How many of you watch reality TV? We don’t! We coundn’t avoid hearing the buzz around the popular ABC Show The Bachelor. One of the more interesting episodes was filmed in Barbados recently. We understand that Barbadians will be able to eyeball the finished product next week. As we understand it the show is about a young handsome bachelor who is wooed by a number of beautiful single women. At the end of it all some lucky girl gets to marry the Bachelor. In the process many of the girls will go all the way, hint, hint, do what it takes to command the bachelor’s attention and eventually his love.

Senators-owner Eugene Melnyk & Founder Of Biovail Charged With Fraud

 

Owner of the popular Bert’s Bar located in Barbados and the Canadian Ice Hockey team Senators has been charged by regulators in Canada for accounting fraud. Melnyk and three executives of the company Biovail Corporation have been charged for misleading investors about the pharmaceutical company’s financial results. It is no secret that Eugene Melnyk has made Barbados is home. No doubt one of the attractive characteristics of Barbados can be seen in a billionaire living in Barbados comfortable in being sequestered from the limelight.

We know that Mr. Melnyk is ‘loaded’ and will no doubt have the best lawyers available to represent him.

At BU we are always happy to see government partnering with private sector to develop Barbados. More companies need to come forward and help to mobilize development in the country. In the interest of transparency, we are asking that Minister Lynch tells the public something about the set-up of the company and other relevant details behind the Sapphire Beach Project. The development is where the bulldozed Dover Convention Centre was located. We are please… it appears that something will be rising into the skies from that location soon, after several years of nothingness. This now explains why Minister Lynch was hesitant to reveal information on the famous Sunday Brasstacks program a couple months ago. We find it interesting because a search of the registered companies in Barbados reveals that Sapphire Limited was created in 2004 when quizzed by Adrian Loveridge!

Was Lieutenant-Colonel John Nurse Responsible For The Glendairy Riot And Burn-out~Why Was He Protected By Mia Mottley?

 

PRISON OFFICERS were asked to sign a petition seven years ago, aimed at urging authorities to rescind the appointment of Lieutenant-Colonel John Nurse as Glendairy Prisons’ acting superintendent. This claim was made yesterday by a temporary prison officer who joined the service after Nurse had taken up his position, but had heard about the petition in 2001. In fact, Arleigh Stoute said he knew a colleague who had actually signed the petition.

Many Barbadians continue to ask why has Lieutenant-Colonel John Nurse remained the prison boss for seven long years in the face of strenuous opposition from the warders in his command. After witnessing the unprecedented burning down of the island’s only prison, the publics outcry has risen. BU is forced to ask the question, can a manager who does not have the confidence of subordinates effectively manage to achieve the goals of the job? If the answer to the question is no, the next question is what should management do about it? Relying on feedback, observation and discussions with people close to the prison, BU know that Nurse uses outdated autocratic, dictatorial and sometimes rude qualities which we can write; generously describes his management style. Many say that it would have contributed a lot to why hell broke lose at Glendairy Prisons on the 29 March 2005.

 

Terry Donalson (or Imposter) Visits a Barbados Discussion Forum and Provides Insight About Glendairy Prison Before the Melt Down

Look what we found after surfing the Bajan Chats this morning. Terry Donaldson the Caucasian prisoner who wrote a book about life at Glendairy Prison with a focus on the arson at Station Hill appears to have visited Barbados Forum, a bajan discussion forum. I hope Mia Mottley, Dale Marshall and the recent Commission set-up to investigate the burning down of the prison are all reading his comment, and he has promised more. His comments are not complimentary to John Nurse at all and the system. His website certainly reveals a lot more. A further check of the Internet toss up interesting discussion over on the Barbados Free Press some time back. BU hopes that the Commission of Inquiry into the Glendairy prison uprising when it tables its report does not languish in a desk draw some where like the St. Joseph Hospital report (but we all know that report was used by the wily political strategist Owen Arthur to kill Brandford Taitt’s political aspiration)

I remember Officer Blackman from Glendairy. Although one of the Dogmen he wasn’t himself such a bad fellow. I used to look through the bars of my cell when I was up on _ corridor and see him up on the first floor of the Officer’s Quarter’s giving karate lessons to the female officers. He was- is, I should say- a blackbelt. There would be times when in the course of his duties he might be pressurised by felow officers or inmates but- frm what I saw- he always acted with the restraint and composure that befits a man that holds that rank or degree in karate.
