A pair of teams with minimal rest will face off in Nassau, Bahamas, on Sunday when No. 22 St. John takes on Georgia. St. John's (5-1), which will play its third game in four days, began the stretch in the Bahamas Championship on Thursday, dropping a heartbreaker to No. 13 Baylor. The Red Storm led by 18 in the first half before Baylor forced overtime. From there, St. John's rallied from five down with 1:47 left to send the game to a second overtime, where it saw Baylor knock down a pair of 3-pointers in the final seven seconds -- including Jeremy Roach's buzzer-beater -- to knock off the Red Storm 99-98. In the third-place game on Friday, St. John's breezed past Virginia 80-55. RJ Luis Jr. led the way with 18 points and four steals, followed by Kadary Richmond's 12 points, as the Red Storm took a one-point lead with 15:21 left in the first half and didn't trail again. "I'm really impressed with our guys, coming off a double-overtime, extremely emotional loss," St. John's head coach Rick Pitino said. "To respond that way was extremely impressive, both offensively and defensively." Pitino, in his second year with the Red Storm, was moved by something off the court on Friday, involving captain Zuby Ejiofor, who chipped in eight points, nine boards, two steals and two blocks. Ejiofor was serenaded by St. John's fans during the win, following his two missed free throws at the end of double overtime against Baylor. "When you've only been in a job for a year, you search for things you love about a place," Pitino said. "Tonight I found out what I love about St. John's. Our fans chanted Zuby's name the whole game, which doesn't happen anywhere else in America. I was really impressed with our fans and I thank them for making Zuby feel good, because he gives you all the energy." Luis leads the Red Storm with 17.3 points per game, followed by Ejiofor (10.7), Aaron Scott (10.5), Deivon Smith (10.3) and Richmond (10.2). Georgia enters Sunday's matchup looking to rebound from its first loss after falling to No. 15 Marquette 80-69 on Saturday. Georgia (5-1) battled back from a 15-point, second-half deficit, but was held to just three points over the final 4:57 in Saturday's loss. Blue Cain led the Bulldogs with a season-high 17 points, including five 3-pointers. "It's a process. It's a journey with this team," Bulldogs head coach Mike White said. "It's about continuing to make strides, continuing to protect our culture. ... At the end of the day, wins and losses are going to take care of themselves. We just have to embrace the process and enjoy it." Five-star freshman recruit Asa Newell was held to a season-low nine points but leads the team with 15.5 points per game. Silas Demary Jr. is second with 13.8. --Field Level Media
FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin needs hip surgery and will be out four to six months, jeopardizing the season for the 32-year-old now dealing with the second major hip injury of his career. Seguin will have a procedure to repair an impingement and the labrum in his left hip, the team said Wednesday. The surgery is planned for Thursday. The six-time All-Star missed all but three games of the 2020-21 season following a similar surgery on his right hip. Seguin also underwent arthroscopic knee surgery during that absence. Seguin tried to play through hip pain during the playoff bubble in Canada in 2020, when the Stars reached the Stanley Cup Final before losing to Tampa Bay. He played 19 of the first 23 games this season and is third on the team with 20 points (nine goals, 11 assists). The Stars put Seguin on injured reserve after a 3-1 victory over Winnipeg on Sunday. Seguin played 81 games the first season after the surgery on his right hip and didn't miss any of Dallas' playoff games in runs to the Western Conference Final each of the past two seasons. After winning the Stanley Cup title with Boston as a rookie in 2010-11, Seguin spent two more seasons with Boston before getting traded to Dallas in 2013. Seguin averaged 34 goals and 43 assists per season in his first six years with the Stars and signed a $78.8 million, eight-year extension in 2019. There are two years left on that deal.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Suspected gang members opened fire on journalists in Haiti's capital on Tuesday as they were covering the attempted reopening of the country's largest hospital, wounding or killing an unknown number of people. Haiti's interim president, Leslie Voltaire, said in an address to the nation that journalists and police were among the victims of the vicious Christmas Eve attack. He did not specify how many casualties there were, or give a breakdown for the dead or wounded. “I send my sympathies to the people who were victims, the national police and the journalists,” Voltaire said, pledging “this crime is not going to go unpunished.” There were concerns there could be fatalities — a video posted online by the reporters trapped inside the hospital showed what appeared to be two lifeless bodies of men on stretchers, their clothes bloodied. One of the men had a lanyard with a press credential around his neck. Radio Télé Métronome initially reported that seven journalists and two police officers were wounded. Police and officials did not immediately respond to calls for information on the attack. Street gangs have taken over an estimated 85% of Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince. They forced the closure of the General Hospital early this year during violence that also targeted the main international airport and Haiti’s two largest prisons. Authorities had pledged to reopen the facility Tuesday but as journalists gathered to cover the event, suspected gang members opened fire. Video posted online earlier showed reporters inside the building and at least three lying on the floor, apparently wounded. That video could also not be immediately verified. Johnson “Izo” André, considered Haiti’s most powerful gang leader and part of a gang coalition known as Viv Ansanm that has taken control of much of Port-au-Prince , posted a video on social media claiming responsibility for the attack. The video said the gang coalition had not authorized the hospital's reopening. Haiti has seen journalists targeted before. In 2023, two local journalists were killed in the space of a couple of weeks — radio reporter Dumesky Kersaint was fatally shot in mid-April that year, while journalist Ricot Jean was found dead later that month. In July, former Prime Minister Garry Conille visited the Hospital of the State University of Haiti, more widely known as the General Hospital, after authorities regained control of it from gangs. The hospital had been left ravaged and strewn with debris. Walls and nearby buildings were riddled with bullet holes, signaling fights between police and gangs. The hospital is across the street from the national palace, the scene of several battles in recent months. Gang attacks have pushed Haiti’s health system to the brink of collapse with looting, setting fires, and destroying medical institutions and pharmacies in the capital. The violence has created a surge in patients and a shortage of resources to treat them. Haiti’s health care system faces additional challenges during the rainy season, which is likely to increase the risk of water-borne diseases. Poor conditions in camps and makeshift settlements have heightened the risk of diseases like cholera, with over 84,000 suspected cases in the country, according to UNICEF.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The original version of this piece was published in November 2019 as The Nassau Guardian observed its 175th anniversary. By Bahamian standards of longevity, The Nassau Guardian has been around since King Hammer was a hatchet, as the old saying goes. And that’s a mighty long time! Indeed the oldest continuously operating institutions in this country today are the legislature, the Anglican Church, the police force, the Baptist then Presbyterian then Methodist churches followed by (after a gap of about 50 years or so) The Nassau Guardian in 1844. From then to now, The Guardian has been an integral part of the life of The Bahamas, not only as a purveyor of pure news (if there is ever such a thing) and chronicler of our history but as a major shaper of public opinion over the past 180 years on a multitude of things, large and small. I offer some reflections on The Guardian ’s evolution over that timespan. Broadly speaking, The Guardian ’s history can be divided into: (1) the Moseley era (from the founding of the newspaper in 1844 until the mid-point of the 20th Century, give or take a few years, and (2) what might be described — unimaginatively, I admit — as the post-Moseley era (from 1955 to the present). The Moseley era (1844 –1955) The dominant figure in The Guardian ’s Moseley era was not its founder and first editor, Edwin Charles Moseley, but rather his granddaughter, Miss Mary Moseley (she died a spinster with neither chick nor child). About 20 years ago, in a piece I wrote on the July 1926 hurricanes, I described Mary Moseley (1878-1960) in these terms: No other woman, before or since, has exercised such influence on public opinion in The Bahamas. Moseley was a woman of many parts, not all of them in harmony with each other. She was (in no particular order) an exemplar of Victorian virtue; a true patriot and staunch supporter of the British Empire (she had received an MBE while in England for services to convalescing British soldiers in World War I); a racial bigot; a woman of great compassion for the poor and needy; doyenne of Bahamian journalists; walking encyclopedia of Bahamian history; publisher and editor of the very first Bahamas Handbook in 1926; pioneering advocate for environmental conservation and civic beautification; and among other social positions, a leading light of the Bahamas Chapter of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire to which none but the cream of white society dared beg admittance. She was, for certain, an immensely gifted writer with a distinct leaning towards the use of lyrical prose even in her news stories. One striking example would be furnished in her description of the July 1926 hurricane as it was preparing to barrel into Nassau, observing how: “.... the mighty silk cotton trees which with almost uncanny insight promptly shed their leaves and stood gaunt and stripped for battle against the awful strokes of the gale.” Of greater consequence, Moseley was the local media’s voice for what Aaron Burr would have called in his time the “best blood of the country”. She was convinced that it coursed through the veins of the two dominant and closely-leagued political figures of the early 20th Century Bahamas: the speaker of the House of Assembly and the leading member of the legal profession, Harcourt Malcolm (with whom Moseley shared a close friendship and a consuming passion for Bahamian historical research), and Sir George Gamblin, the local head of the Royal Bank of Canada and, next to Malcolm, the most influential member of the House of Assembly. This pair constituted the twin-head of the local political aristocracy (soon to be joined by A.K. [Sir Kenneth] Solomon). Making no apologies for it, Mary Moseley was their most formidable promoter and ardent defender. The Guardian , however, was not all about local politics and international affairs. Thrice weekly, it also covered the births, christenings, betrothals, marriages, anniversaries, scholastic achievements, travels, soirees, amusements, sporting and recreational activities and the illnesses and deaths of the ruling class. Moseley’s Bahamas, as perceived through the lens of The Guardian , was strictly upper crust and, even more so, lily-white. Back then if you wanted to get caught up on what colored folk – 80-85 percent of the population – might be up to in their social lives, you would have to read The Tribune. Moseley had no time for such trifles. The Guardian in the Moseley era became increasingly conservative and uncompromisingly supportive of the racialist policies of the local oligarchy, especially from the 1930s. (By contrast, its nemesis, the Nassau Daily Tribune, under Etienne (later Sir Etienne) Dupuch, was the crusader-in-chief for social reform, racial equality and liberal causes generally, all while maintaining a steadfast loyalty to crown and empire). It was ironic that The Guardian should have cast itself in this rearguard role, considering its genesis. The founder of the newspaper, the first of the Moseleys in The Bahamas, had emigrated from England to work for The Argus, an unabashedly racist and inflammatory newspaper which, under its editor, George Biggs, had been the most outspoken and virulent of the local proponents for the retention of slavery in the run-up to Abolition in 1834. The story that has come down, and there is no reason to think it apocryphal, is that the original Edwin Moseley was so revolted by the racism of The Argus that he declined to take up his appointment, becoming a teacher instead at the recently established King’s College (under the auspices of King’s College, London). Located just off East Street and East Hill Street where the Royal Victoria Hotel would later be established, the school was an intriguing, if ultimately unsuccessful, social experiment for its time, with its consciously non-racial admissions policy and its racially balanced group of shareholders and board of directors. But that is a story for another time. Suffice it to say here that after a few years teaching, E.C. Moseley (as he was referred to) segued into the journalistic career that would occupy the rest of his working life, all of it at The Guardian. Despite the liberalism on race that was evident at the founding of The Guardian , it would not endure. Under Mary Moseley, The Guardian would become ever more dismissive of all the talk about (and later the outcry from certain quarters for) the curtailment of racial discrimination in the body politic and in the society at large. Moreover, it resolutely supported the maintenance of the status quo in relation to virtually all things political and social. To the end, Mary Moseley remained a creature of 19th Century arch-conservative thinking. (Note: Mary Moseley deserves a full-length biography. She was a remarkable lady, especially for her times and considering - ironically again - the systemic discrimination against women that was a mark of those times. In the meantime, those interested in learning more about her should refer to the short monographs written about her a while back by Ruth Bowe [now Madam Justice Ruth Bowe-Darville]; James Lawlor and the late Benson McDermott, himself a former editor of The Guardian) . The post-Moseley era (1955-present) The beginning of the post-Moseley era saw The Guardian falling into the hands of a group that made it no secret that its singular mission was to preserve and perpetuate the hegemony of the local oligarchy which was at that time coalescing into what would soon become the United Bahamian Party. That The Guardian was in this period essentially a propaganda tool for this group, the soon-to-be ancient regime, is not a matter for serious debate. Moreover, the racist policies of The Guardian became even more blatant than they had been in the Moseley Era. Indeed, Sir Etienne Dupuch, in his autobiography, "The Tribune Story” wrote: “Even as late as 1961, The Guardian emphasized in an advertisement in ‘Editor and Publisher’ that it ‘reaches practically 100% of the WHITE population of The Bahamas” (the word “White” really was in caps). Following the achievement of Majority Rule in 1967 under the Progressive Liberal Party (which both The Guardian and the Tribune had found common cause in vigorously opposing), a non-Bahamian/non-resident group headed by a wealthy American, John Perry, bought T he Guardian . They would continue to hold the majority stake for the ensuing 35 years or so until selling out to its present Bahamian owners about 22 years ago. In the post-Majority Rule part of the post-Moseley era to date (longhand for saying from 1967 to the present), it is, I think, fair to say that The Guardian has, for the most part, placed itself in the middle of the political road in its editorial policy notwithstanding that there have been extensive periods within that time swath when it was routinely dismissed by some as being joined-at-the-hip to the FNM or, if not that, biased towards the party in power. Speculation in the latter regard was no doubt fueled by a cynical perception that the Perry Group and later the present owners saw The Guardian as a business opportunity and/or as a support apparatus for their other, more consequential, business interests rather than a furnace to stoke any crusading zeal over the burning issues of the day that they might otherwise have had. Competing for government contracts for the printing of the official Gazette and the like was also seen by some, post 1967 until the '90s at least, as giving rise to a need to curry favor with the party in power by leveraging a neutral or perhaps only mildly critical editorial policy. Whether there is a kernel or two of truth in that is likely never to be known. It’s not something that lends itself to easy confession nor is it the kind of stuff that ends up in tactful memoirs. Be that as it may, looking at The Guardian today, it is fair, I think, to pronounce the following verdict: It is more balanced and objective in its editorial policy and news coverage than it has ever been before. It’s an equal opportunity exposer and slayer of the corrupt and the incompetent, the pompous and foolish alike, no matter which party is in power. Conversely, there is, in my estimation, no shortage of editorials praising the soundness of new ideas and the goodness of men and women when they do good, no matter which side of the political aisle (or wherever else) they might spring from. Some others may see it differently. I do not. Moreover, in terms of the width and breadth of its non-news subjects, The Guardian is today a far more interesting publication than ever before. Moreover, the social and racial snobbery that disfigured the newspaper in the Moseley Era and first decade of the Post-Moseley Era is long gone. If it is indeed correct that today's Guardian should be characterized in the way I have suggested in the last two paragraphs above, what better footing can there be for the nation’s oldest newspaper as it both celebrates its 180th anniversary and launches itself towards the ever-nearer milestone of its bicentenary in 2044.

Wake Forest 67, Detroit 57AP Sports SummaryBrief at 5:42 p.m. EST
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged President Bola Tinubu to request the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) to publish his assets to engender public trust, transparency and accountability. SERAP also asked President Tinubu to encourage Vice President Kashim Shettima, ministers, National Assembly leaders, state governors, and chairpersons of Nigeria’s 774 local government councils to follow suit. The foremost civil society organisation made the demands in an open letter to President Tinubu, dated December 28, 2024, signed by SERAP Deputy Director Kolawole Oluwadare. SERAP, which described the report that the President was considering asking the CCB to publish his assets as a welcome development, also said the move would signal his intention, willingness, and commitment to show leadership on the important public interest matter. It further maintained that President Tinubu’s contemplation would carry more weight if he promptly asked the CCB to publish his assets and encouraged others in leadership positions to do the same. The organisation noted that the secrecy surrounding asset declarations made by high-ranking public officials to the CCB continues to facilitate corruption at all levels of government, particularly across the country’s 36 States, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and within ministries, departments, and agencies of government (MDAs), as well as local government areas. SERAP stated that secrecy in asset declaration forms opens up the most significant opportunities for the misuse of public funds for personal gain and that if the President acted on its recommendation, it would reduce opportunities for corruption across all levels of government. It also pointed out that transparency and accountability at the state and local government levels will not occur without the President’s push for the immediate and effective implementation of the Supreme Court decision from July 11, 2024, which prevents state governors from seizing local government funds. The organisation insisted that requesting the CCB to publish his assets and encouraging his Vice President, ministers, the leadership of the National Assembly, state governors, and local government chairpersons to make similar requests “would promote and ensure public trust, transparency, and accountability.” SERAP stated that transparency and openness would also enhance public confidence in the integrity of high-ranking public officials and the government, ensuring that political authorities are honest in their services to the people.” The organisation stressed that despite the Supreme Court’s decision, it has been reported that several state governors continue to seize local government funds. SERAP further stated, “Your intent and commitment to promoting transparency in asset declarations should also include prioritising the immediate and effective implementation of the Supreme Court ruling. State governors should be held accountable for contempt of court as they continue to defy this judgment openly. “Implementing the Supreme Court ruling effectively will substantially reduce instances of state-level corruption and address allegations of mis-allocating local government funds, which are essential for vital public services. “Corruption directly impacts the lives and well-being of millions of Nigerians and erodes trust in public institutions. “Corruption is one of the most significant challenges to improving Nigeria’s democracy and rebuilding a transparent, accountable, and participatory governance system. One way that corrupt officials have perpetuated such practices is by concealing their assets. “Reports of corruption are widespread in many states and within federal ministries, agencies, and departments. The best measure of a nation’s progress toward transparency and accountability is full compliance with the rule of law. The law should command the highest respect, which includes state governors immediately adhering to the Supreme Court judgment and easing the collection of local government funds. “Nigeria’s democracy should be founded on transparency, accountability, and respect for the rule of law at all governmental levels. “Treating the Supreme Court ruling with contempt goes against any modern understanding of the rule of law and democracy and is counterproductive to efforts to hold state governors accountable for their alleged misuse of public funds. “The Nigerian Constitution of 1999 (as amended) recognizes the importance of citizens’ access to the details of assets declared with the CCB by public officials, as stated in Paragraph 3 (c) of Part 1 of its Third Schedule,” SERAP stated.
