Cops kill cousins

Danrick Campbell

Michael Nattoo – Staff Reporter

Although the police were able to recover an illegal firearm from the community of Irwin on Wednesday morning, residents found little to celebrate as in the aftermath of an alleged shootout, two young men, both cousins, became the latest bodies to tally on the list of 2018’s fatal shootings.

Dead are 19-year-old Owen Jenkins and 21-year-old Danrick Campbell, both of Chelsea, Irwin, St. James.

According to information reaching this newsroom, the men were fatally shot during a confrontation with the police around 3:55 Wednesday morning, but Owen Jenkins Snr, grieving father of one of the deceased insists that those claims could not be further from the truth.

Instead, the grief-stricken father is claiming that his son and his son’s cousin, Danrick Campbell, were victims of unprofessionalism and sloppy workmanship on the part of the lawmen.

UNPROFESSIONAL POLICING

“I was at my home you know, and mi get a call seh police shoot up di house. When I reached the house, I saw yellow tape and I was told I could not pass,” Jenkins recalled to the Western Mirror. He continued: “What I don’t understand is this – if the police get information seh wanted man deh inna di house, a two-room house at that, dem nuh muss get information whether a more than one person live inna di house?”

Jenkins’ frustration was further made evident when he questioned the lawmen’s tactics. “If a one man dem come fa, even if a wanted man, you nuh affi kill him, you nuh can bring him to justice? Why dem jus’ shoot up di place – shoot up di two room dem – and kill innocent people in the process? How dem expec’ parents fi feel under dem conditions ya? We are humans, and dem police ya mus’ change dem ways!”

THE GOOD SON

Jenkins Jnr, according to his father, was not a troublemaker and was an honest son who did not deserve to die in such a way. “If dem [the police] did do dem work pon a professional level, dem woulda know seh mi son was an innocent person. He operated a game shop for his mother in the day and as night come, he would come back home. A Saturday gone me bury mi mother, and he was there with me. I watched him and his sister take pictures at the funeral together and I felt so good, and dem just come kill di likkle yute suh?”

Jenkins Snr additionally explained to the Western Mirror that he was sure of his son’s good character, and that it’s one that the entire community of Chelsea could attest to.

Owen Jenkins

When quizzed as to why his son might have been caught in the alleged confrontation with the police, Jenkins explained: “As far as mi understand, dem did want him cousin, who was there in the house with him, but dat nuh give dem no right to shoot up the house! Mi know seh mi son wasn’t a bad man, him nuh have no gun, and even di next man wa dem kill (Campbell) neva have no gun in all of that! Him neva did a shoot offa dem, but a him dem did come fa,” he affirmed.

Jenkins maintained that had the police been more tactical in their approach, his son would not have been a casualty in their operation.

EVENTS ACCORDING TO THE POLICE

Despite Jenkin Snr’s conviction surrounding the details of his son’s passing, the police reported drastically different circumstances that led to the deaths of both men.

According to their reports, an early morning intelligence-led operation saw a team of officers descending on a house at the aforementioned address, which was believed to be housing wanted men. Details further revealed that the lawmen swiftly cordoned off and surrounded the two-bedroom apartment.

A knock was then made at the front door, following which the lawmen allegedly announced themselves.

According to reports, they were immediately greeted with gunfire. In the height of that exchange, two men reportedly rushed through the backdoor of the house, all the while opening fire on the officers.

The lawmen reportedly took evasive action and returned fire, and shortly after, the shootings subsided. Both men were found in bushes suffering from what appeared to be gunshot wounds. They were taken to the Cornwall Regional Hospital where they were pronounced dead.

A Taurus 9mm pistol fitted with a magazine containing two live 9mm rounds was recovered from one of them.

MOTHER SPEAKS

Ferrista Gordon, mother of Owen Jenkins Jnr, spoke to the Western Mirror, expressing how heartbroken she was at the news of her son’s death. Gordon revealed that her son had just secured a job as a lifeguard and was scheduled to start on Monday.

Investigations are ongoing.

Barber gunned down

Balmain Brown

Barrington Flemming – Staff Reporter

Another family has been plunged into grief with a common law wife stunned into silence as she struggles to come to grips with the death of her loved one, after gunmen struck on Tuesday claiming the life of 27-year-old barber, Balmain Brown otherwise called ‘Shoppy’ of Copse, Hanover.

Reports indicate that about 12:10 a.m., residents heard explosions and summoned the police. The police came and discovered Brown’s body along the roadway lying in a pool of blood with several gunshot wounds to the head and side. He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Brown’s common law wife was too traumatized to speak so his sister, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told the Western Mirror that she and other relatives began to worry when they saw a certain time and they did not see him arrive home as was his custom.

“We did not see him and became worried for his safety. We heard gunshots about 12:08 a.m. and we became even more disturbed.  So we started calling his phone because normally he would come home already. We did not see him so at minutes to 1o’clock we went out onto the road to search for him.

She related that when they did not see him, they began to surmise that he would have heard the gunshots, turned off the phone and was hiding in the bushes.

“We continued to search for him and we eventually saw him lying along the roadside about half a mile from where he lives. It was heartrending to see his body with the blood all around him, so we called the police and they came and took him to hospital”.

Brown, who has been a barber for about 7 years, operated from Barnett Street in Montego Bay. He was the father of a four-year-old son and was described as a jovial person who loved to play football.

“He was the type of person to go to work and come home.  He also loved to play football but he would always come

MoBay Metro bus workers strike

Students and adults were gravely affected on the first day of back-to-school as the workers of the Montego Bay Metro Company Limited went on strike early Monday morning, September 3, at their Bogue office in Montego Bay.

The workers who started striking from as early as 5 am were very clear in expressing their dissatisfaction of the conditions with which they’ve been working under for far too long now.

Among their grievances were having to operate defective buses, issues with their health insurance, and the disparity in pay and treatment between the Montego Bay Metro and its sister company the Jamaica Urban Transit Corporation (JUTC).

Island Supervisor for the National Workers’ Union (NWU) Kurt Fletcher who was also at the strike assured the workers that the union stands with them in mutual support.

“We’ve said to them [the government] on several occasions – we’re not opposed to us reaching parity over time. We’ve put that option to them; we’ve been putting that option to them over the last four years. Now, the workers are very frustrated as you can see. We apologize to the public at large but patience has run out,” said Fletcher.

Perhaps it is the disparity concerning remuneration which has dealt the harshest blow. Fletcher claims that “they’ve become aware that a washer for the JUTC earns more than a driver at the Montego Bay Metro. We work under the same employer/ government. There ought to be no differentiation.”

The JUTC, he says, is privileged to a tax break on fuel whereby they don’t pay the Special Consumption Tax (SCT) but the Montego Bay Metro pays. “In some ways we empathize with the management here at Montego Metro that they are working under adverse conditions where the playing field is not level between the sister companies JUTC and Montego Bay Metro,” lamented Fletcher.

Aggrieved striking workers cheered him on in agreement as he spoke.

The strike affected persons from the parishes of St. James, Hanover and Trelawny. However, information reaching this newspaper revealed that to assuage some of the hindrance of the strike on the students, the workers scheduled four buses to run predominantly school routes to facilitate the children.

Fletcher revealed that he has reached out to the respective bodies regarding the plights of the workers but to no avail. “We’ve written to them early in the summer saying that the school term is coming up let us solve all these issues before the school term comes up. We met with the minister when we asked for the commitments in writing and what we got was a roundabout of some promises,” said Fletcher.

 

Glendevon man’s throat slit

Gary Anthony Williams

The police in Montego Bay, St. James, have launched a probe into the death of a man whose decomposed body was found in the King Street area of the city on Monday morning (September 3, 2018).

He has been identified as 20-year-old Gary Anthony Williams of Sun Valley Road, Glendevon.

Williams, it is suspected, was killed elsewhere by unknown assailants and his body dumped where it was discovered in bushes by residents of 16-and-a-half Upper King Street about 11:15 a.m.

The police report that citizens stumbled on the body and contacted the police. On the arrival of the lawmen, Williams’ decomposed body, with its throat slit, was seen wrapped in two multi-coloured bedspreads and large plastic bags bound by masking tape.

Williams was last seen alive by relatives on Friday about 10:30 p.m., when he left home to visit friends at nearby Blood Lane, also in Glendevon.

On Saturday, relatives reported him missing to the Montego Hills Police when he failed to return home and calls to his cell phone went unanswered.

Crammed and smelly

The entrance to the Ministry of Labour’s temporary office at Cottage Road in Montego Bay

  • NIS office condition irks workers and clients

“The place don’t smell good, inside smell like a dog weh waan bathe. Di office too small and hot and mi feel like mi going to throw up. Lord have mercy!”

These are words of a frustrated 72-year-old female pensioner (who spoke on condition of anonymity) when she visited the Western Regional offices of the Ministry of Labour’, now temporarily housed at 3 Cottage Road in Montego Bay.

The plight of the pensioner was also that of other persons who were forced to wait outside and are buffeted daily by sweltering heat and a dust nuisance.

“This is unacceptable.  My grandmother is inside but uncomfortable because di place smell frounzy. Why we have to be out here in the boiling sun, dust a blow up inna wi face and all that? A dis thing this, just to get some service in dis place,” said Marcene Bremmer who accompanied her grandmother to the office.

The reception area saw several persons crammed into a space much too small to accommodate them.

One man, Jason Dunston, who was inside said: “This is a disgrace.’ They move the office to say they are doing repairs at di odda building and put the office here, it is not a good set up at all. Di place small, it smell bad and it hot. The A/C blowing hot stinking air. The government need to do something bout it. This can’t continue,” Dunston said.

On a visit to the office, several persons were seen sitting on a ledge outside, some under a small tent and some persons were placed under the staircase to sit on metal chairs.

“This is what we come to? I caan deal wid dis. Mi outside inna di heat and mi haffi wait how long before mi go inside a di stinking place,” murmured a woman.

WORKERS FRUSTRATED

Meanwhile, staff morale at the office is reportedly at an all-time low, as workers are said to be growing increasingly frustrated with the conditions. The workers have indicated that their ability to function well is being seriously hampered as they are crammed into a much too small space, leaving from a too storey building at Sam Sharpe Square, which housed several departments and managers offices.

The Western Regional Office of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security and its related services was relocated from the building at Sam Sharpe Square to the present location over a year ago, to facilitate repairs to the building. The building was also said to be impacted by the flood waters which washed into several commercial building in the city last November.

Winston Lawson, President of the Montego Bay Chamber of Commerce and Industry, recently raised concern about the condition at the Western Regional office, citing that it was not ideal, especially for senior citizens.

Shanine Robinson Minister of Labour in a terse statement on Tuesday while addressing the Ministry’s Quarterly press briefing in Kingston said:

“We have noted the concerns of our stakeholders regarding this arrangement. We want to rectify this as soon as we have met with some key stakeholders, including the Montego Bay Chamber of Commerce to identify an appropriate alternative to this regional office.”

HOW I LEARNED TO FLY

Flying

Michael Nattoo

Interesting fact: there’s a cut directly in the middle of my forehead. When I was much younger, I was playing a game of hide-n-seek with my cousins and crashed my head onto a doorknob… Well, that’s the story I’d tell most people.

The true story? I tried to fly. Guys, I kid you not. I went on some steps that were really high up and jumped. By the time I realized gravity was really real, no amount of arm-flapping I did could’ve stopped my descent to certain embarrassment, a really bad concussion and a narrow escape from a few broken limbs. Never again will I attempt something like that… without wearing a cape.

I honestly felt at that moment that I could defy gravity and that I would have a good shot at succeeding at it. You may call it being stupid, but then 14-year-old me (Yes, I was 14. Don’t judge me), got his first taste of what Jane McGonial refers to as Urgent Optimism. McGonial spared me the trouble of putting that whole concept into words, when she aptly described it as: “… the desire to act immediately to tackle an obstacle, combined with the belief that we have a reasonable hope of success.” And dammit, I was ever the optimist, and now, I’m even more so. Sure, I’ve made this about me so far, but if you look closely, you’d realize that I’m actually talking about us. Yes, you sitting there rolling your eyes. And yes you, sitting there wondering why I don’t just say what I have to already. Yes, this is for all of us. For all of you.

MILLENNIALS ARE STRESSED

Did you know that for the last four years, the American Psychological Association’s research on stress has found that millennials, followed by Generation X, are the most stressed in the world? The research indicated that millennials reported nearly twice the level of stress that’s considered safe from serious health risk. What this means is that almost daily, we suffer from anxiety, anger, irritability, and depression. Of course, that’s no surprise to any of us reading this. Millennials have long been held, perhaps unofficially, as the poster children for depression and all its many variants.

We’ve been made to work more hours, for less; we were brought up on the ideals that consistent hard work guarantees success, yet we live in a reality that seems fundamentally opposed to those concepts. It’s all a mess really. But, at the end of the day, amidst being written off crybabies for the most part, we have had to make do with the hand we’ve been dealt. Now, remember when I told you I jumped and tried to fly and ended up busting my head (by the way, I was unconscious for a couple of minutes)? Yeah, that was not because I didn’t know better. I was always told: “Mikey, flying for humans is impossible”, “Mikey, Power Rangers aren’t real”, and “Mikey, don’t be stupid. Use your head.” I took only one of those wise teachings to heart – I used my head. Now, separate and apart from the fact that I almost damaged it, I actually used it.

CRAZY TALK

At the time, I reasoned that perhaps, maybe if I dared the impossible, maybe if I generated an almost ridiculous sense of optimism, the universe – God, would reward my willingness to break free from my ‘groundedness’. Yes, I was clearly wrong. But after I woke up from that brief period of dizziness, I laughed for a bit. Though people around me were running with me and panicking, I remember thinking to myself, had the ground not been there, I would have flown!

Bear with me for a bit. Yes, that was OBVIOUSLY crazy talk. And kids, DO NOT TRY THAT AT HOME… or anywhere else, but I think I learnt so much from that experience. So much that I’ve now put into practice in my day to day operations. And so much that perhaps my fellow depressed and anxiety-ridden millennials could perhaps adopt too.

From that experience, here’s how I built up to doing it, even while I was very much aware of the consequences if I had failed. I eliminated the negative, restrictive thinking. In essence, for a brief moment, I became aware of other possibilities outside of the ones my failure reinforced. I shifted my thoughts from fear to peace with the outcomes, and in my fearlessness, I became free to explore new terrain. So I jumped.

POSITIVE NEUROPLASTICITY

The next moment happened: I was airborne. This happened quickly, but in my descent, I accentuated the positives I could derive from the experience. This is all urgent optimism. I thought of how it felt for a brief moment to be floating, despite such being downwards. (Yeah, laugh it all up).

I later learnt that my decision in that moment to defy the laws of physics came from what is referred to as Positive Neuroplasticity. “Positive neuroplasticity is the shift in mindset that rewires the brain to change the stress-provoking auto pilot that is the brain working against you to an auto pilot that enables the brain to work for you, accessing the IQ, creativity, calm, and optimism that solve problems and achieve goals. It’s a higher state of mind stimulating the higher order brain function that generates a higher quality of life.”

Now, isn’t that something? In my moment of clear stupidity, I was actually thinking in a heightened state… at least that’s what I’d like to believe. The point is, we are all capable of doing it. As millennials, being that we are characterized as a depressed generation with almost all of the evidence pointing to this, we certainly need to learn this skill.

Our depression, failures, and anxieties do not and cannot define us. It’s hard, but we can decide to try something completely out of the box with the hand that we’re dealt. If something doesn’t work, the next thing will, and if that doesn’t work, the next thing will, and so on and so forth.

I learned to fly… technically. So can you.

 

MOTORISTS BEWARE!

IT’S COMING: Dr. Horace Chang, Member of Parliament for North West St. James and Minister of National Security, is animated as he speaks about the new traffic management system soon to be introduced in Montego Bay. - Barrington Flemming photo

Barrington Flemming – Staff Reporter

In another 12 days, the authorities in the Western City of Montego Bay will be stepping up the crack down on traffic violators with the introduction of the long awaited multi-million-dollar traffic management system, which will see motorists under the watchful eyes of surveillance cameras.

National Security Minister, Dr. Horace Chang, who is also Member of Parliament for North West St. James, made that announcement as he spoke at The North West St. James Town Hall meeting at the Montego Bay Cultural Centre on Friday to give an update on infrastructure development in St. James.

“The traffic management system for downtown is not yet ready, but it is proceeding with the synchronizing of the lights; the fibre optic is in place for the main road and an additional fibre optic cable is being installed and other aspects of the system at a cost of 25 million dollars.”

He further explained that the lights would also be outfitted with cameras with license plate identification capabilities. The installation of the cable and cameras will take place within another 15 days (from August 30) and will be directly connected to the traffic management centre at the St. James Municipal Corporation.

“The room is already identified and prepared for the installation of a video 46-inch diagonal wall mount monitor which has already been procured and delivered to the Municipal Corporation and these works will be completed within the next fifteen days,” Minister Chang disclosed.

Dr. Chang said a traffic ticket will be generated from the central system which will be sent directly to Tax Administration Jamaica and the offending motorist will have to visit the TAJ office to pay the requisite fee.

“It means you cannot beg your way off, no matter how many friends you have. You cannot ask anyone to remove your traffic ticket because it is going straight to the tax office. So, when you go there you will have to deal with the traffic ticket as you engage in other transactions including the renewal of licenses, paying insurance and so on.”

Dr. Chang said with the new system, he along with the city fathers are hoping to restore order to the city and reduce the chronic levels of congestion which plague the city.

He said the city has long been waiting for a proper traffic management system and this time it is being delivered in good time.

Kerr’s sharp-shooting lifts Knights

RESOLUTE: Displaying some of their sterling defensive shows, the Montego Bay Cricket Club Knights’ trio of Omroy Kerr (1st left) captain Jhuan Bryan (C) and Rayon Gardiner hotly contest an attempted jump shot from the electrifying Michael Schloss during   Saturday’s Western Basketball Elite match played at Montego Bay Cricket Club. Knights clobbered their opponents 83-62 to shoot to the top of the standings by a single point.         Noelita Lawrence photo

Omroy Kerr put on three point shooting clinic as the in-form Montego Bay Cricket Club Knights soared to the top of the Western Basketball Association Elite League standings with a devastating 83-62 trouncing of former champions Catherine Hall All Stars in Sunday’s match played at the Montego Bay Sports Complex.

Kerr, who had a hot hand early on from behind the arc, exploded for five threes, three in succession, and also effected three steals just under the basket in accumulating a game-high 27 points for the efficient-looking Knights.

Playing at a high tempo and with a complement of just six players, Knights cantered to the big 21-point margin of victory to move to the top of the standings with 27 points, just one ahead of the defending champions Granville Jaguars.

Antonio Spence, who missed a host of lay-ups, ended with 22 points and 13 rebounds, while Omar Campbell, 10 points, and Jhuan Bryan, 12 and 18 boards, also had good scores for the Knights. Rayon Gardiner contributed 12 and 10, along with 9 steals, a near triple double.

They also ticked off a 13th victory of the season, while effecting a third on a jaded-looking All Stars team, slow from the blocks and unable to garner any momentum throughout the contest which ended in darkness.

For the All Stars, who had to endure some very physical contact low down in the paint, Odane Whittaker and Mikhail Smith were two of three in double figures with 17 and 16 points respectively, as they plummeted to the heavy beating.

Smith also collected 10 rebounds.

Knights were in ruthless form from the opening whistle and cantered to a 30-6 lead, all but wrapping up the match.

All Stars came back in the second quarter with an impressive shooting, but it proved too late as the Knights had already tied the winning bow, going on to outscore their opponents 36-33 in the second half.

SAINTS PRESS

Meantime, Holland Saints returned to winning ways with a narrow and losing scoring, 49-47, victory over Sav Elite Titans in Saturday’s match-up.

Aldane Anderson bagged 19 points for the winners, while hauling down 8 rebounds and Kenrick Lindo supplied a double-double, 10 points and 15 boards.

David Jarrett with 14 rebounds and 7 points also gave support.

For the Titans who won back-to-back games last week, Troy Reid scored a team-high 16 points, while Rushane Drummond added 13 points and bagged 20 rebounds.

 

Vendor claims victimization

Vendor Arlene Palmer o/c 'Dor Dor'

  • Shop at Charles Gordon Market demolished

In what she is calling a blatant case of victimization, well-known vendor at the Charles Gordon Market in Montego Bay, Arlene Palmer, popularly called ‘Dor Dor’, is raising serious questions as to why her shop at the market was demolished on Sunday without her being verbally informed or issued a formal written notice.

“I don’t know why my shop was demolished. I was not given a written notice, neither was it communicated to me verbally.  I don’t know if it is because I am outspoken and spoke about the mismanagement of the market. I am not getting any word from Mr. Lee, the CEO, Mrs. Pamela March or Mayor Homer Davis, who are responsible for the market”.

Miss Moore further argues that she is not in arrears, having paid $ 47,000 in April to the St. James Municipal Corporation for shop rental and has kept her account up to date, showing the receipt she paid last week for $500.

“I really need answers. No other shop was demolished or broken. So I need to know why my shop. What have I done Mr. Homer? What is the problem? I don’t give any problems and it seems like I am being targeted because I speak up about issues in the market.  I need them to pay for the goods that were destroyed and the money that I had in the shop. Saturday was a big day for sales, so I need to know about my money,” Moore contended.

It was only on the weekend that Moore and other vendors expressed concern of an alleged plan by the St. James Municipal Corporation to lease a section of the market to Chinese businessmen, which would mean that a number of shops would be demolished.

Moore alleges the Market Manager Serrio McIntosh, was intent on having her shop demolished, but she has not been able to communicate with him since Monday. Repeated efforts to contact Mr. McIntosh proved futile.

However, when contacted, Mayor Davis rubbished Moore’s claims, calling them foolishness. Responding to the demolition of the shop, he said Miss Moore had wrongfully occupied the area and was told on numerous occasions that she should not erect any structure in that section but she stubbornly disobeyed and built a shop.

“She was advised that she should not build in that area. This was not her original area, and she went overnight and constructed a shop which was blocking other’s activities. It was not sanctioned by Mr. McIntosh, neither the Commercial Services Manager Mrs. March, so on Sunday, Mr. McIntosh went and demolished the structure and packed her things to one side,” Mayor Davis explained.

Quizzed as to why then was rent being collected from Miss Moore, up to last week, Mayor Davis referred the matter to Mr. McIntosh, who up to press time, was unavailable for comment as his phone went directly to messages.

 

 

CUMI here to stay!

21
Nurse Joy Crooks

The rising concerns that CUMI will be closing down post the impending departure of its biggest champion, Nurse Joy Crooks, who has been with the institution since its inception, is but a farce and farfetched assumption.

In an exclusive interview with the Western Mirror Crooks attempted to set the record straight by dispelling all qualms regarding the future of the institution. “We’d like to reassure the public that CUMI will not be closing, but it will continue to deliver services with a new person as the head of CUMI,” she said.

A founding member of the institution that was launched in the early 1990s, Crooks announced last year that she will be leaving CUMI and Jamaica for London sometime this year. It has not yet been decided who will take her place or when she will depart.

“I might be leaving, but that does not mean that CUMI is closing down. It will continue to deliver service to the community. Yes, they are currently having difficulties replacing me, but they are still trying to fill the vacancy. CUMI has become a very important part of mental health recovery. If they were to close, there would be a gaping hole in the community delivery of mental health services.”

She was also keen to note that, “The organization is an independent entity separate and apart from Joy Crooks.” There is a Board of Directors to ensure that the mission, vision and goals of CUMI are being achieved. Therefore, if Crooks leaves, the task then becomes theirs in sourcing the next able and capable replacement to guarantee that the institution continues to carry out its duties to enable the mental rehabilitation of persons in Montego Bay and surrounding areas.

Further to that, Crooks is reminding persons that CUMI is a community-based non-government organization that continues to deliver services and will continue to do same long after she has left.

A philanthropist at heart, Crooks is appealing to persons to contribute to CUMI’s cause. “If they want CUMI to continue, they should support it in order to use it to the best of its ability. CUMI is not here because of Joy Crooks and it is not hers. It belongs to Montego Bay,” she said.

One way in which the organization keeps afloat financially is through the CUMI Come Run. CUMI Come Run is the organization’s major fundraising event and will this year undertake its tenth annual 5K Run/Walk and10K Run which will be held on September 22 at the Tryall Club in Hanover. In addition to that, the institution welcomes donations all year round. This can be done on their website at www.cumimobay.org. Registration for the CUMI Come Run can be done online at runningeventsja.com.
