Financial Times 'DTP'

STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE 

Community Participation Guarantee (CPG) is lifting their game with their recent entry into the global contest for the Financial Times David Thomas Prize 1999.

Hot on the heels of their recent reconnaissance into social action campaigning, Executive Officer Judith Lee says team CPG is taking their ground-breaking pilot venture to the next level.

“The big buzz is that it is shaping up to be a global contest for the millennium. CPG is an excellent match for the FT-DTP Division 1999 Award, so we are pulling out all the stops for our entry this year,” Miss Lee said.

Convened by Financial Times newspaper and the David Thomas Estate, this year’s FT-DTP aims to discover, support and promote entrants with the best proposal for the maximum number of people that can be helped with € 5,000.

“CPG is very much about a guarantee concept, and laying the groundwork to make it tangible. In more ways than merely grassroots petitioning – the heart and soul of the community is gaining traction on the legal and political stand-off about basic rights as much as advanced concepts in natural rights and qualitative entitlement,” she explained.

Miss Lee said, “CPG's  public programs are consonant with this year’s challenge question, and naturally we are delighted to have prepared our CPG entry for the contest." 

Last year’s FT-DTP was won by Greg Palast, an investigative journalist whose articles have been published in the New York Times, Washington Post, The Nation and numerous other US, British and International newspapers and magazines. 

The FT-DTP international competition which was also advertised in the October issue of New Scientist Magazine, will be judged by a panel of FT-DTP judges, with the winning contestant announced on 8th January 1999.

Powder Bomber

NOXIOUS ATTACK ON BUSINESS PREMISES An unknown terrorist detonated a volatile powder bomb within the Q Base Office Management premises on Thursday evening.  The assailant presumably entered via the rear of the building and launched a plastic vessel containing a volatile cocktail of ‘white’ powder into the courtyard of Q Base Office Management.  The assailant’s powder bomb seems to have misfired as it exploded against the brick wall instead of glass containing wall adjacent. The powder bomb exploded on impact and emitted a volatile burst of foul-smelling odors. A CPG worker who was in the building at the time of the attack said that it was “terrifyingly sudden” and then belched a “foul smell of rotten eggs and rotten milk.”  Immediately, the assailant (who was not properly sighted nor identified) could be heard scurrying away from the scene. Damage to the property included contamination of noxious fumes which had seeped into the building via ventilators near the courtyar...
