Gavel, scales of justice and law booksDES MOINES — The state court system is moving closer to returning to holding jury trials across the state.Supreme Court Justice Matthew McDermott co-chaired the committee which reviewed and made recommendations on the issue. He says it’s important to have the jurors in the courtrooms.“There have been some states that have tried remote video conferencing jury trials — and I think there has been very limited or mixed success with most of those,” McDermott says.The Supreme Court released a list of guidelines Wednesday it will follow for jury trials, and McDermott says they could be put in place soon. “It’s our hope that the jury trial process will get going in the next couple of months, ” he says. “We think that we have these protocols in place that can keep people safe and we can start giving people their right to a jury trial that is enshrined in the constitution.”McDermott says many of the protocols are things we’ve already seen as other businesses and services opened back up. “Obviously everyone has had to deal with it and I don’t think there’s anything that’s going to particularly shock anyone with any of the rules we have here. I think most of them are kind of standard practice now,” McDermott says.One of the biggest challenges the court system faces is there are different types of courthouses in the 99 counties of the state. “It’s really adopting all of them for 99 counties where these trials will take place,” according to McDermott. “That could be a challenge — because you have courthouses like the one in Polk County that is devoted almost solely to court operations. And then you have courthouses in more rural counties that might have a lot of other operations going on to — the county auditor’s office and recorder’s office and things like that.”He says those smaller courthouses pose a social distancing challenge. “Those courtrooms are perhaps a little bit smaller and so just addressing all of the different iterations of the courthouses that are out there. It’s going to be challenging — but I think that we are up to it,” McDermott says.He says one big issue is keeping the juror’s space six feet apart. “Jurors might have to sit in the gallery. They might have to sit in chairs that are situated outside the regular jury box. The hope is that we can get everyone in our courtrooms to make that happen. Otherwise we are going to have to find or try to find spaces outside of courthouses to hold trials,” McDermott says.He says there will be some differences in how jurors are called to serve. He says they will have to call them in smaller groups and keep them out of the courthouses for as long as they can until they have to come in. “Like most other businesses we are going to have markings on floors, doing all of the regular measures that everyone seems to be doing with keeping spacing and wearing masks and things like that,” McDermott says.They may summon larger jury pools than in the past in anticipation of some jurors not being able to come in because of virus symptoms. All of the proposed guidelines for restarting jury trials are on the judicial system’s website.

Nurses urged to uphold, restore respect to profession
International Nurses Day will be observed on Sunday and leading up to the day’s celebration, which is also Florence Nightingale’s birth anniversary, a week-long calendar of activities is in place for its observance. Launching the week of celebrations was the Regional Health Department of Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne).Nurses gathered at the launching of the week-long observation for International Nurses DayNurses were given the opportunity to embrace this year’s theme of ‘Nursing: The Balance of Mind, Body and Spirit’ with a church service. They were recognised for their ability to balance the work they do while maintaining an exemplary lifestyle.With the emphasis being placed on upholding and restoring the respect of the noble profession, nurses were urged to wear their uniform with dignity since they work in the most critical division of health-care delivery.During the event, the nurses were called on to rededicate themselves to their profession.“There are challenges but I urge you to keep up the good work, the profession requires of you that you must do your best to uphold the profession… Nurses are the backbone of the health-care system… I say to you nurses that you must continue to give of your best to the nursing profession, don’t get weary in well-doing, you will reap if you faint not,” urged Matron of the New Amsterdam Regional Hospital, Susette August who has served in the profession for several years.The Department of Public Information reported that nursing is the vocation in the health-care system that employs the largest number of persons and that there can never be too many nurses, she noted. “Nurses maintain the health and wellness of patients throughout all aspects because nurses not only deal with patients with physical ailments… Patients come to us with social, emotional issues and nurses are trained along this line to assess and to really care for persons with these issues,” she is quoted by DPI as saying.Sharing similar sentiments at the brief engagement for spiritual upliftment, both Regional Executive Officer, Region Six, Kim Williams-Stephen; and Public Health Ministry’s representative Alex Foster agreed that nurses make a difference in the world and in saving lives.An appeal was also made for retired nurses to partner with policymakers to influence young nurses in the profession, to re-instil values that made the profession what it is today. The profession, which is no longer dominated by females, has seen males joining over the years which, according to Foster, shows that being a nurse is about being a person with a desire to save lives.Nurses Week is hosted in Guyana to raise public awareness of the contribution of nurses in all spheres; to saving lives and building the health system, the world over. It is also observed in recognition of Nurse Florence Nightingale who pioneered the idea of modern nursing.
Commissioners paid despite inactive
Commissioners of the Public Procurement Commission (PPC) have been raking in super salaries over the last few months, even though the body has not been inactive.President David Granger in October last swore-in members of the much anticipated PPC, which was expected to take the brunt of the work off the shoulders of Government Ministers in the awarding of contracts.Members of the new Public Procurement Commission posed with President David Granger in October shortly after their appointmentBut Cabinet still continues to grant its no-objection to the awarding of contract because the five-member Commission has been unable to perform its duties owing to a shortage of staff.Minister of State Joseph Harmon, during a post-Cabinet press briefing on Friday, announced that Cabinet gave its no-objection for several contracts.When prompted, he explained that the PPC is still inactive because it is still in the process of recruiting competent employees.“Cabinet will stop granting its no-objection when the PPC is ready to work; they have been advertising for staff for the Commission, (and) those matters are well advanced,” Harmon stated.However, he was unable to provide a timeline for when the PPC can begin to carry out its mandate.“Once they say to us ‘we are ready to function’, then Cabinet will cease doing anything, but since these are public infrastructural projects that need to be executed, we cannot just sit and wait,” the Minister of State posited.“Once the PPC indicates that they are ready, then Cabinet will pull back,” he emphasised. Harmon also admitted that though the PPC has been inactive, the Commissioners have been receiving their salaries.“From the time they were appointed, they are entitled to those salaries,” he stated.Reports indicate that PPC Chairperson Carol Corbin is receiving $1.3 million monthly, while the other Commissioners are earning some $900,000 per month.The other Commissioners are Nanda Gopaul, Emily Dodson, Ivor English, and Sukrishnalall Pasha.According to the Procurement Act, the PPC is responsible for monitoring and reviewing the functions of all procurement systems, to ensure that they are in accordance with law and such policy guidelines, as may be determined by the National Assembly.It is also required to monitor the performance of procurement bodies, with respect to adherence to regulations and efficiency in procuring goods and services and execution of works, among other functions.
