tude towards their hosts and

everyone else who made the

journey possible and their stay

On Sunday June 26, 2016, the Buxton/Friendship

Restoration Committee held its inaugural Induc-

tion Ceremony for a ‘Wall of Fame’ and the

Recognition of Outstanding Contributors to the

development of the village. The event was held at

Tipperary Hall, Buxton.

Patriotic son of the village, Mr. George Abrams,

recently delivered on his promise to open up eco-

nomic opportunities for residents of his beloved Bux-

ton. On May 29th, the Washington, DC-based entre-

preneur formally opened a clothing establishment at

Lot 23 Company Road, Buxton – two lots south of

the Public Road, on the west side of Company Canal.

The new company, PRIMO’S SEWING ESTABLISH-

MENT started off five weeks earlier with a staff of

about 12 workers — 11 of them women. The compa-

ny, however, hopes to triple its workforce in the

near future. The Production Manager is Mr. Garfield

Amos.

Primo’s specializes in uniforms for schoolchildren

and workplace employees as well as dress shirts for

men. Manager Amos, in a recent newspaper inter-

view, noted the absence of local manufacturers of

dress shirts in the country, leading to a high demand

for imported shirts. In years past, firms like the Kent

Shirt Factory at Plaisance dominated the local market

with quality designs, and they provided regular em-

ployment for large numbers of persons. Amos sees

his company as a pioneer in the restoration of this

line of service.

Extracting from Mr. Amos’ interview with Stabroek

News, published on June 8, 2016, the Production

Manager related: He believes this is a good venture

that others can follow and which would generate a

great deal of employment. “…Look at Bangladesh, a

developing nation, a lot of their foreign exchange is

from garment and textile and they are employing a lot

of people right now,” he said.

Reflecting on the early days when Guyana was a top

garment producer, Amos said, “a lot of people missed

out a lot because of the generation gap. In the early

days, Guyana was second to none in the Caribbean

when it came to producing garments, especially shirts.

“We [Guyana] were producing brand name shirts

such as Windsor, Terry and Elite. We even exported to

as far as London… Barbados was among our main

markets in the Caribbean.”

He added that, “those were in the Sanata textile

days. While a lot of people are of the opinion that

Sanata was all rugged pieces, in those days we had the

best cotton, rated the best in the world and we were

not only exporting the cotton fabric but also garments

made out of cotton.”

Amos commended Abrams for the initiative,

“Whenever he speaks about Guyana he speaks

about Buxton. He has the people of Buxton at

heart and he needs to be commended and

persons need to emulate him.”

GEORGE ABRAMS OPENS UP SEWING COMPANY


The Canada-based COMMITTEE TO ASSIST BUXTON/FRIENDSHIP (COTAB) recently made a donation of

Cdn$3,000 to the victims of a fire in Buxton last December. COTAB’s president, Mrs. Ingrid Ifill-King

presented the cheque to Ms. Patricia McCaddy, head of the devastated household, during the Guyana

Jubilee Commemoration Service held at St. Augustine’s Anglican Church, Friendship on 22nd

May. The

overseas organisation also

later delivered a quantity of

household items and other

materials to the family.

Construction of a new two-

bedroom house for the fami-

ly is expected to commence

shortly. This project will be

carried out by Food For The

Poor (FFTP), an international

relief organisation.

Ms. McCaddy indicated that

she plans to use the money

donated by COTAB to ex-

tend on the work to be car-

ried out by FFTP.

The December 27th fire dis-

placed more than 12 occu-

pants, including seven young

children. The fire is believed

to have been started by one

of the children while playing

with matches on a bed. The

wooden house burnt quickly,

leaving the family homeless.

They lost everything.

Zwade was born and raised in Lamaha Gardens, Georgetown and he immigrated to the United States at the age

of 16 after attending St. Jude’s pre-kindergarten, Starters Nursery School, St. Margaret’s Primary School followed by

Queen’s College Secondary School. While in Guyana, he was a member of the African Cultural & Development Asso-

ciation (ACDA).

In 2001, he matriculated into Emory College to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and a pre‐medicine

course of study. As an undergraduate, he served as the President of the Emory College Chapter of the National Asso-

ciation for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), leading that organization to win many intercollegiate acco-

lades for advocacy during his tenure. Upon graduating in 2005, he worked as a high school mathematics teacher

and swimming coach at Towers High School in the Dekalb County School District in Atlanta, Georgia.

The following year Zwade began on his career path to pursue a joint degree in Medicine and Business (MD/MBA) at

Emory School of Medicine and Goizueta School Of Business, pursuing dual concentrations in Organizational Manage-

ment and Operations. His research interests are in process and systems efficiency models to improve operating

room performance in health care settings. In the School of Medicine, he became the co‐founder of the Pipeline Pro-

gram, an award winning longitudinal high school mentoring program. His work with Pipeline Program has been fea-

tured in several magazines and publications, including the Atlanta Public School System “Speak UP” newsletter,

Emory Magazine and the Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper. In 2010, he was also awarded the Humanitarian of

the Year Prize for Emory University.

At the graduation ceremonies in 2011, Zwade was the singular recipient of the Outstanding Academic Achievement

Award from the faculty at Emory’s Goizueta School of Business. The national American Medical Association (AMA)

awarded him with ‘Excellence in Medicine’ Leadership Award in 2011. The following year, Zwade went on to com-

plete his residency in Anesthesiology at Harvard’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. While

at Harvard, Zwade published several research articles, presented at national conferences and was the invited guest

speaker on “Leadership in Medicine” at the Student National Medical Association conference.

In 2014, he was selected by the faculty of Harvard to serve as the “Chief Resident” in the Department of Anesthesi-

ology. He graduated from residency at Harvard with a distinction in research in 2015 and then decided to stay at

Harvard to sub-specialize with a fellowship in Interventional Pain Management. Zwade graduated from his fellowship

at Harvard in June 2016 with the loving support of his wife, attorney-at-law, Roshal Marshall, son, Sule Marshall and

mother, Hazel Marshall. Dr. Marshall will be working at a large, multi-center private practice in Atlanta, GA as the

Director of Medical Outcomes.

The family would like to express their appreciation to all of his teachers, tutors and supportive network of friends

and relatives that placed him on his educational trajectory. Zwade is the grandson of Nurse Olga Small, past Health

Visitor of Buxton Health Center.

Dear Buxtonians,

I had the privilege of chairing panel #20 at the

Golden Jubilee celebrations in New York, at York

College in Queens, USA, on June 5th, 2016. The pan-

elists exploring “Who Are We” was comprised of

Guyanese scholars based in the USA and the UK.

Vidur Dindayal (United Kingdom), in a 9-minute

video, essayed into “The Four Questions”: Who Are

We? What has been our journey? What can we be-

come?” and How do we get there?

In an 8- minute performance laced documentary,

“"What do you call me?" Color and Guyanese Identity,”” produced, scripted and directed by Dr. Paloma Mo-

hamed, said scholar took the audience on a journey with drums, voice, and light to ponder the meaning of

‘skin’ and ‘blood’—in our national identity negotiations.

Dr. Kimani Nehusi (Temple University), in a compelling discourse on “Ancestral Land, Ancestral Memory and

Re-memory,” proposed an Afrikan land-based and ancestral methodology useful for living, valuing, and pre-

serving ancestral land and memory.

Dr. Nicole Burrows (Brown University), presenting on “Seeds of Solidarity: The Labor Rebellions of 1935,”

explored the roles of the youth in labor rebellions.

These rich discourses provoked self-inquiry and debated among presenters and at-

tendees about what it means to be “independent” and Guyanese. At every turn, giv-

en my interest, understanding Village rhetoric within and alongside national and in-

ternational discourses, I considered the role of the villager—in Any Village Guyana

and his/her personal stake in national conversations—for as the villages go, so does

the nation. Thus, in the interest of extending the conversations emerging from the

plenary sessions, informal conversations, and the presentations in New York, I ask

the following 20 Questions:

1. Who Are We as Guyanese/ Villagers / Buxtonians?

2. What has been our journey as Guyanese/Villagers / Buxtonians?

3. What can we become as Guyanese/Villagers/ Buxtonians?

4. How do we get there?

5. What does “unity in diversity mean”?

6. What does “unity in diversity” look like at the national/local/ international levels?

7. What practices make visible “unity in diversity”?

8. How does our skin color divide or unify us as Guyanese at home and abroad?

9. How does our bloodline affect the way we think, act, and dream?

10. How do we celebrate/honor difference?

11. What roles do the Guyanese youth in villages and elsewhere play in the everyday politics of our village/

nation and in globalized contexts?

12. What role does a knowledge of ancestral links to land promote respect in Afrikaan Guyanese identity nego-

tiations/ and consciousness?

Wha de Story Seh? GUYANA AT 50: TWENTY QUESTIONS

13. How do new kinds of practices compliment, preserve, devel-

op our human and natural resources?

14. With over 360 overseas organizations assisting communities and individuals in

Guyana, how can we “rethink’ remittances in ways that foster industry, jobs,

and new ways of striving for sustainable economic development in the village

and beyond?

15. Even as some Guyanese/ Buxtonians are promoting cottage industries, what

kinds of networks can we cultivate to further promote industry and self-

sufficiency at the village level and beyond?

16. What systems are in place to help us identify and connect to knowledge re-

source networks?

17. How can we make these networks visible for the average person/the youth/

the village entrepeneur?

18. How do foreign-based Guyanese/Buxtonians preempt and guard against unin-

tended consequences of remittance—dependency, sloth, and entitlement?

19. How do we advocate for the preservation of ancestral lands/ such as the Back

Dam lands?

20. What are some roles (visible and invisible) that individuals can play to move

the village/nation towards long term master plans for managing village infra-

structure and environment such as water ways, landmarks, and buildings?

Is the Government of Guyana listening or watching? The nation is

yearning for inspiring and transformative leadership in every sphere

of national life. Since we have just removed a government that was

corrupt and inspirationally bankrupt, the expectation of the citizenry

is high. The major question being asked in every corner in Guyana

presently is: When will we see the change we voted for?

CRIME

The Crime Chief has revealed that based on the national crime sta-

tistics, the rate of crime has reduced – Tell that to the driver who is

afraid to park his vehicle anywhere in the city for an extended peri-

od or the store owner who, in many instances, is a sitting duck. While cold and current murder cases

are being solved at a satisfactory rate, "fine crime" seems to have gone through the roof. Every day

there is a report about someone losing something somewhere in Guyana. While this scourge may

have its sociological root in joblessness, it should not be allowed to thrive or go unpunished. The

punishment for simple larceny, possession of small amounts of narcotics, disorderly behaviour and the

like should be months/years of work cleaning the community that the offender belongs to.

PRISON RIOT

After two days of rioting, seventeen men losing their lives, millions of dollars worth of property be-

ing damaged and further millions being spent on a public enquiry, nothing new is known. We came

to power knowing that the prison is overcrowded; we knew the inmate to warden ratio was like rice

to meat in a poor man’s pot; we knew that cell phones and drugs were a part of the comfort/trade

regime of the inmates; but most of all, we knew that many of the inmates have serious issues with the

way they perceive justice is being meted out to them. Many are/were incarcerated for more than

three years without having their day in court. A deceased inmate was there for eight years without

being taken to court once. That prison disaster has caused politicians from both the government and

opposition sides to blame each other. Based on the personnel and commensurate knowledge of many

senior members of the new administration, they should

have known that an uprising was imminent. So now,

what? Will we deal frontally with the issue of justice for

the incarcerated, or will we continue to drag our feet on

their concerns?

GARDEN CITY

During the last year the City has taken on a new look.

Much has been done, relative to cleaning, by central gov-

ernment and the City council to date. However, much

more has to be done if the city is to achieve ‘garden’ sta-

tus. Among the primary conditions to fulfil the ‘garden

city’ dream are drainage, traffic control and vagrant re-

(Continued on page 15)

COLUMNIST, ANTHONY HAYNES


Flooding in Quamina Street, Georgetown

(formerly Murray Street)

Haynes Cite: Straight Out A Bux’n

moval. While many alleyways and drains were de-silted, which would have allowed for increased

water storage capacity, the drainage capacity of the city has not been improved. Several blocks and

wards in the city are not draining effectively due to blockages in the network of drains. A serious at-

tempt has to be made to improve the flow capacity of the internal drainage networks and the dis-

charge capacity to the Demerara River and Atlantic Ocean. Instead, the recently elected council seems

pre-occupied with bullying vendors and implementing projects conceived by the previous council.

CEREMONIAL PROCESSION

We have inherited a tradition which

sees a military display in the city to

mark the commencement of the crimi-

nal sessions of the Georgetown High

Court. The monthly parade is normal-

ly conducted on a working day during

the morning rush hour (08:00 to

9:00) in the vicinity of the Victoria

Law Courts. For the facilitation of the

exercise, several streets are blocked off

forcing traffic to divert from the pa-

rade route. Whenever these parades

are held, the already congested streets

around the court are forced into a sit-

uation where the traffic moves at a

speed of approximately one mile per

hour and backs up for miles.

It is clear that this judicial event creates unnecessary

congestion and thus time wastage. Currently our

road networks entering/leaving the City are unable

to accommodate the density of vehicles plying their

routes. The continuation of the ceremonial parade,

at the time when it is held, should therefore be re-

considered. There is need for a revised policy on

traffic flow and parking in the city. Who will bell the

cat?

Wha good fu de goose good fu de ganda

Until the next time, to God be the Glory!

SORRY FOR THE DELAY

This month’s newsletter is out much later than

usual, primarily because we were awaiting the

results of the National Grade Six Assessment in

Guyana to include them in this issue. Because

the results were eventually released so late, we

have decided to provide full details and analyses

of the performance by students from our commu-

nity in next month’s issue.
