defeat for the Guyanese, was held on December 8, 2007 and Eastman was nine years Duddy’s senior. Eastman had twice made bids for world titles.

In November 2001 he lost a majority decision against William Joppy when the WBA middleweight title was at stake. Four years later a challenge of undisputed world champion Bernard Hopkins ended in a loss via unanimous decision.

Omar Phillips was very worried after he was knocked out when struck on the head. didn’t understand really what was going on at the moment.”

But Phillips is thankful to Barbados physiotherapist Jacqui King, who was constantly talking to him and trying to help him relax. “She kept in the moment. She kept by my side. Kept telling me: ‘it’s going to be all right. Gonna be all right’. She actually got me through it because if I was on my own I

probably would have panicked.”

Back in Barbados his family was on the edge. “It was a difficult time for my family. A lot of people were calling the house.

They had also seen the Phil Hughes situation, so my family was trying to call me but they could not get through me because I did not have my phone with me while the scans were being done.”

This is not the first time Phillips was hit on the head. Five years ago, in a first division match in the domestic league in Barbados, he got a “nasty blow” on the front of the helmet while fielding at short leg after the batsman pulled a short delivery straight into him. But Phillips stood up immediately and never was bothered.

Incidentally, in previous round of the Professional League against Guyana, Phillips was once again at short leg and had his right hand injured trying to fend off a straight hit into his body. Last Friday, as Hope’s bullet-like stroke came his way, Phillips raised his right hand as the first line of defence. But, a fraction later, he withdrew the hand.

“It was a lofted shot towards the on side.

Hope was looking to go over long-on and so he chipped on to the spinner. But he didn’t elevate it enough. It had a lot of power. It was well struck. I was trying to get my right hand in the way, but it came in so quickly.

Also having got struck on my hand in the previous game I tried to avoid getting hit again. The ball was heading for the helmet, but I turned my face to my left at the last moment.”

The ball stuck him at the bottom right of the rear of the helmet. Despite being hit, Phillips’ first move was to get back to safety having sensed he was out of his crease. He saw the bowler’s (left-arm spinner Alston Bobb) face and then his legs gave up and he

went unconscious.

Once the doctors, having observed him overnight, allowed him to leave Phillips went straight first to the ground to let his team-mates know he was fine before boarding a flight back home from St Vincent. The happiest person to see him was Hope. Only 21 years old, Hope, Phillips said, was very apologetic. “He kept telling me ‘sorry’ all the time. I told him he did nothing wrong. It is all part of the game.

“He was still a little nervous. The team did not know I had been cleared on Friday evening but they only came to know next morning. So they thought I was serious.”

But the Barbados team were happy to see their Ramo (Phillips’ nickname) standing back up on his legs.

Equally happy was his family in Kingston. After the doctors told him he was fine, the first person Phillips called was his mum Joann. “The words were still not clear but she was full of joy to hear me,” Phillips said. Hugh Mayers, Phillips’ father, picked him up at Barbados airport. “My family was relieved to see me in person and that I was okay.”

Considering he was diagnosed with concussion, Phillips still gets stabbing pains accompanied by dizziness at times. According to Phillips, doctors have prescribed a rehabilitation period of at least a couple of weeks. And he is not rushing back.

Phillips said he will obviously come back and play. “As I said it is not the first time I have been struck. It won’t be too hard to come back because I have done that earlier. You know the risk you are up against when you take the role to play as a cricketer or even as a sportsman. It is just a matter for me now to get back in the nets and get my mental game right.”

Jamaica easily trounce Leewards to remain on pace KINGSTON, Jamaica (CMC) – Jamaica Franchise required just half-hour on the final morning here yesterday to trounce Leeward Islands Hurricanes by four wickets and log their third victory of the new WICB Professional Cricket League.

Resuming on 160 for four needing a mere 35 runs for victory, the hosts lost both overnight batsmen before reaching their target off the first ball of the sixth over of the day, sent down by part-time bowler Devon Thomas.

Nikita Miller, on five not out, and wicketkeeper Carlton Baugh Jr, unbeaten on one, were at the crease when victory was achieved.

Opener John Campbell

David Bernard Jr added just five runs to his overnight 63 and extended his fifth wicket stand with David Bernard Jr to 89, before becoming the first of two wickets for leg-spinner Colin Hamer, who finished with two for 30.

At 185 for five, Jamaica were never in danger but Bernard, who

began the day on 33, completed his 27th first class half-century – exactly 50 – before also perishing with five runs required for victory.

He faced 97 balls in 126 minutes and counted four fours.

The defeat was the fourth on the trot for the luckless Hurricanes

who collected just three points from their outing while Jamaica grabbed 16, to move to 50 points overall.

Leewards will remain rooted to the bottom of the standings, on ten points, regardless of the outcome of the remaining matches.

Barbados snatch nerve-racking win over Windwards KINGSTOWN, St Vincent (CMC) – Barbados Pride held their nerves to pull off a nail-biting 11-run victory over Windward Islands Volcanoes and post their second straight win in the WICB Professional Cricket League here yesterday.

Staring at defeat with the Windwards on 191 for seven in pursuit of 207 for victory, Barbados grabbed three wickets in the space of eight balls to turn the game on its head at Arnos Vale, as the hosts were dismissed for 195.

Dwayne Smith, whose medium pace has been pivotal for Barbados this season, once again led the attack with three for 30 while off-spinners Ashley Nurse (2-34) and Ros-

ton Chase (2-37), along with seamer and captain Carlos Brathwaite (236), all picked up two wickets.

The experienced Andre Fletcher, batting at number four, top-scored with 65 not out – an innings which spanned 189 minutes, 162 balls and contained eight fours.

When the hosts crashed from a comfortable position of 95 for two to 134 for seven, Fletcher came to their rescue in a 57run, eighth-wicket stand with Alston Bobb which threatened to take the game away from Barbados.

Bobb, better known for his left-arm spin, scored 26 off 57 balls with four fours but was one of two wickets to fall to Chase in the space

Seamer Dwayne Smith leads the Barbados attack with three for 30. of three deliveries.

In the very next over, Smith trapped last man Kenroy Peters lbw off the first ball the batsman faced, to spark jubilant celebrations by the visiting players.

Earlier, Barbados were bowled out in their second innings for 128, after resuming the final day of the fourth round encounter on 93 for five.

Smith cracked four fours in a run-a-ball 21 but the last five wickets fell for 35 runs, with Omar Phillips unavailable after having returned home with a head injury sustained in the first innings.

Off-spinner Shane Shillingford picked up five for 46 while seamers Peters (2-25) and Mervin Mathew (2-27), claimed two wickets apiece.

The Windwards went in chase of their target, with Keddy Lesporis and first-innings century-maker Johnson Charles posting an intelligent 58 for the first wicket.

Lesporis made a

busy 45 off just 53 balls with four fours while Charles struck a four and a six in 25 off 48 deliveries.

Brathwaite got the breakthrough in the final over before lunch when he had Charles caught

by Jonathan Carter at gully, as the Windwards reached the interval at 58 for one.

Afterwards, Lesporis carried the innings, adding 20 for the second wicket with Sunil Ambris (8) but Barbados hit back, removing Ambris and Lesporis in the space of 17 runs, as the Windwards began to slip.

Five wickets in all tumbled for 39 runs to leave the hosts in a muddle until Fletcher and Bobb attempted their heroics but in vain.

Fernandes 11–8, 11-3, 11-4, 11-8 and also Nechemiyah Levans 10–12, 11–8,11–3.

Levans also went down to Kristen Gomes who won the game 7-11, 11-6, 11-13 and Madison Fernandes 11– 4, 11-8.

In the category `D’ competition Demetrius De Abreu lost to John Phang 7–11, 8–11, 1-11 and Gianni Carpenter 11–2, 3–11, 11–4, 11-9, while John Phang beat Dominic Collins 11–7, 11–8, 13-11.

Rebecca Low defeated Jael Gaskin 11–6, 11–6, 6–11, 8–11, 11-1 in a category `C’ contest, while in the same category, Maya Collins outplayed Gaskin 10–12, 11–9, 11–3, 3–11, 11–5, but lost to Makeda Harding who won the game 13-11, 8-11, 4-11, 11-9,9-11.

Anthony Islam was adjudged the Most Improved Boy, while Kristen Gomes was adjudged the winner on the distaff side.

The Most Outstanding Boy and Girl awards went to Joseph and Larissa Wiltshire.

NOTABLE DATES ANDREW `Six Head’ Lewis remained undefeated in 12 fights after knocking out American Leon Rouse in the first round on December 9, 1997.

The fight which was staged at Holiday Inn in Worcester, Massachusetts, supplied Lewis with his 11th win inside the distance. It was only the second fight for the Guyanese who became the country’s first world champion.

Also known as the `Albouystown Cyclone’ Lewis remained undefeated until his 24th bout. Coming up against challenger Ricardo `El Matador’ Mayorga of Nicaragua, the southpaw was unable to find a solution for his opponent’s rugged style and the fight was stopped at one minute eight seconds of the fifth round.

In February 2003, the former champion made one more attempt at a world title. However, Lewis was no match for WBO welterweight champion Antonio Margarito as referee Joe Cortez waved it off at two minutes and 31 seconds of the second round.

Super featherweight Gairy St Clair travelled with Lewis and engaged in an eight-round fight on December 9, 1997, the same night that Lewis defeated Rouse, and at the same venue. St Clair won a points decision over Joseph `Trouble’ Figueroa of The Bronx, USA. St Clair now resides in Australia and last fought in June 2013. He will turn 40 in February but still has many more fights left in him.

Jaguars complete third victory by innings and 60 runs Scoreboard

By Calvin Roberts (In Trinidad in association with GT&T, Wartsila and Lifetime Real Estate FOLLOWING their stranglehold on proceedings from the opening day, the Guyana Jaguars maintained same through the last four days over the Trinidad and Tobago Red Force, to record an innings and 60-run victory in their fourth round West Indies Cricket Board/Professional Cricket League fourday contest at the Queen’s Park Oval yesterday.

The home team, who like their opponents entered the fourth round with thirdround losses, resumed the final day on 58 for 4, still needing 236 to avoid an innings defeat, with Yannick Cariah on 21 and Daniel St Clair 8, courtesy of two

fours off Veerasammy Permaul the previous afternoon.

Despite the entertaining innings from Akeil Hosein and Nicholas Pooran who made 64 and 47 respectively, the visitors who kept their nerves and remained patient, wrapped up the win with ease midway the second session with dark clouds sweeping across the venue.

Scores in the match; T&T Red Force 198 and 234; Guyana Jaguars 492 for 8 declared.

Cariah was the first to go yesterday, caught at forward short-leg by Shimron Hetmyer off Permaul after adding five to his overnight total with the score on 80, followed by St Clair who picked out substitute Tagenarine Chanderpaul at backward squareleg, when he got a top edge, sweeping at Permaul, for 25.

During this time, Hosein

got three fours off Narsingh Deonarine in one over, followed by back-to-back fours through vacant midwicket off Devendra Bishoo just before the lunch break, which the Red Force took at 148 for 6 off 57 overs, with Hosein on 47 and Imran Khan 13, needing another 146 runs.

The 21-year-old Hosein got his maiden first class half-century immediately after the break and together with Khan, posted 74 valuable runs for the seventh wicket, a partnership that looked threatening until Khan was caught

by Christopher Barnwell off Bishoo for 24 (75 balls, 3x4) at 176 for 7.

It became 191 for 8, when Hosein holed out to Trevon Griffith at long on in his attempt to clear the boundary off Bishoo, having struck 10 fours in his top score of 64, leaving Pooran with Ryad Emrit and Marlon Richards as partners to save the contest.

Emrit was not equal to the task and he succumbed for 1 at 208 for 9, caught by Raymon Reifer off Permaul and despite Pooran’s deci-

Guinness ‘Greatest of De Streets’ Futsal football

Sparta Boss defeat Albouystown ‘B’ to advance to final four GOALS from Devon Millington and Sheldon Shepherd were all the undefeated Sparta Boss needed to advance to the final four of this year’s sixth annual Banks DIHsponsored Georgetown Guinness ‘Greatest of De Streets’ Futsal football tournament last Sunday night at the Demerara Park.

Following four exciting exhibition contests, the quarterfinal action kicked off with Leopold Street, Festival City Street Warriors and North Ruimveldt all advancing to the semifinals where they were later joined

by Sparta Boss.

The aforementioned trio triumphed via penalty kicks after being held to draws by their respective opponents, while the chemistry of Sparta Boss handed them regulation time goals in the final quarterfinal match of the evening.

The night’s action commenced with Leopold Street meeting West Front

Road ‘Gold is Money’ and after a 0-0 score line, the former came out on top 4-3 via sudden death penalty kicks, even as Festival City Street Warriors defeated Globe Yard 2-1 on penalty kicks, after their contest ended nil-all.

North Ruimveldt worked the ball around the playing arena well, but a defensive mindset from Globe Yard prevented any goals from being scored and for the third successive game, penalty kicks decided the winner, wherein North Ruimveldt came out on top 1-0.

The Sparta Boss lineup consists of Millington, Shepherd, Eusi ‘Boneyman’ Philips and Jerome Richardson, just to name a few and they have created a chemistry playing this category of football over the years, understanding each other’s strengths and weaknesses.

State memorial service for Hughes cancelled (REUTERS) - The state memorial service that was planned for Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes has been cancelled.

Hughes died in a Sydney hospital on November 27, two days after he was struck in the head by a ball while he was batting in a first-class state match at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

About 5 000 people attended his funeral at his home town of Macksville last week.

His funeral was shown live on Australian television while tributes took place at some of Australia’s major cricket grounds.

The New South Wales Premier Mike Baird offered the family a state memorial service but announced yesterday that Hughes’ family and Cricket Australia had decided not to proceed with it.

“All parties felt that given the enormous outpouring of support at last Wednesday’s funeral, a state memorial service would no longer need to be held,” Baird said.

Hughes’ death has rocked the cricketing world and forced the rescheduling of the series between Australia and India.

Cricket Australia will honour Hughes before the start of the rearranged first Test against India in Adelaide today.

Baird said there would also be a smaller service held at the Sydney Cricket Ground before the fourth and final Test in early January.

Stoby is Mr Flex Night 2014 … Warner, Fortune win female crowns

By Leeron Brumell DEFEATED at Mr Guyana 2014 in the Welterweight class, allegedly robbed in Barbados, Top End’s Winston Stoby shook of this year’s disappointments to take the Flex Night Incorporated 2014 overall title on Sunday night.

Shawnell Warner of Fitness Paradise won the Ms Flex Night Bikini Overall Title, while Alicia Fortune (GDF) had the Best Legs on the night.

In front of a vocal crowd at the National Cultural Centre, Stoby first took victory in the Men’s Bodybuilding Class Under-176 pounds where he faced his stiffest competition against Sylvester Andrews.

With four athletes in the class, places third and fourth were decided from the time they walked out on stage. The battle was between Stoby and Sylvester Andrews and a showdown it was! They first free-posed for one minute to their own music trying to woo the crowd, but more so the judges.

It was then time for the seven compulsory poses, showing the biceps and lats - front and back, their best side view of their chest and triceps and finally abdominals and thighs.

All eyes were fixed on Stoby and Andrews – positioned next to each other and they flexed, gritting hard and they held firm, each muscle bulging, each cut and defined.

When the results were announced, Stoby was the victor but some persons were not pleased.
