New

applications

for passports

on hold
THE Police Immigration Department yesterday announced it
will not be accepting new applications for passports until the
machine readable passport system has been implemented.
It said the machine readable passport is due to be launched 'Tues-
day and no new applications for passports will be accepted until
the system is implemented.
"This is to facilitate the speedy completion of all outsisidint2
applications for passports pending the introduction of the machine
readable passports", the Police Force said.
It said information related to the machine readable passports
will be released to the public soon.
The machine readable passport is in keeping with inter-
national requirements and is designed to improve and
modernise the issuance of passports by the Immigration De-
partment and to strengthen its capability to control illegal im-
S migration.
Officials have said that the aim of obtaining machine readable
- passports is to protect against multiple issuance of the travel docu-
ment to persons under fraudulent identities by maintaining and
checking all passport applications against a database of biometric
information for all passport holders.
The new passport system will also assist in the fight against
terrorism, immigrant smuggling and trafficking in persons.
;- The contract for producing the machine readable passports
was awarded to Canadian Bank Note of Canada.

Diana fascinating for her

contradictions: biographer

By Paul Majendie

ALTHORP (Reuters) After
penning biographies of
Lucrezia Borgia and
Jacqueline Kennedy, histo-
rian Sarah Bradford was re-
luctant to write about Prin-
cess Diana because she
thought of her as a "silly,
neurotic blonde".
By the lime Bradford fin-
ished her book. she had changed

thority.
Gaza and the much larger
West Bank are only about 45 km
(30 miles) apart, with Israel in
between, but they now appear
poised to function as two sepa-
rate territories.
"Gaza. unfortunately at
this stage. is out of the control
of the Palestinian Authority."
Abbas aide Saeb Erekal said.
Western powers imposed an
aid embargo after Hamas came
to power in March 2006 be-
cause it failed to recognize Is-
rael. renounce violence and ac-
cept interim peace deals.
Hamas set tip checkpoints
in Gaza to prevent high-ranking
Fatah officials from leaving the
coastal enclave.
Palestinian officials said
hundreds of Fatah supporters
were allowed by Israel and
Egypt to travel to the West
Bank.
An Israeli army spokeswoman,
said Israel had allowed people to
leave Gaza for the West Bank on a
case-by-case basis.
"I will not live in a Hamas-
run state." said Shadi, a fighter
from Abbas's Fatah faction, af-
ter escaping Gaza for the occu-
pied West Bank through an Is-
raeli crossing point.

WEST BANK TROUBLE
About 50 Fatah gunmen and
200 other demonstrators
stormed a Palestinian parlia-
inent building in Ramallah. The

the princess made such a fasci-
nating subject because of her
contradictions.
"She could be funny, witny.
a lovely friend. She coull sabo
turn on people, she could be
cruel, she could be hysterical."
Bradlord said.
"How did this totally unso-
phisticated girl become a world
figure in 16 years? What she
achieved was remarkable."
Diana was killed in a Paris
car crash almost 10 years ago
and her brother Charles. in his
funeral oration, called the prin-
cess "the most hunted person of
the modern age".
Bradford highlights Diana's
complex personality and par-
ticularly her paradoxical attitude
to fame.
"She found it suffocating
and she wanted a private life.
But the other side of her wanted
the celebrity and she would call
up reporters herself." Bradford
said.
Diana's death prompted
an unprecedented outpouring
of national grief portrayed in
the Oscar-winning movie
"The Queen". "This girl rep-
resented great beauty and a
unique gift for communica-
tion. People felt they owned
her. She was part of their
lives, it could not be true that
she had gone," Bradford
said.

Washington delays passport law

BBC Americans travelling
to the Caribbean, Canada
Mexico and Bermuda have
been given some more time
to get their US passports.
A new US system called
the Western Hemisphere Travel
Initiative, introduced in January.
requires that US citizens have
a passport in order to re-enter
the country when they travel to
these countries.
But it's become bogged
down in bureaucracy and con-
troversy and today Americans
were told they can continue
travelling to these areas, for the
time being without, passports.
On Friday the US House
of representatives voted
overwhelmingly to delay for
17 months the new rules re-
quiring passports for Ameri-
cans airline and cruise ship
passengers.
Up to now Americans trav-
elling to the Caribbean were

only required by regional gov-
ernments to show a pa..port or
driver's licence-
But the US Western Hemi-
sphere Travel Initiative is put-
ting a stop to that.
It requires all Americans
travelling to the Caribbean.
Canada, Bermuda and Mexico to
have a passport to re-enter the
United States.
Caribbean governments and
tourism experts fearing a down-
turn in US tourist arrivals had
lobbied for the requirement to be
delayed.
However the new system,
which took effect in January, has
become bogged down in bureau-
cracy with large numbers of
passport applications and an
equally massive backlog.
Even within the US the new
system has had its critics.
Washington has now appar-
ently bowed to pressure.
The US government an-

nounced today that Ameri-
cans travelling to the region
and the other listed area> can.

ments provided by the US

Amazon river

'longer than Nile'
BBC- SCIENTISTS in Brazil are claiming to have estab-
lished as a scientific fact that the Amazon is the longest
river in the world.
The Amazon is recognized as the world's largest river by
volume, but has generally been regarded as second in length to
the River Nile in Egypt.
The claim follows an expedition to Peru that is said to have
established a new starting point further south.
It puts the Amazon at 6,800km (4,250 miles) compared to
the Nile's 6,695km.

MOUNTAIN SOURCE
The precise length of a river is not easy to calculate and
depends on correctly identifying the source and the mouth.
The new claim in -Brazil follows an expedition by scien-
tists which is said to have discovered a new source for the Ama-
zon in the south of Peru and not the north of the country as
had been thought for many years.
While the exact location has yet to be confirmed from two
choices, scientists say either would make the river the longest
in the world.
Guido Gelli, director of science at the Brazilian Institute of
Geography and Statistics. told the Brazilian network TV Globo
that today it could already be considered as a fact that the Ama-
zon was the longest river in the world-
The Amazon is now said to begin in an ice-covered moun-
tain insouthern Peru called Mismi.
Researchers travelled for 14 days, sometimes in freezing
temperatures, to establish the location at an altitude of 5,000m.
The research was co-ordinated by the National Geographi-
cal Institute of Peru, with the help of their colleagues in Brazil.
There has been a healthy academic debate over the
world's longest river for some years and the claim from
Brazil may not go unchallenged.

CAMOTAN, Guatemala
(Reuters) Thousands of an-
gry Guatemalans beat a
woman to death and set an-
other on fire on suspicion
they had killed a young girl
and stolen her organs to sell
them. police said on Satur-
day.
Nine-year-old Mishel Diaz
disappeared from her home in
Camotan. a town near the bor-
der with Honduras, last Thurs-
day and her mutilated body was
discovered a day later aban-
doned on a dirt track.
Her arm was cut off, eyes
gouged out and body carved up,
with the skin on her chest removed
in what looked like an attempt to
steal her heart and kidneys, said
town police chief Enrique Lemus.
An angry mob wielding rocks
and sticks went house to house
looking for three women they
thought committed the murder.
"Some neighbours said they
saw one woman kidnap the little
girl. That's how they figured
these women were responsible,"
Lemus said. "Then at least
2.000 people went out looking
for them. It was the entire
town."
The furious horde beat 24-
year-old Marciana Recinos to
death in the town square.
Police rescued the other two
women but only after the mob
doused one woman with gaso-

line and set her on fire. She is
now recovering in hospital and
the third woman is in jail.
There is a deep fear in rural
Guatemala of children being
stolen to sell them or their or-
gans for transplants, although
this is often based on rumour
and unfounded stories.
Lynch mobs have killed
hundreds of people in the poor
Central American country since
1996, when it signed peace ac-
cords to end a 36-year civil war
that left a quarter of a million
people dead or missing.
Many experts blame the
vigilante justice on exposure
to violence during the war,
combined with a lack of faith
in the crumbling criminal
justice system. (Additional

Snowstorm strands 6,100

trucks in the Andes
BUENOS AIRES, June 16 (Reuters) Heavy snow in the
Andes left 6,100 trucks stuck on Saturday along the main
mountain pass between Argentina and Chile, a transpor-
tation official said.
The Christ the Redeemer pass, which at its highest point
rises close to 12,500 feet (3,800 metres) above sea level, has
been closed to heavy vehicles for four days and snow kept fall-
ing on Saturday.
"The trucks can't cross because the storm is still going on.
We're only allowing through a few cars with chains," said
Ernesto Arriaga, spokesman for Argentina's highway department.
"On the Argentine side there are about 3,300 trucks stuck
along the pass, but there are another 2,800 on the Chilean side,"
he said.
The steep highway between the cities of Mendoza, Argen-
tina, and Los Andes, Chile, passes beneath Aconcagua, the high-
est peak in the Americas.
It is a major trade route for Asian goods that enter the re-
gion through Chile's Pacific ports. and for Argentine and Bra-
zilian products exported through the same ports.

A refreshing wind

LAST week's agreement by the government and parlia-
mentary opposition parties to cooperate for the creation
of a new national register of eligible voters in time for
next year's Local Government elections marked a de-
fining moment for fostering a new culture in Guyana's
party politics.
The deep-rooted distrust and suspicions, rooted in
a long dispensation of "party paramountcy" and rigged
elections, prior to the restoration of electoral democracy
in 1992, have often resulted in the pattern of both gov-
erning and opposition parties being more prone to jus-
tify their respective positions on various social and po-
litical issues of national importance.
Instead, that is, of patiently and methodically
striving for compromise with a middle ground that serves
for healthy cooperation in the national interest.

It is against that background, therefore, that the
agreement reached for compilation of a new voters reg-
ister, based on house-to-house registration. is a most
welcome, refreshing political wind.
Much credit goes to President Bharrat Jagdeo and
the governing PPP C for taking the initiative for such a
major development in the body politic,. particularly since
difficulties to fund the house-to-house registration had
threatened to prevent such a development.
This observation does not. of course, diminish the
significance of the efforts also played by the major op-
position PNCR and its leader, Mr. Robert Corbin, which
finally led to last week's meeting of all the parliamen-
tary parties in the historic consensus for the way forward
in preparation for the conduct of the long overdue Local
Government poll.
The Guyana Elections Commission is naturally quite
pleased over the agreement reached as it confirms with
its own advocacy for a new register of voters.
The challenge for the commission itself is to work
harder to overcome polarisation resulting from partisan
politics by its .membership that have often impaired effi-
ciency and raised questions about its integrity.
Since 1992 there have been incremental confidence-
building measures to elevate the stature of the

commission in the conduct of free and fair elections, the
results of which have met with favourable endorsements
by local, regional and international observer missions.
Nos, is not the time to revisit an old argument wi
favour of a new Elections Commission. more along the
lines of what exists elsewhere in CARICOM.
For now, the government and the opposition parties
are to be congratulated on tne agreement reached foi
compilation of a new electoral register.

Credibility factor in three coming polls

WHEN what is cynically referred to, at its
beginning, as "the silly season", but re
ally an unofficial national election cam-
paign, the electorate of the country can expect all
manner of accusations, boasts, hilarious talk and
quite surprising developments to capture the
attention of and, hopefully, persuade voters.
While no dates have been announced for elections in three
CARICOM states where they are expected later this year -
Jamaica. Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados there are ex-
amples of this fun. or 'silly' political season being in full
swing with varying manifestations that also raise the issue of
political credibility:
BARBADOS: In this Eastern Caribbean state, where Prime
Minister Owen Arthur is studiously avoiding signalling his
option of a snap poll before Christmas. Opposition Leader
David Thompson has officially launched the Democratic
Labour Party's campaign to prevent a fourth-termn victory by
the incumbent Barbados
Labour Part'y whether
the election is held this year
or delayed for early 2008.
Whenever the election bell
rings, it would be the final duel
between Arthur and Thomp-
lson, If the former succeeds in
securing a history-making suc-
cessiv e fourth h-ler for the
BLP under his Icadership. or
fail to achieve the coveted
prize. it would be his
swansong in Barbadian party
politics.

to an "old carton of milk", whose 'sell-by-date' had long expired,
Thompson was strongly denounced by Atherly.
In a clever bit of political distortion. Atherly equated
Thompson's assessment of the 57-year-old Arthur as an open at-
tack against all "senior folks" in Barbados. those in their 50s who,
he said, the DLP leader views as "a spent force". What a self-serv-
ing interpretation at this unofficial 'silly season'.
TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO: Across in Trinidad and Tobago
Prime Minister Patrick Manning, who could jump ahead of his Ja-
nmaican counterpart. Portia Simpson-Miller, in being the first to an-
nounce an election date. has found himself in an embarrassing de-
fensive position.
It relates to the incident I reported on this past week that
was forced upon him by the public statement of the 20-year-
old daughter of Kareem lbrahim. one of the accused trio of
"terrorists" in the claimed plot to blow up fuel tanks and pipe
lines at JFK airport.

questions about credibility.
There. \\here the incumbent People's National Party
(PNPt is facing the enormous challenge to secure an

surfaced the curious case of a former international beaut\

TWO weeks ago. who would
have thought that our simple,
happy-go-lucky countries of
Guyana and Trinidad and To-
bago would have been
plunged into the deep throes
of a mystery of conspiracy,
plots, intrigue. FBI under-
cover and deadly geriatric
wanna-be terrorists?
Maybe John Grisham might
have given himself a self-in-

to conjure up a plot as thick as
the one that is being perpetu-
ated to the world by the FBI
with the protagonists being
some grand-fatherly type Mus-
lim men who were conspiring to
blow up fuel lines in the hope
of killing thousands of Ameri-
cans.
Needless to say, the alleged
involvement of our nationals in

taken many of us by surprise.
It has shocked us, left us in awe
and sending ripples of disbelief

ever time v.c turned on our
televisions,, to hear CNN. FOX
and the domestic networks in
the U.S. reporting on the sus-
pected terrorists from the Car-
ibbean.
So. it was \ ith much sus-
pense that I sat in the Port of
Spain Eighth Magistrate's Court
along with local, regional and in-
ternational journalists and
scores of Muslim-outfitted men
and women awaiting the arrival
of 56-year old Guyanese Abdul
Kadir and 62-year old
Trinidadian Kareem Ibrahim.
friends of over two decades, into
the prisoner's dock.
As soon as the court cleared
a case \\ here a drug trafficking
suspect agreed to be extradited
and be tried before a U.S. court,
Chief Magistrate Sherman
McNichols called for Kadu- and
Ibrahim to be brought into the
prisoners dock.
And there before me, were
the two suspected terrorists -
two harmless looking elderly
men. bound together by a pair
of silver handcuffs.
To me. they looked like
they couldn't harm a fly. Then
came the reading of that very
serious charge that they were
accused of conspiring to commit
a terrorist act in the U.S.
Nah, couldn't be, was my
initial thought. Who? These
men? They look nothing like
that scary Bin Ladin guy who.
if alive, may be hiding out in
one of the caves in the moun-
tainoIus terrain of Afghanistan.
But then again, I'm hardly
an expert on terrorism or terror-
ists so who I am to judge any-

In the court, Kadir. wearing
a cream-coloured shirt-jack and
matching pants stood straight
and tall before the magistrate.
No signs of emotions, no co\\-
ering. iust a certain calm o cl
him as though he has put this
whole thing in the hands of God.
Also wearing cream-
coloured Muslim outfit includ-
ing cap was Ibrahim, short in
stature who looked a wee bit
confused about his presence in
the court as he tried to commu-
nicate with attorney Rajiv
Persad. one of his defence law-
yers.
With the formalities over,
Kadir and Ibrahim were taken
out the court, awaiting their
transportation to the Remand
Yard.
Outside the court house,
dozens of television cameras
and photographers tried to
squeeze into the small spaces
that would allow them to cap-
ture the two men being led into
a heavily dark-tinted van.
Half an hour later, Kadir and
Ibrahim, still calm and showing
no outward emotion made their
way down to the van, accom-
panied by police officers, as the
cameras zoomed in on them.
Curious onlookers shook
their heads seeing the two so-
called terrorists who made the
international news.
Many expressed doubt that
they could be terrorists...but
they conceded...you never
know...
A day later, more drama as
Guyanese national Abdel Nur
surrendered to the police after

son living next door to the

In comparison to Kadir and
Ibrahim. Nur. in his over-sized
T-shirt and a huge grin on his

face, actually seemed to have
been enjoying being the centre
of attention of the throngs of
television cameras and photog-
raphers.
And with him being the fo-
cus of all. he took the opportu-
nity to let each and everyone
know that he was "set up."
Later, in the court, hlie
told the Magistrate that he
was too poor to afford a law-

would be given legal aid by
the state.
While his case was taking
place in the court. Ibrahim's 21l-

CHOICES usually involve a
price, but people persist in
believing that they can avoid
paying it.
That's what the Indian gov-
erniment thought when it joined
the American alliance system in
Asia in 2005. but now the price
is clear: China is claiming the
whole Indian state of Arunachal
Pradesh. some 83,000 sq. km.
(32.000 sq. mi.) of mountainous
territory in the eastern
Himalayas containing over a
million people.
China has claimed
Arunachal Pradesh for a ccn-
turv: during the Sino-Indian
border war of 1962 Chinese
troops briefly occupied most of
the state before withdrawing
and inviting India to resume ne-
gotiations.
However, most Indians
thought ithe dispute had been
tore or less ended during Chi-
ri'sc prentier Wen Jiabao's visit
w" M"'x' Delhi in April 2005.
when the ides agreed on
"political parameters" for set-
tling both the Arunachal Pradesh
border dispute and another in
the western Himalayas.
Indians assumed that the
new "political parameters"

meant that China would even-
tually recognize India's control
of Arunachal Pradesh. In return,
India would accept China's con-
trol of the Aksai Chin, a high-
altitude desert of some 38.000
sq. kin. (14,000 sq. mi.) next to

Kashmir. And that might.actu-
ally have happened, in the end
- if India had not signed what
amounts to a military alliance
with the United States.
Informed Indians knew per-
fectly well that Wen Jiabao's
visit was a last-minute attempt
to persuade India not to sign a

ten-year military cooperation
agreement with the United
States. Two months later Pranab
Mukherjee, then India's foreign
minister, went to Washington
and signed the thing. Yet most
people in New Delhi managed
to convince themselves that
Wen's concessions during his
visit were not linked to India's
decision about the American al-
liance.
In June 2006 1 spent two
weeks in New Delhi interview-
ing Indian analysts and policy-
makers about India's strategic
relations with the U.S. and
Chini. With less c\ceplions,.
their confidence that India could
"manage" China's reaction to its
American alliance was still \erv
high.
"'India knows what it is do-
ing," insisted Prem ShankarJha.
former editor of the Hindustan
Times, citing confidential
sources close to Prime Minister
Singh. "It is not going to make
China an enemy."
On the face of it, India got
a very good deal in the lengthy
negotiations that led up to the
military cooperation agreement.
It got access not just to current
U.S. military technology but to

the next generation of American
weapons (with full technology
transfer).
The Indian military are pre-
dicted to buy $30 billion of U.S.
hardware and software in the
next five years. They got all
sorts of joint training deals, in-
cluding U.S. Navy instruction
for Indian carrier pilots. And
Washington officially forgave
India for testing nuclear weap-
ons in 1998.
This was the only part of
the deal that got much attention
in Washington, where the Bush
administration \waged a lone
struggle (ontul\ !recoItI con-
cluded) to get Congress to end
U.S. sanctions against c\portingi
nuclear materiaalsand technolo-
gies to India. Stressing the mili-
tary aspects of the new relation-
ship would only rile the Chinese.
who would obviously conclude
that it was directed against
them. Especially since
America's closest allies in the
Asia-Pacific region. Japan and
Australia. have also now started
forging closer military\ relations
with India.
It took a while, but China
was bound to react. Last No-
vember. just before President

Hu Jintao's first visit to India,
the Chinese ambassador firmly
stated that "the entire state (of
Arunachal Pradesh) is a part of
China." This took New Delhi
by surprise, defence analyst
Uday Bhaskar told the Financial
Times last week: "The Indians
had taken the (2005) political
parameters (for negotiating the
border issue) as Chinese accep-
lance of the status quo." They
- should have known better.
It's mostly petty irritants so
far. but they accumulate over
time.

Admiral Surcesh Mehhta,
chief of naval staff, said the ex-
ercise had "no evil intent." and
two Indian warships also spent
a day exercising with the Chi-
nese navy to take the curse off
it but Beijing knows which
exercise was the important one.
Also last month. India can-
celled a confidence-building visit
to China by 107 senior civil ser-
vants. Why? Because Beijing re-

fused to issue a visa to the one
civil servant in the group who
was from Arunachal Pradesh. on
the grounds that he was already
Chinese and did not need one.
A year ago,. Indian foreign
policy specialists were confi-
dent that they could handle
China's reaction to their Ameri-
can deal. In fact, many of them
seemed to believe that they had
taken the Americans to the
cleaners: that India would reap
all the technology and trade
benefits of the U.S. deal with-
out paying any price in terms
of its relationship \ ill its giant
neighbour to the north.
But there was confidence
in Washington, too: a quiet
confidence that once India
signed the ten-year military
cooperation deal with Wash-
ington, its relations with
China would automatically
deteriorate and it would slide
willy-nilly into a full mili-
tary alliance with the United
States. Who has taken whom
to the cleaners remains to be
seen.

bin Naddar, visited the "broth-
ers" with the specific intent to
entrap them in activities "they

agreed to and did not participate

ceedings continue on. I hope all
of us would remember that
these four Caribbean nationals
are innocent until proven guilty

the current labels that the U.S.
has placed on them.
Given what is happening,
practically every other month

to have an open mind on this
one.

Indflia.* The ric~cn-r .f Cho

I

THE concept of social inte-
gration is an ideal-typical
one.
It does not imply that ev-
ery society's members share
precisely the same set of values.
It is argued, however, that con-
siderable consensus must exist
if a society is to withstand di-
versity and cleavage without
breaking down.
Where consensus is at a
minimum, collective social ac-
tion becomes more and more dif-
ficult to achieve and eventually
a state of disintegration or so-
cial disorganization sets in.
Classical sociological theory
reminds us that "religion serves
the central and crucial function
in society of supporting what
has been variously called social
integration, social solidarity, and
social cohesion". Underlying
this proposition is a still more
general one, namely: that in or-
der to maintain itself, every so-
ciety must achieve some con-
sensus around a set of basic val-
ues, an agreement upon ultimate
meaning that affords an appro-
priate basis for social
organisation and common ac-
tion.
Religion has been specially
singled out as the prime force in
the creation and maintenance of
social integration. A number of
scholars have expressed the be-
lief that religion is so important
to social integration that with-

out it. social disintegration
would inevitably follow.
This integrating role of reli-
gion is seen as manifold: One.
through its belief system, it
gives basic support to social
and individual values. Two.
through its rituals, it repeatedly
reinforces identification with and
commitment to these values.
Three. through its systems of
eternal rewards and punish-
ments, it helps to ensure the
embodiment and acting out of
values in behaviour.
In the light of North
America and Central Europe.
and to some degree, even in
Guyana. questions are being
raised about the value of religion
in society; questions of religious
doctrines and its influence on
government policies and the leg-
islature.
Certainly, in these advanced
societies religion plays no longer
a major role in democratic and
post-modern institutions. Me-
dia has become more influential
in shaping values. But we must
not forget that the foundation of
these societies was on religion.
The uprooting of these reli-
gious roots, the ignoring of heri-
tage has contributed to the de-
cline in Western morality which
is leading to nihilism.
Social integration requires
that while we conform to and
practice our various religious
rituals and doctrines, that we

consider the civil responsibility
of preserving religious freedom
amongst our people.
As a Christian leader my-
self. it is my desire to see ev-
eryone believe in Jesus Christ
and accept him as Lord of their
lives. However, because Chris-
tianity is not a religion of coer-
cion, I am constrained to respect

the religious choices of those
within my community.
We therefore do not have to
share the same religious or doc-
trinal position in order to work
together for the good of our
country. Social integration re-
quires that we all work jointly,
not in a religious, but social con-
text, in the area of the common
- the World.
The Church can and should
work with secular organizations
of like-minded purposes to pro-
mote life and freedom and to

oppose injustice and repression
in our societies. If we can de-
fine the parameters for co-bel-
ligerency. then we can seek cre-
ative ecumenism in the market
places of human society. I
would certainly encourage this
in our country. since our religion
is not only good for the hereaf-
ter, but is useful in determining
how well we live
here on earth.
In conclusion. I
reiterate that the
Church cannot es-
S cape its vocation to
participate in gover-

governance and not
necessarily govern-
ment.
The State is not
excluded from the
Sovereignty of God.
The fundamental
question was raised
by Ronald Sider asking "How
can a secular State that is neu-
tral toward religious conviction
recognize the fact that govern-
mental activity and law are fi-
nally accountable to God?"
This is indeed a difficult
question. But the answer to that
is seen in the success or failure
of governments worldwide.
Governments that ignore, re-
press or in any way are antago-
nistic to religious values do not
succeed.
On the other hand, govern-
ments that include, involve, con-
sider religion as an integral part
of governance, benefit tremen-
dously.
Recently, Prime Minister of
Jamaica, Portia Miller, declared
that as a policy, she will include
religious leaders, more specifi-
cally Christian Ministers on all
of her state boards.
I believe that this is an
acknowledgement that reli-
gion is central and critical in
supporting social integration
in any society.

Encouraging social integration

e

Towards a

safer society

By Ron Cheong
PHYSICAL safety and security is an essential element in
any society's sense of well-being.
Many factors contribute to well-being things like health
care, schooling, employment and even the weather. But outside
basic needs for food and shelter safety and security is the most
vital.
Moreover, not only is freedom from violence essential, it is
a basic right in law abiding societies.
But achieving this is no easy task.
No country is entirely free from its share of violent behaviour.
Even the harshest and swiftest punishments effected by the most
totalitarian regimes have not stamped out their problems with
violent crime. Nor have democratic governments been able to stop
murders with the death penalty.
The situation is the same with lesser non-violent offences.
In Saudi Arabia for example, the possibility of losing an arm has
not completely deterred stealing. And in Singapore. judicial can-
ing of vandals has not completely deterred vandalism. This was
clearly demonstrated in the widely publicised 2004 case of Ameri-
can student Michael Fay who, despite the intercession of the
American government, was sentenced to four months and six cane
strokes for vandalising two cars with aerosol paint.
Caning in Singapore, like the cat o' nine tails in Guyana. was
introduced by the British during the colonial era. And countless
numbers have felt the pain of their lash.
Whether administered to punish or to change behaviour, cor-
poral punishment has a history not only in judicial matters but
also in school settings.
But Guyanese are now seriously examining the points for
and against continuing corporal punishment in schools with the
principals ohn both sides of the controversy each making the ar-
gument that the decision has consequences that eventually show
up in the overall level of violence in society.
Advocates of corporal punishment point out that they them-
selves have felt the lash in school and that it has had no lasting
negative effects on them. Some point to studies that draw a
correlation between failure in school and later violent criminal
activity, and make the point by inference, that corporal punish-
ment motivates students to do better and not slip through the
cracks.
They also argue that: punishment maintains discipline in
schools; there would be chaos if it were removed; there is no
effective alternative to it; and there are strict restrictions that
guide its use. Besides a number of states in America and prov-
inces in Canada still permit corporal punishment.
Opponents say that corporal punishment amounts to

A new colonialism?

EU trade demands and ACP countries

(The writer is a business consultant and
former Caribbean diplomat)

THE European Union (EU)
has been pushing African,
Caribbean and Pacific (ACP)
countries to conclude Eco-
nomic Partnership Agree-
ments (EPAs) by the end of
the year, claiming that pref-
erences which they now en-
joy will not be approved by
the World Trade
Organisation (WTO) come
next year.
Now. at last. some govern-
ment representatives in Africa
and the Caribbean are refusing
to be pushed. recognizing that
the terms of the proposed
EPAs could make their countries
worse off than if they relin-
quished the preferences.
In any event, preferential

institutionalized violence
against children. And by its
own example, leads to more
violence as children learn
that it's okay for adults to use
violence against them, they
in turn start inflicting harm
on children smaller than
themselves. Although the
majority of children may pass
through the experience
unscarred, a number of
traunmatised children turn to
criminality.
These are not clear-cut is-
stles. And sometimes the con-
clusio c n we arrive at can seem
contradictory. For example.
notw ilhstanding tlic issues with
lhe brutality of older forums of
corporal punishment, their qucs-
tionable resuIts in altering
behaviors, and whether.corpo-
ral punishment in a school set-
ling ought to be discontinued -
none of this negates tile ultinmate
foriii of punishment. the death
penalty. is a tool of retribution
if that is tihe reasoning behind it.
We would like to believe
that we live in ,a more enlight-
ened lime and thal rehabilitation
is gi\en adequate consideration.
But \\'her) it's all said antd done.
the safety and secutrilv of soci-
ets'y must take precedence.
Communities have to be pro-
tected against criminal acts in
general and violent criminal acts
in particular. Whether perpe-
trated through random acts or
organised criminal activity, vio-
lence eats away at the underpin-
nings of society .
V What then. are some of the
influences that contri bte to de-
terioration in at I and order and
increase the number of violent
criminals and gun toting gang"
members?
'lThe globalisation of culture is
one factor I remember as a otung
boy hearing stories of a sort of
honour among thieves. The line of
the stories w\as that it was a source
of pride among burglars to be able
to boast of the times they broke
into soi e house at night without a
single sound to \\ake anyone and
tow there x \%6" the a big conillo-
lion the next morning i m,,mn thresi-
dents woke up to the shock that
the\ had been robbed.
I also heard stories of pick.
pockets being trained by older
accomplices who hung pants onl
clotheslines and had their

access to the EU market for
two important exports, sugar
and bananas, has already suf-
fered from significant changes to
the terms of entry. Preferences,
therefore, while still important
to small and vulnerable econo-
mies, do not have the same
worth as they did before.
If, on top of this reality, the
EU insists on the further open-
ing up of the markets of ACP
countries to give European com-
panies the right to competition
and government procurement,
local companies could be
squeezed out of their own do-
mestic markets.
The EU also wants trade in
goods and services opened up
on a reciprocal basis. This

charges practice removing a
wallet from the trousers with-
out shaking the leg.
Whether these stories were
completely true or not. these
are the type of legends that in-
dicated the society was gener-
ally of a mind to uphold some
restraint. And it indicated that
this attitude permeated even the
levels on the fringe of the law.
Crime existed then. just as it
does now, but it was generally
of a less violent nature.
The story is very different
now. A part of the problem is
that technology and
globalisation has spawned a
move towards a single global
culture of the lowest con01ion1
denominator, which is exempli-
fied by repetitive gratuitous TV
violence. Those most at risk are
seduced into equalingu the good
life with the glamourised violent
lifestyles portrayed and into
emnulating tile same behaviors.
The situation is further ex-
acerbated by a seemingly abun-
dant supply of semi-automatic
guns and assault rifles that en-
ables the violence. One de-
ranged gunman on the campus
of Virginia Tech could not have
killed thirl-ltwo students andi
wounded ml1any others in April
of this year. if lie was not
varied with two pistols while
tile students were unarmed.
Most of the details of the
large-scale carnage in the above
case were revealed by the exten-
sive media coverage. It more of-
ten happens, however, that one
or twxo victims are gunned down
at a time and the gunmen remain
at large andi unknown, until they
strike again.
What the Virginia Tech in-
cident helps to highlight is the
disproportionate harnita single
gun in the hands of a hardened
criminal can do. whether the
shooting is done all at once or
in several separate assaults. And
when the violence is factored
upwards b\ the number of
weapons out there, the havoc
that can be inflicted on a com-
munit\ is mind-boggling.
Another problem is thie il-
legal drug trade. The question
is not whether drugs should be
legal or not. Gi en than the
la\ s of the country\ deem them
illegal. those la\\ s ha\ e to be en-
forced.
Once a read\ market exists
tor the illegal drugs (or an\

means that the African, Carib-
bean and Pacific regions would
be treated as if they were the
equals of Europe in trade and
investment terms despite the
huge differences in the level of
their development and their fi-
nancial capacity.
In short, the ACP countries
could be swamped by Europe
for despite the talk about "reci-
procity", it simply is not pos-
sible for ACP companies to
compete within their own coun-
tries (let alone in Europe) with
much larger and well resource
European companies.
Indeed, in as much as the
EU countries may not want to
hear it, and they would strenu-
ously deny it, these EPAs could
well be the start of a new era of
colonialism in which the econo-
mies of ACP countries are held
in thrall to European compa-

commodity for that matter) the
underworld will step in to do
what legitimate businesses will
not. And this soon erupts into
turf wars to eliminate competi-
tors and grab more of the huge
amount of money at stake.
Flush with tax-free cash from
the trade, dealers are able to arm
themselves to the hill with pow-
erful weapons that law enforce-
ment officers can barely keep up
with.
Poverty is also a factor. The
consequences of poverty feed
directly into crime and violence.
The inability to find .jobs or op-
portunities produces frustra-
tions that often result in conflict
and violence between people
trapped in the same circum-
stance and clustered inipov-
erished living conditions.
It is a vicious cycle. People
just buelyh able to provide for lthen-
sehces can hardly provide For ihe
schooling of their children. x\\ho
drop out of school early and in tin
arc unable to find decent jobs lor
themselves. This produces lfetile
hunting grounds in which to lind r-e-
Cemits anid foot soldiers for illegal ac-
tivities.
These are some of the is-
sues. among others, behind vio-
lence in society. They are com-
plex and difficult to deal with.
Governments approach the
problems on many fronts in-
cluding: economic policies to
encourage growth and increase
thile number of jobs available:
providing schools. employing
teachers and designing
programmes to turn out stu-
dents ready for the workforce:
police and gun control: sponsor-
ing local culture and values: and
many other initiatives.
But all these efforts are
constantly being undermined bv
one of the very things the cf-
torts seek to alleviate violence
in socict\.
It seems that human inatlire
is such that sonic level of \ io-
lent acts will persist regardless
of the consequence that perpe-
trators face. The challenge is to
keep the levels of violence as
low as possible. Various
organizations are helping
through their programmes and
by raising the level of public dis-
cussion.
It is in the interest of all
law-abiding citizens to con-
tribute in an.% way they can -
to help protect the aspirations
of the greater part of the
community from being hi-
jacked by those who seek to
perpetuate violence on the
society.

nies.
The EU has to recall that as
it is busy fortifying barriers to
migration from ACP countries,

-iR
._ ...- .-i

it should not at the same time
be contributing to conditions of
dislocation and displacement in
which more and more people
have to try to get into Europe
to eke out a livelihood.
Lest it be said that I am un-
mindful of the circumstances of
poor governance in many ACP
countries, and that I am ignor-
ino the need and importance for

adjustment in the economies in
all of them. I acknowledge these
circumstances fully. But. even
with the best will in the world
to address these issues. ACP
countries will be hard-pressed to
do so if they are not given the
breathing space and helped with
the capacity to effect the
changes that are necessary.
The Trade Minister of Bar-
bados, Dame Billie Miller. who
is a seasoned campaigner in all
of the trade negotiations in
which the Caribbean has been
involved, particularly with the
EU and the WTO, made a tell-
ing observation recently. She
declared that regional negotia-
tors remained firmly convinced
that preferential treatment must
be given to small vulnerable
economies and developing coun-
tries, as there is a need to pro-
tect sensitive sectors and indus-
tries from rapid liberalisation.
She went on to say: ""Eu-
rope and the other OECD coun-
tries gave themselves since the
Second World War virtually
the better part of 60 years to
arrive at where they would like
us to be. And they expect us to
do this in 10 to 15 years. It is
just a human and physical iim-
possibility".
Then, a Namibian trade
analyst, Wallie Roux. lost his job
because he suggested that the
EU was trying to browbeat
southern African governments
into signing an EPA before they
had a chance to analyse its con-
sequences. Roux had urged the
SADC governments not to ca-
pitulate to demands that thev

sign an EPA swiftly. He wrote:
"If you are unwise enough to
rush for a deadline w without look-
ing at the content of the agree-
ment. then you are signing away
your life".
Both Dame Billie's remarks
and Mr. Roux's obser nations
point to the growing unease of
ACP countries with the hurried
pace at which the EU wants to
complete the EPAs. There is
clearly a need to pause and to
reflect more deeply on the im-
plications of the proposed agree-
ments. If they are concluded in
haste, they may lead to a long
and troubled period of repen-
tance.
It is not sufficient for the
EU to dangle the threat of the
WTO not extending preferences
over the heads of the ACP
group. The WTO is a creature
of its menmber-states. and surely
if the four regions of Europe,
Africa. the Caribbean and the
Pacific were to make a case for
the extension of current condi-
tions to allow them more time
to conclude agreements, other
countries in the \\'TO would
listen.
And, if they don't, then
perhaps Russian President
Vladimir Putin may be right
that today's international
economic organizations "look
archaic, undemocratic and
awkward" and a new system
is necessary one that is
more sensitive to development
and less obsessed -with
globalisation.

abandon

By Neil Marks
ACTING President Mr.
Samuel Hinds yesterday re-
peated the government's
pledge not to abandon sugar
even though he said the in-
dustry has to balance
sustainability and profitabil-
ity with the need to pay work-
ers a "living wage" and af-
ford them acceptable working
conditions.
"Sugar matters to ev-
ery Guyanese", he said, in ad-
dressing a small crowd at
Enmore, East Coast Demerara,
which gathered to mark 59 years
since five sugar workers, who
became known as the Enmore
Martyrs, were gunned down
while protesting the "cut and
load" system on the plantations
under British rule.
Mr. Hinds noted the ab-
sence from the ceremony of
former President Janet
Jagan, whose husband, late
President Dr. Cheddi Jagan,
was spurred by the sacrifice
of the workers to dedicate his
life to the struggle of
Guyanese people against
bondage and exploitation. His
party, the People's Progres-
sive Party (PPP) survived 28
years in opposition to win the
seat of government at the first

democratic elections, held on
October 5, 1992.
Mrs. Jagan, who
fought side by side with her
husband in the struggle towards
independence and was elected
to the Presidency in December
1997, nine months after Dr.
Jagan died, was not at the cer-
emony at Enmore. but was at a
wreath laying ceremony at Le
Repentir cemetery in
Georgetown, to honour the
memory of martyrs.
The five Enmore sugar
workers killed were:
Lallabagee Kissoon, 30, who
was shot in the back; 19-year-
old Pooran, who was shot in
the leg and pelvis;
Rambarran, who died from
bullet wounds in his leg;
Dookhie, who died in hospi-
tal later that day; and Harry
who died the following day
from severe spinal injuries.
The monument at Enmore,
a short distance from the sugar
factory bears their names on
brass plates adjoined to cut-
lasses.

Space station computer

.crash a mystery
By Irene Klotz
CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) Crews aboard the
space shuttle Atlantis and the International Space Station
revived the third and final part of the station's prime com-
puter network yesterday and scoured the complex for the
cause of the crash.
The computers, which control the station's position in or-
bit, were restored after station commander Fyodor Yurchikin
and flight engineer Oleg Kotov hot-wired the systems to by-
pass suspect power sources.
A test to determine whether the computers could commu-
nicate with each other was pending before the system could be
declared healthy and a departure date set for Atlantis, said
NASA's space station programme manager Mike Suffiredini.
The shuttle currently is scheduled to leave on Tuesday and
land at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida two days later.
An extra day may be added to the mission if more time.is
needed to fix or test the computers on the station, a 16-nation
project that has been continuously manned since November 2.
2000.
Problems with the computer system started on Monday
as astronauts installed the newest piece of the station's exte-
rior spine, a massive beam that holds a pair of solar wing pan-
els and a rotary joint so the wings can track the sun for power.
The computers are German-built but have Russian software.
So far, the best explanation for the crash is a subtle change
in the space environment now that the station's size has grown.
Suffredini said.
As the station flies 220 miles above Earth, it ploughs
through streams of charged particles which create friction and
build up a static voltage charge on the outside.
"As the station gets bigger, this potential continues to
grow," Suffredini said. "I think we're going to find system sen-
sitivities as we change the space station."
NASA, the U.S. space agency, has 12 more major compo-
nents to install on the $100 billion complex before it is fin-
ished. The work needs to be completed by 2010 when the U.S.
shuttles, the only vehicles capable of hauling the large pieces
and assembling them in orbit, are retired.
The Atlantis crew already is staying an extra two days to
get the station ready for the arrival of new laboratories built by
Europe and Japan, which are scheduled for launch in 2008 and
2009.
A fourth spacewalk, scheduled for today, was added after
managers decided to have astronauts fix a protruding insulating
blanket on one of the shuttle's engine pods during the third
spacewalk on Friday.
Engineers were concerned the blanket, which tore free dur-
ing Atlantis' launch on June 8, could leave the shuttle's under-
lying structure vulnerable to heat damage during the plunge
through the atmosphere prior to landing.
During the mission's final spacewalk, astronauts
Patrick Forrester and Steven Swanson will finish work on
the new solar wing's rotary joint and attempt to fix a hy-
drogen vent valve that is needed for a new oxygen genera-
tor.

PRESIDENT Bharrat Jagdeo,

port from the political oppo-
sition in moves to abolish the

PARIS (Reuters) Right-wing French President Nicolas
Sarkozy was set to score a crushing victory in parliamen-
tary elections today, despite a row over his plans for tax
hikes that appeared to have rallied the left.
An eve of poll survey gave Sarkozy's ruling conservatives
and allies 380-420 seats in the National Assembly, a body
Sarkozy must control if he is to implement campaign pledges
to cut tax. boost the economy and slash unemployment.
Some reports said the party was looking to up its seats
from 359 in the outgoing parliament to 400 or more.
Polling begins at 8 a.m. and ends at 8 p.m. when the first
television projections will be known. But only the size of the
right's majority remained in doubt.
Over the two rounds of voting, independent centrists and
extremist panties were likely to be the biggest losers.
The Democratic Moxement of centrist Francois Bavrou was
expected to win just 2-3 seats, the Greens 2-4. the Commu-
nists up to 16 and the far-rieht National Front none.
The main opposition Socialists appeared to have profiled
from the government's bungling of an unpopular value added
tax (VAT) review. But to gain ground they will still need the
votes of centrists and those who abstained last week in record
numbers.
Sarkozv had urged voters to back his agenda for change with
a powerful majority and his energetic start to his presidency
has proven popular with voters and driven the right's campaign.
An Ipsos/Dell poll on Saturday projected Sarkozy's Union
for a Popular Movement (UMP) and its centre-right associates
would win380--120 seat,. below the institute's previous esti-
mate and well short of ith 463 seats suggested by other sur-
ve\ s.
The dip suggested the left had 'truck a chord with voters
over the VAT row and its warnings a large majority would give
Sarkozy unfettered power io push through radical reforms.
"The left at last managed to find a campaign theme." noted
the conservative daily Le Figaro. asking: "\Vill it be enough to
wake up the abstainers who left them short on June 10?"
KING SARKOZY?
Only one of 110 deputies elected outright a week ago was
a Socialist. but the party could still improve on the 149 seats it
held in the outgoing parliament. Ipsos projected the Socialists
and their allies would get 153-195 seats.
Defeated Socialist Segolene Royal topped the presidential

this," the President told report-
ers.
At present, the functions of
both Chief Justice and Chancel-
lor of the Judiciary are being car-
ried out by Chief Justice Mr.
Carl Singh.
The post of Chancellor of
the Judiciary became vacant
when Justice Desiree Bernard
resigned in April last year to
take up a post at the Caribbean
Court of Justice (CCJ).
President Jagdeo con-
tended that since Guyana no
longer has a final court. as the
CCJ was in place, this coun-
try should go the route taken
by the other Caribbean coun-
tries.
He said he raised the issue

with Opposition Leader Robert
Corbin when the two met
Wednesday.
"1 raised it at the last meet-
ing with the Opposition Lcader
(Wednesday). And again. I
probably have to go ahead and
take steps (in appointing a

"I \\as e\plorig that as anll

the President added.
He said immediately after
this happens, a Chancellor
will be appointed and the
Chief Justice (position) will
be amended.

Ethanol boom

fuels prosperity

in rural America
By Karl Plume

NEVADA, Iowa (Reuters) Like many small business own-
ers, Jim Axline has had good months and bad months.
The roller-coaster financial swings at his store, Nevada
Hardware, were an unfortunate-reality of doing business in the
small town of about 7,000 people 40 miles northeast of Des
Moines.
But Axline's fortunes turned about a year ago when a 50
million gallon a year ethanol refinery opened less than a mile
away.
"It's definitely been better. We haven't seen those peaks
and valleys that we used to see," Axline said.
The plant, Lincolnway Energy, processes about 53,000
bushels of truck-delivered corn into ethanol every day, seven
days a week.
The mushrooming U.S. ethanol industry has injected new
life into aging rural Midwest communities that have been bleed-
ing human resources for decades as younger working-age adults
leave the farm behind for larger cities with higher-paying jobs.
"Since the late '70s and early '80s, rural America has been
more or less left behind while overall the economy's done very
well.- said Monte Shaw, executive director of the Iowa Renew-
able Fuels Association.
Ethanol and other biofuels are helping to change that and
represent, according to U.S. Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns,
"the greatest economic opportunity to arrive in rural America
in our lifetime."
By the end of 2006, the renewable fuels industry had added
$8.2 billion, or about 6.8-per cent, to the gross domestic prod-
uct of Iowa, the top U.S. corn producing state, according to a
study by the Iowa RFA.
The industry has created more than 53,000 jobs and boosted
household incomes in Iowa by $1.8 billion, the study found.
ANCHOR INDUSTRIES
"The ethanol plants are good anchor industries that in and
of themselves add a lot to a local community. You also certainly
see some spin-off," Shaw said, citing new truck stops and din-
ecs built near plants to take advantage of the increased vehicle
iraftc.
In one small Iowa town near an ethanol plant, residents were
surprised to see a new home being built, the town's first in 20
year.- w
"It's not a new subdivision, but it's something." Siaw said.
Along with the steady flow of business from the
Lincolnway ethanol plant, Axline said increased highway
traffic and local prosperity due to 10-year highs in the price
of corn. ethanol's main feedstock in the United States, have

-fl-ibuted to the upswing in Nevada's economy.
The ethanol industry has helped raise corn prices by around
60 per cent from a year ago while creating thousands of well-
paying jobs for chemists, engineers, and others.
Pine Lake Corn Processors, a 20 million-gallon-a-year etha-
nol plant in Steamboat Rock, Iowa, about 90 miles northeast
of Des Moines, has helped stabilise the local economy and stem
some of the population flow toward larger cities.
Scott Zabler, the plant's general manager, said modestly, "It's
not going to change Steamboat Rock, but it is going to keep
people from leaving Steamboat Rock."
Ethanol may also help expand the cattle industry in Iowa
due to ample and inexpensive supplies of distillers dried grain.
a by-product of ethanol production that can make up more than
half of beef and dairy cattle feed rations.
POPPING UPALL OVER
Ethanol plants are popping up across the country at a furi-
ous pace, mostly in the corn-producing Midwest, thanks to a
spike in demand after gasoline additive MTBE was phased out
of the U.S. blended fuel supply due to its potential for pollut-
ing ground water.
An ambitious renewable fuels use goal of 35 billion gallons
by 2017 set forth by President George W. Bush to wean the
United States from its "addiction to foreign oil" has further ce-
mented ethanol's future.
The current U.S. ethanol capacity of more than 6 billion
gallons a year may expand by another billion gallons in the net
18 months as more plants come online, according to industry
statistics.
As of late May, there were 119 ethanol plants in operation
in the United States, %\ ith 18 plants under con-tructi.n and eight
undergoing expansion, according to the Renewable Fuels iso-.
ciation.
Early investors in the -sector have reaped healthy profits
and some plants have paid off millions of dollars in debt. But
newer facilities may face some growing pains in coming years.
Some analysts expect ethanol plant margins to tighten by
around 70 per cent over the next two years as rising output
pushes down ethanol priceswhile corn prices remain high.
"There won't be any more free lunches like we had with
MTBE," said Rick Brehm,.president and CEO at Lincolnway
Energy.
Brchm insists that the small- and medium-sized plants will
continue to be competitive with larger corporate-owned plants
that produce 100 million gallons a year or more.
A U.S. ethanol plant's greatest costs are acquiring corn and
some sort of fuel like natural gas or coal to power the process-
ing. Those costs fluctuate with commodity markets. and good
plant management can keep the smaller plants competitive.
Ethanol producers will also try to cut energy consumption
and costs in the future by possibly burning less expensive agri-
cultural residues for fuel.
Some may also expand facilities to convert cheaper nongrain
feedstock,- such as switchgrass or corn stover into ethanol once
the technology 's costs come down.
"A good manager in a small facility would lic able to
withstand any downturn in the in..'kiet'." hrchi. -lid.

Bosai recommences

work on new Linden road

THE majority shareholders
of the Linden bauxite opera-
tions, Bosai Minerals Group
(Guyana) Inc, have recom-
menced work on the new
Washer Pond Road in Linden
which is expected to be com-
pleted by next week, weather
permitting.
This is the second phase of
work on this new section of the
470 metre long road, where two
inches of asphalt were placed
on the newly constructed
stretch and the final coating of
another two inches of asphalt is
being done.
In addition, the bauxite firm
has removed railway tracks
from across the road which

caused some difficulties to ve-
hicular traffic. Work will also be
done to complete the 'by-pass'
end at the Noitgedacht junction
of the new road.
Bosai Personnel Manager,
Mr. Peter Benny. explained that
it was initially part of the de-
velopment plan for the bauxite
plant. where a new crushing
plant was built on the east side
of the road and there was the
washing plant was rehabilitated.
Work on this new road be-
gan under the Omai Bauxite
Mines last year, but a new in-
vestor took over bauxite opera-
tions at the end of the year as
Bosai Minerals Group
(Guyana) Inc became the new

majority shareholders earlier
this year.
This piece of road is being
built to facilitate the tunnel
which was constructed for the
movement of ore by conveyor
belt and pulleys from the east
side of the stockpile where the
new crusher was built, to the
west over the original Washer
Pond Road.
Omai, the previous principal
owners of the Linden operations.
had indicated in June last year that
construction of the stretch of new
road was part of its development
plan for the bauxite industry.
The road project was to
provide a different crossing on
the Washer Pond Road. where

hauling trucks were being used
to take ore over the road, while
being accessed simultaneously
b\ the general public.
This raised serious concerns
about security, with the Interim
Management Committee of the
Linden Town Council and the
Regional Democratic Council
(RDC) of Region 10 holding
discussions on the way forward
for the main and only access
road which eventually leads to
the Mackenzie/Wismar Bridge
crossing.
The original deadline for
the completion of this road
was October last year. and
this was shifted to March this
year.

Message Prepared by Frederick Cox
Executive Director of GRPA for Broadcast on
Sunday, June 17, 2007 on the occasion of
Father's Day 2007
Once again, the world is observing Father's Day, today, Sunday June 17. 2007. This observance is
more relevant today than ever before, as fathers are becoming less and less visible in families,
resulting in n.ihe r; and their children being forced to have to resolve a number of challenges on their
7. own.

However, before I expose myself to being accused of promoting negativism let me take advantage of
. this opportunity to .-n -,,mehing more pleasant to my brothers. So, to all the fathers in Guyana, please
accept my sincere congratulations on your achievement and may this our day, be enjoyable, exciting
and memorable.

I must now urge all men to endeavour to be father r in the original sense of the word. This would mean in the first instance, that every
father will do all that is possible in the interest of the normal growth and development of his children. Further, my Dear Brothers, the
greatest gift of all, that we can give to our o:ffc spring is LOVE. Fortunately, this is one gift, even though incomparable in its value, does
not require much money to obtain and to share. From a Christian perspective, I am reminded of the Parable of the Prodigal Son.
whose father was ready to forgive him of all his misdemeanours and to shower him with acts of love. If love is in abundance in our
hearts and homes, then parents and children will experience only the joys and happiness that life has to offer, even in the face of
challenges. At this point, I would like to appeal to wives and mothers and children t. ,JI e, rIhing in your ability to cause fathers to feel
:iii iri; r .. ire p:rt in .,adi are loved. _-1 hen, fe l like kings today! I, _; h1 1 -it you ,.,-11 b: o:. e IL-,ed iaiier for your effort.

Now, without appearing to assume any form of authority on fathering and parenting, I would like to advise all t ,ier- and male parents
to take the opportunity on this Father's Day to evaluate your performance in the execution of the important roles and responsibilities of
arentihc-d and make a concerted effort to correct the situation where there has been failure and to improve, where there has been
success and achievement. We must ,.:.r :anll) remind ourselves, that. in partnership *. ,!h our spouse, we have an obligation to
society to train or socialise our (r Iren in .-i-,pi :'l. societal norms and values. If we should relinquish those responsibilities, then
,dl.-,: 1., we would be contributing to discord, disunity, and disaster in the family, in the community and in the wider society. In other
words, I am here :, ir the ie, in r.jithe father or male parent who accepts his -,:,ir .'i,,. and carries them :ui "- ifuill nd to

mother.I i T i'i,, more likely that there will be evidence of a r 4,i .-i, f cohesion and -aliii, l:i ryhome.

We. fathers and male parents, must therefore strive towards'.. -,:. role models for our children and others. We must display at all

Zoellick warns Venezuela is heading for trouble

By Noel Randewich

MEXICO CITY, (Reuters) -
Robert Zoellick, almost
certain to be the next head

of the World Bank, yesterday
took aim at Venezuela's leftist
president, Hugo Chavez, warn-
ing that his oil-fuelled socialist
revolution was headed for

Guvana-Suriname border dispute:

Tribunal decision

tentatively set

for August
PRESIDENT Bharrat Jagdeo has indicated that August is
just a tentative date being advanced for handing down the
much-anticipated ruling on the Guyana-Suriname border
dispute.
Alluding to the fact that only the United Nations Interna-
tional Tribunal on the Law of the Sea, based in Hamburg, has
the sole discretion and power to decide what decision to make
and when to announce it, the President last week said the ruling
on the case has been "shifted to a tentative date in August".
It was earlier anticipated that the decision would have been
given during the first quarter or thereabout of this year but there
has been some reported delay in bringing conclusion to the mat-
ter.
"The latest I heard is that it may be shifted to August of
this year...and that again is a tentative date," President Jagdeo
told a news conference at the Office of the President Thursday.
"We had just done an assessment of what we thought was a
reasonable timeframe (and) it is now up to the tribunal," he said.
Following the forceful eviction by Suriname of the oil ex-
ploration company Canada-based CGX in June 2000, claiming
that the company had encroached Surinamese territorial waters
in its offshore drilling, Guyana resorted to take the matter to
the tribunal after bilateral and other negotiations failed to resolve
the issue in a mutually satisfactorily way.
Guyana's legal team pursuing its case at the tribunal is be-
ing spearheaded by Sir Shridath Ramphal, a former Foreign Min-
ister; and comprises Mr. Paul Reichler of the Washington law
firm of Foley Hoag and Dr. Payam Akhavan of Yale Law School.
Sir Shridath had assured that the decision of the tribunal will
be binding and final, ending uncertainty on a matter which, if
allowed to continue, could be detrimental to the development of
natural resources and the economic development of both coun-
tries.
The Government of Guyana officially informed its
Surinamese counterpart on February 24, 2004 of its deci-
sion to pursue the matter at the level of the tribunal to

formed in Region Two
TRI-LAKES Farmers Association, a new grouping, has been
formed by the Amerindian communities on Mainstay/
Whyaka, Tapakuma and Capoey in Region Two (Pomeroon/
Supenaam).
The membership has come together to promote agricultural
development, said Captain Yvonne Pearson of Mainstay/
Whyaka.
She explained that the formation was with assistance from
the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture'
(IICA).

"It's a country where eco-

and as we're seeing also on the
political and press side it's not

Zoellick told reporters during

U.S. President George W.
Bush, a fervent foe of Chavez.
nominated Zoellick to lead the
World Bank, and the former
U.S. trade representative and
deputy secretary of state is ex-
pected to be confirmed before

Chavez has used surging
oil revenues to pay for a so-
cialist revolution in the OPEC
nation and gain influence with
other countries in Latin

America at the expense of the
United States.
He has said he \ ants to

"If a country feels it
doesn't need or want the ser-

cial institutions, that's their
choice." Zoellick said. "I've
found no shortage of countries
interested in trying to work
with the World Bank."
The World Bank would fo-

forward as the candidate of the
United States, which tradition-
ally chooses the head of the in-

No other nominee had been
made as of Friday's deadline,
making Zoellick a shoo-in for
the job at the World Bank.
Chavez is popular among
Venezuela's poor majority
for his efforts to redistribute

international criticism for
treading on the rights of op-

In May. he closed do\L n an
opposition television channel

Heavy spending of oil re\ -
enues has heated up
Venezuela's economy. pushing
the inflation rate to almost 20
per cent and leading the govern-

- CARICOM
By RICKEY SINGH

BRIDGETOWN The Car-
ibbean Community is
"not on a begging bowl mis-
sion" to 'Uncle Sam" (the
U.S.) this week.
That was the clear message
yesterday from
the CARICOM Secretariat as
government and business lead-

ers, diplomats and top techno-
crats of the community head for
Washington this weekend for a
unique three-day meeting in the
U.S. capital starting Tuesday.
President Bharrat Jagdeo,
who has lead responsibility in
CARICOM for expansion and
diversification of the region's vi-
tal agriculture sector, is heading
Guyana's delegation to what is
officially titled the "Conference
on the Caribbean A 20/20 Vi-

sion".
Speaking separately but re-
flecting a similar message, Com-
munity Secretary General
Edwin Carrington and current
CARICOM chairman Prime
Minister Ralph Gonsalves, told
the "Sunday Chronicle" that the
"primary purpose" was not to
plead for more aid though
needed but in forging a
"new strategic and dignified re-
lationship" for social and eco-

nomic advancement.
For the first time in its 34-
year history, the 15-
member regional economic inte-
gration movement would be en-
gaged in separate discussions
with the President of the United
States, representatives of Con-
gress, State Department as well
as officials of the business sec-
tor and internationalifinancial
institutions, consistent with the
envisaged "new relationship"

between CARICOM and the
U.S.
"Security" and new initia-
tives in the areas of trade and
investment to
boost economic development
"for Caribbean prosperity", are
expected to be at the core of dis-
cussions, particularly for the
scheduled two-hour summit
Wednesday at the White House
between President George Bush
and CARICOM leaders.

House of Ways and Means
Committee which is headed by
Congressman Charles Rangel.
viewed both on Capitol Hill and
within CARICOM, as one of
the "longtime friends" of the
Caribbean.
The CARICOM Heads of
Government expect that the
Bush administration would re-
fer to the uncovered "terrorist
plot" to blow up JFK airport to
place a new emphasis on mutual
cooperation on crime and secu-
rity.
However, according to the
CARICOM perspective,
as expressed by some leaders
and officials, the new strategic
relationship being sought with
the U.S. would place security
"firmly within the overall objec-
tives of social and economic de-
velopment" and with a special
emphasis on alleviating poverty
and protecting the environment.
At the discussion that fo-
cuses specifically on combating
international terrorism, the
CARICOM delegation is ex-
pected to raise the outstanding
issue of the failure by U.S. au-
thorities to bring to justice the
Cuban emigre, Luis Posada
Carilles for his role in the 1976
bombing of a Cubana aircraft off
Barbados in which all 75 people
on board perished.
This week's Washington
Conference on the Caribbean in-
cludes a major initiative to
strengthen ties with the expand-
ing Caribbean diaspora in the
U.S. and for which various ac-
tivities have been planned.
The groundwork for what has
been described officially as a "land-
mark event", was laid with a series
of preparatory meetings involving
the CARICOM group of ambas-
sadors in the U.S. capital, working
with the Community Secretariat,
which has provided a significant
"briefing paper", as well as the co-
operation of the Secretariat of the
Organisation of American States.
Approximately 100 Carib-
bean representatives would be
involved in a multiplicity of
meetings organised for the con-
ference for which Heads of
Government are due to
meet for special caucus tomor-
row to finalise common ap-
proaches and priorities based
on briefing documents.
The official plenary session for
the three-day conference begins on
Tuesday morning at the Preston
Auditorium of the World Bank with
the theme: "CARICOM Develop-
ment in the 21st Century Eco-
nomic Growth with Social Equity".
Barbados Prime Minister
Owen Arthur, who has lead
responsibility for arrange-
ments for the CARICOM
Single Market and Economy
(CSME) will deliver the key-
note address on behalf of the
community, while United
States Secretary of Com-
merce Carlos Gutierrez, will
do so for the U.S.

THE Guyana Revenue Au-
thority (GRA) has indicated
that its Value Added Tax (VAT)
and Excise Tax (ET) Depart-
ment is assessing VAT regis-
trants for non-submission of
VAT Returns.
Acting Commissioner of the
VAT and ET Department. Ms.
Hemna Khan said Friday the
move is "in accordance with
Section 33 1 (a) of the VAT Act
where the Commissioner may
make an assessment of the
amount of tax payable in the
event that persons have failed to
lodge a Return by thlie specified
lime."

It said the Acting Commis-
sioner further explained that fol-

lowing the issuance of these es-
timated assessments, the VAT
Registrants will have a period of
20 working days to object. Fol-
lowing this. the VAT and ET
Department will embark on the
next phase of taking necessary\
action to recover the tax as-

Khan emphasised. ho\\Ce\ r.
that the VAT and ET Depart-
ment makes every effort to en-
sure that as much assistance as
possible is offered to registrants
before this action is taken.
GRA also noted that tlhe
percentage of Returns filed Ior
Periods I and 2 has increased
from that on the due date and
as of last week. the compliance
rate for persons who have filed
Returns for periods I and 2 was
more than 95 per cent.
This may be due to the fact

"Mediation will become a
major part of the judicial s\ys-
tenI in the counlri ." he said.
adding that "it will be manda-
tory".
The Chief Justce ;ilso
emphasised the need lor cfonlil

essential attribute of the media

He urged participants to
maintain the same level of en-

Public assistance

review under way

THE Ministry of Labour, Human Services and Social Se-
curity is reviewing public assistance to determine whether
recipients should be given additional assistance and to
verify whether others should be discontinued.
According to the Government Information Agency (GINA).
Deputy Probation and Social Ser\ices Officer Dindyal Singh
said the review, which commenced earlier this month, is done
twice yearly as mandated by the laws of Guyana.
Singh said reviews are conducted prinnarily to keep track
of persons receiving the grants.
From the review, the ministry would be able to determine
recipients' social status: whether there is still need for
government's support and reveal the number of persons who
would have passed the age of eligibility, he explained.
This information is used to update the ministry's Public
Assistance database which has about 18.000 recipients. an in-
crease of more than 2.000 from last year.
Singh said persons are now more aware of the services pro-
vided by the ministry and are coming forward seeking assis-
tance. Public Assistance recipients currently get $2.740
monthly.
During the reviews recipients are asked to present docu-
ments such as their national identification card. passportL birth
certificate and other supporting documents.
The provision of social services from the ministry, is done
through its Difficult Circumstances Unit (DCi'). Persons can
access free spectacles, prostheses, school uniform \ouchers. fi-
nance to start small business, assistance in funera,expenses and
other social services.
The ministry is also responsible for issuing Old Age pen-
sion coupon booklets.
GINA said there are more than 36,000 persons on the
ministry's pension database receiving a monthly grant of
$3,675.

was in the air or on the
greens.
"It could have been a re-
ally low round, but on these
greens? This golf course
doesn't lend itself to a lot of
birdies."
Woods birdied the third
and fourth before parring the
next 13 holes, and was desper-
ately unlucky not to pick up
further shots when several at-
tempts narrowly slid past the
cup.

ONLY BOGEY
He ran up his only bogey
of the round at the par-four
18th after missing the fairway
to the left of the tec.
"I played so hard all day
not to drop a shot and didn't
quite get it donte on the last
hole," said the 31-year-old
American. U.S. Open cham-
pion at Pebble Beach in 2000
and at Bethpage Black in
2002.
"But I'm right there
with a shot at it. Today it
was awfully important to
keep myself within range
and stay close to the lead.
I'm right in the mix."
Woods, who has won two
of the last three major cham-
pionships, is well aware of his
psychological advantage going
into the final round of the bio
events.
"They're going to be deal-
ing with emotions that
they've probably never dealt
with before," he said of his ri-
vals at Oakmont.

rience. I've been there and
I know what it takes."

Twenty20 overkill could w

affect players: Ponting i

By Jamie Alter

WITH the Twenty20 World
Cup round the corner, Ricky
Ponting offered a tempered
endorsement today of
cricket's newest format, say-
ing while the money gener-
ated from this format is ben-
eficial to the game, there is
a danger of overkill affecting
the players.
"I've never been a big fan of
Twenty20 cricket, but I gather
that there's a lot of interest and
money in this version of the
game," Ponting said, "and we
need money for the growth and
development of the game. That
said, the international calendar
is packed these days and on top
of that Twenty20 cricket won't
do much for the players." He
was in Bangalore as part of a
sponsored event for schoolchil-
dren.
The Twenty20 World Cup
will be held in September in
South Africa, and Ponting's
Australia will be heavily
favoured to add to the one-day
championship they retained in
March.
This format of the game
has gained popularity since
its international debut in
2005, when New Zealand
hosted Australia. That win
included, Australia have won
three of the five Twenty20s
they've played.
With a fairly lukewarm re-
action to the recent Afro-Asia
Cup. critics have been quick to
say that there's little to sepa-
rate such games and the hun-
dreds of charity, exhibition and
benefit games thai are played

around the world. Ponting didn't
pick sides to the debate but
agreed that perhaps the sched-
uling of such events should be
revisited.
"They have all got their
place, I suppose. I was having
a chat with Rahul Dravid re-
cently and he told me that this
probably wasn't the best time
to organise such a series. It's the
off-season for some teams and
the weather's pretty hot. Even
the scheduling of India's tour to
Bangladesh wasn't the best; you
had a Test match washed out
there.
We in Australia are fol-
lowing the policy of rotation
and resting the players to
save them from fatigue and
burnout."
It was more than rotation
and rest, of course, that helped
Australia to their third consecu-
tive World Cup title in the Car-
ibbean. Australia had lost five
one-day internationals in a row
leading into the tournament but
turned things around when it
came to the crunch. Ponting
credited this to a strong core
group and belief.
"It was important that I
sat down with all the players
and had a discussion with
them. In New Zealand, we
played good cricket despite
the fact that we were missing
five or six of our main play-
ers.
And in the World Cup our
confidence got going after some
1ood results in the initial games.
especially after we notched up
that victory in the big game
against South Africa."
The team is now in the

hands of Tim Nielsen, who suc-
ceeded John Buchanan as coach.
"He's a respected man", Ponting
said of Nielsen. "and he's done
some very good work down at
the Commonwealth Bank Cen-
tre of Excellence at Brisbane.
The players and I are ex-
cited to work with him. It
should be a good relation-
ship."
Ponting was in Bangalore
earlier last week as a guest of
ING-Vysya to provide tips to
350 schoolchildren. He arrived
on the dais to thunderous ap-
plause from the children, clad in
white, and a few doting moth-
ers.

The kids are thrilled at the
session with Ricky Ponting
Bangalore, last Tuesday. (Yahc

Vaughan labels Botham an 'ins

ENGLAND captain Michael
Vaughan has labelled Ian
Botham an "inspiration" fol-
lowing the news that the 51-
year-old has been awarded a
knighthood.
The former England all-

rounder, who has raised more
than 10m for leukaemia chari-
ties, was named in the Queen's
Birthday Honours list.
"lan was the inspiration for
an entire generation of young
cricketers growing up in the
1980s," said Vaughan.
"But Ian's achievements
go far beyond cricket and this

is richly deserved."
Botham. who played 102
Tests for England, has raised
the vast sum of money mainly
through long-distance walks.
And Vaughan added: "With
the h Ip of his family and
friends, he has devoted an enor-
mous amount of time and en-
ergy to helping those less for-
tunate than himself.
"1 know that he will take
great pride in this."
Former England captain
Graham Gooch told BBC Five
Live: "He's been called a lot of
things down thile ears but 1
think Beefy will suffice.
"It's a well deserved
honour. He's been England's
foremost cricketer of the past
30 years and he's put in all
that hard work and all those
miles for a fantastic cause.
"He's been the people's
champion for cricket and I am
sure he will be celebrating. He
was a cricketer who put bums
on seats.
"The players in the dress-
ing room didn't watch every
minute of play but when Beefy
was batting everyone went out
to watch because there would
always be something happening
when he had a bat in his hand."

And West Indies legend
Sir Viv Richards, a good
friend to Botham and godfa-
ther to his son Liam, told Test
Match Special: "I'm so ex-
cited for him. He's come such
a long way.
"1 liked him the first time I
met him playing at Somerset.
lan was supposed to be the fast
bowler and all-rounder and I was
the West Indies batsman ever -
one had high hopes for.
"I zot out first ball while lan
hit a hundred and when I bow led
1 took 5-23. The roles soon re-
\ ersed.
"Beefy came up afterwards
and made me feel welcome. It
was like 1 had known the gu\
for \ears. He's a wonderful hu-
man being."
David Collier. the chiel \-
ecutive ot the England and \Vale',
Cricket Board. added: "On be-
half of the ECB and cricket
throughout England and Wales
we send our warmest congratu-
lations to lan on this great
honour.
-Ian's contribution to
both the game of cricket and
his charitable works has been
truly inspirational.
"He joins a very select
band.of cricketers whofi-have-

After fielding a volley of
questions from the enthusiastic
emcee including a 'rapid-fire'
round where he was as quick
with his witty responses as he
is on the pull and the media,
Ponting spent close to two
hours with the children in the
nets and off the ground. Ponting
batted against them, turned his
arm over a couple times and the
children were seen listening with
rapt attention to his batting tips.
Talking to these aspir-
ants, Ponting said: "They are
the stars of tomorrow and
I'm happy to see love for
cricket among these chil-
dren." Cricinfo)

w'as an artful display from a
ery intelligent bowler, cut-
ing one back into the left-
bander after testing him with
away-swingers. but it demon-
trated just how bereft of ex-
perience, and skill, West
ndies' top-order is.
Runako Morton briefly
threatened with several bossy
rives but. as he has failed to
o all series, lost his concentra-
on. The top four blown away.
Vest Indies were again relying
n Chanderpaul and Bravo to
ig them out of another sizeable
ole. The two most technically
dept of their top six remained
characteristically calm, the
former driving and cutting a
wayward Harmison while
Bravo nudged, nurdled and
campered quick singles.
Chanderpaul was given a
et-off, however, when on 9 he
dged Hoggard to lan Bell's
right at third slip. It was a
ricky, but not impossible
hance, the type England
would have snaffled two
'ears ago with ease and fur-
her evidence, should any be
needed, that this is a team
very much in a phase of re-
levelopment.
Talking of such things,
Bravo is as instrumental to the
cjuvenation of West Indies
ricket as anyone. Though al-
ways keen to demonstrate his

top four struggled to the swinh.

it Bravo played back and
across, nudging singles to the leg
side and rotating the strike with
Chanderpaul. And when En-
gland dropped it short. as
Harmison and Sidebottom both
did. they were clinically dis-
patched.
Chanderpaul was his usual
resourceful self punishing any-
thing short and wide and sliding
anonymously past 7 000 Test
runs, becoming only the seventh
West Indian to do so.
He really ought to be spon-
sored by a spade manufacturer.
such is the frequency with
which he digs his side out, and
lie has done it again today.
Bad light forced the players
off an hour after tea. before the
rain put paid to any hope of
playing in the late Durham sun-
shine and a familiar gloom envel-
oped the ground.
Chanderpaul and Bravo,
inevitably, hold the key for
West Indies and the forecast
for tomorrow is encourag-
ingly bright. However, as En-
gland well know, not a lot else
lies beyond this pair.

S.America to ask FIFA to

reconsider altitude ban

By Daniel Desantis
ASUNCION, (Reuters) -
The South American Foot-
ball Confederation (CSF)
is to ask world soccer's
governing body FIFA to re-
consider a ban on interna-
tional matches being
played at high altitude.
"Our representatives will
ask for this ruling not to be ap-
plied until an exhaustive analy-
sis has been completed," CSF
general secretary Eduardo
Deluca told reporters after an
executive committee meeting on
Friday.
Doctors from the Andean
countries say than can produce
evidence that playing at high al-
titude does not pose any risk to

the players.
Deluca said the CSF's
decision was unanimous,
even though Brazil and Ar-

EDUARDO DELUCA

gentina have often com-
plained bitterly in the past
about playing matches at

high altitude.
FIFA decided last month to
ban international games at more
than 2 500 metres above sea
level.
The ruling affects mainly
Bolivia, who play in La Paz at
3 600 metres, and Ecuador,
who play at 2 800 metres in
Quito.
Bolivia's only viable alter-
native would be the lowland
city of Santa Cruz while Ecua-
dor would have to play in the
tropical port of Guayaquil.
Ecuador, who had never
previously played at a World
Cup, qualified for the 2002 and
2006 tournaments thanks to
their record at Quito's
Atahualpa stadium where they
are unbeaten for almost six

Twelve matches carded for

IT IS expected that 12
matches will be played today
in the Muslim Youth League
(MYL)-sponsored Hack and

venues across the Coast.
At 09:00 h, Unstoppable

while at Leonora Primary
School ground, Leonora Youths

If matches were allowed at
3 000 metres they could be
played in Bogota. the capital of
Colombia.
Peru. who traditionally
play at sea level in Lima. had
been contemplating moving
matches to high altitude Cusco
in a bid to qualify for the World
Cup for the first time since
1982.
FIFA's decision caused an
outcry in the Andean nations
where the matter has become
a major political issue.
Bolivia President Evo
Morales has led the cam-
paign to have the ruling
overturned and on Tuesday
took part in a kickabout
with aides on a mountain at
nearly 6 000 metres above
sea level.
Morales visited the CSF
headquarters before Friday's
meeting.
"We have come here in the
name of the Bolivian people and
the people of the Andean region
to appeal for ... sporting jus-
tice," he said.
"We ask you with great re-
spect and humility not to ex-
clude or marginalise us."
Earlier on Friday, FIFA
denied a suggestion from a
member of the CSF's medi-
cal committee that it had
lifted the limit to 2 800
metres.

Hamilton seizes second

pole position in a row

By Steve Keating

INDIANAPOLIS, (Reuters) -
British rookie Lewis
Hamilton seized his second
pole position in the space of
a week at the U.S. Grand Prix
yesterday to put more pres-
sure on McLaren team mate
Fernando Alonso.
The 22-year-old, who took
the first pole and win or his
Formula One career in Canada
last weekend. beat the double
world champion to the top slot
on another sizzling day at the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Today's race will be the
third in a row with an all-
McLaren front row.
Championship leader
Hamilton, triumphant in
Montreal as the first black
driver to win a grand prix, leads
Alonso by eight points in the
championship after six races.
"I'm quite surprised to be
honest," he said of his
afternoon's work.
"'I just had to pull it all out

and my two last laps were spot
on ... so I couldn't be happier.
"Getting my second pole is
even better than last week."
After struggling in the
last two races, Ferrari re-

LEWIS HAMILTON
turned to form by sweeping
the second row with Brazil's
Felipe Massa third fastest
and Finland's Kimi
Raikkonen fourth.
The Brickyard has tradi-
tionally provided a happy hunt-

ing ground for Ferrari, having
captured six of seven races
staged at the Speedway since
2000.
BMW Sauber's Nick
Heidfeld was fifth with
Renault's Heikki Kovalainen
sixth.
German teenager Sebastian
Vettcl. who will make his For-
mula One race debut today in
place of Robert Kubica after the
Pole failed a fitness test follow-
in,' his big crash in Canada, will
start se enth for BMW Sauber.

VIDEO GAMES
\'ettel's effort. however.
was overshadowed by another
brilliant performance from
Hamilton.
The Briton. whose only
experience of the track before
Friday was from video
games, quickly came to grips
with the 2.6-mile (4.1-kinm)
layout after some early near
brushes with the Brickyard's
infamous walls.
After dominating all three

free practice sessions and top-
ping the first two rounds of
qualifying. Alonso appeared
poised to shake off his Brick-
yardjinx.
Indianapolis has never
been kind to the Spaniard -
the Speedway being the only
circuit on the current calen-
dar where he has yet to
stand on the podium.
"It's been a good weekend
for me, no doubt," said Alonso.
"I was fastest in PI (first prac-
tice), P2. P3. Ql (first qualify-
ing), Q2 but not the important
one, Q3.
"But being fastest all week-
end gives me a lot of confidence
for today. I think we can have a
strong race and I'm totally con-
fident."
Ferrari looked sharper but
were still not satisfied.
"We are a bit closer but
not enough, we should be in
front," said Massa. "The situ-
ation looks a little bit better
compared to Canada. But it
needs a little bit more."

Spurs MVP Parker

concedes top billing

to Zidane

By Steve Ginsburg

CLEVELAND, Ohio (Reuters)
San Antonio Spurs guard
Tony Parker has the girl, the
championship rings and the
MVP trophy although he does
not have top billing in his
native France.
That, he said, goes to soc-
cer great Zinedine Zidane.
"Zidane is always going to
be the man in France because
soccer is so-popular." Parker
said of the former Real Madrid
playmaker who helped his coun-
try win the World Cup in 1998.
"But. hopefully. French
people can realise what I accoin-
plished three championships
in five years, that's not bad."
added Parker."
He was named MVP of
the NBA finals on '1 nursday
night after scoring 24 points
to lead the Spurs to an 83-82
victory and a series sweep
over the outmanned Cleve-
land Cavaliers.
The title was the third in
tile x-year NBA career for the
25-\ car-old Belgian-born
Frenclhman. liHe won the MVP
aw ai d after a\ raging 24.5
pointB on 57 percent shooting.
Spurs coach Gregg
Popov ch chatted with Parker
on the stiae while the team was
being presented with the cham-
pionship trophy.
"I reminded him that
when we gave him his first

workout, we didn't think he
was tough enough and we
sent him home," Popovich
said.
"And then we set up an-
other interview, another work-
out where we stacked it and
handsome people go after him
physically and he was fantastic
in that one.

ZINEDINE ZIDANE
"I reminded him of that and
he had a big laugh. And I said.
'Now you're standing here on
the stage with the finals MVP
trophy', and he just kept laugh-
ing. He couldn't believe it."
The Spurs owe their
fourth title in the last 11
years largely to a man who
used to watch Michael Jordan
on TV at 3 a.m. in France and
dreamed of playing in the
NBA.
Parker recalled his first

workout as Popovich seethed.
"I was terrible and coach
Pop said, 'I never want to see
him again,' Parker recalled.
"And then I came back and
I did better and they finally
drafted me. And after five
games, he puts me in the start-
ing five.
"It was just like growing
pains. But it was great because
it made me better."
Life is good lfor the diminu-
tive point guard with the film
star looks and a new rap CD
ready to hit the United States.
On July 7, he will marry
Desperate Housewives actress
Eva Longoria but he side-
stepped questions on which ring

he will treasure more that
from the NBA or the one he will

TONY PARKER
receive from Longoria.
"Can't choose," he said.
"Both are very good."

By Keith Holder

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados
(CMC) The West Indies
Cricket Board (WICB) and
the Barbados Cricket Asso-
ciation (BCA). seem to be at
a loss on the whereabouts of
the disciplinary report on
Barbados captain Ryan Hinds
which was apparently sent to
the' BCA office.
This comes as the region
awaits word on whether a pro-
posed two-match ban will be
confirmed on the 26-year old
Hinds for disciplinary infrac-
tions arising from the Carib
Beer Challengec final against
Trinidad & Tobago last Febru-
ary.
WICB chief executive of-
ficer Bruce Aanensen told CMC
Sport on Tuesday that a report
on the matter was sent from ihe
Board's headquarters in Antigua
to Bridgetown after he "fol-
lowed up" with Deryck
Murray, the president of the
Trinidad & Tobago Cricket
Board and a WICB director and
executive member.
But BCA president Tony
Marshall, who is also a
WICB executive member and
director, indicated his office
had not yet received the in-
formation when interviewed
live on the Caribbean Broad-
casting Corporation Sports
programme here on Wednes-
day.

outlined a sequence of events,
having spoken with acting
WICB Chief Cricket Operations
Officer. Tony 'Howard.
"The report has been sent to

Tony Howard, to the Barbados

said.
"It was very late. I had

how soon that can be done,"
Aanensen said.
Asked to outline the pro-
cedure for the hearing of
charges of indiscipline,
Aanensen said: "The match
referee is the person with the
responsibility to interview
the players, to interrogate
the players and make a deci-
sion and then the match ref-
eree is the person with the
authority to sanction players
as he deems fit.
"The report is then sent to
the local board which in this
case would have been the
Trinidad & Tobago Cricket
Board, and then the Trinidad
and Tobago Cricket Board
would send it on to the West
Indies Board, who in turn would
pass it on to the cricket com-
mittee. the selectors and any
other boards which would be in-
volved. which in this case
would be the Barbados Cricket
Association.
"What happened as I said

In his second year as Bar-

the regional powerhouses
convincingly won the Carib

island's record first-class
titles to 20 since sponsored
championships started 41
years ago, in addition to two
International Challenge
cups.
Well-placed sources said the

Hinds as he was rejected as vice-
captain of the West Indies 'A'

ecutive at a meeting in Port-of-
Spain on June 3. after the selec-

Instead, the executive de-
cided to appoint Guyanese bats-
man Narsingh Deonarine as
deputy to retained captain
Sylvester Joseph for the tour
which runs from June 30 to July
26 and includes three four-day
and two limited overs matches.
Although the ban looms
over Hinds' head, it was decided
he would still be in the 14-man

Sir Ian Botham...

Ian Botham honoured

with knighthood

IAN Botham, one of the
greatest cricketers of the
modern era, has been
knighted by the Queen in her
Birthday Honours.
As a player Botham was
one of the rare breed who e-mp-
tied bars whether he was bowl-
ing or batting as he almost al-
ways made something happen.
Since retiring he has raised more
than 10 million for Leukemia
Research with 11 walks in the
UK and Europe.
"I'm delighted that I've
been honoured, not only for
myself but for the people that
have helped me get there," he
told the Press Association.
"My wife Kath organised
most of the walks and this
will be very much a family
celebration.
"1 have been fortunate to
go to the Palace on previous
occasions and I'm excited
about the prospect of going
there. To go there under these
circumiistIances will be a very
proud moment: it 's ver\ nice
to be recognized for what we
have all achieved.

FIDE official dubs

visit a
CHAIRMAN of the Interna-
tional Chess Federation
(FIDE) Commission for Assis-
tance to Chess Developing
Countries (CACDEC), Allan
Herbert, feels that his two-
day official visit to Guyana
was successful.
Herbert was tasked with meet-
ing key stakeholders on Friday and
yesterday to develop the sport of
chess. 'lhe meeting was coordinated
by the Reds Penrrira Sports Foun-
dation.
The chess official had
fruitful talks with Minister of
Culture, Youth and Sport Dr
Frank Anthony, president of
the Guyana Olympic Associa-
tion (GOA) K.A. Juman-
Yassin and members of the
local chess community.
According to Herbert. Dr
Anthony agreed to make a fa-
cility available to the Guyana

success
Chess Federation to be used for
practising.
The Minister also expressed
great interest in establishing a
chess-in-school programme and
committed to provide the tro-
phies for a school champion-
ship. Herbert will jump-start
the event with the donation of
200 chess sets to facilitate the
launching of the programme
through FIDE.
In relation to the GOA,
Herbert said that Yassin saw no
obstacles to affiliate the GCF
once the body is properly re-
constituted and recognized by
FIDE.
In the late 1970s Guyana
was the leading chess-play-
ing country in the English-
speaking Caribbean accord-
ing to FIDE research but the
game has since slid from that
level.

New knight Botham

provides inspiration

for Bravo

By Richard Sydenham

DURHAM, England (Reuters)
- West Indies all-rounder
Dwayne Bravo gained imme-
diate inspiration from pre-
match advice given by
England's new knight Ian
Botham yesterday during a
rain-affected second day in
the fourth Test.
Trinidadian Bravo was 43
not out at the close in partner-
ship with Shivnarine

Chanderpaul (44 not out) as
West Indies reached 132 for four
at the close. The first day was
washed out.
Botham was knighted in
Queen Elizabeth's birthday
honours list published yester-
day for his services to cricket
and charity.
"I saw him at Manches-
ter (in the last match) and
said if it's possible could I
have a word but we didn't
get a chance so we chatted

this morning while it was
raining," Bravo told re-
porters.
"I asked him how he bal-
anced batting and bowling and
whether he has seen .nm ihin% in
my game that he could help me
with. He said to me 'don't let
the situation of the game take
away your natural style' and al-
ways be positive.
"I'm really pleased to
have met him. You read
about these great players
growing up and it's nice to
speak to them and know
what they used to do. 1
chose Mr Botham because

he was an all-rounder like
me and I would like to
emulate him."
Bravo needed to demon-
strate his growing maturity
after coming to the wicket
with his team in trouble and
then faced 20 balls before get-
ting off the mark. His part-
nership with Chanderpaul is
worth 77.
"I was not really too con-
cerned about getting off the
mark," Bravo said. "Coming
in at 55 for four, I said to my-
self here's my opportunity to
get a big one and put on a
partnership with Shiv.

POLICY S: VAT AND IMPORT OF SERVICES

The Value Added Tax (VAT) Act nmaker. certain provisions for the import of services. The following
flofns the uitding, ptinLcipkes for the Gu\ana Re% enue Authority (GRA) as it relates to; he import of
sen -ices.. , .

Under Section 9(1) of the Value Added Tax Act 2005 imports of serve ices, other than exemnpt,.inprts,:
are subjected to VAT. The VAT on import of services has to be paid by the recipient of the ser~Vice.
Import of service for VAT purposes refers to a supply of services to a resident person by a non resident
person; or by a resident person from a business carried on by the resident person outside Guyana.

In order to qualify as an import of ser ice, the service must be utilized in Guyana for purposes other
than to make taxable supplies.

Therefore, if the service is used in the process of producing a taxable activity, it is not considered an
import of service. Hence no VAT will be payable on the liansaction. For example, where a registered
person, \,hoase supplies arc all taxable, utilizes such services in relation to his taxable supplies, such
services will not be considered an import and no VAT ,il I be due on the transaction.

However, where. a person %with exempt supplies utilizes similar services, such person will be
considered to have imported the service and will be required to filean import declarationwith the GRA
(Section 22 of the VAT Act). ... .

Where a person with partially exempt supplies 'imports' services, and scuch ti t es-calriot .be
attributed directly to either his taxable supplies or exempt supplies, the rules ofal rt'i'onrnent will be'
used to delennine what percentage of those services will be subject to VAT. The transaction willbe.

advantage of the humid condi-

According to Khan, letters
have been sent to the Ministry
Culture, Youth and Sport and

Franklin (extreme left) after a

Director of Sport Neil Kunar
has advised that funds are un-
available. A letter was also dis-
patched to the Office of the
President and GABA awaits a
favourable response.
The Amateur Boxing head
stated that the team selected for
the CABA championships has
been training twice daily over
the last three months and if no

participation at the tournament
"the enthusiasm of the young-

The cost to send the 17
boxers and three officials to St

present GABA possesses only

THERE is only one person you really need
to listen to when you're faced with
making a decision YOU.
Remember the last time you were faced with a difficult
decision? Did you agonise over it? Perhaps you talked it over with
friends, or even wrote a list of "for" and "against" to help you
decide. If you had to go through all this before reaching the right
decision, chances are you were not tuning in to your most power-
ful and accurate guidance tool your inner voice.
"We all possess instinct and intuition, which we use daily, even
in the simplest circumstances," explains psychologist Tony Nelson.
"If your boss seems unusually short with you one morning, you're
using your intuition when you decide now is not a good time to
ask her to sign off your holiday request. Learning to listen to your
inner voice is an extension of using this intuition."
"You're most likely to be used to this voice surfacing in
the form of unexplained hunches" says Ellen Hall, author of
Listen to Your Inner Voice (Vega Books). "It will often come
through as a though you can' seem to shake off an unsettling
sensation in your stomach. And that hunch can guide us on

listening.

snap decisions through to the big choices we face over love or
career."
Simone-Braithwaite, a 30-year-old media executive was glad she
listened to an unexplained hunch, even though it meant ending a
:great night out. "I was enjoying a delicious meal with my new boy-
friend when I got a call from my best friend on my mobile. She
said she just fancied a chat and told me not to worry and to get
back to my date.
But something about her voice really niggled me. I knew that
tomorrow would be too late. Plus, my stomach felt so odd. So af-
ter dinner. I drove straight to her house, where I found her in floods
of tears. contemplating ending her life. Her fiance had just dumped
her for the second time. I never would have forgiven myself if I
hadn't listened to my inner voice."
The niggling sensation that had worried Simone was more
than an explained, spooky coincidence. New research by Dr.
Michael Gershon, author of The Second Brain: The Scien-
tific Basis of Gut Instinct (HarperCollins) reveals that we have
a large knot of nerve cells in our stomachs that cause inter-
nal reactions to an emotional situation or decision.

It's as if we have a second brain making our unconscious deci-
sions. These later become conscious in our main brain, which is
why you feel subconsciously you knew something all along.
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
We don't listen to our inner voice as much as we should.
If your self-esteem is low, it' likely you won't believe
you're worth listening to. Instead, you'll let external factors
or other people decide what's best for you. But listening to
your inner voice is the key factor in making decisions. "Of-
ten, your stomach subconsciously registers danger before your
conscious brain does, and it consequently seeks to protect you,"
explains Dr. Gershon.
"You, might jerk backwards slightly without understanding why
or just feels a rumbling in the pit of your stomach."
Ann Johnson, 27, regrets not listening to her inner voice
one evening. "I had to work late, so I didn't' reach my bus
stop until about 10.15pm. I deliberated for a minute over which

rUoad to walk down the busy maIl n roa1 u l til e quiet
residential street I normally took," says Ann.
"Something kept telling me there was a risk on the quiet
road but I forced myself into believing I was just being neu-
rotic. I was wrong because seconds after I started walking down
the quiet road a man cycled past, ripped my bag from my
shoulder and I fell and broke my hand and two fingers. I was
disabled for months."

LOVE LESSONS
"Being in love can make trusting your inner voice much
trickier" says Tony Nelson. "When you're pressured by ex-
ternal influences, such as physical attraction, you're more
likely to quash your inner voice.
You can forget to ask yourself if he's really treating you
well or making you feel good inside."
Being able to tune in to your intuition is a useful asset
when it comes to relationships. But how do you turn up the
volume on our inner emotional guide?
Start by creating more silence in your life. For one
week, set aside five minutes each day to sit still with an
empty mind. Build up to ten minutes and finally 15. The
meditative silence will give you a sense that you're look-
ing after yourself, since within that space you're not wor-
rying about anything except peacefully gathering and fo-
cusing your thoughts. Give yourself space and time to
make the choices you want.
Use an affirmation as a way to tune in to your inner
voice. Try repeating "I believe in me" or "I trust my own
feelings" ten times first thing in the morning and last thing at
night.
Do these for a total of 21 days to re-program your-
self, and you should start hearing your inner voice louder
than ever. It will help you believe in yourself, which
means you'll trust your own feelings more and start trust-
ing them to guide you well.
"Becoming completely engrossed in an enjoyable activity
is, paradoxically, another way to hear your inner voice" says
Nelson.
"The more you do something you enjoy, the more you'll
gain an improved sense of what makes you feel good and
more so what decisions will make you feel good..." Also you
should pay more attention to your dream content. If you have
a dream in which you see yourself in a difficult situation, the
answer may be spoken by yourself or someone else in the
drceim. Recalling this on waking can tap you into your sub-
conscious instinctive guidance.
Imagine never again finding yourself in a situation that you
feel you were pushed into or never feeling you have wasted
your time on a job or man who wasn't worth it. Once you've
taken the time to let your intuition be heard, this is just what
you can begin to expect from life.
Acknowledging and responding to your inner voice means
you're pulling all your choices within your control.
Of course, it doesn't mean that only good things are
guaranteed to come your way, but it does mean you'll feel
perfectly equipped to handle whatever happens.

1886 respectively, is just that a redemption song.
The editor of this book who is a world renown writer, a
cultural historian and academic is no stranger to current trend
of reprinting rare and out of print books. He was instrumen-
tal and has collaborated with various publishing houses on
such ventures.
"Selected Poems of Egbert Martin" edited by David Dabydeen
is significant in a number of ways. Straightway, this publication is
the revival of the poetry of the country's first major poet by the
country's foremost contemporary poet.
Egbert Martin died young but in his short life and still shorter
writing career he was able to produce a body of writing so signifi-
cant to cause a stir more than a century later.
In fact, his "Themes of Song" is frequently performed today.
That apart, and despite efforts by N. E. Cameron and A. J. Seymour,
Martin is a forgotten poet from another era. Martin was writing in
the late nineteen century, a Victorian poet who was a master at
employing the metrical forms of the time, and, oh, what songs he
composed. But he was also ahead of his time for much of his writ-
ing is post-modem in concept as he explored various aspects of
spirituality.
Martin knew what was expected of a poet and he delivered:
"The poet is a magician/The philosopher's stone is his/He takes
into his hands the clay/All shapeless, black, and dull/A mass of base-
less mould/Transformed to purest gold".
He also knew the role of the poet in relation to the society. His
first published collection of poems was criticized on the ground of
being universal, containing too much "goody-goodiness" and the
poet acknowledged "that the opinions were not without founda-
tion".
In response, he produced his second volume, "Leo's Local Lyr-
ics" which was published in 1886. He said that he hoped this col-
lection was "more in accordance ...with public taste", producing
such locally flavoured pieces like "The Sorrel-Tree", "The Creek".
"The Locust Tree" and "The Swallow".
In the poem, "Patria Mea Te Amo", he went to great
lengths in responding to patriotic impulses: "Demerara! dear-
est country/Thou art dearest to me/Tales of hills and streams
of beauty/Cannot steal my love from theel...Conscious of thy
native charms".
The criticism of his first book of poems worked in his favour;
it spoke of a fan club, an audience anticipating further offerings.
The criticism also spoke of in output affecting a wide range of
people. And there is evidence of his influence on the society espe-
cially from the local press. The Daily Chronicle published in
Demerara described Martin as "the ablest of the poetical writers of
whom British Guiana can boast" while the Berbice Gazelltte reported
Martin to be "one whose works plainly b, speak talent and ability
of the highest ord,.c".
Further afi"id, Martin's poetry was admired by Lord Tennyson.
Additionally. he had at least two patrons, men of great influence in
the colony: James Thompson, editor of "The Argosy" newspaper.
and George Anderson Forshaw, mayor of Georgetown. Another
source of support could be found in the preface to "Leo's Local
Lyrics", where Martin mentioned 'a poet friend of mine whose opin-
ion I value very highly'.
Egbert Martin was said to be born around 18 61 and suppos-
edly in Georgetown. What is known about Martin was that while
he lived in East Street. he was confined to an invalid's bed.
At 19. his poetry was first published in a local journal, "The
Colonist". He was a frequent contributor to "The Argosy" and
"Echo".
He died on June 23, 1890. So this reprint and re- launch
of his poetry in June 2007 is marking his 117th death anni-
versary.

Headmaster sacked

over exam papers leak

GTU did not represent member, breached contract

IN 1991, the Guyana Court of
Appeal allowed an appeal
from sacked headteacher
Mohamed Ali after finding
that the Guyana Teachers
Union (GTU) had neglected
to represent him in an alle-
gation of misconduct.
Ali was dismissed by the

[I1WU :

Teaching Service Commission in
July 1983 for alleged miscon-
duct relating to students being
in possession of examination
papers before examination date.
After being accosted, Ali
who declared his innocence, ap-
proached his union GTU for
representation but got none. He
then approached a High Court
judge, who dismissed his mo-
tion.
This resulted in him appeal-
ing to the Guyana Court of Ap-
peal for redress.
The Court of Appeal was
constituted by Justices of Ap-
peal. Cecil Kennard, Aubrey
Bishop and Maurice Churaman.
After hearing arguments
from Mr. Ashton Chase, S.C..
lor the Appellant and Martin J.
Stephenson for the union, the
Appellate Court allowed the
appeal and granted judgment for
Mohamed Ali in the sum of $7.
500.00 with costs to be taxed.
In allowing the appeal the
appellate Court opined that a

successful challenge of the ter-
mination might have led to an
end of the contest. However,
the union remained inactive,
when it should have been bar-
gaining conscientiously for him.
Explaining the duties of a
trade union, the Appellate
Court had said:

1983. the appellant (Mr.
Mohamed Ali), then the act-
ing head teacher of the Bush
Lot Secondary School, West
Coast, in the county of
Berbice, received a letter
from the Teaching Service
Commission terminating his
services, but it disclosed no

tacted the Superintendent of Ex-
amination, the district education
officer, and the Teaching Service
Commission before the (appel-
lant) came to us.
"From these bodies. I learnt
that the Teaching Service Com-
mission had terminated the ser-
vices of the lappellant] on the
recommendations of the Minis-
try of Education, on the grounds
that he had knowledge of the
scandal.
"The lappellantl met the
president, 1st and 2nd vice-
presidents, treasurer and my-
self, all officers of the union at
out office. He told us what had
happened and of the allegations
made. We told him that we had
investigated the matter and be-
cause of the nature of the alle-
gations, it would be a very dif-
ficult case, but we agreed to
represent him."
Justice of Appeal Bishop
disclosed that one year after
the union promised to repre-
sent him, the appellant again
met its officials and, on that

"A trade union has a con-
tractual duty to protect the
interests of a paid-up mem-
ber by conscientiously pursu-
ing any complaint and in-
structions by such members
to the extent that reasonable
persons would conclude that
the relevant issues had been
genuinely examined and in-
vestigated in the best inter-
ests of that member.
If the efforts of the union to
protect the interests of a mem-
ber are neither reasonable nor
conscientious in the light of the
particular facts, the union will
he in breach of contract."
Over 35 decisions have been
considered by the Appellate
Court before handing down its
ruling.
The judgment of the Court
was delivered by Justice of Ap-
peal Mr. Aubrey Bishop. who
later became a Chancellor of the
Judiciary.
According to Justice of
Appeal Bishop, on July 14,

reason for the precipitative
course.
Quite naturally, the appel-
lant, who had been a teacher for
some 19 years, was distraught
and, two days later, went to the
headquarters of his union, the
respondents. He protested his
innocence and demanded to be
represented.
Justice of Appeal Bishop
referred to a narrative of events,
pointing to the existence of a
certain state of affairs, and to
the state of mind of the union
officials in the light of the pre-
vailing factors.
The Justice of Appeal then
quoted the words of Mr. Rich-
ard Persico. Secretary of the
union, who had said:
"In July1983. (the appel-
lant) came to the union with a
letter purporting to terminate his
services. We had heard that stu-
dents of that school had been
found with exam papers before
the examination and that teach-
ers were involved. I had con-

but the appellant's evidence
is to the effect that the

had a claim for the payment
of a gratuity, and advised him
to await word from the union.
The appellant's disappoint-
ment, leading to the present liti-
gation in which he claims (in-
ter alia) damages for breach of
contract, is summarised this
way in his evidence-in-Chief.
"1 went to them Ithe union

and a half years later. I was

said that it was not clear

sent him. Then there is
rule 27 of the union's con-
stitution, upon which I
shall dwell presently.
He added, "Two portions
of testimony (one from the sec-
retary, and the other from the
treasurer, Mr. Dhanpaul Tiwari)
reflect the union's inertia.
First, the secretary: -"We
again spoke with the Ministry
of Education, Teaching Service
Commission and the Superinten-
dent of Examinations and w\e
were assured that the lappellant I
would be heard if he had a case.
I do not know whether he was
heard. The Ministry of Educa-
tion gave us a copy of a report
of investigations carried out by
the police...The lappellant'sl
services were teninated and he
was paid in lieu of notice."
Under cross-examination,
the treasurer, had said: "I do
not know whether the
[appellant] received any
benefits on the termination
of his services. I never
attempted to find out. My job

BY the age of seven, which is
also the age of reason, our
small group of boys and girls
who shared friendship in the
neighbourhood of Shell Road
and Barr Street, Kitty, came
to the pleasant realisation
that our views, or world, was
not defined or going to be de-
fited alone by what was
made. or taught in BG/
.Guyana, but by whatever we
saw or read or heard that was

made anywhere, yet inspired
us to admit its beneficial rel-
evance beyond whatever our
racial origin.
Film posters, brightly de-
signed, comic book covers and
pages were like that. We lived
daily in a world of public art.
Our first art galleries were the
exciting Hollywood Cinema
lobby and Singh's Drug Store on
Shell Road with its lines above
the wooden counter laden with
a staggering display of colourful
Dell and DC comics overlapping

each other.
Sometime in the late half
of the 1950's when as eight
year children we were al-

addmitled that she had unlawfully broken the seal of two packets
olf examination papers. in two different "Ordinary" leIel subject
areas. namely physics and West Indian history. and distributed
them to persons whom she named. She claimed she was influenced
by the appellant.
The police investigator, in his full length, five-page, close-
typed report, devoted only three lines to the teachers alleged
to have been involved. He disposed of them in a less than
summary manner that manifestly assumed their guilt.
From all appearances, he never considered the real possibility
that the self-confessed culprit, Jane Campbell, would have had good
reason to direct blame to others, in order to extricate herself,
minimise her involvement or win the administration's favour in
her moment of anguish.
She would have been seen, in law, as possibly having an inter-
est to serve or protect especially against the background that the
teachers denied complicity in the affair.
After taking all the circumstances, into consideration, the Ap-
pellate court allowed the appeal and granted judgement in favour
of Mohamed Ali.
The Guyana Teachers' Union was ordered to pay taxed costs
to the Appellant.
Justices of Appeal Kennard & Churaman concurred with
the judgment of Mr, Bishop.

Did anyone earn a lisini b nm king such a poster? Of
course they did. Decades later, in the 1980's when stud.ingg
th( history of the HollIyood FilmIn dustry I learnt that hun-
dreds of artists were employed in huge studio warehouses to
create various imaginative posters for endless film coming
from several Hollywood Film Studios. Did this innovative cre-
ative business process have any relevance to life in Guyana?
Or was it only about some irrelevant affluent foreign lifestyle
not meant for us? Who would think that?
Maybe one of the benefits of being a child who had achieved
the age of reason is that what one experiences is grasped directly.
without any interference or procrastination causing doubt when our
commonsense offers us a justified truth.
The glamorous culture of Georgetown cinema fans began to
thrive from an awareness that they belonged to a film society of
pleasure. Each cinema, day and night, gave us opportunities to be-
come carefully and chicly dressed, to meet other fans. to be curi-
ous of each other's thoughts and feelings about the films we had
seen together, perhaps first as anonymous fans, then as people who
became acquainted with each other because of films we saw at cin-
emas where we met.
We began also to admire and feel sort of camaraderie with man-
agement and cinema staffs. We could never grow tired of the ap-
pealing social atmosphere which greeted us when we walked down
cinema aisles as Paul Anka sang "That's the story of my love" or
Paul Mauriat conducted an instrumental melody like "Love is Blue"

etc.
Nothing was disturbing to our ears, our feelings. or our
senses, as our anticipation grew when those cinema windows

I NEW THINKING ON I

IGUM DISEASE I

OCCASIONALLY, topics in the field of dentistry are discussed and new ideas are venti- I
lated at international fora.
I have attended several international learning activities over the years but I distinctly recall a
few years ago for example, leading dentists in Europe met at the first European Workshop on
Periodontology to update themselves on the latest on periodontal (gum) disease.
Some of what came out of that activity was examined.
Periodontal diseases which is commonly called gum disease and which is the principal cause of
tooth loss, represent inflammatory lesions mediated by host-parasite interaction in loss of connec-
tive tissue fiber attachment to the root surface.
Since the cause- effect relationship has been established between the accumulations of bacterial
plaque on the teeth and the development of gingivitis, there is no doubt that plaque is the essential I
factor for initiation of periodontal inflammation and disease.
If plaque is allowed to
accumulate for prolonged
periods of time, it will ma- I V I
dictable pattern. This matu-
ration process may in many, : I q 1 I
but not in all individuals,
lead to progression of some lesions from a localized to a chronic inflammatory response,
the response is characteristic of adult periodontitis.
Local factors, for example, oral hygiene standards, tooth anatomy and position, and the pres-
ence of fillings with and without overhanging margins may influence the maturation process of
plaque by changing the ecological conditions in the sub gingival environment.
Changing conditions in the eco-system may influence the colonization of specific bacteria. So,
your diet has a strong bearing on your oral health status. In some societies, the population has
relatively healthy mouths, not because they observe good oral hygiene, but simply because of
type of food commonly eaten.
Systemic factors, such as hormonal changes during pregnancy, puberty and in diabetes, and
impairment in the immune status (AIDS etc.) may also affect the rate of progression of gum dis-
I ease.
Finally, smoking habits and stress have also been discussed as possible factors of influence. I
While smoking is known to certainly affect the health of the gums, it has not been actually proven
that stress causes gum disease.
Chronic adult periodontitis is obviously a disease with a multifactorial cause and may I
be considered as an opportunistic infection. As opposed to classical infection, the germs are
associated in low proportions with the type of organisms' characteristic for healthy tissue
conditions.
If a change in the ecological environment in the mouth occurs favoring the disease producing I
bacteria, opportunity is given to those germs capable of eliciting the disease process.
Treatment of an opportunistic infection is, therefore, not only directed at the elimination of an
infectious agent but rather, at the alteration of the ecological niche, thereby reducing the propor- I
tion of pathogenic bacteria below the individual's threshold for disease.
It is with this concept in mind that diagnoses of different conditions were discussed.
Consequently, it was envisaged that a certain degree of periodontitis may even be consid-
ered normal in certain patients.
Based in part on age of the patient, four categories were suggested. These are: gingivitis, adult
periodontitis, early on-set periodontitis and necrotising periodontitis.
Each of these conditions do not in general terms cause patients to panic as they may not cause
significant discomfort like say a toothache.
But the overall picture indicates that it is the single most threatening disease for teeth. I

THE website is aimed at women who cannot pay for
surgery themselves

breast implants using personal photos is
unsafe and degrading, say UK cosmetic
surgeons.
The implants are paid for by male "benefactors" who, for a
fee, can access the women's personal profiles, pictures and contact
details.
Myfreeimplants claims any woman over 18 is eligible to join
for surgery.
The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS)
says this is frightening and potentially dangerous.
It is urging women not to use the service, after learning of UK
women who have joined the US website.
The website says women can use aliases, but insists that they
include photos of themselves, which it says is "one of the key
components towards achieving your goals."
Once women have uploaded their personal details, which should
include a list of their physical attributes, such as hair and eye colour,
the website says women can have a one-on-one chat online with
benefactors and sell them "personal items or gifts and more..."
One British woman listed on the website who calls herself Mor-
gan claims to have raised 3,700 from benefactors for her E-cup
surgery.
Degrading
Consultant plastic surgeon and BAAPS President Douglas
McGeorge said: "This is a wholly inappropriate way to proceed
with what should be a serious decision made by a fully informed
patient.
"The site's promise that there are 'no right or wrong' cases is
frightening clearly there is no proper medical assessment of can-
didates, which at best could lead to disappointment, at worst, to
someone's health being endangered."
Adam Searle, consultant plastic surgeon and former presi-
dent of the BAAPS, said: "This is really quite shocking. The
invitation for women to post suggestive photos, sell personal
items and chat with strangers over the Internet in exchange
for a breast augmentation is just plain degrading."

Entertainment giant Sony has apologised to the Church
of England for using Manchester cathedral as a backdrop

Senior Anglicans demanded the removal of

In a statement, Sony said the company "sincerely
apologised" for causing any offence, but added they
believed "they had sought all necessary permissions".

Russians

Russian men are risking death by drinking aftershave and
cleaning agents, a study has suggested.
UK researchers estimated that half of all deaths in working
age men in the country are due to hazardous drinking.
The products, which also include herbal tinctures sold in
pharmacies, are widely available, cheap and contain up to 97%
alcohol, the Lancet study says.
It was found that they contain very few toxins but are deadly
simply because of the extreme alcohol levels.
Russian men have an "exceptionally low" life expectancy
of 59 years, compared with 72 years for women.
Men of working age are three-and-a-half times more
likely to die than men in Britain.
Past studies have shown levels of alcohol consumption
among the Russian population, where spirits such as vodka are
popular, are high.
But the team at the London School of Hygiene and Tropi-
cal Medicine wanted to take into account non-beverage alco-
hol.
They looked at 1,750 deaths in men aged 25 to 54 years in
2003 and 2005 in lzhevsk, a typical Russian city in the West-
ern Ural region.
Family members were interviewed about the drinking hab-
its of the deceased.
High mortality
Hazardous drinking classed as excessive consumption of
regular drinks such as beer, wine and spirits or drinking of non-
beverage alcohol was found to cause 43% of deaths.
Men who drank heavily or who drank non-beverage al-
cohol, were six times more likely to die than similar men
who did not drink at all or did not have a drinking prob-
lem.
Those
who spe-
cifically
drank non-
beverage

were nine

Leon said: "We're talking about things like eau de cologne and
aftershave which are widely available at kiosks and cheaper be-
cause they are not subject to excise duty.
"The important work we have done is the toxicology and
with many of these products all that's in them is water and
ethanol and something to make them smell a bit people are
dying because of the concentration of alcohol in a cheap. readily
available form.
"They should be more strictly regulated."
He said the toll might be even higher as his work only con-
centrated on men who lived with their families.
Andrew McNeill. director of the Institute of Alcohol Stud-
ies said there was a problem with heavy drinking in Eastern
Europe in general.
"it has fluctuated in Russia under Communism. alcohol
was the only thing people could afford.
"Gorbachev tried to sober everyone up but he couldn't su,-
lain it."
He added that rapid economic development in recent years
may have added to the social problems which often underlie
heavy drinking.
"In Western countries, there's a link between alcohol and
health inequalities.
"We don't find much more heavy drinking in poorer popu-
lations but morbidity and mortality tends to be higher because
it compounds other problems."
Dr Jurgen Rehm from the Centre for Addiction and
Mental Health, Toronto, Canada, said that many factors
might have affected death rates in Russia during the time
covered by the study, with non-beverage alcohol "highly
,unlikely to be.the main contributor".

US town set to ban

Town attorney Ted Ayo said
the ordinance expands on the
existing state indecent expo-
sure law by adding underwear
to the list of forbidden expo-
sures.
"This is a new ordinance
that deals specifically with sag-
ging pants," Mr Ayo said. "It's

Five of the world's natural wonders have ..

been nominated for inclusion on the UN

World Heritage List

A biodiversity-rich rainforest in Madagascar and Tenerife's volcanic landscape are among the sites favoured by the World
Conservation Union (IUCN).
A total of 37 natural and cultural sites will be considered by the UN World Heritage Committee.
The committee will make its final decision at its annual meeting, which begins on 23 June in New Zealand.
The prestigious list, co-ordinated by the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco), was set up to ensure the
long-term protection of globally important cultural and natural sites. JEJU volcanic island, Korea
The five locations selected for consideration by the IUCN, an official advisory body to Unesco, are:
South China Karst: described as being unrivalled for the diversity of its karst features a unique underground landscape formed by
water eroding limestone and marble rocks
Rainforests of Atsinanana, Madagascar: home to a unique array of species, 80-90% of which are only found on the island nation.
Deforestation has destroyed more than 90% of the original forest
Jeju volcanic island, Korea: includes a shield volcano that is about 1.2 million years old, and an "impressive and significant"
system of lava tubes (underground tunnels formed by lava flows)
Primeval beech forests, eastern Europe: found in Slovakia and Ukraine, the woodlands are "an outstanding example of undisturbed,
complex temperate forests"
Teide National Park, Spain: situated on the island of' Tenerife. the park was nominated for its "mature, slow-moving and geologi-
cally complex volcanic system"
The IUCN will also pro-
pose that the committee con-
siders taking action to improve
the level of protection for ex-
isting World Heritage sites that
have been identified as being
at risk.
These include the Galapagos
Islands, where the number of Teide National Park, Spain
tourists have increased to more
than 120,000 per year a three-
fold increase over the past 16
years.
The islands were made a

ment used in the production of
rum from the beginnings at Port
Mourant Estate in 1732 to date
and is open to the public on re-
quest.
"Demerara Rum is regarded
as the best rum in the world and
the history of rum making in
Guyana is one of which all
Guyanese can be proud," Carl
Kanto, DDL Chemist and Cura-
tor at the Museum told
Chronicle.
The exhibits range from
equipment, and models of equip-
ment used in rum making from
the 18th century to date, and
display the evolution of the tech-
nology used in making Guyana's
international award winning
rums.
Many exhibits are actual
equipment which had been used
on estates up to the 1940s and
were discarded and which have
been spruced up to give visitors
an idea as to how the rum pro-
duction process has developed
over the years, Kanto explained.
They range from the old-
time one-at-a-time batch produc-
tion of rum stills to the technol-
ogy of continuous production
stills which were developed in
recent years.
Among the major exhibits
are the Coffey Still first built in
1832 and still being operated and
maintained by DDL to produce
its single barrel aged rums with
the attractive aroma and flavor
which has won many interna-
tional awards for years in suc-
cession.
Experts credit the aroma
and fruity flavor of rums such
as the twelve year old and the
fifteen year old Demerara
Eldorado rums to the original
wooden Coffey Still in which
they are blended.
The old wooden coffey.

made of green heart wood, con-
tinues t$ be used in the produc-
tion process to this day. This is
the last operating still of its kind
in the world today, and rum con-
noisseurs attribute the unique-
ness ofj the Demerara rums, to
this still, Kanto said.
In addition, the distillery
makes use of a wooden pot
still for the production of the
very aromatic, flavorful, heavy
rums that are widely sought
the woili over. This still is
again the last operating of its
kind in the world, and the re-
sultant rum, is so very distinc-
tive that rum experts opined
that it is' the wood of the still
that leqds the flavours and
congeners to the rums.
There is also the Savalle Still
built around the same time
which is an exhibit in the Centre
as another important heritage as-
set in the history of rum produc-
,tion in Guyana'.
Kanto said that the technol-
ogy of rum production had
changed but the method of pro-
duction of Demerara rum re-
mained the same as it was done
three hundred years ago.
The unique and traditional
production process of these
Demerara rums have made them
award winners several years in
a row, Kanto said.
These include the
Eldorado range such as the 15
year old special, the twelve
year and five year olds, the
superior white rum, golden
rums, cream liqeurs and the
chocolate cream liqeur.
"The whole idea of our open-
ing the Heritage Centre is to en-
able Guyanese to go back in time
and look back at our long and
proud history of rum production
in Guyana. We want to show and
tell our young people where we
came from," Kanto said.
Exhibits at the air condi-
tioned Museum/Heritage Centre
also includes former products
produced by the DDL and now
no longer in production.

cial. the Carambola Liqeur pro-

the innovations in packaging

Newer exhibits include well

aged in oak barrels and placed in

attractively shled bottles with
labels in both English and Span-
ish.
Other exhibits include pho-
tographs of the processes used
in batch and continuous rum
production and other events of
historical interest to the DDL.
The museum also includes an
Amphitheatre which is used to
show films of the process of dis-
tillation of rum from the by
product of molasses.
"The purpose of the
amphitheatre is to show visitors
how its done without taking
them onto the production floor."
Kanto said.
The Heritage Centre has
been accommodating visitors
since its opening two months
ago. he said. adding that inter-
ested persons can contact DDL
Staff Ms Nayara Singh at 265-
5019.
Kanto said that the DDL
objective is not merely to pre-
serve historical assets of runm
production but also to make
the museum a tourist attrac-
tion where people can visit,
can sample rums and other
products; to add a new dimen-
sion to tourism.
Kanto said that the DDL
envisages a time when one after-
noon each week can be desig-
nated as Open afternoon and
visitors can sample the various
rums and other products for a
small fee.
He stressed that the Heri-
tage Centre is a work in progress
and he appealed to members of
the public who have any item of
relevance to the history of rum
production to donate this mate-
rial to make the museum more
comprehensive.
He said that DDL is inter-
ested in items such as bottles of
products which were made years
ago but are no longer in produc-
tion.
Stuff like those Old Russian
Bear rum bottles, bottles of the
President Speciat 12 year old,
things like these that will help us
to make a clearer presentation
of our proud history of rum
production-
He said that DDL wifl ac-
knowedge these donations by

nors on the exhibits very

wMan in black'

fights for Cameroon apes

BUSH meat is openly for sale across Cameroon.

year-old, fast-
talking Israeli,
is a man with a
mission to save endangered
animals in Cameroon's rich
equatorial forest.
Known as "the man in
black" because of his sartorial
tastes, he slept inside the cage
of the first sick chimpanzee he
rescued from poachers and
nursed it back to life.
He has succeeded in send-
ing scores of wildlife criminals
to jail and shows no sign of
stopping.
"I arrived in Cameroon four
years ago to write an article
about the extinction of endan-
gered animals I still haven't
finished that'article," he told the
BBC News website.
A 1994 wildlife law prohib-
its the sale or trafficking in en-

dangered animal species includ-
ing chimpanzees, elephants, go-
rillas and lions.
Until Mr Drori arrived
and created The Last Great
Ape Organisation (Laga),
nobody had ever been
prosecuted for violating that
law.
That has all changed now.
An average of two people a
month are now either arrested,
imprisoned or fined for violat-
ing the wildlife law.

'Spy network'
Laga spokesman Gudmia
Vincent Mfonfu said that 3,000
gorillas, 400 chimpanzees and
4,000 elephants are killed each
year for commercial purposes in
Cameroon and neighboring
countries.
"If repressive measures
are not taken to control com-
mercial hunting, we risk los-
ing these animals in 10, 15
years," he said.
Laga uses a nationwide web
of "spies" to carry out sting op-
erations, during which sus-
pected wildlife criminals are
cornered, arrested and pros-
ecuted.
The "spies" sometimes
have to pose as buyers or traf.
fickers to help catch the
criminals red-handed so they
get enough evidence to use
against them in court.
"It is dangerous work

sometimes." Mr Drori admits
but adds that someone has to
do it.
Though a wildlife enforce-
ment agency. Laga still needs the
support of the police and offi-
cials of the ministry of wildlife
and forestry to carry out its
mission.

admits
Cadbury has pleaded
guilty to three
offences under food
and hygiene regulations in
connection with a salmonella
scare last summer.
Birmingham City Council
alleged the firm put "unsafe"
chocolate on the market for a
period in 2006, which led to one
million bars being recalled.
Thirty people were af-
fected, the Health Protection
Agency said.
Cadbury will be sentenced
for the offences at Birmingham
Crown Court on 13 July.
Anthony Scrivener QC, en-
tered the pleas on behalf of the
firm during a 10-minute hearing
at Birmingham Magistrates'
Court.
'30m bill'
The company said the bill'
for dealing with the contamina-
tion may reach 30m.
Birmingham City Council is
responsible for enforcing health
and safety laws at Cadbury's
plant in Bournville.
Mr Scrivener told the court
that although certain facts in the
case were still in dispute,

;hygiene

Cadbury accepted its responsi-
bility and was pleading guilty to
the charges.
He added that they had
already spent 20m on im-
provements.
Cadbury was accused of
putting contaminated chocolates
on the market between 19 Janu-
ary and 10 March last year.
Other charges include
the firm failing to immedi-
ately inform relevant au-
thorities about potential dan-
gers and failing to identify
"hazards" posed by the sal-
monella contamination.
Separately Herefordshire
Council is also prosecuting the
company over the state of its
factory near Leominster where
the bars originated.
The charges include not
keeping a drainage pipe and
roof vents in good repair, not
permitting adequate cleaning of
. the premises, inadequate drain-
age facilities, and not carrying
out proper cleaning of the con-
veyors or storage silos.
Each of the six offences car-
ries a maximum penalty of an
unlimited fine and/or two years'

imprisonment.
The company is due to ap-
pear before Herefordshire Mag-
istrates on 24 July.

'We have
apologised'
In a statement released after
the hearing in Birmingham,
Cadbury said: "MstakEnly, we did
not believe that there was a threat
to health and thus any requirement
to report the incident to the au-
thorities we accept that this ap-
proach was inconect.
"Quality has always been
at the heart of our business,
but the process we followed
in the UK in this instance
was unacceptable.
"We have apologised for
this and do so again today."
'The processes that led to this
failure cease from June last year
and wi never bereinstated."
They added that it was in-
appropriate to comment on the
second set of charges brought
by Herefordshire Council.
A major review of global
health and safety procedures
has since taken place. (BBC)

COD LIVER OIL

'treats depression'

It may make the stomach turn, but scientists in Norway suggest that taking a spoonful of
cod liver oil each day could stave off depression.
In a study of almost 22,000 people aged over 40, those who regularly took the oil were less
likely to suffer depression than those who did not
The study in the Journal of Affective Disorders also suggested the longer one took it, the less
depressed one became.
The oil is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids which are linked to various benefits.
Children's brains are said to be boosted by Omega-3s, which have also ee claimed to
reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack and cancer, although some stnies have cast duat
on this.

Other factors
In this latest claim, scientists said a spoonful of cod liver oil could reduce the risk of depres-
sion by as much as 30%.
Depressive symptoms among cod liver oil users was 2.5%, compared to 3.8% in the rest of
the population.
The researchers looked at 21,835 people aged between 40-49 and 70-74 across
Norway between 1997 and 1999.
When compiling their report, they said they also took into account other factorswhich could
impact upon depression, including age. gender, whether one smoked, drank coffee or alcohol, as
well as levels of education and physical activity.
Professor David Kendall said given that fish oil seems to improve cardiovascular health, it may
not be that surprising to learn that healthier people are less depressed.
He did not rule out the idea that fish oil could directly impact poa kpmssMio, bt he
did warn that socido-economic factors did not appear to have been taken hle account in the
study. Richer people, he said, tend to be healthier and have less deprssion.
In the UK, there is growing momentum behind finding alternative treatments for depression,.
amid mounting concern that too many people are being given prescription.drags such as Prozac
after being diagnosed.
Over 31 million such prescriptions were issued in 2006 a 6% rise on the previous
year.

would soon be charged.
She says Laga has made a big difference. especially by pro\ id-
ing evidence for prosecutions.
"They are doing a wonderful job and I say more power to their
elbow."
But not everyone is impressed with the work Mr Drori's wild-
life law enforcement outfit is doing, least of all poachers and bush
meat traders.
Laga "spies". police officials, and eco-guards have been attacked.
"This is part of the work... you must be able to face risk,"
said a female "agent" who has twice been attacked by poach-
ers.
Yaounde Housewife Fankem Doris says she will continue buy-
ing and eating bush meat whatever happens.
"If it is well prepared. I will eat it." said. explaining that it tastes
far better than beef or imported chicken.
She says Laga should stop trying to end an age-old tradition
and adds the campaign will never succeed.
Another woman, though. has changed her eating habits.
"I no longer eat bush meat. no matter the type of animal and
that is thanks to Laga."

International network
Those involved in the lucrative ivory trade include high level
government officials, Americans and Chinese nationals.
Some are just too big for Laga's "spies" to carry out sting op-
erations,to arrest.
A number of military officials have however been arrested
for dealing in banned animal species and that could never have
happened before Laga was created.
Laga also recently helped dismantle an international network
of ivory traffickers that extended from Cameroon to Hong Kong.
"Wildlife criminals are getting sophisticated in their tactics but
we. are making life very difficult for them," Mr Drori says wryly.
Buf why did he stop writing about human rights violations
across Africa to concentrate on animals rights?
MrtDrori replies with an example from his homeland.
In! Israel, we had a river, called the river of crocodiles. There
uare no' onger any crocodites,there now," he says.
' "We now take our children there and tell them we used to.
call this crocodile river but they have since been killed. The
same thing will happen to animals in Africa if nobody fights
to protect them." (BBC).

Gay bomb?

-US military pondered love not war

The US military investigated building a
"gay bomb", which would make enemy
soldiers "sexually irresistible" to each
other, government papers say.
Other weapons that never saw the light of day include one to
make soldiers obvious by their bad breath.
The US defence department considered various non-lethal
chemicals meant to disrupt enemy discipline and morale.
The 1994 plans were for a six-year project costing $7.5m, but
they were never pursued.
The US Air Force Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio.
sought Pentagon funding for research into what it called "ha-
rassing, annoying and 'bad guy'-identifying chemicals".
The plans were obtained under the US Freedom of Information
by the Sunshine Project. a group which monitors research into
chemical and biological weapons.

'Who? Me?'
The plan for a so-called "love bomb" envisaged an aphrodisiac
chemical that would provoke widespread homosexual behaviour
among troops, causing what the military called a "distasteful but
completely non-lethal" blow to morale.
Scientists also reportedly considered a "sting me/attack me"
chemical weapon to attract swarms of enraged wasps or angry rats
towards enemy troops.
A substance to make the skin unbearably sensitive lo sun-
light was also pondered.
Another.idea was to develop a chemical causing "severe and
lasting halitosis", so that enemy forces would be obvious even when
they tried to blend in with civilians.
In a variation on that idea, researchers pondered a "Who? Me?"
bomb, which would simulate flatulence in enemy ranks.
Indeed, a- "Who? Me?" device had been under consideration

-
1- _-

THE unconventional proposals were made by the US Air
Force

since 1945, the government papers say.
However, researchers concluded that the premise for such
a device was fatally flawed because "people in many areas of
the world do not find faecal odour offensive, since they smell
it on a regular basis".
Captain Dan McSweeney of the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Di-
rectorate at the Pentagon said the defence department receives "lit-
erally hundreds" of project ideas, but that "none of the systems
described in that [1994] proposal have been developed".
He told the BBC: "It's important to point out that only
those proposals which are deemed appropriate, based on strin-
gent human effects, legal, and international treaty reviews are
considered for development or acquisition."

The court heard that N r Jones had ended his lonu-terni
but "open relationship" with Monti tow ards the end of Mai
last year.
l'Thc pair remained on good terms and on 30 May she picked

An argument ensued and Mr Jones said there was a struggle
between them.
In his statement. Mr Jones said she grabbed his genitals and

The processing of perishable crops using

SOLAR DRYING

TECHNOLOGY

AS we embrace the challenges of climate
change, the ability to ensure ample sup
ply and access to food will become the
responsibility of everyone.
In order to maximize our potential, solar drying is advocated as
one technique we can use to ensure we preserve and utilize our
foods efficiently.
Drying can be considered as one of the oldest techniques for
preserving agricultural products. It reduces the moisture content in
food to prevent the growth of microorganisms responsible for food
decay. Traditional open air drying is .known to be affected by in-
festation by insects, contamination by dirt, rodents and droppings.
Today, sun drying is a popular method of food preservation in
Guyana. Foods such as: fish, fruits and some vegetables are pro-
cessed using this method, The success of the technique can be at-
tributed to its simplicity and low cost,
Under favourable climatic conditions, good quality products can
be produced. However, where climatic.conditions are unreliable such
as in the hinterland areas of Guyana, losses can be excessive, as
wet and humid weather reduce moisture loss from and affect the
rate of drying. This will subsequently affect the quality of the final
product.
In solar drying, the technique of capturing solar radiation pre-
sents an improved alternative to sun drying. Solar. drying provides
higher air temperature and lower humidity which are conducive to
improved drying rates and lower moisture content of the final prod-
uct.
This results in lower rates of spoilage and inhibition of insect
and microbial attacks. Drying in an enclosed unit e.g. a cabinet also
has the advantage of giving protection against rain, dust, insects,
animals and birds. :
The design of solar driers is usually very simple. Local
materials and labour are readily available and can be used in
construction. To facilitate the drying process, Guyana has an
abundant supply of solar energy that can be trapped for us-
age.
However, in order for splar drying to be successful certain im-
portant factors crop type to be processed, market availability and
requirements, economic feasibility have to be considered. In in-
stances where the market is some distance away from the produc-
tion centers, commodities with high to medium perishability can
be processed using solar drying techniques.
The quality of the final product can be closely monitored
with a strategy for improvement. This will invariably reduce
spoilage rate and financial losses to producers. Exploring the
overseas markets with value added products such as dried or-
ganic products, snack foods, fruit and vegetable powders etc.
can provide favoirble opportunities once good quality stan-
dards are maintained.
In the drying operations, the following steps are recommended
to ensure a good quality product at the end of the drying process.

Hygiene and Sanitation
SliThe need for good hygiene during all processing operations is
crucial. The preliminary preparation of the raw materials involves
processes such as peeling, destoning and slicing.
All unit operations should take place under the most sanitary
conditions. This required that workers uniforms be clean, hands
washedd before commencing the preparation process and the clean-
ing and rninsing in bleach solution of tables, cutting boards and all
utensils.
Ideally, table surfaces should be made of stainless steel: cutting
boards should be of good quality wood or plastic. Those materials
such as brass, iron etc. which will react with acids or cause unde-
sirable chemical reactions with food are not recommended. Uten-
sils should be of stainless steel or of appropriate materials where
available such as plastic or enamel lined.
Also of importance is the health and welfare of the
processors. All individuals involved in processing should be in
good health as is required in good manufacturing guidelines.
Facilities such as washrooms, medical kits etc. should be in
place to cater for workers needs, care and safety.

SELECTION AND
PREPARATION OF
PRODUCE

Selection of raw
material

The best quality produce is
always preferred. However. in
some cases, produce which have
been rejected from the fresh fruit
and vegetable markets for
purely cosmetic features such as
surface scars, shape etc. is ac-

ceptable.
Sorting is very impor-
tant in the production of
high quality foodstuffs.
However, it should be
noted that the operation
can be made easier and
more profitable if correct
harvesting and transport-
ing procedures are fol-
lowed so as not to damage
the produce. Sorting
may be performed at the
time the commodity is re-
ceived at the drying sites,
but it is sometimes done
immediately after cleaning

when the physical charac-
teristics of the commodity
are better exposed. Factors
that may be considered in
sorting are mainly matu-
rity, colour, texture, cuts
and bruises, chemical com-
position, blemishes and
disease infestation. This,
will, ultimately, govern the
acceptability of the final
product.
During sorting, all the
sub-standard produce should
be rejected. Sorting is usually
followed by grading. where
the produce is .sub-divided

into groups based on the de-
sired quality attributes. This
may be done on the basis of
size. For small quantities this
process can be done manu-
ally.
Grading into lots according
to size or shape has the follow-
ing important advantages: Dry-
ing will be more uniform and the
market may pay more for an
evenly sized product -

Washing and
Cleaning
After raw material selection,
the first pre-drying operation is
usually cleaning. The selected
produce should be washed in
clean chlorinated water process-
ing. This washing process serves
to remove surface dirt, insects,
pesticides and other chemicals
that could adversely affect the
quality of the product.
Chlorinated water where
not available or where chlorina-

tion is a problem. may be made
by adding bleach to water
(about 1 teaspoon per 4.5 liter).
The raw material should be
thoroughly rinsed in clean wa-
ter after this treatment.

Peeling
Many fruits, vegetables and
tubers require peeling prior to
drying. Removal of thick skin
aids drying as thick skin pre-
sents a physical barrier to mois-
ture removal. However, care
must be taken not to remove too
thick a layer in case valuable nu-
trients are lost e.g. peeling a
thick layer from potatoes or
ginger removes most of the vi-
tamins and minerals.
Losses can also be high if
peeling is not properly con-
trolled. In most cases manual
peeling using good stainless
steel knives or special; peel-
ers is the cheapest and sim-
plest method.

Coring, Pitting and
Trimming
The object is to remove anv
undesirable part of the fruit. ve.-
etable or tuber. Blemishes, hard
woody cores extra roots should be
removed whe necessary.

Cutting and Slicing
It is necessary to reduce the
size of the fruit, vegetable or tu-
ber to enable drying to take
place in a reasonable time.
Depending on the shape re-
quired by the market, the pro-
duce may be cut into cubes.
slices, strips, rings, shreds and
wedges. Cutting with a sharp
knife is the cheapest and sim-
plest method.
Care should be taken to
obtain pieces with a high de-
gree of uniformity if this is
required for a specific mar-
ket. (Next we will look at

ogy and other issues)

ARIES -- There are lots of opportunities coming \our \\va right no\\. and \ ou wil
definitely want to get involved with many of them. e\en though the. might require
bit of hard work. Entertaining might be a chore to some people, but night no\% it \il
be a delight for vou. Get the boring errands off your plate as much as \ou can toda\
so you'll be better prepared to take on as much as \ou can handle in the upcoming:
days. Your energy is growing,. and you're going to be on a roll'

TAURUS -- All of the unresolved romantic issues in your life are not as confusing tI
vou as they once were -- probably because you are getting a handle on what yot,
want and what you don't want. Someone you know well is going through a similar
growth phase. and would appreciate any insight you can provide. This is a great da\
for sharing dating tips. tricks and ideas -- your creativity is going to help you come
up with new ways of getting close to people.

GEMINI -- It would be good for you to set a few goals today. but try to keep then
as simple and attainable as possible. Right now you need to remind yourself ho\\
capable and smart you are! Your famous ability to be reasonable and flexible will
come in very handy today, so think about making an adjustment that has seemed
somewhat difficult in the past. You are in a phase where you're more willing than
ever to see things from a new and fresh perspective.

CANCER -- If you're focusing on making new beginnings right now, are you
losing site of maintaining old connections? Don't -forget that every step.3ou've
made in the past has led you to where you are now -- and will Thelp you get to
where you need to go. So make time for old friends as well as new friends.
Send a thank-you note to that teacher or mentor who inspired you. Realize
that your life is not just about the future

LEO -- A new person who is entering your life today might not have a naturally
warm personality -- so don't take it personally if your charming nature seems, to have
little or no effect. This person just needs time to get accustomed to a new ,situation
and new people. Give her or him time and space for a few days, and then make an-
other effort to connect. This is definitely not the right time to make anyone feel un-
der any type of pressure.

VIRGO -- Today, even a slight change in your daily routine could put a major crimp
in some upcoming social plans. Your schedule might be flexible, but your friends' sched-
ules definitely aren't. Before rearranging any group plans. make sure you touch base
with everyone and get their buy-in -- even if it doesn't seem necessary. You cannot
assume that they can move their dates around the way you can. If you do. you could
spark some resentment.

LIBRA -- There are two different emotions swimming around in your heart righl
now, and this duality might very well be confusing you to the point of frustration.
It's time for you to slow down and remind yourselfithat you do not have to make
any sort of commitment or decision right this very moment. Move these emotions up
into your head apd turn them into logical thoughts that you can see in a more analyti-
cal way. Getting your emotions organized will help.

SCORPIO -- You are always happiest when the: people you love are happy:
unfortunately, not everyone around you is completely happy right now. You
are usually very good at knowing when someone is putting on a happy face
just to set your mind at ease -- and that is especially true today. So keep an
eye out for someone who seems to be putting on an act. Being in such a strong
intuitive space will enable you to reach out with the words that will cheer her
or him up in no time

SAGITTARIUS -- If you think, that you are completely in charge of-you'
day today, you are in for a big surprise! It won't be another person, an un-
pleasant occurrence or even inclement weather that mucks up the works -- it
will be your unpredictable mood. The worst thing you can do is force your-
self to do things you don't really want to do, or pretend to be enthusiastic
about something when you aren't. really all there. Just go with the flow and let
yourself feel whatever it is you feel

CAPRICORN -- Someone has a few new ideas to share with you today, but will
you have the time to listen'? Try to slow down your normal routine long enough to
hear people who don't normally have enough power or influence to bend your ear.
Yott are one of those rare people who don't judge books hy their covers! Today. keep
that open mind -- especially when someone says something Ilthia ibs outt the wrong
way. There is something there that's worth investigating.

AQUARIUS -- It might not be easy to open up and let someone new into your life.
but things worth doing are often difficult. You sense that you should let down your
guard a little, and you should trust yourself this lime. The doubts and lears will al-
ways be there. but you don't have to listen to them today. Listen to your heart,. and
understand that you are capable of handling the consequences of your action. Life is
yours to sculpt -- he hold and creative!

PISCES -- It is high time you realized that being in love isn't the solution to all ofl
your problems! Stop focusing on w"hat you do not have. and sltant focusing on what

The Passage
With his eyes wet, so that the edges of things were
blurred. Portia was truly like her mother. Years ago
Caisy had walked like that around the kitchen, silent and
occupied. Daisy was not black as he was. Her skin
had been like the beautiful colour of dark honey. She
was always very quiet and gentle. But beneath that
soft gentleness there was something stubborn in her, and
no matter how conscientiously he studied it all out, he
could not understand the gentle stubbornness of his
w ile.
He would exhort her and he would tell her all that
was in his heart arid still she was gentle. And still she
would not listen to6him but would go on her own way.
Then later there were Hamilton and Karl Marx and
William and Portia. And this feel of real true purpose
for them was so strong that he knew exactly how each
thing should be with them. Hamilton would be a great
scientist and Karl Marx a teacher of the Negro race
and William a lawyer to fight against injustice and Portia
a doctor for women and children.
And when they were even babies he would tell them
of the yoke they must thrust from their shoulders the
yolk of submission and slothfulness. And when they
were a little older he would impress upon them that there
was no God, but that. their lives were holy and for each
one of them theie was this real true purpose. He would
,.tell it to them overhand over, and they would sit together
far. away from him and look with their big Negro-chil-
dren eyes at their mother. And Daisy would sit with-
out listening, gentle and stubborn....
Then one night he found that Daisy had pierced
holes in little Portia's ears for ear-rings. And another
time a kewpie doll with feather skirts was on the man-
telpiece when he came home, and Daisy was gentle and
hard and would not put it away. He knew, too, that
Daisy was teaching the children the cult of meekness.
She told them about hell and heaven. Also she con-
Siimced them of ghosts and of haunted places. Daisy
k\ent to church every Sunday and she talked sorrow-
fully to the preacher of her own husb-md. And with
hem stubbornness she always took the children to the
church. too. and they listened.

approximately 400 to 500 words in length. Add what-
ever characters you desire. Write in Standard English.
Da) A story seems very real to the reader if the char-
acters speak for themselves.
b) A story with dialogue (conversation) in it is usu-
ally easier and more interesting to read than one with-
out.
c) Make certain you use your quotation marks cor-
rectly by setting off introductory or explanatory remarks
from the actual quotation with the use of a comma, and
using two sets of quotation marks for quotations that
are interrupted by explanatory words such as he said
or she wrote.

The Passage
Reaching the town, Troy descended into a side street
and entered a pair of gates surmounted by a board bear-
ing the words, "Lester, stone and marble mason". Within
were lying about stones of all sizes and designs, inscribed
as being sacred to the memory of unnamed persons who
had not. yet died.
Troy was so unlike himself now in look, word, and
deed, that the want of likeness was perceptible even to
his oWn, onsciousness. His -thod of engaging him-
self in this business of pu ng a tomb wastbat of

self toconsider, calculate, or onomize. He w ardly

the man who stood in a little office within the yard. "I
want as good a one as you can give me for tWenty-
seven pounds."
It was all the money he possessed.
"That sum to include everything?"
"Everything. Cutting the name, carriage to
Weatherbury, and erection. And I want it now, at once."
"We could not get anything special worked this
week."
"I must have it now."

made ready immediately."
"Very well," said Troy, impatiently. "Let's see what
you have."
"The best I have is this one," said the stonecutter,
going into a shed. "Here's a marble headstone beauti-
fully crocketed, with medallions beneath the typical sub-
jects; here's the footstone after the same pattern, and
here's the coping to enclose the grave. The polishing

the best of their kind, and I can warrant them to resist

"And for how much?"
"Well, I add the name, and put it up at Weatherbury
for the sum you mention."
"Get it done today, and I'll pay you the money now."
The man agreed, and wondered at such a mood in
a visitor who wore not a shred of mourning....

APART from criminal activity, it takes a lot to turn a policeman's head in this unpretentious
northern city. But the sight of the former Miss World, Aishwarya Rai, making her way
through the high street made even the most hardened of officers look twice.

BOLLYWOOD arrived in Yorkshire, northern England and with it lavish
amounts of glamour, excitement, embarrassment and security.
Glamour in the form of some of the most beautiful women in the world descending on the city of
Sheffield for the International Indian Film Awards on Saturday.
Apart from criminal activity, it takes a lot to turn a policeman's head in this unpretentious north-
ern city. But the sight of the former Miss World, Aishwarya Rai, making her way through the high
street made even the most hardened of officers look twice.
Excitement came in the form of large crowds gathering outside the various hotels in the city in the
hope of catching a glimpse of the great and good from Bollywood.

Early arrivals
Sheffield and the neighboring areas of Leeds and Bradford have large British Asian populations,
and there was far more interest this time in the awards than when it was last held in the UK in
London seven years ago.
The venue for the ceremony was sold out days in advance and overspill areas in Sheffield and
Leeds with giant screens showing the proceedings attracted thousands of people.
Embarrassment came in the form of a host of B-list celebrities arriving early for the ceremony in
the hope of being photographed and interviewed by the mass of journalists waiting outside the venue
as the stars arrived.
So immersed in Bollywood culture have Yorkshire people been over the last week, most of
the big names were instantly recognized. But even the most seasoned Indian cinema fan had
difficulties identifying the early arrivals.
The system seemed to work this way: least recognisable actors arrived first in minicabs, followed
by better-known celebrities in Mercedes and Range Rovers. followed by the real big-wigs such as Ms
Rai and her husband Abhishek in limos or Rolls Royces.
Security came in the form of what the local press described as a -ring of steel" around the Hallanm
Arena where the event was staged.

Less formal
The city was at the centre of one of the biggest security operations it has ever seen, with extra
police brought in and fans without tickets not allowed anywhere near the venue.
Huge fencing was placed around the site and its numerous marquees, while the car park outside
was almost exclusively reserved for the cars of the stars and their families.

The awards ceremony itself was far less formal than its American counterpart, the Oscar. Many
of those selected to hand out awards to the winners drew attention to the problems of global warning
rather than talk about the cinema.
And everyone actors, delegates and comperes took the trouble to thank the people of
Yorkshire for staging the event and making it such a success.
Compere for part of the ceremony was Boman Irani, who early in the proceedings tried to warni
up the crowd with his version of the hit song, We Are The World.
That was not a success as most in the audience seemed barely to know the tun'.4uil Mr Irani's
later comedy experiences in which he separately wore a kilt and a British army bearskin hat drew
much more applause.
Another difference was the way in which the winner of each award was named. In the US the four
candidates for the prize are nominated, and then the winner is announced who nonually makes an
emotional speech punctuated by
outbreaks of tears and sentimen- ..
tality.
In the Indian version, the win-
ner is announced immediately, and
most of the winners kept their ac-
ceptance speeches short and
sweet.
From Yorkshire's point of
view. the Bollywood week has
been something of a boon. -
It has brought the county
onto global television, with
hundreds of millions of viewers
watching the ceremony all over' i. 4;3
Sthe world.
It has also brought the area to
the attention of Indian business- .
men. with deals being discussed
over the course of the week that It has been Bollywood week in Yorks ire, with people in
could amount to millions of dol- the county being encouraged to try all things Indian,
lars between the including free Bollywood dancing lessons on the street.
Relations between the
Bollywood community and their Yorkshire hosts have been so warmn over the last week that the king
of the Indian film world. Amitabh Bachchan. is now reputed to have a new way of greeting people.
"Ay up! Now then where are you going?" he was overheard saying in a true Yorkshire
accent.

space of time... a final goodbye" and a thank you to fans. It is thought ex-bandmates
