The AG’s comments came as he indicated that Government has appointed an additional three judges, making a total of five judges, who sit to hear criminal matters. But, he lamented that it is still not sufficient to reduce the backlog and so they took a decision in the last financial year that the DPP would review the oldest of the files and determine whether it was appropriate to pursue the cases or not. “Our challenge, Madam Chair, is that our prosecution staff is engaged daily on the business of prosecuting the matters in the High Court.

Though members of the private sector have lent their support, a young artisan by the name of Nicholas Braithwaite has gone a step further in pro- viding a much-needed landscaping eye to the project. “I always felt like I could do something, so I started small. It was after the students came back from vacation, and I [see] the beautification project getting fully under way, I said OK, I will do some- thing. I decided to start a small garden inside the compound, and another on the outskirts. I then took cuttings of plants, grew them back from scratch, to be able to plant new fresh ones in this area. I am doing it out of my own free will, and with God’s grace. I am unem- ployed, but I felt like I could make a difference, so I just started.” Minister Kirk Humphrey, whose min- istry has been assisting in the project, said that he was pleased to be a part of the exercise. He hoped that other communities would take note, and begin similar projects for their schools which are in Participants of the Detention, Investigation and Prosecution of Trafficking in Persons course, hosted by the CARICOM Implementation need.

And we have therefore to be care- ful in believing that we can then decide to force the hand of the commercial banks in this case,” he said. Mascoll added, “However, it is fair to say that the government, having gone the route it has gone in offering all kinds of Barbadians access to finance, whether it is $5000 or less from the Trust Fund, or $150,000 or less at FundAccess or more than $150,000 at the Enterprise Growth Fund, that the Government it- Krishawn Greaves received the silver Shareeyah Boyce received the Fourth year student, Kemal Boyce with self has played a major role in making award on the Principal’s Honour Roll silver award on the Principal’s Honour his silver award on the Principal’s such funds available.” and the Year Group Award.

The Warwickshire player will instead return to Birmingham after England’s two-Test tour of Sri Lanka. “I want to play for England as long as possible,” said Woakes, 31. “That’s still the pinnacle for me.” Woakes has played 33 Tests, including three of England’s six Tests over the winter, and was a member of the World Cup-winning Woakes was a member of England’s 2019 World Cup winning squad. squad last summer.

P HOROSCOPES R O ARIES (March 21-April 19). Whether S you're head over heels, falling for someone or stumbling toward ecstasy today, the implica- A tion is the same -- your joy will be at least N partly obtained through a loss of control. D TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Lovey-dovey, C honey-bunny, puppy love: The amorous heart O is also the animal heart these days and you'll N be thinking -- or rather, not thinking -- along S those lines as you fall in love this weekend. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The reason you're so relaxed is that you know who you are, you can stand behind all you've done, and you have nothing to hide. A clean con- science and a confident swagger go hand-in- hand. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll dis- creetly avoid anyone whose company feels Z negative to you. This will keep you out of I harm's way. Your life will remain unfettered T by social annoyance. S LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When your achieve- ments don't seem to be taking form to fit your preconceived purposes, rest assured there is something better out there for you that you simply haven't discovered yet. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you're tired, hungry, lonely or otherwise stressed or com- promised, this is not a time for making agree- ments of any kind, let alone binding appoint- R ments, deals or promises. E LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If it doesn't work X out one way it will work out another. So there's no reason to get overly anxious at the M ups and downs of simple logistics. A relaxed voice and presence will take you far. O SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your honest R assessment of the situation sometimes sounds G a little more cynical than you would like it to, A but that doesn't make it any less accurate. N Stand in your truth. If you don't wish to offend anyone, stand quietly in it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You'll be earning good karma as quietly as you can. It's as though you already know that anony- mous good deeds earn more points than loud ones. P CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There may H be something unsettling eating at your thoughts, and that could have an effect on A your digestion. Can love heal this? When N your heart is content, your body will follow T suit. O AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Different M social configurations inspire good things in your life now, especially your love life. So try to be open-minded about the couples forming or dissolving around you. Change will favor you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Remember when you had to ask the one in charge for everything you needed and wanted? Now you M celebrate your autonomy. Revel in it by doing A what you don't need anyone else's permis- R sion to do.
