Bishop J. Adolphus During Is Dead
The Rt. Rev. J. Adolphus During, Senior Pastor and co-founder of the Soul Cleansing Clinic of Jesus Christ and Chief of Protocol, Republic of Liberia, died at around 7 a.m. yesterday at the Aspen Medical Center in Sinkor, Monrovia. He was 72.Ambassador During joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1974 as Deputy Chief of Protocol. He received his basic diplomatic training at the Foreign Service Institute at the Department of State (now Foreign Ministry), where he earned a Certificate of Achievement. He then matriculated to the Institute of Social Studies in The Hague, The Netherlands, where he obtained a Master of Arts degree in International Relations and Development in 1978.In 1980 he was elevated to Chief of Protocol, R.L., with the rank of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary. He served in that capacity until June 1990 following the outbreak of the Liberian civil war.The father of 12 children, J. Adolphus During was in 1998 joined in holy wedlock to Ms. Oretha Tonia Worrel, known to many as a devout and anointed woman of God.When in July 1997 a constitutional government was democratically elected, the President-elect, Charles G. Taylor, invited Ambassador During to serve a second time as Chief of Protocol.During his service in the Taylor regime, he served as the Chief Liaison between the government of Liberia and the Foreign Diplomatic Missions accredited to Liberia and traveled extensively throughout Africa, Asia, North and South America. He was received in audience by several world leaders, including the Heads of State of Algeria, Belgium, People’s Republic of China, Taiwan, Egypt, France, Ghana, India, South Korea, Kuwait, Morocco, Nigeria, Romania, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, United States of America and the Vatican.Prior to his transfer to the Foreign Ministry, Mr. During worked in the Internal Revenue Service as Junior Inspector, Senior Inspector, Director of Sales and Excise Tax and Assistant Commissioner of Internal Revenues for Income Tax.Prior to co-founding the Soul Cleansing Clinic, J. Adolphus During was a Baptist, and once served as an executive member of the Board of Managers, Liberia Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention, Inc. He was elected Vice Chairman for Africa of the Men’s Department of the Baptist World Alliance (BWA) and attended several BWA congresses in Stockholm, Sweden (1975) and Toronto, Canada (1980).Ordained to the Gospel ministry in 1979, Rev. During in January 1993 enrolled at the Universal Theological School of Ministry in Brooklyn, New York, an affiliate of the International Theological Seminary of California, where he took a Master’s in Theology, with a major in Christian Education. He was later awarded a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Christian Education at the Shalom Bible College and Seminary in Des Moines, Iowa, USA.After faithfully serving as a shepherd, steward, elder and watchman of the Soul Cleansing Clinic, Rev. Dr. During, in his 20th year of pastoral ministry, was consecrated Bishop on November 18, 2007 at the church’s headquarters in Chocolate City, Gardnersville, a suburb of Monrovia.John Adolphus During was born in Monrovia on June 3, 1943 to the union of George and Wrotoe During. J. Adolphus received his formal education in Liberia. A 1963 graduate of Ricks Institute in Virginia, Montserrado County, he later enrolled at the University of Liberia where he took the B.Sc degree in the Natural Sciences in 1968. He later traveled to the USA where he studied Tax Administration at the University of Southern California and received a diploma in Sales and Excise Tax Administration.In recent years Bishop During started the Liberia Institute of Protocol and Etiquette to train Liberians on how to behave in public and in private. Many people from various professions, including judicial and military personnel, and budding diplomats, benefitted from this vital training.During the Ebola crisis that hit Liberia in 2014, the Liberian Council of Churches, headed by Bishop Jonathan B.B. Hart, convened a series of prayer services every Friday at the nation’s oldest church edifice, the Old Providence Baptist Church on Broad Street, Monrovia, to pray that God would deliver the nation from the deadly virus. Bishop During coordinated these prayer meetings; and thankfully, Liberia, though the hardest hit, became the first of the three affected countries (Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone) to defeat the virus.Among many left to mourn Bishop During’s loss are his widow, the Rev. Mrs. Oretha Tonia During; daughters Bindu, Adelaide, Johnetta, Mauretta During, Mrs. E. Ameria During Sengbe; sons Wendell, C. Raphael, Sr., J. Rudolph, Jake S. During; many foster children; sisters Louise During and Mrs. Sorrow Dixon; daughters-in-law Mrs. Florence K. Parker During and Mrs. Katrina During; son-in-law Anthony K. Sengbe, Sr.; several grandchildren; and many other relatives.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)
STG FC Preparing ‘Talents’ for Europe, Others
STG FC Boys at the River Cess encounter which ended 4-2 in their favor.The Scott Tabi Group of Companies (STG) has begun recruiting young talents in sports, mainly football for proper education, development and subsequently, relocating them to Europe and in other parts of the world where the game of football is highly lucrative.Recently, STG president, Professor Martin Scott Tabi, told journalists that his mission is to re-brand the game in Liberia by producing a new generation of players reminiscent of the then George Weah Eleven.“We are interested in bringing up a new team of George Weahs as players so that the image of Liberia in football is not washed away completely as we are already seeing,” Tabi said.Over the weekend, the STG FC took on River Cess County team in a fitness test match, and emerged with a decisive 4-2 win.“We began the piloting process of our football academy last year, and today, we are already at it. We have bought about 30 acres of land along the Robertsfield Highway to build a state of the-art football academy,” he said.
Prof. Martin Scott Tabi, president of the Scott Tabi Group of CompaniesTabi added that there will be academic education for all the players, who will succeed in meeting the criteria set by the company for its academy.“We are testing a group of 40 young talents through training and good attitude grooming, who are from across Montserrado County for now, but it is our hope that when the right time comes, we will go to other counties to scout talents,” Tabi said.He said that the STG has international support to make any disciplined, and well talented player in Liberia realize his dream of playing in Europe and anywhere else.“We have contacts with teams in Guinea, Ivory Coast, England and Spain. All that is required of any player is to be focused on doing the right thing and be disciplined. We don’t condone any unruly behavior from any of the players or our staffs,” he said.The STG has its offices in Avion, France; Ankara, Turkey; Cyprus, Greece; Yaunde, Cameroon as well as Abidjan, La Cote d’Ivoire, helping to elevate the living standards of people.STG FC Captain Humphrey Gibson said he is pleased that he and his colleagues are receiving the full support of the Companies.“Every player lives with a dream, mainly so when you are still at the lowest ebb of life. We believe that our team will produce more quality players, who will not only play for the national team, the Lone Star, but for clubs in other parts of Africa, Europe and many other areas where the game is valued,” Gibson said.He said winning River Cess County 4-2 was not a surprise, because the STG team has done a lot more over the months as a team.“We are not playing to go into tournaments like the first division or any other division leagues, but to become the best we can so that we will have the chance to travel out of Liberia and play for money and prestige,” Humphrey said.Beyan K. Washington, River Cess County former coach, and now coach for the STG FC, said he is happy that his boys are responding to the demands of Prof. Tabi.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)
Rule of law must prevail – PSC
Refusal to honour Court judgement…Govt’s refusal to pay DIPCON cause for concern – GCCIThe Government’s concerted efforts to avoid paying a construction company a Court-awarded judgement sends a bad signal to the private sector. This is according to the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) President Nicholas Boyer.GCCI President Nicholas BoyerPSC Chairman Gerry GouveiaFrom left: Finance Minister Winston Jordan and President David GrangerIn an interview with this publication on Tuesday, Boyer said that more worrying than President David Granger’s decision to save his Finance Minister from jail over this unpaid judgement, is the fact that matters reached this far in the first place.“I am worried about the Government honouring its debts. That has impact for the business climate. Cause that tells you whether you should or shouldn’t give credit to the Government,” Boyer related.He added that the payment or non-payment of a debt by the Government impacts their trustworthiness. “Especially if you have to go to Court to get a judgement on it. And even when you get the judgement, they don’t pay,” Boyer added.In a statement through social media on Monday, Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo had also criticised the President’s intervention in a case between Finance Minister Winston Jordan and DIPCON Engineering.According to Jagdeo, the President’s actions can send a signal that the terms of private contracts with the State can be broken. He also noted that it signals that if the Court issues against the State in commercial disputes, such orders can be ignored.“We Guyanese, having observed President Granger in action over the past four years, have collectively come to the belief that on matters of policy and when dealing with evidence of corruption by those within his Government, he is often unable to move with any sort of alacrity, that he is slow and aloof”.“Today (Monday) he has shattered this belief by moving with lightning speed to thwart a Court order and (reprieve) Winston Jordan. Granger’s move to avert settlement on this instance should be contrasted against the multimillion-dollar settlements in matters which involved cronies of the APNU/AFC”.Jagdeo also pointed to the use of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA), which sent DIPCON a letter ordering it to pay $527 Million in owed taxes. According to the former President, this all sends a bad signal to investors and damage an already struggling investment climate.Rule of lawMeanwhile, the Private Sector Commission (PSC) also said that it has observed, with great concern, the deliberate and repeated refusal on the part of the Government, to honour the judgement of the Court.According to the PSC, the rule of law must prevail if business is to be conducted in Guyana with confidence in the Government’s respect for the Judiciary and a separation of powers between the executive and Courts. It noted that the private sector must, at all times, be confident that the principles of sanctity of contracts reinforced by the independence of the Courts will be honoured by the State.“The intervention of the President to protect the Minister of Finance from the law, rather than to encourage him to pay the amount owed and thereby follow the rule of law, sends a message that businesses and private investors can be wronged with impunity,” the PSC said.The Commission also pointed out that in order for both “foreign and domestic investors to do business in our country with any degree of confidence, they must be confident that the rule of law, administered by an independent Judiciary, will, at all times, be upheld and respected by the Government of the day”.Court judgementLast month, High Court Judge Justice Sewnarine-Beharry had ordered Minister Jordan to pay DIPCON the US$2.2 Million award or face jail time. The Trinidad-based construction company had taken the Finance Minister to Court for failing to honour the payment of millions of dollars, which was awarded to DIPCON by Justice Rishi Persaud in 2015.After DIPCON took the Government to Court back in 2009 to recover monies owed for road works done, Justice Rishi Persaud had ordered Government to pay the company US$665,032.17 as payment for the works done, along with US$1,563,368.50 for costs it incurred for those works, together with interest on both amounts, at a rate of six per cent annum from February 10, 2009, to October 21, 2015, and thereafter at the rate of four per cent per annum until fully paid.However, since none of the payments they were owed were made, DIPCON had successfully approached the High Courts for an administrative order to compel the minister to make the payment.On Friday, Justices Diana Insanally and Simone Morris-Ramlall threw out Jordan’s application, filed by Attorney General Basil Williams, for a stay of the Court order. In their judgement, the judges expressed their view that his application had no merit.Executive orderOn Monday, the last day for Jordan to pay DIPCON the monies, the President came through with an executive order for a grant of respite shielding the Minister. The President issued the order in keeping with his powers under article 188 of the Constitution. According to the order, Jordan was granted his reprieve “until all appeals and remedies available to him and the State were exhausted”.Article 188 (b) of the Constitution of Guyana says the President may “grant to any person a respite, either indefinite or for a specified period, of the execution of any punishment imposed on that person for such an offence”.Meanwhile, the Attorney General’s chambers has since filed an appeal of the full Court’s decision to reject their earlier attempts to stay the Court order. According to the appeal, Justice Priya Sewnarine-Beharry “misdirected herself in a number of points when she rejected them”.Among their contentions are a regurgitation of the previous arguments they made, which is that DIPCON’s Court action fell under public law and, therefore, Jordan should not be liable in his personal capacity.Advisory Council on the Prerogative of MercyArticle 188 of the Constitution of Guyana empowers the President to grant to convicted persons a State pardon, either conditionally or otherwise, or grant a respite of the execution of the punishment imposed or substitute a less severe punishment.However, he has to engage the Advisory Council on the Prerogative of Mercy under Article 189 before such action is taken. As a matter of fact, in an article published by the Ministry of the Presidency in 2016, it was pointed out that the Advisory Council on the Prerogative of Mercy, under Article 189, is therefore mandated to advise the President.In that article, President Granger is quoted as saying, “The exercise of the Prerogative of Mercy is not unfettered and under the Constitution…The powers I exercise under this part will be determined and guided by the advice of the Council. I don’t have the opportunity to behave in an arbitrary or capricious manner…”The Prerogative of Mercy is usually exercised in response to a petition from a convicted person or someone acting on their behalf and by constitutional convention on advice from the relevant Government Minister. In Jordan’s case, it was not clear if President Granger engaged that council before invoking his executive powers on Monday.

Homecoming a local and provincial success for Fivestar Fight League
Fivestar Owner Justin Donally says with the exception of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Homecoming was the best attended event in the history of British Columbia.“We knew the crowd would be big but we by far blew out even our expectations,” he says. “We broke records across British Columbia. To my knowledge there’s been nothing higher attended outside of the UFC. To beat out other guys in cities like Vancouver is impressive on so many levels. It’s huge for the business, for the gym, for the guys, for the community.”Donally adds the event helped to further put the Fivestar stamp on mixed martial arts in the area and knows they’ve made it very difficult for other promotions to compete.- Advertisement -“When we started this thing Fort St. John was right on the radar and we’ve surrounded the area for the last year and a half. Grande Prairie, Dawson Creek, Tumbler Ridge, Prince George, and now coming home. This is our home base. This is where all the local athletes are,” he explains. “That crowd showed Fivestar is big in Northwestern Canada and really big in the Peace Region. I think it showed compared to people seeing another foreign promotion come from out of Alberta and totally flop with maybe four or five hundred people there. You’ve got to have the community support and that’s what we’re all about.” On a personal level he says he couldn’t be more happy for local fighters Brad Stewart and Duncan Wilson who both ended the night wearing championship belts.“Not only do I coach them, train them, and help them out on a daily basis, but they’re both really close friends of mine. These are two local guys that are a couple of the best guys in Canada, not just in the area. To get them to do what they did shows Fivestar is for real.” Donally states.Advertisement For those eager for more shows by the Fivestar Fight League, Donally said that while full details are still a work in progress fans in Fort St. John, Dawson Creek, and Grande Prairie should expect to have fight cards in their respective cities in the fall.
Cougar sightings not being reported to proper authorities
According to David Vince, Sgt of the North Peace Conservation Officer Service, the discrepancy could very well stem from the fact that nobody is reporting their sighting to the proper authorities.“We want to confirm, through either an interview with the people in regard to what they’ve seen. If we have a kill, we’ll do what they call a necropsy on that animal to confirm it was killed by a predatory type animal rather than just a domestic dog,” Vince said.Vince goes on to say they did receive a report of blood on the porch and sidewalk of a local resident who had also reported a missing dog, but again, without a carcass, there’s no way to confirm the cause of death.- Advertisement -Vince is urging the public to call the conservation report line at 1 877 952 7277, which is open 24/7, and if warranted, will result in further investigation.“If you have seen any type of predatory type animals in Fort St. John, like a bear or a cougar, the proper channel to get the message to us is through the 1 877 number,” Vince concluded.

However, K’Ogalo could not keep a clean sheet heading to the interval as laps of concentration at the back saw Wyvonne Isuza equalize for Ingwe on the stroke of half time with a marvelous scissor kick to bring the Leopards back in the game and arouse their fans who were silenced by the Tuyisenge opener.Gor Mahia’s George ‘Blackberry’ Odhiambo against Edwin Seda of AFC Leopards.

Isco nets hat-trick as Spain hit Argentina for six
Diego Costa was back in Spain’s starting line-up for the first time in eight international matches and he marked his return with the opening goal.Isco then scored twice either side of what proved to be no more than a consolation from Argentina’s Nicolas Otamendi, before Thiago Alcantara, substitute Iago Aspas and Isco’s third completed the rout.“I am very satisfied with a win against the finalists of the previous World Cup,” Lopetegui said. “It is an opponent that has a fantastic history, but nothing else, it does not change anything, we have to start the World Cup with zero points (in the group stage).”As irresistable as Spain were going forward, Argentina were lamentable at the back and coach Jorge Sampaoli will have questions to answer with the World Cup less than three months away.“I have to take responsibility,” Sampaoli said.He might cling to the hope of Messi, whose hamstring strain meant he was not even in the squad, instead left to watch on from the stands.“Leo trained with us, he had a very good week of workouts but still had some discomfort in his leg,” Sampaoli said.Sergio Aguero and Angel Di Maria were also out injured but Argentina’s problem was less creating chances than containing Spain’s as Costa, Isco and Marco Asensio simply proved too quick to catch.Asensio is likely still to give way to David Silva but Costa showed he is ready to be Spain’s main striker, this game completing his reintegration after an autumn disrupted by his Chelsea departure.– Harrowing night for Argentina –Argentinian frustrations at conceding six goals boiled over late on © AFP / GABRIEL BOUYSIt was a harrowing night for Argentina but perhaps not a good one either for Alvaro Morata. Costa’s goal, coming before Aspas entered as a substitute to score one and set up two more, meant the Chelsea forward was hardly missed.“We decided to put Diego in, we thought it was what we needed,” Lopetegui said. “In the second half, Diego had a problem and we wanted to see Iago. They will both be full of confidence, along with all the players that come with us.”The victory also means Spain have now scored in all their 18 games under Lopetegui, a new record for a Spanish coach.Without Messi, Gonzalo Higuain was the visitors’ principle threat up front, with Ever Banega, Maximiliano Meza and Giovani Lo Celso given the chance to impress behind him in a 4-2-3-1 formation.For Spain, Lopetegui adopted a 4-3-3, with Isco and Asensio either side of Costa, and Thiago, Andres Iniesta and Koke again forming an attacking midfield trio.In a week where the Catalan crisis continued to dominate the Spanish headlines, Barcelona’s Gerard Pique was whistled by the home fans whenever he received possession.There were applauds too from some sections of the crowd and the jeers were temporarily drowned out by cheers when a thundering Pique tackle prevented a threatening Argentina break.For the first goal, Costa put his body where others might not, bundling the ball in between the leaping Fabricio Bustos and goalkeeper Sergio Romero, the latter forced off as a result and replaced by Willy Caballero.Cabellero was then at fault for Spain’s second, as his poor clearance landed at the feet of Thiago. Three passes later, the last from Asensio, allowed Isco to sidefoot home.Argentina pulled one back before half-time when Otamendi headed in Banega’s cross but their defence would only keep them competitive for so long.With Costa substituted, Aspas made an instant impact, setting up Isco and then Thiago, before scoring himself after De Gea’s long pass.Isco guided into the corner for his hat-trick in the 74th minute. Argentina looked relieved when the final whistle blew.0Shares0000(Visited 1 times, 1 visits today) 0Shares0000Real Madrid midfielder Isco scored a hat-trick as Spain thrashed Argentina © AFP / GABRIEL BOUYSMADRID, Spain, Mar 28 – Spain blew Argentina away on Tuesday but coach Julen Lopetegui insists they can take nothing for granted at this summer’s World Cup.A 6-1 demolition, which included an Isco hat-trick at the Wanda Metropolitano, underlined Spain’s credentials as one of the tournament favourites in Russia, while exposing Argentina, who were without the injured Lionel Messi.
