GUYANA No. 104313
TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 15, 2015
By Rabindra Rooplall THERE are 15 days remaining for the gun amnesty programme, and government has signalled its intention to thereafter apply the full force of the law against gun runners and holders of illegal firearms who have refused to hand in their weapons.
The police have at their disposal the Firearms (Amendment) Bill 2013 which was passed in the National Assembly on January 17, 2014. The then PPP/C government had amended the antiquated law to include stricter penalties for offenders in an effort to curb trafficking and possession of illegal

of $500,000 in fines and five years in prison can be meted out to offenders if the matter has been summarily tried at a magistrate’s court. Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo and Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan, on Monday inspected the firearms and ammunition that have so far been handed over to the Police Force. Some 1457 live rounds and over 30 firearms have thus far been surrendered by citizens. The gun amnesty period, which commenced on September 1, could be extended, according to its success, Minister Ramjattan told reporters during the inspection. “Immediately after the month ends, there will be a crackdown on all illegal weapons in a harsh manner; so bring them (illegal guns) out now, because the full force of the law will be applied to all (persons) caught (with illegal arms and ammunition) after (the amnesty has ended),” Minister Ramjattan advised. In regard to the fact that no assault rifles have been
surrendered to the police and this is a weapon used in all major crimes, Ramjattan said it is disappointing, but there is still hope, as 15 days are still available to the amnesty period. Underscoring that the amnesty is one of a voluntary nature and is not a buy-back process, Ramjattan emphasised that government is constrained by financial arrangements and cannot offer cash incentives at this point. CONSIDERABLE SUCCESS Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo has said the Firearms Amnesty Programme has already seen considerable success, which suggests that the Guyanese nation is willing to bring itself within the ambit of the law. “I pledge my support and the support of the Office of the Prime Minister to this Amnesty Programme, and encourage all persons who have illegal firearms in their possession to bring them in during this period. My colleague, Vice-President Ramjattan, made it clear recently that, once the amnesty concludes, the police will deal condignly with persons who are found with

In the remaining days, I hope to see the delivery of more weapons, and that family members of holders of illegal weapons would plead with them to come clean,” Nagamootoo explained. Police Commissioner Seelall Persaud has u n d e r s c o re d t h a t i f a weapon was used in commission of a crime, that factor would be discovered through ballistics testing, which is being done on all weapons. He has also said the Police Force will not go after the person who has surrendered the weapon, since that person is immune from prosecution for possession of an illegal firearm. “That person has absolute immunity, so he/ she would not be prosecuted for possession of firearm. Immunity is only for the possession of the firearm, not for other crimes,” the Police Commissioner said.
Special Forces locate body of Kaieteur tourist … husband was hoping to find her alive
By Leroy Smith Rabindranath Sivinand, the husband of Gyaneshwarie Sivinand yesterday said that the family is griefstricken at the news that the
body which was spotted at the bottom of the Kaieteur Falls on Saturday is that of his wife. Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle last evening via telephone, the man said that the family despite the odds were still hoping that his wife would have been found alive. Mr. Sivinand pointed out that every family grieves for their loved ones differently and asked that the privacy and decency of the family be respected during this time
of mourning. He stressed that the family will be very appreciative if at least media operatives can also respect their wishes especially during the period relatives pay their final respects. Last evening the Ministry of Presidency confirmed that the remains at the bottom of the Kaieteur gorge has been located and will be recovered and transported out of the area today. The ministry said that the Guyana Defense Force Special Team located the body of the woman who
was a tourist at the Kaieteur National Park at the time she went missing. It was reported by the ministry that the remains of the woman were found among a rocky area at the base of the falls which had previously been submerged because of high levels of water. The plan is to elevate the body to the top of the falls today and will be transported by plane to Georgetown for a postmortem. The Park remains closed for completion of the recovery operation and is expected to be re-opened by tomorrow Wednesday, the Ministry of the Presidency release added. The Ministry of Presidency also used the opportunity to express its condolences to the family of the tourist during what it termed “this difficult time” Appreciation was also expressed by the ministry to the officials and agencies that supported the work of the Guyana Police Force and Guyana Defence Force during the search and recovery operation.

Granger wants stronger education system
3
- pushes for more entrepreneurship in hinterlands By Tajeram Mohabir P R E S I D E N T D AV I D GRANGER said while his administration wants to see more entrepreneurship in the indigenous communities, the education system has to be the base of the economy. “We have to reform the education system so that more children in indigenous communities have access to education; there are fewer dropouts and higher quality teaching and more people graduate who can go into university,” he said. The President was at the time responding to a question from the Guyana Chronicle on whether the Indigenous Month Celebration should focused more on entrepreneurship and community-based tourism apart from cultural preservation.
President Granger pointed out that there were several events before the Indigenous Month Celebration, with the first being the national Toshaos Council. “More or less it merged into Amerindian Heritage Month,” he said, pointing out that some of the points that were raised at that conference include building happy households, entrepreneurship, strengthening the education system and the role of women in the communities. “So we want to see stronger economies. The hinterland where most of the indigenous live is the richest part of the country. It is rich in timber, it is rich in minerals and it has great ecotourism potential,” he said. Some have said that there is need for greater private sector involvement in Amerindian communities
while Toshao Lenox Shuman from St Cuthbert’s Mission, Region 4 has suggested that instead of having the event held for one month, it should be for nine days. He is advocating for one day for each of the nine Amerindian tribes in current existence in Guyana. Shuman explained that this one-month event is used as an escape route for many who refuse to work during this time, and say: “This is my month; I don’t have to work.” REVAMP Meanwhile, Toshao of Moraikobai (Region 5), Colin Adrian while praising the celebrations, called for it to be revamped. According to him, while the Amerindian Month initiative is one which provides some amount of marketing for local
President David Granger Amerindian products, which include art and craft, food, and fashion, it is not a long-term plan to combat the erosion of Amerindian culture. With globalisation rapidly shifting the socio-economic landscape of the world, Guyana, too, has fallen prey to these new adaptations, which contribute to the loss
of traditional practices by indigenous groups. A question was put to the President on why the celebrations are held in Georgetown and not the hinterland, to which he responded that contrary to the belief of many, the celebrations are also held in hinterland communities. The President explained that while the indigenous peoples are part of the population, not many on the Coastland are aware of their customs, rituals and practices. “Public servants spend months and years in the hinterland and can’t speak a word of the indigenous communities in which they lived. “It is a two-way street, so it is good for the indigenous people to come to town so that people in Georgetown or the coastal areas are more
aware of their customs or are more respectful of the indigenous people” Granger said. Equally, he said, these celebrations should also be vibrant in the hinterland so as to generate greater pride and a sense of identity. “So we don’t want to treat Indigenous Peoples Month as it is called now as something which is not exclusive, but inclusionary and all the Guyanese people should be proud of their heritage.” T h e P re s i d e n t s a i d it is good for the people on the coastland to be part of the celebrations because it demystifies the negative perceptions of race and creates a feeling of integration and appreciation of the language and culture of the indigenous peoples.

Meanwhile by Sunday confirmation came that the remains which were spotted are indeed that of the woman given her attire she was wearing at the time she disappeared. Minister of Governance Raphael Trotman on Sunday did indicate to the Guyana Chronicle that the Government through the relevant agencies will try its best to ensure that the remains are brought out of the area so that the family can be able to afford the woman the final rites they so desire. Gyaneshwarie Sivinand reportedly plunged to her death earlier this month while accompanying several other persons on a tour to the area. The woman did not indicate to any relatives that she was going to the location and it was only after she was reported missing that contact was made with her family who became aware.

At least 400 California homes consumed by fire, toll seen climbing
(REUTERS) - A NORTHERN California wildfire ranked as the most destructive to hit the drought-stricken U.S. West this year has claimed one life and burned at least 400 homes to the ground, fire officials reported on Monday, saying they expected the property toll to climb. The so-called Valley Fire erupted on Saturday and spread quickly to a cluster of small communities in the hills and valleys north
of Napa County’s wine-producing region, forcing the evacuation of thousands of residents. Some recounted chaotic ordeals of having to flee their homes through gauntlets of flame engulfing the neighborhoods around them. “That whole place was ablaze. It was like Armageddon,” said Steve Johnson, a 37-year-old construction worker from Southern California who was visiting his mother in the fire-ravaged community of Hidden Valley

Fire officials described the rapid initial rate of spread as nearly unprecedented, a consequence of vegetation desiccated by four years of drought and weeks of extreme summer heat. Four firefighters were hospitalised with second-degree burns in the early hours of the blaze on Saturday. One civilian fire fatality was confirmed on Monday by Lake County Sheriff’s spokesman Lieutenant Steve Brooks. But Brooks gave no details about the circumstances or the victim’s identity.

Kamla tells Rowley congrats - six days after polls
(EXPRESS) - ALMOST a week after the People’s Partnership (PP) was defeated at the polls by the People’s National Movement (PNM), former prime minister and United National Congress political leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar has congratulated new Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley. In a statement posted on her Facebook page, Persad-Bissessar said it is her hope that Rowley follows her lead, which is to use his office and power “for the betterment of people’s lives”. She noted: “Democracy truly is a precious thing and the result of an election is an expression of the will of the people. All persons who are elected should take those responsibilities very seriously indeed and I congratulate the hundreds of thousands of you who exercised your right to vote and made this possible. “Again, I take this opportunity to congratulate my opponent Dr Keith Rowley on his victory.”
Kamla Persad-Bissessar
Persad-Bissessar, who had not previously acknowledged the PNM’s success, went on to wish Rowley the best “for the sake of all our people”. Noting that citizens of this country deserve competent and effective governance, Persad-Bissessar said she hoped the new government will continue the People’s Partnership’s legacy of performance and delivery. She noted that she was proud of the many promises delivered during her government’s term in office and pointed out that the People’s Partnership left Trinidad and Tobago “in a far better position today than what we
inherited in 2010”. “I hope the new Prime Minister will use all that has been achieved thus far, and build on it so as to ensure that development continues,” she said. “My passion was to serve in public office because I wanted to make a difference — because I want to make a difference and improve lives. As the saying goes, with power comes responsibility. I held office and power and used both for the betterment of people’s lives. For the sake of our country, let us all hope Keith Rowley now follows that lead.” Persad-Bissessar said while her party may not be in power, it will do its best to be patriotic citizens and an effective opposition. “Rest assured the United National Congress and the People’s Partnership will be back stronger than ever before. In the meantime, we will do our patriotic duty as members of the opposition and we will prepare a programme that puts people at the centre and our country at the front.”
IMF says Haiti facing ‘challenging times’ PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (CMC) – THE International Monetary Fund (IMF) says economic growth in Haiti is expected to be within the one to two per cent range as the French-speaking Caribbean Community (CARICOM) country seeks to implement an economic programme “in challenging circumstances”.
An IMF mission, headed by W. Christopher Walker, has just ended a one week
visit to the country, noting
that it “is facing a significant drought, with crop losses estimated as high as 50 per cent in the most-affected areas. “In the face of this negative shock, and with a decline in construction linked to a drop in public investment, economic growth in FY2014/15, ending September 30, is expected in the one to two per cent range.” Walker said in addition, uncertainties common to electoral cycles contributed
to a sharp depreciation of the local currency, the gourde in June and July. “The monetary authorities took appropriate and timely measures in response, and the exchange rate has regained approximately half of its 17 per cent loss against the dollar during this period. Nevertheless, the depreciation, coupled with food price increases resulting from the drought, is expected to push inflation up to around 10 per cent this fiscal year.”
T&T businesswoman missing, Benz found abandoned

The suicide scourge
SUICIDE and self-harm are the logical results of hopelessness and despair. Guyana is the suicide capital of the world; we have the highest suicide rate of any place on Earth. This is according to the most prestigious international body existing. Guyana is the epicenter of suicide in the world, Berbice is the epicenter of suicide in Guyana, and Black Bush Polder is the epicenter of suicide in Berbice. Our local response – well-meaning obviously -- is to hold long "workshops", seminars and conferences, one of which was held just a few Fridays ago. Ministers were there, and many people spoke. There was nothing new. The organisers -- concerned people full of worry, woe and words --undertook to send a detailed report to the concerned ministers of our new government. Over the years, similar workshops and events have been held across the country, and many people would have attended from many professions. There were plenary sessions in which Ministers, Permanent Secretaries, religious and social leaders, members of the GPF, the press, nurses, doctors, teachers, and so on were often present. Then there would be "break out" sessions, each group being given topics to explore -- all geared at avoiding repetition and useless duplication. Then months would be spent writing a detailed report; but after all of that, no one would even bother to collect it. Many, many words; plenty, plenty anecdotes; reports amounting to more pages than people can count -- all good -- would all be futile. Just over a week ago, a child hanged himself in Rose Hall. He was in his early teens. The secondary school which he attended hung up a small black flag the size of a small child's tee-shirt in a nice gesture. The small symbol will disappear and life will go on -- until it happens again. It seems as if the child did something naughty at school and was instructed to bring his parents to school the next day. The situation seems quite involved, and one hopes that there will be some thorough and speedy investigation. At first, it was around Rose Hall that the boy was

Key role for media in criminal justice project MINISTER of Legal Affairs and Attorney-General, Basil Williams met yesterday with a team from the Justice Education Society (JES) to discuss the way forward on the proposed reformation of the criminal justice system here. Officially titled ‘Strengthening the Guyanese Criminal Justice System (SGCJS), the two-year project is being funded by the Government of Canada. According to Minister Williams, yesterday’s meeting centred around components of the conduct of crime scene and police investigations for the purpose of gathering enough evidence to successfully prosecute a case. What this means, in essence, he said, is that training must also be given to magistrates as well as State and police prosecutors as part of the entire process. Said he: “We have identified with the components in the programme that is being administered by the Justice Education Society, and we believe it’s very relevant, due to complaints such as lawyers taking advantage of police prosecutors.” Noting that the police are usually blamed when there are no successful prosecutions, Minister Williams said training all parties involved should help see a significant reversal in trends. According to JES International Programs Manager, Evelyn Neaman, activities can commence as early as next month, provided that the training supplies and equipment
arrive on time. The full scope of the activities include: Working with the police on crime-scene protection; working with investigators on investigation; working with the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP); helping police prosecutors; and training for the magistrates courts. One of the components of the project has to do with the media playing a key role in the dissemination of information. Said Neaman, “There is a documentary for public viewing, which will bring about greater awareness on the project, and what it hopes to achieve, so they (the public at large) can better understand what this project is, so we can build better confidence in the justice system.” It is in this regard, she said, “that we hope to work with the media. They can take some of the clips to disburse them.” The JES has embarked on similar projects in Central America and Ethiopia. The Canadian non-governmental organisation, Justice Education Society of British Columbia, is injecting the sum of US$750,000 into the project, which will be used for the development of Guyana’s justice system. The plan will look at training in legislative drafting; the training of judges and lawyers; and addressing the question of how the courts are administered. Part of the grant will be spent on addressing the undue delay and backlog of cases. (GINA)
Intelligence gathering ups ante against solving crimes - Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum
THE intelligence-gathering capability of the Guyana Police Force has increased tremendously, and this has contributed to the force solving more crimes, Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum has said. “There is a multiplicity of factors, (but) one is our intelligence gathering. We have enhanced our capability with our intelligence operatives who are working beyond the call of duty. We have our social crime prevention programme, we
are more present within the communities, and persons have been cooperating with the police and calling in and giving us information pertaining to serious offences,” the Crime Chief explained. Noting that investigators are well trained, Superintendent Blanhum said overseas training has been done by the best law enforcement agencies in the world, and training is being done locally. He said the CID induction
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum course which is underway is
being funded by the Guyana Police Force. Adding that members of the Major Crime Unit have been working with all other departments in solving cases, the Crime Chief said: “One of the things I have emphasied to them is that there is need for everyone to work as a team, since intelligence sharing is very important, and information from all sectors has been filtered into the Major Crime Unit.” (Rabindra Rooplall)
City councillors granted 30 percent hike in stipends A P P R O VA L h a s b e e n granted for an increase in the monthly stipend for councillors of the Georgetown Mayor and City Council, giving each one a 30 percent hike, Mayor Hamilton Green has said. He made the disclosure during the announcement segment of the Council’s fortnightly statutory meeting at City Hall, yesterday. This has long been a
contentious issue and former Town Clerk Carol Sooba had denied the request when it was made some time ago, reducing the allowances of councillors by as much as half when some of them failed to attend statutory meetings. According to Deputy Mayor Patricia ChaseGreen, councillors in the past received a stipend of $30,000, then $45,000 and a request for it to be raised to $60,000 was denied,
playing a game called "Charlie", a game which has caused some consternation in recent times. A few short weeks ago, another child in Rose Hall Town also killed himself, same vicinity --mere streets away. A few days ago, another woman killed herself. The story is that she had been married for seven years and could not beget a child. There was much blaming: the man impotent; the woman barren; it was a daily fight. She is dead now -- same Rose Hall Town. This trend will continue, and will get worse. This is not pessimism; it is simply that we have no one in this country who seems capable, or willing, to do the serious in-depth research. At best, we handle the epidemic in a case by case amateurish way -- Band-Aid on cancer. The police are not
although it was catered for in the 2012 budget. Chase-Green said Sooba refused to increase the money and began slashing their already meagre sum with the help of the City Treasurer. She recalled that she had attended a meeting with former Minister of Local Government and Regional Development Norman Whittaker and yet her money was cut in half. The Deputy Mayor had
quoted the Municipal and District Councils’ Act, which states, in part: “The City Council may, in each year, with the approval of the minister, appropriate out of the funds of the Council, a sum to utilise for the remuneration of councillors other than travelling and subsistence expenses incurred in the course of duty and may, with such approval, determine what sum shall be payable to each councillor.”
trained to deal with families of suicide victims; teachers are not trained to identify signals of depression; no one is trained as to what actions to take. Social Work people (given University of Guyana) are woeful; it is all hit-and-miss. We cannot blame the "professional" people; we need to get the real work done! Let's find the root causes and take action. It may take a year of hard work and the employment of verifiable expertise, but we do not seem to be able to work well, cannot seem to understand what research really means, and are paralysed. This is much more than classroom UG-type stuff. Meanwhile, our citizens are dying at their own hands, and this nation is awash in grief.

Herstelling ‘murder-for-hire’...
Woman charged with husband’s murder By Leroy Smith AN obviously unperturbed Gwendolyn Persaud, 46, of Diamond New Housing Scheme was yesterday remanded to prison after she appeared before Magistrate Ann McLennon charged with the murder of her husband, Nathan Andrew Persaud, 47, of Herstelling, East Bank Demerara. The woman, a shopkeeper, was unrepresented and did not seem to have much family support during her appearance. She was not required to plea to the indictable charge which stated that on September 10, at Herstelling, she murdered Nathan Andrew Persaud. The court was told that the woman made an arrangement, whereby she promised money to another in consideration for him to cause the death of her husband. She is to return to court on October 3 for a report. As the woman kept a smile on her face while the charge of murder was being read in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, at another location, her children, mother-in-law and other relatives had tears trickling down their cheeks as they said goodbye to Nathan Andrew Persaud, who was laid to rest yesterday. At the time the woman was in court, the body of her husband was being moved to three different locations along the East Bank Demerara, including the home where he was killed, which is the property that is in dispute, and another home his parents own in a lower East Bank Demerara community. At the Herstelling house, family members and friends gathered to pay their respects to the man they said had fought to the bitter end to ensure that his sons were comfortable.
Meanwhile, the man who was hired by the estranged wife to murder her husband is still on the run even as police continue to collect intelligence that should cause them to arrest him soon. Once arrested, the man will also be brought before the court and charged with murder, according to police sources. During an interview with the Guyana Chronicle on Sunday, one of the woman’s sons said that what his mother did to his father was very messed up but he would have to find it in his heart someday to forgive her so that he can be able to live in peace. On Saturday the woman confessed to the police that she did hire a hitman to eliminate her husband after he expressed confidence that he was going to win a property dispute that the two were having in court and then he would ensure that she is placed on the streets. The dead man’s mother said that the death of her son was something that she will have a hard time coming to grips with since the woman who hired the hitman was once treated like her own daughter. The woman said that what her daughter-inlaw did was very heartbreaking for her. The police also have in their custody a niece of the woman who by her own admission is familiar with the hitman as he showed up at the Diamond property to visit her and was discussing money issues to travel outside of Guyana when Gwendolyn Persaud overheard and approached him with the offer to kill the man. On Thursday of last week Nathan Persaud was murdered in his home after the hitman clubbed him to death while he was home. alone.

Cow thief nabbed while cleaning blood-stained vehicle
By Leroy Smith
A PRAEDIAL larceny suspect was arrested yesterday by police in ‘D’ Division and a car impounded during investigations into reports about the disappearance of cows belonging to cattle farmers on the West Coast and West Bank Demerara over the past three years. Fayad Ali, 27 years, of Lot 7 ‘C’ Vreed-en-Hoop Public Road, West Bank Demerara was arrested while having his car, PTT 4969, a sliver grey Primo, cleaned at a wash bay, just as a Guyana Chronicle team was passing on the West Coast Demerara Public Road. Upon enquiry, persons said the man and three others were spotted slaughtering a cow on a desolate street in Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara. Tularam Baloo, a cattle farmer from La Grange, told this publication at the carwash that over the past three years he had lost more than four dozen cows, which were stolen and slaughtered.
“For the last three to four years I losing cows steady, steady, every week I losing cows and we never catch the killer,” the cattle farmer related. He said that on Sunday he went to check on his cattle where they usually graze on an old rice cultivation land that he is renting. However, a head count indicated that an animal was missing and during a search in nearby areas he found that his cow was being slaughtered. “Last night I go at the back there to watch me cows them and I see this sliver grey car with three men inside and I know them. They kill the cow and drive away from me because I did not have a weapon or anything to give chase after them, I had nothing,” the man stated. He said when he showed up at the house where the owner of the car resides, he observed blood in the yard. He explained that he was able to locate the house since almost all the cattle farmers in the area are familiar with the car because of its artwork and the fact that it moves
around the communities mostly at nights. When the police nabbed the driver of the car, there was blood inside the trunk. And when this publication
Cattle farmer Tularam Baloo said he lost cattle valued some $10M due to praedial larceny questioned the attendants o f t h e w a s h b a y, t h e y acknowledged that the said car was often at the carwash to be cleaned and most times there was blood in the trunk but that didn’t arouse any suspicion because they were aware that the man was in the business of selling beef.
Another man, Zahir Azeez, also of La Grange said he lost approximately forty head of cattle over a period but like his fellow cattle farmers, he had no suspects in mind. However, many reports were made to the police regarding the issue of praedial larceny but the police were unable until yesterday to nab any suspects. This publication was told that neighbours had observed the unusual practices of the men in the car as they were killing the cow and that information was passed on to the cattle owners. According to reports, the men would degut the animals and split them in half before fitting the carcass in the car trunk. The Chronicle was taken to the area yesterday where the men had killed the cow on Sunday night. The intestines from a large animal were seen on the shoulder of the roadway along with a considerable amount of blood. The same was said to have been done to a cow two days ago in Best Village.

New Broadcasting Authority to review handout of radio licences - PM Moses Nagamootoo
WHEN the new Guyana National Broadcasting Authority is constituted, all radio licences will be reviewed. This was recently disclosed by First Vice President and Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo, who asserted: “We are shortly putting in place the new Broadcasting Authority, and it would be their responsibility to have an inventory of all licences granted and to undertake a review of all that were granted in conformity with the law.” The Advisory Committee on Broadcasting (ACB) was established by the Post and Telegraph Act which was repealed by the Broadcast Act of 2011. The new Broadcast Act of 2011 was passed in the National Assembly, and was assented to by former President Bharrat Jagdeo in September 2011. The new laws mandated establishment Prime Minister, Moses Nagamootoo of the Guyana National Broadcasting Authority. However, Jagdeo did not wait on the Broadcast Authority to be established before granting radio licences to several agencies, most of them close to the People’s Progressive Party. Legal observers said he was in breach of the laws when he took it upon himself to grant the 11 radio and two cable licences. Radio licenses were granted to Radio Guyana, Telecor Cultural and Broadcasting Inc., NTN Radio, New Guyana Co Ltd, Rudolph Grant, Wireless Connections, Hits and Jams Entertainment, Alfro Alphonso and Sons Enterprise, Haslyn Graham, and Little Rock Television Station. The issuance of radio and television licences has, over the years, been a bone of contention under the former Administration. The then PPP administration had defended Jagdeo’s decision to issue those licences even though it was days before he stepped down from the presidency. Dr Roger Luncheon and former President Donald Ramotar have both stopped short of giving full details in explaining what methods Jagdeo had used in arriving at his decision to grant those applicants radio licences. The granting of licences has been roundly condemned by media associations. Several media houses, like HBTV, Kaieteur News, Stabroek News, RBS Channel 13, CNS Channel 6, MBC Channel 46, WRHM Channel 7, GWTV 2 and Capitol News, were among those that complained about being sidelined by Jagdeo.

Schoolgirl struck down by police car … constable under close arrest
By Leroy Smith A POLICE constable in ‘D’ Division, West Coast Demerara, was placed under close arrest yesterday after he struck down a student of the Uitvlugt Secondary School on the pedestrian crossing while driving a police car around 08:00 hrs. Eleven-year-old Parminie Persaud, a Grade 7 student, was up to yesterday evening receiving medical attention for lacerations to the body caused by the accident. Her grandmother told the Guyana Chronicle at the West Demerara Regional Hospital (WDRH) yesterday morning that she had dressed her granddaughter and sent her off to school from their Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo home. H o w e v e r, s h o r t l y afterwards, she received a call from a teacher of the school informing her that the child had been struck down by a police car on the pedestrian crossing
near her school. When this publication arrived at the WDRH, the child had just reached there from the Leonora Cottage Hospital where she was rushed immediately after the accident. The child arrived in a police car, and her school uniform was partially covered in blood as she was being given insulin. Persons who gathered at the hospital to check on her condition, including her teachers, said that the police vehicle, which is normally used by the Divisional Commander, was speeding with its siren blaring. The commander was not in the vehicle at the time. It was also stated that the police car at the time was overtaking a line of other vehicles moving at a snail’s pace as they were near the school, and had to allow children to use the pedestrian crossing. Commander Steven Mansell, who went immediately to the hospital upon being informed
The child’s grandmother updating relatives on her condition about the accident, told this publication yesterday morning that he had met with the grandparent of the injured child and offered the force’s full assistance. The commander said that from what he gathered, the rank was indeed speeding. He also

He said that initial evidence proved that the police constable had no right to be using the siren at the time of the accident, nor was he

According to Mansell, the police rank was returning from filling up on fuel at the time of the accident. Meanwhile, the commander assured that the police constable will be charged criminally, n o t d e p a r t m e n t a l l y,
as an investigation is underway, and already statements have been taken from eyewitnesses as well as the police rank himself. “I heard that he was using sirens at the time. The siren was on, and it did not warrant that, as there was no need for a rush,” the commander pointed out.

Govt, private sector send 75 tonnes of rice to Dominica
G U YA N A w i l l , t h i s morning, send a shipment of rice to aid the Caribbean Island of Dominica which was hit by a devastating hurricane a few weeks ago. Minister of State, Joseph Harmon, along with representatives of Fairfield Rice Incorporated,
Te c n o m i l l G u y a n a Incorporated and Sajrice Groups Incorporated, was present at the GNIC Wharf yesterday to witness onloading of the containers. In brief remarks, the minister said government was very pleased to join forces with members of the private sector to get this undertaking going. This initiative, he said, is a clear reflection of Guyana’s ability to respond in times of need. “I think that this kind of collaboration between government and the
private sector is important to demonstrate to the rest of the world that Guyana is a place where we respond to wherever there is a need, and we are a giving people,” Minister Harmon said. The minister commended the private sector for joining in the venture, and said government was very pleased with the support shown, as, over a matter of days, the quantity of rice for the shipment kept growing. “ I n i t i a l l y, w h e n w e spoke we were targeting 25
tons, but as the days went by, more people came out to show their support in a more dynamic way,” Minister Harmon added. This venture is a joint initiative, and includes assistance from GNIC, Tropical Shipping, the Guyana Rice Development Board and the Civil Defence Commission. The tropical storm which struck the small Caribbean island has not only left severe damage in its wake, but has also left 20 people dead.

Minister likely to establish escrow account - to help expedite key road projects
First Lady Mrs. Sandra Granger sitting at the head table along with Anita Barker, a students of the Friendship Primary School as well as the school's head teacher, Karen Dey
Skills training programme launched for Buxton-Friendship youths Residents or Buxton-Friendship and surrounding communities on Monday welcomed the launch of a project that is aimed at educating and empowering their youth population. The Buxton Youth Development Initiative, which is the brainchild of First Lady Mrs. Sandra Granger, was officially launched at the Friendship Primary School. The project is designed to prepare young adults for the world of work by providing them with training in the areas of Information Communication Technology (ICT), literacy and numeracy, entrepreneurship, and sexual reproductive health.
The First Lady who was present at the launch said that, “We cannot build a strong nation unless our communities are strong." She urged the youths to take full advantage of this opportunity to better their lives. At the end of the programme, participants will be awarded with a certificate, which is accredited by the Board of Industrial Training (BIT). The Buxton Youth Development Initiative is a pilot project that is being spearheaded by the Office of the First Lady. Similar projects will be rolled out in other communities across Guyana. (Ministry of the Presidency)
MINISTER of Public Infrastructure (MPI), David Patterson is reportedly mulling setting up an escrow account to give his ministry more leverage in expediting key road projects. The minister himself made the disclosure Monday during a press conference, in response to queries about the delay in the completion the Caribbean Development Bank-funded Vreed-enHoop to Hydronie road project. “It is a perennial issue the Ministry is battling; it plagued the East Bank and East Coast road projects, and this one has fallen prey to that,” he said by way of explanation, adding: “It baffled me that the Ministry would have gone out to tender, knowing these problems, yet continued to do so.” The problem at reference has to do with the length of time it takes the utility companies, namely the Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL), Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI), and Guyana Telephone and Telegraph (GT&T), to remove whatever paraphernalia of theirs that may be hampering a road project. “We find great difficulty and sloth when they use our parapets, which would have been done by the Ministry. When we ask them to relocate, we don’t ask them for free relocation,” the minister said. The idea of an escrow account, the Minister said, has already been discussed with officials from the companies in question. “I have informed them during meetings….and I hope with the agreement of my colleagues at Cabinet that the time may come for us to probably charge a minimal fee to the utilities companies to put into an escrow account,” Minister Patterson said, adding: “Should we need to proceed with road expansions, we would just have to take those funds out of the account without being subjected to the whims and fancies, and technical availabilities of the companies, to relocate.”

A section of the gathering
MINISTER of Social Protection Volda Lawrence has said that institutions are not the answer to the needs of vulnerable children. “I have said it, and I believe it, that children should not be institutionalised,” she said. “Governments cannot raise children; it takes a family to raise children,” she told attendees last Saturday at the 10th Anniversary celebrations of the Yarrowkabra-based organisation, A Sanctuary. Singling out the organisation as being living testimony of the success of bringing up orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in a Home, as opposed to raising them in an Institution, Minister Lawrence said: “A Sanctuary... provides a virtual safe-home for vulnerable children. The Home ensures the children are cared for and protected from the throes of discrimination and deprivation; exploitation and abuse, be it physical, verbal, emotional or sexual. “More than that, it speaks to the spiritual, educational, psychosocial and emotional needs of the children, while teaching them life skills, evidently, under an environment where peace
and love abound.” ‘A SANCTUARY’ WAS FOUNDED ** Previously, institutional care [in government-run facilities] constituted an important response to OVC in Guyana. But in time, government came to realise that it was almost impossible to monitor the type of care being administered at residential children’s homes. According to the Policy Framework for Orphans and Vulnerable Children, “There are no regulatory mechanisms in place to set or monitor minimum employment standards, or guide caregivers in institutions that care for children. The care provided was inadequate and contributed negatively to the physical, psychological, and emotional health of the child.” The recommended alternatives to institutionalised care, the Policy Framework says, include “Placement and guardianship in the form of fostering, adoption and approved homes.” In the circumstance, the Ministry, in consultation with UNICEF (The United Nations Children’s Fund), took a bold and productive initiative to provide children with alternatives to residential care, preferring families who are able to provide them with nonexploitive kinship care, such as that which ‘A Sanctuary’ provides. **Minister Lawrence recalled ten years ago, when Elder Glenys Smith told her of her dream to open up a home for orphans and vulnerable children in Guyana, she thought it almost ludicrous and wondered why would she leave all she had acquired in the United States to come and open up a home for less fortunate children here. Recalling that when the initiative was launched at its first venue, Vlissengen Road, she was there, she said what struck her, was that it was not like the usual [government run] children’s home that she would have visited in Guyana. “But this was a real home where children did not feel that they were there for a time, and that they had found a [lasting] home. That realisation today, has borne fruit, based on the testimonies that I’ve heard from the children,” the minister summed up. Against this backdrop, and assessing the impact of
A Sanctuary’s programme over the last 10 years, Ms. Lawrence said she could now only describe the Directors, Romeo and Glenys Smith as ‘bold and faithful’. “You have been faithful to hearing the word of God, and bold enough to step out by faith,” the minister said, adding “Through it all, I want to say to you, that you have been uniquely blessed, to come out from where you were [your comfort zone], leaving all behind…” Today, nestled in the heart of the forested Yarrowkabra, on the Soesdyke Linden Highway, A Sanctuary is a picturesque homestead, spreads across acres of agricultural land, dotted with dormitories, administrative offices and living quarters; Chapel; a mess hall (kitchen and dining facilities); classrooms; a guest house; cycling track; with cool black water brooks running through. Their greatest satisfaction, the directors contend, is to see the lives of the children positively transformed; teachers making selfless sacrifice and being positive parental role models in the environment with everyone living as one big family. The testimonies were many, but most impacting was the story of their most accomplished student who had passed through two institutions, was on the brink of giving up; came to ‘A Sanctuary where he was shown love and acceptance, and adapted to the rules of the entity. He entered for the CXC Examination, did well, and is now attending the University of Guyana. Initially the Smiths dug deep into their pockets, and with help from the Ministry of Labour; occasionally from a few private entities to keep the programme running. A Sanctuary’ which receives generous donations from friends and private businesses; entities such as Food for the Poor and a few private businesses and assured donations from Food for the Poor. Today, it is funded by representatives of Brooklyn Tabernacle Church, founded by the late Pastor Yvonne Retemyer-Williams. Also joining in celebration, were visiting representatives of the Executive Committee of donor Brooklyn Tabernacle; representatives of local Churches; ‘A Sanctuary’s’ Alumni and matriarch of Brooklyn Tabernacle, Elder Louise Norton.

These pointer brooms at the New Guyana Marketing wharf at Charity have been produced by Pomeroon farmers
Pomeroon farmers producing pointer brooms for export - as a coconut tree by-product
POMEROON farmers are now producing pointer brooms from branches of coconut trees as a by-product of the coconut industry. These pointer brooms are reportedly in demand in Georgetown, the capital city, and in other Caribbean countries; and the enterprise has created employment for a number of persons in the Pomeroon. Farmers are reportedly responding to President David Granger’s call to add value to their products, and have a ready market for their pointer brooms at Charity. Brought by business persons, the brooms are taken to Georgetown, where they are sold. (Rajendra Prabulall in Essequibo)
Sugar target 227,443 tonnes - for this year
THE Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) has produced 9,441 tonnes of sugar in its 7th week of production, the highest recorded weekly production since 2012. GuySuCo, in a statement yesterday, said this was made possible through major contributions from Skeldon, Albion, Rose Hall and Blairmont estates which have surpassed their weekly production targets and a 95% achievement by Wales Estate, earning workers weekly incentives. The achievement was not without its challenges with strikes and poor cane harvester turnout being recorded at Blairmont at 56%. This has resulted in lower than average punt weight (5.42 tonnes) for the week at that location compared with the industry week’s average of 6.35 tonnes. Skeldon, Albion, Rose Hall and East Demerara estates all recorded over 70% Cane Harvesters attendance for the said week. “Further to meetings with the union to address this critical area at Wales Estate, improved attendance was seen, from below 50% for the last three crops to above 60% for this current crop,” GuySuCo stated. It said the improved cane supply to the factories resulted in better factory performance. Skeldon estate has performed commendably for the crop to date and this has resulted in continuous supply of electricity to the grid. For the week just concluded, Skeldon exported 1,184,000 KWh from its turbine generators using bagasse fuel while 24,148,000 KWh has been exported to the grid for the year to date. Sugar production to date is 46,883 tonnes for the crop and 128,026 tonnes for the year to date. The target for the second crop remains at 146,300 tonnes with production for the year projected at 227,443 tonnes.

Uncapped Fekete, Bancroft Bent Street named for Bangladesh tour crowned... From back page
(REUTERS) - Tasmania fast bowler Andrew Fekete and Western Australia opening batsman Cameron Bancroft are in sight of a Test debut after being named in an inexperienced Australia squad for next month's tour of Bangladesh. The uncapped pair are the newcomers in captain Steven Smith's 15-man squad, which includes 10 players with less than 10 Tests, as Australia look to rebuild following a string of retirements after the Ashes defeat in England. A late-bloomer who made his first-class debut only two years ago, 30-yearold Fekete will reinforce a pace attack shorn of Mitchell Johnson and Josh Hazlewood. The pair have been rested after a "heavy workload" in recent months, Cricket Australia said yesterday. Fekete will battle oneTest bowler Pat Cummins for a place in the Tests in Chittagong (October 9) and Dhaka (October 17), with left-armer Mitchell Starc and seasoned workhorse Peter Siddle expected to lead the

attack. Bancroft, a 22-year-old right-hander who can also keep wicket, enjoyed a prolific tour with Australia-A in India and will hope to clinch one of two vacant opening spots following the retirement of Chris Rogers and an injury to David Warner. Two-Test right-hander Joe Burns is another opening candidate, along with Queensland captain Usman Khawaja, who has been re-
called for the first time in two years. Batsman Shaun Marsh has again been spared the selectors' axe despite failing twice during the Ashes in England when handed his chance. "Our desire is that these players form the nucleus of our top-order, alongside Steve Smith and David Warner, for the foreseeable future, form and fitness permitting," selectors chairman
Australia to flog injured paceman Starc until he breaks down MELBOURNE, Australia (Reuters) - Australia plan to bowl paceman Mitchell Starc until he breaks down with a chronic ankle injury that will require surgery and a four-month spell from cricket, selector Rod Marsh said yesterday. Starc is suffering bone spurs in an ankle but has been retained in Australia's 15-man squad for their tour of Bangladesh, even as fellow left-armer Mitchell Johnson and Josh Hazlewood are rested. "My understanding of Starc is that he can keep going until it actually gets a hell of a lot worse, and then he will have to have an operation," selectors chairman Marsh told reporters in Adelaide. "Rest won't help him. "He has got spurs in his ankle and there is a bit of bone that has broken off and floating and every now and then it gets into a position where it is just chronically painful.
Mitchell Starc
"Eventually it is going to have to be removed but it will take another three or four months after the operation for him to be able to play again. "We have got some pretty important cricket coming including the T20 World Cup and we would like to see Starc lead the attack for that ... but if he can't, he can't. But at the moment
the plan is for him to keep going." Named the best player at the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand earlier this year, Starc has been troubled by his ankle for months and needed pain-killing injections to get him through the Ashes series, which Australia lost 3-2. He missed the fourth one-day international against England but after having a cortisone injection, returned for the decisive fifth and final match in Manchester on Sunday which the tourists won to seal the series 3-2. After five months on the road, Starc will return home to Australia for 10 days' rest before packing his bags again to head to the subcontinent for the two-Test tour of Bangladesh. "To be honest, it's nice to be going home for a little bit (to have) a few days in my own bed and see the family," Starc said in Manchester.
Rod Marsh said in a media release. S e v e n - Te s t b a t s m a n Adam Voges has been installed as an unlikely vicecaptain in place of Warner, who was scratched from the tour after breaking a thumb in England. Hard-hitting limitedovers specialist Glenn Maxwell has also been recalled for the first time since the tour of the United Arab Emirates last year against Pakistan. Leg-spinner Fawad Ahmed was omitted after failing to impress in his limited chances in the Caribbean and England, opening the door for left-arm spinner Stephen O'Keefe, who played his sole Test in the UAE last year and bowled well in the recent A tour of India. Squad: Steven Smith (capt.), Adam Voges (vice captain), Cameron Bancroft, Joe Burns, Pat Cummins, Andrew Fekete, Usman Khawaja, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh, Shaun Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Peter Nevill, Stephen O'Keefe, Peter Siddle, Mitchell Starc.

volleyed it into the top left hand corner, which sent the crowd into frenzy. Sparta Boss completely shifted the match with two quick goals a minute apart, compliments of Grant and Carl Tudor to level 6-6 and set up a nail-biting finish. However, Nelson then scored a goal that rocked the venue with roars of celebrations in the 26th minute. That goal sealed his hat-trick but hungry for more goals Nelson put the victory beyond doubt the very next minute with his helmet-trick goal which took the fight out of Sparta. In third-place playoff, Festival City emerged victorious against West Front Road-Gold is Money 10-6. Eon Alleyne led the way with a second-half helmettrick, scoring in the 19th, 20th, 23rd and 25th minute while doubles from Dwayne
Lawrence (6th & 12th), Solomon Austin (19th & 29th) minute and Daniel Favourite (28th & 30th) were enough to overpower the opposition. Darren Benjamin and Randolph Wagner each recorded a brace and Hubert Pedro supported with one with an own goal in their favour and the fourth-place accolade. Festival City went home with $125 000 while West Front Road for their showing received $75 000 both accompanied by trophies.

The 28-year-old McDowall and his ‘Vincy Heat’ teammates; defenders Jolanshoy McDowall and Keith James arrived in Guyana after helping their country to the next round of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers where they (St Vincent) will now clash with the USA. Looking ahead to Friday’s encounter against Alpha United, Ali believes that his club will come out on top and he sees the game as the perfect way to start their title campaign. The last time the two sides met was in the final of the Kashif and Shanghai Football tournament at the Guyana National Stadium in April, where Slingerz FC
walked away with the $4M prize following a 2-0 victory. “Alpha United are a good team and you always have to go to them well prepared. Even though, the last time we met we defeated them. Slingerz will be pulling out all the stops for them in the League” But Alpha United’s track record speaks for itself and clearly Ali’s team would have to back up the profound declaration made by their boss. Nicknamed the ‘Hammers’ Alpha United have won five consecutive National titles from 2009 – 2014, a third place CFU Club Championship finish (2011) and are the only team from Guyana to play at the CONCACAF Champions League.

Djokovic conquers Federer at U.S. Open for 10th major title By Steve Keating NEW YORK, USA (Reuters) - Novak Djokovic closed out the grand slam campaign in style beating long-time rival Roger Federer to claim the U.S. Open on Sunday, leaving the Serb a hair away from one of the greatest seasons of all-time. The 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 victory gave Djokovic three of the year's four grand slam titles with a loss to Stan Wawrinka in the French Open final his only blemish. Although there was no way to tell how big his fourset loss to Wawrinka would be, it ended up denying the Serb a chance to join the men's calendar year grand slam club that includes just two members, Rod Laver (twice) and Don Budge. "It's been an incredible season. Next to 2011 probably the best season of my life," said Djokovic, who won the same three grand slam titles in 2011. "But I'm enjoying this year more than any previous one because I'm a husband and I'm a father and that makes it even sweeter. "I love this sport." It was the 10th career major for Djokovic but only his second U.S. Open.
The 28-year-old Serb had known more frustration than success on the Flushing Meadows hardcourts having previously reached the final five times and lifting the trophy just once in 2011. It was more grand slam misery for the 34-year-old Swiss who, for the second consecutive grand slam, reached the final only to be denied an 18th title by Djokovic. "I had a wonderful last two weeks," Federer, who has been stuck on 17 grand slam titles since 2012, said after competing in his first U.S. Open final in six years. "I'm very pleased where my game's at. "Being back in the final is where you want to be. Playing against a great champion like Novak is a massive challenge and I enjoyed it. I thought it was a great match." Meeting for the 42nd time the rivalry between the elegant Swiss and the dominating Djokovic has developed into one of the sporting world's best and the latest instalment, perhaps fittingly, deadlocked the head-to-head series at 21-21. While the women's draw produced an improbable allItalian final between two players virtually unknown outside of tennis circles the
men's showcase featured the sport's biggest two names and dynamic figures. The buzz lacking in Saturday's women's final gave way to an electric atmosphere inside Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday with David Beckham, Sean Connery and Robert Redford among the many celebrities taking in what turned into a night match after the start was delayed three hours by rain. UNFLAPPABLE DJOKOVIC When Federer and Djokovic finally took to the court they were slow to find their rhythm and footing, particularly the top-seeded Serb, who crashed to the surface in the opening set and badly scraped his arm and leg. But no damage was done, as the unflappable Djokovic quickly regained his composure and balance. Federer, broken just twice the entire tournament, was living dangerously from the start by facing three break points in the opening game but managing to save all three. The Swiss, however, could not fight off another three break chances on his next service game as Djokovic made the breakthrough to go up 2-1.

Federer broke back immediately but the Serb would quickly regain the advantage with yet another break to move ahead 4-3 then held serve to take the opening set from a shaky Federer. The second set was a test of wills as Federer, with the crowd squarely in his corner, went toe-to-toe with a defiant Djokovic, the tugof-war highlighted by a tense 15-minute 10th game, which Djokovic held to level at 5-5.
But it was Federer ending the set with a big fist pump after breaking Djokovic with a stinging crosscourt winner that brought the capacity crowd to its feet. The effort, however, appeared to take something out of Federer as Djokovic, sensing his chance, claimed the crucial break at 5-4 in the next set to take control. Djokovic kept up the pressure with a break to open the fourth and then again
to go up 5-2 to put the U.S. Open within his grasp. But Federer would not go down without a fight and digging into his reserves, the Swiss broke and held serve to cut the deficit to 5-4 and put the crowd in full roar. With Djokovic again serving for the match, Federer got three more break chances but this time the Serb did not falter and clinched the title when Federer's return sailed long.

Botham and Vaughan mourn England hard man Brian Close LONDON, England (Reuters) - Former England captains Ian Botham and Michael Vaughan have led the tributes to Brian Close after the hard man of cricket died from lung cancer at the age of 84. Yorkshireman Close was the young Botham's first county skipper at Somerset in the 1970s when the great all-rounder burst on to the scene with his good friend, swashbuckling West Indies batsman Viv Richards. "The best captain a young player could ever have wished for! Myself & IVA (Richards) owe you so much," Botham said on his Twitter account yesterday. Close, England's young-
est-ever Test cricketer and the man who had the courage to deliberately fend off bouncers from the fearsome 1976 West Indies pacemen with his chest, died on Sunday. The batting all-rounder made his debut at the age of 18 against New Zealand in 1949 and went on to play 22 Tests, captaining England seven times. "Such a sad day," said Vaughan. "He was a true inspiration to all of us. Thanks Brian for helping me as a kid growing up at Yorkshire. "I once had an lbw problem. Closey, aged 60, came into the nets and batted without pads 'only way, young man, you will sort your problem'."
Flashback: England's Brian Close takes evasive action after a ball from West Indies bowler Michael Holding hit him on the neck in 1976. (PA Sport)
Close's autobiography 'I Don't Bruise Easily' typified his spirit. Another Yorkshireman, former Test umpire Dickie Bird, recounted a familiar tale involving Close's fielding exploits at short leg, before the invention of helmets. "He'd take anybody on, he had no fear whatsoever," said Bird. "He used to field in front of the bat and was hit on the head once, I remember. "The batsman pulled the ball, it hit him on the head and it flew to cover. Somebody dropped it and Brian's first words were, 'have you caught that?'." Michael Holding was a member of the hostile attack that left bruises all over
Close's body when the-then 45-year-old took on the West Indies. "He was someone who was very tough," said Holding. "When they called him back in 1976 he didn't say 'no, I'm an old man I can't do that'. "He was willing to go out there and fight for his country." Close's last Test innings, in the third match of the 1976 series at Manchester, is part of cricketing folklore. He opened the batting with John Edrich and the pair put on 54 against the likes of Holding and Andy Roberts, fending off repeated short balls.
U.S. expects more indictments in soccer probe ‌Swiss freeze assets By Joshua Franklin and Brian Homewood ZURICH, (Reuters) - U.S. authorities have expanded their investigations into corruption in global soccer and expect to file additional criminal charges, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said yesterday, deepening the crisis surrounding the sport's governing body. As part of a separate Swiss investigation, Switzerland's chief prosecutor said his office had seized property and flats in the Swiss Alps in connection with its probe into corruption inside Zurichbased FIFA. The developments are the latest in the worst crisis in FIFA's 111-year history, which erupted with the arrest of seven senior soccer officials and sports marketing executives over corruption accusations in Zurich in May. "What I can say is that separate and apart from the pending indictment, our investigation remains active and ongoing, and has in fact expanded since May," Lynch said at a news conference in Zurich alongside Swiss Attorney-General Michael Lauber. "Based upon that cooperation (with Swiss authorities) and new evidence, we do anticipate pursuing additional charges against individuals
and entities," Lynch said. She added that the global response to the FIFA scandal had sent a clear message: "You are on the wrong side of progress and do a disservice to the integrity of this wonderful sport." Lauber said the Swiss investigation had not yet reached the half-way mark and his office had continued to build up its mountain of seized data. Switzerland's Office of the Attorney General (OAG) has so far gathered around 11 terabytes of electronic data -- up from nine in the OAG's June update -- and 121 different bank accounts have been flagged for suspicious activity. The OAG had said last month it had received 103 suspicious financial activity reports for its investigation. SWISS ALPS ASSETS Lauber also said the OAG had conducted house searches in western Switzerland and seized apartments in the Swiss mountains which could have been used to launder money. "Where proportional and needed, financial assets have been seized, including real estate, for example flats in the Swiss Alps," Lauber said. "At this point I would like to emphasis that investments in real estate can be misused
for the purpose of moneylaundering." However, he said he was surprised at an apparent lack of interest from authorities abroad. "Since we opened our criminal case against unknown persons, almost no foreign jurisdiction has requested mutual legal assistance so far," he said, adding that he did not include the United States in his comment. "One can only speculate why this is and how it is." The United States has indicted nine soccer officials and five executives, charging them with racketeering, money-laundering and wire fraud for orchestrating multi-million dollar bribery schemes over 24 years. Separately, Swiss authorities launched an investigation into whether corruption was a factor in Russia and Qatar's successful bids to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. FIFA president Sepp Blatter has not been accused of wrongdoing by Swiss or U.S. authorities, but sources have said the FBI is examining his stewardship of the organisation. However, U.S. and European law enforcement have said no criminal charges are currently pending against Blatter, who has denied any wrongdoing. Lynch would not comment on whether Blatter could become a target of the U.S. investigation and whether he would face arrest
if he travelled to the United States or other countries with which the United States has close law enforcement ties. "I'm not going to comment at this time on individu-
als who may or may not be the subject of the next round of arrests," Lynch said. "So therefore I am not able to give you information about Mr Blatter's travel plans."
Blatter has said he would step down as FIFA president after his successor is decided in an extraordinary FIFA congress in February.

The Bahamas have won the overall title eight times and this is the sixth time the event is being hosted in that country.
NOTABLE DATES LENNOX Beckles remains one of the most skilful and tactically sound boxers to have come out of Guyana. Most of the `old timers’ believe his name should be called when the top five from these shores are being mentioned. Many who have seen him in action are adamant that his skill and ring craft are unmatched by any of the current crop of fighters. During his prime, the quick-fisted Beckles brushed aside the likes of Caesar Barrow, Rugged Mack, Vernon Lewis, Johnny DePeiza and Eddie Perkins just to name a few. Beckles was 24 years old when he clashed with Brazilian Joao Henrique on September 15, 1967 in Sao Paulo. The Brazilian was undefeated in 17 fights at the time and three years younger that the Guyanese who retired in the seventh round. The defeat caused Beckles to slump to five defeats in 31 fights (including two draws). He made his professional debut in September 1960 and reached 10 fights without being defeated. His first blemish came in May 1964 against Percy Hayles. Beckles was defeated via a unanimous decision. Fellow Guyanese Brian Muller was Beckles’ last opponent. The fight between the two took place in Guyana on May 27, 1979 and Muller was adjudged the winner. Beckles won 33 fights, lost 13 and drew two.

Holder ready to embrace leadership challenge
New West Indies Test captain Jason Holder is ready to embrace leadership challenge.
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) – Newly appointed West Indies Test captain Jason Holder says he is looking forward to the responsibility the new role will bring but says he does not feel under any pressure as he gears up for the assignment. The 23-year-old fast bowler was announced to replace Denesh Ramdin as Test captain earlier this month, ahead of next month’s tour of Sri Lanka. Holder, also the OneDay International captain, is a relative newcomer to international cricket with just eight Tests and 33 ODIs behind him, but believes he has what is required to handle the responsibility of leadership. “At this present time there’s no pressure on me. Obviously it is something I’ve done before. I’m the captain of the one-day team,” Holder said here yesterday in his first official media conference. “It’s obviously some added responsibility in the Test arena (but) I don’t think it is something that I can’t handle, if not I would not have taken the job. It’s about me gelling the guys together and getting the best out of everybody.” He added: “It is something I am looking forward to. I’ve done it a little bit in the one-day arena and it is
about translating that into the Test arena now. I’ve obviously led teams before, I’ve led Barbados in youth cricket and I’ve led West Indies-A teams and stuff like that so I’m not in a sense new to it. “It is something that I’ve handled in the past before and I don’t expect to falter in this arena in a sense. I’m really looking forward to it, I’m always up for the challenge and I will try to take it on as best as I possibly can.” Holder’s rise has been meteoric since his international debut just over two years ago, and has become an entrenched member of West Indies in all formats of the game. Picked for his bowling, he has pressed his case as a genuine all-rounder with a maiden Test century against England in Antigua last April and an unbeaten 82 against the touring Australians in Kingston last June. Holder said, however, he did not envision the burden of captaincy getting in the way of his continued development as a cricketer. “It is international cricket, it is international sport. You have to expect these things (leadership roles) as they always come up in international sport,” he told journalists. “It’s more responsibility but I don’t think that should impede my cricket. My cricket is at heart first. I have to play as a cricketer first and lead the guys afterward and I think once I do
that, I don’t think it (captaincy) should get in the way of my actual cricket.” He continued: “I always look up to the big occasions. I think that’s where you’re remembered. People really remember you on the big stage at the big moments. If I can put my hand up the majority of times in those situations I think I can leave something behind and people can look back and say, ‘I remember Jason Holder for this particular scenario or as a particular individual;.” Appointed ODI captain last December and having presided over a World Cup campaign that saw the Windies reach the quarter-finals before bowing out, Holder said he was hoping to build on the work he had started with the one-day unit. “It’s been a short stint so far as one-day captain. I think over a period of time I think you would get a good analysis of how I’ve been,” he said. “Thus far I’ve had pretty good relationships with most of the guys in the dressing room and I can see it building over the next few months and hopefully in years to come. But as I said, it is about getting the relationship building among one another and moving forward as one collective unit.” Holder’s first assignment will be the tour of Sri Lanka which comprises two Tests, three ODIs and two Twenty20 Internationals, and runs from October 8 to November 12.

Team Guyana dominate Group 4 Superbikes at CMRC GUYANA’S team to the third leg of the Caribbean Motor Racing Championships (CMRC) put in a dominant performance in the Group four and Superstock section of the recently concluded Barbados Voyage.
SUPERBIKE GLORY Guyana’s superbikers were clearly the dominant factor in Sunday’s events as they seemed to cope better with the wet slippery Bushy Park surface. Stephen Vieira led from flag to flag on all three occasions but was penalised 5 seconds in the final race for jumping the lights. Nonetheless, the Guyanese still stormed the podium, Stephen beating his two cousins Elliot (second) and Matthew (third) in Race one. Race two saw only a difference in the lower podium spot with Stephen again taking first, Joel Neblett second and Elliot third while the Elliot was promoted to first in the last race ahead of Neblett and the demoted Stephen. Elliot now holds the bike

lap record at the Bushy Park Raceway, a 1:04.269 after shattering Stephen’s last year’s record. MIXED FORTUNES FOR CARS Meanwhile In the
Group 4 division, Team Guyana, spearheaded by current points leader Kristian Jeffrey, braved the wet conditions to outshine the competition. In Race 1, he got an early jump on the Ford
Focus of Barbadian Roger Mayers, but two corners later had to relinquish that as the sheer speed of the Focus took over; extending the gap after every lap. However, a blown front deferential left Barbados
top contender limping and to the mercy of Jeffrey who quickly capitalised by rounding the outside and blowing down the straight; an easy win in Race 1. In Race two, Jeffrey led from flag to flag, sur-
viving some early pressure from Trinidadian Kristian Boodoosingh and battling the rains. Race three saw Jeffrey pull out a gap after just one lap but fell to mechanical troubles (broken back deferential), making it the first time he has not completed a CMRC race. He was, however, given the Champion Driver trophy for Group 4 after racking up those two wins. His father Kevin had problems gripping the track all day while Mark Vieira had sensor issues which kept him out of CMRC action. In Group 3, Danny Persaud, Guyana’s lone contender suffered mechanical issues and opted for an engine swap on Saturday night but still could not sort the problems with his Miata out, running only one race. Group 2 saw Nazim Gafoor and his machine feature several times but mechanical troubles often got the better of them.
Slingerz FC ‘boss’ declares Lara applauds Holder’s appointment as Test captain ownership of Stag Elite League title ROSEAU, Dominica (CMC) – Legendary former West Indies batsman Brian Lara has thrown his full backing behind newly appointed Test skipper Jason Holder. Lara, himself a former captain, said here yesterday the way Holder handled the oneday captaincy during this year’s ICC Cricket World Cup proved that he possesses the mettle to deal with the challenges of the Test captaincy. “I think it’s an excellent choice. I saw the young man while working during the World Cup in Australia,” Lara said. “And the pressure that he came under, personally with his bowling and even as a captain, and the way he handled it. He’s very eloquent and big in stature and he reminds me of another version of a Clive Lloyd.” Holder’s elevation, first as one-day captain last December and more recently in the Test format, has drawn criticism in some quarters because of his relative inexperience. The Barbadian seamer is the second youngest-ever Win-
dies Test captain at 23 and has played just eight Tests and 33 One-Day Internationals. He replaced the more experienced Denesh Ramdin who was sacked after just 15 months in charge. However, Lara, who led West Indies in 47 of his 131 Tests, said once Holder received the necessary support from the team and the West Indies Cricket Board, he could succeed. “I have a lot of belief in the fact that he can do well if he gets the support from the players but more importantly from his employers, the West Indies Cricket Board,” said the global cricket icon. “I still believe we are still in the same mind-set as we were 10, 15, 20 years ago which is not good for West Indies cricket and I hope they can change that a bit, and the likes of (chief selector) Clive Lloyd being around and some younger faces being around, lend to the fact that there might be something on the horizon.” Lara was one of the most outstanding batsmen of the

contemporary era, compiling 11 953 runs with 34 hundreds, at an average of 52. He retired in 2007 following the first-ever ICC World Cup in the Caribbean. The 46-year-old visited here yesterday as a Special Envoy of the Trinidad and Tobago government, holding talks with Dominica’s Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, on how best T&T could assist with recovery efforts following the devastation caused by the passage of Tropical Storm Erika last month.
IT all started with a dream; a dream by a ‘West Side’ businessman to have the country’s most dominant football club. Javed Ali, the financier and president of the Slingerz Football Club is the first to stake claim on the lucrative Stag Elite League, which kicks off on Friday, September 18, at the Leonora Track & Field and Football Facility. Ali’s club will play their nemesis Alpha ‘The Hammer’ United in the night’s second match, with Pele and the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) facing off in the opening match. Fruta Conquerors, Monedderlust, the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) and Buxton United are the other teams competing in the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) marquee event which is being sponsored by Ansa McAl, COURTS Guyana Inc and E-Networks. A total of $15M with
one of two spots to represent Guyana at the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club Championship is on the horizon and Ali is making it clear that “Slingerz will win this title with ease”. The Vergenoegen businessman is not known to be boastful, so with the always humble Ali making such a declaration, for sure, he will grab the attention of the competition. “It’s an honour to get a chance to participate in the League,” Ali exclaimed, adding “from the inception, a National League title was what we had our eyes on”. Playing under the West Demerara Football Association (WDFA), Slingerz FC are currently unbeaten within their jurisdiction with their distinguished record covering over two years. In fact, only Alpha United and the GDF can boast of defeating the ‘West Side’ juggernauts but to Ali, the club’s accolades mean nothing without claiming a na-
tional title. The Slingerz FC ‘boss’ sees the Stag Elite League as the “the window for the next level”, further stating, “This is what my club was built for – to participate in the league and move on to the CFU and hopefully the CONCACAF.” “If it wasn’t for the league, my club would’ve been out of football because we have nowhere else to go and nothing more to win or to prove. “We won almost everything, we had a chance to play in the Banks tournament we won it, we played in the Kashif and Shanghai and won that too and also we played the Mayor’s Cup and we won it after finishing runner-up the first year. So basically, everything for football we’ve won,” Ali pointed out. Apart from their already strong line-up Slingerz FC recently signed National U-23 forward Domini Garnett from Caledonia AIA Turn to page 19 ►

A SOLD-OUT crowd witnessed a spectacular night of competition as the curtain came down on the GT Beer Futsal tournament with the remarkable Bent Street side claiming the inaugural title over Sparta Boss in the final at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall on Sunday. Bent Street put a fitting end to their eighth finals run with an 8-6 win over Sparta to end their five-win streak and cart off the top prize of $500 000. Sparta had to settle for the runner-up prize of $250 000. Minutes before the action unravelled GT Beer brand manager Jeff Clement, NAMILCO Finance Controller Fitzroy McLeod, GFF Finance Director Kareem Jones, Petra Organisation Director Troy Mendonca and GFF Accountant Christine Jones met the first GT Beer Futsal finalists. The tournament favourites from the beginning, Sparta drew first blood in the fourth minute when the consistent Sheldon Shepherd sent a shot from the right that was deflected and made its way into the top of the net. Bent Street with an emphatic answer two minutes later tied things up to heat up both
sides of the crowd Colin Nelson placed a powerful freekick into the lower right corner from the left one minute before he gave his side their first lead of the night. Shepherd levelled the score line in the ninth but Bent Street went into the half leading after Okeene Fraser scored in the 14th. In the second half, Sparta got things going immediately scoring one minute in, as Shepherd recorded his third easily, following a one-two pass combination with Travis Grant. Sparta then featured in a defensive error which allowed Bent Street to lead 4-3. Phillips who played a part in the own goal made up for the error and equalised. Another error by Sparta put Bent Street back on top much to the displeasure of the Sparta supporters. A simple back pass to create some room went under the leg of the goalkeeper Maurice Prince who tipped the score line 5-4. Bent Street approached victory lane seven minutes before the regulation time whistle when Steffon Ramsay intercepted a lobbed clearance on the right side of the field and Turn to page 19 â–ş
