A Barbados delegation which recently returned from the UK and the African continent was not entirely funded by Government.That is according to Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Kerrie Symmonds, who today stoutly refuted criticisms that Government was spending unnecessary money by travelling with large delegations without seeing any real benefits.Symmonds was responding to comments made by vice-president of the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) Paul Gibson, who called on Prime Minister Mia Mottley to disclose how much money the overseas trips were costing taxpayers and to disclose how they were benefiting the country.But Symmonds, who was part of that delegation that journeyed to the UK, Egypt and Rwanda, said he was “saddened” by the state of politics on the island.He said not only was there not a large Barbadian delegation, but a large portion of the trip was funded by the Inter-American Development Bank and the UN Foundation for Climate Change.

John Ashley Bellamy, a Dallas artist and arts patron, died Tuesday, Dec. 8, at age 77. For many Dallasites, Bellamy’s death also means an end to a long-standing holiday tradition: the annual Christmas Eve party where eclectic crowds gathered each year to celebrate at Bellamy’s home, an old church known as the Moon Mansion.
The mansion served as a refuge for those seeking warmth on a night that can feel awfully cold for loners, and Bellamy was, for many, a big part of Christmas. He was a father that anyone would have dreamed for, Bellamy’s son, Gaelan Bellamy says. He provided all of the tools for what it would take to become a loving, caring, empathetic individual with integrity, and he really had all of those in spades … he did his best to pass that over to his children and all of those he would mentor. [His] reach was far and wide.”
