CAUTION ON ACQUISITIONS – Government has been cautioned by the Opposition People’s Party for Democracy and Development (PdP) about the manner in which it wields its power of compulsory acquisition of private property. In fact, spokesperson for the party, Reverend Paul Leacock, said governments must ensure that when such power is exercised it is unquestionably for a good national purpose. According to him, justice must be seen by the citizens to be done and power must never appear to the citizens to be abusive by the state. Addressing the matter of compensation of owners of properties acquired under the Land Acquisition Act during a press conference at the Office of the Opposition in the Parliament Building yesterday, Leacock said anytime there is a compulsory acquisition it should be just.

DEATH LEAVES MOTHER IN SHOCK – Margaret Gill is still in shock that her only son Mark Gill is Barbados’ latest road fatality – the tenth for the year.

Police reported that the vehicle Gill was driving collided with a tree. When a Sunday Sun team visited his mother yesterday afternoon, she was surrounded by family and friends. (DN)

GRIEVING MOM SAYS MARK GILL WAS A ‘GOOD GUY’ – Margaret Gill, the grieving mother of 27-year-old Mark Gill who lost his life in a vehicle accident just after midnight, has described her only child as a “good guy” who was multi-talented. “I am trying to be brave. I am really trying. But I guess when reality kicks in I will feel my little punches. So far, I haven’t eaten anything for the day and I don’t feel like eating. I feel like I lose weight already and it is just a couple hours since he has passed. “He is great. He is gifted. He can pick down a car, he can sand it down, he can paint it, he can do anything with a car. He used to work with his dad [Lance Gill] at Auto Repairs Centre [located in Strathclyde]. He just went for his truck licence on Wednesday so he could buy a truck,” Gill said, as she spoke proudly of the young man who she said had a bright future ahead. As she reflected on her son’s life outside of their Strathclyde, Bank Hall, St Michael home, Gill said Mark, who attended Charles F Broome Primary and The St Michael School, studied Information Technology and Business Management at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus. Mark was the sole occupant of the motor car, a black Mitsubishi Evolution, registration XD92, which was travelling in a northerly direction along the highway from the area of Holborn circle towards Walmer Lodge. The vehicle reportedly veered off the carriageway to its near side and collided with a tree. Mark died on the spot. Ambulance personnel and fire rescue personnel responded to the scene. “Last night was not easy. One of his friends called and told me that he got in an accident. I said ‘he hurt?’ and he start to cry. So, when he started to cry, I told him I coming there now. I grabbed the keys and I got in the car. I got in the car and I don’t know how I get down there. I was just devastated just to hear that he got into an accident. “Then, when we got there, we saw the police got the road cordoned off is when I realized that something serious has happened. I say ‘somebody dead’. I and my husband sit down and waited until the police called us, a Rasta guy gave us some water,” she said. The mother recalled that the last time she saw Mark was around 6:30 p.m. on Friday when he left home to go for a haircut just a short distance away. She said he had also told her he was going to get something to eat and eventually hang out with his friends, as they usually do on Friday nights. Mark often spoke about fixing up the plantation house in St Lucy where he intended to live, his mother said. He had also decided that he wanted to go on a European cruise with his family next year. Margaret said her son, who always talked about visiting Europe, was excited about exploring Germany. She said those plans to travel have to be now pushed aside, to make funeral arrangements. “Sorry he had to go so soon. He had all of these plans on travelling. But everything is in God’s hands is all I could say because we always pray. God knows best. Everybody say they would meet at Christmas, but I guess there will be one person missing. It was a lot of fun with him around at Christmas,” Gill said. She said while the tragedy has shaken the entire family, her husband who worked with his son just yesterday evening, was finding it especially difficult to come to terms with the loss. (BT)

DCCA ADVISES NOT TO USE ROMAINE LETTUCE FROM CALIFORNIA - The Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) is advising Barbadians not to consume romaine lettuce from California. In a statement issued through the Barbados Government Information Service this evening DCCA said, “ As the agency under the Ministry of Small Business, Entrepreneurship and Commerce charged with the protection of consumers, the DCCA is, therefore, advising all consumers not to use any romaine lettuce from Salinas, California,” as they reported that they are investigating an outbreak of illnesses caused by E. coli O157:H7 in the United States. E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium which can cause dehydration, bloody diarrhoea and abdominal cramps for about two to eight days (three to four days, on average after being exposed to the organism). Most persons recover within a week, but some may develop a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). The Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs supports the statements by the US FDA and FSIS, and is, therefore, recommending that consumers here in Barbados: Avoid eating romaine lettuce and salad mixes containing romaine lettuce from the Salinas in California; Read their labels carefully and return any of the affected lettuce to the retail outlet from which it was purchased; If ordering salad which contains romaine lettuce at a restaurant or at a salad bar they should ascertain whether the romaine lettuce came from the Salinas, California. If it did, or if it is not known, it should not be eaten. Moreover, restaurants and retailers should not serve or sell romaine lettuce which was harvested from Salinas, California. If information about the source is not available, it should not be served or sold. (BGIS)

FOUR Ps PROFIT SPARTAN – Preparation, practice, planning and performance by multiple players were key planks in Spartan’s winning the Barbados Cricket Association’s Elite Division title this season. Long-standing coach Dave Marshall made this declaration after the Parkites defeated Wildey by 204 runs yesterday to clinch their first top-league crown since 2010, when they shared the title with Sagicor Life UWI, and their 21st overall. “The whole mindset of the players this season was completely different. They were more focused on winning the Cup this year. They were more disciplined at practice and they put in a lot of hard work and we planned well,” Marshall told NATION SPORT after the triumph.

COACH: PRIDE CAN DO BETTER – BARBADOS PRIDE topped Zone A of the Colonial Insurance Super50 Cup but coach Emmerson Trotman feels there is room for improvement. After completing the group stage with six wins from their eight matches with an impressive seven-wicket victory over Canada at the Conaree Cricket Centre in St Kitts and Nevis on Saturday, Trotman stopped short of giving his team full marks. “I would grade my team at eight out of ten. We lost a couple of games that we should not have lost. We have got to understand that when we have a team under pressure, we have to dominate and complete the job,” Trotman told CWI Media. (DN)
