BK says Bulkan’s

comments on Haags Bosch is a ‘personal attack’ … Bulkan responds: ‘Send me a dismissal letter if I’m not doing my job’

By Ravin Singh CRITICISMS levied against BK International – the company currently operating the Haags Bosch Sanitary Landfill (HBSL) project, recently by Minister of Communities, Ronald Bulkan, were deemed to be “personal attacks” as described by Brian Tiwari, Chairmain of the BK Group of Companies, yesterday.

But when contacted for a comment in relation to Tiwari’s comment last evening, the Minister urged that, “He [Tiwari] should send me a dismissal letter if he thinks I’m not doing my job.”

Last week, Bulkan in an interview with this publication, had disclosed that the funding agent for the project - the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), was unwilling to continue funding the project until the contractor for the operation was removed.

The Minister had further expressed that both the financial institution and the Ministry were, “dissatisfied and unhappy” with the contractor’s quality of work, which was one of the factors contributing to the IDB’s withholding of additional funds.

But prior to these developments, Bulkan had disclosed that the then Local Government Ministry had written to the contractor, requesting that he vacate the site, but was greeted with an active response from Mr. Tiwari who moved to the courts and sought to stay that action for the ministry to show just cause why they should terminate his contract. The court document which supported the Minister’s claim in this regard was presented yesterday by Tiwari during a walk about of the Haags Bosch Landfill site.

Initiating litigation, as was described by Bulkan, was not wise of BK, since, according to him, “he [Tiwari] was not in fulfillment with a lot of the requirements that he was expected to deliver on.”

In his defense, however, Tiwari clarified that he has been executing the project as is outlined in the contract. “There is nothing in the contract that says we are at fault” he said, adding that the Minister’s criticisms are arising from an ill-informed position since he believes that Bulkan has not read the contract.

A section of the Haags Bosch sanitary landfill

Tiwari further argued that the contract had been a “vague” one with many shortcomings, including one of which was the description of the wrong piece of machinery to be used on the site.

After realising that the then Government of Guyana could not afford a single piece of equipment, Tiwari related that the IDB then offered that the contract be revised. He revealed however that this was never done.

Additionally, the Chairman posited that another of his concerns was a comment made by the Minister as was reported in the media that there was no contractor that could provide a lesser quality of work on the landfill site.

“I take that personally” a stern Tiwari said, suggesting that these comments were made because the two had been “wrangling” before the Minister’s assumption to Governmental office.

“The Minister is trying to get directly to BK because we had a conflicting arrangement since last year. I’m ready to challenge any international or local contractor; we broke the monopoly. I know the Minister is new and he runs his own business but he should go back to his article and read some of the articles where we have done well,” Tiwari advised.

At this point, he hinted at the “Torani Canal” which he deemed as a successful project, which, after an international company failed to build it, BK International successfully completed.

In response to this, the Communities Minister questioned why it was that Tiwari omitted from his presentation the controversial Black Bush Polder Road which his company was responsible for constructing.

Reiterating that the criticisms raised by the Minister last week were “personal attacks”, Tiwari added that the access road to the landfill had been a failed project which he was

not allowed to tender for. According to him, the contractor’s quality of work was not criticised though it lasted one year as opposed to a stipulated life-span of three years.

But Bulkan is of an opposing conviction, suggesting that the damage of the access road could have been done by the heavy duty machinery and trucks which traverse multiple times a day.

But Tiwari is taking it further than just the media. In fact, he revealed yesterday that he is currently exploring legal actions against the Minister for suggesting that there is no company which could provide a lesser quality of work at the site than BK International.

Tiwari also revealed that he is not refusing to leave the project, but rather, he is willing to leave when the company is financially compensated in excess of US$9M which the Government currently owes for the period June 2014 to present.

Additionally, it was highlighted that the landfill, which was initially contemplated to process 80,000 tonnes of waste a year, is now processing more than 140,000 tonnes, causing BK to expend more on fuel, equipment, maintenance, personnel and the like, more than quadrupling contemplated operational expenses, and the Ministry is not paying BK. “I will challenge the Minister and I will work with him every day” Tiwari told the media, adding that “we had a meeting with the AG and he said he’ll find a solution to the problem.

But after the AG’s meeting with us, Bulkan has changed his tune” the Chairman said.

Tiwari also took a blow at Bulkan’s logging company, noting that, “He has to tell the country that his company is in receivership, not me; I’m not in receivership; his company the previous Government took to court.”

“I’m willing to take the Minister on for him to show me where I’m dishonest, where I owe people, and whatever I did wrong. He must say if I am corrupt or what I’m doing wrong here. Thirty something days in office but he knows it’s a ticking time bomb” the BK Group of companies chairman said, adding that “he [Bulkan] came with revenge from a year and a half ago.”

The Minister’s final response to these claims was that, “he [Tiwari] is creating his own sets of rules.”

President charges Private Sector to lead Guyana’s economic growth

By Gary Eleazar THE local private sector is yet to assume its role as the ultimate engine of economic growth in Guyana, as much of the nation’s economy is still driven by Government spending and initiatives.

This was the reality conceded by Chairman of the Private Sector Commissioner (PSC), Ramesh Persaud, but a reality which Head of State President David Granger is looking to reverse, as he believes the private sector should be playing the lead role in terms of economic growth.

The Private Sector Commission yesterday held its long overdue 2014 Annual General Meeting (AGM) with President David Granger as the featured speaker, who updated local business chiefs and their representative body on his Guyana 20/20 vision—2015 to 2020, the natural life of the 11th Parliament, which he has since promised to neither prorogue or prematurely dissolve.

He firstly recognised the efforts of the PSC in recent years, particularly advocacy for the holding of Local Government Elections and efforts against the prorogation of Parliament, though to no avail.

The President spoke of his vision of a Guyana of strong institutions, such as a National Assembly, free from executive interference and an independent judiciary.

He told the PSC of his plans at having strong and efficient law enforcement and regulatory agencies as well as a highly educated work force.

According to President Granger, as part of his Guyana 20/20 plan, “I would like to see a reformed, refinanced University of Guyana so we can be proud of our graduates.”

The President lamented the fact that some corporations locally would have to actually train UG graduates.

Outlining his vision of an educated workforce meant to drive the private sector, he reminded of his proposed one laptop per teacher initiative.

The President said, laptops are in fact tools that should not be treated as toys to be given out like Christmas gifts.

“I see them as important tools in the economic development of this country, I see the internet, I see the information superhighway as being an entitlement of all Guyanese not a privilege of the few, of the rich, of an elite.”

The President made it clear Guyana will not anytime in its near future have a university campus in each of its ten regions and as such it is the internet that will have to be used to link students.

“The internet must link us, link our population, link our students together,” he told the PSC gathering.

Expanding on his vision for Guyana to the business com-

munity, the President said his Administration will be focusing heavily also on infrastructure given its direct correlation to Guyana’s development.

“Infrastructure is important in developing a country which is bigger than England and Scotland combined, we cannot develop our abundant resources, our natural resources withPSC Chairman Ramesh Persaud

out better infrastructure…“I would like to see an economic plan which makes better use of our resources,” according to President Granger.

The President used the opportunity to lament to the business leaders present the mass export of natural resources such as bauxite on large barges, when in fact; more manufacturing could have been taken on by Guyanese corporations.

“Just as we can welcome Americans and Brazilians and Canadians and Chinese and Russians to exploit our natural resources, we could have Guyanese opening big businesses, we could have Guyanese exploiting manganese and bauxite and timber as well.”

According to the President, villages in Guyana must also be seen as economic centres advocating a resuscitation of the village economy at the cottage level.

Turning his attention to ‘green energy’, the President said it is his belief that Guyana can achieve much more in this field.

The President said he does not envisage solar panels being distributed as gifts to hinterland residents at elections time, “little tokens and trinkets” as he put it.

Granger said it is his vision instead to see the realisation of solar panel farms generating electricity on a large scale.

The President said he envisions solar and hydro power lending to the development of the local manufacturing sector.

On the matter of hydro power, he said there are more than 100 potential sites that could generate hydro power.

He suggested a number of smaller hydro power plants at numerous locations as against the development of a single large facility, seen as some as the ‘proverbial silver bullet.’

According to President Granger, his vision for Guyana in the coming five years is a simple one, one devoid of plans to build any skyscrapers and five star hotels, “just a good life for all Guyanese.”

He said Government looks forward to the Private Sector led economic summit to be held in a matter of days and said, ‘I look to see that in the shortest possible time, that we all come together, politicians, business, trade unions, non-governmental organisations, religious organisations and hammer out a new social contract among Guyanese people taking us over the next five years.”

President Granger told the business leaders, “I see that much of the change that will take place in this country over the next five years will be led not by a state sector...we see the private sector fulfilling the obligation of developing private enterprise.”

The President’s remarks were preceded by the Private Sector Chairman, who, in delivering his annual report to the PSC, also used the occasion to call on the Administration to urgently address a number of critical concerns affecting the Private Sector.

He spoke to the need for faster more reliable internet service in Guyana, cheaper electricity, policies that promote fair play and equal opportunities, as well as a more efficient service being provided from the Public Sector.

Persaud also used the opportunity to welcome the recent passage of the amendments to the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism laws, failing which could have seen Guyana attracting possible economic sanctions which would have inherently adversely affected the local business community.

He recalled that in early 2014, immense efforts were expended on the part of the PSC to get the political parties to agree to the passage of the legislative amendments, “so that Guyana could be compliant to international standards.”

The PSC Chairman, as such, remarked positively on the passage of the legislation and used the opportunity to “urge the business community to ensure full adherence and we trust that Government would ensure the full operationalisation and implementation of this legislation.”

Granger lobbies British Gov’t to restore $1B Security Reform Programme

By Gary Eleazar THE David Granger Administration has approached the British Government to restore the $1B Security Sector Reform Programme (SSRP) which was rejected by the Previous Peoples Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Government, while in office, during Bharrat Jagdeo’s tenure.

Sitting Head of State, David Granger, yesterday made the announcement as he addressed the Private Sector Commission’s (PSC) Annual General Meeting held over from last year, in the Savannah Suite of the Pegasus Hotel.

Granger was joined by several business leaders for the PSC’s annual event, and was at the time speaking to his 20/20 vision for Guyana,

one with a more stable, business and investment friendly environment.

British High Commissioner to Guyana, Gregory Quinn, who was also on hand for the AGM subsequently told media operatives it is too early to pronounce on any of the details on the resuscitation of the SSRP, since it was still early in the process.

Granger told the local business leaders frankly, “this country has to be safe.”

He pointed to the diaspora and a reluctance to return to Guyana. He cited as example, “when people overseas hear about pirates killing fishermen, when they hear about miners being robbed.”

The President said when persons in the diaspora read of a person being shot at, while returning from a wedding, funeral or such like event, “they don’t want to

come to Guyana.”

According to President Granger, “Many people in the diaspora don’t want to come to Guyana because they feel they going to get killed and we need to deal with the public security problem.”

As such, as announced

by President Granger, “I have approached the British Government to restore the Security Sector Reform Action Plan which the previous Administration threw out the window.”

His announcement was

greeted with a resounding applause from the business representatives.

“We are part of the continental land mass and we are not going to get rid of transnational crime overnight,” according to President Granger.

He pointed to Guyana’s more than 2,500 kilometers of border, which he said is susceptible and vulnerable to gun running and narco-trafficking.

The President spoke too of better public servants, and what he called ‘un-bribable’ law enforcement officials across the spectrum, including those in the Guyana Police Force, Customs, Guyana Forestry Commission and other such like organisations.

High Commissioner Quinn spoke briefly with media operatives following the announcement by President Granger and said he is certain the funds would be made

available to the Guyana Government towards realising the implementation of the SSRP. He recalled that during the mid-2000’s, his then predecessor had begun the process at the then request of the Guyana Government.

The High Commissioner at the time initiated the process broadly on the SSRP, which led to the fruition of an action plan in 2007, but cancelled in 2009, “because the then Government thought it didn’t meet the requirements that they wanted on it and we couldn’t agree on a way forward.

According to High Commissioner Quinn, what President Granger, “has asked us to do, is look at resuscitating the agreement from 2007, as cancelled in 2009.”

Updating media operatives on progress thus far, High Commissioner Quinn

01 08 05

said they will have to firstly reassess that 2007 agreement as to its relevance, since it is in fact eight years old.

He opined that the agreement will more than likely need updating. High Commissioner Quinn said the British Administration will now have to begin to address how it will meet the request made by President Granger.

High Commissioner Quinn did disclose that some aspects of the original SSRP were in fact implemented through the sustained bilateral relationship.

He held back from naming any deadlines since, back in the United Kingdom, they will now have to look for the personnel and resources related to the original SSRP agreement which was discarded along with a new assessment that would have to be conducted.

Pope ‘plans to chew coca leaves during Bolivia visit’ (BBC News) POPE Francis has requested to chew coca leaves during his forthcoming visit to Bolivia, according to Bolivian Culture Minister Marko Machicao.

Coca, the raw ingredient for cocaine, has been used in the Andes for thousands of years to combat altitude sickness and as a mild stimulant.

Mr Machicao said the government offered the Pope coca tea and the pontiff had “specifically requested” to chew coca.

The Vatican has not yet commented. The Pope travels to Bolivia on 8 July.

Coca leaves were declared an illegal substance under the 1961 UN convention on narcotic drugs.

But the growing of coca leaves for religious and medicinal purposes is legal and licensed in Bolivia.

Chewing of coca leaves is a centuries-old tradition in the Andes, where it is used to combat altitude sickness

Many indigenous Bolivians consider the coca bush a sacred plant and chewing its leaves or brewing them into a tea is very popular.

Bolivia’s 2009 constitution even declared the coca leaf “a cultural patrimony”.

President Evo Morales, who used to be a coca grower, has long campaigned to decriminalise the consumption of coca leaves.

If the Pope were to chew coca leaves during his visit to the Andean country it would provide strong backing for Mr Morales’s campaign.

“We will be awaiting the Holy Father with the sacred coca leaf,” Mr Machicao said.

The Pope’s visit to Bolivia is part of a larger tour of Latin American countries which will also take him to Ecuador and Paraguay.

U.S. TV network NBC fires Donald Trump over Mexico comments (BBC News) U.S. TV network NBC is cutting ties with Donald Trump over “recent derogatory statements” that the veteran businessman made about immigrants.

NBC said the company would now not be airing the Miss U.S.A. and Miss Universe pageants that are co-owned by Mr Trump.

Earlier this month, Mr Trump accused Mexicans of bringing drugs and crime to the U.S. as he announced he was seeking the Republican presidential nomination.

He has insisted that he was criticising U.S. lawmakers, not Mexican people.

Time to realise the true potential of community tourism – TPDco head (Jamaica Observer) EXECUTIVE Director of the Tourism Product Development Company Limited (TPDCo), Dennis Hickey, has urged communities to identify niche products and offerings in their areas and get involved in community-based tourism in order to reap attractive economic gains.

“Notwithstanding the challenges (faced by some, if not all communities) there are many opportunities and communities must recognise the gold mine on which they are sitting. Communities must seek to package and sell what is unique to the area, be it cuisine, trails, ecosystems, an event, culture or heritage,” Hickey encouraged.

He was delivering the keynote address at the official launch of the Jamaica Social Investment Fund (JSIF) Boot Camp/Workshop for

Community Based Tourism Enterprises (CBTEs) at the Sunset Beach Resort and Spa, in Montego Bay, last Thursday.

The boot camp, which ran from June 25 to 28, was organised through the Ministry of Tourism and Entertainment, in conjunction with JSIF. This collaboration has seen the development of the Rural Economic Development Initiative (REDI), which is responsible for training at the camp.

Hickey said that community tourism is a growing and important phenomenon, and will help members of the community to benefit through improved livelihoods.

“Communities must enlighten themselves, as you are doing here today, and invest in themselves in order to reap the benefits that tourism has to offer. I believe that strength is in unity and

community members must come together to realise the potential of their area,” Hickey emphasised.

He cited recent research carried out by the Ministry of Tourism, which indicated that the profile of the visitor is changing, as no longer do tourists just want to settle for “sun, sand and sea”, but they desire to know about the culture of a destination, the people and to have a real experience.

“With all this in mind, we must be responsive to the needs of the market and not only encourage, but support these entities that can appeal to this new demographic. Government, through the TPDCo, has a special role to play in the development of community tourism ... and will act as facilitators to get you going,” the executive director advised.

EDITORIAL

The travails of home-ownership IS owning a new home a dream come true? Not when you are dealing with contractors within Guyana’s construction industry. The name of the game is rip-off.

The housing programme of the last Government is probably its lodestone initiative since its assumption to office in October of 1992.

What was once an unreachable, unattainable dream for most Guyanese became a very concrete reality (pun not intended).

A massive housing drive enabled thousands of working-class Guyanese to become homeowners, with all its attendant benefits.

The Government went several steps further to create enabling synergies where ordinary citizens, with no savings, and no hope of accruing any, especially while paying the very steep rentals being demanded by landlords, could access low-interest loans to build their homes upon the acquisition of titles and/or transports to their precious plots of land.

But then the horror story be-

gins. Some aspiring homeowners have opted to acquire pre-constructed homes in schemes where developers have entered into partnership with the Government, which provides the land on which low-cost houses are supposed to be built for sale to potential homeowners.

But this has time and again proven to fructify in less than desired expectations in many instances. The horror stories are many: Walls separating from the main building, with cracks appearing at different pressure points; plumbing coming apart; zinc sheets improperly secured.

The list is endless, and at times mind-boggling. For those who choose to build from scratch, according to specified requirements, well, the astronomical labour costs belie the service provided, unless one has the time, and the knowledge, to personally supervise every aspect of construction.

Persons who have taken loans have found themselves with a few walls and a depleted loan

account. Contractors purchase the materials, but often, through pre-arrangement, effect delivery to another job site. Of course, someone inexperienced in measuring lumber and other material would be none the wiser, because they most often accept the receipts tendered at face value.

Carpenters and labourers are also diverted to other job sites while on the clock, so, along with materials, the homeowner is also short-changed on the labour, for which they have to pay astronomical amounts.

While it is understood that the Government has limitations to its funds and capacities, there needs to be instituted protective mechanisms that will ensure that the dishonest actions of builders do not derail the Government’s laudable efforts in the provision of State lands to facilitate home-ownership by the poor and vulnerable in society.

The law currently provides for a cause of action, breach of contract or negligence, in the event that a contractor does not

GUYANA

deliver a reasonable quality of service for which he receives financial compensation.

However, the judiciary and its adjunct arms have proven to be traditionally slothful and, given the oftentimes pecuniary circumstances of the victims, the scurrilous actions of the home builders have almost always been allowed to go unpunished.

There is dire need for some agency to work along with the Government and the New Building Society to institute a programme where reliable, affordable, and knowledgeable labour is provided to those who access mortgages.

Maybe the skills development component of the Ministry of Education could work along with a public/private partnering programme to create opportunities for youths to garner income while acquiring life skills.

The Guyana Prison Service, under the guidance of then Officer-in-Charge of the Georgetown Prisons, Dale Erskine, had initiated a programme whereby

skilled convicts work for an income. The Service has been providing blocks, linen, and uniquely beautiful furniture and cabinetry made from Guyana’s hardwoods and indigenous material.

Along with Food for the Poor, Habitat for Humanity, and other such organisations, an advisory and support group could be established for guidance and assistance, in order to ensure curtailment of the prevalent syndrome of dishonesty by housing developers and construction contractors.

This current Government has promised to take the housing drive to new levels, but in its push toward further development of the sector, it needs to do so with a human face, recognising the vulnerability of the new homeowners to the predators in the building trade, and establish protective mechanisms that will ensure that owning one’s own home remains a cherished dream and not become a nightmare.

A crying need for dedicated criminologists EDITOR, over the last six years, since my return from the U.S.A., I have been noticing a huge void in the Public Security (formerly the Home Affairs) Ministry.

The void is the lack of Criminologists; people who are trained to understand crime and criminals; individuals who study the making of laws and the breaking of laws and the society’s reaction to the breaking of laws.

There seems to be no dearth in the providence of monies, tactics and formula to best equip the Guyana Police Force. Over my time as a remigrant to Guyana, I have noticed just about every bit of politically correct and militarily appropriate manoeuvers being implemented to stem the ever growing tide of crime and recidivism (the returning to prison) in Guyana. We have increased the size of the Force; we have teamed up

with the U.S.A. , Canada and England to provide training to our men and women in the Force. In fact, to turn around our prospect in the Police Force, we even secured the services of Mr. Bernie Kerik, the one-time heavy-roller, scandal-riddled former New York Police Department (NYPD) commissioner. A little over a year ago, we spent millions to train a SWAT unit.

However, what continues to be noticeably absent is a proactive plan that is crafted to deal with the offenders themselves. Incarceration alone will not work. Indeed, it has never worked. Guyana needs professionals who are specially trained in the field of Criminology. And the Government needs to have some of these persons at their disposal.

Politicians, Police and Prison Officers have their roles to play; however, nei-

ther category of persons is qualified to pronounce on the mentality and modus operandi of the offender. Therefore, the politicians, the police and the prison officers must be supplemented in their tasks by other professionals who bring in the other needed piece of the puzzle. This is where the Criminologists and their expertise come in.

It is very obvious that something has been long missing in the security sector in Guyana. Over the last 10 years, there has been no protracted reduction in crime, even in light of the fact that some of the ‘criminals’ were being killed by the police. It is very evident, to the objective observer, that there is something in the mind of the offender and potential offender, which is driving them to the point where they are prepared to die, in the execution of their trade. There must be a

criminogenic explanation for this kind of behaviour.

What has also become trendy in Guyana is the flippant manner in which these offenders are willing to kill, in the execution of their trade.

To this, too, there must be a criminogenic explanation.

Editor, I am therefore suggesting that this new Administration use their newness and begin to look into building a structured programme, aimed at reaching out to the offender population, in an effort to provide the citizens of Guyana with some rationale for this maddening crime epidemic we have been experiencing over the years.

I am out on the streets every day, working with both persons from the offender population and the victims of crimes. As a member of the Diaspora community, I also receive feedback from those overseas. Several of

our overseas Guyanese are anticipating a reduction in the crime situation.

It is my opinion that the Guyanese public (both locally and abroad) would not object to monies being spent on programmes and projects that have the potential of stemming the tide of our crime situation in Guyana. I therefore suggest that the Ministry of the Presidency or the Ministry of Public Security begin to consider securing the services of a professional in this field; someone who is familiar with the art of criminogenic best practices.

There are the Prison Management Board and the Alternative Sentencing Board; their names speak for themselves. I think there needs to be a team that is tasked with personally interfacing with current and former inmates, for the sole purpose of formulating an agenda that will realise the

reduction of crime and recidivism in Guyana. That team should be answerable to the Minister of Public Security or the Office of The Presidency.

The recommendations of that team should form the basis for a wider offender rehabilitation programme; and that team should remain in place until such time as the populace is convinced that the authorities have a handle on the crime situation.

So while I laud the proactive anti-crime approach of His Excellency, President David Granger and that of Minister Khemraj Ramjattan our 2nd Vice President, I think that there remains a void that can only be filled by persons who are trained at interacting, in a rehabilitative manner, with our offender community.

CRIME AND UNDERAGE DRINKING I WOULD first like to applaud the new Minister of Public Security for the outstanding work done so far, and new vision and direction put forth for the reforming of Guyana’s security sector.

The devastating impacts of crime on foreign investment, migration, morale of country, among others have been documented by many observers in the past.

I however would like to encourage the Minister to look into an area that has been neglected for far too long in Guyana, and has now become our dominant culture and one which I believe has an inextricable link to crime in this country; and that is underage drinking.

As a young Guyanese, and one who resides in what is considered a low-income

area in the countryside of Guyana, the effects of this phenomenon is more profound and evident, due to obvious impacts one can see taking place by this culture which unfortunately has been allowed to flourish and get out of hand.

Mr. Minister, today in Guyana and virtually in all locations where alcohol is consumed or sold, one can find the presence of underage persons (persons under 18 years of age) either buying or consuming alcohol. Many bar/shop owners, particularly in rural areas of Guyana, accept this behaviour because many underage drinkers account for a good percentage of their revenue, thus the reluctance to change.

Persons who acquire a liquor licence should be aware

that selling alcohol to minors is a violation, and risk having their licence taken away.

Almost zero of these establishments practise checking the ID cards of suspected underage persons, and virtually none have “clearly visible signs” (which should be issued by a Governmental entity) of the infraction of selling alcohol to a minor, as typically done in the U.S. (also applies for tobacco as well).

As a person who lived in the U.S. for quite some time, I am appalled at the apparent lax in this law, and the type of culture that now dominates Guyanese society. This is an issue that U.S. States and Federal Government take very seriously, because they recognise the dangers that exist.

It does not take an expert

to observe what lies ahead for a society/community that continues to allow this behaviour to continue. Teenage drinking is, quite frankly, something that no business establishment should be encouraging.

Persons living in these communities where this trend is more evident can testify to the problems that occur when underage persons consume alcohol, particularly in the rural areas, which is most of Guyana, by and large.

It is the Number One contributor of violence, noise nuisance and lawless behaviour to law-abiding citizens in these communities, and many Guyanese are simply held hostage to this phenomenon.

Guyana is now at a crossroads for her survival after

decades of rot and decay.

What we do today will determine where we as society stand tomorrow. Like many ills which start innocuously, this one was allowed to fester and become the elephant in the room, which hardly

anyone talks about.

It is time for change; and on that note, I ask that this issue be looked at and taken seriously by the new Administration.

D. PERSAUD

Registrar of Lands clears the air – on mismanagement allegations IN response to the article captioned “Supreme Court & Land Registries need professional management” in the June 24, 2015 edition of the Kaieteur News, I wish to inform the “Name withheld person” that he/she has written utter rubbish with regards to Land Registry. That person is totally misinformed, and needs to take a seat when reading what I have to say.

The status of Land Registry is as follows: 1. I have signed off on all “In Order” transfers for the year 2014. Many have been uplifted by the respective

lawyers.

2. Transfers filed for 2015 are being checked so far to April and are still being checked.

3. Mortgages filed for 2015 are being processed for June.

4. Corrections returned to Land Registry by the respective lawyers are being processed for August 2014.

5. Ministry of Housing transfers are being processed for 30th January, 2014. For this Ministry, we have 8,391 transfers filed for 2014.

6. Applications for Lost Grosse/Mutilated Grosse and Certificates of Sale are being processed for June 2014.

7. As for “Out of order’ mat-

ters, the Land Registry does have from 2007 to 2012. I have sent notices to the lawyers with minimal response; so I’ve resorted to advertising same in the Chronicle Newspapers, again with the same minimal response. I have stopped this, as it is costing the Land Registry thousands of dollars, and we are getting nowhere.

8. Customers visit this office and complain that they have paid off their lawyers, who inform them that the matters are filed with the Land Registry. That is indeed so, but when we inform them that the matters are out-of-order,

and that the lawyer needs to do the corrections, they sometimes take the queries or have the lawyer’s clerks come in and they do take the queries but the matter is left unattended and I GET THE BLAME. Is that fair? I am ready to expose all and sundry, as I am doing now.

This “Name withheld person” also said I am arrogant; I suggest that that person Google this word, along with honesty, sincerity, integrity and principle. I operate within that framework.

Sunday’s freak storm damages GPL’s primary and secondary networks - company strengthens emergency service three-fold to effect repairs

By Shirley Thomas THE Guyana Power and Light Inc. has announced that the freak storm which hit the coastlands in Demerara and Berbice on Sunday wreaked extensive damage to its primary and secondary networks, resulting in outages and fluctuating voltage of varying durations.

A GPL release issued yesterday announced that twenty-one of the company’s poles had been broken in Demerara, while five have thus far been recorded broken in Berbice. Six poles have also been confirmed leaning precariously in Demerara, while one has been reported in that condition in Berbice.

Stressing the extent and gravity of the damage done, the GPL release said: “While the major effect of the stormy weather was the uprooting/breaking of both primary and secondary poles, the network was also affected by roof sheets and trees falling onto it.”

Albeit, the GPL has assured that emergency crews have embarked on, and continue to effect, repairs to the network.

The release reports that much success has been achieved since Sunday evening, as several communities have been repowered. The GPL credits this feat to its strengthening

emergency services by almost triple the usual number.

Additionally, GPL received machinery support from the Management of Demerara Harbour Bridge, for which it extends profound appreciation.

REGION FIVE The confirmed most critical report emanating from Berbice, management has said, is a broken pole at Ithaca, West Bank Berbice. That pole supports a critical transmission line linking East and West Berbice (Regions Five and Six), thereby affecting East Berbice residents.

“But the technical work required to replace this pole could not have been executed on Sunday, due to the location of the pole and unfavourable weather conditions. However, works are ongoing and electricity should be restored by 18:00 hrs today [Monday] to those affected customers, the GPL release has assured.

REGION FOUR “Additionally, crews are currently working along the East Bank Demerara corridor replacing damaged line hardware,

securing leaning poles, and replacing broken ones. This, too, is likely to be completed by 18:00 hrs on Monday,” GPL promised.

Outlining the GPL approach to emergencies, the release said: “Our approach to emergencies has been segmented into high-risk and low-risk, for which we have distinct skilled crews to address same. Numerous crews are currently engaged in mopping up operations and addressing isolated cases where individual consumers may have had service interruption caused by the high winds; while the very highly skilled crews are engaged in pole replanting and fixing damaged line hardware.”

As work progresses on Monday and Tuesday, the Guyana Power and Light is soliciting consumers’ patience, and is asking that they exercise due caution around fallen poles and lines.

“If you are experiencing abnormal voltage, please power off your main switch and call our emergency hotline.

Our Emergency Services telephone numbers are: Berbice 333-2186; Demerara: 225-4015 or 225-4016,” the release concluded.

Killers of slain Port Mourant businessman left cash, jewels behind - mother claims death was a hit

By Jeune VanKeric TWO men are in custody of Berbice sleuths as the police continue their investigations into the execution of Port Mourant businessman, Rampersaud Shivcharran, a United States citizen who had returned to his homeland about ten years ago.

Incidentally, the suspects are siblings whom investigators claim had owed the businessman a large sum of money. However, mother of the deceased, Chetra Shivcharran, opined that her son’s death was ‘a hit’ which was orchestrated by his wife, who has since returned to Guyana after leaving for the United States a few days before the General and Regional Elections.

Teenager drowns while attempting to swim across Cozier Canal THE body of 19-year-old Adrian Albert of Cozier, Lower Pomeroon River, Essequibo, was early yesterday discovered by farmers floating in the Cozier canal.

Suspected to be under the influence of alcohol, the teen had, late Sunday night, reportedly tried to swim across the Cozier canal, which is linked to the Pomeroon River, to get to his home; but ended up being drowned.

Reports are that the teenager had called several times for a friend who lives on the opposite bank to come with his boat for him, but no one came to his rescue, although other persons living in the area had heard his appeals.

He then decided to swim across the canal, but was unsuccessful.

His body was taken to the Charity Hospital mortuary, but police investigations are in progress.

(Rajendra Prabhulall)

her 06:00 hrs arrival on Monday, has however disputed allegations that she had hired a ‘hit’. She said she used to speak to her husband daily via Skype, and everything was well. She noted that since their relationship commenced in 1996, she had never found favour with her in-laws, who would always berate her.

She explained that she had travelled overseas with their eldest child to have him enroll in the U.S. Army, and the procedure of doing so was not ‘a walk in the park’.

Rampersaud Shivcharran, called Rakesh, was killed one day before his 42nd birthday. He succumbed after two armed men fatally wounded him at the Debbie’s Grocery and Off-License Liquor Shop which he managed at Port Mourant, Corentyne, Berbice. The incident occurred just after 19:00 hrs on Sunday, moments after the now deceased man had sold a female customer and another who were drinking a bottle of Banko wine.

The unmasked men entered the premises, and one ordered the customers to exit the building as his accomplice scuffled with his victim before fatally wounding him to the

chest.

The entire scenario was witnessed by the victim’s two children Hemalia, aged 9 years, and Joshua, aged 8 years, who earlier had been seated in a hammock when they saw their father being shot, before he fell backwards.

They quickly went into hiding until the men left the premises.

Thereafter, they ran out of the yard and made contact with security guard Heslyn Peters, who contacted the police.

Ranks recovered a gold chain from around the neck of the deceased, besides a quantity of cash, found nearby, and the spent shell of a 12-gauge bullet.

The body of Ramnarine Shivcharran was taken to the Port Mourant Hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead. His remains are currently at the Ramoo Funeral Home awaiting a post-mortem.

His mother Chetra Shivcharran has lamented the fact that although her son’s home had been fitted with several security cameras, sleuths were unable to retrieve any footage as the area had been experiencing power outages over the weekend.

Investigations are, however, continuing.

Ganja in crotch conviction earns motorist three years in jail MOTORIST Vybirt Balgobin had on his person 180 grammes of cannibas sativa for the purpose of trafficking on June 14 last.

Police traffic ranks, however, stopped him in a routine check as he cycled along Garrison Road in Fort Canje, Berbice.

His suspicious behaviour caused the traffic ranks to search him. A haversack which he had on his back was checked, but nothing of evidential value was unearthed.

It was not until he had been escorted to the Central Police Station and was subjected to a body search that leaves, seeds and stems of the marijuana plant were found in Ziplock bags concealed in his crotch.

Appearing before New Amsterdam Magistrate Sherdel

Isaacs-Marcus the 35-year-old defendant had initially pleaded not guilty to the trafficking charge.

Represented by Attorney-at-law Horatio Edmonson, Balgobin professed to be an ardent church goer and the main provider for his three children.

Nevertheless, after a trial, he was found guilty as charged.

He was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment; and in addition to the custodial penalty, was fined $30,000 with an alternative of 60 days’ imprisonment.

Police Sergeant Phillip Sherrif had led evidence to prove that the defendant had in his possession portions of the illegal plant when the police had stopped him in their routine search. (Jeune VanKeric)

Bakewell under fire in Lusignan for mildewed products - company says it has return policy before shelf-life expires

By Leroy Smith

While Sukhdeo operates his grocery shop at his home and has been doing that for some three years, he pointed out that he had his establishment in Annandale and during that period he had been a customer of Bakewell.

“I called the guy and talk to him and he said he will talk to his boss then get onto me Tuesday, by then the bread will go more bad. I spoke to the salesman and when I wait until Tuesday he will come and tell me something else, take it in there and there will be no bread coming back to me, no answer and when I ask I am usually told a whole heap of sad story as they always do,” he contended.

The proprietress and proprietor of another shop in the area said that they too are experiencing the same problem with the company. They are of the view that while the company has what appears to be a ‘no return or exchange policy’ for small establishments, the bigger establishments do enjoy that arrangement.

“When you asked them to change it they saying that they do not change back bread, sometimes they use to do it and now they still do it for some people,” the proprietress who asked not be named explained, although she did give her address as Section B Grass Field, Lusignan, East Coast Demerara.

The woman’s husband who is also a part-owner of the business opined that what may be responsible for the problem could be the packaging and sealing off of the bags while the bread and tennis rolls are still hot rather than leaving them to cool.

SHOP owners in the Lusignan area are not pleased with the level of customer service being offered by Bakewell Inc. The business persons are of the view that Bakewell is deliberately dumping unwholesome bread and tennis rolls on them without any consideration for the damage it causes to their small establishments.

Angad Sukhdeo who operates a grocery shop at 229 Lusignan, Grass Field, East Coast Demerara explained yesterday that he has been having a hard time getting the company to take back their mildew products which are sometimes dumped on him.

His most recent case was a delivery of bread and tennis rolls from the company on Friday last week which by Sunday morning were found with mildew and were rejected by customers.

The man said that usually the products are expected to last for one week without any signs of mildew but in recent times they have been showing mildew in less than three days.

However, the company has been reluctant to refund monies paid by him or to even replace the spoilt items.

“When we call them and give them this bread, they take it to their company and do not give us any replacement, no result, no answer. Every time a portion of bread spoil on you, be it bread or tennis rolls they coming to uplift the bread and take it away and they don’t give you any satisfaction,” the businessman stated.

He explained to this newspaper that he makes a profit of approximately $20 on each bread or tennis roll sold and when the issue of mildewed products are discovered and the company reclaims it without offering an exchange or money back, he suffers the financial loss.

Sukhdeo added that he informed the company in the past that he was going to approach the media about this unsatisfactory situation if they failed to address it in the right manner but that warning has so far gone unheeded.

The businessman also noted that the problem was not being experienced by him alone as he The items the shopkeeper expects Bakewell to exchange as soon as possible pointed us to one other shopkeeper in the area who confirmed that the issue is also faced by Meanwhile, contacted yesterday afternoon, General Manhis establishment. ager of Bakewell, Rajin Ganga told this newspaper that the Sukhdeo told the Chronicle that another shop in the area company will be looking into the concerns of the customers. was denied deliveries from one sales crew from the company after they pointed out the problem to them and demanded that RETURN POLICY they inform their management of the development. The man said that although that establishment still enjoys deliveries The senior manager also stated that the company has been from Bakewell, it gets its supplies from another sales truck advising customers in the past that they should not take more that goes directly to them.

Manslaughter accused Timothy Noel freed by jury after self-defence argument

By George Barclay A MIXED jury at the Demerara Assizes last Friday found 25-year-old Timothy Noel of Georgetown not guilty of unlawfully killing Delwin Mc Queen on June 11, 2008.

The freed man was said to be 16-years-old at the time of the alleged offence.

The prosecution led by Mercedes Thompson had accused Noel of inflicting the injury that caused death following an argument between the two youths when the accused armed himself with an 8-foot piece of timber with nails and inflicted the injury that caused death.

But defence counsel Hewly Griffith and Lawrence Harris contended that on the day in question, the deceased

was the aggressor and had attacked the older youth with a knife causing him to run away.

According to Griffith, the younger man was running after Noel with the knife when Noel picked up the piece of timber along the roadside and pelted it at the accused while acting in self-defence.

The timber with the nails landed on the head of Mc Queen, causing him to suffer death from paralysis some days later.

Police investigating the crime arrested and charged the accused with murder. However, at his trial he led a defence of self-defence and was found not guilty by the jury.

The accused was discharged by presiding judge, Justice Brassington Reynolds. The jury took two hours to reach their unanimous verdict.

Businessman Angad Sukhdeo speaking with the Chronicle on Monday

bread and tennis rolls from the company than they can sell off.

Mr. Ganga said that the company does have a return policy but one of the reasons some customers are not permitted to return items is when the company finds that the items were kept for an exceptionally long period on the shelf without being sold.

He added that the company has a feature on its bags that tells when bread was dispatched to the store for a particular area and once those returned items are not within that batch or do not represent a batch that is experiencing mildewing before the shelf-life expires, then the company cannot take the items back.

Ganga reminded that customers need to also store the items away from direct sunlight and avoid getting the bags wet since that too can result in the bread or tennis rolls getting mildew.

On the issue of one shop owner being refused items from a particular delivery crew, the General Manager dismissed those claims stating that the company has an overlapping system in its delivery of items since in most cases there are too many shops and establishments in areas to be serviced by one delivery crew.

Alleged abuse of GUYOIL credit facility…

Rohee challenges Harmon to be a man and produce the evidence

“BE a man! Be a man and publish the information which you claim you have!” This challenge was issued by General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party, Mr. Clement Rohee, to Minister of the State, Mr. Joseph Harmon, in regard to providing the evidence, including names of officials of the former Administration and their relatives who were allegedly still taking their vehicles for "free gas".

At that party’s weekly press conference, held at Freedom House, Rohee stressed that Harmon needs to provide evidence that officials of the former Administration and their relatives were allegedly still taking their vehicles for “free gas” although the PPP/C was no longer in Government.

A very agitated and admittedly “disgusted” Rohee explained that his party would not tolerate Harmon or anyone else from the new APNU+AFC Government making statements against the PPP/C and its members. He noted that if Harmon does not provide the list of names which he claims he has, the PPP/C would seek other avenues to obtain that list, if indeed it exists!

At one of his recent weekly press conferences, Minister Harmon had disclosed that enough evidence exists to conclude that the Guyana Oil Company’s (GUYOIL’s) credit facility for authorised vehicles had been heavily abused.

The Ministry of the Presidency has since asked GUYOIL to submit its invoices along with statements, and has said that persons found guilty of abusing this facility will have to face the consequences.

Harmon has said that Government will ensure that those from the former Administration who accessed the facility along with their family members and friends will pay for the fuel they would have collected.

Rohee says Government misleading Guyanese …on PPP/C stewardship of economy

THE People's Progressive Party (PPP) has said it is appalled that “the Granger-led de facto Administration” is misleading Guyanese into believing that Guyana under the PPP/C Administration experienced a mismanaged economy, increased poverty and crime.

PPP General Secretary, Clement Rohee, during that party’s weekly press conference, expressed the party’s “disgust” at the extent to which the Granger-led de facto Administration is “on the one hand misleading Guyanese into believing that Guyana, under the PPP/C Administration, experienced a mismanaged economy, increased poverty and crime, while on the other hand (is) seeking to portray those who now hold the reins of power as politically spotless and lily-white, compared to others.”

“The PPP/C,” he said, “is convinced that the current anti-PPP/C smear campaign

is a continuation of the vicious campaign waged by the APNU+AFC (A Partnership for National Unity and the Alliance For Change), (and) is (being) supported by sections of the media.”

Rohee said, “The campaign is aided and assisted by the now unmasked anti-PPP sections of the media, namely the Kaieteur, Stabroek and Inews, who continue to lap up rumours, hearsay and allegations, reporting them as if they were true; thus throwing objectivity, balance and fairness through the window.”

Rohee explained: “It is not by coincidence that the highly publicised ‘Clean Up My Country’ campaign is running parallel to the Coalition's ‘clean-up the Government’ campaign.”

He noted that, unlike in the past, Government agencies and departments are being corralled into dragging out the ‘Clean Up My Country’ campaign is a clear indication that the APNU+AFC

Coalition's agenda is to extend these two campaigns far into their tenure, which is “characterised by uncertainty and untenability”.

“Since the members and supporters of the PPP/C are either sufferers of or (are) not involved in these two politically-orchestrated campaigns, they (the campaigns) will only serve to compound the widespread feelings of hurt by thousands after being cheated at the May 11 Elections,” Rohee surmised.

Rohee said the PPP/C warns that the current political and economic situation is fraught with serious dangers for the future of our country, and the solution will not be found in the current confrontational approach adopted by the APNU+AFC. On the contrary, he advised, what is required is an end to the witch-hunting and the arbitrary dismissals of public servants, as well as the reign of intimidation and fear now gripping our country.

Regional health conference hears…

Suicide appears to be a ‘culture’ among East Indians - in Guyana, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago

By Tajeram Mohabir WITH a high death rate from suicide among East Indians in Guyana, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago, it appears to be a culture among East Indians to escape their woes.

Some 80 percent of persons who commit suicide in Guyana are East Indians.

And even with a national death rate of 44.2 deaths per 100,000, the highest in the world, it is estimated that unreported suicide in Guyana is 10 percent greater than the reported number of persons who commit the harrowing act.

According to Dr. Indhira

about 20 percent more than reported attempts.

In sister Caricom nation, Trinidad and Tobago, about 1,000 persons attempt suicide every year. The majority of persons who committed or attempted to commit suicide there are poor and single, and the act is due mainly to spousal conflict.

ABOVE GLOBAL AVERAGE Locally, at 44.2 deaths per 100,000, Guyana is way above the global average of 11.4 per 100,000 and the average rate in Latin America and the Caribbean, which stands at 6.1 per cent per

World Health Organisation (WHO) supports the current and widely reported suicide rate, the Ministry of Health says Guyana is not doing that bad, reporting a lower rate at 34.7 per 100,000.

MODT SUSCEPTIBLE Reporting on a study conducted here titled: “Profile of suicidal behaviour in Guyana: A retrospective study from 2010-2012,” Dr. Harry said from a sample of 899 cases (555 actual suicides and 344 attempts), suicide attempts were made mostly by persons between ages of 10 to 29, but troubled persons ages 12 to 18 are most susceptible.

From 2010-2012 some 359 people in Guyana committed suicide by drinking poison Harry, in a joint presentation with Dr. Jorge Balseiro, from 2010-2012 some 667 persons killed themselves.

Speaking at the Caribbean Public Health Agency’s (CARPHA) 60th Health Research Conference at the St George’s University Campus, Grenada, Dr. Singh also noted that unreported suicide attempts is believed to be

100,000.

Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO) Country Representative, Dr. Williams Adu-Krow told delegates at the conference that though Guyana has the highest deaths by suicide; it has also undertaken the highest number of interventions to tackle the scourge.

But while data from the

80 PERCENT EAST INDIANS Those who actually commit the act are between ages 20 to 49, 80 percent of whom are East Indians, with more men than women taking their lives.

However, in Trinidad and Tobago, which also has a

large East Indian population and a high number of persons committing suicide, more females in that country take their lives than males.

Q u i t e i n c i d e n t a l l y, neighbouring Suriname, which also has a high East Indian population, has the second highest suicide rate in the world, behind Guyana.

RISK FACTORS In Guyana, Dr. Harry identified culture and to a lesser extent religion as common risk factors of suicide.

Other prominent risk factors include acute emotional distress, mental disorder, impulsivity, aggressive tendencies

and adolescent maladaptive disorder, and alcohol abuse.

ACCESS TO POISONOUS SUBSTANCES Like Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago, in Guyana there is easy access to pesticides and herbicides.

These substances are used by the majority of persons who committed or attempted suicide.

The number of Africans attempting to commit suicide is less than half the number compared to East Indians.

Some 60.8 percent of persons in Guyana who attempted suicide are single, 68 percent have no descendants,

52.3 percent had family problems, while 30 percent each are Hindus and Pentecostals.

From 2010-2012 some 359 persons here committed suicide by drinking poison, of which 191 were men. Notably too, some 136 hanged themselves, and of this number 115 were men.

During that period, persons also committed suicide by other means, including shooting themselves, drowning and medication overdose.

Bartica’s Dameon Apple and Sylene Griffith were absolute crowd pleasers

By Alex Wayne IT was a vocal thunderstorm last Saturday when some twenty-five singers battled at Princess Hotel’s Club Next for top spots in the ‘Princess Star Karaoke Competition’.

In round one in the competition the Georgetown singers were on top since most of them had made it successfully into the ranking reserved for the top ten best performers.

Last Saturday, however, Bartica hopeful Dameon Apple shocked the judges by showcasing a standout performance with scintillating melody that had the audience roaring in delight. When the results were handed in, this performer had leapt from number eleven to number two in the competition.

His fellow Bartician, Sylene Griffith also worked up a frenzy as she performed ‘Fire to the Rain’ by Adele. She jumped from number seven in the competition to the number three spot. She delivered a provocative performance that had superb vocals and a tantalising sizzle to lock in the number three

position.

However, Georget o w n ’s L a s h a u n Charles continues to maintain the lead even from the auditions.

Last Saturday it was a fiery showcase as she belted out screeching notes at alarming heights, causing the audience to explode in thunderous applause.

Georgetown’s Aaliyah Maria Rushuevelle maintained her exciting presence, singing her way into the fourth position.

Iodele Gilbert was a ‘vixen suga momma’ on stage as she performed ‘Hallo’

by Beyonce. This ‘curvy sista’ unleashed her tantalising vocals and matched it with saucy moves and much charisma to seal the deal. She certainly set the crowd on fire when she finished her song with the sizzling kiss she shared with her male counterpart on stage.

Gino Fullington representing for the hip-hop group, ‘Young Dellas’ totally surprised everyone by unsheathing his talents to blast the forum like a champion. He literally brought the judges to their feet and the audience whopped in delight.

This performer has now moved from sixteenth place to sixth place.

Petal France is a very consistent contestant and showcased quite nicely to move from number twelve in the first round to number seven.

Marriot Hotel’s Oquela Jones totally disappointed his fans as he started his song quite nicely and went off key for most of what followed.

Nevertheless, the judges placed him at eight place.

Crowd favourite Sharon Martin has moved from among the top ten at round one to number nine last week. DJ Mongo Slade and Junior Corbin both raked in the final spot in the top ten performers.

Blind performer ‘Gillian’ totally

Wildcard save , Sandra King

moved the judges with her soulful rendition to nab the eleventh available spot. Following hot on her heels was hip-hop performer, Kevin Scott. Georgetown’s Sharon Jacob took the thirteenth spot.

‘Julian’ and ‘Rafielle’ from the hip-hop squad followed in the fourteenth and fifteenth spots respectively.

Marriot Hotel’s Lisa Walcott is a very good singer but the judges felt that she would have to learn to control her vocals and watch those pitches. She performed ‘Titanium’ but three judges felt that she screamed almost throughout the entire performance. She secured the sixteenth position as Sean Williams copped the next available spot.

Victoria’s Michael Spencer has lots of work to do to remain in the competition as judges felt his last performance was a bit vague and his backup dancers listless. He for some reason backed the judges for more than half of his presentations, thereby affecting his scores.

He will certainly have to watch his song choices also. Nevertheless, he managed to rake in the final spot for those moving to the third round slated for Saturday, July 04, 2015 at the same location.

The first ‘Wildcard Performer’ Sandra King now has a chance to impress the judges as they felt she has the potential to make an impression.

Amanda Khanai of Georgetown, who was ill, will also be allowed to perform at the third round.

NEW CHANGES The third leg of the contest is dubbed ‘Boot Camp Week’, meaning that judges will be given two supreme powers, being able to ‘fast track’ a contestant two rounds ahead. The other is a ‘Life Line Power’ to overrule all negative votes by other judges to give the contestant a last straw to impress them.

Other privileges by the judges will be announced weekly as the competition continues. Join us each Saturday inside Club Next at Princess International Hotel to share in the excitement of this competition.

Jagdeo as Opposition Leader?

– PPP says neither yes nor no – still undecided about when they will be attending 11th Parliament

By Rebecca Ganesh THE People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) has not denied or accepted that former President Bharrat Jagdeo will be Opposition Leader and they are still undecided when they will be attending the 11th Parliament.

During the Party’s weekly press conference, General Secretary, Clement Rohee explained that the PPP/C’s Regional List was electronically submitted and a hard copy was also filed with the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) yesterday.

“We have identified all 32 candidates for the National Assembly,” Rohee stated but we are still unsure as to when the PPP/C will take up the Opposition seats in Parliament. During his explanation Rohee said that over the weekend GECOM had ‘rejected’ their list of regional candidates after ‘guardian staff’ said that no

senior person was around to accept the document. He added that “we have been able to submit the list electronically.”

Responding to questions from the media, Rohee acknowledged the statements he made during an

interview with a Guyana Times reporter when he stated that former President Bharrat Jagdeo will be leader of the Opposition and it was left up to him to accept the position. “I could confirm that I did give the interview, I could

confirm that I gave the interview to a Guyana Times correspondent and I could confirm that what was in the Guyana Times is what I said.”

When pressed for an answer if he was aware that someone with a conviction cannot enter parliament, Rohee left the question unanswered as it relates to Jagdeo’s ability to enter Parliament. Former President Jagdeo recently appeared in the Whim Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Charlyn Artiga on a charge of making racially divisive statements in contravention of section 139D of The Representation of the People Act, Cap 1:02 and was sent off on his own recognisance.

Jagdeo was widely condemned for these statements in which he used a pejorative term to describe Indo-Guyanese and stated that this was how another section of the populace referred to them, but he gained full support from

the former ruling party for these statements.

The charge carries a punishment of some three years imprisonment along with a fine. Rohee answered, “Why don’t you publish that and let it be contested in the public?”

Meanwhile, the General Secretary refused to give the media a ‘mere glimpse’ into the names expected to sit in Parliament. He noted that the ‘total package’ is expected when the party goes to Parliament, including, “the Deputy Speaker... if it comes to that.”

It was noted that PPP/C Prime Ministerial candidate, newcomer Elizabeth Harper was also among the names being speculated for a senior role in Parliament but when questioned no definite answer was given by the General Secretary.

He said during the press conference when questioned about her again that the “matter will also be revealed.”

St. Rose’s alumni’s week of activities begins – students sensitised on future career paths STUDENTS of St. Rose’s High School were yesterday sensitised about various career paths which they can follow after they

In this final week of the academic year, members

of the alumni took the opportunity to inform the students about career paths and the various studies which they would have to follow, including international relations, health care, law, communication studies and so forth.

Speaking with the Chronicle, two members of the organising body disclosed that this event is the beginning of a packed week of activities which will continue throughout the week with field trips, student interaction, and many

more fun and informative activities.

The alumni will be using this opportunity to give back more to their former school, as they promised to lend their continued support towards its further development.

A release from the Caricom Secretariat Monday said discussions will focus on issues including energy in the context of a proposal for a new institution to lead the Region’s energy agenda; the Caricom Single Market and Economy; technological advancement in Caricom; mechanisms for identifying Caricom candidates for international positions; Caricom relations with The Domin-

ican Republic; and border issues between Guyana and Venezuela, and Belize and Guatemala.

A high-level strategic dialogue between the Caricom heads of Government and United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon is expected to precede the conference on Thursday morning, also guided by the theme, “Caricom: Vibrant Societies, Resilient Economies, A Partnership for Implementation”.

"It will provide an opportunity for Caricom heads of Government to engage the UN Secretary-General on the community’s sustainable development agenda as attention now pivots around three imminent international conferences: The Third In-

ternational Conference on Financing for Development; the UN Summit on the Post2015 Development Agenda; and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, COP 21," the release said.

"The conferences have significant bearing on the future global agenda and the development of the community."

With the Strategic Plan for the community 20152019 and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Accelerated Modalities of Actions (Samoa Pathway) also in focus, discussions with the UN Secretary-General will seek to rationalise an integrated approach to the sustainable development in the community, as it seeks to make vibrant societies and resilient economies a

reality, the release continued.

The Samoa Pathway reportedly emanated from the Third International Conference on Small Island Developing States in September 2014.

The Caricom Heads of Government Conference will commence with a formal

ceremony on Thursday at the Hilton Barbados Resort. Outgoing Chairman of the Conference of Heads of Government, Perry Christie, Prime Minister of The Bahamas, and incoming Chairman, Freundel Stuart, Prime Minister of Barbados, are among the heads of Government who will make addresses at the

ceremony.

Newly-elected and re-elected heads of Government of Montserrat, St Kitts and Nevis, Guyana, Dominica, and Suriname, as well as Caricom Secretary-General Ambassador Irwin LaRocque will also speak at the ceremony, the release added.

Suicide appears ...

From page 11

suicide in Guyana, put pointed out that family discord, issues with couples and domestic violence are also factors that lead to suicide.

She noted that aside from poisonous substances being easily accessible, which is the chief means utilised by persons to take their lives, the media also need to be responsible in their reporting.

Dr. Harry explained that the majority of persons who committed suicide did so by following the patterns of the persons they read about or had seen committing the act.

Dr. Jorge Balseiro told the conference that the suicide profile in Guyana has been well identified with a scientific evidence base. He said it is an important step in an effort to characterise who and why people die from suicide in the country, and opens future avenues for research that could be completed with a detailed psychological autopsy and toxicology investigation.

To counter the prevalence of suicide, Guyana has developed a National Suicide Prevention Strategy, has been improving access to mental health, restricting access to poisonous substances, and raising awareness about suicide prevention.

St Cuthbert’s Mission trample Canadian School of Arts & Science ST CUTHBERT’S Mission stormed to a one-sided victory against Canadian School of Arts and Science (CSAS) when the former hosted the latter on Sunday in the fifth Digicel’s Nationwide Schools Football Competition.

Residents of the Amerindian community of St Cuthbert’s Mission, situated deep off the Soesdyke Highway, dared the inclement weather that threatened to prevent play. Instead they witnessed a 5-0 drubbing by the home side.

A large crowd converged on the community centre ground where the hosts drew first blood just fourteen minutes into the encounter thanks to Rahaul Poonsammy, whose

feeble attempt towards the goal managed to find its way past the opposition’s custodian.

Two minutes later, Cleyo Evans doubled the lead for his side when he fired past a goal-mouth scrimmage and found the back of the net.

Banking on such a good start, St Cuthbert’s found it easy to consistently assault CSAS’s goal and were awarded with a penalty kick following a hand-ball in the 18-yard box. Ronaldo O’Selmo made no mistake making it a three-possession match by the halftime whistle.

The second 45 minutes period did not bring any reprieve for CSAS as they

were constantly kept in defensive mode while Poonsammy was able to complete his double in the opening minutes.

The heavy outfield and errant finishing kept the scoreline relatively decent as many opportunities were missed, but Roberto Gapputh took full advantage of his chance to score, and finished with efficiency in the 50th minute.

The final whistle eventually brought much reprieve for the Canadian School of Arts Science who also had one player red-carded for misconduct.

Yesterday’s matches at the Ministry of Education ground and Georgetown Football Club were not played

Meanwhile, play in the competition continues today with eight matches at various venues.

At Wisburg ground in Linden, defending champions Christianburg/Wismar take on Mackenzie High School, at Leonora, Vergenoegen tackle Leonora Secondary; at No. 5, Belladrum engage Bush Lot; at Timehri, Soesdyke play Providence; at GFC, South Ruimveldt oppose Mercy Wings at Ministry of Education ground, North Georgetown and St Winefride square off at Skeldon, Tagore match strides with Manchester and New Opportunity Corps, host Essequibo Training Centre.

All matches commence at 15:30hrs.

‘Lady Jags’ begin Olympic ...

mer Olympic Tournament for 2016.

According to Rodrigues, “This is a short-term plan …

TD Bolton has made quite clear that we must be innovative, calculating, and fiscally responsible as we venture into a competition that many are thinking we cannot possibly be ready for.”

The GFF’s Next Generation Project highlights that one of the facets of football that must be a priority in the development plan is Women’s Football and as such the Federation has already held two Women’s awareness sessions and participated in the CONCACAF Women’s Football Day with a 3-on-3

Tournament.

There are also plans for a Women’s Football conference that will be the prelude to a Women’s Development League to kick off later in 2015.

Rodrigues was quick to point out that as happened in the past, “this squad, in this competition, can be the impetus for all young women in Guyana to get out and realise the dream of playing football and playing for Guyana. That is what we want to be the legacy of this squad’s participation in this competition”.

The camp culminated with a competitive 1-1 result versus undefeated Ontario League 1 side Durham FC, which the Lady Jags took

away with a penalty shootout victory.

Coach Rodrigues said, “I was pleasantly surprised; although, fitness levels are nowhere close to where they need to be, collectively we were a far better squad than I was expecting at this early stage. It was very promising and encouraging to give simple guidelines and responsibilities and have a majority of players adapt and execute.”

The head coach was also excited to inform that four of the highest calibre players available for selection will be joining the selection process in Guyana during the camp planned for mid-July where players will be taken through the

rigours of a full camp that is hoping to include an international friendly.

Bolton said that the Women’s budget would not be exhausted on this team for this competition, as those limited funds have been committed to facilitate the projects in the Next Generation Project, including the commencement of the aforementioned Women’s Development League.

The GFF has made the decision to hold two assessment events, prior to the mid-July selection camp, to get a further overview of local female players.

However, this will best allow for the GFF to gauge the level of players that will be moving into the planned Development League.

Barbados eliminated from World Cup qualifying … after fielding ineligible player ARUBA will progress to the next round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying at Barbados’ expense after the latter fielded an ineligible player.

Barbados have been thrown out of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying by

FIFA after fielding an ineligible player in the second leg of their victory over Aruba.

Already two goals up from the first leg, Barbados beat Aruba 1-0 at home in the return meeting on June 14 to book a place in the

next round of qualifiers.

However, Hadan Holligan - Barbados goalscorer in the second leg - played when he should have been serving a one-match suspension for picking up two previous yellow cards.

FIFA announced yesterday that Aruba had been awarded a 3-0 victory in the match, giving them a 3-2 aggregate win and qualification at Barbados’ expense.

Barbados have also been fined CHF 6,000.

Serena and Djokovic up and running at Wimbledon

By Martyn Herman LONDON, England (Reuters) - Serena Williams moved past the halfway mark in her quest for a rare calendar year grand slam and Novak Djokovic clicked smoothly back into gear as the 129th Wimbledon Championships opened for business yesterday.

Serial title-winner Williams, 33, has the Australian Open and French Open under her belt this year and her bid for a sixth Wimbledon crown

began with a 6-4, 6-1 victory over Russian debutante Margarita Gasparyan.

She swaggered on to Court One under sunny skies but took a while to warm to the task of chalking up a 22nd consecutive victory in grand slams, dropping her mighty serve in the opening game and looking rattled.

World number one Williams was warned for an audible obscenity when trailing 3-2 but soon transferred her aggression into some belting

winners to overwhelm the world number 113.

Only two women in the professional era have won all four grand slams in the same year -- Margaret Court in 1970 and Steffi Graf in 1988 -- but 20-time major singles champion Williams is closing in.

Djokovic elected not to play any warm-up tournaments on grass prior to arriving in southwest London but the 28-year-old defending champion quickly found his feet on the slick Centre Court turf against Germa-

(Reuters/Toby Melville) ny’s Philipp Kohlschreiber.

Like Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka, who crushed Djokovic’s hopes of completing his career grand slam in the French Open final, Kohlschreiber boasts a lethal backhand but the world number 33 never threatened a firstday shock to rival Lleyton Hewitt’s exit in 2003 when he was also trying to defend the title.

Djokovic chose his mo-

ments to push his shoulder against the door, breaking in the 10th game of the opening two sets, and sauntered through with minimum of fuss 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.

The crowd appreciated the Serb’s display, which included trying to usher a small bird off the court in the first set.

“This is the cradle of our sport, it doesn’t get any bigger than Wimbledon Centre

Court and it’s an honour and to be defending champion,” Djokovic said after signing autographs on the world’s most famous court.

Men’s fourth seed Wawrinka was in action later on Centre Court against Portugal’s Joao Sousa, after 2004 champion Maria Sharapova tackled British wildcard Johanna Konta.

Sixteen grand slam champions started out in the men’s and women’s singles, with several of them joining Djokovic and Williams in the second round.

Croatia’s Marin Cilic, who joined the elite by winning the U.S. Open last year, beat Hiroki Moriya of Japan 6-3, 6-2, 7-6(4) while Serbia’s Ana Ivanovic, the 2008 French Open champion, powered past China’s Xu Yifan 6-1, 6-1.

Belarussian Victoria Azarenka, the former world number one, beat Anett Kontaveit of Estonia 6-2, 6-1.

Spain’s Carla Suarez Navarro became the biggest name to fall, the ninth seed thrashed 6-2, 6-0 by Jelena Ostapenko.

Australia to host first day-night Test in November SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) - Australia will host the first day-night Test match under lights in November when they meet neighbours New Zealand at the Adelaide Oval.

“The historic event will be the third of a three-Test series against the Black Caps on Australian soil this summer and will be the first to be played under lights and with a pink Kookaburra ball,” Cricket Australia said on its website (www.cricket. com.au) today.

The Test under lights will start on November 27 and Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland said the move would allow more people to watch the match at the ground and on television.

“One of the global challenges with Test cricket is that most of the matches outside holiday periods are played on weekdays, in the middle of the day when people are at work and kids are at school,” Sutherland added.

“By shifting the playing

Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland times each day’s play can go into the evening and allow people to come in after work or after school to attend the last few hours of play but also when they get home in other parts of the world or other parts of the country, they can watch the game on TV.” The start time for the day-night match has not yet been decided but the Test could start at 14:30hrs local time and end at around 21:30hrs.

‘DINNER’ BREAK In another innovative move the 40-minute ‘lunch’ interval may be held be-

tween the second and third sessions of the day and would be known as ‘dinner’.

The 20-minute break for tea will keep the same name but be held between the first and second sessions.

New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White said it was all “another step forward in the evolution of the game”.

“Since the first Test in 1877 there have been numerous changes to the laws and rules in an effort to ensure the game remains relevant and this is another,” White added.

“As administrators we owe it to the game to keep exploring ways of moving forward.”

The day-night match was part of a six-Test summer schedule announced

by Cricket Australia yesterday.

Australia will also play three Tests against West Indies including the marquee Boxing Day and New Year’s matches.

Sri Lanka beat Pakistan to level Test series COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (Reuters) - Sri Lanka needed little more than 26 overs to beat Pakistan for a series-levelling seven-wicket victory in the second Test yesterday.

Dimuth Karunaratne (50) got Sri Lanka off to a flying start before adding 72 runs for the third wicket with skipper Angelo Mathews (43 not out) as the hosts chased down the 153-run target with some aggressive batting.

Eager to wrap up the victory, Sri Lanka promoted Kithuruwan Vithanage (34) to the opener’s slot and the batsman’s quickfire 23-ball cameo set the tone for a successful chase.

“We wanted to bat positively because we never

“So we wanted Kithuruwan to go out and express himself. We gave him the green signal to take the bowlers on.

“We approached it in a very positive way. You can’t get bogged down and let the bowlers get on top. We just wanted to play positive cricket.”

After heavy rain had washed out Sunday’s entire final session and delayed the final day’s start, Vithanage signalled his team’s intention by hitting the first ball of the day for a boundary.

Boxers Mayweather, Pacquiao top Forbes best paid celebrity list

By Patricia Reaney NEW YORK, USA (Reuters) - Boxers Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao topped Forbes list of the world’s 100 highest-paid celebrities yesterday, on the heels of their lucrative clash in Las Vegas last month.

With an estimated $300 million in earnings over the past 12 months, Mayweather more than lived up to his nickname ‘Money’ and was the undisputed champion.

Pacquiao was second, making $160 million over the past 12 months.

Their final earnings from the May 2 bout, which Mayweather won by unanimous decision, have not yet been disclosed. But Forbes’ estimates were based on what experts have described as the richest fight in boxing history.

“His (Mayweather’s) $300 million shattered the record for athlete earnings, which was previously held

by Tiger Woods who managed to bank $115 million in 2008,” Natalie Robehmed, of Forbes, said in an interview.

“It is above and beyond anything anyone has ever done.”

Singer Katy Perry’s massive Prismatic World Tour helped her nab third place with $135 million, followed

by British boy band One Direction with $130 million and TV and radio host Howard Stern with $95 million.

Musicians and athletes dominated the top 10 spots which included only two women.

Country music star Garth Brooks was No. 6 with $90 million, while pop singer Tay-

Forbes compiled its annual list of the most powerful celebrities from the world of sports, television, music and books by estimating pre-tax earnings from June 1, 2014 to June, 1 2015. Management, agent and attorney fees were not deducted.

Reality TV star, Kim Kar-

lion in the previous list, nearly doubled her earnings to an estimated $52.5 million, according to Forbes.

“I personally think she has been able to monetise fame better than anybody else,” said Robehmed. “A large percentage of her earnings come from her iPhone game.”

Kardashian placed just above Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence who was No. 34

with $52 million. Lawrence and Scarlett Johansson, No. 65 with $35.5 million, are the only two film actresses to make the 100 list, compared to 14 male movie stars.

Yasir Shah then dismissed the retiring Kumar Sangakkara for a golden duck with a delivery that hit the batsman’s glove and thigh pad en route to Azhar Ali’s hands at short leg.

With the threat of rain looming large and groundsmen ready to rush in with the covers, Karunaratne and Mathews kept scoring briskly.

soon after by Shah, a decision the batsman instantly reviewed but could not get overturned.

Lahiru Thirimanne (20 not out) hit a boundary in the 28th over to seal the victory against Pakistan, who paid the price for their first-innings batting capitulation at the P Sara Oval.

“The session from lunch to tea really dented us on the first day,” Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq said, referring to their collapse for 138 runs.

“We lost all our best batsmen during that period. That was I think the main difference in the Test match.”

Sri Lanka paceman Dhammika Prasad was named man-of-the-match for his seven wickets, to go with the 35 runs he scored in the first innings.

THE penultimate fight of Michael Anthony Parris’ 13-year professional career occurred on June 30, 1995.

Parris clashed with Englishman Richie Wenton at the Everton Park Sports Centre in Liverpool.

At stake was the vacant World Boxing Organisation (WBO) Inter-Continental super bantamweight title which Wenton won following a unanimous decision verdict. All three judges scored the fight 119-111 in favour of the Englishman who at 27 was 10 years Parris’ junior.

The Guyanese made his final trip to the ring in November of the same year. He then defeated Paul Lloyd via TKO in round four. Lloyd later became the bantamweight champion of the Commonwealth.

Parris had entered the professional ranks two years after winning Guyana’s first and to date the only Olympic medal, at the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games. He produced 17 victories, 10 losses and two draws.

De La Hoya says has decided against making a comeback (REUTERS) - Boxing Hall of Famer and former Olympic champion Oscar De La Hoya, after pondering a return to the ring, said yesterday that he would remain retired.

“As a professional athlete and someone who has spent almost his entire life in boxing, not a day goes by when I don’t think about coming back,” De La Hoya, 42, said in a statement.

“But I am retired, and after speaking to my family and following a great deal of introspection, I have decided to stay retired.”

De La Hoya, who recently spent two spells in rehab to battle substance abuse, told ESPN last Monday that he was “50-50” about fighting

Oscar De La Hoya to remain retired again.

He had quit boxing soon after retiring on his stool at the end of the eighth round of a lopsided 2008 defeat against Manny Pacquiao, but told ESPN: “I am so hungry and so

determined. I am young, I am healthy and I feel great ... 42 is the new 32.”

Nicknamed ‘Golden Boy’, the 1992 Olympic champion won world professional titles at six different weights and founded

Golden Boy Promotions in 2002.

He said he was only interested in either a rematch against undefeated welterweight Floyd Mayweather Jr or a bout against hard-hitting Kazakh middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin.

“To the many thousands of fans who over the last couple of weeks encouraged me to come out of retirement and fight again, I thank you,” said the Californian, who retired with a 39-6 (30 knockouts) record.

“You can rest assured that I will spend the rest of my days around this wonderful sport, even though those days won’t be spent inside the ropes.”

Guyana is forerunner in Constitution Reform - Urling

By Stephan Sookram

WITH the recent adoption of a new constitution at the Extraordinary Congress of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) last Friday, Guyana emerged as forerunner in the way the world’s single largest spectator sport is run.

FIFA’s Head of Member Association Primo Cavaro confirmed that there are several countries in the CONCACAF (Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association of Football) zone that will have to go through the same process (Constitution Reform).

According to Cavaro, “We are going to do the same in Trinidad and Toba-

From left: Rawle Toney , GFF Director of Marketing and Communication, FIFA Head of Member Associations Primo Cavaro and GFF Normalisation Chairman Clinton Urling. go, Puerto Rico is already in the process of doing it and we will start soon in

other member associations.

“We have six confederations. CONCACAF is the one at the bottom I would say. It hasn’t really taken off as yet, but in Africa, for example,

half of the member associations (there are 54), half of them, roughly 25 have adopted a new Constitution. So it’s a process that’s ongoing all over the world. In CONCACAF it has started and it is moving

and I think here again we can bring about the example of where Guyana is.”

The biggest change between the old Constitution and the new one is the introduction of more voting members to ensure a holistic approach and inclusiveness of all stakeholders in the running of the country’s football.

Under the new Constitution the Regional Associations, namely the Bartica Football Association (FA), Berbice FA, East Bank Demerara FA, East Coast Demerara FA, Essequibo/Pomeroon FA, Georgetown FA, Rupununi FA, Upper Demerara FA and West Demerara FA represent the amateur divisions.

The Elite League will be represented by Alpha United, GDF, Slingerz FC, Pele, Fruta Conquerors, GFC, Buxton United and Moned-

derlust FC. Interest groups will include the Guyana Football Coaches’ Association, the Guyana Football Referees’ Council, the Guyana National Women’s Football Association, the Guyana Futsal Association and the Guyana Beach Soccer Association.

Each member is entitled to one vote. The next step according to the Normalisation Chairman Clinton Urling “is to fan out to the various members, bring their Constitutions in line with the one recently adopted and then hold fresh elections to elect representatives. Once this is done, the Federation will host its Congress to elect fresh executives of the Federation, thus ending the life of the Normalisation Committee”.

Best still to come from Patriots, warns Samuels Training programmes and development … face Jamaica Tallawahs today

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) – Skipper Marlon Samuels has promised there is more exciting cricket to come from St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, following their first win of the Caribbean Premier League last weekend.

Patriots, the new franchise in this year’s competition, upset the previously unbeaten Barbados Tridents last Saturday at Kensington Oval, when they bowled brilliantly to pull off a one-run victory.

“There’s still a lot of room to improve and this team haven’t played to their full potential as yet, and you’re going to see some brilliant cricket from the Patriots,” said Samuels.

“We’re coming together, putting everything in order so the team is definitely gelling and the dressing room has been wonderful.”

Patriots opened the tournament on a losing note last week, going down to hosts St Lucia Zouks in Gros Islet by seven wickets.

Sent in by the Tridents in their second match, they posted 143 for eight and then defied a top score of 82 from captain Kieron Pollard, to inch home off the last ball.

They reduced the Tridents to 14 for three in the fifth over before drying up the runs during the middle overs, and forcing the required run rate up to nearly 13 at one point.

Samuels said he had been forced to make several adjustments, but was always in

plans in order - Gokarn Ramdhani

By Stephan Sookram

Patriots captain Marlon Samuels control of the situation.

“I backed my spinners to bring me through the middle overs but the conditions changed where the spinners couldn’t grip the ball so I had to bring back (seamer) Orlando Peters,” the Jamaican explained.

“At the 17th over, I knew I had (Sohail) Tanvir with all that experience to come and give me a couple dot balls, maybe give me a wicket here and there and that’s how I looked to finish off the game.”

With 28 runs required from the last two overs, left-arm seamer Tanvir sent down the penultimate over which cost just nine, leaving 19 to get from the last over.

Peters then held his nerve to restrict the Tridents, and Samuels said keeping calm had been key to the win in the late stages.

“That’s the most important thing and we keep talking about it in the dressing room, just going to play freely and not panicking,” he pointed out.

PRESIDENT of the Guyana Badminton Association Gokarn Ramdhani said that he was pleased by the level of competition displayed at the recently concluded Annual Guyana Olympic Association Olympic Day Future OPEN Badminton Tournament.

During a brief interview with the GBA boss, he indicated that it is testi-

mony to their future plans for the sport. “I was very pleased with the turnout as it was an Open and yet the juniors took part and they all tried their best. I was happy also to know that the work we put in to keep our champions on top is on the right track which shows our training programmes and development plans are in order.”

In the doubles division Narayan Ramdhani/Nicho-

las Ali claimed top honours.

The pair beat off Jonathan Mangra/Avinash Odit: 21-15, 9-21, 21-15 for the win.

Third place went to the pair of William Holder/ Haymant Ramdhani who defeated Gokarn Ramdhani/Grandison Robinson, 21-9, 21-10. On the distaff side, Priyanna Ramdhani/Abosaide Cadogan defeated Siya Persaud/Kara Abrams: 21-9, 21-14.

In the singles male di-

vision, Narayan Ramdhani finished ahead of Nicholas Ali and Jonathan Mangra while for the ladies Priyanna Ramdhani finished first, Kara Abrams second and Abosaide Cadogan third .

The presentation of prizes to the winners by members of the Guyana Badminton Association was done the end of the final match.
