FEES TO INCREASEAS the Government continues to strive to get the country back on a sustainable growth path, Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley said revising various government fees is likely to occur to assist in raising much-needed revenue. However, Prime Minister Mottley contended that these fees will not be raised willy-nilly. She was speaking yesterday during the Barbados Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s first business luncheon for the year at the Hilton hotel, which was held under the theme ‘Envisioning 2020: The Path Towards a New Decade’. “With that, we are still on target because we made decisions to be able to increase our taxes on land, assets and we made some adjustments to one or two other things in last year’s Budget. I believe that we are pretty steady. Some of the fees that we are going to have to deal with ... are fees that have not been touched for 20 years, 30 years, 40 years and it therefore means the delivery of the service is hampered. If we try to bring the provision of those services back on to the central government, then this country will face continued erosion, and we are not going to do that at any cost,” she told the packed room of business leaders. She said successive governments were unfortunately unwilling to confront the issue of fees and increase them by any amount. The PM made the point while using bus fares as an example, which she said had Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley (right) chatting with Director of Finance, Ian Carrington (left) and Chairman of the Private not been increased for more than Sector Association, Edward Clarke, following the Barbados Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s first business luncheon a decade prior to her Government’s for the year at the Hilton hotel, which was held under the theme ‘Envisioning 2020: The Path Towards a New Decade’ yesterday.

Celtic put four past Motherwell to earn sixth straight win CELTIC extended their winning run since the winter break to six games with a comfortable 4-0 Scottish Premiership win at Motherwell. Odsonne Edouard scored in each half, with Leigh Griffiths and Callum McGregor also netting after the break, as Celtic recorded an 11th consecutive domestic away victory by sweeping aside the league’s third-placed side. The result ensures Neil Lennon’s men stay seven points ahead of Rangers, who scored late to beat Hibernian, though the Ibrox side have a game in hand. Despite their heavy defeat, Motherwell remain three points ahead of Aberdeen in third. Celtic had looked like a well-oiled machine after their winter break, but Motherwell would make this a real contest in the first half. Initially the champions appeared to be ready for more rampage, with their menacing 3-5-2 formation causing problems with Edouard and Griffiths up front. However, Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson had insisted his side would take the game to Celtic, and they did.

P R O HOROSCOPES S A ARIES (March 21-April 19). In these early N stages of a relationship or project, you may be D in the mood to conceal your thought process. After all, what gives them the right to know C O everything that's going through your head? N S TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There's no getting around it; mad notions inspire crazy reactions. Your best bet is to steer clear of those who tend to rope you into bad situations. Also, know that you won't be able to dip but a toe in. Consider this a rip tide.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As for this re- Z lationship, you'll understand it in retrospect, I but you have to live it forward. Remember T this and turn your brain off for a while in S favor of enjoying togetherness without so much chatter in your mind.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When people get more animated (or even more upset) than you're comfortable with, just remember that it takes a great debate to stir a great passion. R E LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your fears about X what's next will be allayed with the entrance of a friend who is doing exactly what you M want to be doing in five years. This shining O example will cause a change in your priori- R ties. G A VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Are you dis- N covering yourself or creating yourself? The answer is: both. Don't be too self-conscious about it, and keep going until you're out of this awkward middle stage.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You can say the P wisest words ever uttered to a fool and it H wouldn't register, as the very nature of fool- A ishness is that it doesn't embrace wisdom. In N light of this, perhaps you should save your T breath. O M SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Here's a rad- ical idea: When the fun part starts, instead of pulling out your phone to document it, open your eyes, throw out your arms and fully live it instead!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The M truth is that you could do and be more if you A had the support system to push you to higher R places. Go on; create that for yourself. Ask for Y it. You deserve big love and tender care. W CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You're al- O ways looking for new ways to apply your tal- R ent, give your creativity and use your intelli- T gence in the world. It helps that right now H there is someone around you who deeply ap- preciates who you are.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Yours is not M a hot head or a quick temper. Still, you have O your moments. Tensions may rise around a T Scorpio or Sagittarius or around anyone who H you believe is judging you. E R

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The saying G goes that it's better to starve with the good O than feast with the evil. You're in a position O of eating moderately well with people who S have a little of both in them, which makes E things more complex.

EMPLOYMENTFORTY Barbadians seeking HOPE employment could land themselves jobs working in the housekeeping depart- ment at Canada’s Blue Mountain Resort. Senior Recruiter,John Barrie, and Human Resources Coordinator, Lauren Struthers, were both on hand at the Ministry of Labour and Social Partnership Relations yesterday where they conducted inter- views with potential candidates. Barrie explained that this is the third time Blue Mountain has sought to recruit staff from Barbados. He added that those selected will work with the resort for a period of one year and they will commence work in “April, May or June, when- ever we can get all the paperwork and everything done”. The recruiter said there was great interest shown in the past by locals in working at Blue Mountain and there has been a similar response on this occa- sion. “The last year I was here – which was a year-and-a-half ago – we interviewed 115 people for 30 spots, and this year I think we are interviewing 40-ish.” He continued, “Some have al- ready been chosen because they are already returning, so we will Blue Mountain Resort’s Senior Recruiter, John Barrie (left), and Human Resources Coordinator, Lauren Struthers (centre) in be looking at 40 people for conversation with Senior Employment Officer responsible for the overseas programmes within the Barbados Employment Career & maybe 15 to 18 spots.
