Many a building in Georgetown has gone up in flames due to the absence of working fire hydrants,Wholesale MLB Jerseys 2018, but this is a situation that the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) and the Guyana Fire Service is working to change.There are about 150 fire hydrants situated in Georgetown, but many are non-functional.

Book: Born to Defend by Howard Randolph HamiltonCritic: Dr Glenville AshbyLawyers are oftentimes the butt of derision, maligned in revolting and?unforgiving terms. Deservedly so, some might argue. But there are a few who have risen above public chastisement, assuming the rarefied status of “People’s Advocates.” One such personage is Howard Randolph Hamilton.Born to Defend?is an autobiography, and more. Hamilton barrels through the early years of his life, offering up the indelible, epiphanical moments that veered his life toward law and jurisprudence raising key questions on Pre-ordainment and Providence along the way.In a prophetically provocative scene, the young Hamilton has his future whimsically divined by his aunt who decodes the pattern of tea leaves. And it is a script that he follows, ever poised to defend his young mates who are unjustly assailed. He becomes consumed by a sense of righteous indignation, of seeking justice when he too is wrongly accused and punished for a purported indiscretion.Really, not much is needed for the reader to grasp the authenticity of the man. Hamilton speaks from the heart. His recollection of his youth is unadulterated and unfettered by designations and letters. And quite frankly, from its opening salvo,?Born to Defend?scores on multiple levels.“Defend”?is written with perspicacity, offering unique insights into the legal profession. Lay persons and lawyers alike will better grasp the constitution of the consummate professional mind. Judicial and legal nuances are outlined and some legal jargon is introduced to the uninitiated. Snap shots of key watershed cases are presented and?acquittals abound with only a single nolle prosequi (nolle prossed), despite the preponderance of evidence favouring the State.The reader peers into Jamaica’s judicial system with greater clarity. The politically powerful and the disenfranchised are defended equally. Some of the presentations rivet. Here,?”The Hippie Murder Case (Hanover)?comes to mind, while others are painfully graphic, such as?Belmont Six (Westmorland),?and The Potter’s Row Murder (Kingston).Hamilton’s winning streak must be attributed to his wit, determination and sagacity. More importantly, though, is his humanity. He is an advocate for justice and human rights.Early in his career, Hamilton balked at defending an accused in an emotionally charged case involving the execution of a public official. In?”Innocent until proven Guilty,” he revisits the moment when approached by the defendant’s girlfriend. He is disquieted and trepidation grips him:?”I panicked…I did not wish to have anything to do with that case. Horrified as I was like the rest of the nation, my mind raced to find a legitimate reason I could not accept…but could not find one.”His initial interview with the defendant may well be the crux of?Born to Defend, and the window to his soul. Revealing that he was unable to accept his case, Hamilton vividly relates the following: “I will never forget how he just looked beyond my head toward Blue Mountains in the east and said, ‘It’s alright Mr Hamilton, I know nobody goin’ wan defend me because a big man dead,’ and as I looked at him a tear rolled down his face. I felt about an inch tall. I then said to myself,Deion Sanders Falcons Jersey UK, ‘but gunman don’t cry.’…”?There and then he made an oath to reexamine the case.As to the $64,Jordan Shoes For Sale Cheap,000 question: Why and how could a lawyer in good conscience defend a murderer or vile defendant? Hamilton is poignant and argumentatively sound.?”…you’re sworn to defend all persons who seek your guidance and help.?Defending does not mean defending a person who?has confessed?his guilt,Cheap Atlanta Braves Hoodies, for such a person is deserving of the best efforts being advanced on his behalf from the point of view of sentencing and your obligation is to advise accordingly.?However, the fact that he admits to committing the offence does not necessarily mean he’s guilty as there may be defences available to such an accused, for example self-defence or accidents…..”?He then cautions, “Until that admission is made Counsel should never, never, make his own conclusion on the question of guilt.”And his counsel to legal dilettantes and even the most seasoned professional is invaluable. It is all inscribed in lucid terms: Understand the jury, immediately address spurious and tainted information that seep into the media, secure the least prejudicial venue to have a case adjudicated, and so on. There are also unlikely wiles to derail the prosecution’s poise and strategy.Hamilton’s lessons will etch into the mind of the legal aspirant:?”Never be overwhelmed by the preponderance of evidence against your client,

– candid comments by Rupert Roopnaraine, Al Creighton and othersBy Kiana WilburgSince the announcement of the Caribbean Press in 2009 by Ministry of Culture, calls have been made to the press to disclose information on its accessibility since early April.Dr. Rupert RoopnarineBut instead of a response to these burning questions that still remain unanswered, the Public was greeted by a letter written by Dr. David Dabydeen, (Most of the Poetry sent to the Caribbean Press is doggerel)the contents of which have attracted mixed reviews from prominent writers and critics within our Diaspora.One of Dabydeen’s comments that certainly drew much attention was “the fact remains that the writing coming out of Guyana, with notable exceptions is poignantly poor.”Barrington Braithwaite, a writer and artist who was also mentioned in Dabydeen’s letter, said that he is of the strong belief that Dabydeen’s remark is one that is designed to camouflage the real issue at hand and leave many trying to prove themselves.Literary critic, University Lecturer, and Secretary of the Guyana Prize for Literature, Al Creighton, referred to Dabydeen’s statement as “not the whole story.”Creighton stated, “I can easily identify many local writers of merit and as an ambassador of Guyana, Dabydeen is only limiting his attention to one thing. Over the past years, at the Guyana Prize for Literature, I have noted that some of the submissions needed improving but at the same time, many of the judges have pointed out the works of many writers who reflect impressive potential.”Supporting his comment was also APNU’s Vice Chairman, and accomplished writer, Dr. Rupert Roopnaraine, who said,Carlton Fisk Jersey, “Though we are living in a situation which in my opinion, is virtually collapsed literacy,Wholesale China Jerseys, we need to look at the environment.“We are in a far graver issue than what Dabydeen is highlighting and I feel pity for him. If it is that he is saying the work he reads which would have been submitted to the Caribbean Press is of no quality, well then I’m sorry but I was at Moray House in May, when Publisher, Jeremy Poynting of Peepal Tree held a workshop and based on the questions asked by the aspiring writers,WBC Jerseys 2017, it was clear that they were keen on improving their craft.“As an ambassador of Guyana and with the experience that he would have gathered over the years I expected that he would emphasize on our positives.”Dr. Roopnarine declared that “the letter Dabydeen wrote was regrettable and despairing in its tone .The Caribbean press has done invaluable work as it relates to reprinting of books.Al CreightonHowever, the work Dabydeen claims to have seen which he refers to as “doggerel or puppyrel”, cannot be used as an overall indicator of the depth reflected in our writers. Further, if you know these are the issues, as the ambassador, what can we do to help move this forward?Dr. Roopnaraine stated that the real issue that needs addressing is “What measures are in place that will assist us in achieving improvement?”Creighton said, “While it is true that we really have a few highly distinguished writers in Guyana,wholesale nfl jerseys, this is only so because of the lack of facilities that should be available daily to young writers so that they may be able to improve their craft. However, I wish to make it known that the Guyana Prize for literature has requested funds to address this issue and is currently working on this.“At the moment, the Drama School has put in place training programs that focus on creative writing as well as the University of Guyana, which will soon be implementing programs to help writers.”Despite an inordinate number of attempts that were made to contact Dr. Frank Anthony,Cheap Baseball Jerseys, Minister of Culture and Director, Dr. James Rose, all have proved to be utterly futile as this publication sought to address with the Minister, the unanswered questions with regard to the Caribbean Press.Dr. Roopnaraine said, “I have no idea where the Caribbean press is. How can one access the press? Where can the work be submitted and how does one engage the press for advice on other issues of relative concern?”Those very sentiments are shared by his colleagues, Creighton and Braithwaite who advocate that the information on the company needs to be readily available. But as Dr. Roopnarine “poignantly” puts it,Wholesale NFL Jerseys China, “it is obvious that the Caribbean Press has an issue with governance.”
