The delegation was headed by Ambassador Liu Huanxing, Special Envoy - Caribbean Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China.

In the interim, Ambassador Huanxing said China would remain committed to promoting “bilateral relations to a new high level.” Further, the Ambassador gave the undertaking that his Government will continue to provide assistance in the area of health, as they will explore other opportunities to strengthen cooperation with Guyana in this area. The two countries’ relationship is about 43 years old. One of the most important areas of cooperation has been Health as over the last 20 years, Chinese medical missions have been visiting Guyana to supplement local health care services. In addition, the construction of the Guyana International Conference Centre, recently renamed the Arthur Chung Convention Centre, and the sugar factory at Skeldon, are examples of tangible support as a result of the Guyana/China partnership.
Pregnant 15-year-old Essequibo lass attempts macabre suicide - tries to kill foetus with knife
A 15-year-old Essequibo lass of the Onderneeming Housing Scheme, being five months’ pregnant, was admitted to the Suddie Hospital on Saturday after she tried to punch the unborn baby in her womb with a knife in a macabre attempt at suicide. Reports are that this teenager had to be constantly monitored by doctors and nurses while she was in the hospital. She has now been discharged from the health institution, but several residents of the Onderneeming Red Village are calling for pastors to pray and talk to the frustrated teenager, who still has to be closely monitored by relatives.

Young man ingests gramoxone in suicide attempt - in Essequibo
A 22-year-old man on the Essequibo Coast drank a quantity of gramoxone in an attempt to commit suicide on Saturday last, allegedly because he was beset with personal problems. He was rushed to the Suddie hospital where he has since been admitted a patient, and is seriously battling for his life. The grass killer poison has reportedly registered serious damage to the young man’s lips and mouth. Several residents of Region Two are calling for the adoption of urgent measures to stop the selling of pesticides freely on the market, especially to young people; and for implementation of programmes to educate young people against the scourge of suicide.

PM Nagamootoo says…
Yoga presents another avenue to ‘tackle scourges’ - proven beneficial in solving inner social problems such as suicidal thoughts, depression, stress and violence By Shivanie Sugrim
to become an integral part of their lives. The Indian High Commissioner to Guyana, Mr V. Mahalingham, indicated that India is proud that the United Nations has approved the proposal of India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi to establish the ‘International Day of Yoga’. In today’s world, he said, many follow the path of violence. As such, yoga plays a dominant role in helping persons to eradicate negative thoughts that would lead to destruction.
IN collaboration with the Brahma Kumaris, the High Commission of India on Sunday observed its first ever ‘International Day of Yoga’. The aim has been to promote the ancient Indian art of Yoga, which has been in silent existence for decades. The International Day of Yoga was staged at the Kalyan Shopping Plaza on Lamaha Street, and leading personalities such as Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo and Mr. V. Mahalingham, High Commissioner of India to Guyana, were among those attendees to the event who voiced their perspectives on the benefits of practising yoga. In delivering remarks on behalf of President David Granger and himself, the Prime Minister said yoga is another avenue used to tackle scourges, and has been proven beneficial in solving inner social problems, such as suicidal thoughts, depression, stress and violence, among other maladies. “Today, the world has rec- Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo lighting the lamp before commencement of ognised yoga as a mechanism the Yoga event on Sunday.

On December 11th, 2014, the 193-member United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) approved the proposal of Prime Minister Modi of India by consensus, with a record of 177 co-sponsoring countries. This served to establish the 21st June as the ‘International Day of Yoga’. The International Day of Yoga has been celebrated in more than 190 countries by the Indian High Commissions/Embassies/Consulates, in collaboration with various institutions. It was also celebrated at the Multipurpose Centre, Perry Bay, St. John’s in Antigua and Barbuda; and at the Tiranga Restaurant, Royal St. Kitts Hotel, Frigate Bay in St. Kitts. The Indian High Commission in Georgetown and the local Brahma Kumaris collaborated with other entities to host the event on Sunday in all three counties of Guyana, in St. Kitts, and in Antigua and Barbuda. The event was a resounding success.
Guyana’s Former First Lady Mrs Deolatchmee Ramotar, and Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo in conversation at the event (Samuel Maughn photos) Yoga has become one of the world’s favourite holistic health practices, and one of the most practised forms of exercise and therapy. Globally, millions of persons practise some form of yoga in their quest for holistic health. Swami Vivekananda is credited for introducing and creating a special place for yoga in the hearts of global citizens. He has penned books on all four forms of yoga: Karma Yoga (Yoga of Action), Jnana Yoga (Yoga of Knowledge), Raja Yoga (Yoga of Meditation) and Bhakti Yoga (Yoga of devotion). The ancient art and science of yoga has been practised for decades. Its origin can be traced to the Vedas written in Sanskrit language. The practise of yoga leads to the union of individual and universal consciousness. It offers immense benefits in uniting the body, mind and breath.

Finance Ministry fraudsters sentenced to three years’ jail
– have other fraud matters pending By Clestine Juan NIGEL Adams, a driver of 21 Ogle, East Coast Demerara; and Gary Emanuel Dundas, a 49-year-old technician of Lot 432 West Ruimveldt, Georgetown, accused of embezzling millions from the Ministry of Finance, were yesterday in tears after being found guilty as charged by Magistrate Leron Dailey at the Providence Magistrate’s Court. They were each sentenced to three years’ imprisonment; and they still have several other similar matters pending in court. The men were convicted on a charge which detailed that between January 1 and 20, 2011, at the Accountant
General’s Department of the Ministry of Finance, they conspired with a person or persons unknown to steal $2.4M, property of the State of Guyana. The magistrate explained that she found the alleged charge of embezzling money inconclusive because the men were not employed as clerk or servant to the said ministry. However, she said a case of simple larceny had been made out by Police Prosecutor Inspector Michael Grant. During the trial, six witnesses were called to give testimony, including Colleen Easton (Adams’s motherin-law) who was in 2014 sentenced to 36 months’ imprisonment by City Magistrate Judy Latchman for conspiracy to commit a felony
offence. In Easton’s testimony, she explained that she had been given a cheque by the men, and taken by them to the Finance Ministry, where they had caused her to uplift a cheque for $2,892,000 which she took from the Bank of Guyana and gave to Adams afterwards. The men’s attorney had urged the court to consider the ownership of the money, citing that it had no owner. But the Magistrate, in her ruling, explained that the money was already owned by Guyana, which is why the case of larceny had been made out, since the money belongs to another. The men are currently on trial on several other charges stemming from a fraud at the Accountant General’s Department. They will return at the Providence Court on August 12 to continue trail on the other pending matters.

Police rank critical, wife killed in road accident By Leroy Smith ODESSA Howard, a 3 7 - y e a r- o l d h o u s e w i f e and mother of five and resident of Canal No. 1, West Bank Demerara, was on Sunday evening pronounced dead on arrival at the West Demerara Regional Hospital; whilst her husband Peter Howard, a police rank attached to Police Headquarters at Eve Leary, was admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital in a serious condition following an accident on the Nismes Public Road. Peter Howard was driving a motor cycle with Odessa as his pillion rider when a car struck them from behind. The impact reportedly caused Odessa to be flung into the air, and upon landing on the road, she broke her neck; while Peter suffered other injuries. It is not clear if the two were wearing any helmet at the time of the accident, which occurred at approximately 19:00hrs. Speaking with the Chronicle at the La Grange Police Station, West Bank Demerara yesterday afternoon, the dead woman’s brother, Quamie Chandler, explained that his sister and her husband had left home to visit a gas station
to purchase snacks to place in the lunch bags for their children to take to school on Monday, and were returning home when the tragedy occurred. He said that up to late yesterday, his brother-inlaw was in the Intensive Care Unit of the Georgetown Public Hospital and his condition was listed as a 50/50 chance. The Guyana Police Force sent out a media release yesterday about the accident, but failed to include the fact that the rider

At the police station, the motorcycle that the couple was on proved that they were indeed struck from behind, as the rear of the motorcycle, CH 4855, showed extensive damage.

Two found dead in submerged car
– teen driver missing – reportedly stole car, took friends on spree By Leroy Smith THE bodies of Premraj Bhola, 20 years, and Aleem Sulaman, 19 years, both of Belle West, Canal No. 2 Polder, West Bank Demerara were yesterday morning found trapped in a Toyota Fielder wagon after the submerged vehicle was pulled from the main canal in the area. And up to late last evening residents and family members of 19-year-old Ganesh Sookchran of 788 Belle West, were searching for his body in the same canal where it is believed that he might have drowned. Sookchran took the keys to the wagon which his father had rented, while family members were asleep, and he picked up the other two youths and they went on a drinking spree. Speaking with the Chronicle from her home yesterday, Premraj’s mother, Sabeta Bhola, said she last saw her son at approximately 23:30 hrs on Sunday as he was leaving the house. The woman recalled that her son, who works as a mason in the community, told her that he was “going on the road” and that is all she knew until yesterday morning when she received a message that he was involved in an accident and she needed to take him to the hospital. The young man lived

with his grandmother in the lower flat of a two-storey house while his mother lives upstairs. Sabeta said when she arrived at the scene she saw a large crowd and a hearse as well as the bodies of her son and his friend who lived a few doors away.
She also recalled seeing police officers and residents who showed up upon hearing that the bodies of two young men were pulled from a vehicle in the canal. Salomie Bhola, mother of Sulaman, said she last saw her son at 21:30 hrs
on Sunday when he told her that he was going on the road to return shortly. The woman said that after sometime had passed her husband went on the road to get something and recalled seeing Sulaman and Bhola imbibing on the roadside

and she later called him to ask him what time he was coming home and he replied “just now.” The woman said that she and Sulaman were out earlier with her daughter and husband and after they returned home, her son said he was heading on the road to return. According to Bhola, her last call to her son was sometime before midnight when she was getting ready to go to bed. Again the young man answered and told her that he was coming home shortly. H o w e v e r, y e s t e r d a y morning she woke up and found that he was not at home but was not alarmed since sometimes he sleeps at his friends. The woman said she took her daughter to school and intended to check whether her son was at his friends. In the meantime, she received a call from her niece stating that her son was dead. The grieving mother said she found it hard to believe at first but was told that he was involved in an accident and when she rushed over to her niece and went to the scene her worst fears were confirmed. The other person to speak with this publication was Kumarie Mossai, the mother of Sookchran, who up to last evening was still missing. She said that she last saw her son on Sun-
day evening and he was at home. The woman said her son operates a wash bay at their home and apparently when they retired to bed he stole the keys to a car his stepfather had rented and decided to go on a joy ride. Persons in the area said the young man normally drives the cars that are brought to his wash bay for cleaning. According to her, when they woke up yesterday morning they saw the door to the house open and the young man was not around. She said that shortly after persons kept coming to her home and calling to find out where her son was since they knew that the car which was involved in the accident was being used by his stepfather. She said that she was then invited to the scene after persons told her that the car was involved in an accident. She said that when she got there she saw the bodies of the other two young men but her son was not in sight. Persons were seen yesterday afternoon diving in the canal looking for the young man as the undertakers with a hearse were on standby. However, some persons were speculating that he may have exited the sinking car and fled the scene after realising the extent of his troubles.

EDITORIAL ZONING LAWS THE plague of non-adherence to zoning laws has become a sore on Guyana’s social landscape and has led to a breakdown of many norms and conventions that once guided the standards and the quality of existence of residents of communities. The level and quality of physical and social infrastructure within an urban area are among indicators used to assess the economic prosperity of cities or towns and the nation as a whole. And while infrastructure has played a major role in enhancing the economic wellbeing of Guyana, deviations from zoning laws have posed significant social and environmental threats to citizens. It is also a significant diagnosis of extant infrastruc-
tural and environmental regression in the existential synergies causing impediments to peace and quietude in the lives of citizens. Also relevant is the observation that one of the concerns in the social spectrum is the issue of commercial enterprises that are not adhering to zoning laws. The unabated deviation from zoning laws is not a recent development, but has become inherent to the ‘new normal of lawlessness’ pervading the society, and it is true that in traditional residential areas, as well as the new housing schemes, those deviations have been spiraling out of control. As such, the recent contention of Public Infrastructure Minister, Mr David Paterson, that improper solid waste management and the
emission of hazardous gases from companies not complicit with zoning laws, are but only two of the indicators of their contribution to environmental threats to citizens, and merely touch on the periphery of the issue. Without much redress, citizens have long been complaining of the very many transgressions of persons or business houses against the environment that cause distress to occupants of neighbouring homes. Not least of this is the noise pollution. Churches are ironically some of the worst offenders, while private parties, including income-generating Bar-BQues and fish fries on a very regular basis have proliferated to such an extent that they have become an established event in communities
countrywide. Then there is the escalation of beer gardens in communities not initially plotted to include these safe havens for the idle and the lawless. These activities have contributed much to violence in homes and communities, because inebriated persons pick senseless fights with each other, with resultant violent episodes that sometimes lead to tragic consequences, even murder, with all its attendant outcomes. Another fallout of these lawless events is the disturbance they cause to law-abiding citizens who cannot pursue their normal activities, such as students studying, residents listening to their television sets or music, or even having
GUYANA
a simple conversation in peace. Babies are not allowed to sleep because of the high decibels at which cacophonous and most often very lewd music is played. The aged and the ill are also victims, as well as the animals who are often scared and suffer without being able to articulate their objections, so they are the silent victims of the transgressors of zoning laws. So the initiative being embarked upon by Public Infrastructure Minister David Patterson to re-examine the zoning laws which currently exist, that were formulated in
1946 without amendments since, it is imperative to address a seemingly unmanageable and escalating social malady, especially in light of the evident nonconformity with them over the years. The Minister’s affirmation to this newspaper that there will be a comprehensive review of the laws that will seek to aid in the long-term survival of the country provides hope that this long-ongoing social malady will soon be reversed and eventually come to a halt, providing much relief to the law-abiding citizens of the land.
PPP to be no-show at National Assembly on Thursday – says Rohee THE Opposition People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) will not be participating in the National Assembly on Thursday to debate the speech delivered by President David Granger two weeks ago at the commencement of the 11th Parliament. PPP General Secretary, Clement Rohee, told reporters yesterday that his party views the debate “as a charade by the GECOM (Guyana Elections Commission) engineered parliamentary majority to lend legitimacy to its creation and to help foster an ambience of cooperation in Parliament at a time when PPP/C leaders, members and supporters are under daily attack and made to suffer deprivation of their basic human, political and civil rights.” Going back in time, Rohee said the PPP/C would be the first to concede that while it formed the Government between October 1992 and May 2015, debates on Presidential speeches inaugurating Parliament “did take place in the National Assembly.”
President David Granger
He noted that this time however, “the debate would be taking place against the backdrop of a GECOM rigged elections and the composition of a Parliament which does not reflect the will of the Guyanese electorate.” “In any event, a brief perusal of Granger’s speech slated for debate would show that it is full with platitudes and back-sliding on AP-

NU+AFC (A Partnership for National Unity and the Alliance For Change) election campaign promises that makes the Cummingsburg Accord look like a tattered and useless document,” Rohee said. PRESIDENT GRANGER’S SPEECH President Granger, in his
much anticipated address at the ceremonial opening of the 11th Parliament on June 10th, extended an outreached hand to all stakeholders in Guyana to put past differences aside to work together for the good of all the people of this beautiful country of ours. The President reiterated his invitation to the Opposition PPP/C to take up their seats in the National Assembly. “Let us put the hostility of the hustings behind us… Let us eschew the rancour of the campaign and the rhetoric of rivalry. Let us look to the future with hope, determined to do only what is best for the Guyanese people now and for generations to come,” the President said. “Let us reinforce the foundation of our nation by working together for the common good. We are the National Assembly, not a political party rally,” he added in his call for peace and reconciliation and for consensual approaches to development. “We shall, in pursuit of
the common good, build bridges across chasms. We therefore renew our invitation to the People’s Progressive Party to join A Partnership for National Unity and the Alliance For Change in this honourable House to serve the people. Thousands of Guyanese, a month ago, believed that they elected us to craft a collaborative approach to confront the challenges facing our country. “This is the time for collaboration, not confrontation. This is the place - the halls of the National Assembly, where we will conduct the great debate on Guyana’s future. This is the time for all Guyanese - from the hinterland to the coastland; from the Aruka to Achewib - to come together,” the President posited. Rapprochement between Government and Opposition so that cordial relations could be established between the leaders of the land is in keeping with the expressed wishes of President Granger, who stressed the need for unity in joint initiatives to
move the country forward so as to achieve the optimum possibilities for development in the nation and the upward mobility of the Guyanese people – individually and collectively. To the members of his Government, he adjured: “Those of us who were elected have work to do. We have a responsibility to represent the people. We have an obligation to speak for them. We have a duty to serve their interests. They have put their trust in us. That is why we are here.” The Head-of-State promised his commitment to be President of all the people as he explained, “When we last met, I was sitting among you as Leader of the Opposition. I lost my seat! I stand before you today, not merely as Leader of a Party, or of a partnership, or of a coalition, but of the entire nation. I am leader of an Administration that is committed to doing the greatest good for the greatest number of Guyanese.”

Region One’s water woes highlighted
PSC Members meet with Business Minister
– previous Administration blamed for not finding permanent solution
A Partnership for National Unity + Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) Member of Parliament (MP), Richard Allen wants reliable and safe drinking water to be on the list of priorities of the new Administration for Region One (Barima-Waini). Speaking with the Government Information Agency (GINA) on Saturday, prior to attending a community meeting in Baramita, Region One, that was addressed by Minister of Indigenous People’s Affairs Sydney Allicock, Allen pointed his finger at the previous Administration for failing to provide a permanent solution to address the issue. “Over the years, no form of attention was paid to water woes in Matarkai sub-region and Region One as a whole,” Allen said. He said, too, that “nowhere in this Region can we say, ‘yes, we have potable water’,” despite the fact that the Region’s water woes have been highlighted and were public knowledge for
some time. “In Baramita here, when the rain does not fall, it is problems for people to get water and the Administration had known that…we have a new Government in place, I am trusting that our ministers, after visiting the region for themselves and seeing the conditions under which residents are living, will be able to put systems in place to improve such,” he said. He noted that, “if we do not have a healthy nation, it is as if we do not have a nation,” and water is most important for such conditions to take place. “Now at Port Kaituma, remember two years ago, when we had the issue of 1000 persons, who had to be treated because of poor sanitation and water, and with all of that the officers, sat by and received taxpayers money, every month and did nothing to improve the system,” Allen said. “We are going to be taking this matter up very seriously and I know the President and his team and us will
work…we are saying, we are going to put it right, we are going to ensure that there is potable water for residents,” he said. Improvement to the Region’s road network also needs urgent addressing. Allen told GINA that it took him and team almost nine hours to travel from Port Kaituma to get to Baramita for the meeting. Allen said the Public Health Minister is aware of health issues, as he visited the Region in April (during the campaign season) and heard the complaints, as well as President David Granger when he visited in February and learnt about the shortcomings of the education system. “So our officers have forearmed knowledge, because they have actually walked the ground and spoken with residents, so they know some of the concerns and we will be taking them up so the lives of people will be enhanced to a better standard,” Allen posited.
‘We will pay’, Rohee says about PPP/C debts from elections campaign ads – but couldn’t say when By Rebecca Ganesh “We will pay,” says General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) Clement Rohee, referring to outstanding debts for advertisements during the 2015 General and Regional elections campaign. The PPP General Secretary was asked to respond to the issue of the debts owed to various entities at his weekly press conference at Freedom House and he asserted that the Party will pay all of its outstanding debts for advertisements from the 2015 General and Regional Elections campaign. “We will pay,” he stated when asked for a
timeframe on the payment. This newspaper on Sunday reported that the PPP/C owes over $13M to the National Communications Network (NCN) for political advertisements aired by the state-owned media entity. Reports indicated that since May 27, NCN’s Marketing Manager, Raymond Azeez, had written to the Party with a reminder that the monies were owed but to date the PPP/C is yet to respond. The PPP/C also owes the Chronicle more than $5M for campaign ads published. OWES SEVERAL ENTITIES Rohee, during his explanation, noted that the Party
owes several entities sums of money for advertisements during the campaign season. He made it clear that the PPP/C is aware of its outstanding financial debts and that it intends to honour these debts but he could not state when the PPP/C would pay up. In May, it was reported that the Guyana Water Inc. (GWI) and an advertising company were at variance over payments for PPP/C political billboards that were billed to the state company. When the bills, which amounted to some $7M, were forwarded to GWI, the company refused to accept responsibility for the amount, citing some grave modifications to specific designs that had been agreed upon by both sides.
Minister of Business Dominic Gaskin addressing members of the Private Sector Commission (PSC) during the meeting
MINISTER of Business, Dominic Gaskin, yesterday met with members of the Private Sector Commission (PSC), at the Ministry’s boardroom (formerly Ministry of Tourism) on South Road, Georgetown. The meeting, initiated by the PSC, was aimed at familiarising the Commission’s members with the new Minister, as well as allowing them to have a better understanding of the Ministry’s plans. According to Chairman of the PSC, Ramesh Persaud,
the private sector welcomes the new Ministry as an independent body. He said there may be some new concepts and ideas as against the existing ones which were under the former Ministry of Tourism Industry and Commerce. He added that it was a great pleasure for the Commission Members to be given the opportunity to interact with the Minister, and at the same time be able to put forward new ideas and discuss areas of progress for the future of the business sector. Meanwhile, Minister
Gaskin welcomed the meeting and expressed gratitude to the PSC for reaching out to him. He added that since the Business Ministry will be housing several units and agencies, it is important that the private sector community become acquainted with the plans, and highlight the areas where they would like to see changes and or improvements. This will in turn allow for a greater level of progress for the business and investment sectors.
Two East Coast cops put on bail over bribery charges By Geeta Rampersaud TWO policemen charged with corruptly receiving a bribe made their appearance yesterday before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry. Fifty-one-year old Sergeant Collin Bailey of Lot 63 South Vryheid’s Lust, East Coast Demerara and twenty-nine-year-old Paul Paddy of Cane Grove, East Coast Demerara, both appeared before the court and were placed on $100,000 bail each. Both officers denied a joint charge that said on May 7, at Vigilance, East Coast Demerara, while they were employed as agents of the Government at the Vigilance Police Station, they corruptly collected $300,000 as inducement for the release of a prisoner, Kissoondat Premsook. Bailey was charged separately with an offence that said on June 15 at Vigilance, East Coast Demerara, he received from Premsook $50,000
Policemen Paul Paddy and Collin Bailey in court yesterday
as an inducement for not charging him. The duo was represented by attorney-at-law Jerome Khan. He told the court that his clients were innocent of the allegations, and contended that it was a trap and there was no foundation for the charges. Khan requested that both policemen be placed on their own recognisance, urging the court that both men had fully co-operated with the police during the
investigations. Meanwhile, police prosecutor Bharat Mangru having mentioned that both ranks are serving members of the Guyana Police Force also did not object to self-bail. However, they were asked to lodge their passports. Bailey was placed on a total of $200,000 bail and Paddy was placed on $100,000 bail. The matter was transferred to Vigilance Magistrate’s Court for July 9.

Nandy Park fatal shooting…
Police receive names of likely suspects – infant son stable, mother reportedly out of danger By Leroy Smith SOURCES from the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation and at least one relative have confirmed that 18-month-old Travis Rudder Jnr. who was shot five times early Sunday morning is still in the theatre but is alive and in a stable condition. Police sources yesterday indicated that they have already received names of persons who may have had something to do with the execution-style shooting of Travis Rudder, a miner of Lindley Avenue, Nandy Park, East Bank Demerara. Locating the suspects should not be difficult since from all indications they are all persons who have been of interest to the police. Sources outside the Police Force have also suggested that one man who was recently freed of a murder charge could be one of the suspects since he is said to be associated with the dead man.

the mother of Travis Rudder Snr., who was gunned down execution-style in his bed, was upset at media reports that her son was found not guilty of the murder of his then 14-year-old girlfriend Donnis King in 2011. The woman spoke of
The wheelbarrow and walker which was used to mount the gunman to the window in the background
a period when someone tossed a Molotov cocktail at her house and shot-up her car. She said those things were never covered by the media but they are now seeking to bring up an ‘old’ story. On Sunday a gunman
elevated himself on an old wheelbarrow and walker and fired shots through a bedroom window where Rudder, his son and girlfriend were sleeping on a bed. The dead man’s mother was sleeping in another
room of the one-flat house at the time of the incident which took place just after 01.30 hrs. The police were able to recover twenty-four 9mm spent shells from the scene of the shooting after combing the area for clues.
Mahaica granny bound, gagged and robbed By Leroy Smith A PENSIONER of Unity, Mahaica, East Coast Demerara is grateful to be still alive after she was tied up in her home, had cloth stuffed in her mouth, and robbed of $5,000 by a man from the same village. The Chronicle understands that the suspect Zahir Mohamed was subsequently arrested. According to reports, he went to
the small shop which the woman operates and requested cigarettes but when she turned to get them he forced his way in and became a bandit rather than a customer. The woman managed to raise an alarm and the police responded to her calls, resulting in the arrest of the suspect. Meanwhile, according to reports the man may also be able to assist the police in solving the murder of a pensioner of the same
village who had been tied up, gagged and robbed in her home before being killed. That woman operated a shop and was also a pensioner. On May 23, 2015 the body of Chandroutie Persaud, 68 years, of Lot 46 River View Squatting area, Mahaica, East Coast Demerara was found in her bed with her hands tied behind her back and a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth.
The woman was at the time living with her sickly husband but in a separate section of the house. At that time, residents had indicated to this newspaper that the woman was last seen on the night before her body was discovered and she was going into her home. Her son in an interview had stated that his mother might have been murdered by someone from the community, who may have been familiar with her movements.
In recent times, there have been a number of cases where pensioners, particularly women, were found dead in their homes with their hands bound and in other cases cloth was stuffed into their mouth. Some were found semi-nude while others were battered. The police, however, did make some arrests in a few cases while others are still under investigation.

GSPCA investing $500,000 for animal welfare awareness
– in primary schools By Shivanie Sugrim THE Guyana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA) is investing $500,000 from a recently received donation to raise awareness on animal welfare, targeting primary schools across Guyana. The donation was received from Guyanese investor and mining executive, Dean Hassan, CEO of Tesouro Resources. President of the GSPCA, Oliver Insanally, said that awareness on animal welfare has always been high on the society’s agenda and the recent donation will be used to boost the delivery of this long-awaited project, which is expected to commence in the September school term. “We would like to improve our efforts at aware-
ness and education but we are constrained by volunteers, but nevertheless, we have plans in place to work with primary schools to teach the basics of animal welfare and introducing ways on how to interact with animals,” said Insanally. The reason behind such a project, said Insanally, is to spread awareness on the ills of harming animals, especially stray dogs and cats on the road. Insanally added that the root cause of such acts carried out by children comes from exposure to violence in homes and communities. Recent statistics have indicated that Guyana is listed among 20 other countries with the highest murder rate. Ranked as number 15, the country has recorded 20.2 murders per 100,000 people
with 49% killed by firearms. Insanally referred to the statistics, noting that children are often eyewitnesses to violence in homes and their communities, especially in rural areas. This project, he explained, will aim directly at eliminating thoughts of violence by interacting with the children, especially those who display signs of violence by releasing their anger on helpless animals. However, Insanally also noted that the funds will not only be allocated for awareness and education efforts but also for the society’s spay and neutering programme which is geared at reducing the number of unwanted animal pregnancies, and the consequent proliferation of strays. “The GSPCA is especially proud of the spay and neuter programme. Since its inception we have spayed and neutered hundreds of stray dogs free of cost which

Judge to rule on no-case submissions in septic tank murder trial
By George Barclay
PRESIDING Judge, Justice Roxane George, who has heard no-case submissions relative to the three accused in the septic tank murder trial, is expected to rule on defence no-case submissions today. The accused will either be freed at this stage if they are successful, or if not they will be told that a case has been made out against them and the court will call on them for a defence. The accused are Ralph Tyndal, also called ‘Nick’, Anthony De Paul Hope, called ‘Papa’ and Kevin O’ Neil. They are charged with the murder of Colleen Forrester between the 27th of De-
cember 2007 and the 6th of January, 2008, in the county of Demerara. Representing the accused are Attorneys-at-Law George Thomas, Madan Kissoon and Melvin Duke. Conducting the case for the prosecution are Diana Kaulesar, Stacy Goodings and Shawnette Austin. At the close of the prosecution’s case, the defence lawyers chose to make no-case submissions, in the absence of the jury. The mixed jury is trying to determine whether or not the accused are the ones responsible for the death of Colleen Forrester whose body was retrieved from a septic tank at 55 William Street, Campbellville. The hearing is continuing.
The Guyana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA), located at 65 Robb Street and Orange Walk, Georgetown
required significant amounts of fundraising activities,” said Insanally. Recently, the Georgetown Mayor and City Council (M&CC) indicated that they are concerned about the free roaming of horses and cows on the roads that is allowed
by the animal owners. In this regard, Insanally said that quite a while the society has been dealing with this issue for a more “holistic” view. He stated that the society has been throwing their support towards this issue but because of volunteer
constraints, many projects have been halted. However, with the donation made by Hassan, Insanally promises that the society will be able to carry out long-awaited projects and continue with works that had to be halted.
Berbice cane harvester hangs self on Father’s Day – after stabbing wife, torching house By Leroy Smith A COUPLE’S estrangement over three weeks ago became more tragic on Father’s Day when the man attacked his wife and other family members and burnt their house down before hanging himself from a guava tree at No. 7 Village, West Coast Berbice. Dead is Nandlall Ragnauth, 48 years, a cane harvester of Edinburgh, East Bank Berbice, who has been described as an abusive man to his 28-year-old wife Hushmanie Rasheed who sustained a stab wound below her breast in the attack before he set the house afire. According to reports, the man attempted to kill the woman but was restrained by her relatives, including her 21-year-old brother Devanand Tuldas, and another family friend who was identified as Bharat Narine, a 34-year-old fisherman of
No. 2 Village, West Coast Berbice. The Chronicle was told yesterday that the man and his wife who lived at Edinburgh, East Bank Berbice encountered domestic issues three weeks ago and the woman moved out and returned to her family’s home at No.7 Village. On Sunday evening, the woman and her family were having a Father’s Day get-together when they observed the man at the premises with a knife in hand. He forced his way into the house and attacked his wife but was restrained. The man then set fire to the house and it was burnt down. The police yesterday, in a statement, confirmed the incident, stating that it occurred at approximately 20.50 hrs on Sunday evening. The man’s body was retrieved from the guava tree and taken to the Fort Wel-

‘See beyond obligation, commit to continue working towards building this country’ – Dr Roopnaraine tells Nations University MBA Graduating Class “GRADUATIONS are events for celebration, the recognition of dreams fulfilled and hopes renewed. Graduations are milestones of achievement and markers of growth, not just in the lives of the individual graduates, but of the institutions through which they graduate,” said Minister of Education, Dr Rupert Roopnaraine. Dr Roopnaraine was at the time addressing the 3rd batch of Master of Business Administration (MBA) students to graduate from Nations University. More than 70 persons representing a wide cross section of the Guyanese business community, including senior personnel from Government ministries, GuySuCo, Barama, Guyana Elections Commission, CARICOM, and the Guyana Revenue Authority. Sole entrepreneurs and representatives of a range of private agencies also pursued studies and have successfully graduated on Saturday, June 20, 2015 at the Pegasus Hotel. Dr Roopnaraine, in his remarks, pointed to a World Bank report which stated that Guyana has the highest rate of migration of tertiary or university graduates in the world, adding that “like other countries in the Caribbean, we are at the bottom of the hemispherical pile in terms of the number of citizens between the ages of 18 and 30 who are enrolled in higher education.” The minister said there is no area of our economic and social development in which a functioning, innovative education system is not simply just necessary but absolutely critical. “Our national development is underpinned by our education system. Our cohesiveness as a society is underpinned by our education system. Our ability to truly become ‘One People, One Nation, One Destiny’ is underpinned by our education system.” Policy decisions would have to be taken to facilitate the
transformation of the education sector and improve facilities for both teachers and students. The minister said he has taken office for about one month and he is still in the process of both reviewing existing systems to get a sense of a credible baseline from which to launch our policy, as well as incorporating the functions formerly executed under the aegis of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport.
Education Minister Dr Rupert Roopnaraine speaking at the graduation ceremony
On that note he used the opportunity to state his ambition for the sector, which is that students have a more rounded educational experience that includes better counselling and extra-curricular programmes in schools; better monitoring and evaluation of programmes to ensure that they achieve their objectives; and the introduction of civics perhaps as part of the formal education curriculum. This, however, calls for a more systematic approach. The Minister said that in the current global environment, there must be a transition from ‘ad hoc programmes’ to a ‘policy environment’ that systematically links public sector initiatives to private sector programmes and international accreditation. The minister challenged the graduates to see beyond the obligations to their places of employment and commit to continue working towards building this country together. He said, “work with us so this nation can grow and benefit you as well. Whether you’re in the public sector or the private sector, you function within the same particular ecosystem.” “I can think of few things more illustrative of exemplary character than using your education for the greater good of your community and country. And, from the perspective of a society, of this country, every graduation ceremony is a sign that we are strengthening our people for the many challenges and the opportunities that the future will be sure to present us, that we are gathering momentum to leap ahead and leave the menace of catastrophe far behind us.” Dr Rupert Roopnaraine posited. The minister assured the University that the Ministry of Education considers the School a strong partner in the delivery of education in this country. The 3rd Annual Graduation Ceremony of the MBA programme is offered by Australian Institute of Business in collaboration with Nations University, Guyana.

Realising he could not outlive his 76-year jail sentence…
Convicted wife killer chose suicide - hangs self in prison cell
By Jeune Bailey Vankeric JUST after he was sentenced to 76-years imprisonment by Justice Navindra Singh, convicted murderer Ramesh Muniram, looked at his mother and urged her not to cry. In October 2013, Muniram was found guilty of slaying his wife, Sunita August, on January 14, 2010 in the koker at Nismes, West Bank Demerara. It has been less than two years since the sentence had been imposed. Last Sunday, as the world celeRamesh Muniram brated Father ’s Day the wife killer felt his time on earth was nearing its end. He had moments earlier attended a church service, held within the walls of the New Amsterdam Prison, where he reminisced upon his four children - Rahool, who lives in Suriname, Reshonie who lives with his mother (her grandmother), along with Jenita and Kevin, whose mother he murdered. Moments after, he went to his prison cell, tore his sheet, twisted several stripped pieces together, barricaded with another piece, before mounting on bucket, suspending himself and kicking the bucket away. His lifeless body was discovered by an inmate moments later. His mother Kimawattie Ragubeer, got the message, whilst she was at her Unity Street, La Grange home, West Bank Demerara. She travelled to New Amsterdam, where she met with prison authorities, before her accom-
panying relatives made arrangements with the police to conduct the post mortem, schedule for Wednesday. This reporter caught up with the 56-year-old woman during her second trip to the Ancient County. Her first trip was to visit her son, after he was transferred to the Berbice penitentiary in April last. During that visit, the distraught woman recalled her son saying, “Mammy, you must not cry. Me punish enough. Me nah able nah more. Mammy, me can’t live fuh serve 76 years”. “He does always tell me nah walk bare footed as I am sickly and that I must take care of his daughter, but her mother who lives in Suriname, will be coming for her shortly. You know, he usually tell me he nah able but me dos not tek he on. I did not believe he would have killed himself. But, I know he did it.” In the meanwhile, Ms Ragubeer noted that since her son’s sentence, she had paid a lawyer $200,000 in order to file an appeal. Now, with her son’s untimely death, she is questioning whether that sum could be recovered. Meanwhile, at the conclusion of the murder trial, Justice Singh at the Demerara Assizes informed the convict that since the Judiciary can now impose an alternative to the death penalty for murder, he would be sentenced to 60 years for murder, an additional five years because he premeditated to kill his wife, five more years because he proceeded with such brutality and six years for the domestic violence involved in the matter. According to the State, Muniram who is formerly of Lot 5 Vauxhall, Canal Number 1 Polder, West Bank Demerara, poisoned his wife before strangling her to death. Details of the case revealed that Muniram’s wife ingested a poisonous substance concealed in a Pepsi bottle which he had given to her. As the poison took effect, the woman fell into a nearby canal. Muniram went after her, choked her until she was lifeless and then hid her body under stuff in the canal.
Muniram, in an unsworn statement from the dock, noted that he and his wife had just finished having sexual intercourse, when she decided to go to a koker at Nismes canal to bathe. The man told the court that his wife fell into the koker and in an attempt to save her, he went for a piece of stick, since he could not swim but when he returned he could not find her.
Kimwattie Ragubeer An autopsy report prepared by Government Pathologist Nehaul Singh revealed that the woman died from asphyxiation due to drowning. It was noted that the deceased body bore compressed injuries to the neck. Meanwhile, Maniram - who also leaves to mourn an identical twin brother, will be buried at his home town, later in the week.
Soldier to stand trial for ‘accidental’ shooting death at D’Andrade Street GUYANA Defence Force (GDF) member Alistair Woolford was yesterday committed to stand trial at the next sitting of the Demerara Assizes on a manslaughter charge. A prima facie case has been made out against him by Magistrate Judy Latchman for the offence that said on November 21, at D’Andrade Street in Kitty, Georgetown he unlawfully killed 20-year-old electrician Devon
Howell. Howell was hospitalised after a shooting incident and Woolford was charged with attempted murder, which alleged that on November 21, at D’Andrade Street, he discharged a loaded firearm with intent to murder Howell. However, after Howell succumbed to the injuries the charge was withdrawn against Woolford and he was later
charged with manslaughter. Woolford was denied bail on his first appearance in court and was granted $400,000 bail during the Preliminary Inquiry (PI). When asked by Magistrate Latchman if he had anything to say, Woolford said, “I had no intention of shooting Devon. I didn’t know the firearm had in rounds in it. It was an accident.” (Geeta Rampersaud)

CGX undertakes major clean-up in New Market St - Public Infrastructure Ministry to oversee project
CO-CHAIRMAN of CGX Energy Inc., Professor Suresh Narine, yesterday handed over a $1.5 million cheque to Gaico Construction Inc., for the de-silting of two most critical canals in New Market Street, between Waterloo and Thomas Streets, Georgetown. The project, which will be supervised by the Public Infrastructure Ministry, also includes the de-silting of small canals and road side drains in Main and Middle Streets, and Cummings and Lamaha Streets, and caters for a six-month maintenance period of the two waterways
identified for cleaning. During a simple handing over ceremony, at the CGX office in New Market Street, Dr Narine explained that it was observed that New Market Street, along its entire length seems to flood very easily, when compared with other surrounding streets. This street floods the fastest and takes a long time to drain. “Our headquarters is here and with many other private companies, along with the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), so when this happens it not only inconveniences us directly,
but all the people who reside or do business on the street, so we decided to get the ball rolling and we contacted Gaico Construction Inc., and Marine Engineering and had a little study done on what could be done on immediately eliminating this problem,” Professor Narine pointed out. He noted that New Market Street has a series of major canals that are located in the middle of the block; one between Waterloo and Camp, and another between Camp and Thomas Streets, which drain into the canal parallel to Lamaha Street. These canals, he said, are entirely silted.
Co-Chairman of CGX Energy Inc., Professor Suresh Narine handing over the cheque to Gaico Construction Inc., Managing Director, Komal Singh in the presence of the Ministry of Public Infrastructure’s Technical Advisor, Walter Willis at the CGX New Market Street Office yesterday
Ministry of Public Infrastructure’s Technical Advisor, Walter Willis and Gaico Construction Inc., Managing Director, Komal Singh at one of the canals between Camp and Thomas Streets
Narine is calling on the energy company’s corporate partners and neighbours who reside along the street, to get onboard with this initiative because “collectively if we begin to act in this fashion, and under the direction of the Public Infrastructure Ministry, we can start to address the significant problem that the country has.” He added that it is very difficult for the Government alone to address the enormity of the drainage issues in Guyana, and that it is very
important that corporate companies assist in this regard. CGX employees will also participate in the cleaning aspect of the project. Walter Willis, Technical Advisor, Ministry of Public Infrastructure, noted that the Ministry is always supportive of stakeholders who are willing to contribute to the enhancement of the city’s drainage. Currently, Guyana is confronted with May/June rains which cause flooding of low lying areas within the
city and across the country. Willis explained that the lowest areas will always flood first and will drain last. However, it is heartening that CGX has undertaken this critical area. He further explained that the Ministry has also published bids for works to be done on the de-silting of the Lamaha Street outfall, the tunnel under Transport and Harbours Department leading up to the sluice, and for the enhancement of Lamaha Street.
Police ‘shoot’ blank on Rubis accountant’s murder THE Guyana Police Force (GPF) continues to look high and low, far and wide for clues that may lead to the killer and/or players behind the killing of the Rubis Gas Station Accountant, 27-year-old Jason Kurt, who was gunned down in his home last Thursday evening, moments after he and his fiancée had returned home from an outing. Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum yesterday confirmed that the GPF has not been able to score any success in this
case just yet. He confirmed that while they have been able to question some people, the investigators have failed to come up with a clear suspect or a motive for the killing, which seemed like more than a robbery. Persons from Kurt’s place of employment, as well as those from the surrounding areas, have also furnished investigators with some amount of information in regard to whether they may have seen or heard anything, but the GPF scoresheet remains
blank. Kurt was, on Thursday, shot to the chest by what appeared to be a lone gunman who invaded his home and shot him before making off with his licensed firearm, mobile phone and Nintendo Game. One person from the community had indicated that after hearing the loud explosion and looking outside, they had observed someone scaling the fence of Kurt’s home and making good their escape up the road. Called in after the shoot-
ing, the police had questioned Kurt’s girlfriend, who was reportedly upstairs at the time of the shooting, but who claimed she was afraid to venture into the lower flat of the home after hearing the explosion, which sounded like a gunshot. The accountant had no opportunity to use his weapon in defence of himself. The police have since launched a hunt for the suspect, as investigations into the shooting continue. (Leroy Smith)

President joins worshippers at Bartica - during St. John the Baptist 172nd anniversary church service on Father’s Day
DESCRIBING his visit to Bartica, Region 7, as a ‘homecoming’, President David Granger on Sunday joined the congregation of the St. John the Baptist Church as they celebrated their 172nd anniversary. With Sunday being Father’s Day as well, the Head of State took the time to wish all dads a Happy Father’s Day as he called on them to be better fathers.
“I must thank you all for welcoming me back. As you know my social life, my education life, my cultural life all started right here in Bartica 70 years ago. So this is homecoming for me because this is where it all started,” the President said. President Granger also used the forum to thank the residents of Bartica and the wider Cuyuni/Mazaruni Region for their overwhelm-
ing support throughout the elections campaign and the recently concluded May 11 General and Regional Elections. “I’ve come here to thank you for your participation in a free, open and democratic process and today, people from Bartica can say somebody from Bartica has become President of Guyana," he said. Meanwhile, the service
A member of the St. John the Baptist congregation greeting President David Granger during the celebration of the church’s 172nd anniversary
was well attended by many who came from neighbouring communities for the auspicious event. Tributes were done, in the form of speeches, songs and prayers, even as some members took the time to wish the Head of State whom they described as the “Father of the Nation” Happy Father’s Day.
Congratulations were also in order for the Head of State by members of the congregation as they wished him well in taking the country forward. The service was officiated by Reverend Alfred David. The St John the Baptist Church had been built after a visit from the Bishop of
Barbados in 1836, which was consecrated by the Bishop of Guiana in 1843. During the mid-19th century, a monument was erected on the avenue leading to the church, in memory of a Reverend Pierce and his family who all died on the rapids of the Essequibo. (GINA)

‘Let wisdom, humility be your watch words’ - at Ramadan ceremony at Anna Catherina Islamic Complex
MINISTER of Social Protection Volda Lawrence was the guest of honour at a ceremony organised by the Anna Catherina Islamic Complex’s Akbar Hussain Lecture Hall on Saturday last. In expressing her appreciation for the gesture, the minister made two requests of her hosts. “One, that you pray for wisdom not only for the Government, but for all of us. Wisdom is my key word, and I trust God that it will be my key word for the next five years because as a child growing up in Guyana and as an adult, I always hear of all the potential we have, but it seems as though we lack the wisdom to be able to take it to the higher level…The next thing I’m going to ask you to pray for is humbleness.” Minister Lawrence noted that “all of us, irrespective of where we came from and irrespective of what portfolio we hold, that we will walk in humility. That we will humble ourselves and in doing that we will recognise that we will have to humble our hearts.” The minister asked that God grant all these wishes as there is a lot of work for all to do so that a land can be built, so that youths can take their cues, “not from television, not from the greatest dancer, not from the greatest actors but from their parents, the people whom they see every single day”. Head of the Inter Religious Organisation, Ronald Mc Garrell, accompanied Minister Lawrence to the event which was organised as part of the Islamic Ramadan Observances. Other speakers included overseas based former President of the Guyana United Islamic Anjuman, Shamshudin Rahaman; Head of the Political Division of the Ministry of the Presidency, Abdool Kareem; and President of the Guyana Islamic Forum of Education, Peace and Religious Solidarity, Roshan Khan.

LOCATED on the Corentyne River, Orealla or Orealla Mission can be found approximately 50 miles South of Crabwood Creek on the Corentyne Coast in Region Six. This community overlooks neighbouring Suriname. The pathway to this Amerindian reservation and its satellite, Siparuta, starts from Georgetown, where one has to travel by road to Crabwood Creek, and thereafter by boat for approximately three hours before arrival at Orealla. Orealla is an Arawak word which means “white chalk”, and seems to have acquired its name from the surrounding chalk hills. Orealla was at one time inhabited mainly by the Arawaks and Warraus with some Caribs, but at present, Wapishanas and Macushis can also be found there. Orealla and Siparuta are the only two Amerindian reservations on the Corentyne River. These villages are structured locally as one and are managed by a Toshao (Captain), along with a team of councillors. These communities, which have a population of over 2000, are surrounded by virgin rainforest, hills and dry open savannahs. They are predominantly occupied by Amerindians, along with other ethnic groups, who migrate to the area to seek employment or just for pleasure. The communities have managed to sustain their livelihood through the collection of royalty for sand and logs. They are also supported by traditional farming, fishing and hunting activities.
Recently, Minister of Indigenous People’s Affairs, Sydney Allicock, and Minister within the Ministry, Valerie Garrido-Lowe, visited the community and outlined a number of plans for further development to the area. “...you have a wonderful tourist destination. I understand that you have very fertile soil, you have pine (pineapples) and other things that can grow, and you have the waterway which makes it easier to take your products to either the coast or to neighbouring Suriname. All you need is for someone to create a plan, discuss it, so that you can access that opportunity,” Minister Allicock told the residents. In reference to a beautiful song that was composed by a resident who performed his piece as the residents welcomed the ministers and their team, he said that “the time has gone when we have Amerindians sit and wait; we are too brilliant for that. It is like hiding that natural talent that needs exposure and support.” In the spirit of unity, the Minister urged the residents to work in harmony as a community can only develop when residents are united. The residents were also urged to take an inventory of the technical people that they have, and the potential cottage industry since the community has a very promising tourism industry and is involved in logging and sand mining. In this regard, he said the community must also understand the value of women in administration and planning. Meanwhile, Minister Gar-

Orealla, a community with great tourism potential rido-Lowe, who is responsible for the welfare of women, children and youths, noted that there are a number of exciting things in store for Indigenous People over the next five years. Women empowerment and youth development are among the priorities of the Ministry, and it will be strongly supporting the preservation of Amerindian culture through fashion design, cookery, craft, songs, poetry and dance. Among the sport disciplines, football and volleyball are strong points among Orealla youths. The community can expect significant support in this regard, since the Ministry will be developing a plan which will see qualified Indigenous youths participating both nationally and internationally. The women’s group will also be supported in the area of agro-processing, where they would be able to make full use of their pineapples, pears, oranges, mangoes and papaws. Already, several women in the community have benefited from the Micro and Small Enterprises (MSE) Development and Building Alternative Livelihoods for Vulnerable Groups’ project, under the Small Business loans, through the Ministry of Business, where they received a $300,000 grant to assist them in starting up their businesses. Orealla is a very serene community. On a normal weekday, the children would go to school, while the men would work on their farms,

Children of secondary age attend either the Line Path or Skeldon Secondary Schools as there is no such institution in the villages due to their small population. The community has managed to maintain its traditional culture through cassava bread, casareep, tuma and
farine and craft making. Its benab is used to host community meetings, and cultural events. This village is home to nine Christian churches, a nursery and primary school, a health centre, a police station, a Guyana Forestry Commission office, several small shops and two guest houses. Orealla is an ideal tourism destination. In fact re-
cently some new species of birds were found in the area. In 2009, the community launched its annual ‘Orealla Regatta’ which saw persons from the city and neighbouring Suriname participating in activities such as boat races, greasy pole and dancing competitions. (A GINA Feature)

THE ‘Let’s Keep Georgetown Clean’ initiative, in collaboration with Woodlands Hospital and the Bank of Nova Scotia on Carmichael Street, undertook the clean-up of a section of the Street on Saturday last. The activity saw the participation of over 75 staff members of both collaborating entities and some residents whose physical presence and participation in the exercise went towards restoring the aesthetics of our Garden City. Let’s Keep Georgetown Clean is a NGO which aims at motivating and educating our citizens to keep the city of Georgetown clean, according to the group’s Chairman, Sherod Duncan. “We have recently completed successful clean up exercises in numerous areas like: Tiger Bay, South Ruimveldt, Vlissengen Road, Central Georgetown among other localities,” Duncan stated in an email to the Chronicle. “This weekend we look forward to our ‘Students Mega Clean Up’ in which we hope to engage students from the University of Guyana primarily, and other institutions of learning, in a clean-up along the Seawall beginning at the Vlissengen Road Pump Station on Saturday, June 27, 2015 at 06:00 hrs,” Duncan advised.

GUYANA CHRONICLE Tuesday June 23, 2015
President outlines comprehensive development plan for Region Seven WITH his recent announcement that Bartica will gain full township status in April of 2016, Head of State David Granger said all the necessary development works must now commence in order to fulfill that goal. During a public meeting on Sunday at the Bartica Secondary School, the President called for citizens and the business community to play their role as he committed his Administration’s will to bring about the necessary change. He however, pointed out that already the community has most of the facilities that qualify it for township, but much work still needs to be done. The Administration, through the Ministry of Public Health would be working to bring the Bartica Hospital to its rightful standard, that of a Regional Hospital, he said. President Granger told a packed auditorium that when persons visit the hospital they must be able to access a comprehensive service. Meanwhile in the area of youth development, the President said there is, and has always been the need for a technical institute in Bartica, which would equip youths with the necessary skills to add to their personal growth, and that of their community. This, he added will in turn aid with the issue of brain drain in the region. In addition, President Granger said there is also the need for a state-of-the-art sporting facility in the region, which would see youths excelling in the various sports discipline. This and a strong education system in the region are
necessary for human resources development, and ultimately producing rounded individuals. The residents were also called on to play their role in maintaining the social fabric of society, and to fight against the many social ills. CORPORATE BARTICA As it relates to businesses in the community, the President said while he is in no way against foreign direct investments, those coming into the community must adhere to the rule of law. He however, warned that for businesses to invest in the community, there must be safety, and most importantly there should be no room for errant law enforcers. President Granger pointed out that already the community has most of the business facilities needed to propel the economy including banks. However, going forward there is need for an aerodrome of international municipal standards in the Region. This facility, the President told the business community, should feature an extended and upgraded runway, state-of-the-art terminal building, and waiting area with all the necessary amenities, which would attract more businesses to the community. Having outlined his vision for the community, President Granger said his hope is to see a strong Region Seven. “I don’t see it as being an appendage to the rest of the country. I see Region Seven almost as being as a State, and I see the Regional Chairman and the Regional Council propelBarticians in the area’s Secondary School
The Guyana Bank For Trade and Industry, Bartica
ling the development of this Region.” Meanwhile, with regard to giving the community its own decision making powers, the President told residents that it is his intention to hold Local Government election at the earliest date possible. “I believe in a strong Region, and that is why we have committed ourselves to having Local Government elections, and I’m in constant touch with the Guyana Elections Commission and the Minister of Communities to have the Local Government election as early as possible.” With the hosting of Local Government elections, the President said residents through their elected Mayor and leaders would be able to choose the course on which their Region would move forward.
Gov’t launches Inquiry into collapse of mining pits DIRECTIVES from President David Granger have prompted Minister of Governance, Raphael Trotman, to launch an inquiry into the collapse of mining pits that have resulted in the injury or deaths of miners as of recent. This was revealed in a statement issued by the Ministry of the Presidency, via the Government Information Agency (GINA), yesterday. That statement noted that the issue of safety in the mining sector remains of paramount importance to the administration. Following is the full text of the statement: The issue of safety in the mining sector is one of paramount importance to this Administration. In recent times, a number of reports have reached the Ministry of the Presidency and the general public about the collapse of pits and other incidents resulting in the injury and some cases, deaths of miners. More importantly, reports also indicate that regulatory agencies (namely the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission) are restrained by the ‘Orders of the Court’ from executing their mandate that in many instances Minister of Govmay have prevented injury ernance, Raphael and the loss of life. Trotman Our Human Capital is of pivotal importance to the sector and the country as a whole and cannot be lost to what may appear to be avoidable situations. In this regard, Hon. Raphael Trotman, Minister of Governance, directed by His Excellency President David Arthur Granger, has launched an inquiry into the collapse of mining pits that have resulted in the injury or death of miners. The inquiry is to be conducted by a multi-stakeholder Committee, (that) will work independent of the Commission but is authorised to request any relevant information from any employee through the Commissioner of GGMC in order to carry out its functions. The three-member Committee will comprise individuals knowledgeable and competent in their respective fields and will include the Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association. It’s expected that by July 31, 2015, a Report detailing the Committee’s findings along with recommendations for immediate and long-term actions will be submitted to the Minister of Governance for implementation.

GUYANA CHRONICLE Tuesday June 23, 2015
World anti-money-laundering body deletes FIFA-related warning By Mark Hosenball and Brett Wolf LONDON, England (Reuters) - A world anti-money-laundering body has deleted all trace of an alert it issued last week warning that financial institutions had not done enough to police suspicious financial activity by officials at FIFA, soccer’s global governing body. The alert, on the website of the Paris-based Financial Action Task Force, was originally posted on June 16, almost three weeks after U.S. authorities indicted nine current and former FIFA officials and five business executives on a series of corruption charges, including bribery, money-laundering and wire fraud. In the statement, FATF said that “recent reports about alleged corruption and money-laundering activities on a large scale by several high-ranking FIFA officials underscore how important it is that financial institutions identify and monitor high-risk customers.” FATF, an inter-governmental group whose members include national anti-money-laundering agencies around the world, added that financial institutions “do not appear to have given a sufficient amount of scrutiny to the financial activities of the officials concerned, as many of these allegedly corruption-related transfers passed through the international financial system undetected.” Reuters first learnt of the FATF notice from a European official familiar with FIFA investigations, and located it on Saturday through a Google search, though when the search engine on FATF’s own website was queried, the FIFA notice did not appear. On Monday morning, the URL which initially brought up the FIFA notice on Google instead produced a “not found” notice. CONCERNS ABOUT PHRASING Roger Wilkins, FATF’s president, told Reuters that he took the decision to remove the statement from the
agency’s website due to concerns about its phrasing and a lack of concrete evidence to support the claims. “We don’t want to interfere with ongoing investigations and the way it’s phrased could be misconstrued ... We don’t have any direct evidence that financial institutions have done necessarily anything wrong or failed to do anything in relation to these things,” he said, while attending a FATF meeting in Brisbane, Australia. FATF officials could not be immediately reached for further comment. Several bank compliance officers expressed concern about the level of due diligence into the sports business FATF’s president that was being suggested. One, Roger Wilkins at a British bank, said: “What, am I supposed to research? Who the marketing guy is at each shoe company who makes decisions about promotions tied to players and then watch his account to see if he receives an extra $50 000? Where does it stop?” In addition to the U.S. criminal probe, Switzerland is investigating possible corruption in connection with FIFA’s award of the World Cup hosting rights to Moscow in 2018 and Qatar in 2022. Switzerland’s Attorney General Michael Lauber, who is leading the investigation, told a news conference last week that his investigators were examining 104 banking relationships and 53 suspicious transactions which had been reported by Swiss bankers to Switzerland’s own anti-money-laundering agency.
Hafeez faces one-year ban over suspect action
Mohammad Hafeez
(REUTERS) - Pakistan’s Mohammad Hafeez could be banned from bowling for one year after the part-time off-spinner was again reported by match officials for a suspect action during the Test against Sri Lanka in Galle that ended on Sunday. The opening batsman has to undergo further testing within 14 days
and can continue bowling until the results are known, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said in a statement on Monday. The 34-year-old will be automatically banned from bowling for 12 months if the new assessment finds his action to be illegal because he has been reported twice in a two-year period. Former Pakistan captain Hafeez was initially reported after the first test against New Zealand in Abu Dhabi in November and was subsequently banned after an independent analysis found his action to be illegal. He was cleared to bowl again in April after changing his action and took two first-innings wickets in the 10-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in Galle.

Jeffrey resets Trinidad lap record

After, dedicating his win and the record to his father, Jeffrey said, “The whole performance definitely goes to the team, but as it’s Father’s Day (Sunday), to a man that got me through motor racing and got me through motor racing like he was my idol growing up, obviously. “Without him, I wouldn’t be anywhere so this goes to my father for sure.” Jeffrey picked up a 1st place in the first race, ahead of Boodoosingh and Carrington before the position was reversed with Boodosingh first, Carrington second and Jeffrey third. Race three ended with Carrington first, Jeffrey second and Boodoosingh third. Each driver picked up 58 points and could not be separated by the number of first-, second- or third-place finishes. Jeffrey still leads the CMRC individual standings. On the Group 3 end of things, Danny Persaud fought tooth and nail to secure the Champion driver in that category with 61 points ahead of Trinidad and Tobago’s representative Paul Vieira. Persaud opened the day with the first Group 3 win and picked up 2 second places in the remaining races to amass more points than Vieira (50). Speaking after the presentation, Persaud said that his win also goes to his team. “The guys worked very hard over the weekend; this championship goes to the guys. “They didn’t have the luck that we wanted in Jamaica but this goes to show that the car and the team are very, very competitive and barring the bad luck, we feel that in the remaining two rounds, we can make up the points needed to take the Group 3 championship.” Persaud sits third in the Group 3 championship, behind Gary Barrett of the Cayman Islands and Natasha Chang of Jamaica, respectively. Shairaz Roshandin was dominant in the Group 2 end of things where he picked up the Champion driver trophy, after securing a first- and two second-place finishes. In race 1, Roshandin came second to Barbados’ Mark Thompson, after which he registered second again to Marc Gill. He however refused to settle for another second and dominated the competition in the final race. Speaking after collecting his trophy, the Group 2 driver indicated that consistency is key to winning the championship. “Reliability and consistency are keys to winning the Caribbean Championships and I think I can do that this year at the Group 3 level.” The Guyana team returned home last evening.

Dhoni willing to quit ODI captaincy DHAKA, Bangladesh (Reuters) - Mahendra Singh Dhoni is willing to step aside as India captain and focus on his own game if it will help the team, the 33-year-old said in the wake of their first-ever one-day series defeat to Bangladesh. The long-serving leader, who will turn 34 next month, gave up the Test captaincy midway the series in Australia in December before retiring from the longer format altogether. And with two humiliating ODI losses in the first two matches of the series against their neighbours, Dhoni was asked if he still enjoyed leading the Indian team. “I am really enjoying my cricket,” Dhoni said after his side’s six-wicket loss at Mirpur on Sunday. “I know this question was coming. I know the media really loves me. “Yes, if it is a justifiable thing that if you remove me and the Indian cricket will start doing really well, and if I am the reason for all the bad that is happening to Indian cricket, definitely I would love to step away and play as a player. “Ultimately you want India to win. It doesn’t matter who is the captain. “I was never really in line to become a captain. It was a job or responsibility for me. I have taken that responsibility. If they want to take it away, I am happy to give it away.” The wicketkeeper-batsman took over the ODI mantle from Rahul Dravid after India’s group-stage exit from the 2007 World Cup in West Indies and is considered the country’s greatest skipper in limited-overs format. He has won a Twenty20 World Cup, the 2011 50-overs World Cup at home and also the Champions Trophy in England, as well as taking India to the top of world Test
Mahendra Singh Dhoni wiling to step aside as India’s ODI captain rankings. “What is more important is to play for the country and contribute to the team and try to keep the dressing room atmosphere good,” said Dhoni, who promoted himself to number four in the batting order on Sunday and made a laboured 47. “So that whenever youngsters are coming in, they can come and perform. That will be the ultimate achievement for me. “Indian cricket had been used to players coming in toned, ready for international cricket. Now it has changed. You have to grind it through. You can’t win every series you play.
Pakistan youngsters impress skipper Misbah
(REUTERS) - Pakistan have even more reason to cheer their first Test victory in Sri Lanka in nine years thanks to impressive performances from the team’s younger players, said captain Misbah-ul-Haq. The visitors fought back from 96-5 down in their first innings to register the win in less than four days after rain had washed out four sessions of the contest on the first two days at the Galle International Stadium. The task of hauling Pakistan out of trouble has usually fallen to Younus Khan, 37, and the 41-year-old Misbah but it was the emerging talents of Asad Shafiq and Sarfraz Ahmed who led them out of a
Sarfraz Ahmed
precarious position and laid the foundations for the win. Leg-spinner Yasir Shah then ripped through Sri Lanka’s batting in the second innings with career-best figures of 7-76 to complete a 10-wicket victory. “It’s good to have youngsters performing, that actually takes away the pressure from us (Younus and himself),” Misbah told reporters. “This is the future we are building with these youngsters and these players are coming of age now to take the team ahead. “Sarfraz is a key player, Azhar (Ali) is performing in the top, and the way Sarfraz and Asad played it further stamps our faith in them.” Saeed Ajmal has been Pakistan’s main weapon in spin-friendly conditions but the off-spinner has been dropped from the side after insipid performances since returning from a ban for an illegal bowling action. The 29-year-old Yasir, with just eight Tests under his belt, ensured Ajmal was not missed. “It’s just a start for Yasir, look at the way he has performed to step up and become Pakistan’s main bowler and to contribute in Pakistan’s victories,” Misbah said. “So we are getting a good bunch who are grabbing every opportunity and applying themselves as a unit. The batting line-up is now getting mature and performing consistently.” Misbah still felt Yasir has to work harder to become one of the leading spinners in world cricket. “He is giving us a good advantage, especially on these pitches where other spinners are not getting any sort of spin,” Misbah added. “Seven wickets against an opponent who is good against spin is something that speaks a lot. To become one of the greats, I think he still has to improve a lot. “He might be performing well in Asian conditions but there are a lot more Tests ahead of him when he will be abroad, like in England and Australia.”

ANDRE `Stone’ Purlette started out the year 2000 in fine style by knocking out American Louis Gallucci in the first round. Gallucci was counted out at one minute 15 seconds of the opening round by Brian Garry. The fight was held at the Hyatt Regency in Tampa, Florida, USA and was one of three Purlette had for the year. The Guyanese cruiserweight turned professional in December 1992 and had his first fight on American soil on March 26, 1996. Purlette was 22 years old then and needed only two rounds to win by TKO over American Fred Adams. In February 1995 David Fields became Purlette’s eighth knockout victim. While Leon `King Kong’ O’ Neil, Colin Murray and Ivor `Baba’ Simmons all bowed out by the second round, Fields lasted until midway the third round. Purlette suffered his first defeat in the professional ranks on December 4, 2002 after being TKOed by Cuban-American Eliester Castillo in Miami, Florida. The referee was again Brian Garry, and he stopped the contest at two minutes 58 seconds of the fifth round. Purlette last fought in 2009 and has a record of 40 victories in 44 fights. He has boxed 134 rounds and holds a 79 percent knockout average. *********************************** GUYANESE-born USA-based junior middleweight Tony Marshall defeated Jose Hiram Torres on June 23, 1992 at the Knickbocker Arena in Albany, New York. The fight was the 10th for Marshall who had started his professional career the previous year. The winner of the eight-round bout was decided by the judges who gave the Guyanese the unanimous nod. Marshall improved to eight wins and two draws after the victory. He had nine fights in 1992 which included his first defeat. On October 14 he challenged Puerto Rican Julio Flores who at 25 was four years Marshall’s senior. Flores defeated his orthodox opponent by unanimous decision. Marshall then had back-to-back draws. One was to Kenny Ellis (who defeated Pascal David at the Sports Hall in 1993) while the other happened against Willy Wise, who defeated Julio Cesar Chavez in 1999. Marshall made two unsuccessful attempts at the world junior middleweight title and quit the sport in October 2005 after being TKOed by Lenord `Haitian Sensation’ Pierre.

NACRA Sevens loss rests on the players’ shoulders - Henry By Kizan Brumell FOLLOWING Guyana’s participation in the Men’s and Women’s NACRA Sevens Championships and Olympic Qualifiers in North Carolina two weekends ago, they met with the media yesterday at Olympic House to give a detailed debriefing of what played out. The Men’s national side finished fifth of the nine teams that participated while the Women were sixth out of the eight competing teams. Head coach of the Men’s team, Theodore Henry, believes his players were not completely focused in the matches and that is one of the contributing factors which led to their loss of the Sevens title. Henry said, “USA and Canada were clearly the strongest sides in the tournament but we were the best, right after them. Our guys were prepared physically,

He disclosed that after the first match which they won 38-19 against Bahamas, they became complacent and it reflected in the score line of the other matches that the
GBTI open tennis tourney sees mixed results on Day 2 THE second day of the GBTI Open had mixed results for the seeded players as the novice medley players kicked-started the day’s event. On the top half of the draw, Philbert Clark fell at the hands of Delon Fraser 6-3 in the quarter-finals. Despite the big serves thrown at Fraser, he was able to stay focused and clutch his spot in the semi-finals. He will play Akeem Bailey who also had a 6-3 win over the only female player, Fiona Bushel, who made a good effort by playing good ground strokes and staying consistent but the aggressive play by Bailey outmatched Bushel. On the bottom half of the draw, Jamal Goodluck reached his first Novice finals by defeating Romario Chanderballi. Goodluck secured a break of serve to go up 4-1, only to allow his opponent back in the set. Chanderballi held and broke to go back on serve 4-3, but he broke Chanderballi’s serve and held to secure a final match between the winner of Delon Fraser and Akeem Bailey. The first match of the men’s open was played between Andre Erskine and young Hemraj Resaul. Andre Erskine, seeded at six, took the first set easily 6-1, due to nerves and numerous unforced errors committed by Resaul. Erskine was never truly tested in this matchup, but Resaul made an effort with a few winning shots in the second set. He threatened to break Erskine’s serve in the 5th game but failed to capitalise on the four break chances. Andre Erskine eventually held and broke to close out the match 6-1, 6-0. His next match will be against the winner between Khawn Rodney and Chethan Narayan. In other results between Jamal Goodluck and veteran player Rudy Grant, the latter won 6-0 in two sets while Nomechandra Persaud defeated Leroy Chapman 4-6, 6-2, 6-2. Oswin Coggins trounced the American, Bobby Adelson 1-6, 6-4, 6-4 while Seanden David-Longe had the first major upset in the men’s singles when he outplayed Benedict Sukra 7-5, 6-4..
locals were undone due to poor defensive efforts. The turning point in the NACRA leg of the competition occurred when Guyana lost controversially to Cayman Islands. Cayman Islands then lost to Mexico in the NACRA Sevens final 5-21 while Guyana humbled Jamaica 19-5 to take fifth. That loss also put Guyana out of contention to qualify
for the Olympics. President of the Guyana Rugby Football Union (GRFU), Peter Greene, pointed out that preparing for both the NACRA 15s and Sevens Championships, which are now hosted closer together, took a toll on Guyana’s top players which means the union must produce more players. Meanwhile, Henry
thought that the Women put forth a very good performance even after being out of competitive rugby for a few years. He saw the side get progressively better in the tournament after ironing out a few jitters but their inexperience showed. Team manager Petal Adams also thought the ladies put on a good show and have given the union good signs for the future of women’s rugby. Guyana’s Men now turn their attention to the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto, Canada from July 11-12. A squad of 12 was named with Vallon Adams and Travis Bascom being replaced by Akeem Fraser and Phibian Joseph. The rest of the squad reads: Richard Staglon (captain), Lancelot Adonis, Claudius Butts, Avery Corbin, Rickford Cummings, Ryan Gonsalves, Peabo Hamilton, Patrick King, Ronald Mayers
and Dwayne Schroeder. Guyana will be competing in Pool ‘B’ which includes the mighty Argentina, Canada and Brazil while Pool ‘A’ consists of USA, Uruguay, Chile and Mexico. At the conclusion of the pool matches, teams will be positioned in their pools as determined by competition points and will battle in the quarterfinal round to advance. Prior to the Pan Am Games Guyana will have gained some game-situation practice when they compete in a Pre-Pan Am Games Mini Tournament which features three other teams. The four-team tournament sanctioned by Rugby Ontario includes Ontario Blues Senior Provincial Rugby 7s, the Uruguay International Sevens team and the Pro-North American Team which is an invitational team. The competition is scheduled for July 4 at the Appleby College, Ontario.
ICC annual conference gets under way
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) – Putting in place a new president is one of the items on the agenda for the International Cricket Council’s annual conference which got under way here yesterday. Bangladeshi Mustafa Kamal controversially quit the post during the recent ICC Cricket World Cup, after launching a broadside against the World governing body. Media reports indicate that Najam Sethi, the head of the Pakistan Cricket Board’s executive committee, is likely to fill the vacant post. Sethi was already expected to take over from Kamal on July 1. The other items on the agenda include discussion on ICC Associate membership application from Serbia, a report
from the chairman of the Anti-Corruption and Security Unit, receiving recommendations on cricket and development matters from recent committee meetings and looking at the ICC strategy post-2015. The hosting of the Conference marks the first time the meetings will be taking place in the Caribbean, and delegates from over 50 ICC members expected to attend, making it the largest-ever gathering of cricket administrators in the Americas region to date. Several high level meetings will be held during the conference with the ICC Chief Executives’ Committee sitting down yesterday and today and the Finance and Commercial Affairs Committee meeting on Thursday.
England top Norway in sweltering heat, set up Canada game By David Ljunggren
OTTAWA, (Reuters)-England defender Lucy Bronze scored from long range to give her side a 2-1 win over Norway in a second round Women’s World Cup game yesterday and set up a quarter-final clash against hosts Canada. The two technically skilled European sides largely cancelled each other out in the sweltering heat and sixth-ranked England had to wait until the 76th minute to take the lead, Bronze thumping home a fine shot from 22 yards out. England will now play
Canada on Saturday in Vancouver. With temperatures on the pitch hovering around 40 Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) in the first half, the players adopted a slow pace at the start and the game only picked up in the second half. Norway’s Solveig Gulbrandsen broke the deadlock in the 54th minute, getting her head to a corner at the near post and flicking the ball in off the bar. England equalised from a corner in the 61st minute when captain Steph Houghton outmuscled two defenders to score with a fine header of her own.

Jamaica Tallawahs hoping for winning start to 2015 CPL …face Barbados Tridents at Kensington Oval
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, (CMC) – Jamaica Tallawahs head coach Junior Bennett says it will be important for his side to make a winning start to the 2015 Caribbean Premier League, when they face reigning champions Barbados Tridents here tonight. The Chris Gayle-led Tallawahs open their campaign against the Tridents who raised the curtain on the tournament last Saturday by trouncing last year’s losing finalists, Guyana Amazon Warriors, by 49 runs at Kensington Oval. Bennett, in his first year as head coach, told reporters here yesterday that the Tallawahs did not want to find themselves too far behind early on and therefore were focussing on picking up early victories. “In any competition you
want to get off to a winning start, you don’t want to play what we call catch-up cricket,” Bennett said. “You just want to go out there in front and remain in front and based on the format of the competition whereby the team that tops the group stage will go straight to the final, you would want to do that instead of going into the playoffs.” He continued: “Last year we stumbled because we needed a win from two games and lost both games and in the end, the net run rate really cost us because if you look back at last year, all four top teams ended with the same amount of points in the preliminaries. It is extremely important that we start on the right footing this year.” When they two teams
met last year in St Kitts, Tridents crushed the Tallawahs by 88 runs in a lopsided encounter, and Bennett said he was under no illusions about the nature of today’s task. “Definitely we know this is going to be a tough match. The Tridents have played well over the years and even in the first year, they didn’t reach the final but they played some good consistent cricket right throughout and last year they won,” he explained. “I believe all the teams this year are good teams and we’re not going to target a particular team, we just want to go out there and play our own game and play good consistent cricket right throughout the entire tournament.” Tallawahs face a Tridents side which produced
a clinical performance on Saturday, under lights to win comprehensively. They racked up 158 for six with captain Kieron Pollard top-scoring with 48 and then bundled out Amazon Warriors for a paltry 109, with seamer Ravi Rampaul and left-arm spinner Robin Peterson picking up three wickets apiece. Rampaul told reporters it was important the hosts sustained this momentum, though the nature of the opposition was different. “We wanted to start on a winning note and we got that victory so we just want to continue playing consistent cricket, trying to win all of our home games and take it from there,” he said. “I think all the teams are even so it is who plays the better cricket on the day.
‘Fearless’ Bangladesh celebrate rare consistent run DHAKA, Bangladesh (Reuters) - Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza believes playing a fearless brand of one-day cricket has brought about a “significant change” in his team’s fortunes. Over the last two years Bangladesh lost home ODI series to Sri Lanka and India and were also blanked 3-0 in West Indies, but an upswing in performances has seen them win 10 ODIs at home in a row.
Bangladesh blanked Zimbabwe 5-0 in a fiveODI series before reaching the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand for the first time, and proved that was no fluke by thumping Pakistan 3-0 in a ODI series at home. They followed that up with their first ODI series win over two-time world champions India on Sunday with a game to spare. “I think the boys are

Combined Americas squad for NAGICO Super50
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) – A Combined Americas squad will play in next year’s NAGICO Super50, with the best players landing the chance of turning out in the Caribbean Premier League. The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced yesterday that the process to select the Americas representative team would begin in September, and be conducted in two phases. West Indies Cricket Board president Dave Cameron said the Caribbean was thrilled with the venture, especially since development formed a major part of the WICB’s mandate. “The WICB takes its role to assist the development of cricket in the Americas region seriously, and therefore we are delighted to be supporting this initiative,” he said. “The NAGICO Super50 and the CPL are important events on our annual calendar, and to extend opportunities to the best players in the Americas to compete in them is the right thing to do in-line with ICC’s strategy to grow cricket beyond its traditional boundaries.” Phase one will represent an open trial with all eligible players in the Americas region welcome to apply online. Players will then attend a trial hosted at the World Sports Park in Indianapolis from September 18 to 21. Phase two will run from September 24 to 27 and will see the best players from Phase one involved in this trial, after which the squad will be selected. Tim Anderson, the ICC’s Head of Global Development, said the move was a positive step for the Americas region. “It’s exciting that the ICC, in cooperation with the WICB, is able to provide this opportunity to the best cricketers in the Americas region,” Anderson said. “The region is full of talented cricketers, with many in the USA and Canada, and through the innovative open trial we hope to uncover some stars of the future.” The top performers coming out of the Super50 will be allowed to trial for the 2016 CPL.

US Virgin Islands dethrone Bahamas 71-65 to lift CBC title ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, (CMC) – Ernest Scott came up with a massive game as Antigua and Barbuda held off hosts British Virgin Islands to clinch third spot in the men’s Caribbean Basketball Championships (CBC) which wrapped up here Sunday. The forward netted 24 points and hauled down 11 rebounds, a double-double effort that helped the Antiguans overcome a slow start to post an impressive 82-73 victory at the Multi-Sports Complex. However, it was the US Virgin Islands who made all the headlines, dethroning reigning champions the Bahamas with a 71-65 win in a highly charged final. The USVI trailed 52-56 at the start of the final quarter but produced a telling burst to out-score the Bahamas 18-9 and take the victory. For the winners, Khalid
Hart led all scorers with 24 points while Ivan Aska weighed in with 14 points and ten rebounds, and Craig Williams Jr, ten points. For the Bahamas, Kadeem Coleby came off the bench to lead with 15 points while captain Magnun Rolle and Kentwan Smith got nine each. Antigua, meanwhile, would have been thrilled with the third place finish especially after doing well to reach the semi-finals of the tournament. They trailed 17-20 after the first quarter but had clawed their way back to lead 38-34 at the halftime whistle. Both teams were evenly matched in the pivotal third quarter and Antigua came away with a 54-50 lead, one which they maintained down the stretch in the final quarter. For the Antiguans, Scott led all scorers and was supported by forward Raviel
Burton who had a massive game off the bench with 23 points and 11 rebounds. They were two of five in double figures as Lennox McCoy got 12 points and captain Sharife Sargeant and Clinton Joshua both scored ten points. Meanwhile, Suriname turned back St Vincent and the Grenadines 87-80 to clinch fifth spot, despite huge efforts from Alexis Foyle who poured in 23 points and Shawn King, who scored 18 points, grabbed 18 rebounds and issued five assists. In the seventh place playoff, Barbados got past Bermuda 78-73, thanks to Akeem Marsh who scored 20 points and pulled down 13 rebounds, and Keefe Birkett who knocked down 21 points. Christopher Crumpler of Bermuda led all scorers with 27 points.

Chandrika admits shot selections were poor on Test debut By Rajiv Bisnauth AFTER becoming the 40th player in the history of Test cricket to score a pair on debut, Guyanese batsman Rajendra Chandrika admitted that poor shot selections were his downfall. The 25-year-old opener has had a debut to forget in the second Test against Australia at Jamaica’s Sabina Park earlier this month – recording ducks in both innings. Mitchell Starc was his nemesis in both innings. The right-hander got identical dismissals in both innings, driving at deliveries angled across him and getting caught
at the wicket and at gully respectively. ‘’Once I reached the middle all I had wanted is to get off the mark in both innings but the shot selections were not good,’’ he added. Chandrika, who was drafted into the side after Marlon Samuels was ruled out with illness, said that despite the poor performance, it was a good learning experience. The West Indies opener joins an exclusive list with pair of ducks on debut, but history shows it’s not all bad news. Chandrika can also take

comfort from the debut pairs by great opening batsmen Saeed Anwar and Marvan Atapattu, whose pairs came in separate matches but at the same time. Anwar scored more than 4 000 Test runs before he finished his Test career, while Atapattu score more than 5 500 Test runs in 90 Tests. “I just want to put that Test behind me and concentrate on the future. I still have a lot of cricket in me so one bad Test is not the end,” he pointed out during an exclusive interview with Chronicle Sport. Chandrika got into the Test side after hitting 75 against the Australians, playing for the WICB XI in the warm-up clash at the Sir Viv Richards ground in Antigua. Chandrika’s pair was just the second West Indian to have that fate befall him. The previous West Indian pair was recorded by spinner and No.11 batsman Alf Valentine at Old Trafford, Manchester in 1950, who faced three and six balls for his pair. Meanwhile, following his failure, Chandrika has received some words of comfort from coach Phillip Simmons, who said that failure can inspire success.

ACTION in the 5th Digicel Schools Football Competition continued yesterday at the Tucville Playfield where Charlestown registered a hard-fought win over Central High School. Central drew first blood in the 31st minute with a goal from Cordel Gaskin then they scored another goal thanks to Orwin Hunte who did likewise three minutes later. These two teams continued battling but Charlestown turned the match around with a goal in the 52nd minute from Lukard Ford. With their spirits revived, Charlestown dug deep and found the equaliser. However, no opportunity presented itself to separate the teams at the regulation time whistle. They were also unable to decide a winner in extra time. As they resorted to penalty kicks, Charlestown held their nerve to prevail 4-3.
