Recap of 2021
As I’ve said to many in these past few weeks as the year was wrapping up: this year felt both so very long, and so very short at the same time. Is that possible?
Ya girl has had a very eventful year that I’ll recap here: January: Consisted of going back to work after maternity leave, choosing to teach half online, half in person. I learned that renewal of my contract was not guaranteed for the following year. I sent my baby to his first daycare, only to have it close within two weeks because of a COVID case. I learned how to have back-up plans. February: I turned one year older, and decided to leave the uncertainty of my job for a different uncertainty, and started reaching out to friends and networks outside of academia, learning how to pitch my experience as skills. I was very uncomfortable. March: The anti-Asian assaults culminating in the events in Georgia were especially taxing for me. I surprised myself by reaching out to friends and family, asking if they needed support, when really it was me who yearned for comfort and connection. My partner & I bought a home in a city that we wanted to live in (regardless of what the job market would bring), sight unseen and without a realtor. My family thought we were crazy. April & May: Wrapped up teaching at my first job out of the PhD, which I loved but also needed room for more growth. I decided to take a postdoc in New York in an entirely different department. We moved into our new home in a new city, and I vowed I would never move again (this is of course not indicative of reality). Summer: No travel abroad, unfortunately. Spent the most amazing time in New England while I channelled all of my creative energy into interior design and writing a short story. This told me that doing creative work is what brings me most joy. I ended the summer with an academic retreat in Seattle for new scholars of Vietnamese studies, which was restorative and wholesome, why isn’t this kind of support and collegiality more common? September: We moved again, though this time not our entire apartment, just a few suitcases to the tristate area so I could commute to the city. I met people from all walks of life at the new institution and felt a renewal of energy toward academia and going on the job market* again. New York gave me life. It was boisterous, enabling. October:  (Selective) job applications. This month was also an important one for figuring out what I needed in my personal life, which rules I wanted to abide by, and which rules I wanted to break. It led to hard, deep, but transparent conversations about what good relationships consist of. These conversations made me realize how porous the boundaries are between past and present, career and personal life. The things I wanted in my career were inextricable from how I was raised as a child of immigrants, the things I wanted in my personal life were not separate from the rules I had once followed at school. November: A blip that I do not remember.  December: A hard month. I received a large batch of rejections – from presses, applications, grants – and felt a deep sense of dread for the year’s end, simply because I wasn’t ready for what is to come. But will we ever? Yet each time I felt dejected, the universe seemed to offer me a bone. I guess it’s not over yet, but as I learned this year, I’m having back-up plans, and I’m wary of precedents and rules. 
*For context, the academic job market for a coveted position in French, let’s say, is extremely competitive. There are maybe 25-30 positions a year, to which I might be able to apply to 5-10 because of my area of specialization/research interests. Many people “go on the market” 2-3 times before they are able to land a position that puts them on track to be permanent faculty. Some leave altogether. 
I’m gonna be more honest with myself this year, give less f*cks about what people think, wear sneakers with suits, ask for what I want, and feel less guilty about it.

Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare releases first survey results on "rules for conversion from fixed-term to indefinite term contract"
Tumblr media
◆First Survey on conversion from fixed-term to indefinite term contract The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has released the results of its "Survey on Fixed-term Labor Contracts," revealing for the first time the actual status of the "rules for conversion from fixed-term to indefinite term contract" (newly established under the revised Labor Contract Law enacted in April 2013), which gives fixed-term contract workers the right to apply for an indefinite contract if their contracts are renewed for a total of more than five years. The survey was conducted on 5,662 business establishments employing five or more people as of April 2020 and 6,670 workers as of January 2021, respectively. ◆Approximately 30% of respondents exercised their right to apply for a change of employment According to the survey results, the percentage of establishments employing fixed-term contract workers was 41.7%. Of those, 27.8% had the right to apply for a change of employment to an indefinite-term contract in fiscal 2018-2019 and exercised that right, while 65.5% were still employed without exercising the right to apply for a change of employment. By size of establishment, 39.9% of establishments with 1,000 or more employees, 22.2% of establishments with 300-999 employees, 22.3% of establishments with 100-299 employees, 17.1% of establishments with 30-99 employees, and 8.6% of establishments with 5-29 employees exercised their right to apply for conversion from fixed-term to indefinite term contract. The higher the number of employees, the higher the percentage of establishments exercising their right to conversion to indefinite term contract. ◆What are the reasons for not wanting to convert to indefinite term? On the other hand, in the survey of fixed-term contract workers, 18.9% of respondents answered "Yes, I would like to," 22.6% answered "No (I would like to continue with a fixed-term contract)," and 53.6% answered "I don't know. The most common reason for wanting to convert to an indefinite term was "because it will eliminate employment uncertainty," followed by "because it will make it easier to make long-term career prospects and future life plans," and "because wages and working conditions can be expected to improve afterwards. The most common reason given for not wanting to work was "Because I am old and am rehired after retirement," followed by "Because I am not dissatisfied with the current situation," and "Because it would be meaningless if I only lost my contract period." ◆40% of respondents don't know about the "rules for conversion to indefinite term contract” 17.8% of respondents said they had heard of the "conversion rules," while 39.9% said they knew nothing about it or had never heard of it, indicating that 40% of respondents were unaware of the system itself. It has been eight years since the new rules for conversion was established, but the system is still not fully recognized. In March, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare started a study group to review the rules for conversion to indefinite term contract, and discussions are continuing. It is hoped that both fixed-term contract workers and companies will understand the content of the rules and that the rules will be properly implemented.

REFORM NEEDED – Prime Minister, Mia Mottley says gross under population is one of many major obstacles to the economic development of Barbados and the wider region which was in urgent need of reform. In her assessment of the region’s economy in San Juan, Puerto Rico during Wednesday’s Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) on the Caribbean Economy on Post-Disaster Recovery, Prime Minister Mottley charged that outdated development models, which need urgent reform, were stifling regional economies. “We need to reverse the investment by industrialization model of the 50s. The development model must change,” said Mottley, who highlighted a number of key areas where the region continues to fall behind. “The hidden secret of the Caribbean is that we are under-populated. When you look at Barbados, we are 430 squared kilometers. Singapore is about 670 and is 15 times our population. Guyana is the size of England, Scotland and Wales combined. They have 65 million people, Guyana has 780,000. Suriname is larger than the Netherlands, which has 17 million people, but Suriname has 580,000. I can go on and on and on. We have not changed the discussion; we have not changed the development model,” she charged. In addition to the need for a significant increase in the population, Prime Minister Mottley argued that Barbados and many of its regional neighbors still lacked a population armed with the skills necessary for development. “We were satisfied to educate 30 or 40 per cent of the population and let the others come along. That cannot be . . . we have a benefit that technology removes the hindrances of size and geography and we literally have to invest in the re-education of as many of our people as possible, such that each one matters.” Mottley also accused regional governments of failing to break away from colonial models of development. “We have not removed ourselves from being able to distinguish ourselves between Elizabeth [Queen of England] and Isabella [Former Queen of Spain]. And therefore that colonization of the region has put us on a development path that has not maximized our economic resources in the way in which it can,” she said, while adding that even after independence, the actions of more powerful countries have stifled development. “Part and parcel of our problem in the region, is that the region has been invited on numerous occasions to pursue paths and then when they get good at it, the developed world says ‘no, stop, change, we’re not allowing you to do that anymore as has happened with financial services. And part of the difficulty is that we continue to be unequally yoked in a global discussion. Leaders don’t talk to each other, so you’re unequally yoked in the conversation and therefore those matters that affect development cannot be pursued.” Mottley further identified a stifling lack of accessible financing from within the region as another hindrance to growth, again chiding local and regional financial institutions for attempting to take advantage of prospective borrowers. “There’s about US$47 billion in savings and right now if those savings are left in the commercial banks, they attract a savings rate of 0.1%, yet businesses are borrowing at seven, eight, nine and ten per cent throughout the region,” said Mottley, who added that in light of climate change, financing remained critical to the development of a thriving renewable energy sector. “We have a moral obligation to unlock renewable energy for the benefit of the Caribbean people and to unlock the investments that are possible, but we’ve got to create the instruments that can then be married with foreign capital to make this a real possibility. In my own country we have set a target of 2030 for a fossil fuel free economy at best or a carbon neutral economy at worst because we don’t have a choice. “We’ve seen our coral reefs die, yet our maritime space is 400 times our land space, but we’ve allowed over the decades our coral reefs to die, with consequential changes in our marine life and coastal erosion and yet tourism is our primary source of business. So we don’t have the luxury of time anymore in the region,” said the PM. (BT)
ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY FOR 2019 – Barbados is essentially “feeling its way in dark” for 2019. This is one leading economist’s take from the Barbados Central Bank’s report 2018 report released on Wednesday. According to Professor Michael Howard, the report essentially showed that the economy went into recession in 2018 and that its chances of recovery were dependent on the moon and stars aligning, in terms of the country’s economic outlook. Howard contended that Central Bank Governor Cleviston Haynes was hesitant to make predictions due to the absence of any concrete economic indicators. The economist argued that this state of uncertainty in the economy would result in potential investors remaining on the fence, adopting “a wait-and-see approach for any plans to invest in the country. “In terms of the challenges this year, he was uncomfortable and generally non-specific. For instance having cut expenditure, he is a bit uncertain, as I am, if the Government would be able to sustain the fall in current expenditure. To what extent can Government assure that expenditure is not going to increase rather than decrease,” asked Howard. The retired head of economics at the University of West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, lamented that the report had no serious analysis of the impact of Government’s decision to reduce domestic corporation tax to be compliant with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Dr Howard noted that Governor Haynes needed to elaborate on the cut in the corporate tax, which is not part of the IMF [International Monetary Fund] programme but is there now as a revenue adjustment issue. He is hoping that the corporate sector would invest in the economy but that is just a hope and we can’t say very much about that. Last December, Prime Minister Mia Mottley gave local businesses a bug tax break announcing a massive reduction in corporation tax from 25 per cent to between 1 to 5.5 per cent. At the time of the announcement she made it clear that she wants businesses to share the benefits with Barbadians. The development means that local businesses would benefit from the overhaul of the tax regime, putting them on a level playing field with their international counterparts with businesses in Barbados. However, Howard argued that with revenues below the target last year and a projection of zero growth this year, it was important to get serious analysis of the possible impact of the reduced tax. In addition, Howard contended that another unknown variable was the state of play with regard to negotiations with international creditors and the potential effect on the foreign reserves. “He is simply hoping that these negotiations will not have an impact on the foreign reserves and quite frankly that is my hope as well. He is hoping that these creditors will not go hard on Barbados. He also gave no view on the IMF programme and whether the requirement of a six per cent surplus over this year into next year was even possible.  So the Governor was very good on what happened in 2018 but he, like myself, is very uncertain about what will happen this year. So we are really feeling our way in the dark,” said Howard, who told Barbados TODAY that Barbadians will have to wait until the second half of the year to get the answers to these questions. In his press conference on Wednesday, Haynes revealed that after contracting slightly in the final three months of last year due to a weak performance in the tourism sector for that period, Barbados’ economy is forecast to be flat in 2019. During his review last November, Haynes had said economic activity contracted by 0.5 per cent during the first nine months. However, the Governor said in the last quarter the country’s economy had contracted a further 0.1 per cent. (BT)
IMF PROGRAMME ON TRACK, SAYS BPSA – Head of the Barbados Private Sector Association (BPSA) Edward Clarke has given the Mia Mottley-led Government thumbs up for the manner in which the administration has handled the first five months of Barbados’ structural adjustment under the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Noting that the last Government, of the Democratic Labour Party (DLP), had attempted home grown austerity, Clarke said that the difference this time around was stronger oversight and political will. “For the last three years we have been preaching this concept of oversight to the last Government, so it is nothing new to us coming into the programme this time around. Under the BSRP [Barbados Sustainable Recovery Plan] there was a sort of oversight committee but it was not very effective and it became too big and cumbersome,” Clarke explained. According to BPSA head, the independent nature of the monitoring committee for the IMF-approved Barbados Economic Recovery and Transformation (BERT) programme, is set up to hold Government to account. “This time around we decided that we wanted to be part of the process. The creditors group decided that they also needed to be part of it. So when we were re-negotiating the debt-restructuring programme with the Government, the creditors insisted that they must be part of the oversight, which became the monitoring committee. We have no member of Government on this committee. Obviously we have some non-disclosure agreements but we are going to be reporting to the public mid-February the latest,” he said. The BERT Monitoring Committee provides an avenue for the Barbados Creditors Group and the members of the Social Partnership to receive and review information from the Government on the progress of implementation and achievement of the targets under the (IMF) Extended Fund Facility of US$290 million and assists in ensuring that such targets were achieved,” the agreement stated. Under the MOU, Government is to provide the BERT Monitoring Committee with information on the progress and performance on its macro-fiscal targets, and to assist in ensuring that those targets are achieved. The committee will also be provided with the Memorandum of Economic and Financial Policies (MEFP) and will be required to advise the public of progress on the macro-fiscal targets in the programme and this would include relaying concerns to the public where appropriate. Clarke also heaped praise on Prime Minister Mottley, noting that she has demonstrated strong leadership throughout the process thus far. “We have strong leadership in the country at this time and I think that the Prime Minister has been a very good advocate of the programme,” the BPSA head, said, adding that IMF representative, Dr Kevin Greenidge has been very forthcoming with all of the data. “Dr Greenidge is the one who has the oversight to make sure that Government does the things it is supposed to do. He is making sure that data is provided to us on a timely basis so that we have access to the information that is needed,” Clarke added. However Clarke explained that while this is a good start, Government must now move towards the next step bringing back growth to the economy. “We now have to ensure that we get growth because cost reduction does not grow anything,” Clarke stressed.

UNION OFFENDED – President of the Sugar Industries and Staff Association (SISA) Edwin O’Neal has lambasted the Barbados Agricultural Management Company (BAMC) Limited for the management of its recent retrenchment exercise. In a fiery press conference this morning, O’Neal accused the BAMC of being disrespectful to the union during negotiations. The BAMC recently took a decision to send home 46 workers as part of the Barbados Economic Recovery and Transformation (BERT) programme. However, O’Neal accused the BAMC’s general manager Leslie Parris of failing to meet with SISA, as well as failing to give the union the necessary information required to allow it to make informed decisions. He charged that SISA had also written to the BAMC on numerous occasions, but had gotten no responses. O’Neal, who is also president of the Congress of Trade Unions and Staff Associations of Barbados (CTUSAB), furthermore accused the BAMC of failing to follow the last-in first-out rule, and of ignoring the rule which spoke to not sending home two persons of the same household. He said as a result of the BAMC’s approach, SISA had written to the Chief Labour Officer declaring a dispute between the two entities. “It is clear that the BAMC is disrespectful to this union, disrespectful to customs and practice and we would even go to say disrespectful to the Prime Minister. “We are now satisfied that the BAMC has targeted and attempted to decapitate the leadership of this union and that cannot be allowed in Barbados in 2019…” the irate president said. “SISA was left with no option but to declare a dispute between itself and BAMC and invite the Chief Labour Officer to intervene in an attempt at conciliation.” O’Neal charged that even when the Chief Labour Officer intervened and set a January 30 date for the two parties to meet, the BAMC failed to show up. But the SISA president said despite the BAMC’s unacceptable behaviour, the union was still willing to have a sit down. He however, warned that once SISA had exhausted all of its efforts in reaching an amicable solution, further action would then be taken. “Even at this late stage I am not going to be guilty of what I have accused the other side of. I am still going to follow process. “I have alerted the Chief Labour Officer as to how we feel about the matter and I am going to exhaust all legal, lawful, time-honoured and accepted practices, but there comes a time when that process is exhausted,” Oneal stated. “I have to be responsible, not only as the leader of SISA, but also as the president of CTUSAB. It is regrettable that the BAMC in the person of the general manager Parris and his acolytes, do not bring that level of responsibility that ought to attend these levels of discussions and be aware of his status in the nation.” General Secretary of CTUSAB Dennis DePeiza was also on hand to support SISA, and accused the BAMC of “bad faith bargaining”. “As you are well aware CTUSAB has constantly placed in the public’s domain, the continued disrespect and disregard that we have had for the industrial relations process as cited in this case with the BAMC. “What is really of concern is the bad faith bargaining that has been reflected in this instance and whereas SISA has operated above board, have sought to do the correct things, we have found at the end of the day, the BAMC, though they may have started the process, violated the process with impunity,” Depeiza said.

PEACE RESTORED – Employees of the finance department of the Barbados Water Authority (BWA) have complained to their trade union of feeling unduly harassed by the authority’s leadership. This “reasonable” belief prompted the Barbados Workers’ Union (BWU) General Secretary Toni Moore to request an urgent meeting with BWA’s management. A letter, dated January 18, 2019, and addressed to BWA’s General Manager Keithroy Halliday, called for an urgent meeting to address the “existing disillusionment” felt by the staff in an effort to clear the way for the restoration of the trust and confidence that is [sic] very much needed at this time to assure the achievement of desired levels of efficiency at the authority. “Among the grievances cited, is the fact that the members of the department have been criticized for submitting inadequate information without being advised specifically where there are deficiencies and where the adjustments are therefore required. “Compounding this has been the ‘sledgehammer approach to crack a nut’, which is seemingly preferred by your management. The approach to have the chairman chide and reprimand your staff even before you, through your own efforts as General Manager, seek to determine why instructions from on high were not, or could not be executed, is unfortunate,” a copy of the letter which was acquired by Barbados TODAY read. “Not only is such an approach excessive, oppressive and intimidating, but the involvement of the Board, the minister and consultants of the Government of Barbados under the circumstances is also indicative of a serious management and communication deficiency,” the letter continued. The strongly-worded document also said that failing to properly communicate with staff to get to the bottom of issues but choosing instead to trivialize their illnesses and absences from work, might satisfy “your own misgivings”. “However, perhaps unwittingly, it has created a negative working environment which denies both you and your employees the benefits of a positive work environment, especially at a time where we should be desperate to accelerate recovery from the recent retrenchment exercise,” the letter continued. The letter also outlined that the BWU hoped that the authority’s management would consider the benefits of a meeting with the union to fully develop and address these and other concerns, instead of “your open contemplation to have the staff of this department meet with your Board in circumstances where, understandably, they regard themselves as being under threat”. “It is hoped that such basic labour management relations issues would not have to escalate beyond where already, quite unnecessarily, it has been taken by you,” it said. It was proposed that the meeting be held on Wednesday 23 January 2019, at 9:30 a.m. at BWU’s Solidarity House. When asked if he was aware of the letter which outlined the employees’ concerns, Minister of Energy and Water Resources Wilfred Abrahams told Barbados TODAY that he preferred not to make a comment on the matter. The minister however requested that Barbados TODAY communicate with BWA’s chairman Leodean Worrell, who could not be reached. Efforts to contact the authority’s General Manager Keithroy Halliday, and BWU’s General Secretary also proved futile. However, when reached president of the BWA division of the BWU, Carl Boyce, told Barbados TODAY that the meeting between the union and the authority’s management was indeed held and “all concerns” were resolved. “That meeting took place and everything was settled and everything went in the workers’ favour. Everything is normal. The workers and the union are satisfied that everything is all right now. We had a lengthy two-hour meeting and everything was resolved,” Boyce assured. (BT)
GREEN LIGHTS TO SAVE MILLIONS – Government has partnered with Caribbean LED lighting to replace most of the public street lights in Barbados. Yesterday in the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources, Country Road, St Michael, Minister Wilfred Abrahams and chief executive officer of Caribbean LED Gerard Borely signed the agreement to replace 28 000 high pressure sodium bulbs with LED bulbs, a move estimated to save more than $3.7 million annually as well as help Barbados achieve its goals of eliminating fossil fuel use by 2030 and becoming the first country to use 100 per cent green energy. The initiative forms the final component one of the public sector smart energy programme, funded jointly by the European Union and Inter-American Development Bank to the tune of almost US $25 million. The other components included an electric vehicle pilot project and ocean energy studies followed by capacity building, institutional strengthening, public education and awareness and project management.

QEH SUITS OUR NEEDS – A veteran architect believes that the present Queen Elizabeth Hospital once maintained is adequate for the needs of Barbados and there is no need for Government to build another state-owned hospital. According to Andy Voss the idea to build a new facility in Kingsland, Christ Church is not beneficial to the country. Speaking to the media at a ribbon cutting and opening of the Soroptimist Village’s laundry facility in Eden Lodge, St Michael on Thursday the architect and senior partner of Tomlin Voss Associates said, “What are we doing spending our money to build a new hospital up there? Upgrade what you’ve got and knock down some of the buildings around it so you can get a bit more sensible parking,” Voss said. The architect who has been working in Barbados for the past 60 years questioned why Government is so quick to move buildings from Bridgetown and its environs which has UNESCO heritage site status. “Why are we moving away from Bridgetown, just because it is fashionable? This is architecture. Architecture has changed with the fashion and if you think of it, buildings like that were fairly stark and then you went into a ‘pretty’ type of architecture with the cottage and gingerbread architecture,” he said, adding that the QEH needs to be given the tools to make it cutting edge in 21st century Barbados. “What matters is whether QEH serves its function properly. If it needs more money, more maintenance, more staff, more security that is the sort of thing and that needs to be backed with the procedure and equipment as it changes. But it has not done badly,” Voss said. He noted that he has heard the cries about knocking down the QEH but he believed that the structure built by the late Captain Tomlin has been properly maintained. “I would go against that. The hospital is in a good position generally especially now that it is easy to get to Bridgetown and you should leave it there because 60 per cent of it is in good order and up-to-date. The QEH is one area that has been maintained. Look at all the other government buildings, the old NIS building, the new law courts, the maintenance has not been kept up.” In 2012 former Minister of Health Donville Inniss announced that a general hospital would be constructed in Kingsland Christ Church to replace the QEH.  (BT)
CONCORDE TO BE ADDED TO SYMMONDS’ MINISTRY – Minister of Tourism and International Transport  Kerrie Symmonds says his ministry will be responsible for the Barbados Concorde Experience which is to become the star attraction of an aeronautical museum. Speaking to Barbados TODAY from the Caribbean Travel Marketplace in Montego Bay Jamaica, Symmonds said “My ministry is going to take control of the attraction. It was originally under the Barbados Tourism Investment Inc (BTMI) but that is now in the Ministry of Investment. “We are prepared to take it over and have it as a part of the airport’s management structure and the airport will superintend the attraction and also the maintenance of the hanger and the Concorde experience as a whole,” he said, adding that the renovation of the Concorde will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Symmonds noted that there was no plan in place on how to market the aeronautical attraction which Barbados inherited in 2003. “The problem with the Concorde Experience is that I came into office and there was no marketing plan for the attraction and frankly there was no development plan. So I wanted it to be re-thought as an attraction and I wanted it to be something that we can bring up to date,” he said as he also alluded to plans for a museum. “If we are going to have an aeronautical experience that means we have to have things that will support it at the Concorde not just to go there and see the aircraft or to take a tour of the aircraft. So, it may be displays of information technology or more historical stuff. So that is a work in progress. It is a little too early to get a perspective on that,” he said.  (BT)

PREMIUM BIM – With Barbados’ tourism product a little more expensive as a result of recent taxes, Minister of Tourism Kerrie Symmonds is giving the assurance that careful and vigorous work is being undertaken so the destination could offer better value for money. Pointing to some measures that have already been put in place by the eight-month-old Mia Mottley-led administration to reinvigorate the tourism industry, Symmonds told Barbados TODAY he was aware that while tourist arrival numbers have been robust the spend is not where it should be. He said while it was critical that the offerings be refreshed, a holistic approach was needed. “So we are looking at a number of the existing attractions in Barbados, trying to identify areas where they can be strengthened or refreshed and then we are trying to build out green field attractions,” he said on Wednesday while attending the Caribbean Travel Marketplace in Montego Bay, Jamaica. “It has to be a value-for-money proposition in Barbados. When people are going to pay a premium fare to come to Barbados they want to get a premium experience. You can’t put a five-star stamp on something and then offer them a two or three-star product. “So there are a number of issues we have to get absolutely right in Barbados and those are not necessarily tourism industry issues but they are supportive issues – things like the little spike in crime that we had over the course of the last few weeks and the reluctance of people to ensure they properly dispose of garbage and have an efficient system of collection and so on. Those are the things I think can create a negative impression and hurt the product even more than the prices,” he explained. As part of $1.2 billion austerity package announced last year, Government imposed a number of new taxes on the tourism sector. Chief among them was a US$70 Airline Travel and Development fee for trips to extra-regional destinations and a US$35 fee for travel within the Caribbean. A range of hotel room taxes from US$2.50 to US$10 per night have also been implemented and a ten per cent tax on shared accommodation such as Airbnb. The latest Central Bank report indicated that despite a 2.8 per cent increase in long-stay visitor arrivals, tourism output fell by 1.6 per cent last year, from 2.2 per cent in 2017, due to a decline in the length of stay and less tourist spend. Symmonds’ comments came on Wednesday afternoon just as the Central Bank was giving its economic review for 2018. He said while people were generally prepared to spend premium dollars to come to Barbados because of the reputation it has for safety and friendliness, he insisted that Barbados must give value for money if the country is to earn more from the industry. “My position on the tourism industry is that I have wanted to have it re-thought for a while, and that process is in train,” he said, as he highlighted the establishment of the new National Cruise Development Commission and ongoing upgrades at the Grantley Adams International Airport. Symmonds said he was yet to do a review of the revenue intake from the taxes, which took effect October last year. However, he said his ministry has been observing the reaction from the various markets. The tourism minister said while there was a shockwave initially, with some believing that Barbados was pricing itself out the competition, that response did not match up with the record number of visitors this winter season so far and the future bookings. However, pointing out that it was not a clear-cut situation, Symmonds explained that while some markets including Canada, were performing well generally, there were some areas within the market where there was “increased price sensitivity”. “So that is something that I have sat down with the marketing team and discussed and we are looking at ways in which we can try to counteract that. All in all, I don’t think that we are having an exceptionally difficult time as a result of the tax imposition,” he said. Congratulating CEO of the Elegant Hotels Group Sunil Chatrani and others who received awards during the Caribbean Travel Marketplace this week, Symmonds said his wish was that the Elegant Hotels model would be replicated among the Intimate Hotels group. This group represents about 50 boutique hotel properties across the island. “They are going to be branded as a Barbadian product called Intimate Hotels, and certainly the intention is to have a variety of experiences under one brand in a similar way. Those discussions have begun and I think we are making some useful progress in that regard,” disclosed Symmonds, who was not in a position to give an update on the proposed Hyatt Centric project or Sam Lords Castle development. “Similarly, in so far as the hotel-related attractions are concerned, we are looking at areas for redevelopment and re-imagination of the concept so that entertainment areas like St Lawrence Gap and Second Street, Holetown are areas where I think we are going to be focusing on in 2019, with a view to trying to make them as cutting edge as possible in terms of the experience. So a lot of planning has gone into the latter part of 2018 and I think we are now at the stage where we are about to start the execution of some of those plans,” he said. (BT)
VIOLENCE, A DAMPER ON TOURISM – Minister of Tourism Kerrie Symmonds is deeply disturbed by the number of violent deaths in Barbados during the first month of the year, warning that it had the potential to impact gravely on the island’s bread and butter tourism industry. Calling for an end to the violent crimes, most of which have been gun-related, Symmonds at the same time welcomed the announcement by Prime Minister Mia Mottley that a concerted effort would be made to curb the violence. “I am heartened and happy that from the highest level of government – the Prime Minister herself – through to the Attorney General, the Commissioner of Police, everybody is onboard in this matter because it is simply not to be tolerated. It has to be stomped out as ruthlessly as possible,” Symmonds told Barbados TODAY. Last Friday, Mottley announced that close to 100 soldiers would work alongside the Royal Barbados Police Force (RBPF) and the service of of former commissioner of police Darwin Dottin would be enlisted as Government embarked on a major fight against crime. With Barbados experiencing another bumper tourist winter season, Symmonds expressed shock at the number of violent incidents that were taking place. “Whenever we have a shooting incident we compromise the image of the country and do untold potential damage to what we could be achieving financially. It disturbed me deeply that those things were happening while we had 6, 500 English guests in the island,” said Symmonds. “It is a good thing that you can have that level of occupancy that we had, but the reality is that all of those people were here on the island at the time when that lawlessness was taking place in Barbados,” he said. Describing the crime situation as problematic, Symmonds said: “I want people to be a lot more conscious and aware of the consequences of that kind of activity and that the foolishness they do hurt innocent people who are working hard trying to get this country back on its feet again. We can’t tolerate that.” (BT)
GOVT NOT ADDRESSING ROOT CAUSES – The Mia Mottley-led Barbados Labor Party administration is failing miserably on the issue of crime and violence, according to President of the African Heritage Foundation, Paul Rock. In a statement, the foundation scoffed at fresh commitments by soldiers and police to arrest the situation, following a worrying spate of murders in January. Last Friday evening, Prime Minister Mottley assured Barbadians that police officers would be working on off days and soldiers would be placed on the street as part of efforts to arrest the unprecedented crime situation. However, Rock argued that the root causes of the problems were not being addressed. “Police giving up off days and soldiers on the street! What will this accomplish exactly? If you don’t address root causes of anything you are moving on a treadmill of ignorance. Can the Prime Minister tell us the root causes of gun violence in our streets? We really hope she does not say guns. A gun has no power unless fired. We should be looking at what is causing the people to fire!” he charged, before taking aim at the education system and the controversial common entrance exam,” charged Rock, who identified the structure of the country’s school system as a major factor. “To help curb the spread of violent crime we need to violently dismantle this high and low school thing we call an educational system and all that goes with it,” he said in reference to the controversial common entrance exam. “We need a totally revamped education system with a ministry that cares and is equipped physically and mentally to do the job,” he said. Prime Minister Mottley also recently removed the Royal Barbados Police Force from the portfolio of Home Affairs Minister Edmund Hinkson and placed it with Attorney General Dale Marshall. However head of the local pressure group is not convinced that such measures would suffice. Rock also condemned the country’s justice system for operating too slowly, a situation, which he believed, was encouraging citizens “to take matters into their own hand.” He also criticized government for clogging up the court system with unimportant issues like marijuana-related offences. “Legalize the cannabis,” demanded Rock. “Allow greater access to it by all. Cut out the high street prices and the need to rob those who have managed to get through the island’s borders with the plant. Research cannabis in poverty-stricken communities and understand how the plant already aids in the reduction of violent crime, and how its legalization for meditational/recreational use will impact violent crime.” The African Heritage Foundation president also appealed for more empowerment of community organizations, “who actually have plausible tangible solutions for social issues that plague our nation. Have consultations with these groupings and see what you can learn from them,” he urged, adding that politicians alone could not be trusted with the public’s safety. “To seriously tackle violent crime in our society we must also address what is played on our radio stations and public transportation aimed at the youth. How can we expect to be praising criminals on the radio, ‘bigging’ them up and expect the violence to ease up? This too must violently be addressed.”  (BT)
MINISTER: TRANSFER ON HOLD – The transfer of the 14-year-old boy from Grantley Adams Memorial Secondary School in St Joseph to Darryl Jordan Secondary School in St Lucy has been put on hold. Minister of Education Santia Bradshaw told the Weekend Nation yesterday that she had ordered an investigation into the matter. Speaking to this newspaper from Miami via telephone, Bradshaw said the decision to suspend the transfer was made following a briefing with the Chief Education Officer and other ministry officials.

FATHER: I TRIED MY BEST – “I feel like I fail my Ramario.” That was the heart-rending statement of Anthony Wiltshire, father of 18-year-old Ramario Antonio Roach who was charged for two of the nine murders recorded last month and one last December. Roach, of River Bay, St Lucy, yesterday appeared before Magistrate Wanda Blair in the Holetown Magistrates’ Court. He was not required to plead to three counts of murder, that he killed his mother Joann Roach, 38, of the same address, whose partially decomposed body was found in a watercourse in the area on Errol Barrow Day.  (WN)
TEEN CHARGED WITH THREE COUNTS OF MURDER – Triple murder accused, eighteen-year-old Ramario Roach, of River Bay, St Lucy, has been charged with three counts of murder. The victims, one male and two females, were found in various stages of decomposition between December and January. The body of former Free Hill, Black Rock, St Michael resident, 68-year-old Tyrone Austin, was discovered in a bushy area in Wanstead Gardens, St James on December 18 last year. The partially decomposed body of Joann Roach, 38 years, formerly of River Bay, St Lucy, was discovered in a watercourse at River Bay on Monday, January 21. Roach is believed to be the mother of the accused. Just one day later on January 22, the mutilated body Dr. Sarah Sutrina, was discovered nearby in Ocean Estate, Northumberland, St Lucy. The former UWI lecturer of Wanstead Gardens, St James, was also 68 years old. The accused is to appear in the Holetown Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Wanda Blair. (WN)
COPS DIGGING DEEPER – Police are probing a major car theft racket which has resulted in hundreds of vehicles disappearing. Initially when the popular brand was being stolen – seemingly without a trace – lawmen were operating on the premise that they were being secretly shipped out of the island. However, deeper probing revealed that many of the approximately 600 vehicles stolen between 2012 and last year were actually still on the island and being driven around as legitimately imported vehicles. (WN)
HEFTY FINE FOR RED LIGHT – Not stopping at a traffic light has cost a driver $1000. That was the fine handed down by Magistrate Graveney Bannister in the Traffic Court to Kenmore Clarke of Dash Road, Bank Hall, St Michael, who pleaded guilty to the offence of May 20, 2018. Clarke said he was going through the amber light, when the lights changed. The magistrate noted that such offences were too prevalent. Failing to pay the forthwith fine, Clarke will spend 100 days in prison. (BT)
CPL’S $US20.8 MILLION BOOST – Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) today announced that the tournament’s economic impact for Barbados last year was US$20,841,961.  The tournament was staged between August 8 and 16 September 16.  Organisers said that figure represented an increase on the 2017 figure of nearly 40 per cent. This figure has been calculated using organiser spend, visitor spend and media value and was collated for Hero CPL by world-renowned researchers, SMG Insight. In addition to that economic impact figure the Hero CPL employed 361 staff in Barbados and filled 4,579 hotel rooms during the 2018 event. The value of media exposure and mentions of Barbados from the coverage was US$10,438,503, almost double that achieved in 2017. This was due in part to the unique sponsorship of the Sky Sports CPL coverage in the United Kingdom by the Visit Barbados campaign. The Hero CPL spent US$2,644,411 in Barbados during the 2018 event with the tournament hosting five matches in the island. Speaking about the report from SMG Insight the Hero CPL Chief Operating Officer, Pete Russell said: “Barbados has been such a large part of CPL since the tournament started in 2013 and we are delighted to be providing tangible benefits to the economy of the country. We have already started our plans for the 2019 tournament, and we are certain we can improve on these figures.” First started in 2013, the Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) is a franchise-based T20 format cricket tournament that combines two of the most compelling aspects of Caribbean life – dramatic cricket and a vibrant Carnival atmosphere. Combining broadcast and digital viewership, over 200 million fans watched the 2018 season to make it one of the fastest growing leagues in world cricket. Trinbago Knight Riders are the current Hero CPL champions and the other competing teams are Barbados Tridents, Guyana Amazon Warriors, St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots, St Lucia Stars and Jamaica Tallawahs.

WINDIES FIRED UP – Another incisive display from West Indies’ seamers once again brutally exposed England’s suspect batting, as the visitors folded cheaply in their first innings to give the hosts command of the opening day of the second Test yesterday. Still brimming with confidence following their dominant first Test victory last weekend in Bridgetown, the Windies hardly put a foot wrong as they bundled England out for 187 before reaching the close on 30 without loss – 157 runs behind heading into today’s second at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. Veteran seamer Kemar Roach bowled superbly to claim four for 30 while new-ball partner Shannon Gabriel worked up a fair turn of pace on the two-paced surface to finish with three for 45. (WN)
DOTTIN ON FIRE – Batting star Deandra Dottin narrowly missed out on a record-breaking third Twenty20 International hundred as West Indies launched their historic three-match tour here with a convincing 71-run win Thursday. Choosing to bat first at Southend Club, West Indies piled up 160 for six of their 20 overs, with the right-handed Dottin blasting an unbeaten 90 off 60 deliveries. Chedean Nation struck exactly 50 off 35 balls as West Indies recovered from an uncertain start to reach a competitive total. In reply, fast bowler Shamilia Connell snatched three for 29 while new-ball partner Shakera Selman (2-8) and off-spinner Anisa Mohammed (2-17) picked up two wickets apiece, as Pakistan folded for 80 with two overs left. Captain Bismah Maroof top-scored with 38 but was the only one to offer resistance, leaving Pakistan well short of their target. Playing their first series on Pakistan soil in 15 years, West Indies were propelled as Dottin dominated a 34-run opening stand with Kycia Knight (8). But both Knight and Shemaine Campbelle (4) fell in the space of 17 runs to leave the Windies on 51 for two in the ninth over before Dottin found a stable partner in Nation to repair the innings. All told, Player-of-the-Match Dottin struck eight fours and four sixes as she put on 109 in an unbroken third wicket stand. Nation counted four fours and a brace of sixes, providing the momentum as West Indies gathered 62 runs from the last five overs. Pakistan never quite found their footing, especially after Connell knocked over openers Sidra Ameen (2) and Javeria Khan (19) cheaply to catches at the wicket, leaving the score on 32 for two in the sixth over. Bismah tried to rally the innings, hitting five fours in a patient 37-ball knock but was ninth out as Pakistan lost their last six wickets for just 18 runs. The next T20I is set for Friday.  (BT)
FROM CLASSIC TO PRO –This is going to be a historic year for Barbados in bodybuilding and fitness competitions. That’s because a pro qualifier and a pro contest will be held here for the first time. It is the Darcy Beckles Diamond Cup Barbados onJuly 6 at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Conference Centre. This means that some of this country’s top competitors such as Martinus Durrant, Shaquile Lavine, Shakira Doughlin and Hadley Hoyte, can seek pro cards at home. Former national men’s physique champion Ryan Haynes, who is now clear to compete after a two-year suspension ended last October, can launch his comeback at the pro qualifier which will have entrants from Europe, North American and the Caribbean.

Renck: 7 things to watch in Broncos opener
DENVER -- Since the Broncos last left their downtown digs on Jan. 1, the head coach barely kept his job, a new starting quarterback arrived, the stadium received a new name and a rookie class joined the team, providing a gate card to allow a stranger back into the building: hope.
For the first time since Week 5 of last season, the Broncos believe again. No longer are they strapped with the burden of an eight-game losing streak, their worst skid in 50 years. There is no more talk about "The Decision," replaced by "The Solution" at quarterback with Case Keenum. The three-wide receiver set with five-to-seven drops has gone the way of cassette tapes and Ed Hardy T-shirts. 
Hope is back. But it is not a strategy. Starting Sunday night, the Broncos need to reward the renewed faith by proving it on the field as they open the preseason at home for only the second time in two decades. August provides answers. The questions begin against the Minnesota Vikings at 7 p.m. My Denver7 Things to Watch:
1) Case Closed
Keenum provides confidence, experience and leadership. All will be on display against his former team. The Broncos need to look different under Keenum in his two series. Move the chains with more receiving weapons like Courtland Sutton, DaeSean Hamilton and Jake Butt, show efficiency in the passing game, and take care of the ball. Keenum has thrown three picks in 11 days of training camp. The Vikings defense offers a test, a legitimate group that ravaged opponents on third downs a year ago.
2) Walk the Line
Keep in mind, Keenum's success hinges, in part, on the success of the offensive line. There are more questions than the Riddler's costume. The right side of the line must show stability and consistency with right guard Connor McGovern and right tackle Jared Veldheer. Also, Garett Bolles requires improvement. He has to shave his penalties in half, and not tip plays with this stance.
3) Running for glory
Coach Vance Joseph indicated Devontae Booker and rookie Royce Freeman will share duty with the first team. Booker holds the edge to start because of his experience and pass-blocking acumen. Yet, there's no denying he needs to show more. His career average sits at 3.6 yards per carry, and he has zero runs of more than 20 yards. Freeman, however, has not burst in camp like I've seen from Courtland Sutton and DaeSean Hamilton. The former Oregon star has a platform. Can he take advantage of it? And if he can't, will De'Angelo Henderson, who has shown the best feet in camp, move up the depth chart? 
4) Crossroads for Lynch
Paxton Lynch brought questions into the league about his ability to lead a team, command a huddle and adapt to a pro offense. He hasn't answered any of them. Time is running out to show he can start in the league. Worse, time is running out to show he can be trusted as a backup. If Lynch doesn't play well Saturday, the Broncos must consider signing or acquiring a veteran reserve. Free agents include Matt Moore, and trade candidates include, but are not limited to, Teddy Bridgewater, Mike Glennon and Brett Hundley. Lynch has little trade value. So if the Broncos add a veteran, it would likely push Lynch to third string and Chad Kelly off the roster.
5) Astronaut takes flight
Some fans tweet me with concern that Bradley Chubb's not starring in camp. I say, take a deep breath. He has displayed mature pass rushing moves and can stay in a four-point stance to stop the run. He is ready to be unleashed. I will be surprised if he doesn't produce a snapshot sack in the first two preseason games. 
6) Nickel for your thoughts
Forget the No Fly Zone. It's the New Fly Zone. The secondary, for the first time in years, features uncertainty. Chris Harris Jr. is poised to return to All-Pro form after a relentless offseason of conditioning. Bradley Roby tagged along, and is admittedly more focused as a starter, where consistency remains the key to netting him a new contract. But who is the third corner? It is an issue. Veteran Tramaine Brock is the favorite, but might not play Saturday because of a hamstring issue. He barely played last season. Can the Broncos count on him or will rookie Isaac Yiadom secure the spot? I will say this. I love the way new secondary coach Greg Williams is pushing this group. 
7) Go Cra-zy!
Remember when Jordan "Sunshine" Taylor shone in camp? River Cracraft is pulling off similar exploits, making big catches everyday. He hasn't played in a game since November 2016. This is a huge three-week stretch for him to prove he's worthy of an NFL roster spot. Same goes for kick returner Phillip Lindsay, who might have to beat out Isaiah McKenzie to make the team.

The Latest: Venezuelans revel at Peru president's woes
New Post has been published on https://goo.gl/Weotzr
The Latest: Venezuelans revel at Peru president's woes
Tumblr media
LIMA, Peru /March 21, 2018 (AP)(STL.News) — The Latest on political turmoil in Peru (all times local):
8:25 p.m.
One of socialist Venezuela’s most powerful politicians has taken to Twitter to revel over the resignation of conservative Peruvian President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski.
Delcy Rodriguez tweeted that the resignation begins “the moral renewal of Latin America,” calling Kuczynski a “nefarious character” and a “faithful representative and submissive ally of Donald Trump.”
Rodriguez is a former foreign minister who now heads Venezuela’s all- powerful Constituent Assembly.
Venezuela’s government has repeatedly chafed at criticism from Kuczynski, who helped establish a coalition of 17 countries that has met on several occasions to discuss Venezuela’s political and economic crisis.
Kuczynski also rescinded Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s invitation to attend the upcoming Summit of the Americas in Lima, arguing that Venezuela’s government had broken with democratic principles.
___
7:50 p.m.
Peru’s vice president has broken a long silence and says he’s returning home to put himself “at the service of his country.”
Martin Vizcarra has been in Canada, serving as Peru’s ambassador, while a high-stakes political drama has been playing out in Lima. He wasn’t present when President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski offered his resignation Wednesday in an attempt to stave off an impeachment vote by congress.
Vizcarra has maintained a conspicuous silence throughout the weeks-long crisis, leading many to believe he’s been quietly preparing to take over from the embattled Kuczynski.
However, during a previous impeachment attempt in December, he said he would resign in solidarity with Kuczynski if lawmakers succeeded in removing him.
Vizcarra posted a message on Twitter Wednesday saying, “Like the majority of Peruvians, I’m outraged by the current situation.”
But he added he was returning home “to put myself at the service of the country, respecting what the constitution orders.”
___
5:40 p.m.
The head of Peru’s congress says lawmakers have agreed to debate President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski’s offer of resignation on Thursday.
Luis Galarreta made the announcement following a meeting Wednesday with leaders from other parties.
He said Vice President Martin Vizcarra could be sworn in to finish Kuczynski’s five-year term as early as Friday.
Vizcarra has yet to say whether he would try to form a government or resign in solidarity with the president — a vow he made as recently as December, when lawmakers mounted an attempt to impeach Kuczynski.
___
3:07 p.m.
President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski has left the governmental palace after offering his resignation to the Andean nation’s congress.
A small group of aides surrounded the former Wall Street investor and applauded as he stepped out of the building toward a tinted SUV.
Kuczynski waved briefly before entering the vehicle.
___
2:53 p.m.
Peru’s President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski has offered up his resignation ahead of an impeachment vote, citing unjustified attacks by opponents that made it impossible to govern.
In a nationwide televised address, Kuczynski, with his cabinet standing behind him, said he didn’t want to become an obstacle to Peru’s development.
But the former Wall Street investor lashed out at opponents led by the daughter of former strongman Alberto Fujimori for plotting his overthrow with damaging leaks of confidential financial documents that raised doubts about his integrity during his six-decade long career in private business.
“I don’t want my country, nor my family, to continue suffering through the uncertainty of recent times,” he said.
He said the transition would be in accordance with Peru’s constitution. Congress must accept his resignation before power can transfer to Vice President Martin Vizcarra, who is currently serving as Peru’s ambassador to Canada and wasn’t present for Kuczynski’s announcement.
Lawmakers were scheduled to debate impeaching Kuczynski on Thursday.
___
2:08 p.m.
A presidential aide said that President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski has offered his resignation to Peru’s congress ahead of a scheduled vote on whether to impeach the former Wall Street investor on corruption charges.
The aide spoke on condition of anonymity because the president was in the process of recording televised remarks to announce his decision.
If congress accepts the resignation, power would transfer to Vice President Martin Vizcarra, who is serving as Peru’s ambassador to Canada.
___
1:24 p.m.
With Peru’s presidency in limbo, all eyes are on Canada.
That’s where Vice President Martin Vizcarra, who is currently serving as Peru’s ambassador to Canada, has been lying low as the political drama has entered into overdrive.
Vizcarra said that he wouldn’t accept the presidency if Kuczynski was removed during a failed impeachment attempt in December. But he’s remained silent this time around as pressure on the president to resign has gained momentum among some previously unconditional allies.
An employee at the embassy reached by phone told The Associated Press that Vizcarra had left Ottawa for another Canadian city to carry out his diplomatic duties.
___
12:41 p.m.
The head of Peru’s police force has ordered officers to be on high alert as the nation’s presidency hangs in the balance.
The order from police chief Gen. Richard Zubiate went into effect at midnight Wednesday and seemed intended to shore up stability. A police spokeswoman, Veronica Marquez, told The Associated Press that it is aimed at making sure criminals don’t try to take advantage of political uncertainty.
The main opposition party, Popular Force, has called for demonstrations Thursday when congress is slated to vote on impeaching President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski.
Despite the upheaval, there has been little indication that Peruvians are willing to take to the streets to defend or force out their country’s leader, which has been the case in other Latin American nations that have recently seen political chaos at the top.
___
11:50 a.m.
Lawmakers from across Peru’s political spectrum have agreed to investigate five allies of President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski who appear in videos discussing state contracts as payback for blocking the leader’s impeachment.
Congressional President Luis Galarreta made the announcement Wednesday after a closed-door meeting spurred by a deepening political crisis.
He said lawmakers would also probe Prime Minister Mercedes Araoz, who has defended Kuczynski against claims that he had a hand in attempts to bribe an opposition lawmaker.
Pressure is building on Kuczynski to resign after the four secretly-shot videos came to light Tuesday.
