Good Morning "DREAM CHASERS" How are you folks this morning? Those of you who missed out on on our THROW BACK THURSDAY #TBT Trivia session last night missed out on #tonsoffun we we relived some good ole childhood tv series. Now let's get to the NEWZ. Bajan superstar Robyn RIHANNA Fenty is about to be sued for not paying the $300,000 cost of her grandmother Clara Brathwaite's funeral. Now that doesn't sound right at all. RiRi too loved her granny so why wouldn't she pay? Hmmmmm well it seems RiRi was represented by an agent named ADRIAN ELCOCK who contacted James Wilson of James Wilson & Company Ltd to handle the funeral arrangements which came to $ 301,793.31 of which he was only paid $72,970 and not a cent more from agent Adrian Elcock who was acting on RiRi's behalf....Well let's just say the BTA is about to get some more free international press. Barbados’ tourism officials are launching a fresh effort to boost traffic from the island’s main source markets amid new information showing another decline in arrivals.The programme allows guests to receive “free spending money” based on their length of stay for use at participating attractions and restaurants while here. Meanwhile the Amaryllis Beach Resort and closed sister property Sandy Bay Beach Club are up FOR SALE.The principal of the Cave Hill campus of the University of the West Indies today voiced concern about the future of that institution, even as he pleaded with the Freundel Stuart Administration not to cut off free educational access to Barbadians. I understand Hillary not wanting to lose funding but UWI has too many time-wasters up there. Any person under who is a full time student who takes longer than 4 years to complete an undergrad degree should be made to foot the full cost of their education. Free Education can no longer be sustained and all these young people up on the hill that waste time especially when they FETE & FAIL need to understand that the tax-payers can no longer pay for their soirees. Barbados will soon have food production zones across the island. Minister of Agriculture, Dr. David Estwick, said this afternoon that such zones would contribute to the needs of small farmers. PRIME MINISTER Freundel Stuart should remove Senator Dr Esther Byer-Suckoo for her consistent mishandling of critical matters as Minister of Labour, says Leader of the Opposition Mia Mottley.“The job of holding the Social Partnership together is clearly beyond Minister Suckoo,” Mottley said, “and the Prime Minister ought to recognize that and allow someone who can hold it together to assume responsibility of the Ministry of Labour. Mia gin unleash the beast just now!! According to the New Competitiveness Survey Barbados needs LEADERSHIP to get out of the current economic crisis. I hope that they were not paid for this survey because they are not telling us anything that we don't already know. Barbadian Ryan Gittens is doing all he can not to be deported from the USA. Convicted and jail for drug possession he has lost every case of appeal which he hoped would allow him to stay in the states. Pack your bags son they are sending you back as fast as they can. We need to adopt some of those policies when dealing with foreign convicts. As soon as they have served their send them back from whence they came!!Fire raged in the early hours of Thursday morning at the quiet East Coast road in St Andrew, where three houses were destroyed and two others damaged. Well everyone should have recovered from Crop Over by now and getting ready for back to school shopping and I better now hear "things too expensive or ah break!" wink :) lol Have a great day folks <3 StEPH
