Dressed up for indigenous heritage month

The activities for the 2018 Indigenous Heritage Celebration began last evening with an interfaith service at the Heritage Village in the compound of the Sophia Exhibition Centre. The ceremony was attended by Minister of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs Sydney Allicock and Junior Minister Valerie Garrido-Lowe, and Speaker of the National Assembly Dr. Barton Scotland, among other dignitaries. It was noted that because the only indigenous faith that exists in Guyana is the “Hallelujah Religion,” the service embodied activities in accordance with the religion. Yesterday’s service marked the second occasion that Hallelujah worshippers participated in the religious service as two groups from Kangaruma Village, Middle Mazaruni and Kamarang, Upper Mazaruni, Region Seven, led it with prayer and divine worship in their native Akawaio language. In photo, Garrido-Lowe (at right in foreground) and Allicock (at right, behind her) participate in the opening prayer at the Interfaith Service yesterday afternoon. (Terrence Thompson photo)

Just before the 94th Sitting of the National Assembly on Friday

Didn’t get the memo: At the point this photo was taken yesterday outside the Stabroek Market, the national flag was not being flown at half-staff. President David Granger issued a proclamation on Friday declaring yesterday a national day of mourning for Guyanese fishermen killed in piracy attacks off of Suriname on April 27th , 2018 and May 3rd, 2018. He called on all authorities, board, commissions, corporations, public agencies, ministries and citizens to fly the national flag at half-staff to demonstrate solidarity with the families of those killed.

Beating the heat

Loose letter: The ‘K’ from the Church’s Chicken signage at its Camp and Robb streets outlet was seen dangling yesterday, posing a potential danger to passersby using the pavement below and customers entering the building. Many pedestrians, like those inset, walked under the sign unaware of the danger above their heads. Up to last night, the letter was still dangling, while the rest of the sign was illuminated.
