Police Busy hunting Signal

Sam Shepard got popped early this morning for an alleged DUI and speeding.

Shepard was doing a reported 46 MPH in a residential zone in -- get this, Normal, IL. The actor responded to the cops request to pull over by parking his Tahoe on the curb. According to the Pantagraph.com, the 65 year-old blew an impressive 0.175 which is roughly twice the legal limit.

Shepard was arrested at the scene and taken to McLean County jail. He posted bond and is currently pending a court appearance.

THE LAWYER of the driver in custody, following the tragic accident where a truck plunged over a precipice in the Rio Grande valley killing 14 people two weeks ago, is calling police actions against his client illegal.

According to Carl McDonald, his client, 31-year-old Christopher Devon Clarke, has been held in custody without being charged for longer than is legally allowed.

"Should the police fail to charge my client by the end of today (yesterday), I will be filing a habeas corpus writ in court for his release," McDonald said during an interview with The Sunday Gleaner.

Yesterday, detectives from the Criminal Investigative Branch took Clarke, a mechanic, through intense sessions of questioning after he had gone through three days of counselling, conducted by trained personnel attached to the Jamaica Constabulary Force.

Clarke had turned himself in on December 29 about 2:15 a.m., accompanied by his lawyer after 10 days on the run.

Yesterday, McDonald said there were indications that Clarke could be charged, following the conclusion of questioning, but was confident he would be absolved of all blame for the horrific accident.

"My client has not committed any offence," he said. "It is a well-known fact on the day of the accident, which was a very unfortunate one, the roadway just simply broke away, and there is nothing anyone could have done at that time to prevent the roadway from crumbling."

Seven persons survived the accident including Lynford Jackson, who is still at the St Ann's Bay Hospital, recovering from a fractured arm and leg.

On the day of the accident, a market truck, transporting vendors and farm produce to Coronation Market in Kingston, plunged over a precipice at Dam Head bridge in the Rio Grande valley with 21 persons on-board. The police have described the accident as the worst in 30 years.

The 14 people killed in the accident were from the communities of Mill Bank, Ginger House, and Comfort Castle, respectively.

HIM FI STAY A JAIL

More than 10 years after the business went south, civil servants who invested $100 million in Jamomes Developers Ltd are to be reimbursed.

"I am not sure how much I will get back but I am so glad that they have surfaced," retired teacher Ruth Lawrence told the Sunday Observer after receiving the good news. "This would be a good little break in these hard times," she added.

Lawrence was one of more than 7,000 people - mostly civil servants who invested government-issued bonds they received in 1993 as back pay - who put money into Jamomes and who were left in the cold when Government ordered the business closed in late 1996 and imprisoned its executive chairman, Errol Hanchard, in December 1997.

The investment option was offered in conjunction with the Jamaica Civil Service Association. However, based on allegations that the company had diverted funds from its real estate portfolio to an equities portfolio without consent of the investors, the Securities Commission launched a high-profile investigation into the company's business operations.

There were suspicions that the scheme, which offered returns of a minimum of $50,000 on each $7,500 invested over a seven-year period, was a scam and that the development company didn't have enough assets to cover the promissory notes it issued.

Hanchard spent 56 days in jail on a charge of conspiracy to defraud by mismanagement and was released on a bail of $75 million. The DPP withdrew the case in 2005, clearing Hanchard.

"I think we were wrongfully arrested," Hanchard said last week. "They had no case against us."

Earlier this year, Jamomes director John Templer started calling investors from the incomplete database it retrieved from the DPP's office, informing them that they would be getting back at least the principal that was invested.

"I would say 99 per cent of the people are so happy to be getting their money back. I feel like Father Christmas bringing the good news," Templer told the Sunday Observer.

"We were hoping to access enough liquidity to start paying out in December but our investment plans were set back by the financial meltdown and individual investors couldn't assist," said Hanchard. "But between the first and second quarter of 2009 we will be paying back at least the principal to these people who have invested with us, even though the Government has not paid over $30 million of the money that was deducted."

The Jamomes chairman said they had commitments of $100 million but had only received $70 million.

"I am grateful to be getting my money back," said correctional services worker Clinton Douglas, who said he had invested just over $10,000 in Jamomes.

"I am giving them the benefit of the doubt because... they could have stayed away or come back with another name and not contact any of the investors. This man (Hanchard) has come to me to say he's giving me my money back, not to look more money, so I don't see why I should not trust him at the onset," he said.

"Most of us considered it dead, but the investment plan they have sounds reasonable, sounds workable, sounds practical," he added, saying he still had confidence in Jamomes and would consider re-investing with the company.

Retired registered nurse, Camaletha Kelly, shared similar views.

"Not hearing anything for so many years, I thought [the money] was gone," she said. "I feel very good because I thought it was dead."

Kelly said she had no immediate plans for her money, about $50,000 by her estimation, but that it would come in handy, given the present economic conditions.

For his part, Hanchard said he would now continue to pursue the entrepreneurial development plan he had sought to effect in the late 1990s: the establishment of digi-tourism as a means of sustainable economic development.

"I feel vindicated because the DPP withdrew the charges and secondly, because I [recently] passed the fit and proper with the Bank of Jamaica," he said. "It means, therefore, that the way has been cleared for me to proceed with what was delayed by the State."

WHEN RESIDENT Magistrate Lorna Gayle handed down a three-year suspended sentence to Jermaine Beckford on December 9, 2008, the verdict almost went unnoticed considering that Beckford had stabbed Oneka Grant, the mother of his child, more than 140 times in September 2007 while trying to kill her because she rebuffed his attempts to rekindle their ended relationship.

The story had made headlines in most national papers and spawned an award-winning series on domestic violence aired by Nationwide News Network.

Grant says the verdict was a slap in the face. "It seems as if they swept it under the carpet, like it was just a cut instead of 140 stabs," Grant said of the verdict. "But I have to now be watching my back."

She is disappointed by the verdict, especially since Beckford, who was arrested the same day the incident occurred, on September 18, 2007, was released on bail in November that year and has been free ever since.

pleaded guilty

Grant is also cut up by the fact that he told her that his lawyer was going to have him plead insanity and that she would be dead before 2008 was over.

She said evidence was presented that Beckford was bi-polar so she was not really shocked by the verdict.

"I was not surprised since he had pleaded guilty and he spent some time in Bellevue," she said, explaining that Beckford's lawyer managed to get the charge downgraded to unlawful wounding.

During the 15 months since the ordeal, Grant has gone through rehab to regain use of her fingers which were almost severed during the attack. She has also had to deal with pain over each eye where Beckford stabbed her. She has also had problems with keloids that have formed over the 140 stab wounds that have, for the most part, healed.

She has made progress in reco-very, but one of her fingers is still painful to the touch. She still has difficulty holding things but with the help of rehabilitation work, she is now able to straighten her left little finger, which was almost severed when she tried to prevent Beckford from slicing through her throat.

medication

She has stopped taking medication prescribed to help her heal because she can't afford the $25,000 it costs each month.

"I don't know of any other court in any sensible society where that verdict could have been handed down but in ours. Because of the shambles that it is apparently in, there is room for that and it's sad."

Attorney-at-law Clyde Williams while not as severe on the Jamaican justice system, believes there is need for reform.

He explains that in the Jamaican justice system there is no right of appeal to the Crown in cases such as Grant's.

He describes Jamaica as being in the legal backwaters, as in other Caribbean countries like Antigua and the British Virgin Islands, the Crown has the right to appeal on points of law.

Inspector Davis of the Waterford Police, the station where Beckford was arrested, while acknowledging that the judge has the final say, believes that if she was to have ruled on the matter Beckford would be behind bars today.

THIS IS TOTAL f**kERY!!!!

Phila. man shot because family talked during movie

By Barbara Boyer

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

-- Edited by alligcold at 15:19, 2008-12-29

Me go deh a party...

John Travolta, the movie star, 16 year old son Jett Travolta died in the Bahamas

sad .... condolances to the family

THE ATTORNEY representing the driver of the ill-fated truck which plunged over a precipice in the Rio Grande Valley, Portland, killing 14 people two weeks ago, says his client was not at fault.

Carl McDonald, who is representing 31-year-old mechanic, Christopher Devon Clarke, told The Gleaner yesterday that, "my client has not committed an offence.

"It is a well-known fact on the day of the accident, which is a very unfortunate one, the roadway just simply broke away, and there is nothing anyone could have done at that time to prevent the roadway from crumbling."

Interviewed by detective

Clarke was interviewed yesterday by detectives from the Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) in Port Antonio, four days after he and his lawyer showed up at the police station.

He had earlier received three days of counselling from trained personnel attached to the Jamaica Constabulary Force.

Clarke, who was on the run for 10 days after the accident, has since been in police custody.

McDonald told The Gleaner yesterday, after a meeting with his client, that there were indications that Clarke could be charged following the interviews being conducted by the police.

In custody too long

But Clarke's attorney is contending that his client has been in custody without being charged, longer than the period stipulated by law.

"Should the police fail to charge my client by the end of today (yesterday), I will be filing a habeas corpus writ in court for his release," he added.

Seven persons survived the horrific accident, including Lynford Jackson, who is still at the St Ann's Bay Hospital, recovering from a fractured arm and leg.

On the day of the accident, a market truck transporting higglers and farm produce to the Coronation Market in Kingston, plunged over a precipice at Dam Bridge in the Rio Grande Valley with 21 passengers.

The accident has been described as the worst in 30 years in Jamaica.

The 14 people killed in the accident were from the communities of Mill Bank, Ginger House and Comfort Castle.

Rap impresario and vodka pitchman Sean (Diddy) C****s wants New Yorkers to party on New Year's Eve, so he's offering to pay for the cab-fare to help tipsy revelers get home safe.

The hip-hop honcho and Ciroc premium vodka will announce Tuesday they are teaming up with the city Taxi & Limousine Commission to give away thousands of free cab rides to ring in 2009. 

"New York is the world's most iconic New Year's Eve city, so let's lead by example and show everyone that a sophisticated holiday celebration doesn't just end when the ball drops, but when everyone gets home safely," C****s said. 

Thousands of $15 debit cards that can be redeemed for single taxi rides will be handed out by Ciroc street teams in Times Square and in Chelsea beginning at 11 p.m. Wednesday night. 

The cards will be doled out until 3 a.m. New Year's Day, or until the supply runs out.

Rick Salomon, Paris Hilton's sex tape partner, is being sued by a woman who claims he and his roommate are responsible for a brutal beating.

In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in L.A. County Superior Court, Gertrude Harutunian claims Salomon hosted a drug-fueled party last July at his home in the Hollywood Hills,. The alleged drugs of choice -- cocaine, meth, pot and alcohol which were "freely given out...."

Harutunian claims the drugs and alcohol caused Buddy Segal, his roommate, to pull Harutunian from a bed by her hair, "strike, hit and throw" her while Salomon watched. She claims Segal then dragged her across a room to a shower and threw her inside as "Salomon watched and conspired with Segal to hurt and injure [her]."

Harutunian is seeking unspecified damages.

And here's a fun fact... the Salomon house was once owned by a close friend of OJ Simpson. Simpson used to visit the home frequently before he killed Nicole. During Simpson's murder trial there was testimony by a guest at a party that Simpson once struck Nicole in the guest house on the property. It's the only eyewitness who ever testified he saw Simpson brutalize Nicole.

WHILE THOUSANDS of people were enjoying the beauty of the Fireworks on the Waterfront in downtown Kingston at the stroke of midnight, to ring in the New Year, two persons were left in shock after being struck by a bullet.

"I felt like someone had chopped off my hands," said one of the victims, who requested anonymity.

The two, a male and a female, who are members of the East Queen Street Baptist Church, had just exited the church at the end of the watchnight service when the incident happened.

"I am very sympathetic and wished it never happened," Reverend Roy Henry, who is the senior pastor for the church, told The Gleaner.

Although he suffered only minor injuries, the man was taken to the hospital where he received treatment for his wounds.

Went to hospital

The woman went to hospital yesterday after discovering that her hand was swollen and discoloured.

The man was struck above the elbow on his right hand after the bullet grazed the woman's fingers and her right arm.

"I don't even remember my reaction," the man told The Gleaner. He added that it took him about five minutes to realise what had happened.

However, despite the misfortune, the dedicated Christian said the incident would not stop his tradition of attending watchnight service every New Year's Eve.

In St James, two persons were shot, one fatally, in separate gun salutes early New Year's morning.

Dead is 22-year-old labourer Kemar Mandison of Salt Spring, while a 26-year-old male shopkeeper has been hospitalised in serious condition.

.Kartel, Mavado War Intensifies

As we approach the arrival of STING 2008 with only three months to go there seems to be no end in sight to the ongoing feud between Portmore Empire leader Vybz Kartel and the Gully god from Cassava Piece, Mavado.

Recently members of 876radio.com crossed path with both deejays at separate studio sessions and observed some very harsh verbal insults being hurled at each other on the soon to be released Beauty & The Beast Riddim produced by TJ Records.

Kartel seemingly in one of his usual militant mode recorded a track titled "Kill Dem All and Done" where he takes pot shots at Mavado his baby mother and child on the very dark and sinister sounding beat.

Mavado has also recorded a response which will be making its street debut soon.

The compilation also features Natural Bridge recording artiste and one of Jamaica's fastest rising new talent Konshens with a track entitled "I Don't Leave It" which is poised to become the breakout single of the compilation. If not a bonafide hit, it will certainly raise a few eyebrows in the industry.

We have embedded a video version of Kartel's song for your listening pleasure (WARNING: contents contain EXPLICIT LANGUAGE, see video below)

GAVESHA BABY SHOWER PICS

What do you think about Mavado and Gavesha? Do you think they make a cute couple? Mi have the pictures dem from the baby shower, and it look more like a rehearsal fi a wedding. Boy, mi love it when young people find love yu see? The Gangsta is in love. Have some more pictures, will drop them later, mi boss just come a work, mi nah go piss him off because mi nuh plan fi come work tomorrow, zeen.

 

.Mr. Easy Featured on 'Magazine' Since world premiering his latest video 'Screw Pon Face' on the popular Day Rave Riddim. Mr Easy has been receiving rave reviews from fans and some major industry players across the world. The video now in high demand and has been added to the HYPE-TV's top twenty chart, CVM's Hitlist and will be making it's debut on RE-TV and the Internet in the coming days. Mr Easy is also scheduled to make appearances on the popular Up & Live television programme on HYPE-TV followed by Television Jamaica's (TVJ) INTENSE with host Kiki and Sanjay. However with such a hectic schedule this has done nothing to slow down the veteran dancehall crooner, whom nonetheless has taken time out of his extremely busy schedule to team up with dancehall producer Lenny Hype on his latest offering entitled "Magazine Riddim". The fifteen track compilation features Mr. Easy with a smooth gangster ballad titled "What You Gonna Do" with an infectious hook that is destined to make this song another bonafide hit. The riddim compilation soon to be released, bolsters an impressive line-up with the likes of Mavado, Vybz Kartel, the gangsta ras Munga Honourable, Merciless, Nesbeth, Mad Cobra, newcomer Ishawna, Daddy Flim, Jah Marlo, Dadre, Stacious and veterans Spragga Benz and Maxi Priest. Meanwhile Mr Easy is now busy fine-tuning his act before heading off to Africa in mid-December for a three country tour of that continent. The tour will see Easy making stops in Kenya, Tunisia and the east African state of Uganda for the festive season. The tour will commence on December 12th. When asked about the upcoming tour Easy said, "This is a great news, I am really looking forward to going to the mother land to spread the joy of reggae and dancehall music to the masses while being an ambassador for Jamaica, Usain Bolt and the other athletes did their part in China, so we are just continuing the journey".

A wheelchair-bound man touched the lives of three persons with similar disabilities when he handed over three motorised wheelchairs valuing over $300,000 to them.

The most touching moment was when 11-year-old Sasha Gay Thompson related how pleased she was to receive the New Year's Eve gift.

"I am really thankful, as my arms used to pain me whenever I push my wheelchair to meet my mother at the market. It was really stressful and this is a day I will always remember as I can move easier, even while I am in school. I am thankful," she said, with teary eyes and a child-like smile.

Hurt at school

Thompson said on April 19, 2007, she was hurt while at the St Catherine Primary School. Her life has not been the same since.

"I know that it is difficult, as my mother does not have the money, so I'll be able now to move around even though my eyes are starting to act up. I can hardly see. I am also in need of glasses. But I am still thankful that with this wheelchair I will move easier," she said, while manoeuvring her newly acquired set of wheels.

Another recipient was quite frank.

"A jus' left school five years ago and was working at a gas station in Clarendon. I was held up and I was shot by gunmen. I lost the use of my legs. But I have not given up, I still sell sweets and other likkle goodies but mi hand corn up. With this new machine, I know that I can move free. It will be a good new year for me and I am thankful," said Kirkland Thompson, who travelled from Clarendon to Gutters in St Catherine.

Winsome Beckford, 45, a writer, teacher and caterer, was no less thankful. She said that between 2004 and 2006, she lost her legs as a result of illness. However, with the acquisition of the motorised wheelchair, she can enjoy a better life.

"I know how it feels, so it is my duty to help however I can," Rhoden said, in response to the outpouring of thanks he received.

Merciless is not a candidate for clash re-incarnation as far as the Original Don Gorgon, Ninja Man is concerned. He told reporters recently that he has already killed and buried Merciless and has no intention of re-visiting that graveyard.

 

At STING 2008, Merciless was by all accounts one of the hottest acts to grace the Jamworld, Portmore stage and he tried in vain to get his clash on. Calling out artist after artist, he was not appeased, but told The Star recently that it is not over. Dis war nuh done, anywhere mi buk him a war, he declared, referring to his deep desire correct his loss to Ninja Man.

However, Ninja Man is not interested in what he described as clashing with an artist who may well be ready for Heineken Star time, the scene for soon to be retired veterans. As far as the Don Gorgon sees it, if an artist hasnt been in the mix for more than five years, it is time for them to hang up their microphone. Ninja Man said, Merciless has been out of the loop for eight years now. Mi nah war wid Merciless again, him need to go do some tune, the original gold teeth front teeth Don Gorgon stated to The Star.

A FAMILY of six in Montego Bay were left homeless yesterday after fire destroyed their five-bedroom house in Water Lane.

Angella Whyte, a mother of four, said she had just left home for work when she received a call from one of her neighbours informing her that her house was on fire.

"This caan real, this caan real at all," a distraught Whyte exclaimed as she looked at the remains of her house in downtown Montego Bay.

Damage to the property is estimated at $2.5 million.

Whyte, who lived with her boyfriend at the home, is however, grateful that her children were at their grandparents' home when the incident occurred. No one was injured in the fire.

Concerned about children's education

Nevertheless, she is deeply concerned about how this tragedy will affect her children's education, especially her 14 year-old son, who will sit the Grade Six Achievement Test (GSAT) this year.

"Everyting burn up, school books, uniforms, important documents; everyting! Di kids dem neva miss a day at school an mi nuh know which direction wi fi turn ya now, especially wid wha happen here today," Whyte lamented.

She is appealing to the public for assistance, especially for her children to get textbooks and uniforms in order to ensure that their education is not jeopardised.

Despite the loss, the family remains optimistic, as Whyte indicated that, "wi want to rebuild it, but not right now, because wi affi focus pon the children and for them to go back to school wid all the tools they need".

The St. James Fire Department has indicated that arsonists may have started the fire.

More Passa Passa... 'Jah' know Star

This may be the very best police report of 2008. When Charles Barkley was busted in Arizona early this morning for DUI, he told cops he ran a stop sign because he was in a hurry to get some oral sex.

According to the officer who wrote the report, "He told me that he ran the stop sign because he was in a hurry to pick up the girl I saw get in the passenger seat."

The officer continues: "He asked me to admit that she was 'hot.' He asked me, 'You want the truth?' When I told him I did he said, 'I was gonna drive around the corner and get a b**w job. He then explained that she had given him a 'b**w job' one week earlier and said it was the best one he had ever had in his life."

The report says when Barkley was taken to the station, he told one of the employees, "I'll tattoo my name on your ass" if he helped "get him out of the DUI." According to the report, "He laughed and then quickly corrected himself and said, 'I'll tattoo your name on my ass' and then laughed again."

The report also says officers "found a handgun in the vehicle" which was immediately impounded. The report doesn't say if the handgun was legal or not, and the only thing that we know for sure was loaded...

Mavado and Kartel fans in a fight yeasterday leaving one man badly injured.. 

Queen Ifrica showed in no uncertain terms why she is the leading candidate for female deejay of the year in the upcoming EME awards when she delivered a devastating performance this morning at the Tru Juice Rebel Salute at the Port Kaiser Sports Complex in St. Elizabeth.

When her name was announced, there was a thunderous roar from the audience, and he hit the stage attired in a bright yellow dress which flared off at the ankles, a yellow blouse with puffy sleeves and a red turban head-wrap. She sang the first few lines of the Down Sound Records produced Me Nah Rub, and was forced to pull up the song.

Barefoot and prancing, she extolled her hair doctrine deejay joyously that her husband stop sit down inna barber chair, and she channeled George Nooks who had performed earlier by doing a snatch of Forty Leg Dread, deejaying stop spread propoganda while the crowd cheered. She then segued into the single, Born Free. She then took time to big up Tony Rebel as a bredda mi love and respect.

Him stay true to the business, him love it, him loyal to the business, him say me sound like Garnet Silk, and him groom me into the wonderful artiste that the I dem love. I give thanks to the positive energy because it work, right Salute? she said.

And the crowd roared its approval.

This was Queen Ifricas ninth year performing on the 15 year old show, but this was arguably one of her most special performances as Tru Juice Rebel Salute 2k8 was very much the deejays coming out party, her coronation, her baptism, if you will, after which she has emerged as a firebrand for conscious reggae music everywhere. As she pranced on the stage defending her beliefs and 'burning' iniquity, depravity and evil, she exuded a rare species of confidence, and the audience was awed and humbled by a performer at the height of her powers. It was delicious to be consumed in her fire.

She struck an emotional chord with the song, Sometimes I Miss You Brandy, and oldies classic When Love Comes Knocking and got the huge crowd to sing along with her. She advocated the legalization of marijuana on Sensemenia, and got the women to wine their waists seductively as she did her breakthrough hit about make-up sex, Below the Waist.

She closed her set with her anti-incest magnus opus, Daddy Dont Touch Me There as fire torches stabbed at the early morning sky and flags waved in a sea of red, green and gold.

There were also brilliant performances from Tony Rebel, Junior Reid, Lutan yah, Jah Cure, Richie Spice, Tarrus Riley, Errol Dunkley and the overseas-based Leroy Gibbans.

Prime Minister Bruce Golding says although the present crime rate is still too high, the Ministry of National Security has achieved some success for 2008 in preventing an escalation of serious crime, including murders.

"Up to the end of May, the murder rate was running at 18 per cent higher than last year. The measures which were instituted around the middle of the year have begun to work," Golding said in his New Year's Message.

"There has been a noticeable slowdown in the rate of murders and we ended the year three per cent above last year's figure of 1,574 but, thankfully, below the record level of 1,674 recorded in 2005," he added.

Assuring that efforts will continue to fight crime, the prime minister noted areas where the security forces had been strengthened.

"We are going to have to intensify even further the efforts we are making to turn back the tide of criminal activity plaguing the land. We are providing additional vehicles, equipment and other resources to the police; we are

stepping up recruitment; we are increasing our training capacity; we are improving our intelligence capabilities; we are intensifying police operations, and we are improving the court system. We must keep up the pressure for 2009," Golding said.

Two tax measures announced by Minister of Finance and the Public Service Audley Shaw in his budget speech in April and is expected to cost the government just over $700 million in revenues in 2008/2009, took effect yesterday.

The second adjustment to the Income Tax Threshold for the financial year 2008/2009, increased the current threshold of $200,304 to $220,272 as of yesterday, costing the government $575 million in revenues.

In addition, the withholding tax on dividends (tax levied on income from securities), payable by local registered companies to their shareholders, was removed yesterday to create a more equitable tax system. This will reduce revenue inflows by a further $130 million.

The increase in the threshold will see individuals benefiting from a tax-free income of $18,356 monthly, $8,472 fortnightly or $4,236 weekly. The threshold was increased in July, 2008 from the previous $193,440 mark.

Employers have been reminded to make the necessary adjustments to their payroll system to reflect the increase in the threshold, so that their employees may benefit immediately.

In addition to employees, all individuals resident in Jamaica, whether self-employed or pensioners, will also benefit from the increase in the threshold.

The removal of the withholding tax on dividends will be welcomed by most companies, including large ones which suffer cashflow problems when their subsidiaries pay the tax to holding companies.

Shareholders, however, are required to include the dividend income in their income tax returns, while non-residents will continue to pay withholding tax on dividends that they receive.
