Triple Olympic champion Usain Bolt will compete at the Athletissima 2009 IAAF Super Grand Prix meeting in Switzerland next month, organisers confirmed yesterday.

Bolt, who captured three gold medals at the Beijing Olympics last summer, will line up in his favourite event, the 200 metres. Last year the towering sprinter flashed to 19.63 seconds in winning the event in a slight head wind, just weeks before sizzling to his world record mark in Beijing.

recovered quickly

Bolt, 22, showed that he recovered quickly from the injuries he suffered in the April 29 accident when he sped to a world best 14.35 seconds in the 150-metre street race in Manchester on May 17.

The organisers have also confirmed that Cuban world 110m hurdles record holder Dayron Robles, Australian pole vaulter Steve Hooker, along with Panama's Olympic and world long jump champion Irving Saladino and former world champion Bernard Lagat, will make appearances

A real 'cow bawling' echoed through the Supreme Court building, last Friday, from a teenager who was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment for the fatal stabbing of another teen.

Adrian 'Sanchez' Nicholson, 18, of Newlands, St Catherine, wept uncontrollably as policemen escorted him from the courtroom after he was sentenced.

Nicholson, who was on bail pending sentence, believed that since he had pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was on bail awaiting his sentence, he would be given a non-custodial sentence.

Persons who heard Nicholson crying stopped to find out the reason.

They were informed that Supreme Court Judge Gloria Smith had just sentenced Nicholson to seven years' imprisonment for manslaughter arising from the death of Kymani Hill, 13, of Power Avenue, Newlands. Nicholson was charged with murder but he pleaded guilty to the lesser offence.

stone throwing

Hill was fatally stabbed on November 30, 2006, after he threw a stone on a zinc fence near to a games shop in Newlands. Nicholson, who was in the shop, came out to enquire who threw the stone and a dispute developed between them.

After Nicholson stabbed Hill, he was chased, beaten and stabbed by residents and had to be taken to hospital.

The judge said despite pleas from attorney-at-law Jean Barnes for Nicholson to be given a non-custodial sentence, she had to send him to prison because "life was too precious and people must respect the sanctity of life".

The court was told that after Hill threw the stone, people in the community were "egging on" the accused and the Hill to fight.

The judge said that instead of crying for peace, the adults were egging on the violence. She said too many lives were being lost, especially young lives because of that type of behaviour from adults.

Nicholson's lawyer, in making a mitigation plea, said that Nicholson should be given a non-custodial sentence because it was the action of the adults which brought about "this sordid state of affair".

Dr Kevin Harvey, senior medical officer in the Ministry of Health's National HIV/STI Control Programme, says the decriminalising of commercial sex work, buggery and the strengthening of other legislative framework could better assist the ministry in providing HIV services to at-risk groups.

Speaking during a Gleaner Editors' Forum, held yesterday at the newspaper's North Street head offices, Harvey said the ministry had difficulty providing services to commercial sex workers and homosexuals because both activities were illegal in Jamaica.

"These legislative framework have, to some extent, led to persons falling under these legislation being unavailable to us," Harvey said.

Complicated

"For example, the buggery act and commercial sex workers, all of those things are illegal, so how do you legally provide services for persons who are engaged in illegal activities?"

Spencer

Respondents in a motion, which former state minister Kern Spencer has filed seeking full disclosure from the director of public prosecutions (DPP), are to file affidavits by next Monday.

Spencer, who is facing charges stemming from the multimillion-dollar Cuban light bulb scandal, has taken the DPP to the Consti-tutional Court.

The hearing was put off yesterday, until June 11, when the parties came before Justice Lloyd Hibbert in chambers, to give the respondents time to file affidavits. The DPP and the attorney general are the respondents.

Spencer is seeking to get full disclosure of the conversations between DPP Paula Llewelyn, or agents of her department, and his former co-accused, 45-year-old businessman Rodney Chin, or Chin's lawyer.

A release yesterday from Deputy Commissioner Mark Shields said the lawmen would be interviewed in due course, but because of the ongoing investigation their identities could not be disclosed at this time.

Speaking with The Gleaner yesterday, Assistant Commissioner of Police Leslie Green confirmed that an assistant superintendent of police has been jailed.

"But he has not been charged," said ACP Green.

The policemen were arrested after the top bra** of the Jamaica Constabulary Force reopened a case into the disappearance of Kemar Walters and Oliver Duncan, who were allegedly abducted on December 23, 2004.

The police reopened the case, following a Gleaner investigation which had revealed that members of the police force and civilians were involved in a major auto-theft ring at the time.

Although the residents of Sligoville in St Catherine believe that a $248-million mini-stadium built in their community just over two years ago is being grossly underutilised, head of the committee established to oversee its operations says plans are afoot for its further use and development.

A gift from the Chinese government, the stadium has been idle for most of its existence. When it was first opened, it boasted a basketball and netball court, a cricket oval, a football field and a 400-metre track. Today, it appears to be nothing but a playing field with seats and while residents are grateful for the facility, they believe its full potential is not being harnessed.

underused

Frederick Blye has lived in the community for more than 40 years. He told THE STAR, "Wi have likkle local tings, like some football or cricket, but nuttin big nuh gwaan ova deh. It need fi use more man. Sometimes all six months pass an it nuh use."

The facility is not fenced and Blye believes this is a major detractor as it makes it almost impossible to host major paid events. He said a water problem in the wider community has also affected the stadium as its only source of water is that delivered by trucks. He said, "If yu a have a event ova deh, di wata wha di truck carry might nuh enuff an u know seh if u a have a event, yu haffi have wata."

Mark, another resident, agreed with Blye and added that the lack of proper lighting at nights is also working against the stadium. The residents say when events are held at the stadium, a temporary source of power is provided by the Jamaica Public Service Company. There is no permanent source of light.

They all agree that the general upkeep of the facility is poor and much can be done to maintain its appearance. Mark told THE STAR: "Dem ignore it. Di gra** nuh weed or nuttin. Only when event a gwaan, dem wi fix it up. It waan put to use man. Why spend so much money if it nah go use?"

But while the residents believe the stadium is going to waste, Dr K.D. Knight, former member of parliament for the area and current head of the stadium's management committee, said big things are in store for the facility.

Knight told THE STAR that a meeting is to be held with officials from the University of Technology (UTech) this week to discuss the possibility of the University using the grounds both for training and hosting events. He said: "What I'm trying to do is to see how I can team with UTech. The board has given its approval for us to meet and have discussions with UTech and we're meeting with Professor Morrison this Thursday."

erect wall

He said there were also plans to erect a wall around the stadium to make it more practical to host paid events. With regard to the issue of lighting, he said this would be addressed soon, but said the stadium was designed for daytime activities. "It wasn't built to have stage shows," he said. "Whenever stage shows are held there, the field is damaged with those big trucks and rehabilitation is difficult. They can use it to its fullest in the days."

He said the stadium was used 27 times last year between March and December and said the Emancipation celebrations that were held over three days last year will be an annual event. Several events, he said, including a local 20/20 cricket competition, are also on this year's calendar.

R&B sensation Jazmine Sullivan will be rocking the Sumfest stage come Friday, July 24 when Summerfest Productions takes over Catherine Hall in Montego Bay for the 17th staging of the 'Greatest Reggae Show on Earth', Reggae Sumfest.

Johnny Gourzong, executive director of Summerfest Productions, in a release noted that he was excited that the 20-something-year-old songstress will be able to bring her flavour to spice up the Festival's International Night I.

"We are really pleased that we've been able to confirm Jazmine for the show. We have been pouring over a list of possible international acts, and she was one of those artistes who really jumped out at us. She's been having a phenomenal year on the music scene internationally, and some of her songs are even reggae inspired," said Gourzong.

"We're looking forward to seeing Jazmine in Montego Bay for Reggae Sumfest. We are gearing up to present an exciting show, a real entertainment explosion starting from the Beach Party on Sunday, and ending with International Night II on Saturday," he continued.

The festival - which starts with a beach party on Sunday, July 19 and goes into three nights of live performances from Thursday, July 23 to Saturday, July 25 - will also feature rap music luminary Nas and reggae royalty Damian 'Jnr Gong' Marley, as well as Bounty Killer, Mavado, Etana, Tarrus Riley, Busy Signal, and a host of other local talents.

Jazmine Sullivan broke on the international scene with the help of rap and hip-hop icon Missy 'Misdemeanor' Elliot, and has since enjoyed solid runs on charts, radio stations and concert venues worldwide.

She hit a note with music lovers when she released Bust Your Windows and again struck gold when she followed up with Need You Bad and Lions, Tigers and Bears.

Come Friday, July 25, she'll add the Reggae Sumfest stage to her growing list of worldwide performances. Summerfest Productions will take over Montego Bay from July 19-25.

Magnum Queen of the Dancehall, Tiki, is at the forefront of producer Scatta's new captivating 'Hindu' rhythm.

Scatta said the female deejay, who is signed to his label Outaroad Records, did a song called Tiki Wine on the rhythm.

"She is signed to my label so at the moment, I am making her a priority of any venture that I am doing," Scatta told THE STAR.

"She record it (the song) like that. The song drop in at the ideal time and she have the little wining thing going," he said.

Tiki says she is currently endorsing her song Tiki Wine. She said she had enjoyed working on the rhythm and it complemented her song.

general idea

Scatta said the rhythm was created about three weeks ago by him, his engineer, Shady, and his friend, Purple, who is from India. Scatta said he had the general idea of the type of rhythm that he wanted to do, but Purple provided the Indian flavour. With Jamaican and Indian expertise, the 'Hindu' rhythm was finished in one hour on a Sunday afternoon.

But there are other contestants who entered the Magnum Kings and Queens of the Dancehall competition, who are on the rhythm. Rage did Hindu while Tanto Blacks did Ticklish.

In reference to Tanto Blacks' song, Scatta said: "It fit the rhythm like a glove, so we hope him get the justice 'cause is really a humble youth."

There are other established artistes on the rhythm, like Degreeand Elephant Man. Scatta said Elephant Man did not hesitate to voice his Belly Dance song on the rhythm as he got Billboard success from Scatta's 'Coolie Dance' rhythm with his song Jook Gal.

An infuriated Duaine 'Ras Ghandi' Bowen ignored remarks by MC Nuffy, as the singer attempted to bring closure to an ongoing 'verbal war' between the two.

Nuffy, born Andrew Nelson, had harsh criticisms for Ras Ghandi when he phoned THE STAR's North Street-based office last week.

Nuffy said he has become concerned by rumours about him, which he attributed to Ghandi, and said he wants to clear the air.

"Well, Ghandi a walk and tell people seh me rob him. He and I are not friends since 2007, so why would he go around calling up my name?" Nuffy quizzed.

negative things

He further added: "You (Ras Ghandi) a go all 'bout and tell people all sort of negative things about me when we were friends for some 20-plus years. I just can't believe I am hearing this out of his mouth. Like it's a personal thing."

Nuffy also said Ghandi made disparaging comments about his sexual orientation and is using his name to draw attention.

"Through him not 'hot' and not getting any stage shows, he's going around with my name telling people that I robbed him then calling me a homosexual. Why would I rob him when is me make Ghandi fly the first time?" he said.

However, when contacted, a furious Ghandi quickly dismissed claims of being involved in any rumours.

He also reversed Nuffy's claims saying the popular emcee has been using other media outlets to cause mischief.

Ghandi, known for the songs World Gone Crazy and I'm Wondering Why, also credited himself with much of Nuffy's success (of being one of Jamaica's top emcees) before he fiercely lashed out at the comments directed at him.

"Everything that Nuffy learned in music, I am the one who taught him," he said.

like a dog

"Nuffy is like a dog to his own vomit and no boy can beat me up and then mi friend him back," he said in reference to Nuffy's recent endorsement of 'Gaza', a crew lead by deejay Vybz Kartel, who was previously involved in an altercation with Nuffy.

"Kartel box him in his face and all these things and now him a follow up the man. I don't say 'Gaza', a 'Love' me seh."

The 11th staging of the Portmore Awards, which is put on by Nuffy, will take place on July 11 at Caymans Park. Nuffy said Ghandi, who resides in the dormitory community, is not welcome.

"Right now a Gaza me say and him won't be on Portmore Awards, so him can stay. He can't come to the 'Gaza Awards'," said Nuffy.

Meanwhile, Ghandi said he is moving on from this episode.

"Right now, it takes two to start an argument and I'm a big man, and I am not into the tracing," he said

OCHO RIOS, ST ANN - Former postmaster general, Dr Blossom O'Meally-Nelson, says most of the financial problems now facing Jamaica and the rest of the world are as a result of human greed and corruption.

OMEALLY-NELSON. we need political leaders who put people above politics

Technological advances, she added, have facilitated the greed and corruption.

According to Omeally-Nelson, if Jamaica's financial crisis and other issues were to be properly addressed, strong and responsible leadership would be required from a wide cross-section of the society.

The former postmaster general was speaking at the St Ann Chamber of Commerce annual awards banquet on Saturday night here.

"We need political leaders who put people above politics, who govern with a greater vision, who serve with a greater purpose, whose character and conduct inspire the confidence of the populace and lead people to focus on what is important and critical in knitting together the fabric of the society and in creating a sustainable economy," said O'Meally-Nelson.

".We need religious leaders who rise above the narrow confines of their interpretation of their faith; we need leaders in education who are not afraid to shatter the vessels that we are now using, vessels which have shown themselves to be inadequate and incapable of meeting the demands of a modern age, and instead to boldly build new paradigms for learning and living," she said.

She said, too, that educational leaders need to understand that the real purpose of schooling is for the transformation of the individual and not statistics to determine how many students pass a particular exam.

O'Meally-Nelson said the country also lacked strong community and business leaders who were willing to help build the nation without seeking to be rewarded.
Leaders, she added, must be principle-centred and willing to work for the good of the whole body.

TELECOMS provider, LIME says post-paid landline customers will enjoy significantly reduced rates on outgoing international calls, effective July 12.

However, local rates will be increased in what the company said is a move to further rebalance
telephone tariffs.

The rate for international call will fall from $15.75 to $10.00 per minute to all popular destinations, except Cuba, the company said in a press release.

At the same time, LIME's monthly line rental will be increased from $700 to $785 and off peak calling rates moving from 65 cents to 99 cents per minute. The peak call rate of 99 cents per minute remains unchanged.

Call rates for LIME's landline service were last adjusted in August 2007 and line rental rates were adjusted in April 2008.

Meanwhile, the telecoms company said its landline customers will enjoy unlimited free calls to other LIME landlines every Sunday from July 12 to August 30.

"At less than $1 dollar per minute, LIME landline to LIME landline calling remains a most affordable alternative for our customers. And even when the economic environment forces up the cost of providing the service LIME is still making it affordable for our customers," the press release quoted LIME's country manager in Jamaica, Geoff Houston.

Contractor General Greg Christie , the anti-corruption czar, has been speaking about the environment in which corruption thrives. He said that by all accounts corruption is one of the substantial threats which "we face as a people and as a country in Jamaica. It is, without doubt, one of the biggest enemies of value creation at all levels of our society".

KEN CHAPLIN

In a recent address under the topic, "Corruption and its threat to value creation in Jamaica", at the School of Business Administration, University of Technology, Christie defined corruption as the misuse of entrusted power for private gain. While the concept is typically viewed as a public-sector phenomenon, corruption knows no bounds, for it is as much a creature of the private sector as it is of the public sector.

Further, Christie added that in the broadest terms, corruption is therefore characterised as the abuse of authority - whether it be economic, political or administrative - which leads to personal or group benefits at the expense and legal rights of the individual, a specific community or the society as a whole. Jamaica's Corruption Preventative Act, which was enacted in 2001, outlines at least 14 broad circumstances in which the criminal offence of corruption in the public office context will arise.

One of the main offences which is prescribed is that a public servant commits an act of corruption if, in the performance of his public function, he does any act or omits to do any act, for the purpose of obtaining any illicit benefit for himself or for any other person.

THE National Water Commission is complaining that it is losing up to $500 million in uncollected revenue monthly, half of what it has to spend in order to provide water to its two million customers.

With that in mind, the water company is warning customers that it will be stepping up its effort to collect outstanding money owed and will be disconnecting the water supply of delinquent customers.

Corporate public relations manager, Charles Buchanan, said the commission spends $1 billion monthly for electricity, chemicals, labour, contractors and pipes

He said the refusal of some customers to meet their obligation on a timely basis is causing the NWC to bleed red.

ARGUING that he was broke and would be homeless if booted from the posh $40 million townhouse he now occupies at Armour Heights, St Andrew, former Cash Plus boss Carlos Hill was yesterday pitied by the courts and allowed - on humanitarian grounds - to remain in the house for 14 days until he secures a place to stay.

Hill had argued in vain for an application to prevent his eviction from the property which has been put up for sale, but after refusing the application, Justice Roy Anderson asked attorney Hugh Wildman - the man seeking Hill's eviction and who is the trustee in bankruptcy and provisional liquidator for Cash Plus - if he would allow Hill access to the house for humanitarian reasons.

Yesterday morning Hill and his attorney, Yvette Sterling Fajolu, took to the Supreme Court seeking the injunction in a frantic last-minute bid to prevent the forced removal after bailiffs and police officers turned up at the 94 East Armour Heights house with a truck to enforce a 30-day eviction notice issued by the court.

Fajolu argued in her failed bid for the injunction that Hill did not have the money to secure new residence and that he had security concerns as he has received several death threats.

Gareth Barry has complered his surprise move from Aston Villa to Manchester City for a fee of £12m.

Barry: Joining Robinho at Eastlands

The 28-year-old England international was heavily linked with a move to Premier League rivals Liverpool last summer but the Reds were unwilling to meet Villa's asking price of £18m.

He has signed a five-year contract at Eastlands after 12 years and more than 400 games for Villa.

It is thought Barry will be paid £80,000-a-week at City.

City manager Mark Hughes is banking on Barry's experience in the domestic and international arena to take the club to the next level.

Hughes said: "Gareth is widely acknowledged as one of the top midfielders in the Premier League and that is a recommendation in itself.

"When players of his quality become available then you have to be in the market for them so we are absolutely delighted that we have been able to conclude this deal.

"The experience required to compete with the best in the Premier League is vital. With Gareth we get the experience of someone who has played week-in, week-out in the hardest league in the world.

"He plays at a level that has an impact on the game and we are thrilled that he is joining us.''

Club captain Richard Dunne, currently on Republic of Ireland duty, welcomed Barry on board.

"He is a really good player and a player the Aston Villa fans will really miss, '' said the defender.

"It shows the pulling power of the club. It's the sort of signing the manager is looking for - players with Premier League experience who can push the squad on.''

Barry has proved to be adaptable over the years and that is a trait that Hughes believes will serve City well.

"I like players that have the sort of flexibility that enables you to change your tactics if you need during a game, and Gareth has that,'' he told the club's official website.

"He also has a range of passing that I am keen to introduce to the team, and he has got great delivery at set-plays as well. He will bring a lot to City.

"I have spoken to him briefly, and I will do at greater length soon. It is clear to everybody that being at City is going to be exciting in the future, and Gareth sees that.''

Barry, currently with the England squad preparing for a World Cup qualifier in Kazakhstan on Saturday, said: "I'm delighted to be joining City.

"It didn't take much persuasion from Mark Hughes, they are heading in the direction I want to go.

"There is great potential here, and I'm sure there will be a few more additions to the squad this summer.''

Barry had been offered a lucrative new deal to keep him at Villa Park while manager Martin O'Neill and Villa owner Randy Learner had both said they would be willing to run down the 28-year-old's existing contract if it meant keeping him for another season.

Barry has previously expressed his desire to join a club in the Champions League but City finished six places and 22 points behind this season's top four, all of whom qualified for Europe's top club competition.

City did not even qualify for next season's revamped Europa League with Everton, Villa and Fulham claiming the three places for English clubs.

Swine flu hits Jamaica

Published: Tuesday | June 2, 2009

Spencer

The Ministry of Health was up to yesterday attempting to locate all the passengers from the New York flights on which two persons infected with the H1N1 influenza virus travelled to Jamaica.

However, the ministry says there is no need for alarm.

Minister of Health Rudyard Spencer said the ministry had collected 362 samples to date, 129 from suspected cases.

"Of this, we have 70 results of which 13 were positive for seasonal influenza and two for the new influenza A (H1N1)," said Spencer.

Spencer said results were being collated for the remaining 233 samples.

These results are expected to be ready by the end of the week.

The minister said health officials were required to check with those sitting in the first two rows in front of the infected passenger and the two rows behind. These persons, he said, have been contacted and are well.

"We haven't stopped there. We are trying to get information on the rest of the people," Spencer told journalists gathered for the briefing at Jamaica House.

Meanwhile, Dr Marion Bullock-DuCasse, director of emergency services in the Ministry of Health, said the infected persons arrived on the island May 18 and 19, respectively, and sought medical attention at two separate facilities on May 20.

She noted that samples were sent to the laboratory and the results were ready last Friday.

Spencer said the ministry has a stockpile of antivirals, which have been found to reduce the severity of the current disease, and 3,500 doses of Tamiflu have been provided by the Pan American Health Organisation.

Ready for dispensing

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education has advised chairpersons of school boards, principals, all categories of school staff and students that it has surgical masks and hand sanitisers ready for dispensing to schools where there might be a large number of students with flu-like symptoms.

The ministry said the masks and sanitisers are to be kept at its regional offices and strategic distribution points. They are to be distributed on the instruction of the regional offices on the request of schools.

The 21-year-old star is currently on police bail for filming sex scenes for another porno in a family park in broad daylight.

We wonder if any of these celebs could take a joke like that?

The accused, a final-year student, is accused of throwing a box at the the complainant and then hitting her in the face several times, causing swelling which was still obvious when the complainant turned up in court.

The complainant told the court that the accused, who is her flatmate, asked her to take some of her things home during the holiday. The accused is not a Jamaican. The complainant said she brought back the items, but in a different box, and told the accused that she wanted the box back.

She told the court that an argument developed about the box and its ownership and on the day in question, the accused tore off a part of the box, threw it at her and then punched her in the face repeatedly. She also told the court that the incident caused her to miss two exams. She said the accused was violent and was a troublemaker on their flat. She said the accused was determined to continue the despute even though she was offered other boxes.

The accused, however, told the court that she did not throw the box at the complainant. She said she had problems with her flatmates who were smoking and triggering her asthma and was frustrated with the living arrangements.

POLICE investigators were yesterday trying to ascertain the identity of a male body which was found in a pit at the back of the Norman Manley High School in Kingston.

Workers from a cesspool cleaning company who had gone to the school to clear a sewage pit made the gruesome discovery as they were about to start working.

The body was badly decomposed and it appeared as if the hands and feet were bound and the mouth gagged.

Due to the advanced state of decomposition, it was not immediately clear if the body had any wound. The body was lying face down in the repugnant smelling fluid which filled the pit.

"From the look of things it seems as if the body was dumped some time ago," the police corporal told the Observer.

The find was made during school hours, but classes were not affected.

Yesterday, several members of staff at the school and some students took time out to peer inside the pit and catch a glimpse of the macabre sight.

"Lord that was an awful sight, my stomach is upset and I think I am going to stop eating meat," one female member of staff said after looking at the rotting remains.

A student who is auctioning her virginity to pay for a masters degree in Family and Marriage therapy has seen bidding hit £2.5million ($3.7m).

Natalie Dylan, 22, claims her offer of a one-night stand has persuaded 10,000 men to bid for sex with her.

Last September, when her auction came to light, she had received bids up to £162,000 ($243,000) but since then interest in her has rocketed.

The student who has a degree in Women's Studies insisted she was not demeaning herself.

Miss Dylan, from San Diego, California, USA, said she was persuaded to offer herself to the highest bidder after her sister Avia, 23, paid for her own degree after working as a prostitute for three weeks.

She said she had had a lot of attention from a wide range of men, including "weirdos", "those who get really graphically sexual about what they want to do to me" and "lots of polite requests from rich businessmen".
