Christopher Stone

Noelita Lawrence-Ricketts

He was just getting to know his mother when she was violently snatched from his life more than a decade ago, but young Christopher Everton Anthony Stone has managed to keep himself motivated, out of trouble and is now one of Montego Bay’s most tenacious and versatile football players.

Standing just above the ground, the diminutive Stone, nicknamed ‘Jackie Chan’ and ‘Romario’, was born on July 22, 1996 to mother Bernadette Mairs, more popularly known as ‘Lorraine’ (deceased)  in the lively and never-sleeping community of Mount Salem.

Now 24 years old, Stone says he has only one sibling and is the first for his father but the only one for his late mother.

‘Jackie Chan’ who is a past student of prominent high school Rusea’s in Hanover, also spent time at St. James High and told the Western Mirror that from an early age, around 13, he had harboured thoughts of becoming an American soldier, a position he would use to safeguard his family. He says though time has seemingly ran out, he remains committed as it’s an aspiration he still thinks he can achieve.

He told this entity, “I passed my primary exams from Mount Salem Primary and Junior High for Rusea’s and spent 4 years there, Grades 7-10, before personal reasons forced me to switch, completing a year at St. James High.”

He has been around the sport of football since he was a boy, and he says though not here to physically guide him, his mother (Lorraine) remains a big influence on him playing the sport. “In all that I do, it’s like I always remember that my mother was said to be a very talented, revered and accomplished player and I always wanted to follow in her footsteps,” he noted.

He was a part of the history-achieving Hopewell team which went to the semi-finals of the Western CONFED two seasons ago, but is now on the books of Faulkland, where he’s into his second stint. He has also represented ABES, Youth in Action and once had a spell with Portmore United in the local Premier League.

An extremely versatile player who is soft-spoken and speaks with a stutter, he is capable of efficiently operating at right back, left back, forward and even as an attacking midfielder, a position he says he really expands in when he gets the chance to play there.

Stone says the ongoing impact of the Coronavirus is crippling on him in every way possible. “Financially, I’m not able to do certain things as football was my way of earning primarily and personally, it has left a toll on me, not being able to go out as often as I usually do to play and compete for honours in the sport I truly love. This pandemic has just left me sitting with nothing to do.”

  33. Note that the itch.io version here is cheaper than the Steam version because it does not come with Steam Workshop support (Steam doesn’t allow it!). Level editor and custom levels are still totally available, you just have to load the levels manually from a URL. Solo players have the help of two AI companions, Kelvin and, later on in the game, Virginia. The AI has improved significantly, but it is still challenging to survive in nature and defend against the mutant cannibals who have made the remote island their home. The multiplayer features are definitely a factor in the first game’s success, so it is a welcome addition to Sons of the Forest. Here’s everything players need to know about playing Sons of the Forest online with friends. Any key or mouse click to move, except which are used to change calibration, and C for calibration screen.

    It’s also been made more compatible with older hardware, and thanks to the windowed mode, you no longer need to worry about having the specs for certain resolutions. As the official update post notes: “For those into retro computing, Worms Armageddon has been seen to once again run on systems of yore…” According to a new video uploaded to the Team17 YouTube Channel, a new Worms game will be released sometime throughout 2020, but how will it be different from the previous entries in the series? Well, according to Team17, the developers behind the Worms franchise, this new Worms game will like nothing gamers have seen before, and there will be “new worms, new ways to play”. There’s not a lot to spot in the teaser today. It’s a teaser trailer for what will probably be another trailer, honestly. The first half of the video is a trip down memory lane with Worms of years past starting with Worms and ending on Worms W.M.D. Then your new invertebrate friend comes crashing into the party, smashing history and batting a bomb off-screen. Then a crown explodes. Typical. Is this when we shout “Worms battle royale confirmed?”

    How to play on Windows This mod adds a new species to the game: Siats, an extinct genus of large theropod dinosaur known from the Late Cretaceous Cedar Mountain Formation of Utah, United States, for which it was named. The generic name is derived from the name of Siats, a man-eating monster in the Ute mythology. Can you infect the world? Quite a few mechanics in Valhalla are similar to that of Origins and Odyssey, however there is more focus on the stealth aspects for both traversing the game world and in combat. The game also relies less on the traditional levelling system, and instead focuses more on the selection of skills through skill trees selected by the player as they advance through the game. And finally, while you wait for the June 12th release of Jurassic World Evolution, check out the gameplay video and nine 4K PC screenshots below, exemplifying the level of fidelity that’s possible with the world’s fastest graphics cards.
