PARTICULARS OF THE PERSON RECOMMENDED FOR THE
ORDER OF FREEDOM OF BARBADOS
MR. PATRICK DOUGLAS FROST, SCM, BJH was educated at The Lodge
School and subsequently at the University of Oxford obtaining his graduate and
postgraduate degrees and, later, postgraduate qualifications from the University
of Bristol.
He joined the staff of his alma mater in September 1962 as an English Teacher.
Influenced by teachers like Sir Alexander Hoyos and David Poe, both officers
in the then Association of Assistant Teachers in Secondary Schools (AATSS),
he joined this organization, later serving on its Executive as a Staff
Representative for the Lodge School. Thus began his long tenure and
unflinching dedication to the trade union movement.
Patrick’s elevation to the position of General-Secretary in 1968 sealed his fate.
He masterminded profound, progressive change in that organisation, writing the
new Constitution with its transformation to the Barbados Secondary Teachers’
Union (BSTU) and spearheading most of the accomplishments of the Union
since then. The BSTU can proudly boast as having been responsible for all the
benefits and privileges Barbadian teachers presently enjoy and Patrick’s worth
and selfless labour became a constant in this regard. He was at the forefront,
successfully negotiating many significant achievements with Government.
His work with this Union continues until the present.
Patrick’s demonstrated superior intellect, tenacity and unquestionable integrity
coupled with his fairmindedness made him a prime candidate for the post of the
first General Secretary of the newly formed Coalition of Trade Unions and Staff
Associations of Barbados, later, CTUSAB. He served with unparalleled
distinction until 2000 when he was elected as its First Vice President.
Presently, as Life Vice-President of the organization, he still actively
contributes to its work, remaining an important resource on information and
guidance.
As an officer of CTUSAB, formed at a crucial time and with a vital purpose in
the evolution of this society, Brother Frost played a decisive role in influencing
policy, legislation and procedure that remains instrumental in securing and
maintaining an approach to governance that has largely been responsible for
societal harmony and economic development in the country. He was, and
continues to be, very actively involved in the drafting of the Protocols, 3, 4, 5, 6
and 7. His role in the conceptualization and functioning of the Social
Partnership, since its inception in 1995, has contributed immeasurably to its
status as being the envy of the world as a governance model.
Patrick’s talents and commitment have won him the respect of successive
governments and Prime Ministers who have openly demonstrated regard for his
sound counsel and solid contributions in Barbados’ industrial relations.
Patrick Frost remains the consummate “professional” trade unionist. He has
served selflessly with humility, dedication, honesty and a fierce sense of justice.
His work has ultimately benefitted all workers in Barbados through his
contribution at the levels of the BSTU, CTUSAB and the Social Partnership and
has redounded to the benefit of the wider economy and society.
The accolade of ORDER OF FREEDOM OF BARBADOS is being conferred
for his dedicated service as an educator and sterling contribution to the trade
union movement.

AWARD OF KNIGHT OF ST. ANDREW
BRIGADIER GENERAL RUDYARD EGGLETON CARRINGTON
LEWIS, GCM, CVO, JP assumed command of the Barbados Defence Force
(BDF) in 1980 during a period when there was grave concern for the stability of
the Caribbean region.
Brigadier Lewis most capably assumed the responsibility of equipping and training the BDF as an elite professional military entity to treat to the security challenges of that era. Concomitantly, recognizing, that like Barbados, several
other Eastern Caribbean nations lacked the resources needed for their territorial
defence, Brigadier Lewis was assigned the responsibility of organising a
regional security organisation which would jointly respond during times of
crisis in the interest of collective regional security.
Thus, the Regional Security System (RSS) was formed in 1982 and Brigadier
Lewis was appointed Regional Security Coordinator. He served in that capacity
until he retired in 2003.
Although the vision of the RSS originated with the Prime Ministers of the
Eastern Caribbean, the operationalization of that vision fell to Brigadier Lewis.
The RSS is the only organisation of its kind in the world where multinational
military and police forces successfully work in unison towards regional defence
and security. Regionally, Brigadier Lewis is recognized as the architect of this
successful regional security mechanism which continues to contribute to our
social and economic development.
During his outstanding military career, Brigadier Lewis enjoyed countless
achievements which positively impacted Barbados and the region. He
spearheaded the expansion of the Barbados Cadet Corps in 1980, leveraging
military resources for the critical youth development programme expanding the
compliment of Cadet Companies from 4 to 18 secondary schools. While this
process began in 1978, Brigadier Lewis ensured that the full expansion was
applied to all public secondary schools in Barbados including the establishment
of a Cadet Corps Headquarters unlike any in the region at that time. His
leadership and mobilization of the BDF, as a national resource, to ensure the
successful delivery of CARIFESTA 1981 was central to bringing efficiency and
organisation to planning, coordination and subsequent execution of this
important regional event.
Brigadier Lewis’ outstanding command and leadership of the Caribbean
Security Force during the Grenada Intervention in 1983 is internationally
recognized and acclaimed. Similarly, his efforts to unite CARICOM Battalions
for the US-led Multinational Force Peacekeeping Operations and subsequent
UN Peacekeeping Mission in Haiti between 1994 and 1996 gained high praise
regionally and from the US Government.
Brigadier Lewis also conceptualized and designed the CARICOM Disaster
Relief Unit (CDRU). The CDRU is a critical operational unit comprised of
personnel from various CARICOM Member States and exercised, trained and
deployed as the region’s first response in the aftermath of severe weather
systems. Brigadier Lewis saw the need for this mechanism remains as
important to the region now as when it was created 30 years ago.
The accolade of KNIGHT OF ST. ANDREW is being conferred for his
extraordinary achievement and meritorious service to the military in Barbados.

appointed as the Medical Officer in charge of the Mobile Testing Team. As the
officer in charge of the team, he routinely and personally led the Testing Team
in the field whether at the Ports of Entry or in the community.
The initial stages of the global pandemic were characterized by high levels of
uncertainty, fear and anxiety. Despite this, Dr. Rajamanickam showed resolute
dedication to his duty and approached his job with a high level of
professionalism. In every respect, he placed his national duty to his country
before himself. His leadership and expertise was an integral part of the
Ministry’s efforts to screen the passengers of several cruise ships anchored of
Barbados’ coast for COVID-19.
Due to the aforementioned fear and uncertainty created by the COVID-19
pandemic, and the restrictions preventing the cruise ships from entering the
Port, the cruise ships could not berth in the Deep Water Harbor. Nonetheless,
there was an urgent requirement to test the crew and passengers of the various
cruise ships anchored of the coast of Barbados to ensure that they were not
infected. The possibility of passengers or crew members of these vessels
succumbing to the life-threatening effects of the virus was high and therefore
screening needed to be conducted urgently. Dr. Rajamanickam led the COVID19 Mobile testing team as they performed these high risk assignments to sail out
to the cruise ships and screen the passengers and crew.
Due to the unorthodox docking arrangement and the massive size of the cruise
ships, this officer placed his life and well-being at great risk to board the
vessels, by climbing forty feet up and over the side of the ships by a rope ladder
which was suspended from the side of each cruise ship. This method of
boarding a cruise ship is very dangerous, for persons who are not members of
the crew, and is only employed as a last resort in emergency circumstances.
The danger was increased by the fact that he was clad in full COVID-19
personal protective equipment and carried the testing kits onto and off the vessel
and has no experience in maritime operations. On completion, Dr.
Rajamanickam was required to descend the ladders with the samples into a
waiting Barbados Coast Guard vessel and take the samples to the Best Dos
Santos Lab.
Dr. Rajamanickam braved the strong winds, treacherous conditions and the
choppy seas to conduct swabbing for the COVID-19 virus and in so doing,
possibly saved the lives of many cruise ship passengers who were on board
these vessels and unsure of their status. To lead these perilous missions, which
involved an inherent risk of injury or death displays a level of bravery which
has been lauded locally and internationally.
Dr. Rajamanickam demonstrated great courage and commitment in difficult and
dangerous conditions during the initial stages of Barbados’ response to the
COVID-19 Pandemic and by so doing contributed immensely to the safety and
security of Barbados. He placed the health and well-being of others before his
own at a time when Barbados was COVID-19 free and not fully equipped to
manage the ravages of the pandemic.
The Accolade of BARBADOS STAR OF GALLANTRY is being conferred
for his courage and selfless effort to restrict the entry of the COVID-19 virus
into the island during the initial stage of the global pandemic.

MS. MOVELLE JORDAN, JP was born in Marley Vale, St. Philip on
January 1, 1958, the daughter of Ms. Viola Jordan, a labourer. Like most
children in the district – which has produced the present Governor General, Her
Excellency Dame Sandra Mason – Movelle had her early education at the St.
Catherine’s Primary School. Though clearly possessing potential, the lack of
financial resources prevented her from attending secondary school. Due to her
family’s impoverished circumstances she was compelled to stay home and help
her mother take care of the home.
Fortuitously, it was this set of circumstances which led her to develop a love of
cooking and other culinary skills. Honing these skills and driven by a demand
for her cuisine from an increasing number of satisfied patrons, she decided to
take the plunge and enter the catering industry in the early 1990s. From then
she did not look back, registering Kejamos Catering in the year 2000.
She has been active in the industry for over 30 years catering for all, from the
man in the street to the occupants of Ilaro Court.
This road has not been easy. As a young female businesswoman she has had to
overcome many obstacles ranging from a lack of funding to resistance from
those who felt that she did not belong in what was then a male-dominated
sector. It must be recalled that when she entered the catering business there was
no assistance in cash or kind from the government unlike what pertains today.
Nevertheless, she persevered and with the help of the Almighty and those who
recognized her tremendous potential she has become a success in the catering
services. Her business is now well established, and well known for its high
standards.
Although over the years she has had to devote most of her energies to her
chosen career, mindful of the path she herself had to trod, she has found time to
do charitable work in her community. In this regard she has served on the
St. Catherine’s Church Council in various capacities; she has served on the
Executive of the St. Catherine’s Sports and Social Club; she has been the
driving force behind the revival of the St. Catherine’s Primary School Old
Scholars Association which aims to assist the poor and needy children of her
alma mater; in recognition of her standing in the community she was asked to
serve on the Planning Committee to organize the “We Gatherin’” activities for
the parish of St. Philip. Unfortunately, this work was suspended as a result of
Covid-19. Ms. Jordan was also recently elected as Public Relations Officer of
the Barbados Labour Party St. Philip North Constituency Branch.
Ms. Jordan has a deep love for her heritage. This could be seen in her 2015
NCF Crop Over Heritage Bus Tour dramatic performance; and her depiction on
village life in Marley Vale in the 1960s on the CBC programme My
Community in August 2020 and her leadership that the St. Catherine’s Old
Scholars pay tribute, in the form of an annual luncheon, to National Hero the
Right Excellent Bussa and the other martyrs in the 1816 Rebellion which was
started a mile from Marley Vale at Bayleys Plantation. The first luncheon under
the patronage of the Governor-General was held in mid-April 2019 and was a
resounding success.
In recognition of this pillar in the community in 2020 she was made a Justice of
the Peace where she has been able to advise and assist her parishioners in
various areas.

contribution to the catering services in Barbados and her work in the community

safe arrival. The residents depended upon Mr. Harper in no small measure his
selfless acts and to this day, grown men and women in the community still
demonstrate their respect for his community efforts and always refer to him as
Mr. Harper.

sterling community service in particular assistance to the elderly.

TYRONNE LEROY SCANTLEBURY, J.P. is married and with one
daughter. He is respected and admired by all in his community, where he
assists the elderly and the youth.

and counsel many people from his community. Over the years, he has helped
many young people in making critical decisions about their future. He has been
a positive influence in their lives and has helped many of them to overcome
what appeared to be insurmountable emotional crises.
However, perhaps what he is most known for is his accessibility by those who
have problems which need went to be addressed by one or other department of
government. Mr. Scantlebury assumes full responsibility for resolving the issue
and relentlessly pursues the matter with the relevant government agency until it
is finally and fully resolved.
A true community man!

recognition of his community service and, in particular, his work with the
elderly and the youth.

MR. IRVINE STREETE might be a familiar name in Barbados, but in some
communities and especially the Bayville community, the name “Big Red” is
more famililar.
“Big Red”, as he is affectionately known, has dedicated his life to the sport of
bodybuilding and has contributed to the development of many young
bodybuilders in Barbados, serving both as a training coach and life coach. He is
still actively involved in coaching the sport and his community gym is always
full of eager new entrants to the sport.
He has also been actively involved in the administration of the sport, helping
with its development at the national level.
Barbadians look forward to seeing “Big Red” among the best dressed men at
Queen’s Park every Christmas morning. He is a community man, a sports
enthusiast and a champion for the sport of bodybuilding in Barbados.
The Accolade of BARBADOS SERVICE MEDAL is being conferred for his
contribution to the sport of bodybuilding and community service.

AWARD OF THE BARBADOS SERVICE MEDAL
MR. WINFIELD TROTMAN of Road View, St. Peter is a father of 4 and
grandfather of 2.
He has committed most of his life to the tourism sector of Barbados. He has
worked as a water sports operator for over 31 years both as an employee and a
self-employed person. The last 13 years has been spent working in the hotel
industry as a boat operator.
Mr. Trotman enjoys working in this industry because he gets the opportunity to
communicate and interact with persons both locally and from overseas. Over
the years, he has had some interesting conversations on various topics, such as
suggesting places of interest to visit and night life in Barbados. Mr. Trotman
also considers his culinary skills to be quite good and has even ventured to
prepare some local dishes for visitors to our shores.
Some of his hobbies and enjoyments are diving and spear fishing, playing road
tennis and having interesting conversations. Mr. Trotman loves the sea and has
been spear fishing for over 40 years. This enjoyment affords him the
opportunity to relax in the tranquil waters of Barbados, feed himself and others,
and also earn some additional income. Most evenings he can be found playing
road tennis and chilling with some of the persons in his neighborhood.
Mr. Trotman has done various things in his community over the years, such as
assisting persons, especially the elderly, in carrying out chores/errands,
constructing and assisting with the preparation of some tennis courts in the
community, and he has had the unfortunate pleasure of saving a number of
persons, both locals and tourists, from drowning. Assisting in his community
comes natural to Mr. Trotman as it is something that he has always done.
The Accolade of BARBADOS SERVICE MEDAL is being conferred for his
contribution to the tourism industry and service to the community.

MR. GLENROY HACKETT has been employed as a ranger at the National
Conservation Commission (NCC) for over twenty-eight (28) years. He was
assigned duties at numerous venues during these years, namely at Folkestone
Beach, St. James. Within recent years, however, he has been assigned duties at
the Farley Hill National Park, St. Peter.
As a young inquisitive, ambitious and daring boy, Glenroy who is more
familiarly known as “Boy Blue”, explored the beaches. He would swim, dive,
fish and frolic in the waters with his siblings and friends for many hours each
day. He possessed excellent swimming and diving skills which he honed during
his exploits.
During his role as a ranger, he always had a keen eye for sea bathers, especially
during the summer time when Folkestone Beach had record numbers of
revelers.
On one occasion in the past, Glenroy, with his vigilant eyes, was able to dive
into the treacherous waters to save a young St. Lucian University of the West
Indies female student who got into difficulty while swimming.
On another occasion, he rescued a middle-aged male swimmer, who was a guest
at Sandy Lane Hotel, from the jaws of the raging sea.
In February 2007, Mr. Hackett performed a similar feat with the assistance of
another male. The two gentlemen performed the Herculean task of rescuing
three male swimmers who met difficulty while in the sea.
Mr. Hackett continues to pay a keen interest in the safety of others as he spends
most of his days exploring the waters around Barbados
The Accolade of BARBADOS BRAVERY MEDAL is being conferred for his
