RE:  THE PROPOSED BUILDING OF THE HYATT HOTEL IN BARBADOS

Dear Sir:

I write to inform you that members of the Barbados Lobby are standing in solidarity with Mr. David Comissiong in protesting the building of the Hyatt Hotel on…

Good Morning ‪#‎realdreamchasers‬ wake up because the news HOT!!!!!! Here is your daily news cap!

SCABIES EMERGENCY MEETING - Health and security officials were yesterday evening involved in an emergency meeting at Government headquarters after a Nigerian student tested positive for the contagious skin infection, scabies. There are two additional suspected cases, said attorney-at-law David Comissiong, who is close to the matter. The meeting also involved Acting Commissioner of Police Tyrone Griffith, Chief Immigration Officer Erene Griffith, as well as representatives of the Defence Force. After emerging from the meeting, the police chief told Barbados TODAY, “The Nigerians are visitors to our shores and as a result we have to look after their security and ensure that they are safe.” The meeting was called following a survey by health officials today at the Casa Grande Hotel, where the Nigerians are staying, Comissiong said. Chief Medical Officer Dr Joy St John has refused to comment on the matter. When contacted about reports that at least one Nigerian had been infected, she would only say, “We did not release that information and I certainly am not speaking on this matter.”

NIGERIANS QUARANTINED - THE 90 Nigerian students are to be quarantined after one of them tested positive for scabies, a contagious skin infection. The decision was made yesterday evening after a high-level meeting chaired by Prime Minister Freundel Stuart at Government Headquarters, Bay Street, St Michael. Reports are that officials are exploring the possibility of keeping the students at the Barbados Defence Force. Attending the meeting were Acting Commissioner of Police Tyrone Griffith, Defence Force Chief of Staff Lieutenant Colonel Alvin Quintyne and senior officials of the Ministry of Health. Hours earlier, a team of about 40 officials, including doctors and health inspectors, descended on Casa Grande Hotel at Oldbury, St Philip, where the students have been housed for the past two weeks.

BARBADOS COMMUNITY COLLEGE NOT READY FOR NIGERIANS - THE BARBADOS Community College (BCC) is not in a state of readiness to accept the 90 Nigerian students in the next ten days. The SUNDAY SUN was reliably informed that application forms were being prepared only on Friday and that there were no available classrooms, furniture or even additional tutors in place to accommodate the large group, who arrived in Barbados two weeks ago to undertake hospitality and agriculture studies for nine months. This state of affairs was also communicated by the chairman of the BCC board, Stephen Broomes, in a letter last Tuesday to board members as well as principal Dr Gladstone Best and other concerned parties.

BAJANS PAYING THE MOST FOR GAS - BARBADIANS PAY THE highest prices for gasoline and diesel in the Eastern Caribbean.What’s more, while the Eastern Caribbean territories have begun to reap the benefits from the dramatic drop of more than US$50 a barrel in crude oil prices on the world market since last June, Barbadians have only received a cut of 36 cents in prices at the pump since last July. A comparative analysis of prices paid by the countries in the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU) – Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines – and Barbados show that Barbadians pay between $1.49 and 65 cents more for a litre of gasoline, and between 51 cents and five cents more for diesel.

REGIONAL TRAVEL TOO EXPENSIVE - Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism Senator Irene Sandiford-Garner is not expecting any improvement in the number of visitors coming to Barbados from the CARICOM market any time soon. And she blamed high airfares and a lack of competition for that, as well as for the falloff in arrivals last year.For the first nine months of 2014, visitor arrivals from the CARICOM dipped 10.8 per cent, compared to a decrease of 8.3 per cent from Europe, 3.5 per cent from Canada and 2.7 per cent from the United States.

COURT RULES AGAINST SPEAKER OF HOUSE -QUEEN’S COUNSEL Michael Carrington, who is also Speaker of the House of Assembly, has run into hot water with one of his clients.Carrington, a practising attorney-at-law, has been ordered by the High Court to surrender nearly a quarter-million dollars to John Griffiths, funds received and withheld over two years ago from the sale of a property as well as various bank deposits. Justice Jacqueline Cornelius also ruled last month that Carrington render an account of all sums belonging to the particular estate within 28 days. He was also ordered to “pay interest at the rate of per annum” from May 13 until the entire sum is paid, and legal costs of over $7 700 incurred by Griffiths.

NUPW READY TO MARCH - IT’S NEVER TOO late for justice. That’s why the National Union of Public Workers (NUPW) will be pressing ahead with their protest march in support of retrenched National Conservation Commission (NCC) workers on Tuesday, despite a planned meeting with Minister of Labour Senator Dr Esther Byer tomorrow. Acting NUPW general secretary Roslyn Smith made it clear yesterday that the march, to protest the near year-long delay in getting the former workers’ case heard by the Employment Rights Tribunal, was going ahead in The City to make their point. While preparing placards for the march at the NUPW’s Dalkeith Road, St Michael headquarters, she said Byer requested the meeting to deal with the Employment Rights Act and there was no mention of the union’s planned protest.

NUPW ROUTE CHANGE - The National Union of Public Workers (NUPW) has been forced to change the route for its protest march scheduled for Tuesday in support of retrenched National Conservation Commission workers. Acting General Secretary Roslyn Smith stated they have been informed that the previous route would have taken protestors too close to the Parliament building, in contravention of the law. As a result, the demonstrators will now proceed from Queen’s Park, travel along Halls Road, Roebuck Street, turn right onto Pinfold Street, left onto Magazine Lane, right onto James Street, onto Tudor Street, Broad Street, turn left onto Prince Williams Street, turn right onto Swan Street, onto Roebuck Street, right onto Crumpton Street before returning to Queen’s Park.

TEACHERS UNIONS TO MEET - In what is to be the first collaboration since the Louis Lynch saga, the executives of the Barbados Union of Teachers (BUT) and the Barbados Secondary Teachers’ Union (BSTU) will meet tomorrow at the BSTU’s Belleville, St Michael headquarters at 3:30 p.m. Given the support shown by BSTU president Mary Redman following what was deemed a “covert” threat by Minister of Education Ronald Jones in relation to the general meeting called by the BUT last Tuesday, BUT president Pedro Shepherd stated he was “excitingly” looking forward to meeting with the BSTU.

DIGITAL EDGE -Barbados has what it takes to exploit “several emerging trends” and grow its international business and financial services sector. Donald Oliver, a former Canadian senator who is involved in several businesses, thinks the island should pursue these “vast opportunities” this year. Oliver, who was one of the several experts in Barbados last September to participate in an international conference hosted by Invest Barbados, said in the current fast moving digital age Barbados was “a unique and quietly successful international financial centre”. But he said Barbados needed to be wary of international efforts that could negatively affect the advancement of such domiciles, including various Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) initiatives.

FLOWER SHOW - A vibrant display of beauty and artistic talent is on show at the St Peter Parish Church. It is the 14th annual staging of the church’s Flower Show and Garden Festival being held under the theme Nature’s Bounty. Between 30 and 40 floral arrangements are artfully displayed on both floors of the church, while residents sell locally made jewelry, potted plants and other items on the church grounds.
