APNU’s position on hinterland development is ‘hypocritical’ -President Ramotar

By Ravin Singh

President Donald Ramotar

PRESIDENT Donald Ramotar last week responding to allegations by A Partnership for National Unity that his administration has: “deliberately underfunded physical infrastructure needed for real hinterland development” related to the media that: “maybe they should not have cut the budget… they don’t have shame to make some of these statements.”

The Head of State’s response came after executive

member of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Dr. George Norton last Friday at the party’s weekly press conference issued a statement blaming the People’s Progressive Party Civic’s Administration for “deliberately underfunding the physical infrastructure needed for real hinterland development.”

APNU is contending that because of these “deliberate” acts by the administration, they (the Government) are now faced with waves of angry protests in these hinterland regions. “It has deliberately undermined democratically-elected regional

and local councils needed to administer the vast territory” the statement said.

The party pointed to several hinterland regions such as the Potaro-Siparuni area, revealing that some of the party’s Members of Parliament (MPs) related that secondary school children were fetching water to their dorms because of a

Whittaker urges private sector to get involved in Clean-Up Georgetown project

By Derwayne Wills

MINISTER of Local Government and Regional Development, Mr. Norman Whittaker is again urging the private sector to get involved in the $500M Clean-Up Georgetown project to make it a success story.

At a meeting of the Technical Committee of the Georgetown Solid Waste Management Programme on Wednesday at the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development, Kingston, Natural Resources and the Environment Minister Robert Persaud and Public Works Minister Robeson Benn met with subject officials from the Georgetown City Municipality and the Environmental Protection Agency to brief them on the progress made with regards to the multi-million dollar joint venture.

It was at this meeting that Minister Whittaker noted that although there had been attempts to involve the Private Sector, “I am not aware that anything substantial has come out of Minister of Local those engagements.”

Government and The Minister said that Regional Development although efforts had been Mr. Norman Whittaker made to meet with representatives from the private sector, “we have pounds of paper reports and little that follows it.” He urged, however, that the sustainability of the all-encompassing project requires the active involvement of all stakeholders.

In recent times, Whittaker had urged members of the sector to take action to help to improve the garbage situation in the country.

He had said that while the private sector has been very vocal in the call for effective solid waste management, they have contributed considerably to the situation. He further said that while engaging the sector is not out of the cards,

“It would be good to see business people coming together and taking responsibility for streets - they are among the biggest contributors of garbage, using vagrants to dump any and everywhere” –Whittaker. a more beneficial approach would be to invite the sector in each community.

“I would wish to see business people coming together and taking responsibility for streets,” the Local Government Minister stressed, adding that “the private sector makes the biggest noise and they are among the biggest contributors of garbage using social rejects [vagrants] to dump any and everywhere.”

COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS He said: “If we engage the business people within the

locale where they are familiar with the circumstances…

[And] where they can be put under pressure by the people [of the community] to be part of the implementation and sustainability and where they have the local knowledge; it might be the better way to go.”

Whittaker said collaborative efforts with private sector entities would be facilitated through the Technical Committee of the Georgetown Solid Waste Management Programme. The Committee was established as an interagency effort and includes representatives from the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment, and the Georgetown Mayor & City Council (M&CC).

The Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment in June held a National Conversation on Solid Waste Management where subject Minister, Mr. Robert Persaud bemoaned that the private sector representatives had not attended the event even though they were invited.

The private sector is yet to communicate its willingness to be a part of the vigorous campaign for a better, environmentally conscious Guyana.

APNU’s position on hinterland ... from page 2 broken well. Moreso, in the Upper Demerara-Upper Berbice Region, it was said by APNU that: “Regional Democratic Councillors supported residents’ call to block the Linden-Kwakwani Road protest against the deplorable state of the road; the roadway have been deteriorating for over ten years without serious long-term repairs.”

As such the party said that: “The People’s Progressive Party/Civic for over two decades has demonstrated its unwillingness to improve the quality of life of the indigenous residents of the hinterland and to develop the physical infrastructure there.”

Responding to these allegations however, President Ramotar stressed that: “Well then they [the Opposition] should not have cut the Amerindian development budget.”

He noted that the party’s position can be described as “hypocritical” taking into consideration that the Amerindian Development Fund was cut by them, the opposition. He alluded to the fact that: “They’re the ones who have been cutting from the budget things like interior airstrips and all

of that.”

According to President Ramotar : “When they [the opposition] were in Government the Amerindian communities were practically in total ruins.”

As such, the President urged the media to examine specific areas such as education in these communities such as Waramadong who has done exceptionally well at this year’s Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations. “I’m speaking of all the schools in region 9 being better… I’m speaking about Region 1 where you have students within the top one hundred of this country…. I’m speaking about all of these things” the Head of State noted concluding that: “What I can say is that they [the opposition] don’t have shame to make some of these statements.”

The Amerindian Development fund was cut earlier this year when the combined opposition voted against the 1.1 billion-dollar initiative. The Opposition side of the National Assembly made it known to the government that the funds were being cut because they felt that the monies were being used by the administration to garner political support.

Israeli air strike kills three Hamas commanders in Gaza

Ukraine’s Poroshenko talks tough ahead of meetings with Merkel, Putin

By Nidal al-Mughrabi and Maayan Lubell

By Richard Balmforth

(Reuters) - ISRAEL killed three senior Hamas commanders in the Gaza Strip in an air strike on Thursday and said it would continue to target the group’s armed leadership after a ceasefire failed.

Hamas, which dominates Gaza, named the men as Mohammed Abu Shammala, Raed al-Attar and Mohammed Barhoum, the three highest-ranking casualties it has announced since Israel started its offensive six weeks ago.

All three, killed in the bombing of a house in the southern Gaza town of Rafah, had led operations against Israel over the past 20 years, the Islamist movement said. Hospital officials said a four-year-old girl injured in the attack later died of her wounds.

(Reuters) - UKRAINIAN President Petro Poroshenko said on Thursday he would call on Russian President Vladimir Putin to rein in pro-Russian separatists when the two men meet next week and told the Kremlin chief he had “a strong country, a strong army” behind him.

Poroshenko spoke as government forces, despite taking heavy losses themselves, thrust deeper into rebel-held territory in Ukraine’s Russian-speaking east and kept the separatists whom they have battled since April on the back foot.

The Ukrainian battlefield successes, after a faltering start in April when government forces were humiliated, have alarmed some Western governments who fear they could box

Putin dangerously into a corner with no way out to save face.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is scheduled to visit Kiev on Saturday to show her support for Poroshenko - but diplomats say she is also bearing a message that he should consider calling a ceasefire so as not to incur a backlash from Putin.

Poroshenko, who will oversee emotion-charged Independence Day celebrations on Sunday in Kiev in which veterans from the eastern front will take part in a military parade, talked tough on Thursday.

Indicating he too had a political image to defend at home, he told local journalists that in talks in Belarus’s capital of Minsk next Tuesday, at which he will meet Putin, he would “call for the (rebel) fighters to be withdrawn from Ukraine”.

“I am sure we will succeed in this,” he said.

Kiev, supported by the United States and European allies, says Russia has orchestrated the separatists’ rebellions in the Russian-speaking east, and

armed them. Moscow denies this.

STEADY DRIP OF DEATHS At the table in Minsk will also be Putin’s partners in the Russian-led Customs Union, which beckoned unsuccessfully to Kiev to join, and a three-person delegation from the European Union, with which the new Kiev leadership sees Ukraine’s future.

It will be the first meeting between Poroshenko and Putin since a frosty encounter in June in Normandy, France, and has raised prospects of a breakthrough to end a months-long geo-political confrontation as Ukraine has favored integration into mainstream Europe to the dismay of its former Soviet ruler.

The steady drip of government losses continued, with a military spokesman saying 16 members of Ukraine’s interior ministry special forces had been killed in fighting overnight in the town of Ilovaisk near the main regional hub of Donetsk.

Brazil Socialists pick new candidate, target Rousseff BRASILIA (Brazil) (AFP) - Brazil’s Socialist party named popular environmentalist Marina Silva its presidential candidate Wednesday, reshaping the political landscape after her late running mate Eduardo Campos died in a plane crash last week.

Campos’s death has radically transformed the outlook for the October vote, possibly setting up Silva, his former vice presidential candidate, to unseat incumbent Dilma Rousseff in a runoff, according to the latest poll.

“I will give the best I have in me,” said Silva, a 56-year-old former environment minister, after

the announcement.

“Our proposals seek a more just, economically prosperous and socially fair, politically democratic and environmentally sustainable Brazil,” added Silva, whose life story is one of astounding personal mobility.

Born into a poor family of rubber tappers in the Amazon, she only learned to read and write at 16 years old, the start of a meteoric rise to become a figurehead of the country’s environmental movement.

PSB president Roberto Amaral said party leaders had chosen Silva unanimously to replace Campos at the top of the ticket.

LatAm losing fear of legalizing drugs: Ecuador president

G U AT E M A L A C i t y (AFP) - Ecuadoran President Rafael Correa said Tuesday that Latin America is “losing fear” of legalizing drugs after decades of fighting traffickers with ample US prodding but limited success.

The region’s governments have opened talks toward developing a shared stance on legalization, and the topic is no longer off-limits, the leftist leader told a forum on economic development in Guatemala City.

“There’s not a common position in Latin America, (but) that’s under discussion now. People are losing that fear, getting over their taboos,” he told a press conference.

Correa, an economist by training, called for an open debate on which drugs can be legalized and what the health impact would be, with the goal of reducing the violence the war on drugs has unleashed in the region.

Argentina rules out another devaluation of peso BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - The Argentine government on Thursday ruled out a second sharp devaluation of the peso this year, rebuffing calls for a weaker currency from employers who say

runaway inflation is hurting trade competitiveness.

President Cristina Fernandez’s government implemented a shock 20 percent devaluation of the peso in January. The widening

gulf between the official rate and the black market rate since Latin America’s third-biggest economy defaulted on its debt have fueled expectations of another hefty intervention.

Editorial DISHONESTY OF CONSTRUCTION WORKERS It cuts across borders and any divide in the human condition. Carpenters and builders who are entrusted with the construction of someone’s home steal materials to sell cheaply to other dishonest persons like themselves, or give it away clandestinely to relatives and friends. While the homeowner is at work to earn enough to pay workers, they take the time to socialise and relax, while demanding exorbitant pay for the day’s work.

Most often persons, with a dream of finally owning their own home, with all that this implies, visualize what that home would be like, and plan accordingly. They take into consideration the various cost factors and then apply for a loan, which they know that they will most likely spend the rest of their lives to repay, but they also take into consideration that the alternative is most likely to be paying the same monies to live in a building owned by someone else, subject to every type of discomfort, lack of privacy and individual decision-making in furnishing or refurbishing.

Children cannot play for fear of creating a disturbance to others resident in adjoining apartments. If a spoon falls it can create an instance of abuse from someone who is short-tempered and short on tolerance; and worse of all is the dreaded uncertainty of when the landlord will demand that the premises be vacated.

The Government’s housing drive has provided many Guyanese with a plot of land, which they could never have afforded even after a lifetime of striving, given the extant cost-of-living, and this has precipitated a cataclysmic boom in the housing sector, but the individual stories of many homeowners, who have been robbed in some way or another in the building process, is a tragic indict-

ment on the honour of the society; or rather, the lack of it.

One single mother, busy with a hectic working schedule, entrusted all her money to an out-of-town contractor. He lived on the construction site, employed all his relatives, most of whom had never held a hammer in their lives, and paid them exorbitant sums. He even employed a cook at her expense.

She subsequently discovered that it was an alcoholic family, who spent evenings in the bars of the village, then slept off their hangover until late the next day, working desultorily on her home whenever they could, or working on neighbours’ houses on her time for additional income, with her materials to boot. Whenever the contractor met with her to collect more money he described in glowing terms the progress being made. She, overwhelmed with a packed workload and personal responsibilities, was filled with happy expectations of finally providing her children with their own home after many years of suffering at the mercy – most often the lack, of landlords.

But while he was providing her with receipts, her materials were being diverted to the construction sites of other homeowners, who did not take loans, but who, having a lot of time on their hands to be scavenging the worksites, and with the complicity of someone who had familiarized himself with the topography of the locale and the peculiar circumstances of each new homeowner, and who acted as an intermediary brokering the sales, built their homes by purchasing, at very minimal costs, the materials of absentee homeowners sold to them by unscrupulous contractors.

The brokers’ fee was construction material which, garnered over time, enabled him to build his own home.

When the woman had drawn the last installment of her loan and given it to the contractor, thinking that was for

Guyana

painting a completed house, she took some time off her busy schedule to visit her new home.

To her horror, all that was standing were some walls – no windows, no doors, no cupboards, no washroom facilities, no electrical installation, even the floors and walls had not been capped.

She was neck-high in debt for a house that she had paid every cent of her loan to build, plus invested her own money, and was faced with having to pay hefty monthly mortgage installments, with no home to show for it.

Unable to pay mortgage installments simultaneously with the exorbitant rent she had been paying for her apartment she moved into her incomplete home and practically starved herself for a couple of years in order to make her home habitable. During those years of employing construction workers she has never found one – whether electrician, plumber, painter, carpenter, mason – none who has proven himself honest, either in the delivery of service, or in the security of her materials, despite paying top dollar for that service in the hope that some decency would prevail and she would be accorded top-level service.

The horror-stories are endless. The Government has initiated several skills-development programmes and trained many youngsters in various areas of expertise. These skills need to be harnessed into productive developmental regimes, one of which should be the creation of a skills-bank – or an agency, whereby persons in need of certain services can confidently seek to employ someone whom they would not have to personally oversee, and to have their expectations of honest labour for an honest day’s pay fulfilled.

Kaieteur News should desist from creating public mischief and sensationalism REFERENCE is made to an article published in the Tuesday August 19, 2014 edition of Kaieteur News titled ‘Logging scandal...GFC defends delays in processing facilities...’ in which your newspaper pointed to questions asked during a press conference hosted by the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC) and the latter’s referral of such queries to the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA). The newspaper also carried a follow up report in the Thursday August 21, 2014 edition of the newspaper titled ‘Who granted those multi-million $$$ duty free concessions to Bai Shan Lin?’ In the subsequent article, the issue is referenced yet again as though there is some mystery as to the process despite GRA’s previous outline of the process through which concessions are granted, which ironically the newspaper noted in the said article (paragraphs 4, 5 and 6).

As such, based on these continuous queries by the newspaper on the same matter and for further clarification, the GRA wishes to make it clear that: 1. Duty-free concessions are only granted by the GRA if they were first approved by the relevant regulatory entities/ bodies, approvals of which are then forwarded to the Revenue Authority. The GRA is most certain that the newspaper is already aware of this and therefore its representatives had to have been mischievous to even pose such questions at the forum.

2. The granting of any specified concession is based on established laws and policies and would be granted taking into consideration the type of investment involved and, therefore, the Newspaper’s reference to the type(s) of vehicle for which

any concession was granted was most likely also malicious and reflects a complete misunderstanding of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) followed in the granting of concessions.

3. The GRA will not be providing any further comments on this matter since the Tax Act includes Provisions for such information to be deemed strictly privileged and confidential.

The GRA therefore advises the Kaieteur News to desist from creating unnecessary public mischief and sensationalism and hopes that the newspaper will venture to do proper and thorough research in future, especially prior to publishing articles of such nature.

What has happened Kaieteur News owes the Government of Guyana and Bai Shan Lin an apology to our contributions?

THE Kaieteur News owes the Government of Guyana and Bai Shan Lin, an apology.

For the past few weeks the Government of Guyana and Chinese owned Bai Shan Lin International Forest Development Company have been the victims of numerous and consistent attacks for logging principles, that were made against them by members of the media, particularly Kaieteur News.

Kaieteur News even took it to the extent whereby its publisher was photographed standing on one of the logs, while his newspaper continued to attack the Government and Bai Shan Lin. Now after a press conference by the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC) we have seen Kaieteur News intentions when it comes to the Government and Bai Shan Lin. At the GFC press conference a lot of facts and verity were presented to the attendees and more so, to the Guyanese people about the sustainable management principles when it comes to forestry harvesting in Guyana, to verify the legitimate activities that are taking place within our forest by Bai

I also recall that about 80,000 acres of prime forests were directly given to Mr. Howard Bulkan and a group of manufacturers with the understanding that the forest produce coming from those forests would be used to satisfy local manufacturers. How many manufacturers know of this? Did this privileged group ever alert their fellow manufacturers? I do not think so-I believe very strongly that this 80,000 acres are being used for the sole benefit of the Bulkan family and their partners. This is transparency and patriotism of the Bulkan family. Let the nation judge them for who they really are.

IN July of 2012, the people of Linden at the behest of our local leaders came out in protest against the high cost of electricity rates that were being proposed on us Lindeners by this Government.

This protest lasted for over one month and unfortunately resulted in the loss of life of three innocent people. Several important buildings were also destroyed by fire, amongst which was the One Mile Primary School. After the destruction of this school by fire, we the residents of Linden were informed by our very own Regional Chairman, Mr. Sharma Solomon, that the One Mile School will be rebuilt by us, the residents of Linden, and he asked for our help to rebuild the school. We contributed our money and some people their labour, chipping in with our five thousand and one thousand and five hundred dollars, however much we could afford because we want to be sure that our children are comfortable to learn.

The Regional Chairman and the MP Vanessa Kissoon collected all of this money and work started on the school.

Now we see that the Government is building a new school and this new building is separate from the old structure that was cleared up and a little work was done with our contributions.

We were told that over $12M was collected from residents and other persons and organisations locally and overseas to rebuild the school, apart from contributions that people made of materials, and we are left to wonder what has become of our contributions, since the new building is being built by the Government. When the question was asked, the Regional Chairman talked about some audit that will be done on the $12M or so that was collected, but for over a year now no audit has been done.

So I am just asking if they could say how much money in total was collected and how much of this money they still have and what arrangements will they make for this money that is remaining since the Government is now building the school.

I would also like to ask Mr. David Granger, who is the Leader of the APNU, to ensure that Mr. Sharma Solomon and Ms. Vanessa Kissoon account to the people of Linden and others outside of Linden for the monies collected.

We are hearing all sorts of comments about the usage of these monies, but I do not want us to be distracted.

Monies were collected by these leaders (over $12M) and they must account to the people for it. I will reserve any further comments on this and other issues, while I eagerly await a positive response.

Shan Lin. Officials of the GFC went through several presentations and provided detailed information about the dos’ and don’ts when it comes to forestry harvesting in Guyana, and at the end even answered numerous questions and concerns that the members of the audience had, in order to verify what was presented to them.

Now that the GFC has spoken and presented facts to the public, as I opened the Kaieteur News on August 19, I didn’t notice one article accusing Bai Shan Lin or the Government of illegal forestry activities. It is clear that their intention to deceive the Guyanese people once again was futile and they should be ashamed of their actions I personally think that Kaieteur News should issue a public apology to the Government of Guyana and Bai Shan Lin. LANCELOT ADAMS

Deforestation due to forestry activities is less than 300 ha AS a concerned forestry stakeholder and a committed and patriotic Guyanese, I notice with no surprise, some recent statements made by the Bulkans in the newspapers. I must reply to these statements to ensure that John Public is properly informed, and not sidetracked by the hate and bitterness of these selfish and unpatriotic Guyanese.

The bogus doctor indicated that the GFC is allowing the harvest of only a few species, leading to creaming of the forest.

Well isn’t this what her brothers (of the now bankrupt Precision Woodworking Manufacturing) did? Weren’t they the ones that financed many loggers to cut only locust logs for their garden furniture business? Did they ever try to utilise the lesser used species? Of course not! Their only aim was to line their pockets with the profits from the rich locust logs and they had no interest with the other species. Suddenly Dr. Janet who never said a word

then, has woken up and is saying that the poor community loggers are creaming the forest. Shame on you Janet!

She claims to be a doctor in forestry but is far from the reality of the operations on the ground.

Otherwise she would know that when the large trees are harvested, there are scores of saplings and more mature younger trees that would be ready to be harvested in the next cycle (25-60 years based on GFC guidance).

Janet needs to know that while she and other theoretical knowit-all foresters (like those present in some sections of the media) are raving and ranting about sustainable forestry in Guyana, the facts are that deforestation due to forestry activities is less than 300 ha for the whole country. This has been verified by International and reputable auditors who are the real globally recognised experts in this field.

Additionally, the Bulkan’s family-A Mazaharally and Sons has been logging in Guyana for

several decades. Can Dr. Janet tell the country how many species have his several companies been harvesting over the years?

And while on that, can she or Kaieteur News/Stabroek News investigate how many concessions this company has and how many they have been working?

How much production, value added products and exports this company have done for the past five years? Maybe Howard can lend some assistance to his uncle to help him to finally get involved in value adding after decades in the sector, holding up prime TSA forest lands whilst the community forest operators try to exist on their small state forests. Finally, Howard speaks of the country losing via log exports. That is very true, but we live in a democracy where the Government respects the views of all. At the national log consultation, I was present when GFC recommended a ban on log exports but the majority of stakeholders called in for an export commission.

An unfortunate miscarriage of Justice The People’s Progressive Party/Civic wishes to express concern over the circumstances which led to the dismissal of the case against Linden Primo who was recently charged with discharging a firearm and threatening behaviour following the staging of the controversial People’s National Congress Reform’s 18th Biennial Congress.

The PPP/C has noted too the attempts by the PNC/R to cover for Primo while using its Opposition-media agents to downplay the issue and sweep it under the carpet.

The Party is aware that the chief witness in the case and several others did not attend the court proceedings to give evidence because of sheer intimidation and bullyism by key operatives at the PNC’s Headquarter.

The PPP/C condemns this type of intimidatory tactics.

The PPP/C is concerned that the women were forced into silence by those who had an interest in ensuring that

the truth surrounding what took place at the protest-riddled congress did not come to fore.

While this is not surprising, the party believes that David Granger who holds himself out as the paragon of virtue, political rectitude should now also express concern that the charges were dropped against a man whose actions clearly compromised the integrity of the PNCR’s Congress.

Granger can ill- afford to be silent on this issue, given the criticisms from his own camp about the manner in which the PNCR’s Congress was conducted. He must also explain why his Party, which preaches law and order, failed to cooperate with the police during the initial stages of the investigation and why the PNCR did not opt to furnish the Force with other witnesses.

Granger himself cannot deny knowledge of Primo’s actions as it occurred while he was present at Congress Place.

The PPP firmly believes that the PNC’s attempt at

protecting the accused came off the heels of the party’s association with other criminal elements including Kevin Fields, Blackie and others who launched an assault on innocent Guyanese.

The PPP/C is convinced that had justice being allowed to take its natural course, Primo would have been found guilty.

What is also interesting is the media’s astounding silence and lack of investigative reporting on this aspect of the PNCR’s congress.

Had such developments occurred at the PPP/C’s Congress, it would have been splashed across the media and blown out of proportion. As a matter of fact, the PPP/C would have no doubt been the subject of ridicule and widespread criticisms from the Opposition media and their interests.

While the party is guided by the rationale behind the Court’s ruling, it saddened that justice was not allowed to take its full course and a full trial not held.

Whittaker debunks GTUC claims of prison labour abuse

By Derwayne Wills

MINISTER of Local Government and Regional Development, Mr. Norman Whittaker has refuted claims that the use of labour from the Guyana Prison Service (GPS) violates international law set forth by the International Labour Organisation (ILO).

The minister was responding to claims put forward by the Guyana Trade Union Congress (GTUC) voicing concern that the Government of Guyana, through the Local Government Ministry, had violated International Labour Organisation (ILO) Forced Labour Convention No 29 by contracting the Prison Service as part of the manpower for the rehabilitation of the Le Repentir Cemetery.

The Cemetery is being rehabilitated by a $100M grant from the $1B ‘Clean Up My Guyana’ project, for which $500M was allocated for a ‘Clean Up Georgetown’ campaign.

Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle, Whittaker Minister of Local said that the full advice Government and of the Minister of Labour, Regional Development Dr. Nankishore Gopaul Mr. Norman Whittaker was sought in order to determine whether there is some possibility of Guyana’s international obligations being violated. There was none.

“In the past, I have been reluctant with the use of prison labour,” Whittaker said this was due to him, “not having the facts.” As of recent however, the minister expressed firmly that there is no illegality “once we are not displacing organised labour, and we are not denying them an opportunity” for gainful employment.

INTERNATIONAL LABOUR LAW The labour standards of the International Labour Organisation under the Forced Labour Convention of 1930 (No. 29) spells out, in Article 2 (1), the definition for “forced or compulsory labour” as “all work or service which is exacted from any person under the menace of any penalty and for which the said person has not offered himself voluntarily.”

Additionally, it provides that forced labour however does not include cases where, according to Article 2 (2) (b), “any work or service which forms part of the normal civic obligations of the citizens of a fully self-governing country.”

Further in that provision, it is stated in part (e) of Article 2 (2) that forced labour cannot be declared in specific circumstances.

It says that forced labour shall not include, “minor communal services of a kind which, being performed by

the members of the community in the direct interest of the said community, can therefore be considered as normal civic obligations incumbent upon the members of the community, provided that the members of the community or their direct representatives shall have the right to be consulted in regard to the need for such services.”

PRISONER STIGMA AND REHAB This publication received a comment from a senior

Senior Superintendent Samuels of the Georgetown Prison Service receiving a donation from the Community Monitoring and Development Officer at the Local Government Ministry, Ms. Akila Doris prison official who reaffirmed that the use of prison labour has been done for years. The source expressed concern noting that “it is unfortunate because the reality is that there is so much stigma [attached to prisoners] and if the society is not simultaneous [in] accepting the fact that the prisoners would be given a chance, then we would be back to square one.”

The source expressed a concern for the many cases of there being a double negative reality where families not only reject these prisoners after they have been released into society, but the now-stigmatised rejects find themselves offending again and “go back in the prison [system].”

The official lauded the collaboration between the Government and the Prison Service as “essential for rehabilitation and

reintegration.” As it relates to payment, it was mentioned that the monies are divided threefold: one portion goes directly to the Prison, a second goes to the Prisoner and a third will be lodged in a Prison Welfare Fund.

Further information was provided regarding the criteria established for the inmates, it was disclosed that the inmates are assessed by the Sentence Management Board and the Sentence Management Unit, facilitated through the Home Affairs Ministry, to determine their eligibility based on behaviour, duration of sentence and conduct.

The Local Government Minister had said recently that the clean-up works in the cemetery “will be designed into four lots”.

Three of the four lots of the cemetery will be contracted to interested members of the public through organised Community Development Councils (CDCs) and the fourth lot will be contracted to the Prison Service “as part of their rehabilitation [efforts].”

The minister stressed that the claims put forward by the GTUC are inaccurate because the Minister of Labour Service is not contracted Dr. Nankishore Gopaul to do all of the works identified but rather one portion of it. The cemetery clean-up is scheduled to continue as planned.

GEORGETOWN CLEAN UP The “Clean-Up My Country” Programme committee on Tuesday handed over equipment to the GPS which will be used to clean up portions of Le Repentir Cemetery.

The GPS was contracted to de-bush Block 7 of the cemetery which is bounded by Broad Street to the North, Sussex Street to the South, Louisa Row to the East and St. Stephen’s Street to the South.

As part of the contractual agreement, the GPS body agreed to provide the skills and the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development (MLGRD) agreed to supply the tools needed to get the job done and transportation to transport the debris to the Haags Bosch Landfill Site in Eccles on the East Bank of Demerara. This team comprises twenty four inmates and four supervising officers.

To oversee this countrywide Clean-Up programme, several stakeholders are seated on the Implementation Committee. These include, representatives from the Ministry of Local Government, Environmental Protection Agency, Anti-Litter Campaign, Ministry Of Public Works and engineers from Mayor and City Council.

Guyanese & Brazilian in legal battle for ownership of $17M excavator

By George Barclay GUYANESE businessman Antonio Torres De Oliveira of Hotel Bahia in Robb Street, Georgetown, has locked horns with FT Minerals Inc. in legal battle before Justice Rishi Persaud over ownership of a $17M excavator.

Karim DeToledo, second-named defendant, is agent of first-named defendant FT Minerals Inc, and has been duly authorised to enter into transactions on behalf of the firstnamed defendant.

By an agreement of sale dated March 12, 2014, the plain-

tiff purchased, and the defendant agreed to sell, an excavator, model SK210 LC, for the sum of $17M. To seal the transaction, the plaintiff made downpayment of $1.7M, and was given 18 months to pay the remainder of the purchase price.

But the plaintiff subsequently discovered that the excavator was faulty and/or problematic, and in consequence thereof had to expend significant sums to effect repairs.

This caused De Toledo to threaten repossession of the excavator, although the purchase time set in the agreement had not expired.

Consequently, the plaintiff is claiming the following reliefs

from the defendants: (a) Specific performance of the agreement of sale. (b) An application that the matter be made inter-partes. (c) That the plaintiff be granted an ex-parte interim injunction. (d) An injunction restraining the first and second-named defendants from encumbering, selling, pledging, and/or disposing of excavator model SK2010 LC in any manner howsoever or whatsoever.

It is believed that when the matter becomes inter-partes, the parties would strive for a solution to their problem.

Kaieteur News the medium of sensationalism and misinformation The Kaieteur News has once again demonstrated in full regalia, why it is the medium of sensationalism , among its sister CARICOM media houses as it sought once again to mislead the Guyanese public on the matter pertaining to Bai Shan Lin’s logging activities in Guyana.

This is yet another unmistakable attempt, with the political opposition’s connivance, at derailing not only government’s national socio-economic development programmes, but also to discourage foreign investment endeavours in Guyana. It is indeed very sad that this publishing house, can so knowingly and deliberately continue to wage economic warfare and sabotage against the State in its pages, that are wholly political in nature.

And as again demonstrated, once a response is given to its pedalled misinformation and lies it does not accept such a challenge, in the form of having its reporters engage the source. For example, it has failed to respond to the Guyana Forestry Commission’s press conference. Of course it cannot, since the latter would have nailed all the ugly lies that have been appearing in its pages, for the past two weeks.

As an example of its well known chronic campaign of selective reporting, it seeks to convey to the Guyanese nation that the Chinese logging company has been chopping down our forests, and in the process exporting all the harvested logs.

One does not need to be a political scientist to comprehend the plan behind such a journalistic strategy. What it has delib-

erately failed to mention is the known fact, that the company has since its arrival in Guyana, entered into many joint venture arrangements with local loggers, and that these have revived the latter fortunes. If this is not high wickedness, then what else describes!

Still bent on its traditional pattern of reporting, it resorted to screaming that well known Lindener Phillip Bynoe, threatened its staff at a recent press briefing. Given the fact that Bynoe is still considered somewhat a high-profiled personality, it is quite strange that no other media house has carried such a report. It does beg the question as to whether this is not another attempt at misleading the public.

It is absolute that attacking any media house/ representatives should be great cause for concern since it threatens a very fundamental pillar of democracy; however, OBSERVER has noted the double standard, not surprising, of this media, on this particular matter, whether or not it did occur.

It has alleged Bynoe’s act, as an “attack on the press”. Now, juxtapose this convenient accusation, with the deafeningly silent position taken with regards the combined opposition cuts to Budget 2012, 2013, and 2014, that affected the annual subventions of the State media GINA and NCN. Have these acts not been attacks on these entities’ rights to exist, and as a consequence their freedom to report on government’s policies?

As has been frequently reported in this media, the Kaieteur News is a unique kind, in any region, for its unflagging,

orchestrated consistency for attacking socio-economic projects that advances the livelihoods of citizens. For there is no journal, properly established on the tenets of true professionalism, while fully understanding the imperatives of investing in the national well being, that will ever contemplate such treason, as has been the track record of this noxious publishing house.

Clearly this, another attack on the Chinese, apart from containing the dangerous elements of xenophobia, is ingratitude to a nation that has added very, very significantly to Guyana’s economic development in ways too numerous to mention. So much has this nation and its people continue to benefit from the generousity of the Chinese people that no amount of commendations can suffice.

As an aside, OBSERVER has noted that the very opposition party, the People’s National Congress(PNC) that had been the government of the day, when Guyana established diplomatic relations with China in 1972, and had voted overwhelmingly with the United Nations General Assembly at that time, ensuring that this Asian giant finally be accorded its rightful seat as a member, now leads the anti-Chinese assault. Is this not the greatest of contradictions?

As for the greatest misinformant ever in the annals of Caribbean media publishing - its epitaph will be etched as follows: HERE RESTS THE GREATEST OF PRINT LIARS, WHICH DEEDS CLOSED ITS PAGES!

GECOM, political parties meeting likely in September-GECOM Chairman

By Vanessa Narine CHAIRMAN of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), Dr. Steve Surujbally, has indicated that a meeting with all three political parties could happen sometime in September.

“It is our policy to remain in contact with political parties. We are overdue for a meeting face to face. I think come September we will be meeting face to face, whether or not we have elections,” he told the Guyana Chronicle in an invited comment.

Asked what issues could constitute the agenda for such a meeting, Dr. Surujbally stated that the issues could range from the tabulation exercise part of an election process and the introduction of an automated ballot system General Secretary to addressing lacunas in Mr. Clement Rohee the legal framework and finalisation of demarcation of boundaries for local government elections.”

“I would also like to hear about a fixed day for general elections or local government elections,” he said.

The GECOM Chairman made it clear that until such a meeting the Commission will continue its work, as mandated.

Of the three political parties, the ruling People’s Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/C) has been most vocal in raising concerns about the work of the Commission.

General Secretary of the PPP, Mr. Clement Rohee, at a news conference earlier this month stated that Guyana is on “election footing” and expressed the view that the party’s engagements with GECOM is expected to intensify.

“We are on election footing and I am sure that the tempo of the relationship between GECOM and the party will intensify,” he said.

According to him, the party officials have met with the Chief Elections Officer, Mr. Keith Lowenfield, and presently remain engaged via regular correspondences.

Rohee said: “I have met with Mr. Lowenfield and following that meeting there has been a slew of correspondences as a follow up to the discussions we have had.”

“We wrote to the GECOM Chairman about our concerns, related to GECOM’s readiness, on one hand and GECOM’s preparedness, on the other, for the hosting of either general or local government elections. They have responded.”

The General Secretary made it clear that the party does not intend to “drop the ball” as it continues its engagement with the Commission.

He said: “We will not leave any stone unturned in our talks with GECOM…we have a lot of experience with electoral rigging. We have a lot of experience with role and place of GECOM in elections and we intend to

invoke all the experiences, all the knowledge, in order to ensure any upcoming election is above par.”

On the issue of reforms at the Commission, the General-Secretary stated that party welcomes reforms that the GECOM commissioners consider useful.”

“We are keenly interested in any administrative internal reforms or measures that they commissioners of GECOM might consider useful. We have no problems with reforms that are progressive, that are well meaning, that are aimed at enhancing free and fair elections in Guyana…. we will welcome them,” Rohee said.

The Guyana Chronicle also spoke to GECOM’s Chief Elections Officer, Keith Lowenfield who was clear in stressing that the Commission will Dr. steve Surujbally continue communications with all three political parties, which address concerns and suggestions on different issues.

“Our engagement is continuous with all parties,” Lowenfield said.

DNA samples from female remains at Turkeyen sent for testing

By Leroy Smith CRIME Chief Leslie James yesterday confirmed that the samples from the decomposed remains which are suspected to be that of missing St Stanislaus teacher Nyozi Goodman left these shores yesterday for a Caribbean destination.

The samples will undergo tests to determine if the remains are indeed that of the missing teacher although the belt which was discovered close to the body was identified by her mother as belonging to her daughter.

However, the Crime Chief declined to disclose where exactly the samples would be tested, only stating that the samples left very early yesterday for the destination accompanied by one police rank. He also would not say in which department the rank is stationed.

In the past the Guyana Police Force came in for harsh criticism by both Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee and Head of State President Donald Ramotar in the highly publicised case of Demerara Bank employee Sheema Mangar who was killed

in September 2010 and samples were sent to a Caribbean country for DNA testing and the matter is still unresolved.

The police have tried to clear itself by stating that the county the samples have been sent to have not been giving them any favourable responses.

In the meantime, the main suspect in the matter of the robbery of the young bank employee for her mobile phone remains out of police custody. The police have no substantial evidence to pin him to the crime although a strand of hair suspected to be that of the bank employee was found on the bumper of the car he reportedly had access to on the night of the crime.

Meanwhile, the relatives of the teacher are still hoping for closure in the matter even as the remains of the decomposed body lay in cold storage at Lyken Funeral Parlour.

After the remains were discovered last month at Turkeyen the post-mortem had to be conducted there because of the advanced state of decomposition.

A city school teacher was reported missing after she accompanied her students

to a game of basketball at the National Gymnasium in Georgetown. She sent her students ahead while informing them that she would be picked up by a friend. It would turn out that the friend did arrive but persons were not able to ascertain who the individual was.

However, others who saw the woman in the company of the man on the night shared the intelligence with the police and the man was arrested for questioning but had alibis which caused him to be released. After the remains were discovered he was re-arrested and again released.

Region 6 approves $6.2B 2015 Budget after much heated debate THE Region 6 (East Berice/ Corentyne) Democratic Council has approved the $6.2B+ proposed budget for 2015.

The $6,628,642,296 budgetary proposal for Region 6 will be sent to the Ministry of Local Government for further perusal before it is included in the 2015 National Budget.

After much heated debate from both sides of the floor, the proposal received approval from the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) and the Alliance For Change (AFC) when the regional councillors met last week Thursday for their monthly statutory meeting.

Prior to the budget being passed, AFC Councillor Rohan Jaggassar accused the administration of not giving councillors enough time to peruse the proposal. He said the document was circulated to councillors on the previous evening, allowing limited time for its perusal.

Recounting, Jaggassar said: “Last year, (2013) we were not given enough time to peruse and agree on the financial statement. During that period, we had $6M budgeted for electrical fans, however, because of insufficient time, no explanations were forthcoming with respect to where needed the fans.

“We did not have sufficient time to see whether the purchase of the fans was justified,” he stormed, before exiting the meeting.

However, Regional Executive Officer (REO) Paul Ramrattan, in response, quickly denied that there was a $6M price tag for fans, and lambasted the councillor for making ‘the usual false allegation.’

Meanwhile, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Councillor Jevaughn Stephens noted that it was a good idea for the councillors to go through the budget proposal, but it was unfair for the administration to give councillors less than twen-

ty-four hours to meet and make meaningful contributions.

“We would all like to approve this budget, but we need more time. So I am proposing that this meeting be postponed for a later date,” he offered, but the REO noted that councillors were given until June 30 to submit their proposals, but the Opposition side did not comply.

“As a result, this put more strain on the administration to prepare a balanced budget, even without the input of the joint Opposition,” the REO said.

Ramrattan noted that the only Opposition councillor to submit a proposal was Donna Mathoo, but the AFC councillors noted that their two proposals had not been reflected in the 2015 proposal.

APNU’S Corwin Craw-

ford was high in praise for the administration for a proposal which will see ”an improved living accommodation for students at the Amerindian Hostel at Stanleytown in New Amsterdam.”

He congratulated the administration for making arrangements to have students from the Canje riverine communities take up temporary residence at the Amerindian Hostel.

The APNU spokesperson also questioned the administration for including DBST surface roads in the 2015 budgetary proposals, while noting that a decision had been taken not to have DBST roads constructed in Region 6.

“This is because they last only for three months… We had decided that it is a waste of the Region’s money because after three months the money is gone and the roads

are back to square one…”

However, Acting Regional Chairman Bopaul Jhagroo responded that while the administration wanted to see asphalt-surfaced roadways in the region, that would not presently be possible.

And Chief Executive Officer of the Berbice Regional Health Authority (BRHA), Dr. Vishwa Mahadeo said the $10M proposed for purchase of 120 computers in the health sector was not sufficient.

“One hundred and twenty computers are not enough…

When a patient accesses medical care at the various health institutions, I would like to see their record computerised,” he said.

According to Dr Mahadeo, the computerisation process has started, but the exercise has to be extended to the health centres across the region.

Lone magistrate managing Berbice jurisdiction causing frustration THE recently approved vacation leave for Magistrates Sherdel Marcus-Isaacs and Rhondel Weaver has left Berbice with a lone functioning magistrate, Mr. Rabindranauth Singh.

From August 4 until August 15, he had to undertake the Herculean task of presiding in eleven courts, including further remanding prisoners whose cases are not up for hearing during a specified period.

Magistrate Sherdel Marcus–Isaacs, who proceeded on leave in mid-July, presided over courts in New Amsterdam, Reliance in East Canje, and at Sisters on the East Bank of Berbice.

In addition, she has to visit the New Amsterdam Prison building, where further remand sessions are being conducted.

Her colleague, Magistrate Rhondel Weaver, who was granted leave from

August 3, manages courts at Blairmont, Fort Wellington and Weldaad, all on the West Coast of Berbice, and at Number 51 Village on the Corentyne Coast.

In addition, she holds civil court at New Amsterdam once weekly.

Previously, Magistrate Singh held court on the Corentyne at Albion on Tuesdays and alternate Wednesdays; at Whim on Mondays; at Mibicuri in Black Bush Polder on Wednesdays; and at Springlands on Thursdays and Fridays.

The new development has affected the smooth operation of ten of the twelve magistrate courts in Berbice. The courts at Sisters and at Kwakwani were not affected, as the statutory dates for their respective sessions were after Magistrate Sherdel Marcus-Isaacs would have resumed duty on August 18.

Magistrate Rhondel Weaver is expected to return to work on September 15.

Meanwhile, a senior police officer said the current situation is affecting the work of police ranks in the entire Berbice Division.

“The magistrate is scheduled to attend three courts per day. How much can be done during this period?” he questioned.

“The courts cannot hold trials or preliminary inquiries; those matters will have to be on hold.

Basically, there will be just call-overs and guilty pleas. Nothing more can be taken into account,” he said.

Litigants have expressed disgust over the situation, complaining that they have wasted much time and financial resources to attend court only to be told they have to return another day.

Black Bush Polder family traumatised after ordeal with armed bandits ROBBERY victim Jerry Babulall was so traumatised by the ordeal of being ambushed, shot and robbed by armed bandits on the Access Road at Adventure, Corentyne that he wept bitterly after being discharged from the New Amsterdam Hospital last Wednesday.

He had to be coerced by his mother Roshanie to enter his car, which was riddled with bullets, constituting a stark reminder of the Tuesday afternoon incident in which masked bearded bandits terrorised his mother, his wife and himself for less than ten minutes before escaping with two handbags, three cell phones, a wedding band, and other jewellery and cash.

Jerry’s wife, Gaitree, was seated at the rear seat with their two children, aged nine and three years respectively, whilst his mother, Roshanie had occupied the front passenger seat and Jerry was driving

the vehicle as they were returning to their home at Johanna South, Black Bush Polder, Corentyne when their vehicle, PKK 2200, was ambushed by bandits.

Speaking to the Guyana Chronicle moments after being discharged from the New Amsterdam Hospital, Jerry said the family had left home at around 09:00 hrs to do shopping for school items whilst undertaking other chores.

“We went to the Republic Bank at Rose Hall then we did some shopping. We had lunch at a restaurant at Nigg Village, then we went to the market then (to) a spare parts shop at Whim, before making a stop at Adventure Village (prior to) journeying home,” Jerry Babulall recalled.

“We had just turned off the Corentyne Highway at Adventure and were journeying into Black Bush main access road when a silver grey wagon motor car drove past (us) at top

speed. I gave them the way as I thought they were in a hurry. But after passing, at about 100 feet away, the car swung around, blocking our pathway.

“Initially, I thought the driver was just turning around, but before I knew it, two men exited the vehicle.

One armed with a seemingly improvised shotgun fired a shot which shattered the right side window. I noticed blood flowing from my right hand, it was then I realised that the bullet had hit my right hand, resulting in a fracture.

“The gunman, also armed with a long blade knife, placed same to my neck and, whilst using derogatory remarks, pulled off my gold band and demanded the two gold rings.

But the wedding band was taking too long to come off, and he threatened to kill me if I did not give him the rings.

“He also took away my wallet, which had US$170 and G$35,000, and my cellular phone.”

In the meanwhile, Jerry’s mother Roshanie said she felt giddy, nervous, and

Berbice police honour West Indies U-15 top bowler Kevin Sinclair TOP notch West Indies under-15 bowler, Guyanese Kevin Sinclair, has been honoured for his outstanding performance at the recently concluded Regional U-15 tournament.

Commander Brian Joseph of the Police ‘B’ Division presented Sinclair with a cricket bat and a monetary donation. Whilst making the presentation, Assistant Commissioner Joseph congratulated the cricketer on his recent achievement, and urged him to pay attention to his attitude and discipline.

“You must be focused….

Don’t let friends carry you astray,” Joseph admonished Sinclair, even as he reminded the youth of the national legend Shivnarine Chanderpaul, whose humility has led him to the highest level of cricket.

“We will continue to support you”, Commander Joseph promised, but reminded, “you cannot forget your books; education is a very important part of development. I would want to see you going well in school. Take your education seriously as you are taking your cricket”, Jo-

seph admonished the young Sinclair.

Sinclair was awarded for capturing the most wickets at conclusion of the round robin tournament, which resulted in Guyana winning the tournament, in which Sinclair had taken eleven wickets from five matches and making 127 runs at an average of 31.4 runs per innings.

The all-rounder grabbed the top score of 52 not out during Guyana’s opening game against the Leeward Islands, resulting in victory for his team.

In a subsequent game against Barbados, Sinclair hit 32 runs, saving the local side, and thereafter returned with the ball bowling right arm spin to tumble 4 wickets for 32 runs.

The Mount Sinai resident also participated in the Berbice Under-15 Chico Inter-Club tournament, where he made 100 not out with the bat whilst taking 7 wickets against Rose Hall village at the Canje Cricket Club ground.

Sinclair is the current captain of the Police U-15 cricket team.

BRA launches kitchen garden at National Psychiatric Hospital THE Berbice Regional Authority (BRA) has, at the National Psychiatric Hospital, launched a kitchen garden aimed at supplying fresh food for the inmates, while assisting patients in their rehabilitation process through the Occupational

Therapy programme.

The garden currently grows sweet peppers and leafy and fresh vegetables, and patients have so far harvested 50 pounds of calaloo and 30 pounds of tomatoes, according to BRA Public Relations Officer Mr Mi-

chael Itwaru.

Itwaru said the garden came into being through the efforts of VSO Colton, who is currently assigned to the kitchen, and awaits the harvesting of the sweet peppers within the next few weeks, before commencing

the second phase of the garden’s development -- a shade house that would include various seasoning.

The institution is also exploring the possibility of rearing livestock in an effort to have a self-sustained dietary plan.

in shock after receiving injuries on her right hand caused by the splints from the shattered glass.

Recalling the ordeal, she said: “When I saw the (bandits’) car approaching, I felt a bit uneasy. I instantly knew we were under attack. The other gunman approached my side and took my bag containing $83,000.

The bag was on my lap. He also removed my daughterin-law’s bag from the back seat. She had money and her phone. My phone was also stolen.

“He took the car documents, my husband’s driver’s licence and identification cards, and afterwards demanded the car keys from my son before rejoining their car, which by then had returned.

“During the robbery we did not scream; we were too shocked to do so. The children were cuddled by their mother. They, too, remained silent. We were (silent) for ten to fifteen minutes after

the incident.”

Afterwards, they managed to stop a passing car and inform the occupants what had happened. Subsequently, telephone access became available, and Roshanie used the opportunity to inform her husband about what had transpired, and urged him to telephone the police and walk with the vehicle’s spare key.

Thereafter, her son Jerry was taken to the Mibicuri Hospital, where he was seen by a medical practitioner who transferred him to the New Amsterdam Hospital, where he was an overnight patient.

After being discharged, the young father of two was overwhelmed to see the car in which he almost lost his life.

He reluctantly re-entered the vehicle, having had to be coerced into so doing.

No one has as yet been arrested, but police investigations are continuing.

High Dam fire leaves two homeless in Mount Sinai, West Canje A mid-afternoon fire has completely destroyed a two-flat wooden building and has left two persons homeless at High Dam, Mount Sinai, West Canje Berbice.

Aided by a strong easterly wind, the blaze quickly consumed the wooden edifice, even as fire tenders responding to the call found themselves stuck in a ditch some distance away. By the time firefighters arrived on scene, the entire building had already been destroyed.

Eyewitness Joel Prince recalled being aroused from his afternoon siesta by shouts of “Fire!” He said he looked

through his window and observed that his neighbour Ray Khan’s house was ablaze.

He had earlier seen the man and his fiveyear-old son about the place, and on enquiring about their whereabouts, he was told that they had managed to escape.

This reporter was told that the fire victim is terminally ill and would spend most of his time resting.

However, another eyewitness claimed to have seen the child with a lighter. It was stated that a foam mattress had been set ablaze resulting in the destruction of Ray Khan’s modest home.

Cabinet continues highly focused review of GECOM’s elections readiness

By Telesha Ramnarine HEAD of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon yesterday reported that Cabinet this week continued its “highly focused weekly review” of the electoral process and, specifically, the Guyana Elections Commission’s (GECOM) electoral readiness for elections.

“Cabinet reasoned that the ongoing activities

by GECOM, and extended to the stakeholders involved in the elections, was obviously targeting general and regional elections,” Luncheon

said while addressing his post-Cabinet press briefing.

Speaking at the Office of the President, in Georgetown, he further reported that Cabinet’s interest continued on the list that had been circulated by GECOM and the Claims and Objections period that had been instituted by GECOM after the sixth round of continuous registration.

“Where the list was concerned, the earnest desire of Cabinet was to ensure a cleaness.” “Where the Claims and Objections period was concerned, Cabinet

Dr ROGER LUNCHEON wanted abundant conviction that the time that had been allocated for this process

was enough; it was suitable for the tasks of Claims and Objections, particularly with the load, the numbers of transfers that reportedly had to be made in the context of population shifts since the 2011 general and regional elections,” he said.

Cabinet, according to him has undertaken to keep the concerns on these two areas alive and to engage “constructively” with GECOM on getting the assurances that these matters would be properly handled.

Meanwhile, the Government has called on

Photo of prime suspect supplied to police - every lead will be followed, police assure

Dead Mark London THE relatives of murdered mason, Mark London, of Kaneville who was murdered during a failed robbery yesterday supplied the police with the name and photograph of the man who eyewitnesses said shot the young man.

The mother, siblings and other relatives met with ‘A’ Division Commander Clifton Hicken and several other senior ranks of the division who paid a visit to the home.

Hicken promised the family that all leads will be followed and no stone left unturned in finding the suspect providing the information reaches the police.

Relatives told the police that the main suspect, whose photo they supplied, has fled to Linden where according to them he has been spotted several times.

The mother of the young man, Yvette London, told the commander that she was very hurt by what had happened to her son.

Meanwhile speaking with the media, Kelan Roger-Beet, the friend who was with London when he was shot, recalled what happened on the morning of August 14 in Kaneville.

He said that London visited him early the morning and they were heading to another friend when they passed the suspect at the

pect came up to London and ordered: “Pass the thing” and immediately fired a shot at London which missed his feet. The two men then began running away from the gunman who continued to discharge several shots in their direction.

Beet also recalled that the first time he had seen the suspect was the Saturday before the incident when the same person was involved in an altercation with his (Beet) cousin’s boyfriend.

After the shooting the

He said that while they were returning, he observed that the man was still at the same spot and they passed him straight with no one saying anything to him.

As they approached an area where they would have turned into a yard, the sus-

family related to the police that the very suspect who was identified by Beet at the time of the crime was involved in an argument with the cousin’s boyfriend.

The cousin’s boyfriend was then invited to the police station where he was able to provide police with the name of the man who

It is not clear if the argument that the two men had might have been related to whatever “thing” the gunman approached London and demanded. When London was shot he was left lying with his gold chain and mobile phone intact.

After the police were given the name of the suspect the relatives searched for the young man on Facebook and when his photos were shown to both the man he had the argument with and the man who was walking with London when he was shot, both of them positively identified him as the person they had encountered days apart.

GECOM to provide a timely and more thorough and holistic status report detailing its level of readiness and preparedness for the holding of local government and/or general elections.

“There seems to be a view that this might be a march that GECOM is pulling, by seeming to set an election date… because without a declaration by setting a qualifying date that confers an obligatory period of validity of a list. Then, it’s saying if you want to use that list Mr. President you have to call elections within this period,” Luncheon

had said at an earlier press briefing.

He said there can be something “sinister” in this approach since it essentially marginalises the constitutional role of the Executive President in making that declaration for elections.

He recalled that prior to 1992, considerable amounts of energy and lives were lost in disputes and contentions over matters of electorate management; and from 1992 onwards, the wave of free and fair elections has not been a feature of the electoral practices in Guyana.

Funds provided for procuring fogging machines in ‘Cleanup Guyana Campaign’

By Telesha Ramnarine THROUGH the ‘Cleanup Guyana Campaign,’ funds have been provided for the procurement of fogging machines to aid in the struggle against insects, more particularly mosquitoes, Cabinet Secretary Dr Roger Luncheon informed yesterday.

Speaking at his weekly post-Cabinet press briefing at the Office of the President, in Georgetown, he said mini excavators also have to be acquired to enhance desilting efforts and the removal of solid waste.

Cabinet received the latest weekly report on the campaign that was compiled at the Ministry of Local Government, the budget agency that has command and control of the $1B that has been provided for cleanup of Georgetown and the rest of Guyana.

According to Luncheon, the ministry added additional information about the contracts for desilting the seven canals for which $34M has been committed.

Luncheon reminded that $100M was set aside for works in the Le Repentir Cemetery which include the drainage system, internal roads, and bridges, among other

works.

The labour of the Guyana Prison Service would be used to expedite the rehabilitation of works in the cemetery, Luncheon said. Though this has been contested by the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC), Luncheon said the body cannot prevent Government from using the services of the prison in the cleanup process.

Meanwhile, residents as well as those in the political arena continue to bemoan the state of the La Repentir cemetery, putting Mayor Hamilton Green in the spotlight over the failures of City Hall that have led to the cemetery’s current dilapidation.

General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Clement Rohee had in the past said the cemetery has degenerated into a “mini-jungle” and Public Works Minister Robeson Benn had declared it a “national embarrassment.”

Several residents who have spoken to the Guyana Chronicle contended that Le Repentir Cemetery is now a dumping area for garbage, amidst the overgrown grass and trees, and a breeding ground for reptiles; all of which constitute an eyesore that prevents loved ones from having a decent and respectful burial.

Aren’t you lucky today, my darlings? We have toiled all week to bring you an exciting mixture of pulsating entertainment cupcakes, and we have further decorated them with hot little ‘Jamzone pies’. With you in mind, we have added an extra serving of ‘Creole gossip’, topped with spicy servings of ‘blistering licks’ for those who erred and dared to be malicious. To make it more enticing, we included some stern warnings for irresponsible parents, and also tightened the ropes on those who were getting out of line. Yet again there are hot babes, delectable male morsels, and so much more.

GUYANA CHRONICLE Friday August 22, 2014

Whoy!!! People alyuh come hear story!

‘Chow Pow’ continues to display his callous, insensitive demeanour

THIS week, I will ‘mince no matters’ in declaring to all Guyana that I am terribly annoyed at the way in which the so-called comedian Kirk ‘Cow Chunks’ Jardine continues to display his callous, insensitive demeanour, and tries to pass it off as comedy.

For years I have looked and listened to him with disdain, and have often wondered, “Why somebody don’t pelt dat maan aff de stage!!” And trust me: I have my reasons for thinking the way I do.

But before I tell you folks the reasons, let me just show just how ‘empty-headed’ and stupid this man ‘Chow Pow’ can be: Just recently, the HJ Entertainment fraternity committed ‘entertainment suicide’ when they contracted Mr. Jardine to execute the functions of MC (Master of Ceremonies) at their Jamzone Bikers Fest event at the National Park.

As expected, he opened the event with his usual vulgar and lewd insinuations, and this ‘intellectually challenged’ individual could not even pronounce the word ‘tarmac’ properly. What a Caribbean catastrophe!

Then he decided to acknowledge the presence of the media representatives, which was certainly a good thing. But count on this guy to turn things sour…

“Now people, tell meh if Cow Chunks -- ow lawd, ah wha me ah seh? Look, me nah ah change me mouth -- Yes, ‘Chow Chunks’ eyes really pass we”. When it was time for him to acknowledge the Guyana Chronicle, he made crude remarks publicly implying that this publication is of no importance, and that practically nobody buys it.

Well, I was sitting next to Mr. Michael Fung of Mingles Band, and the man’s eyes popped open wide, his jaws dropped in dismay, and he immediately voiced his disgust at what this silly MC had done. The officials on the tarmac and many

persons on the stage on which I was sitting were aghast that ‘Cow Chunks’ could have been so insensitive.

Well people, let me inform you that ‘Cow Chunks’ was only being his usual insipid, disgusting self – the man with the brackish humour; and the silly twit, the pretend wit, was walking around in his idea of Seventh Heaven, beaming as if he had accomplished something worthwhile.

Well, I sympathise with this poor, misguided soul, because for all his worthless life, he has never been able to accomplish anything worthwhile. And let me inform you about a few things you may have already known about this individual but may be afraid to say: ‘Cow Chunks’ is one of the lamest attempts at comedy in Guyana, and everyone knows that. He thrives on vulgarity in his presentations, and that is the only reason why he gets a few laughs. He certainly cannot bring ‘clean and healthy comedy’ to the forum, because his fake talents cannot even begin to fathom what that means.

Without him rolling his ‘pot belly’ whilst ‘begging the audience to allow him to ‘wine’, telling the same old, stale, vulgar jokes, and even inciting racial rivalry with his ‘naive contributions’, he is practically nothing in the comedy arena.

‘Chow Pow’ yuh ain’t shame? De very publication dat yuh lambasting been featuring yuh repeatedly, but nat when yuh de write yuh own palish stories about excelling at comedy around de Caribbean and de email it to we. We weren’t there, so that is still to be decided.

But from what I saw Chow Pow present not so long ago, when he was placed alongside several international acts, when Vizion Sound Recording hosted the Caribbean Comedy Fest at Thirst Park, it’s quite evident that without the ‘vulgar jokes’ which he does over and over again, this dude is a complete failure…just as he was a failure when he dared to belittle this

21 Look at he nah! Was this even part ah de programme, or is it dat he had foresight fuh de future?

newspaper at a public forum.

Well, let me inform you, Mr. Chow Pow: when yuh ready again tuh beg de media fuh publicity, mek sure yuh race past de Bombshell, because we nah guh feature yuh in dis publication again!! And while yuh deh pon it, drap dem old time stupidy jokes wha mek up yuh portfolio and bring something good fuh public consumption. Dem jokes wha yuh gat, dems like tired weaves without ah drap ah hair jel or Vaseline. Change yuh dutty ways and yuh might geh fuh guh places.

IT ONLY TAKES A SPARK TO Bombshell’s Hottest Dudes...

GET LOVE’S FIRE BURNING Metellus Marcus is a firebrand HE chased her in the fields as a child whilst pond flies buzzed their approval. They played hop-scotch’ together as youngsters, stealing childish little kisses with pure childlike innocence.

They hopped and frolicked daily in the sun, unaware that true love was growing, clutching at their little hearts with strange feather-like fingers.

By the time they were teenagers, they were caught up in a whirlpool of broiling romance that threatened to shatter Calcutta Village with its intoxicating intensity.

Not able to hold off any longer, Rex and Tasha Mc Kenzie recently tied the knot, at the Calcutta Primary School, with a beautiful ceremony at which friends and relatives danced and celebrated until dawn.

As the hot ‘country gyals’ would normally do, dancehall hotties Stayon, Jenny, Tokisha, Janice, Kay and others shook the very structure of the building as they ‘split’, somersaulted and trembled their rear ends in wild jubilation.

Then Rex and Tasha left the wedding hall, giggling like teenagers as they pre-

Several years ago, he fed her with mangoes and sapodillas from the Calcutta Backdam.

This night, he is happily feeding her with delicious cake and other things as he shares his undying love with her. pared to culminate the night’s proceedings with endless love. Well, you all know what couples do on their wedding nights, don’t you?

And my! My! My! Calcutta village shook from one end to the other as Rex and Tasha expressed their sensual ecstasy into the early morning skies.

Bombshell applauds the happy couple for tying the

knot, and wishes them all the best in their future endeavours.

Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it. If a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned. Song of Solomon Chapter 8 verse 7.

Congratulations, Rex and Tasha!!!

with a raging inferno

…or so he says

WE have heard of men who have raved about the sensual things they can do to the opposite sex; and, of course, we have always applauded their macho energy.

Some have talked about ravaging skills, sensual seduction, captivating romance, and even about red hot erotic desire….

But just when we were thinking that we had heard it all, comes to the arena a dashing lad with mesmerising good looks, raving that he can set the ladies’ world afire!!!

Ladies, if you had opportunity to sit and listen to him rave about his special charms, it would have turned your knees into jelly.

But you know what? Your girls are still lucky, because Metellus Marcus is still here somewhere waiting for the first female to tap into his ecstatic energies.

Metellus says he loves a woman who is caring, funny, intelligent, ambitious, and must certainly know how to cook up a storm in the kitchen. Remember ladies, that old, time worn adage that says “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”.

That aside, Metellus takes great pride in his looks, and revealed that his mirror is his best friend. Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the … dude of all?

Don’t let me rattle on about all his special charms. You find

not derive consolation from thinking that the name Metellus sounds like Latin and therefore bespeaks a certain charm.

Good luck in this enterprise, you adventurous Delilahs.

What a tasty morsel

Oh, by the way, this dude hates his first name, and wants you to ask for “Gavin”, the name by which he is more popularly known. He does

‘Father Moey Birth Nite Bash’ set for Lusignan Centre Ground -fantastic gate prizes up for grabs

THE East Coast Demerara Promoter of the Year (Father Moey) is ready to create shockwaves again, and this time the ‘entertainment tremors’ will spiral from the bowels of the Lusignan Community Centre Ground.

Come Saturday, August 30, 2014, this location will explode with intense festivity as the promoter stages yet another leg of his annual ‘Father Moey Birth Nite Bash’.

This year, the event will have quite a few new attractions, in that patrons can win fantastic gate prizes, inclusive of two cellular phones, two microwaves, two electric irons, and five cases of Stag beer. That aside, parents are urged to bring out the kids, since there are over five hundred giveaways just for the children.

With children in mind, promoters have also included a ‘Children’s Fun Park’ that will feature cartoon characters like Mickey and Mini Mouse, Barney and Dora.

And at the onset of dusk, fans can congregate at the venue for one of the most sizzling live shows ever, as comedian Kirk ‘Chow Pow’ Jardine and character dancer Ivelaw ‘Granny Fit’ Campbell ensure they laugh ‘till deh belly buss open’ Spectacular performances are expected from the Shalita Dance Troupe, Jenny Dance Group, and the Divine Starz of Buxton; besides theatrics from Linden ‘Jumbie’ Jones, and presentations from three top local artistes.

This event is sponsored by S&S Washbay, Star Party Rentals, Giftland OfficeMax, Tony’s

You Shouldn’t Do That!!!

DE BAD EXAMPLE COMING DOWN FROM PARENTS/ ADULTS TUH DE CHILDREN I JUST can’t imagine how some parents can be so ‘slack’ these days. But yuh see when parents deh bout de place behaving carefree and inconsiderate, it just goes to show dat some ah dem is just big time slackers demselves.

Imagine, de adda day I went tuh covah a show pon de East Bank of Demerara, and way afta ten ah clack in de night, two moddas get some young toddlers at de venue wining and carrying awn in ah very vulgar mannah.

Come on people! Shouldn’t that hour be their bed time?

And if yuh see how dem big women deh clapping and laughing and cheering dem two lil gyals like crazy!! Shame! Shame!! Shame pon dem dutty mumma dem dah!!!

And I nearly collapsed in a coma when the MC (Bobby Vieira) stopped the live band and had the women put one of the little girls to gyrate in a lewd manner on top of the stage.

And if yuh hear how de equally dutty crowd deh cheering and going awn. Dem two irresponsible mummas dem want a sound thrashing, and de MC shoulda be stripped, tied up and placed on ants’ nest fuh hours…. Oh me mumma whoy! It look like de world gawn maad!

It is my opinion that the relevant authorities should deal severely with parents and adults who are callous enough to have toddlers up late into the night, cavorting in the same dancehalls with them. No wonder so many of our young girls are going ‘haywire’.

Shame pon dem mumma dis! Look how dem gat dem toddlers carrying awn suh late in de night!

Auto Spares, Monster Energy Drink, HGP-TV, Stag Beer, and Marcus Trading.

Supporting the event also are Choke Gas Station, Big M Taxi Service, Precise Printing, E-Networks, Lucozade, R. Singh Jewellery and Pawn Shop, Big M Taxi Service, Looknaught Lumber Yard, and Night News.

Music for the event will be supplied by Determine Family, TRS Sounds, Pretty Love, Lexus Blingerz and Full Clip Sound Systems.

Gates will be open from 4pm.

Let’s tell it like it is…

Such ah nice gyal get deceitfully swindled into marriage A POOR girl is having the time of her life and is about to fall into a coma after she found out, just three days before her marriage, that her intended husband was INDEED STILL MARRIED to his former wife, and was desperately trying to obtain an absolute so that he can marry her.

And this woman is a much respected figure from the Lower East Coast. She has fainted so many times when she received the news that I am afraid she would barely be able to stand should she ever get to marry “the man of her dreams”.

“Man of her dreams”???

She has certainly picked up a nightmare for a husband.

What I know for a fact is dat this dutty bai marrying de gyal because she come from good home and she gat nuff rich family ‘out deh in fareign’.

Dis is wan big, shameful, dutty story, because all

Look how dat terrible man gat dis poor gyal ah cry, eh?

Look at yuh, eh? Yuh shameful man! De whole village shoulda give yuh a sound thrashing

de gyal family done come in from Ethiopia and de gyal ain’t tell dem de shameful news as yet. Oh me mumma whoy!

But me ain’t know why she marrying dat countahfeit bai, because he ain’t gat wan cent tuh he name, and he suh

ugly dat he mek dem Ninja Turtles look handsome!

Well, deh seh dat every moley biscuit gat it own funky cheese, and Ah want tuh believe dat; but dis gyal ain’t no dutty wares.

But hear de hang ah de story nah (Meh gat tuh

whispah dis piece): Dis big “love ah she life” bai gat wan big sore foot, and dem dactah seh he cyant mek pickney! And ah know he ain’t tell de gyal dem things, because he want marry she fuh she money!!

Dis bai travel all ovah de Caribbean and he ain’t save a dime, because he deh bout de place begging fuh $5000 fuh pay some lawyah fuh get he absolute.

I hear dat de wife refuse fuh gie he ah divorce, suh I ain’t know how he getting married tuh dis nice, decent gyal.

Well, wan ah de bai relative call fuh ask a certain edecated man fuh pretend tuh be a pastah and duh de ceremony, but de man refuse because he seh de groom still married tuh anadda woman,

and he ain’t want de Creatah fuh rain fyah and brimstone pon he. De bright bai darn right fuh duh duh!!!

How in Heaven’s Name could this groom plan another wedding without being divorced from his current lawfully married wife? Dis world really getting crazy, eh?

And could you believe this: Ah hear dem ain’t get through wid de absolute, but de groom brodda carry de $5000 and give he de adda day; but dem can’t get de absolute fuh de time dat dem want it fah (which is just around the corner).

Suh guess wha dem people dis do: De groom brotha get a pastah fuh duh de ceremony jus laka dat, tuh avoid he putting de gyal tuh shame; and de wedding going awn

as per narmal.

But I hear dat de real wife planning fuh turn up wid she mini skirt and push down de wedding cake.

Whey! People ah whey alyuh deh? Dis is definitely de wedding ah de century.

Well, I sarry fuh de pastah who marrying dem.

Like he ain’t fear de wrath ah de Creatah?

And it look like de bridegroom family gat tuh stand all de wedding expenses, because de groom ain’t put a dime!!!

Well, whatevah happen at de wedding house, yuh know de Bombshell gat deh spies deh, and dem gon bring it tuh we live and direct!!!

And my darlings, you can rest assure that I am going to tell it to you just like it is!

Lisa Punch pays courtesy call on staffers at Guyana Chronicle ONE day before leaving Guyana for the USA, where she now resides, our home girl and super-talented songstress Lisa Punch paid a courtesy call on staffers at the Guyana Chronicle.

This human dynamite interacted with employees and well-wishers, who liter-

ally beamed ‘from head to toe’ upon the diva’s arrival. She declared that she was motivated to visit the Guyana Chronicle because of the resounding support they had given her since she had entered and participated in the ABC’s ‘Rising Star’ Reality Show earlier this year.

She related that she was even happier to be in our environs since our own Alex Wayne was the first to give her newspaper coverage when he spotted her at the 2006 Star Guyana TV Reality Show, which she won with flying colours.

Staffers tumbled over themselves to take photographs with the talented beauty, and reluctantly bid her farewell

when she left, clutching underarm nine copies of the Chronicle newspaper which featured articles on her performance at the Apollo Theatre and on the various legs of the Rising Star Show.

Bombshell vows to support Punch in her future aspirations, and will also give any other Guyanese the same support as they embark on the journey of taking Guyana to higher height musically.

City drainage deficiencies again exposed during intermittent showers

By Leroy Smith

CLOGGED drains, floating garbage, flooded pavements and streets, chaotic parking, elevated goods inside stores and general confusion became the new normal in Georgetown yesterday following intermittent showers between Wednesday evening and Thursday.

Yesterday many businesses were forced to employ preventative measures to keep water from entering their stores while others who could not were forced to mount their goods which

GUYANA CHRONICLE Friday August 22, 2014

Aries March 21 - April 19 Don’t worry about being productive today. You might still accomplish more than you have in a long time. The cosmic energy indicates that if you didn’t get everything done that you wanted to yesterday, you’re sure to do it today.

Dig in your heels and go. Things will get done with time to spare. If you’re into a creative hobby, work on that, too. You’ll find it rewarding.

Taurus April 20 - May 20 Expect an added boost of physical energy today. It’s an excellent day to clean out closets. Exercise like yoga or walking will be most enjoyable. It could also prove to be well worth your while to look at your goals. Are you where you want to be at this stage of your life or are there changes that need to be made? Give your brain and body a good workout.

are on sale.

The Guyana Chronicle while traversing mainly Regent Street where most of the commercial activities of the city are located found total confusion and congestion as pedestrians were forced to abandon flooded pavements and converge in the streets amidst the floating garbage.

The fact that pedestrians were forced to use the roadways as the walking path saw the width of the road for the use of vehicles being narrowed.

Yesterday also saw the bad judgement of several business owners who moved their goods even further onto the roadway as the waters covered the pavement outside their stores where they would usually vend.

The situation of clogged drains in the city saw businesses, vehicles and pedestrians competing for dry space on Regent Street which could have been described as nothing but chaotic.

The Georgetown Mayor and City Council has been at logger heads with the Ministry of Local Government with respect to its responsibility and the need to ensure that City Hall fulfils its mandate of ensuring that the city is properly managed.

The Council on the other hand has accused the government of not granting its wish to increase taxes and implement other environmental taxes and revenue-generating activities.

The Government of Guyana for its part has allocated one billion Guyana dollars in its 2014 National Budget dedicated to a countrywide clean-up exercise. Half of that amount has been dedicated to the Capital, Georgetown.

Georgetown was once referred to as the Garden City. Now this very city is referred to as “Garbage City”.

Gemini May 21 - June 21 If certain projects or tasks have seemed difficult for you to finish, today’s energy will give you the zip you need. The energy indicates that things will go well for you once you get started. It’s a good time to meet with others to discuss business or other arrangements. Your increased communication and cooperative skills will make decisions easier than usual.

Cancer June 22 - July 22 You might feel more energetic than you have in a long time. A powerful energy that increases your mental acuity and physical strength can really help you finish anything that’s pending. If you managed to accomplish so much already that you have time to spare, it’s fine to help others with their load. Be sure to put yours first, though.

Leo July 23 - August 22 If there’s something you’ve wanted to take on, today’s the day. There’s an increase in your physical and mental strength. Dispose of any insecurity or lack of confidence and take the steps to tackle a project or goal. You have an innate ability to make sound judgments and this is what you need to trust.

Take steps to get what you want.

Virgo August 23 - September 22 If you’ve been feeling sluggish lately, this will be a welcome day for you.

You’ll feel a surge in energy that greatly increases your creativity and physical strength. Seize the opportunity to be outside for sports or a walk. Such things will direct your energy and give your mind a chance to clear. Don’t be surprised if you have more focus later. Make the most of this.

Libra September 23 - October 22 If there’s something interesting that you’ve wanted to try, this is a great day for it. Adventure brings excitement, creative flow, and energy, which are essential to you. You’re highly artistic. Continual stimulation is required to keep your psyche healthy. Experience something new today, even if it’s a walk in a new place. You’ll get the adrenaline you need.

Scorpio October 23 - November 21 With today’s energy, you can take steps toward getting things in order. Tackle desk drawers, closets, storage rooms, or filing cabinets. When you create order, you gain a sense of peace and personal control. Mental organisation, such as goal planning, brainstorming, or scheduling, will add to this, too. Do what you can to clean out as many mental and physical corners as possible.

Sagittarius November 22 - December 21 Today’s energy can have you feeling ready for anything. Given your more radical approach, you may need to keep in check. Humanitarianism is part of your being, so if the pursuit of something you want hurts others, it would be a serious contradiction. Think through your actions before following through to ensure that you remain true to your ethical standards.

Capricorn December 22 - January 19 Today might be a good day to take a second shot at something that didn’t work out the first time. Falling flat on your face can damage your self-esteem and confidence, but such things are part of life, and they really do add character. By going back into the ring, you ensure that you build courage and perseverance.

Aquarius January 20 - February 18 Your ability to find innovative approaches to things may serve you well today.

Strong energy and mental acuity continue today, and you’ll find that most things come easily. When approaching projects, take extra time to consider possibilities. Try seeing things from every angle. You’ll likely find far more choices than you originally thought there were. Jot down ideas.

Pisces February 19 - March 20 If long-overdue work has piled up, today is the day to dig in. This is especially so for things you weren’t able to handle yesterday. Fortunately, you have added strength and mental acuity. Things will go smoothly. Make the most of this energy by not putting off anything. The pile will just grow if you procrastinate. Do what needs to be done and you’ll feel great.

Pollard looking to “It didn’t make sense getting balls from which you could score and blocking them just because you were in a spot of bother. That helped to change the momentum, then the Bangladeshis pulled things back, and then came another period when we stuck our necks out again.”

Pollard also dispelled the notion that the last six weeks of Twenty20 in the CPL had allowed a few bad habits to creep in, leading to West Indies early stumbles when they chased.

The second ODI takes place today at the same venue before the series concludes with the last of the three matches next Monday at Warner Park.

Djokovic faces difficult Termination of... draw at U.S. Open From back page

Serena Williams

By Larry Fine NEW YORK, New York (Reuters) - Top-seeded Novak Djokovic was handed a danger-filled path to the final of the U.S. Open and a possible showdown with number two Roger Federer after yesterday’s draw for the season’s final grand slam.

Djokovic, who has advanced to the final each of the last four years hoisting the title in 2011, plays his first-round match against unseeded Argentine Diego Schwartzman but the Serb must navigate an increasingly trickier path.

The world number one figures to meet either 2012 champion Andy Murray or the on-form Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the quarterfinals.

Federer, winner of five consecutive U.S. Open titles

from 2004, opens against Australian Marinko Matosevic.

The second seeded Swiss, aiming to add to his record haul of 17 majors at the advanced age of 33, figures to have a fairly easy ride to a quarterfinals clash against seventh seed Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria, nicknamed ‘Baby Fed’ for his versatile game.

On the women’s side, two-time defending champion and top seed Serena Williams also looks to have drawn a stern test with former U.S. champion Sam Stosur of Australia a possible fourth-round opponent and eighth seed Ana Ivanovic projected for the quarters.

Wi l l i a m s , w h o h a s endured a disappointing grand slam season so far, said she was keen to end

on a high note and add to her career haul of 17 major singles titles.

“I feel good. I feel like I’m playing really well,” said Williams, who looked fit and glamorous with long, blonde curls framing her face in an appearance at the draw.

“The way my year has gone, I’m worried about every single match,” she said when asked to evaluate her draw.

Second seed Simona Halep of Romania opens against American wild card Danielle Rose Collins with a possible clash against Venus Williams in the fourth

DJOKOVIC JOUSTS The top half of the men’s draw has third seeded Swiss Australian Open winner Stan Wawrinka on a collision course to face the thundering serves of fifth-seeded Canadian Milos Raonic in the round of eight.

On the women’s side, the other quarter of the top half is also loaded with upset-minded players and could offer an early sequel to the Wimbledon final.

Third-seed Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic is projected to face seventh seed Canadian Eugenie Bouchard in the quarters in a rematch of their

Novak Djokovic round.

The other projected fourth-round match in Halep’s quarter would have French Open champion Maria Sharapova against former number one Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark.

All England Club final.

Other dangerous players in that bracket include twice U.S. winner Svetlana Kuznetsova and former number one Victoria Azarenka of Belarus threatening to upset the form chart.

Becker surprised by criticism of appointment by Djokovic

Boris Becker (REUTERS) - Boris Becker says he was surprised by the level of criticism when world number one Novak Djokovic took him on as his coach last year.

The former Wimbledon champion had been seen on television as a commentator but many felt Becker, whose off-court escapades threatened to eclipse his

tennis achievements, did not have much to offer the Serbian 15 years after his retirement.

But Djokovic’s victory at Wimbledon in July, in a classic five-setter against Roger Federer, showed the value of input from one of the game’s greatest serve-volleyers.

“It was a little bit strange, (I was) a little bit surprised,” Becker told CNN’s Open Court when asked about the reaction to his appointment.

“I wasn’t aware I had that many doubters.

“This is a part of sometimes being Boris Becker, being so much in the front row of life that a lot of people feel

like they are entitled to their opinion even though they have no idea about me.”

The German said he was honoured when approached

by Djokovic in October, but he has had to be tough.

“He’s a great student.

Yet he is very hard-headed.

He is very convinced about his way. He should be - so some of the conversations weren’t that easy,” the 46-year-old added.

Becker, the winner of six grand slam titles including three at the All England Club, said this year’s final was a “nightmare’ after Federer came back to win the fourth set after saving a match point.

“I was a little bit worried to say the least, I thought Novak was on the ropes Roger did another Roger.”

But Djokovic held on to win the fifth set and his seventh major title.

“It felt like I came around full circle. I truly love Wimbledon, it’s given me everything that I am today,” he said. “And it felt right to be coaching Djokovic and it felt right for him to win.”

Djokovic will begin his pursuit of a second U.S. Open title against Argentine Diego Schwartzman when the season’s final grand slam begins next week.

The construction of the clubhouse started just after the construction of the North Eastern and North Western stands began and while those two stands are about 90 percent complete with only the rails and painting to be completed and this should be done by the end of next month.

All there is to show for the clubhouse is the completion of the foundation and the erection of columns and beams.

“We’re just not satisfied with their performance and will just have to terminate

their contract.

Meanwhile, according to King, works on the rest of the facility is moving apace and it should be officially opened before the end of the year.

He said the track with the required markings is 100 percent complete so is the international-size football field that is situated in the centre of the 400-metre track.

King said the access and internal roads are 95 percent complete as well as the ticket booths and security buildings.

Bangladesh must...

There is room for West Indies to improve with the ball too. Sunil Narine, though wicketless, troubled the batsmen but the seamers were loose with their lines and lengths on a pitch that was on the slower side.

Bangladesh have work to do.

Their strike-rates at the top need improvement, and they need to find ideas when the match is on edge. They can take encouragement from the restraint Tamim Iqbal and Nasir Hossain showed while trying to build their innings, Anamul Haque’s application during his century, and Al-Amin’s incisiveness.

If Bangladesh don’t get it together today, their winless run in 2014 will cost them another series.

Kieron Pollard was Man-ofthe-Match in the first ODI but Denesh Ramdin’s role was as important. He rotated strike when none of the batsmen above him had been willing to do so and enabled Pollard to bat with relatively less pressure. Ramdin was able to find the boundaries too, and his recent dependable form in the lower-middle order is a welcome support for West

Indies.

It would be surprising if Mushfiqur Rahim let his batting from the first game affect his innings in the second.

He has been Bangladesh’s most prolific scorer this year, and for him to throw it away before getting a proper look-in was unusual.

West Indies (probable): Chris Gayle, Kirk Edwards, Darren Bravo, Lendl Simmons, Denesh Ramdin (wkp.), Dwayne Bravo (capt.), Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine, Jason Holder, Ravi Rampaul, Kemar Roach.

Mominul Haque or Mithun Ali could replace Shamsur Rahman at No. 4, but the decision to bat Shamsur at that position was made from Dhaka. Shamsur will feel he deserves another chance at a role that is not his usual responsibility.

Bangladesh (probable): Tamim Iqbal, Anamul Haque, Imrul Kayes, Shamsur Rahman, Mushfiqur Rahim (capt. & wkp.), Nasir Hossain, Mahmudullah, Sohag Gazi, Mashrafe Mortaza, Taskin Ahmed, Al-Amin Hossain.

Berbice Police cricket clubs get gear from overseas-based former cop THE newly formed Betsy Ground/Goed Bananen Land Police Youth Club, along with the Betsy Ground Triple Star Cricket Club, received a quantity of sports gear, from former policeman Bobby Kewlochand, now resident of the United States of America.

Kewlochand, who once resided at Goed Bananen Land, and played as an allrounder for his home team, opted not to return to his homeland empty-handed, but instead, to bring with him, several cricket pads, bats, balls, equipment and cash for the respective teams..

The former cop, who served the Guyana Police Force between 1995 and 2004 before migrating, took the opportunity to present

the tokens of appreciation to Police ‘B’ Division, Youth and Scout Coordinator and OC No1 Subdivision Assistant Superintendent Guy Nurse.

Nurse was accompanied

by Chief Inspector Gregory Springer, who has the responsibility for the East Canje District.

Following the

presentation, both officers expressed their appreciation to their former colleague and are optimistic that similar gestures will continue. (Jeune van Keric)

Rosberg and Hamilton agree to disagree

By Alan Baldwin S P A FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium (Reuters) Championship leader Nico Rosberg and Mercedes team mate Lewis Hamilton appeared at odds again, if not poles apart, yesterday before renewing their Formula One title battle in Belgium.

Returning to work after the long August break, both drivers were asked about a “team orders” controversy that erupted at the previous race in Hungary.

Rosberg indicated they had discussed the situation and moved on. Hamilton said there had been no talks between the two and saw no need for any.

“I gather it was a bit of a mess afterwards, after Hungary, so it’s best I don’t add too much, I think, and I continue to not give too many details,” Rosberg told a news conference without Hamilton present.

“In general, of course, we discussed it after the race – just because it’s important to review a situation like that and know how to move forward.

“Now we’re moving forward but, of course, I have also learned various things from that race which I will try to adapt for the future,” added the German, relaxed after a vacation on the Italian islands of Capri and Ischia.

Rosberg is 11 points ahead of Hamilton after 11 of 19 races, despite the Briton having won five times to his four for the sport’s dominant team.

In Hungary, Hamilton had started in the pitlane and last

Lewis Hamilton while Rosberg was on pole and seemingly headed for a comfortable victory.

By the chequered flag in a race twice interrupted by the safety car, Hamilton was third and Rosberg fourth - with the German complaining that his team mate had not let him through when the team had asked him to.

Hamilton, with some justification, pointed out that Rosberg had never been close enough and he was not about to slow down and scupper his own chances.

The team subsequently supported his actions.

“There wasn’t (a discussion).

I don’t know what Nico has said but we haven’t all sat down together as yet,” Hamilton told reporters when asked about Rosberg’s yesterday’s comments.

“I’m not particularly sure it needs to happen,” added the 2008 world champion.

“I’ve come here quite clear on what is to be done and needs to be done, and I feel quite comfortable with how the team has reacted and the decision they have made.

“It’s very clear for me. I’m not sure it’s the same for the other side.”

Pollard looking to step up for Windies ST GEORGE’S, Grenada (CMC) – Kieron Pollard said he wants to become a more consistent match-winner for West Indies in the future.

Pollard hit an entertaining 89 and was the architect of a three-wicket victory for the Windies over Bangladesh in the first One-day International on Wednesday here.

He shared a 145-run, sixth-wicket stand with fellow Trinidadian Denesh Ramdin and rescued an imploding West Indies, following a top-order batting collapse which left them reeling on 34 for five, chasing 218 for victory

at the Grenada National Stadium.

“If I am honest with myself, it is about time that I take some responsibility,” said Pollard. “I have been around for a long time and, hopefully, I can become more consistent playing innings like this.

“Leading the Barbados Tridents in the Caribbean Premier League over the last few weeks has been a learning curve for me again and winning that tournament and shouldering a lot of responsibilities there.

“I want to be more consistent playing innings like this for West Indies and

any other side of which I am a part.”

Last Saturday, Pollard and Ramdin were foes during the contentious final of the CPL at Warner Park in St Kitts, but their familiarity from playing for the Trinidad & Tobago national team in other competitions bred success during their partnership.

“We have been playing together for a long time and this was a great opportunity for us to come together and get a very good win for the side,” he said.

“We were, however, a little disappointed that we did not stay and carry things right through

until the end, but this is something that we will need to continue to work on and try to consistently and strongly finish games.”

Pollard said coming from the depths from which they did was a morale boost for West Indies, but it also proved there were areas that still needed improvement.

“At 34 for five, there was an enormous amount of pressure, but cricket is a funny game, and it was proven again in this match,” he said.

to win, if either one of us got dismissed early. Jason Holder is a very good allrounder and has proved himself in Test cricket so far, but we needed to stay.”

“Prior to the game, we had discussed that our batters have to take responsibility, but it didn’t happen and so Ramdin and I knew it was going to be crucial for the team for us to stay there.”

Although he struck five fours and six sixes in his 70-ball innings, Pollard said conditions were not the easiest for scoring, but he and Ramdin chose discretion as the best part of valour.

“We had to play each ball on its merit, play within our zones and limitations and still try to counter-attack,” he said.

de Kock stars as Proteas cruise to series whitewash (REUTERS) - Opener Quinton de Kock smashed 84 as a weakened South Africa crushed Zimbabwe by seven wickets to complete a whitewash in their three-match ODI series at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo yesterday.

After putting their hosts in to bat, South Africa skittled Zimbabwe for 165 inside 40 overs before chasing down their target to end at 171 for three with 136 balls to spare.

The Proteas, who had already rested fast bowling trio Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel and Vernon Philander for this series, left out their top two batsmen as well for the final match as Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers sat out.

That meant debuts for opener Rilee Rossouw and seamer Mthokozisi Shezi, and a return to the side for fast bowler Marchant de Lange.

The latter was the pick of the bowlers with a return of three for 31 as his extreme pace had the Zimbabwe batsmen hopping around the crease.

Only Zimbabwe captain Elton Chigumbura offered any sort of resistance to the Proteas with 90 as he put on 46 for the 10th wicket with Tinashe Panyangara, before he was bowled by a slower ball from de Lange to deny him his century.

Quinton de Kock All of the runs in the lastwicket stand were scored by Chigumbura to add some respectability to Zimbabwe’s total after they had looked as though they would be bowled out for under 120.

Rossouw’s dream of playing international cricket turned into something of a nightmare when he was run-out trying to steal a run off the first ball he faced.

If there were any jitters in the South African camp after that they were settled by the remarkable de Kock, who on Tuesday became the joint fastest player to 1 000 ODI runs, and captain for the day Faf du Plessis (40). de Kock perished late in the innings chasing his century with his 84 coming from 75 balls.

The two teams will now be joined by Australia in a triangular tournament to be played in Harare starting on Monday.

Carter, Williams grab Diamond League wins STOCKHOLM, Sweden (CMC) – Veterans Nesta Carter and Novlene Williams-Mills kept the Jamaica flag flying high with impressive wins in their pet events at the DN Galan Diamond League meet yesterday.

The Trinidad & Tobago pair of Keston Bledman and Jehue Gordon also collected podium finishes, but Olympic champion Keshorn Walcott finished outside of the topthree in javelin.

Carter clocked a season-best 9.96 seconds and was the only sprinter to dip below 10 seconds as he won the men’s 100 metres dash.

He finished 0.13 secs ahead of Bledman with Britain’s Chijindu Ujah finishing third in the same time of fourth-placed Commonwealth Games bronze medallist Nickel Ashmeade from Jamaica on a chilly night in the Swedish capital.

The 32-year-old Williams-Mills, a breast cancer survivor, ran close to her season-best to upset Olympic champion Sanya

Richards-Ross of the United States and the reigning American champion Francena McCorory, taking the women’s 400 in 50.09.

It was her fourth Diamond League 400 win for the season, following success in Oslo on June 11, Shanghai on May 18 and Eugene, Oregon, two weeks later.

Jamaica-born Richards-Ross clocked 50.27 and McCorory ran 50.65, with Commonwealth Games gold medallist Stephenie McPherson running 51.01 for fourth and her Jamaican compatriot Christine Day fifth in 52.03.

Gordon secured the other podium finish for the English-speaking Caribbean at the meet, when he ran a lethargic 50.13 to finish third in the men’s 400 hurdles, where Olympic and World silver medallist Michael Tinsley of the United States overtook Puerto Rico’s Javier Culson after the final barrier.

Tinsley won in 49.60 seconds, well off Culson’s world-leading 48.03 from June 14. He also passed

Stag Beer Inter-Village 5-a-side football kicks off tonight … Tiger Bay and top city teams to invade the West Side AFTER a postponement of just over a week, the Ansa McAl/Stag Beer Inter-Village 5-a-side football tournament will now kick off tonight at the Vergenoegen Rice Mill tarmac from 19:00hrs and some of Guyana’s best street football players will take centre stage.

The tournament will see teams from outside of the West Coast and West Bank of Demerara and the East Bank of Essequibo, since, according to the organisers, the overwhelming response has forced their hands to make a change.

“With the inclusion of teams from Georgetown, the tournament is now more interesting and will surely add more than flair and excitement. We were basically bombarded by those teams to be part of it, so, we had to postpone our initial start to accommodate them,” said coordinator Collin ‘BL’ Aaron.

The long-time football administrator and former FIFA Referee pointed out that the tournament will engage over 16 teams, though not giving an exact number, noting “We’ve received more teams that we expected but we’ll chose a sufficient number which will allow us to finish within the

stipulated playing dates.”

Apart from the opening action tonight, the tournament will be continuing on August 22, 27, 29 and 31, along with September 3, 5 and grand final on September 7.

While the winners will pocket $200 000, second through fourth places will go home with $100 000, $75 000 and $25 000 respectively.

This is the first time an event of such magnitude is being held on the ‘West Side’ and the organisers are optimistic of a successful tournament, with Aaron pointing out “nothing much is happening in football, especially on the ‘West Side’ and people are hungry for some action, especially the players, so I believe this is a great start for something we hope will be an annual feature which will grow into something big.”

The Vergenoegen Rice Mill tarmac and Pouderoyen Basketball Court are the two venues that will host the event.

Slingerz Family will provide nightly entertainment and apart from the games being free for the football-loving public, lucky patrons will have a chance to cash in on several giveaways.

Culson in the Diamond League standings.

Walcott hurled 84.27 metres for a sixth-place finish in the men’s javelin, which was won by Finland’s Antti Ruuskanen with a distance of 87.24m.

On a night when European champions found things tough, Ruuskanen bucked the trend with his second effort.

Schillonie Calvert of Jamaica ran 23.57 and was

only good enough for sixth place, failing to break the American dominance of the women’s 200 which was won by Allyson Felix with a time of 22.85, denying compatriot Tori Bowie from another statement win.

Olympic champion Felix continued on the comeback trail following a hamstring injury at the World Championships last year with her second Diamond League

200 victory this season, edging Bowie, the secondfastest woman in the 200 this year, by six-hundredths of a second with Joanna Atkins, another American, third.

O’Dayne Richards of Jamaica had a distance of 20.46m in the men’s shot put, won by Olympic bronze medallist Reese Hoffa of the United States in a field that also included the reigning Olympic and World champions.

Termination of contract looms for errant synthetic track contractor

By Michael DaSilva

A CONTRACTING company contracted to do works at Guyana’s first synthetic athletic facility faces a possible termination of its contract due to continuous delays in the works to be carried out.

This is according to Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport Alfred King.

In an exclusive interview with Chronicle Sport yesterday, King said the contracting company, Dookie’s Contracting Company, has had a specific timeframe to complete

the construction of the clubhouse at the Synthetic Track at Leonora, West Coast Demerara, but the contractors are seriously lagging in their works.

“We explained to them that they will have to keep within a timeframe and if they don’t, we’ll have to terminate their contract,” King informed.

According to the Permanent Secretary, the company does not have a timely supply of materials; they also do not have the right skills set or the right machinery to get the job done in a timely manner.

“We’ve been working with all the contractors so as to complete the facility. We

Minister of Sport Dr Frank Anthony, second left, Permanent Secretary Alfred King and other Ministry staff paying a visit to the synthetic track. told them (Dookie’s Contracting) about their poor performance and we might have to terminate their contract,” King stated.

Asked who will complete the

work on the clubhouse which is being constructed between the North Eastern and North Western spectators’ stands, King said the company that tendered the second

lowest bid from the initial stage of the bidding process will be offered the opportunity to complete that phase of the construction of the clubhouse.

Second ODI today

Bangladesh must kick losing habit to save ODI series WEST Indies sweated for their 1-0 lead on Wednesday but it could prove a crucial advantage in a series likely to be affected by rain.

While it is unlikely the hosts will be as slipshod in the second game, Bangladesh are still searching for a performance good enough to bring them a first win in 2014.

For the first hour of West Indies’ chase of 218, Bangladesh were producing that

performance. They tied down Chris Gayle, played on Kirk Edwards’ patience and induced poor shots from Lendl Simmons and the brothers Bravo, leaving West Indies on 34 for 5 in 13.1 overs. Bangladesh were a wicket away from the tail but they did not get it for 145 runs. Denesh Ramdin was sensible, Kieron Pollard powerful, and they were dismissed only after they had put West Indies on verge of victory.
