Meet Barbados expressionist painter Brandon K. Best. Initially his comfort with art was expressed in pencil and pen sketching, until he eventually yearned for colour, which led to his liking for oil pastels...

The Chase Files Daily Newscap 8/6/2020

Good Morning #realdreamchasers! Here is your daily news cap Monday 8th June, 2020. There is a lot to read and digest so take your time. Remember you can read full articles via Barbados Government Information Service (BGIS), Barbados Today (BT), or by purchasing a Daily Nation Newspaper (DN).

BID TO STAGE PROTEST MARCH SATURDAY - THE TWO MEN who organised a picket outside the United States Embassy on Saturday to protest racism and injustice against black people, but which was cut short by police over a numbers violation, will be going at it again this weekend. This time, says president of the Caribbean Movement for Peace and Integration, David Denny, who organised the event with attorney Lalu Hanuman, they will be applying for a permit to conduct a march, instead of just a picket, near the embassy in Wildey, St Michael, on Saturday. Denny said on June 7 that he would be seeking to be allowed 200 protesters, with the march starting from the old Banks Breweries building and ending just in front the embassy. He said all interested people should wear masks, be prepared to practise physical distancing and follow other protocols the Commissioner of Police might point out.  (DN)

ONE DEAD, TWO INJURED IN SUNDAY SHOOTING - One man is dead, another is in stable condition and a third is undergoing surgery at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital after two separate shooting incidents on Sunday. Police spokesman acting station sergeant Michael Blackman appealed to members of the public for information on the incidents which occurred at Pioneer Road, Bush Hall and Country Road, both in St Michael. The body of an adult male, who has not been named, was discovered at Pioneer Road after police responded to reports of shots being fired. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. Meanwhile, one man is said to be in stable condition and another is undergoing surgery at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) in a separate incident at Country Road. Police say they were among a group of men who were liming outside of a residence there when they were reportedly attacked by a group of men wearing masks. The two injured men were transported to the QEH by private motor vehicles. Anyone who may have information that can assist with these investigations is asked to contact Police Emergency at 211 Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIPS (8477) District ‘A’ Police Station at 430-7242 or any Police Station.  (PR/SAT)

GUN AND AMMO MATTER RESUMES –The prosecution will respond tomorrow when the gun and ammunition matter against David Wayne Harper continues in the No. 2 Supreme Court. Harper, 49, a painter, of Bibby’s Lane, St Michael, was back in court last Friday before Justice Randall Worrell after he had pleaded guilty, in May, to having a 9mm semi-automatic firearm and seven bullets on May 26, 2017. “I apologise for the offence,” said Harper, who has spent 1 094 days on remand. Attorney Sian Lange told the court her client made a bad decision in taking up the gun. However, she contended the offences showed no sophistication, that Harper had no previous convictions and had apologised for his actions. “Mr Harper went above and beyond to get his matters before the High Court. He cooperated with police and he was assessed as having a low risk of re-offending,” Lange said. (DN)

PRAISES IN CHURCH AGAIN –While most denominations did not open their doors on June 7, at least two churches welcomed their members back. New Dimensions Ministries in Barbarees Hill, and Covenant Life Teaching Centre in Green Hill, both in St Michael, held in-person services. However, neither was taking any chances as there was strict enforcement of temperature checks, physical distancing, hand sanitising, mask wearing and information gathering on each member and visitor. Government recently issued a list of restrictions as part of the Emergency Management (COVID-19) Churches Directive 2020, some of which rubbed church leaders the wrong way, especially as it came to communion. After meetings and consultations some adjustments were made, but most churches opted to remain closed for now and only have online streaming services as they said they still needed time before they could reopen fully. (DN)

CHANGES IN PETROLEUM PRICES TO TAKE EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT - The retail prices of gasoline, diesel and kerosene will decrease, effective midnight, tonight. Gasoline will be adjusted from $3.09 per litre to $2.80 per litre, which represents a decrease of 29 cents; the price of diesel will drop by 23 cents, from $2.52 per litre to $2.29 per litre, and kerosene will go from 73 cents per litre to 63 cents per litre, a reduction of 10 cents. These price adjustments are in keeping with Government’s policy of allowing retail prices to be reflective of those on the international market.  (BGIS)

UPDATE: BWA COMPLETES REPAIRS TO BELLE GULLY BURST MAIN - The Barbados Water Authority (BWA) has completed repairs to the burst nine-inch main in Belle Gully, St Michael. BWA has reminded customers in the affected areas in St Michael and Christ Church that “even though the repairs are complete, it will take some time for the water pressure within the distribution network to return to normal”. “The Authority’s personnel will also be monitoring this particular main (an older main) closely should another rupture occur,” according to a statement from the BWA.Water tankers will continue to assist residents in the affected areas. BWA also said customers in parts of St Michael, St James and St Thomas who are supplied by the Shop Hill, St Thomas section of the network may experience low water pressure or outages. This is a result of BWA having been forced to stop pumping from its station at Lodge Hill, St Michael due to low reservoir levels.  (DN)

RESCUED DOG RECOVERING - A dog that was rescued on Bush Hall Main Road, St Michael, a week ago, after being involved in an accident is recovering at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA). The small brown canine had been rescued by a police officer and Nation photographer Sandy Pitt from the middle of the street last Sunday. It was taken in by the RSPCA’s Chief Inspector Wayne Norville.During the week, Barbadians were active on the Nation’s social media platforms trying to ascertain the dog’s condition after its rescue was posted. The Sunday Sun visited the RSPCA on June 6, where clinic manager Charmaine Hatcher said X-rays on the dog’s shoulder and leg showed there were no broken bones. Though limping and keeping her right front leg lifted, the dog is expected to make a full recovery, the veterinary nurse said. “It’s doing really well, and very nervous to the point she just wets herself every time we try to have physical contact with her. She is still favouring her right leg. There are no breaks, but she definitely will not use it at this time. Whether she was abused prior to the accident, we have no idea, but she is very nervous when it comes to human contact, which is changing rapidly,” the clinic manager said. Hatcher said that for the first two days, the dog wouldn’t allow people to pick her up, but that changed as last week progressed. “No one has come forward for her, but if no one does, we would love to find her a beautiful home,” Hatcher said.

REUTERS: COVID-19 DEATHS GLOBALLY TOP 400 000 – Global deaths from the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic topped 400 000 on Sunday, as case numbers surge in Brazil and India, according to a Reuters tally. The United States is responsible for about one-quarter of all fatalities but deaths in South America are rapidly rising. The number of deaths linked to COVID-19 in just five months is now equal to the number of people who die annually from malaria, one of the world’s most deadly infectious diseases. Global cases are approaching seven million, with about two million, or 30 per cent, of those cases in the United States. Latin America has the second-largest outbreak with over 15 per cent of cases, according to a Reuters tally. The first COVID-19 death was reported on January 10 in Wuhan, China but it was early April before the death toll passed 100 000, according to the Reuters tally of official reports from governments. It took 24 days to go from 300 000 to 400 000 deaths. The United States has the highest death toll in the world at almost 110 000. Fatalities in Brazil are rising rapidly and the country may overtake the United Kingdom to have the second-largest number of deaths in the world. The total number of deaths is believed to be higher than the officially reported 400 000 as many countries lack supplies to test all victims and some countries do not count deaths outside of a hospital. (Reuters)

The world is facing the rapid spread of the Covid-19 Coronavirus Pandemic. As we continue to do our part in Barbados please remember to stay home but on the days you have to go out wear your masks, practice social distancing (stand 6-10 feet away from each other), practice good daily hygiene, eat healthy, exercise and keep your mind active. There are 207 days left in the year Shalom!  Follow us on Twitter, Facebook & Instagram for your daily news. #thechasefiles #dailynewscaps #bajannewscaps #newsinanutshell #coronavirusinbarbados #nationalresponse #dailynews #thechasefilesblog

‘I hear Music’ mixed media by Heidi Berger.

‘I am the Land’ (2015), mixed media by Heidi Berger

Heidi Berger is a self-taught artist who has been living in Barbados for the last 20 years. Aside from four years of private art lessons during as a teenager, Berger learned what she knows about art from researching books about different art styles an artists.

The self-awareness and dignity of Caribbean Women are the main topics in her paintings. “The women of Barbados have inspired me with their resilience, their courage, their humor and their compassion, sometimes in spite of adversity in the form of poverty, abuse or lack of education” says Berger. “By painting them as strong, thoughtful individuals I like to show them in their individuality and support their strength.”

‘Woman with Flowers in her Hair’ (2009), watercolors on canvas by Heidi Berger

‘Women’s Work’ (2013), mixed media by Heidi Berger

Berger pays extra attention to the background of her paintings. She pours layers of watercolors on her paper or canvas and reworks the surface with pastels, graphite and charcoal. She also inserts seemingly random words  to emphasize the power of women.  Her paintings have been exhibited in Barbados, Canada and the United States.

Photorealistic Painter Akilah Watts shows us the nostalgic past and challenging present of Barbados life, a life that all of the Caribbean and the world can relate to. Her robust works play with aspects of Surrealism and in her most recent pieces, the grid system associated with Photoshop manipulation. This young woman has much to say and all the skill to do it.

Gwendolyn Knight was the wife of the famous African American Painter Jacob Lawrence and an Artist in her own right. Gwendolyn Clarine Knight (May 26, 1913 – February 18, 2005) was an American artist who was born in Bridgetown, Barbados, in the West Indies.Knight painted throughout her life but did not start seriously exhibiting her work until the 1970s. Her first retrospective was put on when she was nearly 90 years old, "Never Late for Heaven: The Art of Gwen Knight," at the Tacoma Art Museum in 2003. Her teachers in the arts included the sculptor Augusta Savage (who obtained support for her from the Works Progress Administration) and Jacob Lawrence, whom she married in 1941 and remained married to until his death in 2000. During the course of her career, she received many awards.

With her husband, Knight founded the Jacob and Gwendolyn Knight Lawrence Foundation in 2000, initially to support the early careers of professional artists. When Lawrence died, Knight disbanded the original foundation and changed her will so that most of the couple's assets went to support children's programs. Today the Foundation's activities are devoted to the maintenance of a website that had been developed in 2000. The U.S. copyright representative for the Jacob and Gwendolyn Knight Lawrence Foundation is the Artists Rights Society.
