â(I) demand to know why everything has gone up in price. It seems that companies are just taking advantage of a bad situation.â
Of course, Mr. Edwardâs is referring to the COVID-19 pandemic.

âExcept we have (Governor) Whitmer in office still, who does not like to see small business open, and only corporate stores open.â

COOLIDGE – Windward Islands Volcanoes will chase 306 to win the second semi-final of this year’s West Indies Super50 Cup.
West Indies international Shimron Hetmyer collected his seventh List A hundred off 113 and fellow left-hander Raymon Reifer gathered a List A career-best 90 to lead the Jaguars batting in the day/night contest at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua.
Hetmyer survived an early, close call and cracked 11 fours and five sixes in his 80-ball knock, and Reifer struck eight fours and three sixes from 104 balls.
Volcanoes fizzle

NORTH SOUND, Antigua – Fast bowler Akeem Jordan flattened Windward Islands Volcanoes with a devastating five-wicket haul today, to earn Barbados Pride their first win of the Super50 Cup and keep alive their slim chances of a semi-final spot.
After Justin Greaves (76) and Shamarh Brooks (61) compiled half-centuries to propel Pride to 286 for eight off their 50 overs at the Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium, right-armer Jordan (5-26) sliced through Volcanoes’ batting to send them crashing for 113 all out in the 35th over and to a heavy 173-run defeat.
Veteran opener Andre Fletcher top-scored with 34 and captain Sunil Ambris got 26 but they were the only two of the specialist batsmen to reach double figures as Volcanoes tumbled from 60 for one in the 14th over, to lose their last nine wickets for 53 runs.
