The activities are scheduled to start on March 1 and conclude on May 29, the 75th anniversary of the birth date of slain revolutionary leader Maurice Bishop. ( CMC)

GEORGETOWN – Members of the Guyana Defence Force late Monday rescued the pilot of the singleengine Cessna plane that crashed earlier that day as it headed to Georgetown from the town of Mabaruma.
