State House pulses with peals of infectious laughter ––as President, First Lady fete children for Christmas

STATE House came alive with peals of laughter and the sound of little voices singing carols as the First Lady Foundation feted some 600 children at the Main Street location on Saturday.

President Donald Ramotar even interrupted his usually busy schedule to speak briefly with the children, wishing all gathered

a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year, while he encouraged the boys and girls to continue to be good children.

He explained that like many others, this is also his favourite time of the year, and he is very happy to be able to share Christmas joy with the children.

The Head of State put his vocals to the test as he belted

out numerous Christmas Carols with some assistance from the children present. He told them that although the season is apt for enjoyment, they should not neglect to make their education a priority.

President Ramotar also urged the parents present to keep their children in school, because education is key to a better future.

Entertained by elves from the First Lady Foundation, the children sang carols, played games, and danced with the elves. Santa was present to assist the First Lady with the distribution of gifts to the 600 boys and girls. The children were also given party bags with lots of goodies.

Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle during her visit to Black Bush Polder in Region Six, First Lady, Madame Deolatchmee Ramotar explained that this is her favourite time of the year as well, and she feels the best way to celebrate this festive season is to spend it with children.

“It’s a period when you share with children, and I always feel fulfilled when I Turn to centre

7th Cycle of Continuous Registration ends December 31 GECOM says...

THE Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has advised that the 7th Cycle of Continuous Registration will end on Wednesday, December 31, 2014.

A GECOM release has said the decision was made during the 436th Statutory Meeting of the Commission, held on Tuesday, December 9.

GECOM is also advising that anyone who would be fourteen years or older by March 31st, 2015 and is a Guyanese citizen by birth,

descent or naturalization, or is a citizen of a Commonwealth country who has been living continuously in Guyana for one year or more, is eligible for registration.

“GECOM is asking that persons make a special effort to get registered before December 31, 2014, so as to be part of the new National Register of Registrants (NRR)” the statement said.

GECOM has, moreover, revealed that as of Wednesday last, December 17th, 4,277 registration transac-

tions were completed, with 3,116 being new registrants.

Of the new registrants, 1,457 are persons 18 years and older, while 1,659 are registrants aged 14 to 18 years.

The percentage of verification, the release disclosed, currently stands at 95.8 percent.

In relation to the number of registrants requesting changes to the information on their ID Cards, the amount stood at some 611, while those requesting transfers amounted to 550.

GECOM is, as such, reiterating the call for persons to visit the nearest Registration Office in their area to conduct their registration transaction.

The office hours during which persons can apply for registration or collect ID cards are as follows: Monday to Friday from 09:00hrs to 13:00hrs, and from 14:30hrs to 18:00hrs; Saturdays from 10:00hrs to 14:00hrs.

All GECOM offices will be closed on Sundays and holidays, the release said.

GECOM also sought to reference Section 6 of the National Registration Act, Chapter, 19:08, which it obligatory for persons who meet the registration criteria to apply for registration. Persons eligible for registration who neglect to register could be prosecuted, fined and/or even sent to prison for failing or refusing to apply for registration. In the case of eligible persons under the age of 18 years by the qualifying date, the parents/guardians could be prosecuted for failure/re-

fusal to apply for registration on their behalf.

“It is the civic duty and legal responsibility of all Guyanese who meet the eligibility requirements to apply for registration during this cycle of continuous registration. By so doing, they would be ensuring that they are included on the official lists of electors for future elections, if they meet the other eligibility criteria and be issued with National ID cards”, the statement concluded.

German delegation calls on GECOM Chairman THE Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) on Thursday hosted a number of foreign dignitaries from the Federal Republic of Germany as part of its efforts to ensure the smooth conduct of elections.

A GECOM press statement has said that its Chairman, Dr. Steve Surujbally, had met with German Ambassador to CARICOM and the Eastern Caribbean States, Lutz H. Görgens; Honorary Consul for the Federal Republic of Germany, Ben ter Welle; and Director of the German Federal Foreign Office responsible for Mexican, Central American and Caribbean affairs, Rüdiger Lotz, in a high level meeting that addressed matters of concern, including GECOM’s preparedness for the imminent National and Regional Elections which, according to the statement, are most likely to be held in early

2015.

The Commission’s ability to effectively and efficiently administer and manage Local Government Elections after National and Regional Elections was also addressed.

Other matters addressed included GECOM’s Public Relations/Civic and Voter Education programme, and its impact on voters and the general public, as well as enhancing the voting process in Guyana, as the Commission aims to improve the processing and transmission of elections results.

GECOM Chairman Dr. Steve Surujbally expressed his gratitude towards the German delegation for its most perceptive queries, and urged its members to maintain a high level of interest in what obtains in Guyana, particularly regarding elections and their management.

Obama says Sony hack not an act of war

By Steve Holland and Doina Chiacu WASHINGTON,(Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama moved to prevent U.S. anger at North Korea from spiraling out of control yesterday by saying the massive hacking of Sony Pictures was not an act of war but instead was cybervandalism.

Washington’s longstanding dispute with North Korea, which for years has centered on its nuclear weapons program, has entered new territory with the accusation that Pyongyang carried out an assault on a major Hollywood entertainment company.

Obama and his advisers are weighing how to punish North Korea after the FBI concluded on Friday that Pyongyang was responsible.

North Korea has denied it was to blame.

The U.S. president put the hack in the context of a crime.

“No, I don’t think it was an act of war,” he told CNN’s “State of the Union” show that aired on Sunday.

“I think it was an act of cyber vandalism that was very costly, very expensive.

We take it very seriously.

We will respond proportionately.”

Obama said one option was to return North Korea to the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism, from which Pyongyang was removed six years ago.

North Korea vowed on

don’t think anybody knows quite yet.”

In the CNN interview, which was taped on Friday, Obama acknowledged that in a digitized world “both state and non-state actors are going to have the capacity to disrupt our lives in all sorts of ways.”

“We have to do a much better job of guarding against that. We have to treat it like we would treat, you know, the incidence of crime, you know, in our countries.”

Republican Senator John McCain disagreed with Obama, telling CNN the attack was the manifestation of a new kind of warfare.

Republican Representative Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, would not call the hacking an act of war.

But he did criticize Obama for embarking on a two-

week vacation in Hawaii on Friday without responding to the attack.

Rogers said on “Fox News Sunday” the United States had the capability to make it very hard for North Korea to launch another similar attack, but that Obama waited too long to act.

“You’ve just limited your ability to do something,” Rogers said. “I would argue you’re going to have to ramp up sanctions. It needs to be very serious. Remember - a nation-state was threatening violence.”

North Korea has been subject to U.S. sanctions for more than 50 years, but they have had little effect on its human rights policies or its development of nuclear weapons. Experts say the nation has become expert in hiding its often criminal money-raising activities,

largely avoiding traditional banks.

NORTH KOREA DENIES ATTACK It was the first time the United States had directly accused another country of a cyberattack of such magnitude on American soil and set up the possibility of a new confrontation between Washington and Pyongyang.

North Korea said on Saturday it was not involved in the Sony attack and could prove it. Pyongyang said it wanted a joint investigation into the incident with the United States.

Obama says North Korea appeared to have acted alone. Washington began consultations with Japan, China, South Korea, Russia, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, seeking their assistance in reining in North Korea.

Grand juries reviewed both cases but found that the officers involved broke no laws, decisions that sparked weeks of sometimes violent protests across the United

States, particularly in New York, the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Missouri, and Berkeley, California.

The decisions and subsequent protests prompted Barack Obama, the first black U.S. president, to set up a task force last week charged with rebuilding trust between police and minority communities.

PM Anthony responds to threats from irate young people CASTRIES, St. Lucia, (CMC) - Prime Minister Dr.Kenny Anthony has responded to reports that jobless and frustrated young people are entertaining thoughts of killing him.

The matter was brought to light during a television show, hosted by newspaper publisher Rick Wayne.

Anthony in television interview Friday, said it was not unusual for a Prime Minister to receive threats, but observed that it was not often that such statements are made publicly.

“In these islands we treat these things lightly, but we don’t understand that times have changed,” Anthony told his audience.

“Clearly, when the statements were made the best thing was to have said to the young man was that’s not the way to deal with those issues and resolve them,” the Prime Minister stated.

Anthony noted that Lashawn Lambert, who made the complaint during the television programme, while complaining on behalf of others, was himself employed, so that the issue was not the same for him.

The Prime Minister recalled that when Stephenson King was Prime Minister, someone was killed in King’s constituency office in La Clery, just over four years ago.

“That really was to all intents and purposes,

Prime Minister Dr. Kenny Anthony a warning of what could persons orchestrating and happen to any MP or Prime encouraging this kind of beMinister, so we need to take haviour,” Anthony said. these issues seriously and Asked whether he felt get a sense of who are the personally threatened, An-

thony, who is also the Member of Parliament for Vieux Fort South said it was part of the “hazard of the business.”

However he revealed that his family and officials of his ruling party were concerned.

Anthony also disclosed that he was disappointed in the reaction of leader of the main opposition United Workers Party (UWP), Allen Chastanet and his party, whom he accused of being “apologists” for anti social behavior.

In a statement this week Chastanet, accused the government of overreacting to reports that young people,

frustrated by the economic situation, were entertaining the idea of killing the Prime Minister.

He said that while he considered it an extremely serious matter, he did not think that when the young man made the claims, he was threatening the Prime Minister.

“I think he was crying out to the young people who are being marginalised and have lost hope,” the UWP leader asserted.

According to Chastanet, one would have hoped that the government would have reacted “accordingly” and

actively reached out to all the young people in St Lucia.

He said he had hoped that the Ministries of Youth and Economic Affairs would have gotten together on a programme to bring relief to young people.

Chastanet said that the unemployment rate has risen almost five percent since the St Lucia Labour Party (SLP) got into office, with the unemployment figure for young people being some 44 percent.

“That to my mind is what the government should have been reacting to,” he said.

Five CARICOM countries eligible to participate in US work programmes WASHINGTON (CMC) – The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the US Department of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Department of State, have announced that five Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries

are eligible to participate in the H-2A and H-2B visa programmes for the coming year.

The US agencies said Barbados, Belize, Grenada, Haiti and Jamaica will participate in the H-2A and H-2B Visa programmes that allow US employers to bring foreign nationals

to the United States to fill temporary agricultural and non-agricultural jobs.

The Dominican Republic is the other Caribbean country on the list.

The Czech Republic, Denmark, Madagascar, Portugal and Sweden have also been added to the list of countries whose nationals

are eligible to participate in the programmes in the New Year.

USCIS said it only approves H-2A and H-2B petitions for nationals of countries the Secretary of Homeland Security has designated as eligible to participate in the programs.

USCIS said it may ap-

prove H-2A and H-2B petitions for nationals of countries not on the list “if it is determined to be in the interest of the United States.”

Effective January 18, 2015, nationals of the 68 countries are eligible to participate in the H-2A a n d H - 2 B Vi s a p r o grammes.

GUYANA

The spirit and heart of Christmas THE spirit of Christmas is encapsulated in all that is representative of the Christ Child, and all the promise of His sacrifice for the salvation of the human race.

However, the heart of Christmas lies not in the lavish shopping sprees, the cleaning and decorating, the feasts and sporting. The heart of Christmas is emblazoned with the joy occasioned by the sharing and the giving, especially to the less fortunate and the vulnerable in society.

Giving to one’s loved ones is a continuum throughout lifetimes; but the pleasure of receiving that one token at Christmas from that beloved and probably revered person is a special joy.

Then there are the business houses and the organisations that donate to charitable organisations for purposes of publicity and good public relations.

Their agendas are mainly business-oriented.

However, there are the real givers; those who give from the heart; those who give out of care and compassion for their fellow humans, especially the less fortunate; those who are charitable without denigrating the dignity or degrading the pride of the recipient of their beneficence.

The givers who retain their simplicity and remain grounded to their roots, never forgetting their origins no matter to what heights they climb; givers such

as Father of the Nation, Dr. Cheddi Jagan; Mr. and Mrs. Sattaur and Ameena Gafoor; Mr. and Mrs. Bish and Ahilia Panday; and a multidude of amazing human beings scattered across the globe, down the corridors of history.

These exceptional members of the human race do their good works without fanfare; without limitations to time or date; without chaffing at the requests for help; without letting betrayals by fellow humans, even those they have helped along the way, impede their generosity and giving nature.

They not only give of their material resources, but they also give of themselves and their time, which is more

valuable, because of busy schedules and constraints.

As long as the family of Mankind continues to be blessed with the Cheddi Jagans, the Mother Teresas, the Oprahs, the Lady Dianas, and the Gafoors and Pandays, the spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ will forever prevail on Planet Earth.

May the spirit of Christmas pervade the heart of Mankind to generate a truly new dispensation to provide equitable opportunities and justice for every member of the human race in this global village, as adumbrated by Dr. Cheddi Jagan’s United Nations-adopted ‘New Global Human Order.’

We can get there! All we need is a change of attitude!

––Join me, Joseph Harmon and David Granger!

PLEASE allow me to respond to the article entitled “Opposition urge PM to retract plain stupid statements on electricity theft”, which appeared in the Thursday, December 18, 2014 edition of the Stabroek News.

I was addressing the issue of electricity theft at the ceremony marking the end of the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) Inc.’s Transmission Upgrade Programme, in light of my colleague Member of Parliament (MP), A Partnership for National Unity (APNU)’s Joseph Harmon’s call to “Find ways to reduce (electricity) tariffs – get off Guyanese backs”, and the ongoing considerations at GPL Inc., with various multilateral consultants, which could see GPL Inc. reaching for technological solutions that could add, eventually, up to US$200M in investments in our distribution networks and metering (and about 10% in electricity billings) for the most extreme technological solutions to

counter what is largely a historical culture of electricity theft.

I am concerned that without the attendant cultural change, those investments would bring us little; with the cultural change, much less would be needed to be invested. But we cannot stand still and do nothing, for we are at a critical point.

We in Guyana need to review our views and attitudes toward electricity prices. We Guyanese find it hard to accept that our electricity prices are at par with our circumstances. But do not take my word! Earlier this year, the President of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) informed us that in Caribbean countries, where electricity generation is based on petroleum products, the cost of generation and delivery run to between US30 and 40 cents (G$63. to G$84.) per kWh. He called for “bold and brave steps toward renewable energies -- Photo-Voltaic (PV), Solar, Wind, Hydro and

Geo-thermal.

And where are we in Guyana? During last week, at a public presentation on a goldmine being built in Guyana, it was disclosed, on enquiry of the officials, that their electricity cost is being put at US33 cents per kWh. This company would have made use of the best expertise and experience available, and would have considered the potentially lower cost of heavy fuel oil (HFO); and I am also aware that they commissioned two preliminary studies of hydro-power generation at Oko Falls, a few kilometres upstream of the Cuyuni River.

A number of important points should be recognised in this disclosure. Firstly, the gold company -- a competent company -- has come up with a self-generation solution at US33 cents/kWh; this would not be an easy number to better. Secondly, no doubt, they, like all of us, would have been happy to have had a ‘Trinidad

situation’ of, say, US5 cents per kWh for generation. But they are not in Trinidad; they are in Guyana, and they have accepted the 33 cents per kWh, and are going ahead with their project on that basis. Of course, they would always be keeping an eye out for, encourage, and test any emerging opportunity for, lower costs.

And where are we in GPL Inc.? Taking account of the different, longer-term mandate of a utility, our new generators have been HFO-fuelled, so that today, GPL Inc.’s generation is 85-90% based on the lower-cost HFO, giving a comparable all-in generation-costs of about U.S.24 cents (G$50.40) per kWh, compared with U.S.33 cents (G$69.30).

What I am embarrassed about (in the Guyana circumstance) is not generation, but our losses, up to 45% ten years ago, and earlier. Reduction See page 7

Granger’s assessment of the President is immature

THE assessment of the performance of the Donald Ramotar-led administration by Leader of the Opposition, Brigadier (rtd) David Granger as a failure is intriguing; but when compared to his assessment of his own leadership, it seems most comical and immature.

President Ramotar has been the first President of Guyana to lead a Government that did not have control of the House. And he’s doing it in one of the most politically volatile and hostile periods in Guyana; yet he has managed to maintain stability.

A reflection on the last three years would recall the major humbug in development projects being the difficulty in having the funds approved by the National Assembly. A government needs to be able to plan in the long-term for

developmental projects. The fact that the Donald Ramotar-led Government succeeded in having three Budgets approved, albeit vastly altered, and still was able to maintain economic stability and growth and a stable industrial climate is commendable, given the fact that the Budget cuts not only threatened jobs but also reduced spending.

Granger’s assessment of his tenure as Leader of the Opposition as excellent and splendid exposes his political immaturity; he is still grappling with challenges to his leadership within his Party. Let’s not forget his recent re-election to the leadership which was fraught with criticism of the process being flawed.

He has alienated all others who have shared a view that differs from his.

Within the National Assembly, the

smaller of the two parties has shown more leadership.

He has failed to earn the respect of that smaller party, to the extent that it is now proposing to lead an alliance of its own, and has invited the APNU to join it. His inability as a leader was further exposed with the Linden Electricity issue, and the resultant fallout between the Linden faction and the Granger faction that was further exposed at the last Party congress.

Had it not been for the media that are friendly with his coalition Party and their vigorous opposition of the Government, the abysmal failure of the coalition and Granger as a leader would have been exposed, thereby leading to a crumbling of the APNU. So, what exactly did Granger achieve as Leader of the Opposition? Budget

cuts which hindered progress, and led to many of the nation’s youth being out of jobs. Funding for developmental projects not being approved, again leading to reduced job opportunities.

His inhumane and dictatorial handling of his fellow Members of Parliament to achieve his political sabotage. The one area in which he has excelled is hampering the development of the economy.

Had it not been for his support of an unfair and unjustified action, there would be have been no need for the resultant action by President Ramotar. History will record the quality of leadership shown by the President in this new era of political development in Guyana. It will also record the action of others that have hampered our development over the last three years.

We can get there! All we need is a change ...

From page 6

seems to have stalled a year ago, at about 30-to-31%; about 14% technical, and 16% non-technical. The costs of generation have to be recovered against billings, so the generation component in billing cost is magnified by the losses to U.S.24 cents divided by (100% minus 30%) = U.S.34.30 cents (G$72.00) per kWh. Allowing for, and including, transmission and distribution, as well as commercialisation costs, the average total costs of providing electricity is about G$85. per kWh. And what is GPL Inc.’s average charge? G$67.20 per kWh. Government, on the average, by a variety of mechanisms, has been subsidising electricity costs by about 20%. No one is on the back of any Guyanese!

Indeed, Guyanese enjoy an average of 20% ‘ease’.

A network could not run without some technical losses; the not-so-longterm target for GPL Inc. is ‘total loss of 8%’ , 5% technical, and 3% non-technical. With this target, the generation component in billing would have been U.S. cents 24/0.92 – U.S.26.09 cents, or G$54.78, per kWh, a potential reduction of G$17.22 per kWh, in reducing losses to the respectable target-value.

We are known, embarrassingly so, as a country with high electricity losses - 14% technical, 16% non-technical - as stated earlier. I can bear the embarrassment of

the high technical losses; it reflects that we have been doing the best we could with the money and other resources that we had. We have been extending electricity to, say, 100 Guyanese households, with resources which better-heeled utilities would have extended electricity to only 50 customers. To get down to 5% technical losses, from 14%, we roughly have to double-up our distribution networks (doubling the number of conductors, or sizes of conductors, and transformers). GPL Inc. is getting on with this!

It is the embarrassment of the non-technical losses that I cannot bear. The non-technical losses need, most of all, a ‘culture change’.

Barbados boasts a total loss of 6%-to-8%, with no more than 1%-to-2% non-technical.

We should be able to match, and even better, the Bajans. In the course of GPL Inc.’s work with multilaterals and consultants, meters and metering systems advocated to be impregnable were implemented, but these have brought little improvements, as ways were found to defeat them, often, it would appear, with the connivance of knowledgeable persons, including past and present GPL Inc. employees.

In the course of studies, with consultants, of the losses, GPL Inc., about a year ago, disaggregated the average losses to its 39 feeders across the entire country. This table was presented to Sectoral Committees of Parliament in late 2013 and early

2014. The disaggregation shows up variations of the average losses on each feeder – some are low, at total losses of 10-to-12%, and some are large, the largest being feeder SF5 (south and west of Georgetown) with a total of 60% loss - 20% technical, 40% non-technical. No doubt, if we could disaggregate to smaller areas, we would find even wider variations in “losses”. The implication in smart metering proposal, is disaggregation, down to each transformer with its, say, 20 customers.

We know that, in every location, there are people who do not engage in, or allow, any tampering with their meters; GPL Inc. wants, and needs, everyone to get that way. We can readily recognise how we arrived at the cultural position at which we are today: Our history of being victims and being imposed upon, and hitting back whichever way we could.

The President of the CDB has been urging Caribbean leaders to urgently consider ‘renewables’. We have been pursuing the development of Amaila Falls for some 10 years now, following in the footsteps of the Government of the early 1970s. With an average generation cost delivered at Sophia of U.S.10 cents/per kWh over the 20-year BOOT (and US3 cents per kWh, thereafter), total losses reduced to 8%, and retaining G$13 per kWh for transmission, distribution and commercialisation costs,

we could see average total cost of about G$36 (U.S.17.2 cents) per kWh. We can get there! Joseph Harmon and David Granger should join with me to get there! Let us embark on Amaila! Let us challenge our Guyanese people to do even better than the Bajans, in this matter of non-technical electricity losses.

We need new attitudes today, in our 49th year of independence. Responsible leaders must lead their people in ways of doing right, and in attitudes that lead to success. Statements like those attributed to Mr. Harmon, wittingly or unwittingly, provide ‘cover’, or, worse, may be understood to be subtle encouragement to electricity theft, and there is no basis for his statement. My statements were building soundly, for ourselves, a steadily prosperous life in the not-too-distant future.

I call on my Parliamentary colleagues, Mr. Harmon and Mr. Granger, and, indeed, all MPs, to study the published table and join me in working to reduce electricity-losses. Let us spread faith that through our honest, earnest and hard work, and through thoughtful, thrifty living, we shall reduce electricity-losses. Based on facts, there was no question of race!

Santa Rosa fun-day takes Minister Sukhai down memory lane

––t’was ‘a great community event’, she said

A FUN-day held at the Santa Rosa Parish, in Region One (Barima-Waini) on Saturday was a “great community event,” according to Minister of Amerindian Affairs, Ms Pauline Sukhai.

Minister Sukhai, a team from the Amerindian Affairs Ministry and the villagers who attended the event had the chance to enjoy a fun-day, which included a food and clothes sale and novelty games for prices. The activity was held to raise funds in aid of the restoration of the church.

Minister Sukhai, whose visit was also in response to the Parish’s request for toys for the children in the community,

said that it was heartening to see so many gathered for the event.

The Minister noted that it is always important that every member of a community seeks to contribute and support the various levels of activities in their community, be it a religious or a sporting event.

“Your community belongs to you; you are part and parcel of your community, and whatever is your community’s image, it is a reflection of you the people,” she told residents at the funday, adding that the success of every event in the village will be as a result of the villagers’ contribution.(GINA)

T h e s e n i o r s ’ social started at 12:00 hours and ended at 14:00 hours, after which the children’s party began at 14:00 hours and finished much later than 16:00 hours.

Present and mingling with the crowd was Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, who helped with the distribution of sumptuous meals and beverages to the elderly and children, and said he was very pleased to be at the event.

He told this publication that it is a good exercise to have at this time of the year, and that the children and senior folks were feted while being entertained by a popular musical sound system.

The Prime Minister added that it’s the season to share with the less fortunate, and the season preserves the good tradition of caring and sharing with others, since in life we all experience misfortune that causes us to be sad, and some will be less than happy. As such, he said, we have to comfort those in need.

He added that the

occasion has seen an improved turnout of children this year, and he said he was happy to be there to serve the children.

The large group of children took some time out to socialise with each other in a friendly game of football when a beach ball was somehow obtained.

Permanent Secretary of the Local Government and Regional Development Ministry, Collin Croal, told the Guyana Chronicle that the PPP Group has, for the past decade and a half, been hosting Christmas parties for children, and 400 were catered for this year.

Reflecting on the work of the late Dr. and Mrs. Jagan, past presidents of Guyana, who had been among the founding members of the Bel Air/Prashad Nagar PPP Group, Croal said the group has since outgrown the space at the heritage home of the late Jagans, and has decided to host the event at Bel Voir Court Ground, Bel Air (Opposite Indian Cultural Centre).

Croal explained that the

location has been used to host barbeque and other fund-raising events for the Group, and it was most fitting for the occasion yesterday, since the turnout was large.

He thanked the Beharry Group of Companies, Namilco, Dyna’s Embroidery and Food for the Poor for their tangible contribution, and disclosed that the senior citizens were each presented with a hamper of groceries while the children were gifted modern day toys for both boys and girls.

He acknowledged the timely contributions of several companies, including Jagmohan Construction, Puran Brothers, Pomeroon Oil Mill, China Trading, Survival Supermarket and Radio’s Needy Children’s Fund.

Croal told this publication that the Bel Air/Prashad Nagar PPP Group comprises of more than 25 members, of which about 10 were in attendance at yesterday’s gathering. (Michel Outridge)

‘Roraima Airways’ throws annual Christmas Party – for children of Santa Mission

A new take on ‘blind man’s buff’

RORAIMA Airways held its annual Christmas Party for the children of Santa Mission on Saturday last.

The event was held this year at the Arrow Point Nature Resort, where children were not only greeted and given presents by Santa Claus, but also enjoyed a number of activities, and treated to Christmas lunch with Santa.

According to Gerry Gou-

It’s fun-and-games time with Santa Claus

veia Jnr., one of the directors of Roraima Airways, this yearly event, ongoing for approximately 20 years, targets the children of Santa Mission because it’s the largest community in which the company carries out its operations.

More than 50 children were present at the party last Saturday, and the junior Gerry Gouveia noted that

The children join Santa for a photo ‘op’

the party is held for all the children of the community, so that no one misses out on the fun experiences.

Upon arrival at Arrow Point, the children sang a Christmas song for the staffers of Roraima Airways, after which they went on a hunt to find Santa, as they do every year.

After finding Santa, the children were presented with

gifts, and participated in a number of activities before having lunch with Santa Claus.

The young Gouveia said it is important for the company to give back to the community and, most of all, the children, because it is a joy for the company to be able to put smiles on faces of numerous children every year.

Paradise pump up and running - to be commissioned in early 2015

THE Paradise pump is one of the new pumps that the Ministry of Agriculture added to boost drainage capacity in 2014. It has a pump capacity of 200 cuft/sec, and is of benefit to 4500 acres of land, both residential and agricultural.

Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy, who visited the pump station, on the East Coast of Demerara on Friday, in the company of Chief Executive Officer of the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) Lionel Wordsworth, explained that though completed, the pump has not yet been commissioned. He said that thus far, the ministry has only had one occasion to use the pump, and that was a few weeks ago, when the country experienced about two to three days of heavy rains.

Minister Ramsammy noted that the amount of rain that was recorded in areas, (over 200mm in one 24-hour period, and in a three-day period more than 300mm of rain) in the past would have caused flooding that would have lasted for weeks. He pointed out that in this case, in about three to four days most of the villages were relieved from the flood and mainly for that reason that the pump was in operation.

The Paradise pump is among one of 14 that the ministry had started to put in place under the EXIM Bank of India, which has famously become known as the Surrendra pumps. “I still see in parts of the media confusion as to where are these pumps. Have they arrived in the country? And in the meanwhile, as far as I know, at least 10 of the 14 pumps have been installed and are in operation,� Minister Ramsammy said.

He explained that the ministry has not yet commissioned the Paradise pump too, because there is still some landscaping work that is being tied up but the pump is operational. Several other pumps are operational, but will be commissioned in 2015.

The contract for the Paradise pump station is valued $139M, while the pump itself was acquired at a The Paradise pump station cost of US$4M. (GINA)

‘Winners Cathedral’ puts smile on 300 young faces - at annual Christmas Party

YOUNG faces were aglow with ecstasy yesterday as the Winner’s Cathedral church extended Christmas cheer to children of Sophia, Agricola, North Ruimveldt, Lodge, Durban Backlands, and several other areas where the church has a ministry in teaching the Word of God. Head of the Church, Bishop Juan Edghill Snr., in an invited comment, explained that the annual event is intended to spread

Christmas cheer to children. Every Sunday, he said, the church reaches out to children in various communities represented at the party. The Christmas treat, Bishop Edghill said, is done the Sunday before Christmas every year.

Lunch was served to the children, after which they were surprised with presents which were distributed by Bishop Edghill.

“This was done with the support of the members and

Bishop Juan Edghill distributing presents to youngsters

friends of Winners Cathedral, and this is our way of showing appreciation to the children,” Bishop Edghill said, as he disclosed that close to three hundred children would have benefited from yesterday’s event.

As proceedings came to a close, it was evident that the Season’s spirit had consumed the young ones, who danced and sang happily before departing. (Ravin Singh)

At the December 13 ‘cluster’ meet in Lethem

‘Clean-Up-My-Country’ campaign goes to Region 9 - benefits Lethem and its environs A DECEMBER 13 cluster meeting between the Local Government and Regional Development Ministry (LGRD), the Ireng/Sawariwau Neighbourhood Democratic Council, and the Region 9 Administration has resulted in Lethem and its environs benefiting from the $1B Clean-Up-MyCountry Programme.

A team of 13 persons with a tractor and trailer from St. Ignatius village was, on Thursday, dispatched from the Ireng/ Sawariwau NDC to begin community clean-up works and removal of bulk waste in Industrial Site, Tabatinga, Bon Success, and Tabatinga Housing Scheme.

“The team began clearing the parapets of overgrown vegetation and removing roadside garbage along the Takutu Bridge to Customs Building, then to Tabatinga Bridge,” Regional Development Officer David Madramotoo, of the Local Government Ministry, said.

A statement from the Local Government Ministry on the progress of the works has expressed that Phases One and Two of the Lethem works have been completed on Thursday, while Friday saw the clean-up team working in the vicinity of the airstrip.

“People are appreciative of the programme, especially those who participated,” Ireng/Sawariwau Neighbourhood Democratic Council Works Committee Chairman Rodger King said, as he noted that sensitisation must be done through the NDC’s public meetings, held every three months. The aim of those meetings, he stated, would be to educate residents on the negative impact of littering on humans and the environment.

A primary goal of the clean-up works is to ensure that residents become involved in the process and are gainfully employed while doing so.

The Works Committee Chairman was pleased to note that 90 percent of the workforce comprises Amerindian women, who were bold enough to offer their services; and “the women are very happy to be a major part of the workforce, which gives them an opportunity to clean-up their communities,” he said.

“This income-earning opportunity gave the women an opportunity to generate income which will allow them to prepare their homes and families for the festive season of Christmas,” a statement from the Local Government Ministry has said.

Meanwhile, one member of the Rupununi Chamber of Commerce Inc. (RCCI) welcomed the initiative as “very timely, very good, and very commendable on the part of the Government of Guyana for considering Region No.9 under the Clean-Up My Country programme.”

Similar sentiments were expressed by Ms Clair Singh, Regional Executive Officer of that region, who said: “Since the community clean-up and bulk waste removal programme is free, it will give residents an opportunity to get rid of waste stored in their premises which harbour mosquitoes, rodents and reptiles.”

Singh explained that even though there is an annual cleanup exercise in the region, persons continue to dump refuse in open spaces, but in a discreet manner. She cautioned, “If anyone is caught dumping, he/she will be prosecuted”.

The REO is hopeful that after the national clean-up exercise has been completed in the region, “residents will keep their parapets and surroundings clean.” She also hopes that residents would utilise the contracted solid waste service provided by the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development Regional Solid Waste Programme.

The John Deere operator-training simulator

GUYANA CHRONICLE Monday December 22, 2014

Some of the Doosan equipment that the youths of Linden will be trained to operate

‘Farm Supplies’ to install

simulator at Linden Technical Institute - to help develop skilled labour for extractive industries

By Clifford Stanley LOCAL company, Farm Supplies Limited, has taken another initiative to develop skilled manpower in Guyana in adequate numbers, with respect to operating of heavyduty equipment.

The company last week acquired a training simulator, which would be given to the Linden Technical Institute (LTI) to be used in training Region 10 youths to operate heavyduty equipment used in the extractive industries of forestry and mining.

Farm Supplies is a family-owned business, which began operating in 1993 selling mechanised solutions in the form of equipment, maintaining a strategic inventory of spare parts, and providing technical services and training to keep its market for heavy-duty equipment produced by Doosan of South Korea.

Commenting on the support for LTI, Service Manager of Farm Supplies, Sarda Shew, said the company has recognised a shortage of skilled heavy duty equipment operators countrywide, and has accepted that the capacity to develop skilled manpower of good quality in adequate number was an essential requirement for promoting economic and industrial development.

The John Deere Operator Training Simulator, acquired at a cost of Gy$5.5M, will be located at the LTI in a room currently being refurbished by Farm Supplies. This equipment has been described as a cost-effective, safe, and efficient way to train new operators in a risk-free environment.

It has customer-driven training features for real-world situations such as jobsite hazards, safety violations, hand signals, equipment damage, budget-based scoring, and replica machine controls; and can be safely and effectively used to train operators while avoiding fuel costs, equipment damage, risks to personnel, machine downtime, weather restrictions and emissions.

The simulator training will help to build the proficiency and confidence necessary for operation, allowing a new operator to become familiar with the machine’s controls while gaining confidence needed before setting foot in a real machine.

The company has already done much work in enhancing the training capabilities of the technical institute to benefit students in heavy duty equipment operation, and had targeted the LTI for support, given that Lindeners additionally have a history of familiarization with heavy-duty equipment.

The LTI project is being co-ordinated by Schelte Vandijk of Farm Supplies, and the simulator would be installed at the LTI and be ready for use when that institution reopens after the Christmas holidays.

Farm Supplies’ Service Manager Ms Shew also disclosed that the company had recently repaired a Bobcat, a small excavator owned by the LTI which had been non-operational for several months.

This Bobcat will be pressed into service in the reenergized training programmes of the LTI for operation of heavy duty equipment.

Natural Resources Ministry takes ‘family festival’ to the National Park THE Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment’s Protected Areas Commission (PAC) held its first Christmas Family Festival and second Christmas Tree Light-up at the National Park on Friday evening, where families were treated to gifts from Santa and his faithful helpers.

Children also enjoyed face painting, pony rides, bouncy castle, trampoline, and other fun games at the event.

Subject Minister, Mr Robert Persaud, Commissioner of PAC, Mr Damian Fernandes and other members of staff were among per-

Aries - March 21 - April 19 Your focus shifts to career goals and ambitions. As Mercury enters Capricorn on Tuesday it brings an opportunity to network with the right people, get advice, update your resume, and prepare for interviews. You may grumble that you have to jump through hoops to get a job or impress a boss or superior. For now, though, find other ways to express your individuality rather than risk jeopardising your image. The New Moon in Capricorn is helpful for signing a contract or closing a deal.

Taurus - April 20 - May 20 You may be eager to expand your options through traditional means, such as a class or work experience. As this week's blend of energies focuses on Capricorn, perhaps you'll decide that you want more out of life. This dynamic setup encourages you to go for it. And there's more! A spicy link suggests a romantic liaison could get more passionate. Are you sure you want it? Sunday's New Moon can be helpful if you're going on a journey or beginning an exciting project.

Gemini - May 21 - June 21

Families receiving treats from Santa and his helpers Friday at the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment’s Protected Areas Commission’s Christmas Family Festival and Christmas Tree Light-up at the National Park

Go with your intuition early on and don't second-guess yourself. You got it right. A friend or partner wants to have some fun and you're their preferred companion. If it's a festive get-together, make the most of it. The focus then shifts to finances and resources. You'd be wise to compare prices before making up your mind about a purchase, especially if it's a big-ticket item. The New Moon can help if you want to reorganise your finances.

Cancer - June 22 - July 22 The continued presence of Mars in your zone of shared finances could encourage revisions in your investment strategy. This might involve working on home improvements or purchasing items that will gain in value. However, partnership issues also come to the fore with a chance to catch up and discuss plans. An intense encounter on Saturday may set you thinking, while the New Moon on Sunday could boost a new partnership or creative collaboration. Your social life sparkles, too!

Leo - July 23 - August 22 If you need help, don't be too proud to ask. Partnership interests are highlighted, and joining forces might be the way for you to accomplish more. You may be sharing exciting and fun times with a romantic tie. The focus gradually shifts to work and lifestyle issues. You may have to ignore a co-worker who seems jealous of your achievements.

Sunday's New Moon may help you kick-start a new diet or exercise routine that will help keep off the pounds Virgo - August 23 - September 22 Mars in Aquarius could be making you impatient, meaning you'll be dissatisfied with your progress. You like to do a good job, so it helps to be patient and take things in stride. As the focus shifts to your leisure and pleasure sector, you may start something creative and decide to take up a new hobby. Romance may beckon with a strong attraction showing up on Saturday. The New Moon on Sunday is excellent for a first date or new business.

sons who attended the event.

In brief remarks, Minister Persaud said the two-day event will give families and citizens of Guyana an opportunity to enjoy the National Park from another perspective.

With Christmas being a time of goodwill, Minister Persaud noted that the season is very special, especially for children, who look forward to gifts and goodies. He commended PAC for organising such an event.

Minister Persaud also told those gathered of the Three-Park Initiative that involves the full restoration of the National Park, the Zoological Park and the Botanical Gardens.

This initiative not only seeks to upgrade the parks at reference, but to also bring to the city the pristine environment that is enjoyed in the hinterland regions.

Sometimes romance can be heavenly, and this could be one of those weeks! If single, someone could catch your eye. If in a relationship, your partner may have plans that add a delightful quality to the coming days. You'll soon need to focus on getting things sorted at home in preparation for the holiday week. Make lists and get into action, but allow time to pamper yourself, too. Sunday's New Moon could coincide with a desire to remove clutter and get organised.

Scorpio - October 23 - November 21 You could go out with the intention of buying gifts for those closest to you and end up buying something awesome for yourself instead. If you're shopping for presents, have a goal and set limits to save time and money. As the focus shifts to Capricorn you may feel motivated to attend a class, lecture, or seminar that has the potential to help you achieve a goal. This week it's worth signing up for anything that can help you get ahead.

Sagittarius - November 22 - December 20 Don't take on more than you can handle or promise more than you can deliver early on. If you have a lot to accomplish, be realistic. As Mercury and the Sun ease into Capricorn you'll find it easier to set limits and be practical, especially where finances are concerned. The weekend could bring a desire to splurge that requires careful handling. Perhaps it would be best to shop with a friend! Later, a romance may show signs of heating up when Uranus turns direct.

Capricorn - December 21 - January 19 You'll be busy, so take time to rest and relax. Watch your dreams, too, as one of them could have special guidance for you. Mercury shifts into your sign on Tuesday, encouraging you to research ideas and share. It's time to take your personal plans seriously.

Watch a desire to splurge on Saturday. An impulse buy may seem like a great idea until you realise it was a waste of money. The New Moon in Capricorn is helpful for initiating action and change.

Aquarius - January 20 - February 18 You seem to be full of energy and ready to party early in the week. However, the focus gradually shifts to your spiritual sector, encouraging you to kick back and relax.

If you've been socialising, you may feel like taking a break anyway. This doesn't mean you'll stop altogether, just that it's time to slow down, review your priorities, and catch up with yourself. When Uranus turns direct on Sunday, you may find your connection with someone becomes less disruptive and more productive.

Pisces - February 19 - March 20 You've been busy pushing ahead with goals and plans, but once Mercury enters Capricorn on Tuesday it's time to enjoy festive get-togethers and kisses under the mistletoe. The focus then shifts to having fun, mingling, and generally enjoying life.

You'll be motivated to network with a view toward enhancing your business prospects.

Saturday could bring the option of a heady romance. Sunday's New Moon is excellent for moving in new circles or kick-starting a new liaison.

Peters called up as Roach ruled out of tour JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, Dec 21, CMC – Left-arm seamer Kenroy Peters has been confirmed as the replacement for the injured Kemar Roach, on the Test tour of South Africa.

A short release from the West Indies Cricket Board early Sunday said the 32-year-old had been called up for fast bowler Roach, who has been ruled out of the

remainder of the tour with an ankle injury.

Peters is a seasoned first class campaigner who topped the bowling charts with 40 scalps at an average of 12.75 apiece, in the regional fourday championship earlier this year.

He has already taken 13 wickets in four outings for Windward Islands Volcanoes in the WICB Professional Cricket League.

Overall, Peters has taken 190 wickets in 62 first class matches.

He joins a squad still smarting from an innings and 220-run defeat inside four days, in the opening Test in Centurion.

The second Test bowls off Boxing Day in Port Elizabeth.

Roach, meanwhile, will return home to continue his rehabilitation.

Den Amstel will now clash with Slingerz on Boxing Day (December 26) after the later had to turn to its captain to see them through.

Joseph, one of Guyana’s finest midfield players, hammered home a thunderous right foot volley at the top of 18-yards box that sailed to the top right hand corner of goal, beating a fully stretched Pouderoyen goal keeper.

Joseph’s goal came from a clearance by Pouderoyen’s keeper after Devon Millington had made his way into the penalty area and had tried, just like he did

all night, to punch his way to goal.

Called ‘FC Hollywood’, Slingerz will have a chance to add another

accolade to their already growing list while Den Amstel will seek to dethrone the proverbial champions.

keen on being involved in the tournament again.

“I have loved playing cricket in the West Indies throughout my career so I am really looking forward to having the opportunity to take part in the CPL in 2015,” said Jayawardene, who this month retired from international cricket.

Malinga added: “I really enjoyed my time in the CPL in 2013 and I am thrilled to be involved again for the 2015 edition. Caribbean fans are fantastic and it’s a pleasure to play cricket in that kind of atmosphere.”

Dilshan, who quit Test cricket last year to focus on the shorter formats, said: “CPL seems to be attracting some of the top names in the game so I am really looking forward to being involved again in 2015 and hope to make my mark on the tournament.”

The third edition of the Caribbean Premier League, labelled by organisers as the biggest party in sport, is set to bowl off in June next year.

Australia call up uncapped Burns for Boxing Day Test

SYDNEY, (Reuters) - Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of this week’s third Test against India in Melbourne with uncapped batsman Joe Burns coming into the 13-man squad to replace him.

Marsh pulled up with a hamstring problem on the opening day of the second Test in Brisbane, which Australia won by four wickets to take a 2-0 lead in the four-match series on Saturday.

B u r n s ’s i n c l u s i o n was the only change for the Boxing Day Test, which starts on Friday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and Marsh will remain with the squad to prepare for the final Test in Sydney.

Coach Darren Lehmann said Shane Watson’s performance with the ball,

Joe Burns hit 183 for Queensland in a Sheffield Shield match last month. if not the bat, in Brisbane had made it easier to go for a batsman in the shape of 25-year-old Burns, who hit 183 for Queensland in a Sheffield Shield match last

month.

“He’s a very good player against fast bowling,” Lehmann told reporters in Brisbane yesterday.

“His performances this year have been very good.

He’s a good young kid and a very aggressive player. His opportunity has come up and now he’s got to grab it.”

Opener David Warner was included in the squad despite injuring his thumb on Saturday and Lehmann was confident he would be fit to face India on Friday.

Fast bowler Ryan Harris has recovered from the thigh strain which ruled him out of the Brisbane test and will be in contention for a return to the pace attack against India.

“Ryan bowled with Peter Siddle this morning, they were fine, that’s a pleasing thing for us,” Lehmann added.

“We’ll have to make a call on the team closer to Boxing Day.” Steve Smith will continue to captain the side in place of the injured Michael

FIFA official says England had best bid for 2018 World Cup LONDON, (Reuters) England’s failed bid to host the 2018 World Cup “was by far the strongest contender”, FIFA official Harold Mayne-Nicholls was quoted as saying yesterday.

“How could England have only got two votes? It was a big surprise,” MayneNicholls was quoted as saying in The Sunday Times.

The 53-year-old, a former Chilean football federation president, was chairman of a FIFA group tasked with assessing the strength and feasibility of the various bids for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup finals.

Having visited all 11 countries bidding, MayneNicholls concluded that England had the best infrastructure and public involvement, crucial facets of any successful bid.

The bid, however, received just two votes from a possible 22 with Russia winning the right to host the 2018 tournament. Qatar secured the 2022 Cup.

Head of the FIFA Inspection Group Harold Mayne-Nicholls speaks to the media during a soccer World Cup 2018 bid event at Manchester Central, northern England

“England were on the top. They had the best concept, the best infrastructure and the people were very much involved,” said Mayne-Nicholls.

“I was there and I saw the faces of Prince William and (David) Beckham, and

they were shocked. It’s like when you are a first division team and you play a third division team and you lose by five goals.”

Mayne-Nicholls has previously raised concerns about Qatar, whose bid was the only one labelled as

high risk by the evaluation committee due to the searing heat.

He again questioned the logistical issues raised by hosting the tournament in one city and said the transport and infrastructure would not be able to cope with the deluge of fans flocking to the tournament.

“It is a real possibility that lots of people cannot get to the games,” MayneNicholls.

On Friday, FIFA president Sepp Blatter announced the world body would publish, “in an appropriate form”, a 430-page report compiled by former ethics investigator Michael Garcia which explored claims of bribery in the bidding process.

Mayne-Nicholls said last month he would decide in the New Year whether to stand for FIFA presidency against Blatter. FIFA rules prevent campaigning before Jan. 29 with the election set for May 29.

Clarke with experienced wicketkeeper Brad Haddin continuing as vice captain despite a poor run of form with the bat.

“We need Brad to make runs, he knows that,” Lehmann added. “He’s been working really hard behind the scenes and he’ll be disappointed with a couple of test matches so far.

“He does offer a lot behind the scenes, which we

love, and his keeping has been exceptional. But, still, he’s got to make some runs.

You can’t have your number seven not making runs.”

Squad: David Warner, Chris Rogers, Shane Watson, Steve Smith (captain), Shaun Marsh, Joe Burns, Brad Haddin, Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood, Ryan Harris, Peter Siddle.

Afridi to retire from ODIs after World Cup KARACHI. (Reuters) - Pakistan’s experienced all-rounder Shahid Afridi has announced his retirement from one-day internationals after next year’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

Afridi told a news conference on Sunday that after the World Cup, which starts on Feb. 14, he will focus on T20 matches leading up to the T20 World Cup in India in 2016.

Afridi has been named captain of the national T20 side by the Pakistan Cricket Board.

“I am the first Pakistan player to be able to announce his retirement properly and on a high. I always wanted to do this having seen the problems faced by other bigger players in the past,” he said.

“I have informed the Pakistan team management about my decision but not the cricket board as yet. I want to go out of ODIs with self-respect and with my fans wanting more from me,” he added.

Afridi, 34, has played 389 one-day internationals plus 27 Tests and 77 T20 matches for Pakistan.

He held the ODI record for the fastest century, set in 1996 against Sri Lanka, until New Zealand’s Corey Anderson bettered it this year.

Afridi who is close to completing 400 wickets and 8000 runs in ODIs, having taken 391 wickets and scored 7870 runs so far, said he was hopeful he will be able to reach this landmark in the World Cup. “Having taken a decision it is a big burden off my mind and I am confident I will be able to focus on giving my best in the World Cup,” said the colourful all-rounder.

Known for his run-ins with the establishment and his outspoken comments on Pakistan cricket, Afridi retired from test matches during the series against Australia in England in 2010.

“It was not an easy decision to take and I think many of my seniors also found it difficult to go out at the right time . But no one is indispensable in cricket and I am sure sooner or later someone will take my place in ODIs as well,” he said.

No point sledging Aussies: Gavaskar ..Test legend cautions compatriots against getting into ‘verbal spats’ with Smith’s side

THEY fired up David Warner in Adelaide and motivated Mitchell Johnson in Brisbane, now former captain Sunil Gavaskar has implored India to stop the sledging.

Warner was recalled after being bowled off a noball in the first Test, then swapped barbs with the tourists en route to his second century in the match.

Johnson was given a loud welcome to the crease

by Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the second Test, but the fielders were more subdued after he clubbed 88 off 93 balls.

Opener Shikhar Dhawan also exchanged sharp words with Warner and Shane Watson when the teams walked off at lunch on day four.

India captain MS Dhoni was happy with his chirpy teammates.

“Because you want a bit of aggression in the game ... it brings a bit more entertainment for the spectators,” Dhoni said.

But Gavaskar, whose name jointly adorns the trophy the two sides are playing for, disagreed.

The former opener, who scored 10,122 Test runs,

suggested his old side reassess their verbal approach after going down 2-0 in the four-Test series.

“The Indians should not get into verbal spats with the Australians ... giving it back to Australians wasn’t such a smart idea,” Gavaskar told NDTV. “We in India, even in club level, are not used to chirping.

“But the Australians, from the very beginning, are getting into these situations regularly.

“It’s really water off a duck’s back to an Australian

if you have verbal spats with him.”

Gavaskar added that such run-ins would only serve as distractions for India.

“It will always stay in your mind, even if you are dishing it out,” he said.

“If it is staying at the back of your mind then it is counter-productive.

“I know we have talked about being aggressive but that is about aggressive intent.”

Gavaskar paid tribute to the way Australia “tempered the verbal spats in this series”.

“Especially after the

unfortunate Phil Hughes incident. I think there are trying to turn over a new leaf, and that’s how cricket should be played,” he said.

Gavaskar also critiqued Dhoni’s claim that

Kohli was not ready to bat on day four, when Dhawan retired hurt after being hit in the nets.

“Let’s not make that as an excuse,” he said.

No way back for Pietersen despite Cook sacking

(REUTERS) – ENGLAND cricket chiefs have moved quickly to make it clear that Alastair Cook’s dismissal as one-day captain has not opened the door for a return to international cricket for batsman Kevin Pietersen.

The South African-born maverick’s undermining of Cook was one of the reasons Pietersen was cast aside by England in January after England’s 5-0 defeat in the last Ashes series in Australia.

The swashbuckling stroke-maker has a much better relationship with

Kevin Pietersen middle-order batsman replaced Cook as captain Eoin Morgan, who has for the World Cup in Aus-

tralia and New Zealand early next year.

The 34-year-old batsman said earlier this month that he still had hopes of a recall but England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) managing director Paul Downton moved to quell any hopes of a comeback.

“We parted company with Kevin in January because throughout the ECB management, from the dressing room up to the board, it was felt that it was the right decision to go in a slightly different direction,” he told Britain’s Daily Telegraph.

“If anything more bridges have been burnt by Kevin’s book. There is no interest from our point of view in going backwards.

“We’ve got an exciting group of young players and Eoin’s excited to be working with those guys.

He wants to fulfil that team’s potential.”

Pietersen, a former ICC ODI player of the year, released a book in October which contained attacks on the national cricket board and several of his former team mates.

Head selector James Whitaker was even blunter.

“The ECB management made this decision in January and it is the same decision now,” he told the paper.

“There is no way that Kevin Pietersen will ever get back into an England team.”

Pietersen, who is in Australia playing Twenty20 cricket in the domestic Big Bash league, might draw some comfort from the fact that Whitaker backed Cook’s captaincy in September and Downton gave him another vote of confidence last week.

Rossouw gets South Africa Test call-up

Rilee Rossouw

CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - South Africa have called left-handed batsman Rilee Rossouw into their squad for the remaining two Tests against West Indies after wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock was ruled out through injury.

It means AB de Villiers will keep the gloves for the rest of the series, with the selectors having to decide

whether to play seven batsmen or an extra bowler for the second test.

The 25-year-old Rossouw, who has been battling with a finger injury for the last 10 days, has played nine one-day internationals and three Twenty20 matches, but is yet to represent his country in Tests.

He would vie with un-

capped Temba Bavuma for a place in the top seven if the Proteas decide to replace De Kock with a batsman, otherwise the less likely option is for left-arm spinner Robin Peterson to get the nod.

“The fact that he has recently represented the Proteas in both the limited overs formats means that he will integrate easily into the Proteas squad

system,” Cricket South Africa selection convener Andrew Hudson said in a media release yesterday.

South Africa won the first test in Pretoria by an innings and 220 runs. The second match starts on Friday in Port Elizabeth, with the final game in Cape Town from Jan. 2.

`Six Head’Lewis steps up training for Mullings FORMER world welterweight champion Andrew `Six Head’ Lewis yesterday put into overdrive preparation for his first fight in six years after sparring a total of eight rounds at the Forgotten Youth Foundation gym in Albouystown.

Lewis mixed gloves with amateur bantamweight champion Delon Charles, Dexter Gonsalves and Diwani Lampkin and later confessed that he is slowly chipping away at the ring rust.

“I did eight rounds today and it was cool. I have not been in the ring for years and it will take some time for me to get back to being the old Six Head,” the former WBA champion declared. He is expected back at the Keith Bazilio owned gym this afternoon, to continue sharpening skills for his upcoming ring date.

Lewis, known as `The Albouystown Cyclone’ won the WBA title in February 2001 with a seventh round stoppage of James Page.

His last fight was in October 2008 and ended in a split decision defeat to Howard Eastman.

Now aged 44, and coming out of years of inactivity, he is about to face Jamaican Sakima Mullings, who is 12 years his junior. The fight is scheduled for February 28. Mullings defeated four Guyanese fighters in the last three years prompting Lewis to step in to stop the “eye pass” “I think everything is coming around well. I have

a good team around me and I will be in good shape for the fight,” the former world champion added.

Lewis is being trained by Joseph Murray with assistance from Sebert Blake and Wincell Thomas.

Since 2011 Mullings has defeated Winston Pompey, Howard Eastman, Revlon Lake and Derrick Richmond.

The CABOFE and Jamaica welterweight champion has chalked up 18 fights during the time of Lewis’ inactivity.

Sammy, Pollard, Bravo axed in favour of untested trio ST JOHN’S, Antigua, (CMC) – Uncapped allrounder Jonathan Carter has received his maiden call-up while highly regarded all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite and seasoned campaigner Narsingh Deonarine have been recalled to the West Indies one-day squad to face South Africa.

All three players were named on Saturday in the 15-man squad to contest the five-match series in South Africa starting next month.

enced Dwayne Bravo after just 19 months in charge and also dropping him from the squad.

Big-hitter Kieron Pollard has also been dropped from the one-day squad.

He averages 25 from 91 matches.

“We have decided to introduce a few new players to the international stage and once they deliver the performances we are looking for we believe we have the right kind of foundation to take the game forward,” chief selector Clive Lloyd noted.

“We are in a situation where we want to go up the ladder in all three formats and aim to form teams which will take us there.”

Carter has campaigned extensively with the West Indies A team in recent years, and has been knocking at the door of the senior team for some time.

Brathwaite, meanwhile, who played one ODI and a Twenty20 for West Indies three years ago, has found his way back into the squad, after captaining the A team in recent series.

He is a powerful lower order batsman, can produce explosive spells with his lively pace, and is regarded as a future captain.

Narsingh Deonarine Deonarine, also called up on Saturday to replace the injured Assad Fudadin in the Test squad in South Africa, is back in the one-day set-up a year after playing the last of his 29 ODIs. The left-hander has been rewarded for his excellent form in the early rounds of the WICB Professional Cricket League, where he has amassed 306 runs at an average of 61 with two hundreds.

Fast bowler Kemar Roach’s ankle injury has ruled him out of the oneday line-up, with the WICB set to name his replacement shortly.

Former captain Sammy has also been dropped from the ODI squad but remains in charge of the Twenty20 unit which was also announced Saturday.

Notably missing are leg-

spinner Samuel Badree and left-arm seamer Krishmar Santokie, both of whom are injured.

“We have some very good cricketers, who have done very well in the T20 format. We will again be led

by Darren Sammy, who led us to a World Cup. He has been the leader for quite a while and I’m sure he will galvanize the players to look to win the series,” Lloyd said.

“We will be without Badree and Santokie, who have both been excellent in the bowling department for us, but we have again introduced some new faces and expect them to acquit themselves very well.”

Brathwaite and Holder have been included in the T20 squad along with Bravo and Pollard, with talismanic opener Chris Gayle also named subject to passing a fitness test.

The left-handed Gayle opted out of the current Test tour with a back injury.

Barbados off-spinner Ashley Nurse, meanwhile, has been called up three years after his only two T20s.

Champion off-spinner Sunil Narine, under international scrutiny over his action, has not been picked

Carlos Brathwaite in either squad.

West Indies face South Africa in three Twenty20s next month, prior to the start of the ODI series.

SQUADS: ODI – Jason Holder (Captain), Sulieman Benn, Carlos Brathwaite, Jonathan Carter, Sheldon Cottrell, Narsingh Deonarine, Leon Johnson, Chris Gayle, Denesh Ramdin, Andre Russell, Marlon Samuels, Lendl Simmons, Dwayne Smith, Jerome Taylor.

T20 – Darren Sammy (captain), Sulieman Benn, Carlos Brathwaite, Dwayne Bravo, Sheldon Cottrell, Andre Fletcher, Chris Gayle, Jason Holder, Ashley Nurse, Kieron Pollard, Denesh Ramdin, Andre Russell, Marlon Samuels, Lendl Simmons, Dwayne Smith.

Foo, Motie and La Fleur spur Titans to top prize

By Calvin Roberts HARD- hitting Jonathan Foo along with left arm spin twins in Gudakesh Motie-Kanhai and Eugene LaFleur, turned up trumps for Universal DVD Berbice Titans, who defeated Universal President’s XI by 29 runs to take the ninth annual Universal DVD Club and Universal Solutions anniversary T20 festival last Saturday.

Playing under the lights at the Albion Community Centre ground, after seeing Universal Warriors upset Universal Solutions Tigers to take third place, the Titans posted 128 for 3 off their 20 overs, after they won the toss and decided to bat first on a flat track.

Kandasammy Surujnarine topscored with 40 (3x4, 1x6) skipper Devendra Thakurdeen made 36 while Foo used 33 balls to score 35 (2x6, 1x4), after being given three lives, two of them in the penultimate over of the Titans’ innings.

In their turn at the wicket, President’s XI lost Brentnol Woolford and skipper Lloydel Lewis who were both dismissed without scoring to be 7 for 2, before LaFleur (2 for 14) and Motie-Kanhai combined to restrict them to 99 for 9, with the last man Suresh Dhanai being unable to bat for reasons unknown.

Surujnarine started positively in tandem with Joshua Ramsammy as his partner, by hitting Dhanai for 4, 4, and 6 in the third

over of the Titans’ innings to push the score to 25 before he lost Ramsammy who was run out for 10 at 45 for 1.

Kandasammy was next to go, bowled by West Berbice’s Andrew Dutchin for his 40 that was scored off 34 deliveries at 76 for 2, followed by Thakurdeen who was dismissed at 103, but not before he too was given a life twice by Dhanai and Manoj Looknauth in the 17th over bowled by Shiraz Ramcharran.

Looknauth had earlier grassed a skier from Foo at long off, when he looked to hit Dutchin out the ground shortly after Surujnarine was dismissed, with Foo being on 3 at the time of the chance and the Titans 82 for 2.

The usually aggressive Foo looked sedate and only opened his shoulders in the final over to score 14 of his runs, including a six off the penultimate ball of the innings, as Dutchin and Ramoo ended with 1 wicket each for 13 and 17 runs respectively.

National fast bowler Raun Johnson and Romario Shepherd bowled the power play overs for the Titans with pace and aggression when the President’s XI batted, removing Woolford and Lewis to short deliveries that the batsmen fended off to be caught close at the wicket.

Dutchin and Keon DeJesus repaired the early damage by adding 28 for the

third wicket, with DeJesus hitting Eon Hooper for four, before Dutchin was brilliantly stumped on the second attempt by Jason Sinclair off LaFleur.

DeJesus, who topscored with 35 (2x4) and Sherwin Murray (11) looked threatening during their 27 runs fourth wicket partnership, but with Albion being a spin friendly wicket and Thakurdeen offering Motie-Kanhai the ball in the 13th over, it was a matter of how soon the left hand spinner would strike on his home turf.

He was hit for four over extra cover by Murray, but rebounded to bowl the batsman with the final delivery of his first over, followed by the wicket of Ramcharran (03) in his next over, President’s XI 75 for 5.

When LaFleur knocked back DeJesus’ off-stump at 76 for 6, a wicket that was followed by Krisendat Ramoo (06) being run out by a direct hit from LaFleur and Motie-Kanhai’s removal of Looknauth (04), President’s XI were 82 for 8.

Linden Austin and Nicholas Cameron, who both made 8, looked to push their side past the 100 run mark, but Foo who was entrusted to bowl the final over, removed Austin who holed out to Ashkay Homraj at deep midwicket, leaving Cameron unbeaten at the other end.

In the third place encounter, Universal Warriors who were competing

This evenings’ first encounter pits Botofago

opening their campaign for supremacy when they face Peace Makers of Ituni at 19:00hrs (7pm), followed

by Eagles United playing their first game as well, this time against Blueberry Hill.

Peace Makers had to overcome Block 22 Flames to reach this far while Blueberry Hill took care of the challenge posed by Vasco to enter this stage of the competition which continues on Christmas Day, with Net

Rockers opposing Bakewell Topp XX in one fixture and Milerock opposing Hi-Stars in another.

Coach Julian Moore is at left (blue jersey). without appointed captain Royston Crandon batted first and scored 116 for 4, thanks to an unbeaten 33 from David Latchaya, 20 from Damion Vantull and 17 from Hakeem Hinds.

Steven Latcha was the best bowler for Universal Solutions Tigers with his 1 for 14, but when his side batted, their batting was decimated by former national Under-19 leg spinner Shawn Pereira snared 4 for 19 to bowl them out for 95 off 19.5 overs.

This was after they were coasting at 72 for 2, with skipper Anthony D’Andrade who topscored with 24 and Devon Clements 19 looking to steer

their side home, a feat they never achieved as Pereira destroyed their middle and lower order with ease.

The female exhibition contest which whetted the appetite of the spectators who were also entertained by the X-Factor Dance troupe, saw the Tremayne Smartt led Firebirds defeating Shemaine Campbell’s Mean Girls by nine wickets in a one sided affair.

Steffi Rodney took 2 for 12 for the Firebirds, who in reply reached 69 for 1 from 16.4 overs, led by an unbeaten 27 from Latoya Smith, who had earlier bowled two maiden overs in the Mean Girls’ innings and 25 from Melanie

Henry.

The individual awards for the day’s activities read: Man of the Match in the Finals-Foo, with Pereira taking the same accolades for the third place clash and Smith for the female encounter, while LaFleur was named Most Valuable Player, Foo-Best Batsman and Motie-Kanhai-Best Bowler.

For the win, the Titans took home $200,000 and a trophy, President’s XI $100,000 and trophy, while Universal Warriors and Universal Solutions Tigers received $50,000 each, with the Warriors being presented with the third place trophy.

Boxing great Muhammad Ali hospitalised with pneumonia (Reuters) - Boxing legend Muhammad Ali has been hospitalised with pneumonia and is expected to recover because the illness was caught early, a spokesman said on Saturday.

Ali, 72, was admitted to a hospital in an undisclosed location Saturday morning and is being treated by a team of doctors and remains in stable condition, spokesman Bob Gunnell said.

“Because the pneumonia was caught early,

Muhammad Ali his prognosis is good with a short hospital stay expected,” Gunnell said in a statement.

He declined to give any further details of the boxer’s

condition and said Ali’s family was asking for privacy.

The boxing great, who suffers from Parkinson’s disease, made a public appearance in September to attend a ceremony in Louisville, Kentucky, for the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Awards.

A three-time world heavyweight champion, Ali was diagnosed with Parkinson’s about three years after he retired from boxing in 1981.

WDFA VITA Malta/Aqua Mist tournament..

Slingerz FC and Den Amstel to clash in $1M final

Den Amstel goal scorers (L-R) Delon Lanferman, Travis Hilliman and Andre Hector.

By Rawle Toney SLINGERZ FC and Den Amstel will clash in the finals of the West Demerara Football Association (WDFA) Vita Malta/Aqua Mist Water Knock-out tournament, after securing wins in Saturday night’s

semi-finals.

Playing at the Den Amstel Community Centre Ground, the ‘West Side’ Champions, Slingerz, had to depend on captain Tishard Joseph to lead them past Pouderoyen 1 – 0, while Den Amstel would want to thank Uitvlugt’s lack of judgement

who forfeit their contest and lost 3 – 1.

It was half time in the Den Amstel/Uitvlugt encounter when one of the mobile lighting towers went out on the right side of the ground.

Technicians could not have remedy the lighting

failure which resulted in sections of the pitch being darkened; much to the dismay of the Uitvlugt players and its supporters who thought that the light wasn’t sufficient for the game to continue.

However, the officials reasoned the players (Uitvlugt) and its management that they (the referees) thought the venue had adequate light and as such, the game would continue.

Den Amstel had the advantage by being 3 – 1 up at the end of the first half and the referees cautioned Uitvlugt that should they refuse to play, they (referees) would be forced to hand Den Amstel, but, the players (Uitvlugt) went against the Referees’ will and walked off the playing area.

However, before the rather untoward ending to the game, fans witnessed 45 minutes of intense football by the two teams.

Travis Hillman sent Den Amstel into the lead just one minute into the contest

Sri Lankan superstars poised for CPL draft Lasith Malinga

CASTRIES, St Lucia, (CMC) – Sri Lankan superstars Mahela Jayawardene, Lasith Malinga and Tillakaratne Dilshan have been confirmed for the Caribbean Premier League (CPL)draft, set for early next year.

All three players have already had limited participation in the tournament but it will be first time they will be entering the draft to take up extended contracts.

The trio join South African all-rounder Jacques Kallis whose participation in the tournament was announced last week.

“Now that the CPL is well established among the cricket community, we have had huge interest from the top international players which bodes well for the future of the tournament,” said Tom Moody, the CPL International Cricket Director.

“The quality of cricket in 2014 was outstanding and we hope for more of that drama and action next year so being able to announce players like Malinga, Jaywardene and Dilshan is a great boost and a fantastic endorsement for CPL.” Jayawardene turned out for Red Steel in the latter stages of last year’s tournament while Malinga represented Guyana Amazon Warriors in the knock-out rounds of the inaugural competition.

Dilshan also did battle for Amazon Warriors as a replacement for Martin Guptill deep inside the tournament last year.
