CDB hosting three-day stakeholder forum … to create better working strategies for Caribbean Technological Consultancy Services

R E P R E S E N TAT I V E S from almost every Borrowing Member Country of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) will be participating in a stakeholders' forum to come up with better working strategies, over the next three days.

The event started yesterday at the Ramada Princess Hotel, East Bank Demerara.

In an overview of what the event will entail, Kenneth Harvey, CTCS Network Coordinator, said over the years the role of the CDB and the CTCS has changed, hence the need for new strategies.

Harvey pointed out that in the past CTCS was able to cater to the needs of a few countries.

However, with the CTCS now having a total of 19 countries, there arises the need for new strategies to better cater for the needs of individual countries.

“We always do our best if it means resource persons, training and other support. That worked well when we were servicing a few countries, but we now have 19 borrowing members, our latest being Suriname, we needed more staffing, the bank is evolving and has encouraged us to deal with other issues, core to the Bank’s agenda.”

Harvey said it is to this end that CTCS was forced to come up with a different

approach, and that is to deal with the member countries in a strategic way.

“At the beginning of each year, the lead Cooperating Institution in each country will assemble its people and identify some core activities that they can do under the CTCS programme in that given year or in a few years that will really impact on MSME in their respective countries.”

This Harvey said, will shorten planning time, and hasten implementation time for projects.

“So when we sit and prepare a country paper up to the tune of US$150,000, we can address all the issues in one go, that way once the

Caribbean Technological Consultancy Services Network Coordinator, Kenneth Harvey, addressing the participants at the stakeholders’ forum. document has been approved we can implement.”

Harvey, however, urged participants to be cognisant of the fact that the CDB does its work thoroughly, and carefully scrutinises each project that is presented to it.

“So we are saying let’s

go with that approach, in going towards that we see this is a golden opportunity to engage the local cooperating institution to be more involved in identifying and developing the activities in tune with what is the strategic focus

of the government of the day for MSME development.”

More importantly, Harvey said is to incorporate into their plans what Governments want the MSME to contribute to their national economy.

“You, the locals, will be called upon to be part and parcel of the preparation process, you will be required to identify what areas in the MSME sector requires urgent and significant attention and what would make tangible contribution to the development of the country.”

The CTCS Network is operated by the Private Sector Development Division of the CDB, in cooperation with Regional and National Institutions, laboratories, industrial enterprises and private consultants.

The CTCS Network also helps to solve planning and production problems quickly by providing Caribbean expertise at an affordable cost.

The CTCS Network has been assisting users in funding solutions to practical problems encountered in production enterprises, as well as in the hotel Industry.

Assistance is also provided for project implementation, training, computerization and in the development of business, technical and marketing plans.

Countries, which are a part of the CTCS Network, include Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Cayman Islands, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos Island.

Guyana’s referral to FATF a virtual certainty, says AG

By Vanessa Narine

its Action Plan including:

GUYANA’s team to the ongoing Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) plenary in Miami, United States of America, headed by Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, were engaged in meetings yesterday.

And the AG, last evening, told the Guyana Chronicle that Guyana is most likely to be referred to the international body, the Financial Action Task Force.

“From all indications, it does not look optimistic and Guyana’s referral to FATF by CFATF appears to be a virtual certainty,” he stressed.

Nandlall added that among the many issues raised during the meeting was the fact that 90 percent of the deficiencies in the local Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/ CFT) framework identified are legislative in nature.

1) fully criminalising money laundering and terrorist financing offences;

CFATF has stated that Guyana must therefore pass the relevant legislation and implement all the outstanding issues within

to approve and implement required legislative reforms,” the regional body said.

2) addressing all the requirements on beneficial ownership: 3) strengthening the requirements for suspicious transaction reporting, international co-operation, and the freezing and confiscation of terrorist assets; and 4) fully implementing the United Nations conventions.

T h e re g i o n a l b o d y blacklisted Guyana regionally last November at its 38th plenary meeting, issuing a missive which called for its members to “consider implementing counter measures to their financial systems from the ongoing money laundering and terrorist financing risks” emanating from Guyana.

“Guyana has made efforts to address its deficiencies, however, it has not taken sufficient steps towards improving its AML/CFT compliance regime by failing

Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall While Government contends that these deficiencies were wholly addressed in the AML/CFT Amendment Bill, it has still not received the support of the combined Opposition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance for Change (AFC), both of whom have attached conditions in exchange for their support.

APNU has proposed

three amendments that proffer a change to the entire governing apparatus of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU); removal of the Attorney General wherever that name appears and replacement of it with the FIU and vesting a Police or Customs Officer with the power to seize currency from any person, anywhere in Guyana, if those officers have reason to believe that it is the proceeds of crime or will be used to fund criminal activities.

The party is also calling for President Donald Ramotar to assent to Bills passed in the National Assembly, through the Opposition’s one-seat majority, but the Head of State has explained that they are unconstitutional.

The AFC, which has expressed support for APNU’s position, is demanding the establishment of the PPC (Public Procurement Commission), which Government

has agreed to, providing that Cabinet retains its no-objection role in the process; but the latter position has been rejected by the AFC. With neither of the two Parliamentary Opposition parties budging on their positions, the Attorney-General, on behalf of the Government, earlier this month forwarded counter-proposals in the interest of ensuring that the amendments made are CFATF compliant and to move towards a compromise.

FATF MEETING These counter-proposals are being considered by the Parliamentary Select Committee, which has been reviewing the AML/CFT Bill for more than 12 months and held its most recent meeting last Thursday, May 22.

If the Committee were to complete its work before

the next scheduled sitting of the National Assembly, June 19, the Financial Action Task Force’s next Plenary meeting is slated for June 23 to 25, 2014 in Paris, France.

The ongoing meeting of CFATF ends on Thursday, at which time a final decision can be taken to send Guyana to the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF), for review by the International Cooperation Review Group (ICRG).

If that is done, Guyana could face further sanctions, including being put on the international blacklist.

“Guyana should know its fate by Wednesday evening,” Nandlall said.

CFATF is an organisation of twenty-nine jurisdictions of the Caribbean Basin Region, which have agreed to implement the international standards for AML/CFT, as well as recommendations of the international body, FATF.

Thai coup leader threatens crackdown if protests resume (Reuters) - THAI coup leader General Prayuth Chan-ocha said on Monday he had been formally endorsed by the king as head of a military council that will run the country, and warned he would use force if political protests flare up again.

Prayuth seized power on May 22, saying the army would restore order after nearly seven months of sometimes deadly street demonstrations. The military has taken into custody scores of politicians, activists and others.

“Will we go back to where we were before? If you want to do that, I will need to use force and impose the law strictly,” Prayuth said in a statement he read on television. “You will have to forgive any tough measures as they are necessary.”

He did not set a timeframe for how long the army would stay in power, al-

But Prayuth’s address

though he said he hoped to hold elections soon.

The royal endorsement is a significant formality in Thailand, where the mon-

would have provoked conflicting reaction in a country polarized by nearly a decade of rivalry between the royalist establishment, of which

the form of a government that will run the country under his military junta, the National Council for Peace and Order.

“The country needs a prime minister,” he said.

The military ousted the remnants of a government that had been led by Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Thaksin’s sister, until she was removed by a court on May 7 for abuse of power.

Thaksin was ousted as premier in a 2006 coup.

The military has taken over with a heavy hand, throwing out the constitution, dissolving the Senate and censoring the media. Anyone who insults the monarchy or violates the military’s orders will be tried in a military court.

Despite warnings, small crowds of people voicing opposition to the coup have been gathering daily in

On Monday, several hundred people gathered at Bangkok’s Victory Monument where about 1,000 protesters massed on Sunday.

Some shouted “we want elections” and “coup get out”, others held up signs saying “we want democracy”, a Reuters reporter said.

Police and soldiers turned in force to block the protesters and there was jeering and some scuffles but no serious trouble. Soldiers in a van with a loudspeaker urged people not to join the protesters, saying they were being paid, and blamed foreign media for trying to damage the country.

PM humbled

…exclusive ‘Express’ poll shows approval rating rising to 48%

(Trinidad Express) PRIME MINISTER Kamla Persad-Bissessar said yesterday she was humbled by results of a poll which show her approval ratings have increased and promised that the people of this county can expect more to come from her Government.

An Express-commissioned poll conducted by Solution by Simulation found that, for the first time since 2011, more citizens of Trinidad and Tobago approve of the job Persad-Bissessar is doing, than those who do not.

The poll found that 48 per cent of respondents interviewed approve of the job Persad-Bissessar is doing as prime minister compared to 42 per cent who disapprove. Her approval rating is now 48 per cent compared to 37 per cent in 2013 and 38 per cent in 2012.

From May 12 to May 21, SBS interviewed 700 adults throughout the country via telephone calls. The margin of error for the overall sample is +/- 3.7 per cent.

Speaking to the Express yesterday, Persad-Bissessar said she was humbled by the poll findings and assured that she will continue to govern fearlessly and with the people always as her priority.

“It is with a deep sense of humility that I read of the increase in poll numbers attributed to the popularity of the work I do as Prime Minister.

If the poll means that work we are doing is satisfying a greater number of people, then I humbly embrace it all with gratitude. This is never about how well I do, but how much we satisfy the needs and meet the expectations of those who entrust us with that responsibility,” Persad-Bissessar said.

She said the People’s Partnership Government was elected on a groundswell of huge support arising out of a period of widespread dissatisfaction and so, much was expected from a population that had endured more than they should ever have been asked to bear.

“And against all odds we persevered to turn the economy around and invest in areas where it mattered most to people across the length and breadth of Trinidad and Tobago,” said Persad-Bissessar.

“But even as I am encouraged by the polls, we have only just begun our efforts. There is so much more to be done.

We have laid the groundwork,

now the country will witness an increase in the level of development and new initiatives that are unparalleled in any time of our nation’s history. And that ultimately will be the full measure of the job to which I dedicate myself completely in leading,” said Persad-Bissessar.

“It is said that when you seem down, the greatest comeback you can make is on your terms. If the polls are showing a renewed confidence in me, then it is an endorsement I accept with the greatest humility and inspiration. A politician’s life at any level is filled with ups and downs but longevity is ultimately sustained by the relationship with the people,” said Persad-Bissessar.

“I have worked for the people for 30 years, walked among them and listened

to them, when they said good, bad and yes, ugly.

And I have learnt that every message should be taken constructively. And so, I listened for the past four years and I acted as I always do, with faith, reflection, prayers and always in the best interest of the people who gave me that overwhelming, great privilege of the mandate to serve. But more than that I acted and continue to act in confidence that those decades of trust and service I built with the people of this country has engendered a special relationship and bond which can only grow stronger and I humbly believe that this is what has reflected in your polls,” the Prime Minister added.

Shaw pleads for the resumption of hanging

(Jamaica Gleaner) OPPOSITION Member of Parliament, Audley Shaw, is calling for the resumption of hanging in Jamaica, threatening a major debate with human rights advocates.

Shaw made the plea as he spoke yesterday in Manchester at the funeral of a woman and her two sons who were viciously murdered last month.

The lacerated bodies of 42-year-old Nadine Carridice, and her sons 16-year-old Joven Thomas and 11-year-old Roshane Ellis were found at their house on April 29.

Yesterday Shaw urged angry mourners not to pursue vigilantism.

However, he said the people should demand that

the Government resume the use of the death penalty, whether by hanging or lethal injection.

Anticipating the backlash from anti-death penalty advocates, Shaw said Jamaica must consider all possible solutions because of the high levels of crime and violence.

According to the United Nations, Jamaica has the sixth highest murder rate in the world.

Shaw says Jamaica must determine what it wants adding that human rights groups have pushed against the death penalty yet powerful countries such as the United States continue to use the measure.

Human rights group Amnesty International has said the death penalty is

nothing but a false promise when it comes to tackling crime.

However, Shaw stressed that capital punishment would only be one method used by the State to tackle crime and violence.

The Parliament voted in 2008 to retain the death penalty, although the country has not had an execution since 1988.

Jamaica’s efforts to carry out the death penalty have been affected by a Privy Council which says executions must be carried out within five years after being handed down.

This is because the judicial processes have rendered it almost impossible for Jamaica to meet the timeline.

Editiorial

Agriculture defines our patrimony and national identity AGRICULTURE is the binding force that, except for our indigenous community, impelled the importation to this country of practically all of our ancestors, either through slavery or indentureship; and this is the sector that, more than any other, is the main sustenance of our national economy.

In yesteryears, it was by collective efforts that our ancestors endured and prevailed through severely challenging circumstances; and this was the genesis of co-operatives in Guyana.

Government is seeking to revive this method of farming and recently it was reported that 64 farmers at Unity, in the Lower Pomeroon River, have formed themselves into a group with the objective of working together through the Guyana Agriculture Producers Association (GAPA) to put some 190 acres of virgin land under cultivation to boost production and contribute to the national ‘Grow More Food’ drive. The targeted acreage will

be divided into five-acre plots to benefit 38 families in the area who will each get one plot.

The Guyana Agricultural Producers’ Association known by its acronym, GAPA, is a nongovernmental and non-profit entity.

The GAPA secretariat is located at Brickdam, Georgetown, with chapters in all other regions.

The GAPA has been in existence since 1974. Established to serve the farming community, it became defunct shortly thereafter as farming became more of a challenge for lack of support from the then PNC Government, forcing the farming community to reduce the scale of its production because overheads and inputs became prohibitive and losses were excessively more than profits. However, the new PPP/C Government gave farmers hope once more and, slowly but surely, the agriculture sector was revived through a series of governmental interventions, especially in the vital areas of drainage and irrigation. The

GAPA was, as a consequence of the re-energised agri sector, reestablished in 2008 to better serve and provide for the non-traditional agricultural farmers in Guyana, including the hinterland areas through the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs.

GAPA has affiliations with the Ministry of Agriculture and its agencies, such as the National Agriculture Research Institute (NARI), Guyana Marketing Corporation (GMC), the Rural Enterprise and Agricultural Development Project (READ) and the Agricultural Diversification Project (ADP) as well as with other private sector agencies.

With its re-establishment, GAPA catalysed a dynamic thrust to advance the non-traditional agricultural farming sector, including smallscale producers, since this sector remains one of the pillars to ensure food security in Guyana and the Caribbean. This organization places specific emphasis in the areas of productivity, management, research, training and marketing information.

Former President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, under whose watch the ‘Grow More Food Campaign’ and ‘The Jagdeo Initiative on Agricul-

ture’ were launched, with one of the vital areas in which Guyana achieved the MDG’s being food security, stated at the launch of the second phase of the Grow More Food campaign at the Square of the Revolution that Guyana’s reputation as a net exporter of food and the most robust in terms of security is due to the keen interest of local farmers who have for years been dedicating their time and energy to the sector, which other countries seem to be treating with neglect.

He advocated that Guyanese “Grow more food in a climate smart way,” which was also the theme for second phase of the Grow More Food Campaign, which placed emphasis on enhancing the food production scale by focusing on climate adaptation farming methods, such as drip irrigation, and high-ground planting.

At that forum, the former Head of State assured that the agriculture sector will continue to benefit from Government’s support as it has been doing over the years, given its vitality to the local economy. He asserted “Agriculture cannot operate without adequate infrastructure and

that’s growing. Large government investments have been made in that sector and we will make sure that the policy environment and the incentives are constantly aligned to encourage production.”

Dr. Jagdeo had lamented the unwillingness of CARICOM states to expand their agriculture industries and ensure greater food security, thereby scaling down an overwhelming food import bill in the Region.

Similar sentiments were expressed by then Presidential Candidate and Adviser, and current President Donald Ramotar, who made reference to the anarchy in Tunisia that was sparked by a food shortage as he spoke of the worldwide challenge to achieve food security.

President Ramotar had promised continuity in governance because the policies of PPP/C Governments are based on successive PPP manifestos; hence this latest initiative to further advance and strengthen Guyana’s ‘Grow More Food Campaign’. It is, after all, the patrimony bequeathed on us all by the unrelenting efforts of our ancestors.

Twenty-two years of freedom FORTY-eight years ago, being 48 years old would have been considered as being old. But now 48 years after attaining independence, Guyana has been considered the shining star of the Caribbean and the best kept secret in South America by explorers of the free world.

With new developmental projects and international investors swarming this land of many waters consistently, Guyana has grown as a robust economy over the years, and is today still preserving our first leader’s legacy of being a free and multicultural country. “Onward, upward, May we ever go, day by day in strength and beauty grow,” indeed.

Guyana became an independent nation on Thursday, 26 May 1966, after years of

being a British colony that was ruled by the Queen of England. The dream of one day becoming an independent nation was not only the dream of our political leaders back then, but mostly the dream of our citizens. Numerous proposals were sent to the Queen requesting the right to make our own laws and the right to become a free nation, which eventually was granted to our citizens.

But although the British left Guyana, they still left behind numerous legacies such as their jurisprudence, some of their culture and even their native language, making Guyana the only Englishspeaking country in South America.

Guyana may be celebrating 48 years of being free from colonization, but many believe today that Guyana

is really and truly a little younger than half of those 48 years old. Guyana was reborn in 1992 after the PPP/C was elected as the ruling party of this great country. In 22 years of ruling Guyana, the PPP/C has transformed Guyana’s landscape tremendously and has injected growth in our nation’s economy. These changes have elevated us as one people and are today being enjoyed by both the old and the new generation of Guyanese citizens all across our land.

Dr. Cheddi Jagan always dreamt of a Guyana whereby one day classism would become an obsolete word, and the freedom to live a comfortable life would be the choice of our people.

Today, as a humble citizen of Guyana, I could say

that Dr. Jagan’s legacy and dreams are being preserved by the dedicated members of the PPP/C. I’m sure he’s smiling down on them all, very proud and very impressed as they continue to shape his dreams into reality. Guyana’s future is looking bright and promising; thanks to the PPP/C Government. Our kids will definitely inherit good morals, freedom, and most of all, a Guyana where classism doesn’t exist.

We as Guyanese citizens shouldn’t place, or even attempt to place, a blind eye to the fact that after becoming the ruling party in 1992, the PPP/C has allowed us to become independent individuals who can now afford to take care of ourselves, our families, and at the same

time, be free from dictatorship, authoritarianism, and autocratism as we experienced under the PNC government for decades.

Those gloomy days are far behind us, and whether

we’re celebrating 48years of independence or 22years of a being a new and improved Guyana, we are all One People, One Nation, (with) One Destiny.

Lancelot Adams

I hope Government officials recognize these facts GOVERNMENT officials must read what the Peeping Tom is saying, as many others have been saying for years now: People get disgusted every time Government takes their tax dollars and pumps it into City Hall to bail the thieves out.

Government must nev-

er again take the people’s tax dollars and hand it over to thieves.

It is a well-know fact that if Government cannot curb illegal vending and illegal squatting and get rid of those junkies from certain areas, nothing will change.

Bauxite union slams BCGI over “unsafe practices in mining activities” - following road accident involving 10 workers

IN the wake of the accident on the Kwakwani Road on Saturday, involving 10 workers attached to the Bauxite Company of Guyana Incorporated (BCGI/RUSAL), the union representing them has spoken out against what they described as “the company’s unsafe practices in mining activities.”

According to a press statement from the Guyana Bauxite & General Workers Union (GB&GWU), on the eve of Guyana’s 48th Independence, the nation is confronted with another accident by the foreign-managed BCGI/RUSAL. GB&GWU said: “This company, which the Government of Guyana has minority shareholding, is once again engaged in unsafe practices in the execution of its mining activities.”

It noted that the accident on 24th May involved a minibus transporting bauxite workers on a road that continues to see poor maintenance by the company. The accident resulted in injuries to the bauxite workers.

The release stated that BCGI continues to get away with bad corporate practices and disrespect for the Laws of Guyana because the government is uncaring and disrespecting of the category of workers employed by BCGI. The union said that the 2012 ruling of the High Court is yet to be respected by the Minister of Labour in the form of reissuing letters to commence compulsory arbitration proceedings. The situation is made worse by an Opposition that prefers to turn the other way as one section of this society, its constituents, continues to be

violated and abused by the government and BCGI. The accident occurred in a company-assigned vehicle, on a company road, when workers were being transported in the execution of their duties, the release stated. This is another industrial accident resulting from negligence and gross occupational safety and health shortcomings which highlights the risk which BCGI workers face on a daily basis, the release added.

GW&GWU said: “We are reminded that accidents do not just happen but are themselves a result of failure to observe measures appropriate to their prevention.”

The union noted that Occupational Health and Safety breaches present a threat to labour’s safety and is not a matter to be taken lightly nor can it be compromised.

Prevailing circumstances would dictate whether a woman is freed OVER the past weeks there have been two notable acquittals, namely Carol -Ann Lynch and Desiree Jeffers. The first woman mentioned was freed of all charges pertaining to the death of her former husband, the Swiss Cambio owner, while Jeffers was acquitted of the alleged killing of her much younger reputed husband, Igris Bob-Blackman. Two women charged for murder in apparent open and shut cases but who were, somehow, able to convince jurors with their versions of the events, which subsequently earned them their freedom. In the case of Carol-Ann Lynch this was her second trial.

Many were the critics who still believe that these two ladies “got away with murder” due to the fact that so much circumstantial evidence was stacked up against them. But like the O J Simpson case, circumstantial evidence was not enough to secure a conviction; hence, they were acquitted, freed of all charges. So one would now have to sit down and piece together the puzzle to see how the two got through.

Then, you would not have to think very hard to arrive at an answer. Integral to any trial, murder being a prime example, is the

taking into consideration of the prevailing circumstances. In Guyana today, the prevailing circumstances speak volumes where men are concerned in their abuse and/or killing of women. So the facts are crystal clear; whenever a woman is supposedly brought in on grounds of murder there is an overwhelming possibility that she would be acquitted.

Sympathies lie with the woman. Whenever that case comes up for trial, the tone and content of the case goes in favour of the female gender. So it would be very difficult to find an unbiased jury, men included, who would attempt to bring her in guilty. Try as they would, courts in Guyana today would be hard pressed to find jurors who would go against that inner conviction of seeing women who are constantly abused by heartless and cruel men further burdened with a conviction, far less incarceration. This is the cold, hard reality of the whole scenario we find on woman man relationships in Guyana. It paints a very dismal picture for men in a Guyanese society.

So my candid advice to all abusers and would be abusers of women is to come clean and fly right because too many factors militate against you.

Neil Adams

The safety of workers at the BGCI has been compromised for some time now and all efforts made by the union to have the Ministry of Labour address these problems have been ignored.

The continued refusal of the Ministry of Labour to act in the interests of BCGI workers to resolve their grievances heightens the belief that this company has disregard for the laws, workers’ rights, including their safety, with the full support of an uncaring Government, the release stated. There are many instances that can be cited to make this case, the union added.

For instance in May 2009, BCGI workers had cause to protest working with malfunctioning vehicles, 67 workers were suspended.

Industrial action was taken after some workers felt ill, one of whom is now permanently disabled. On 30th June, 2010 there was an accident of similar nature and two workers lost their lives, 15 were seriously injured and

others traumatised. In 2011 a mine at Aroaima caved in, where a worker was covered and lost his life, the release recalled.

The union further noted that the number of serious accidents that occurred in BCGI has never been experienced before in the bauxite industry. GB&GWU asks in this season of independence how long more, how much more blood has to be shed, injuries sustained, lives lost, families dislocated and workers traumatised before the government of Guyana holds BCGI accountable to the Laws of Guyana.

Meanwhile, according to the release, the Guyana Trades Union Congress got a commitment from Opposition Leader, Mr. David Granger, that he will tie the passage of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Bill (AML/CFT) to the Minister of Labour re-issuing the letters for arbitration.

GB&GWU is aware that when this matter was

raised at the launching of May Week 2014, it was reported in the media that the PNCR General Secretary had said “that APNU was unable to take action because the GTUC’s request was made only earlier this year at a time when Government was falsely claiming that the Opposition amendments to the AML/CFT Act were made at the last minute and the two issues were unrelated.”

GB&GWU is asking the political leadership if they will continue to shy away from their responsibility to the people in light of what happened on 24th May. GB&GWU said it needs assurance that the Opposition is not in collusion with the Government to have a section of this society live as second-class citizens in the land of their birth. The treatment BCGI workers receive at the hands of the management, the Government and the Opposition must be brought to an end, and all rights, laws and agreements be respected, the release concluded.

UGSSA addresses Opposition cuts to UG loan subvention, increase in tuition

By Derwayne Wills PRESIDENT of the University of Guyana Senior Staff Association (UGSSA), Dr. Patsy Francis asserted that the administration of the university must devise a plan which will see the restoration of the $450M student loan subvention thus offsetting the looming call for the increase in tuition.

A disgruntled Francis, on Friday, was addressing cuts made to the loan subvention for University of Guyana students during the 2014 Budgetary Debates of the National Assembly by A Partnership for National Unity (APNU)/ Alliance for Change (AFC) combined Opposition.

The UGSSA President also responded to remarks from the Vice Chancellor of the University of Guyana, Professor Jacob Opadeyi, who alluded to severe crisis being ensued at the tertiary institution if the decision taken by the Parliamentary Opposition to is not reversed.

According to her, the

Union is not in agreement with increasing the student fees without “concomitant increases in quality”, she further urged the relevant stakeholders to address the “increase” in tuition and not be railroaded by the “semantics” of “adjustments”, which were brought on by said disapproval in the National Assembly.

Additionally, the UGSSA President was adamant that real consultation with students had not yet commenced, since such consultations cannot be conducted with a few select persons representing the interests of the students that will simply agree whilst not taking the interest of the students into consideration.

Francis ardently maintained that mechanism must be put in place through scholarships, bursaries and soft loans provided by commercial banks and the Private Sector who would be willing to invest in the development of the country, she further added that all young people should be able to attend the University regardless of their economic status.

She further urged that the administration as well as the council of the University, to

President of the UGSSA, Dr. Patsy Francis

which the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Jacob Opadeyi is an integral member ought to lobby the relevant Politicians to have provisions made for the University in the requisite supplementary funding to the Ministry of Finance’s Loan Agency to curtail the impasse that is looming, further calling for reasonable policies

Rodney COI resumes today THE second nine-day session of the Commission of Inquiry (COI) into the death of historian/ politician Dr. Walter Rodney, who was assassinated some 33 years ago, will commence today in the Supreme Court Law Library.

The first four-day session, which came to an end earlier this month, revealed the horrific and frightening political climate which pervaded Guyana during the People’s National Congress’s (PNC) rule, when citizens were not only denied the basic human and constitutional rights, but were inflicted with severe violence when they sought to enjoy and exercise those rights.

The hearings were opened by Chairman of the COI Richard Cheltenham and the first witness, Senior

Superintendent of Police Leslie James, attached to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), was called to give evidence.

Three other witnesses were called: Lawrence Edward Rodney, eldest sibling of the deceased Rodney; Reverend Reuben Gilbert, friend and supporter of Dr. Rodney; and Karen De Souza, Red Thread Coordinator.

The Commission’s Lead Counsel, Glen Hanoman, and his team of lawyers, Latchmie Rahamat and Nicola Pierre, have only managed to complete the testimony of one witness, Reverend Gilbert, and the other three witnesses will be returning during the second session, either to continue giving their evidence or to be cross-examined.

Evidence will also be taken from more witnesses

as many persons are still coming forward to indicate their willingness to testify in the COI. According to Rahamat, in an invited comment, all of the witnesses could not be completed during the first session because of the nature of the evidence that is coming forth. “There is so much to say of what happened during that time. People who are coming to testify are people who were physically there or was affected some way or another.”

Meanwhile, President Donald Ramotar has since lauded the work of the COI, and observed that it is being done in a thorough fashion. “The committee is doing its work and I am happy that people are coming forward. I will reserve further comments for later,” he said.

with a sense of “social conscience” to be put in place.

Francis keenly noted the proposals made by the Unions on the increase in tuition fees and has urged that mechanisms must be put in place to facilitate students who cannot afford the proposed tuition fees.

Vice-President of the UGSSA, Dr. Melissa Ifill recalled that the union underscored two years ago that G$127,000 cannot produce a quality education for any one student at the campus. She said that the union recognises that there is a realistic cost for tertiary education, however, systems such as those of the University of the West Indies are ample where the State and the student share in the payment of tuition rates.

Also, she said that there must similarly be mechanisms in place for those students who cannot afford to foot their end of the bill, further urging that the students, who remain the majority stakeholders, should articulate for the advancement of their interests.

A Partnership for National Unity (APNU)/Alliance for Change (AFC) combined

Vice-President of the UGSSA, Dr. Melissa Ifill

parliamentary Opposition, in the Committee of Supply of the National Assembly during the 2014 budget debates, voted against funding for several Ministry of Finance programmes, including the $450M allocated to the University for student loans.

From the time of his inaugural address to the post of Vice-Chancellor of the

premier tertiary institution, Opadeyi had noted that, in order to ensure the improvement in the quality of service provided by the institution, tuition increases are imminent.

Former UG PRO-Chancellor, Dr. Prem Misir maintained, however, that while an increase in tuition will expectedly channel more revenue to the coffers of the university, at the same time such an undertaking could result in the denial of access to some students and that would not be the most desirable since students “should have equal right to admission at the University.”

Over the years, a vast majority of the student population at the country’s premier tertiary institution has benefited from student loans and a large percentage of prospective and current undergraduates depend on said loan in order to assist in furthering themselves to make substantial contributions which are integral to the country’s development.

Freedom did not come on a platter … Presidential Advisor Odinga Lumumba tells gathering at Region 7 flag-raising ceremony

REGION 7 Sunday evening joined with the rest of the country in celebrating 48 years of Independence.

Guyana achieved its freedom from Great Britain on May 26, 1966.

The celebration was attended by Presidential Advisor on Community Development Odinga Lumumba, who, in his feature address, saluted those persons who have made significant contributions towards Guyana achieving Independence.

He noted that when “we speak about Independence, we must speak about the struggle for Independence, because freedom did not come easily”.

“Freedom does not come on a platter; freedom comes because you worked towards it. You either work through prayers, through protest, through reasoning, or through the gun. That has been the history of the countries obtaining Independence… but we in Guyana

Presidential Advisor on Community Development Odinga Lumumba giving the feature address at the annual flag raising ceremony in Region 7

didn’t had to pick the gun up, we gained freedom through our intelligence, good leadership, strong protest movements, petitions and our own desire,” he continued.

He informed the gathering that while it’s important that Guyanese must not forget the contributions of LFS Burnham and Dr. Cheddi Jagan, they must remember, as well, the contributions of the slaves who took up the battle for freedom.

He called on the young people to be acquainted with the history of Guyana in order to understand the trials and difficulties faced in the past.

“We are now in a position to make decisions either right or wrong for our country; Independence means that we now have the option to use our creativity ...we now have access to our natural resources to determine whether we should have partnership with foreign companies, whether we should have more access for our local businessmen, but the important thing is, those resources are now available to us,” the Presidential Advisor pointed out.

Recalling Guyana’s history, Lumumba emphasised that in the past, certain commodities encountered problems on the international market, but now the industries have turned around and the country is making pathway for international markets in Guyana. Turn to page 17

Guyana’s story is inspirational -CDB President

The performance of the Guyana economy was described as inspirational to regional counterparts by the Caribbean Development Bank’s President Dr. William Warren Smith.

In an interview shared with Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh last evening on the National Communications Network (NCN), the top regional banking official said that with a few notable exceptions, such as Guyana, the state of the Caribbean’s economy is “not good”.

He said that generally those countries that have managed their fiscal affairs well, and also have had the good fortune of being producers of commodities are the ones that are doing well, economically.

“That is the story of Guyana and I like to talk about the Guyana story because it is inspirational”.

The CDB president said that those countries having a difficult time have an opportunity to look at Guyana “which has travelled a very difficult road over a very long time”.

He noted that successive Guyanese Governments have made tough decisions and stayed the course. “There has been a consistency of policy over a very long time and what you’ve seen today is the culmination of that vision, that tenacity to do the right things”.

Guyana has laid the groundwork to attract massive investment and is attractive to foreign direct investment and its economic climate is good, the CDB president stated, and “well endowed” with natural resources. Other Caribbean countries without Guyana’s resources, Dr Smith said, can still make their way with what they have, whether, its education or the “sun, sea and sand”. He explained that while regional states with primarily service type industries are the most challenged economically, it doesn’t mean that their future is dim. “What it means is that they need to learn from the experiences of Guyana

and look at other countries in the world which have learnt the lessons of good fiscal and debt management. Build on that infrastructure and take the opportunity to make their way in the world.”

A number of countries are now taking the tough steps needed to “put their houses in order,” according to Dr. Smith.

He gave the example of St Kitts and Nevis which had one of the highest debt to GDP ratios in the Caribbean, if not the world. This country took the tough decisions needed and is in the process of recovering its economic strength, he said.

Grenada and Jamaica are on the same path, economically, he further added.

The economic downturns resulted from the international recession which gained momentum from 2008, it was explained. Some nations have paid the price for not being as prudent as they should have, but the lessons have been learnt he added.

“One of the reasons why the CDB is here, is that when the countries go through difficult times, that is when we need to step up to the plate”.

The regional financial institution is going to continue to work with Caribbean countries, Dr. Smith said, along with developmental partners to ensure that there is “a good story at the end of the day”.

For Guyana’s Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh, Guyana is inextricably linked, economically to the Caribbean and neighbouring countries. The nature of today’s world is one of inter-connectedness and inter-relatedness and “what happens in the rest of the world feeds into the regional and domestic economies”.

Echoing the words of the CDB president, the finance minister said that tough decisions had to be made and stuck with. He noted that while Guyana has been helped by the

rising global prices for some of its commodities, Government has had to work hard to ensure that the economy is diversified to avoid over dependence on one sector. He explained that it sometimes called for making hard decisions that were not popular in the short - term, but necessary in the long- term to ensure Guyana’s future prosperity.

Guyana takes its role on the regional stage very seriously, the finance minister said, and the prosperity of the Caribbean will mean greater prosperity for Guyana and its citizens.

According to Dr Singh, Guyana remains firmly committed to the Rregion’s integration pledging that, “We will continue to work very closely with our Caribbean partners, towards the objective of a greater Caribbean prosperity. We believe Guyana has a role to play, so does every other Caribbean country."

He noted that each territory has unique attributes and opportunities for regional members to take advantage of investment openings, with an eye towards markets in Suriname, Brazil and to a lesser extent, Venezuela. These he said, provide “ripe opportunities in real life, integration at work, so to speak. I believe the more examples we see, the greater will these redound to Guyana… for the rest of the region.

We believe the CDB has a role to play in achieving a more prosperous Caribbean as a whole”.

The CDB is being hosted in Guyana for its annual Board of Directors Meeting, from May 28 to 29, at the Guyana International Conference Centre.

The Government of Guyana, with support from the CDB, has been bettering the lives of thousands of Guyanese through building infrastructure such as roads and stellings, as well as ensuring training for youths in ICT through the Basic Needs Trust Fund (BNTF). (GINA)

Opposition ‘no’politics in Parliament hampering progress … President Ramotar at flag-raising ceremony

By Vanessa Narine THE politics of “no” has characterized the 10th Parliament, according to President Donald Ramotar, who added that this stance is hampering and undermining progress and, more importantly, the passage of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Amendment Bill.

Speaking at the National Park on Sunday night, during the 48th Independence anniversary celebrations, he said, “How can we speak about fighting corruption and narco-trafficking and refuse to pass the FATF (Financial Action Task Force) and CFATF (Caribbean Financial Action Task Force) compliant bill?”

According to him, the combined Opposition’s blocking of the bill has exposed Guyana to being blacklisted by the international community, as well as all the consequences that will follow.

The President said, “As we meet tonight, (Sunday night)

the Guyana delegation is on its way to the CFATF meeting which will review Guyana on our Independence Day (yesterday) and all indications are that Guyana will automatically be forwarded for review by the FATF. “This means that Guyana will be listed immediately as a country that threatens the global financial, banking and insurance systems, and countries will be instructed to take protective measures against Guyana.”

Mr. Ramotar questioned what will be gained by what he termed “irresponsible and reckless” tactics in Guyana’s body politic.

He said, “This, I believe, will have an impact on the collective morality of our nation. These actions threaten the foundations of our freedom and democracy that our foreparents fought so gallantly for.”

The Head of State underscored the fact that all efforts must be made to maximise on the potential of accelerating economic growth and enhancing the quality of life of all of Guyanese people, rather than advance actions that will retard

President Donald Ramotar at the National Park on Sunday evening economic progress.

On that note, he acknowledged that there is much to celebrate, but underscored the fact that the momentum achieved at the end of 2011 could have allowed the nation advance, had there been greater cooperation amongst the parliamentary political parties in the National Assembly.

“My dear countrymen and women, on this our 48th Anniversary, allow me to call on all to take special pride in our achievements and to make a greater contribution to the improvements of our country,” President Ramotar stressed.

By Vanessa Narine

THE driver of a Toyota Allion on the Den Amstel public road, West Coast, Demerara, on Saturday night was attempting to overtake a Toyota Carina when he slammed into the back of that car and ended up in a trench.

The driver of the Toyota Allion has since been charged with dangerous driving, the Guyana Chronicle understands.

Dozens of persons converged at the scene at approximately 9:41pm although, fortunately, it was not a fatal accident.

Trevor Withrite, who was driving Toyota Carina, PRR 5272, told the Guyana Chronicle that the driver of the Toyota Allion, PRR 8209, attempted to speed away after hitting into him but soon after he ran off the road and plunged overboard.

However, the driver of PRR 8209 refused to comment when asked to relate what happened. Meanwhile the police came in for criticism over their protracted delay in arriving at the accident scene, since the Den Amstel Police Station is about three minutes away.

Man stabbed in neck by workmate is desirous of giving police statement - alleged assailant reportedly already arraigned in G/town

By Shirley Thomas GOLD MINER Sadeek Muhammed, 27, of Lusignan, East Coast Demerara, who was stabbed in the neck at Bartica, Region 7, two Saturdays ago, has suffered considerable nerve damage, and is unable to move his right leg as he remains stricken in bed in the Male Surgical Ward of the Georgetown Public Hospital, where doctors are working assiduously to repair the damage.

Muhammed spent two months working dedicatedly on his first trip to the gold mining interior, but came out to Bartica on Saturday, May 19, only to encounter what almost cost him his life.

He recalled that, while in camp, he came to know a certain man, and they travelled out to Bartica on the same Saturday with the intention of spending two days before returning to camp. They jointly rented a room at a hotel named Cheap Shop, and proceeded to move around.

On Saturday afternoon, this friend allegedly asked Muhammed for a loan of $5,000 to buy a cap and a vest, allegedly offered to leave his cellular phone with Muhammed as security for the loan; and Muhammed allegedly granted this friend the loan and collected his phone, not knowing that the friend had an ulterior motive.

Muhammed alleges that he was out on the road Stabbed in the neck: later that evening when he encountered another Shadeek Muhammed friend, who lives at Third Avenue, Bartica. He said he was chatting with that friend when the mining camp friend allegedly crept up behind him and stabbed him in the neck before relieving him of the cellphone lodged as security for the $5,000 loan.

That friend was allegedly walking away from the scene of the attack when residents in the neighbourhood who had seen what had transpired demanded that he take the injured Muhammed to hospital.

The residents stopped a passing taxi and saw to it that Muhammed’s assailant accompany the injured Muhammed to the Bartica hospital. However, on arrival at the hospital, the assailant reportedly deposited the wounded man at the Accident and Emergency Unit and fled without giving a report about the man’s injuries.

Word quickly circulated in the community, and the police, alerted, managed to apprehend the assailant at the Cool Breeze entertainment spot, from where they took him into custody.

Muhammed says he understands that the matter was transferred to Georgetown, and that the accused was passed through the court last week. He said he has since been trying to make contact with the investigating rank, Matthai, but was told that Matthai has since been transferred from Bartica to Georgetown.

Muhammed would like the police to know that he is warded in the Male Surgical Ward of the GPHC, and would like to give a statement on the matter.

UG students can be accommodated at Eugene Dupuch Law School … Council of Legal Education to meet with stakeholders

By Vanessa Narine THE Chairperson of the Council of Legal Education, Ms. Jacqueline Samuels-Browne, QC, has pronounced on the decision not to automatically place 25 University of Guyana Bachelor of Law (LLB) students at the Hugh Wooding Law School.

And, in her response on May 2, she stated that some UG graduates can be accommodated at the Eugene Dupuch Law School in Nassau, Bahamas.

She said the Council would have to know, as soon as possible, how many UG graduates would be interested in attending that law school.

She said: “If the capacity constraints of the Hugh Wooding Law School and the Norman Manley Law School are to be addressed in a meaningful way, the law schools must receive capital injections to fund the expansion of the physical plants and the full-time staff complement as a matter of urgency.

“We have no sources of significant funding other than from the contributing governments, and I would certainly invite the governments to give immediate and positive consideration to this pressing need.”

REVISED Samuels-Browne added that the automatic admission is something that may have to be revisited, particularly as the quota system on which it was premised has been effectively abandoned.

She said, “The Hugh Wooding Law School has reiterated that, until we know how many graduates of the University of the West Indies will exercise their right to seek admission to that law school, it cannot be determined how many additional students can be accommodated.

“As you know, they have priority over other applicants. This is one of the

matters which may have to be revisited, particularly as the quota system on which it was premised has been effectively abandoned.”

The automatic admission was an arrangement that existed under a collaborative agreement between the University of the West Indies, the Council of Legal Education, and UG. The agreement has expired, and has not been renewed for the year 2014.

The Chairperson of the Council has since requested a meeting with a delegation from the Council and Dr. Ralph Gonsalves.

A letter from Dr. Gonsalves, the Chairman of the Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), had prompted the response from the Chairperson at the beginning of April.

The Conference of Heads of Government of CARICOM recently concluded its 25th Inter-Sessional Meeting, held on March 10 and 11 in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, where President Donald Ramotar raised the matter.

Discussion on the issue resulted in Gonsalves sending a letter to the Chairman of the Council of Legal Education, which said: “This matter is of grave concern to Heads of Government, as it effectively results in Guyanese students having no access to the law schools, notwithstanding that they would have entered the UG Programme in the expectation that at least the top 25 graduates were entitled to automatic admission.

“It is also of tremendous concern that, in the current scenario, admission to the practice of Law in the CLE member countries is restricted to the graduates of one institution.

“The implications of the decision by the Council and the law schools are far-reaching in terms of the provision of legal education services and access to the legal profession, in the context of liberalisation of trade in

services, and in a Community which has established a single market and free movement of service providers and skilled nationals. “…I write, as Chair of the Conference, to request that the Council accommodates the automatic admission of the top 25 Guyanese graduates for the academic year 2014-2015. I also draw to your attention that the Conference, representing the Heads of Government of the parties to the CLE Agreement, has mandated that the Council completes a thorough review of legal education in the Community before the next academic year, to resolve the deeper issues concerning legal education, including access and the role and function of the Council of Legal Education.”

GOV’T COMMITTED Guyana’s Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, in a statement, indicated that President Donald Ramotar has already made contact with Gonsalves and requested an early meeting.

He said, “Arrangements are currently being made for that meeting to take place at the earliest possible day in June 2014.”

The Government of Guyana will be represented at that meeting by the AG, by an executive member of the Council of Legal Education of the West Indies, and by personnel from the University of Guyana.

Nandlall said, “The Government remains committed to pursue most resolutely every possible avenue, and resort to every option available in order to protect the welfare of our students and the future of the law programme at the University of Guyana. “…the Government continues in its effort to seek a resolution of the impasse affecting the University of Guyana law students from gaining access into the Hugh Wooding Law School, Trinidad.”

The 2014/2015 academic year will start on September 15, 2014. Prior

to the start of the school y e a r, t h e A d m i s s i o n s Board Examinations are

scheduled for June, 2014, and the Admissions Board meeting is slated for August, 2014.

CARICOM strongly condemns kidnapping of Nigerian schoolgirls

By Vanessa Narine THE participants of the 17th two-day meeting of the Caribbean Community’s (CARICOM) Council for Foreign and Community Relations (COFCOR), which ended last Wednesday, took a stand with the people of Nigeria and have strongly condemned the kidnapping of 276 Nigerian schoolgirls.

The militant Islamist group which kidnapped the girls from their school in Chibok in the north-eastern state of Borno on April 14, Boko Haram, headed by Abubakar Shekau, has promised to sell the girls and marry them off. Some 53 of the girls have since escaped their captors.

The captive girls are thought to be held in a remote and forested area of the state close to the border with Chad and Cameroon.

A joint statement from the 17th COFCOR meeting also made clear the Community’s condemnation of the recent bombings that caused a large number of innocent civilian casualties.

They also acknowledged that terrorism is a transnational concern and, noting the commitment of the Nigerian Government to address the terrorism threat, welcomed the international support for the efforts to help find and rescue the abducted schoolgirls.

The Council’s Foreign Ministers endorsed the May 9th statement from the United Nations Security Council, which condemned in the strongest terms the terrorist attacks and the abductions of schoolgirls committed by Boko Haram.

The meeting took place at the CARICOM Secretariat, Turkeyen, under the chairmanship of the Honourable Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Guyana.

The latest report on the incident, according to AFP (Agence France-Presse - the international news agency), indicated that African leaders in Pretoria, for President Jacob Zuma's inauguration, held informal talks on the security situation in Nigeria last Saturday.

Nigeria's President, Goodluck Jonathan, is among more than 20 heads of state gathered for the event.

According to the report, South African Government spokesman, Clayson Monyela, said the group will discuss security in Nigeria, where the kidnapping of 276 schoolgirls has laid bare the government's inability to tackle an insurgency by the militant Islamist group, Boko Haram.

The talks follow a spate of attacks in Nigeria, which is under growing international pressure to tackle the increasingly bloody uprising.

The Nigerian President was greeted with shouts of "bring back our girls" when he arrived at the Union Buildings, where Zuma was inaugurated.

“Gold is up and down, but we have to continue to support the mining industry, but Government must continue to develop the infrastructure so that it becomes easy for miners to produce their commodities,” he noted.

“The PPP/C Government has put the past behind them because we recognise to move this country forward, we cannot continue to dwell on the past, so we have identified projects that we believe will turn this country around, projects that will make this country more economically viable.”

Lumumba identified high electricity cost as one of the harshest problems facing Guyana today, noting that a country can only move forward if the manufacturing industry is involved in its economic development.

He said that in order to encourage people to come to Guyana and get involved in manufacturing, there must be access to cheap and reliable energy.

“The Government has initiated a project, Amaila Hydro project, 180 megawatts of power, cheap electric energy that will satisfy foreign manufacturers, that will encourage local manufacturers; but where are we? Lumumba asked this question because the project has been stymied as a result of the Opposition blocking allocations for this mega project.

Region 7 Chairman, Gordon Bradford, recalled 48 years ago when the Union Jack was lowered and the Golden Arrowhead was raised, which he described as one of the best celebrations he has ever witnessed.

“Independence means

that we have to be a nation that is self-reliant, a nation that would determine its own future for generations to come…we have to work together, we have to be able to put aside our petty differences, being political, religious, racial, what have you, and we have to form team Guyana,” Bradford added.

This year ’s Independence Anniversary is being celebrated under the theme “Supporting the role of development through 48 years of Independence.”

Cabinet members fanned out to all the administrative regions to join in the celebrations.

Dead man found on Eccles Access Road, EBD with gunshot wound POLICE are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a hitherto unidentified man of mixed ancestry, whose body was found, at about 22:00 hours on Saturday on the Eccles Access Road, East Bank Demerara, with a suspected bullet wound.

The victim, apparently aged in the thirties, was brown-complexioned and was clad in a white jersey, blue denim coat, blue hard pants and black boots.

The body is at the Lyken Funeral Parlour, but investigations are in progress. (Michel Outridge)

Aries

Part of you wants nothing more than to keep quiet about what you’re feeling, especially if it’s a touchy subject. But a much more insistent part of you -- the rebellious part who wants to challenge the world with the news -- that part of you just won’t have it. You’re currently doing internal battle. While neither side has officially won, you know who to bet on -- and it’s not the side of you that wants to be nice.

Taurus

You’ve kept quiet about that attraction you’ve been feeling for a long time, but it just can’t last for much longer. You really need to talk with someone about this, and your best friend or favourite sibling will be only too happy to listen. Better get it off your chest now, and map out a battle plan for when they make their move, because they’re about to -- and soon, too.

Gemini

At this point, the thing you need to remember is that while you can love someone just as much as you want to, you can’t live their life for them.

Forgetting about them may be impossible, too. If you need to take a minivacation, however, there’s no time like the present. After all, you could spend the next 48 hours worrying about one of your closest -- and craziest -- companions, but why would you want to?

Cancer

This astrological forecast is so good, it’s like having exactly what you ordered from the universe magically come to pass -- only better, because it doesn’t matter where you are or who you’re with. It will still show up. You’ll feel warm, fuzzy and oh-so-happy to be with whomever you’re with, and the feelings will be mutual. Get together with whomever you’ve made plans, and expect it all to go beautifully.

Leo

You’re having a fine old time, and not even near ready to call it a day. You’re probably running on just a few hours of sleep, too, but you’d never know it.

You’re excited, enthusiastic and feeling as if you’ve got a solid ten hours of snooze time under your belt. Good for you. Consider it a gift from the universe, and enjoy it in the company of some equally energetic company while it lasts.

Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - 14:30 Wednesday, May 28, 2014 - 14:30

Today’s astrological menu includes more than just a touch of passion. We’re talking major-league fireworks, in fact. But remember, passion can travel long-distance, and that’s where it’s going now. Basically, anyone who comes into contact with you will feel it right away, but you won’t be interested in anyone who’s not wearing a far-off accent. Oh, and if you’re angry, please do warn any innocent bystanders to duck. One never knows what you’ll do if provoked. You’re feeling quite unpredictable.

Libra

Yay! You’re set to receive nothing but good news today. Not only is it finally, officially time to play, but you’re also going to be in a fine mood -romantic, passionate and just a tad eager to take a risk. Does this mean you’ll be ruining your reputation as peacemaker/negotiator and cooperator extraordinaire? Not at all. Just add world-class lover to that list. Stand back, everyone; coming through.

Scorpio

No one has ever accused you of being lazy, and no one ever will. No one in their right mind, anyway. Those who know and love you have also seen how you get when you’re really intent on finishing something. So your willingness to keep on working on that project until it’s done -- even though it’s the weekend and everyone else just wants to eat, drink and be merry -- won’t surprise them. Any newcomers to your circle may be a bit surprised by you.

Sagittarius

You’re not quite sure what’s gotten into you, but you think you like it. You’re still as fun-loving and fond of risks as you ever were, but at the moment, you’re also looking for a safety net -- just in case. That’s definitely not like you, is it? Maybe there’s a certain person in the picture (a coworker?), or someone you don’t want to offend or frighten. Well, not to worry, we’ll all be in the same mood.

Capricorn

It’s not like you to talk a lot. You pride yourself on using only as many words as necessary to get your point across. No more and no less. So when your dear ones ask you what’s up, don’t be offended. They’re just wondering who you are and what you’ve done with their friend. Oh, enjoy it. It’s good to keep ‘em guessing. Blame it on the coffee.

Aquarius

Still operating your mouth without engaging your brain first, especially if your feelings are involved? Well, try your best to get it under control -- but if it doesn’t work, don’t worry. The entire world will be quite chatty today, not just you. For once, in fact, you’ll blend right in. They may even think that you’re a bit quiet.

Pisces

You’re a sensitive creature, with antennae that never, ever fail you. Those antennae are going to come in quite handy now, given that there’s a mixed bag of astrological energies on duty that aren’t exactly a predictable bunch.

One never knows what you’ll do, or what the rest of the world will do, but you’ll know about it just before it happens. Better keep a chaperone handy.

You’ll be picking up all kinds of signals.

Ryan Stephney’s late free throw sinks Linden 71-70 WITH just over five seconds remaining in the game, Ryan Stephney, fouled by Keon Cameron with the scores levelled at 70 points, headed to the free throw line to shoot two shots.

He sank the first and missed the other but time did not permit Linden to respond as they fell to Georgetown 71-70 in game two of their Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF) Inter-Association tournament at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall last Sunday.

The national point guard had struggled all game, only scoring nine points on the night when fans were kept entertained with 40 pulsating minutes of basketball from some of the best players Guyana has to offer.

Cameron was called for ‘hand-checking’ by Referee Aubrey Young, who along with Lugard Mohan and Rawle Toney, carried the whistle for the game.

The call certainly did not go down well with the Linden supporters who voiced their disagreement; nonetheless it would go down as the play that handed Georgetown the much-needed win and possibly the GABF Inter-Association championship.

The game was close from jump ball and while spectators were vociferous from the getgo, they all refrained from making any bold predictions, especially after Linden came into the game having already won the previous meeting in the tournament 58-50.

Linden led the first period

17-15 and closed the half up by four (37-33). The men from the bauxite mining town were led by Dwayne ‘Brown Sugar’ Roberts, whom the Georgetown defence really couldn’t match, and he finished the night with 18 points and 13 rebounds.

But the contest in second half moved back and forth, with Georgetown being more aggressive offensively.

Led by Travis Burnett who poured in a game-high 21 points, coach Darcel Harris went with a small group, pairing Shelroy Thomas and Stephney in his back court and Akeem Kanhai and Jermaine Slater in the front court.

The result was exactly what he wanted; Georgetown closed the penultimate quarter leading 50-45 and setting up what turned out to be one the most exiting quarters of basketball played at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall for the year.

Linden’s coach Kevin ‘2Feet’ Joseph installed Cameron, Chris Williams, Orin Rose, Roberts and Shane Webster to start the fourth quarter, forcing his City rival to counter with a similar line-up, playing Kanhai, Dominic Vincente, Burnett, Ryan Gullen and Dave Causeway.

From the outset, the plan was simple for Linden which was for them to get the ball inside to Webster or Roberts,

as they were having a field day against the Georgetown ‘Bigs’ all night and the play in the fourth quarter didn’t change much.

Georgetown allowed their five-point cushion to slip away and before long, the two sides began to exchange baskets which saw the lead change hands steadily.

Cameron finished the night with 16 points, including some crucial baskets, but he also was careless with the ball and Georgetown’s hardnosed defence mostly converted into fast break baskets.

Williams, though, was kept at bay by Georgetown, who restricted his shooting game to just having him play point guard. He controlled the ball and the flow of the game well, but Linden could’ve really used his scoring.

Kanhai had eight points, Slater netted six and Thomas thirteen for Georgetown, who now await the result of the Linden/Berbice game to know if they will lift the trophy.

For Linden to win this year’s championship, they will have to beat Berbice by more than 74 points since Georgetown inflicted a 74-point drubbing (116-42) on the men from the Ancient County.

Linden and Berbice will face each other this weekend at the Mackenzie Sports Club Hard Court.

Funny man Djokovic slithers, Nadal cruises at damp French Open

By Robert Woodward PARIS, France (Reuters) Novak Djokovic played the funny man as he slithered to a 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 win over Portugal’s Joao Sousa on a rain-interrupted second day at the French Open but defending champion Rafael Nadal slipped into his customary role of cold-eyed assassin on clay.

Nadal, bidding for his ninth title at Roland Garros, hunted down Robby Ginepri during a first set that ended 6-0 in the Spaniard’s favour.

The American greeted his

capture of the first game of the second set with a clenched fist of mock celebration but defeat, while somewhat delayed, was inevitable as he folded 6-0, 6-3, 6-0.

Dark horse Kei Nishikori was the first top 10 seed in the men’s or women’s singles to miss out on the second round, the ninth seed from Japan losing 7-6(4), 6-1, 6-2 to Slovakia’s Martin Klizan.

The start of play was delayed for about one hour, and Maria Sharapova managed to finish off fellow Russian Ksenia Pervak for the loss of only three games on the Philippe

Chatrier show court before rain returned to stop play for another hour.

Djokovic was leading 4-1 at the time and, on the resumption, broke Sousa to love. He then recovered from 0-40 on his own serve to wrap up the first set with two crushing first serves.

Rain began to fall again with the Serb, who is strongly fancied to end Nadal’s hold on the title, preparing to serve for the set at 5-2. Djokovic sat, looking slightly ridiculous, in a white hooded waterproof jacket as the umpire decided whether to take the players

off court.

Djokovic made a series of faces at the camera before inviting a ball boy to share his seat, and a soft drink.

They chatted under a large umbrella to the amusement of the crowd.

When play resumed after five minutes, they shook hands politely before resuming their previous roles.

“It was a nice, fun time, something unusual for the grand slams,” said Djokovic.

“We waited for around 10 minutes in the pouring rain on the court, so I felt there’s something I should do and make a new friend. He accepted the offer to sit down, which I didn’t think he would do. So he’s a very spontaneous little boy, and I hope I see him my next match.”

Djokovic, who beat Nadal in the Italian Open final in Rome this month, also criticised the state of the court after several days of rain in the French capital. During his match, the players’ first serves kicked up sprays of wet clay.

“The court is not in great shape at the moment; balls get heavier, and the more difficult

it is for you to move, to penetrate the shots. Everything becomes slower,” he said, “so it is more effort on your body.”

Nadal, playing on the Court Suzanne Lenglen, was held in check by world No.279 Ginepri for several games in the second set but his relentless power and attritional accuracy from the baseline proved too much for the wildcard.

“Obviously coming from Tallahassee Challenger no one is hitting like that,” Ginepri told reporters.

The last few games were played in weak sunshine but the forecast is for further periods of rain during the first week of the second grand slam of the year.

BLOWN KISSES The warm-up on Philippe Chatrier featured seventh seed and 2012 champion Sharapova in fetching pink and Pervak in what looked like army camouflage trousers and jacket.

Winner of the Stuttgart and Madrid claycourt titles, Sharapova went on the attack early, moving her left-handed compatriot around the court to

break at the first opportunity.

But a wild volley at the net, with the whole court open, allowed Pervak to break back before the four-time grand slam champion emerged with a 4-1 lead and took the set in 27 minutes.

Sharapova broke early in the second set and won 6-1, 6-2 to show she had recovered from her thrashing by Ana Ivanovic in the third round in Rome.

“It’s good to play the first match and hopefully you’ll be able to finish the match today with the weather conditions being as they are. It’s always nice to get through,” said Sharapova.

Slovakian ninth seed Dominika Cibulkova, the Australian Open runner-up, beat France’s Virginie Razzano 7-5, 6-0.

There were also wins for seeds Sabine Lisicki, last year’s losing Wimbledon finalist, Flavia Pennetta, the winner at Indian Wells this year, and Australia’s Sam Stosur who thrashed Monica Puig of Puerto Rico 6-1, 6-1 despite playing with stitches in her leg following an accident in the gym last week.

Rodgers given new long-term contract by Liverpool LONDON, England (Reuters) - Brendan Rodgers has been rewarded for leading Liverpool to the brink of their first English league title for 24 years with a new long-term contract, the club said yesterday.

Liverpool ended two points behind champions Manchester City after faltering near the end of the season, but are looking forward to a return to the Champions League for the first time since the 2009-10 season.

In a joint statement, owner John Henry and chairman

Tom Werner said Rodgers was the right manager to bring silverware back to Anfield.

“We are very fortunate to have a hugely talented individual leading our football performance and in whom we place our trust to deliver the vision we share for Liverpool Football Club.

“Brendan is at the heart of what we, as an ownership group, are trying to achieve on the pitch.

“This season has reaffirmed everyone’s belief that we can bring football success to Liverpool and we

are all committed to working together to achieve that.”

Rodgers’s second season in charge at Anfield saw a dramatic improvement on his first when they finished seventh.

“I am both humbled and privileged to be offered the chance to extend my stay at this great club,” he said.

“I am very happy to build on the foundations we have built over the last two years and now we move on to the next phase which I believe will be as exciting, challenging and rewarding.”

Zimbabwe’s Streak named Bangladesh bowling coach DHAKA, Bangladesh (Reuters) - Bangladesh have appointed former Zimbabwe Test captain Heath Streak as a specialist bowling coach after agreeing on a two-year contract, the local cricket board (BCB) said yesterday.

The 40-year-old Streak, who played in 65 Test matches and 189 one-dayers, had

been Zimbabwe’s bowling coach from 2009 to 2013 and will join Bangladesh prior to next month’s three-match ODI series against India.

“I look forward to the challenge of working with the Tigers and thank BCB for the opportunity,” the former all-rounder said in a statement.

“It is exciting for me to

be back into the international coaching arena again. It is my passion to coach at an elite level and I hope I can bring my experience as a former player and coach to the Bangladeshi bowlers.”

Earlier this month, former Sri Lanka batsman Chandika Hathurusingha was named as head coach of the Bangladesh national side.

IPL-7 Qualifier 1: Consistent Kings XI Punjab take on buoyant Kolkata KOLKATA, India - The most consistent team of IPL-7 will be up against the most resilient side of the current edition when Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the first qualifier of the IPL today.

Punjab have been the most outstanding team this season to finish top of the points table, courtesy a superlative batting show from Glenn Maxwell.

On the other hand, Kolkata were written off midway into the tournament with just two wins from first seven matches but they bounced back in superb fashion to seal a playoff berth.

Glenn Maxwell Later, Yusuf Pathan’s destructive 22-ball 72 against Hyderabad fired them up to second spot ahead of Chennai on the basis of a better net run rate. Their 4-wicket triumph over Hyderabad was their seventh win on the trot.

Punjab may be the heavyweights but they would be wary of KKR’s momentum and it would be quite a chal-

lenge for George Bailey’s men to breach their opponent’s fortress at the Eden Gardens.

Both the teams are two wins away from the glittering trophy but a loss in the first qualifier will not be the end of the road either. The losing team would survive to play the second qualifier in the battle to make it to the final of the cash-rich tournament.

Yusuf Pathan will be a threat in the ranks of KKR, quite the same way Maxwell is in the KXIP line-up, in what promises to be yet another run feast with both teams boasting of powerful batting line-ups.

The ground has been under cover since Sunday because of a downpour and both the teams will keep

their fingers crossed as rain has been forecast for today.

There is a reserve day on May 28 but both teams would be keen for a result today without stretching it too far.

Under overcast conditions, the slow bowlers could play a crucial role and the KKR camp would have an extra edge in mystery spinner Sunil Narine who has the Purple Cap. They also have left-armer Shakib Al Hasan in a potent spin attack.

Maxwell was dismissed by leg-spinners six times in this IPL and Shakib will surely look to exploit the weakness of the Aussie who is in the middle of a rare lean patch.

Maxwell, who was rested against Rajasthan, has scored 16 runs from the last

three innings and was out for a duck in their 116-run chase against Delhi Daredevils on Sunday.

Boasting a strong middle-order in David Miller, Manan Vohra, skipper Bailey and Wriddhiman Saha, KXIP should not worry much about Maxwell’s lean patch.

What, however, would be a cause of concern for KXIP is their spin bowling with the likes of Rishi Dhawan and Akshar Patel not making too much inroads. It would be interesting if they bring in Murali Kartik in their line-up.

With Mitchell Johnson spearheading the pace department, KXIP pacers have most number of wickets (62) but at the same time, their spinners have the fewest (24).

In terms of batting, Shaun Marsh, who has been a consistent performer for KXIP with about 2 000 runs, has been benched with Maxwell and Miller stealing the show.

KXIP have lost to KKR,

the second team after Mumbai Indians to have beaten the table-toppers this season, and the home side would surely fancy their chances with a vociferous crowd behind them.

KKR look a more balanced side of the two both in batting and bowling.

Leading run-getter Robin Uthappa, who has the Orange Cap with 613 runs from 14 matches, has been instrumental in giving fine starts with skipper Gautam Gambhir, who too has been impressive with 311 from 14 matches.

The duo has been successfully giving the team fine starts before the likes of Shakib, Ryan ten Doeschate and Yusuf fire up in the middle-order, which has been the KKR’s story so far this season.

But previous laurels won’t matter in the play-offs as both the teams will have to start from zero. Surely, the contest will be a treat for the cricket-crazy crowd at the Eden Gardens.

Blake shines again as Jamaica complete sprint double NASSAU, Bahamas (CMC) – Yohan Blake clocked nearly nine seconds flat as Jamaica produced a clinical performance to win the marquee men’s 4x100 metres relay at the IAAF World Relays here Sunday night.

The Olympic 100 and 200 metres silver medallist was timed at 9.07 using a running start, and his fireworks propelled Jamaica across the line in 37.77 seconds at the Thomas A. Robinson Stadium.

Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) snatched second place with a time of 38.04 seconds ahead of Great Britain (GB) who were third in 38.19.

Still pumped from shattering a 20-year-old World record in the 4x200m on Saturday, the Jamaicans once again snatched the headlines with superb showing in front an excited full house.

Yohan Blake Nesta Carter gave them a smooth start before Nickel Ashmeade carved out a lead on the second leg before handing over to Julian Forte. With a healthy cushion on the final leg, Blake produced devastating speed down the stretch to complete an excellent outing for the Jamaicans.

Team GB seemed to have silver covered until Richard Thompson streaked past Dwain Chambers to pull off an upset.

Jamaica had earlier captured their heat to easily qualify, thanks to a brilliant last

leg from Andrew Fisher while GB collared T&T to also qualify by winning their heat.

There was massive disappointment for the United States (US) , however, as they along with hosts the Bahamas, were disqualified for passing the baton outside the zone.

Jamaica’s women could not match the success of their men in the 4x400m relay, finishing second to the Americans who clocked three minutes 21.73 seconds.

The Jamaicans were timed at 3:23.26, with Nigeria third in 3:23.41.

Jamaica trailed the US on the first leg but Novlene Williams-Mills chased down Sanya Richards-Ross to close the gap on the second leg, to give the two foes near parity at the half-way stage.

However, Natasha Hastings out-ran Anastasia LeRoy on the third leg and

her counterpart Joanna Atkins took the baton with a 10-metre lead and quickly formalised the result for the US. I n a t h r i l l i n g m e n ’s 4x400 metres, T&T set a new national record of two minutes 58.34 seconds in finishing third, as the US with World champion LaShawn Merritt on anchor, took top honours.

In a race that saw the lead exchange hands several times, Merritt produced a burst in the last ten metres to get past the Bahamas and steal victory in a time of 2:57.25.

The hosts, who benefited from a brilliant third leg from Chris Brown who clocked 44.20, crossed the line in 2:57.59 with Michael Mathieu on anchor.

Overall, the United States finished with 60 points to claim the Golden Baton, while Jamaica were second on 41 points and Kenya third on 35.

Blackwood dominates Bangladesh A with sizzling century LUCAS STREET, Barbados, (CMC) – Jermaine Blackwood further enhanced his growing credentials with a glamorous hundred for the West Indies High Performance Centre against Bangladesh A on the opening day of the first four-day “Test” here yesterday.

The right-hander slammed 140, his second

first class century, to lift WI HPC to 292 all out after they were sent in by Bangladesh A at the Windward Cricket Club.

Leon Johnson chipped in with 56 and Assad Fudadin got 22 but the innings plunged into decline from a strong position of 197 for two, as HPC lost their last eight wickets for 95 runs.

Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam (3-83) and fast bowler Robiul Islam (3-86) finished with two three wickets apiece.

At the close, the visitors were five without loss in the only over possible before umpires called time.

T h e d a y, h o w e v e r, belonged to Blackwood whose innings underlined the HPC’s effort. He struck

Jermaine Blackwood celebrates 23 fours and one six, facing 160 balls in nearly 3-1/2

hours at the crease.

He lost his captain Kraigg Brathwaite without scoring to the fourth ball of the day, caught at the wicket

by Nurul Hasan off Robiul, but then dominated two successive partnerships to revive the innings.

He put on 112 for the second wicket with Fudadin and then followed up with a further 85 for the third wicket with Johnson.

Blackwood, who scored his maiden first class century in the final of the Regional Four-Day Championship last month, completely dominated the first session and was unbeaten on 91 at the lunch

interval.

He reached his half-century off just 29 balls with 12 fours and added six more boundaries and a six – a straight hit off Robiul – as HPC reached 127 for two at the break.

Afterward, Blackwood’s domination continued and he reached three figures off a mere 103 balls in the sixth over after lunch. He was eventually third out in the second hour after the interval with the score on 197.

Johnson then held the innings together in a knock that included seven fours and a six, and which came from 122 balls in 152 minutes.

Bravo gets hundred in practice match CAVE HILL, Barbados (CMC) – Left-hander Darren Bravo warmed up nicely for the first Test against New Zealand with a hundred on the opening day of a three-day practice match against a Barbados Select XI here yesterday.

The 25-year-old hit 124 as West Indies were dismissed for 272 at the 3Ws Oval, UWI Cave Hill Campus.

At the close, the Barbados Select XI were 26 for two, with one wicket apiece for fast bowlers Jerome Taylor and Kemar Roach.

West Indies lost Kieran Powell cheaply for five with the score on ten but Bravo and Kirk Edwards, who stroked an even 50, came together to repair the damage.

Bravo faced 215 balls for his century while the right-handed Edwards spent 114 deliveries over his innings, as they added 134 for the second wicket.

When Edwards fell, Bravo put on another 35 for the third wicket with Marlon Samuels who scored just nine before be-

coming the first of left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican’s five wickets.

Veteran left-hander Shiv Chanderpaul managed a rare first-ball duck while newly appointed West Indies captain Denesh Ramdin got just 12.

The practice game is one of two scheduled for West Indies during their preparation camp which got under way last Friday.

West Indies face New Zealand in a three-Test series starting at Sabina Park in Jamaica on June 8.

Gayle to seek treatment in Germany for back injury CHRIS Gayle has said he will seek treatment in Germany for an injured back to ensure he is fit for the home Tests against New Zealand.

Gayle is eyeing a return to fitness for the first Test in Kingston, which begins on June 8. If he plays, it will be his 100th Test match.

The opening batsman suffered the injury after the World T20 in March and missed a few games for his franchise, Royal Challengers Bangalore, at the start of IPL 2014.

“It started at the end of the T20 World Cup. I thought initially it was a simple thing but I went back home for a couple of days,” Gayle told Indian Express

.”Then I travelled back to Dubai to play in the IPL and when I started training I found it difficult.

I could not bat properly and bending was a problem and sprinting between the wickets was a problem even though you guys don’t see me running much. It was difficult but I tried my best.”

Gayle has been struggling with injuries in the recent past. He last played a Test against India in November 2013. A hamstring injury he suffered in the first ODI against India sidelined him from the rest of the series and West Indies’ tour to New Zealand in December 2013.

He made a return to the

side for the limited-overs matches against Ireland, but missed the ODIs against England in February this year due to lower back pain. If not for all this, Gayle said he would have played his 100th Test “a long time back”.

“It will mean a lot to me,” he said. “I have been serving West Indies cricket for the last 13 years and going on to 14 years now, I am actually looking forward to this milestone. I have missed out on the last couple of months because of injury. I was supposed to get past this milestone a long time back but it didn’t happen. As a cricketer these things happen and you pick up injuries at crucial times.

EAST COAST GUINNESS ‘GREATEST OF DE STREETS’

Peters strike hands Melanie ‘A’ the top prize; ‘B’ team claims third place

Congrats, Melanie!. Captain of the victorious Melanie ‘A’ lineup Dwight Peters smiles broadly as he receives the top prize and trophy from Clive Pellew, Banks DIH’s East Coast of Demerara Guinness supervisor, even as Troy Mendonca (right) and Banks DIH Guinness brand manager Lee Baptiste (2nd from left) look on.

THANKS to Dwight Peters’ 2nd minute goal, backed by stern defence for the remainder of the contest, Melanie ‘A’ needled Beterverwagting ‘B’ 1-0 to claim the top prize of $300 000 when the curtain came down on the Banks DIH/ Petra Organisation East Coast Guinness ‘Greatest of De Streets’ Futsal competi-

tion last Sunday night at the Haslington Market Square.

It was a wonderful night for the boys from Melanie and their supporters, as the ‘B’ team also adorned themselves in glory following their third-place finish, after they themselves had edged out last year’s runners-up Victoria Church Yard United 1-0, prior to the eventual champions win.

Rondell Assanah scored the lone goal in the 14th minute for Melanie ‘B’ who took third place and $100 000 cash prize, leaving Victoria Church Yard United with the fourth place prize of $50 000 and BV ‘B’ with $150 000 for their second-place finish.

However, apart from their bragging rights and spoils, Melanie ‘A’ and BV ‘B’ have also earned for themselves a place in the national playoffs, where they will oppose several other teams who competed out of Georgetown and Linden, with the winner earning the right to represent Guyana in the Caribbean Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ tournament set for Trinidad and Tobago next month.

Georgetown zone champions Queen Street/Tiger Bay, runners-up Stevedore Housing Scheme, third-place finishers Hope Street/Tiger Bay and the fourth-placed Albouystown ‘B’, along with Eagles, Retrieve Unknowns and Scheme, out of Linden, had earlier booked their spots in the national playoffs which will kick off soon.

Sabina Test on course despite lighting KINGSTON Jamaica Urban Development Corporation (UDC) General Manager Desmond Malcolm does not expect work currently being carried out on the instalment of floodlights at Sabina Park to affect the staging of the first Test between the West Indies and New Zealand set for the venue.

The match, which will be opener Chris Gayle’s 100th for the regional side, is scheduled to get under way on Sunday, June 8, and end on Thursday, June 12.

“We have been in constant communication with Sabina Park Holdings, Kingston Cricket Club and the Jamaica Cricket Association in a bid to ensure that the match is not affected by the works,” said Malcolm.

“We also intend to do daily checks so as to ensure that systems such as water and telephone services remain intact, with most

of the work planned to be done around and not inside the venue.

“We, therefore, do not anticipate any disappointments or setbacks.”

Malcolm, whose state agency has oversight responsibility for the project, which is being implemented

by FosRich Lighting and Jentech Consultants, also explained that they are targeting a mid-July completion of the project.

This, he pointed out, should facilitate at least a two-week period of inspection by cricket and other authorities ahead of Jamaica’s scheduled hosting of matches in the Caribbean Premier League.

The country, home of defending champions, the Jamaica Tallawahs, is set to stage matches on July 31, August 2 and August 3.

ON TRACK “We did a site visit recently with the project en-

gineers and managers, and the word is that things are on track,” outlined Malcolm.

“Excavation is almost completed for the anchoring of towers on which the lights will be mounted, while materials to facilitate the construction and erection of the light poles are being imported, and expected by mid-June.

“The completion, therefore, is expected to be by no later than mid-July, which will allow for two weeks of inspection by authorities and the doing of any adjustments necessary.”

The light project was facilitated by a US$2.1 million grant from the government of India to the Government of Jamaica.

The first Test, one of three to be played by the New Zealanders, will see the West Indies hunt a winning start as they seek to avenge a 2-0 series defeat last December in New Zealand. (Jamaica Gleaner)

Protestors attack coach carrying Brazil World Cup players

By Pedro Fonseca TERESOPOLIS, Brazil - (Reuters) - The bus carrying Brazil’s World Cup squad to their first day

of training yesterday was kicked and punched by demonstrators angry at what they consider exorbitant spending on football and not enough on social

programmes.

A small group of striking teachers attacked the bus as it left Rio de Janeiro for the mountain town of Teresopolis, where the squad will be

based during the tournament.

The teachers covered the bus with stickers as Barcelona players Neymar and Dani Alves looked on from inside.

When the bus arrived in Teresopolis, 100km away, another group of around 30 people chanted anti-World Cup slogans.

“This country’s priority shouldn’t be the World Cup, it should be improving health, education, housing and public transport,” said Rui Costa, a striking teacher who helped organise the protest.

Costa said none of the houses promised to victims of a deadly flood in the area that killed around 1 000 people in 2011 had been delivered.

Protesters allied to a far-left political party held up a banner in English that read, “Billions for

the FIFA’s World Cup, No housing for the victims of the heavy rains of 2011. Do you think it is fair?”

The demonstrations ended peacefully but they provided another warning of the potential pitfalls that Brazil faces as it struggles to host football’s biggest extravaganza.

Last year during the Confederations Cup, the dress rehearsal for next month’s tournament, hundreds of thousands of people took to streets across the country to protest bus fare hikes.

The grievances soon expanded to cover a lack of social spending and excess investment in football stadiums.

None of the matches was affected but fans fought with riot police outside the arenas and tear gas was used.

“No one here is rooting against Brazil,” said Alex Trintino, the coordinator of a local teachers’ union.

“This was a symbolic act against a country that doesn’t have money for health and education.”

The 23 players charged with helping Brazil win a record sixth World Cup title will be based at the refurbished Granja Comary complex on the outskirts of Teresopolis throughout the month-long tournament, the first staged in Brazil since 1950.

Most of the players were scheduled to arrive yesterday and undergo a battery of tests before they start physical and ball work on tomorrow.

They face friendlies against Panama on June 3 and Serbia on June 6 and then kick off the World Cup in Sao Paulo against Croatia on June 12.
