THE MONTHLY GLEANER | DECEMBER 12 - JANUARY 11, 2025 | www.jamaica-gleaner.com | NEWS 3 Lester Hinds/Gleaner Writer THE ANGLICAN Bishop of Jamaica and Archbishop of the West Indies, Howard Gregory, received a prestigious honour in New York last weekend with a formal seating at the Cathedral of St John the Divine. The ceremony, hosted by the Diocese of New York, took place at the iconic Manhattan cathedral. The act of seating, which involves assigning a bishop a chair, symbolises the teaching, governing, and sanctifying authority of a bishop within the diocese. Bishop Gregory is only the fourth individual to be granted this honour by the New York Diocese in its current term. “I was invited by the Bishop of New York for a seating, a gesture that confers honorary status in recognition of contributions to the Church,” Bishop Gregory told The Gleaner. He noted that this recognition reflects the significant role Caribbean people have played in the Anglican faith globally and at the Cathedral of St John the Divine in particular. Bishop Gregory also highlighted how the Jamaican Anglican Church’s active participation in the global Anglican community has facilitated access to critical resources for advancing its mission, particularly in education. “We oversee more than 200 schools in Jamaica, spanning early childhood and primary education. Recently, we received a donation of US$14,000, which will be used to enhance math and reading programmes,” he said. He added that the Anglican Diocese of Jamaica also benefits from international support for projects such as a solar energy initiative at the Church’s camp facility. “These partnerships exemplify the ongoing relationship between the Diocese of Jamaica and the worldwide Anglican community,” Bishop Gregory said. During his visit, Bishop Gregory conducted two services at St Luke’s Church in the Bronx, which is home to one of the largest Jamaican congregations in New York City. He returned to Jamaica on Monday. editorial@gleanerjm.com Lester Hinds/Gleaner Writer JAMAICAN-AMERICAN CONGRESSWOMAN Yvette Clarke has been elected Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC). Elected unopposed, she becomes the 29th chair of the CBC and will assume the role in January for a two-year term, leading the caucus throughout the 119th Congress. Clarke previously served as First Vice Chair during the 118th Congress, focusing on issues like education, healthcare, housing, environmental justice, and public safety. She worked to address disparities in underserved communities alongside CBC members. “I want to thank my peers for electing me to serve as chair,” said Chairwoman Clarke, after her election. “In my capacity as chair, I will ensure that our caucus’ goals are accomplished by focusing on voting rights, education, criminal justice reform, women’s rights, healthcare equity, and economic equality. We must be attentive in completing our purpose of addressing and enacting policy to uplift our community and keep our promises.” She continued, “Since its formation in 1971, the CBC has constantly pursued its mission of supporting and enforcing laws that protect and enrich the Black community. The CBC will have a record 62 members in both the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives during the 119th Congress. And for the first time in history, two Black women will serve together in the Senate – elevating our position in Congress to combat blatant racism and policies intentionally overlooking more diverse and minority communities – proving our diversity is our strength, and our unity is our power.” “In our pursuit to push legislation and funding – seeking bipartisanship in issue areas that would benefit African Americans – we must become more aggressive in our attempt to support Rep. Hakeem Jeffries as Minority Leader of the House. We must stand behind his vision and trust his leadership to negotiate the best outcomes for our communities,” Clarke noted. “Make no mistake: in this volatile political landscape, the CBC must stand as the resistance to the extremist ideologies of Project 2025 as the conscience of Congress to advocate and advance the Black diaspora. The authors of Project 2025 will write America’s story for the next four years, and we must be prepared to use every legislative and communicative tool to oppose their agenda. I am committed to working with my colleagues to call out this extremist agenda and fight like hell for a pathway forward.” CBC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FOR THE 119TH CONGRESS • Chair: Rep. Yvette Clarke (NY-9), senior member of the Energy and Commerce and Homeland Security Committees. • First Vice Chair: Rep. Troy A. Carter, Sr. (LA-2), Ranking Member of the Emergency Management and Technology Subcommittee. • Second Vice Chair: Rep. Lucy McBath (GA-7), member of the Judiciary and Education and Workforce Committees. • Secretary: Rep. Marilyn Strickland (WA-10), member of the Transportation and Infrastructure and Armed Services Committees. • Whip: Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (CA-37), serving on the Foreign Affairs and Natural Resources Committees. Outgoing Chair Steven Horsford congratulated Clarke and the new executive members. Reflecting on his tenure, he highlighted the CBC’s achievements and its growth to its largest membership yet. “53 years after our Caucus’ founding, our work to improve the lives and conditions of Black people in America is more important than ever before,” he said. “It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve as chair of the Congressional Black Caucus during such a pivotal time in our country. Together, we have faithfully served as the conscience of our Congress, centering issues of justice and equity for all Americans. I remain deeply honored to serve as a Member of the House of Representatives and especially a member of this storied caucus.” Horsford continued, “As we look toward the future, our caucus will enter the 119th Congress with the largest membership in our history – a record 62 members in the House and Senate. To lead this historic membership will be a colleague and friend of immense capabilities and the right leader to take on the challenges that will confront the American people in the years to come. “I could not be prouder to pass the baton to the gentlelady from New York, Representative Yvette Clarke. Representative Clarke will carry on the legacy of the CBC and ensure we push back against the erosion of our fundamental rights and build a future where everyone can thrive and achieve their full potential.” editorial@gleanerjm.com Jamaican-American Congresswoman Yvette Clarke elected chair of Congressional Black Caucus Jamaican-American Congresswoman Yvette Clarke Anglican Bishop of Jamaica, Howard Gregory, honoured in New York Anglican Bishop of Jamaica and Archbishop of the West Indies, Howard Gregory FILE
the work can continue.” Brown immigrated to Canada in 1951 to pursue undergraduate studies at McGill University, which she completed in 1955, and later did a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in social work at the University of British Columbia. Her encounter with racism at McGill University in Montreal – what she described as “racism Canadian style, polite, denied and accepted” - fuelled her passion for human rights and dignity for all. In 1972, she entered political politics as a candidate of the NDP in British Columbia and won in the riding of Vancouver-Burrard thus becoming the first black woman to sit in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia. COMMITTEE TO REMOVE SEXISM Brown served as a member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for 14 years and created a committee to remove sexism in British Columbia’s educational material. When she ran for the leadership of the federal NDP in 1975 with the slogan, ‘Brown is Beautiful’, she came in a close second to Ed Broadbent, ahead of three other candidates. After retiring from provincial politics in 1988, her work continued internationally where she fought to advance women in political, economic, and social arenas in developing nations. In 1993, she became the chief commissioner of the Ontario Human Rights Commission. Brown was also a director of the Social Justice Fund of the Canadian Autoworkers Union and was a visiting lecturer with the Social Work Faculty at the University of British Columbia and the University of Victoria. She received the Order of British Columbia in 1995, an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1996, and the Order of Distinction, commander, by the Government of Jamaica in 2001. Brown penned her autobiography, ‘Being Brown: A Very Public Life’, which was published in 1989. There are two parks named in her honour, one in Montreal, the other in Vancouver. In February 2009, Canada Post issued a postage stamp honouring the first black woman elected to public office in Canada. The Rosemary Brown Racial Justice Awards commemorate the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, March 21. This day was initiated by the United Nations to mark the Sharpeville massacres in South Africa more than 60 years ago, during the struggle to eliminate apartheid. These prestigious awards will recognise individuals and groups in four categories: individual, group, women, and youth (25 and under). J.S. Woodsworth was the first leader of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), the forerunner of Ontario’s NDP. He fought against racial and religious discrimination in Canada, and stood up for the right of all Canadians to vote, regardless of skin colour or socioeconomic status. Submissions for nominating community members are now open, and recipients will be announced in February 2025. Neil Armstrong/Gleaner Writer THE ONTARIO New Democratic Party, the official opposition in the province, has renamed its J.S. Woodsworth Human Rights and Equity Awards to the Rosemary Brown Racial Justice Awards. Rosemary Brown, a social worker, was born in Kingston, Jamaica, on June 17, 1930, and raised by her grandmother in a home of strong, educated, political women. She became the first black female member of a provincial legislature in Canada, and was also the first woman to run for the leadership of a federal political party. Brown died of a heart attack on April 26, 2003, in Vancouver, British Columbia. Last week, the Ontario NDP held the Rosemary Brown Racial Justice Awards Nomination Reception at Queen’s Park, the Ontario Legislative Building. The awards honour Ontarians who are actively working towards the elimination of racial discrimination and the promotion of human rights and equity. “The Rosemary Brown Racial Justice awards have been a way for us to shine light on all activists, volunteers and community members who have made Ontario a more welcoming and inclusive place,” said Marit Stiles, Ontario NDP leader. “This work is not easy, and it is important for us to lift up the voices of those who take the lead to make our province a better place. “Rosemary Brown was an exceptional politician and an exceptional political leader.

roots with local communities and our Caribbean heritage,” she said. “Service to humanity is at our core, and we are doing that as we grow. Celebrating our 35th anniversary is a humbling reminder of the support from our people.” Hawthorne-Robinson also acknowledges the challenges of balancing tradition and innovation. She sees the company’s intergenerational recipes and cultural heritage as integral to its identity while embracing the need to adapt and grow. “Our traditions aren’t just corporate rhetoric. These are intergenerational recipes, a legacy woven into our core identity as a family,” she explained. “We may experience internal tension between tradition and innovation, but our mentality is that culture can both be preserved and evolve over time.” Golden Krust’s hottest franchising markets include New York, Florida, and Georgia. To introduce Caribbean cuisine to unfamiliar areas, the company often distributes free samples, fostering educational outreach. “It isn’t always easy,” HawthorneRobinson reflected, “but we take the legacy of our humble beginnings and feel proud of all we’ve accomplished together.” As Golden Krust continues to expand, Hawthorne-Robinson remains steadfast in her vision of creating a lasting legacy rooted in family, hard work, and community. editorial@gleanerjm.com THE MONTHLY GLEANER | DECEMBER 12 - JANUARY 11, 2025 | www.jamaica-gleaner.com | NEWS 5 New and Seasoned Investors Looking to invest in the U.S. real estate market?

She assumed the role in late August this year, succeeding her late brother, founder and former CEO, Lowell Hawthorne. Hawthorne-Robinson aims to lead the company into a new era of growth, targeting nationwide expansion. Plans include opening two new locations annually for the next five years, with a landmark store set to debut in Terminal 8 of New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport in summer 2025. This location will introduce Golden Krust’s authentic Jamaican flavours to a diverse, global audience. “JFK is very diverse, with travellers from all over the world, so I think this will be one of our greatest stepping stones to introducing Golden Krust to new audiences,” said Hawthorne-Robinson. “We are embracing it and looking forward to flooding the airport with Jamaican music, art, and food. This is the next chapter for us.” With over 110 locations spanning eight states, Golden Krust is a leader in Caribbean fast-casual dining. Hawthorne-Robinson’s strategy involves leveraging influencers, events, and retail offerings to expand the brand’s footprint and bring Jamaican cuisine to new audiences. She envisions Golden Krust as a household name in the US, reflecting her family’s entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to cultural preservation. NEW AUDIENCES “Taking this concept from state to state will inevitably introduce our food to new audiences,” she explained. “We already have a presence in bigbox stores in some areas, so many communities are eager for us to establish our restaurants there.” Founded in 1989, Golden Krust has evolved over 35 years to include partnerships with schools, prisons, and retail outlets offering microwavable products. Despite this growth, Hawthorne-Robinson remains deeply connected to the company’s roots. “As Golden Krust’s CEO, I feel that I am now in my safe space, where I am 100 per cent occupied and confident to step into this role,” she said. “I don’t just know the business – I am the business, and I am determined to continue building it. This has been a profound, humbling, and empowering experience.” Hawthorne-Robinson emphasises the importance of family and community, values instilled by her parents and central to Golden Krust’s mission. The company gives back through charitable foundations honouring Mavis, Ephraim, and Lowell F. Hawthorne, offering scholarships, internships, and endowment funds to underserved communities in the US and the Caribbean.

GENERAL NOTICE THE TORONTO Transit Commission (TTC)’s annual employee-driven toy and gift drive campaign — “Stuff-theBus” — to help bring holiday cheer to thousands of children and families in need has been running from November 30 and will end on December 15. Each weekend, TTC volunteers collected enough donated toys and gifts to fill TTC buses parked outside retail locations across the city. The first Stuffthe-Bus events were on November 30 and December 1, 7, and 8, outside the Walmart Etobicoke Supercentre. All donations will be distributed to charities supporting children and families, including Sick Kids, Abuse Hurts, BDC Dovercourt Club, Community Place Hub, Parkdale Peace Project, and Progress Place, Yonge Street Mission, Salvation Army, Dr. Roz’s Healing Place, Grace Place, and Centenary Hospital Children’s Ward. “Stuff-the-Bus is a wonderful way for us as a community to come together, donate, and support those in need this holiday season,” said Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow. “I am extremely proud of all the dedicated TTC employees who volunteer their time and energy to Stuff-the-Bus and make holiday magic for kids and teens around the city.” SELFLESS DEDICATION TTC Chair Jamaal Myers, who is of Jamaican heritage, thanked the TTC employees for volunteering their time and energy to collect toys and gifts for the holiday season campaign. “Last year, Stuff-the-Bus collected more than 10,000 donations for children and families who needed them most. I encourage all Torontonians who are able to donate to Stuff-the-Bus this year and help make the holiday season brighter for children and families in our community,” he said. TTC CEO Greg Percy said the toy and gift drive campaign has been a cornerstone of its community outreach efforts for 17 years, thanks to the selfless dedication of the commission’s employees. “I am immensely proud of our Recreation Council and all TTC team members who embody our core values by volunteering to support those in need.” Those who wish to donate are encouraged to consider new, unwrapped items suitable for children between seven and 15 years of age. The TTC has also partnered with Toronto Police, who will be collecting toys and gifts for their Cram-A-Cruiser toy drive. Gift ideas for babies and young children include toys, books, and clothing. For tweens and teens (10+), consider hoodies, sports gear, curling irons, makeup kits, electronics, books, board games, scarves, gloves, and gift cards. Last year, through the generosity of Torontonians, TTC employees collected more than 10,000 toys and gifts for families with kids. On December 7 and 8, buses were parked outside Walmart West Scarborough Supercentre; on December 7, outside Walmart North York Sheridan Mall and Sherway Gardens (near Toys-R-Us); and on December 14 and 15, outside Walmart Agincourt Mall. RIDE THE TTC FOR FREE ON NEW YEAR’S EVE And riding the TTC will be free from 7 p.m. on December 31 until 8 a.m. on January 1, compliments of the whisky company J. P. Wiser’s.

The Jamaican Canadian Association (JCA) fêted children at its annual Children’s Christmas Party a day later at the Jamaican Canadian Community Centre in Toronto. Olive Parkins-Smith, founder and co-chair of Care and Share, highlighted the importance of the work of organisations such as these to make the holiday season more meaningful for overlooked groups of persons. “At this time of year, there are so many people out there that are in need whose Christmas really depends on the generosity of people like us, people who support the programme, that not only care but they’re willing to share what they have so that these people can have a much brighter Christmas. We used to say we try to turn tears of sorrow into tears of joy.” “A lot of times, it’s more rewarding to give of yourself, give of what you have, than to receive, especially at a time like this,” she said. Parkins-Smith said the organisation developed a partnership with the Jamaica Ex-Soldiers Association and, together, they have been hosting the programme for 20 years. She said they also work with social workers and other agencies, like the JCA, to identify some of the families, and their focus over the last few years has been international students. “They can’t go home for Christmas, those who are here. A lot of them depend on the food bank, which is running low.” She said that, where students attend a school that has an alumni association locally, AJAA helps to make the connection so that they have support later in the year. “The other thing is that sometimes, too, there are members of the different associations that have (supported) in the past, and they still do. This is why we ask the students to come out to the annual Care and Share programme ... . It’s not just giving out the stuff, the networking and what people choose to do to help are important,” said Parkins-Smith. In 2022, she received a badge of honour for meritorious service from the Government of Jamaica, for outstanding contribution to the diaspora in Canada. She recounted the early beginnings of the initiative, including, too, the Meals on Wheels programme which she did 22 years ago to assist individuals in need. She recalls that, when her mother moved to New York, USA, she spent Christmas with her but felt that she needed to do something back in Toronto, Canada.

PRIME MINISTER Andrew Holness has lost his bid to force the Integrity Commission (IC) to certify his 2022 and 2023 statutory declarations, but has been given the go-ahead to seek the court’s authority in getting the IC’s investigative report and special report invalidated. Justice Althea Jarrett last Friday granted the prime minister and his three companies – Imperium Investments Holdings Limited (IIHL), Positive Media Solutions Limited (PMSL), and Positive Jamaica Foundation Limited (PJFL) – permission for a judicial review claim against the respondents – the director of investigation Kevon Stephenson and the Integrity Commission itself. The commission’s director of information and complaints (DIC), Craig Beresford, was initially a respondent. However, the judge found that he had already fulfilled his duties and “it would be an exercise in futility to order the DIC to do what, on his unchallenged evidence, he has already done”.

[NEWS YOU MAY HAVE MISSED] Prime Minister Andrew Holness Dr. Delroy Fray AG GUEST GUEST ‘50 doctors doing the work of 350’ AMID A strike by Jamaica’s junior doctors on Monday to protest compensation issues, Dr Delroy Fray warned that western public hospitals would not be able to cope with the resulting disruptions for more than 24 hours. But the doctors returned to work at 6 p.m. on Monday following a meeting with officials from the Ministry of Labour. Jamaica Medical Doctors’ Association (JMDA) president, Dr Renee Badroe, told The Gleaner that a meeting was planned for Tuesday at which time her association would meet with officials from the Ministry of Finance and the Public Service and the Ministry of Health to address the concerns raised by the doctors. Before the agreement to go back to work, Fray, the clinical coordinator at the Western Regional Health Authority (WRHA), shared a grim outlook in an interview with The Gleaner as the islandwide sickout of junior doctors – supported by more than 350 in western Jamaica – severely strained hospital operations. The action left approximately 50 consultants scrambling to fill the gaps in the west. Court refuses to compel IC to approve PM’s financials Beverly Hills brouhaha -PM, his business partner at odds with IC over report on alleged building permit breach Bill to replace British monarch tabled JAMAICA IS one step closer to becoming a republic and moving away from the British monarchy after the Government introduced a bill in Parliament to replace King Charles with a ceremonial Jamaican president as the island’s head of State. “The tabling of the bill marks the greatest progress made so far in our effort to reform the Constitution of Jamaica to achieve the national goals of having a Jamaican as head of state instead of the hereditary British monarch and also having our supreme law taken out from under the cloak of the imperial Order in Council and placed in proper form,” said Marlene Malahoo Forte, the constitutional affairs minister, who tabled the historic bill on Tuesday. Alongside the republic transition, the bill proposes to entrench the Electoral Commission of Jamaica in the Constitution, incorporate national symbols and emblems, clarify Jamaican citizenship criteria, and strengthen constitutional amendment procedures. But approval for the law faces hurdles as the Government and Opposition disagree over Jamaica’s final court. The opposition People’s National Party (PNP) has insisted that the British monarch and the Privy Council should be removed at the same time to make a full cutting of colonial ties with the Great Britain, from whom Jamaica gained Independence in 1962. However, the Government has argued that there is no consensus on the issue and the proposed replacement with the Caribbean Court of Justice. It also said a decision on the court is set for a later phase in the reform process. American man charged over guns, 200 rounds of ammo found in luggage at airport JAMAICA’S SINGLE anti-corruption body has found that a Beverly Hills town house constructed by Estatebridge, a company linked to Prime Minister Andrew Holness and his business partner Norman Brown, has breached the building permit issued by the Kingston and St Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC). The Integrity Commission (IC) says the development has four 4-bedroom town houses instead of four 2-bedroom town houses, as approved by the KSAMC. The property is located at 2 Weycliffe Close, Beverly Hills, Kingston 6. Brown is the chairman of one of Jamaica’s largest public bodies, the Urban Development Corporation, as well as the Housing Corporation of Jamaica which both fall under the Ministry of Economic Growth and Job Creation that is headed by the prime minister. An IC report tabled in Parliament on Tuesday concluded that the breaches were deliberate and that the directors of Estatebridge are liable. The directors of the company are Brown, Sydjea Anderson and Adam Holness, the son of the prime minister. Prime Minister Holness is the sole director and shareholder of Imperium Investments Holding Limited, a company which has shares in Estatebridge. A 42-year-old man of a Florida address in the United States was arrested at the Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, St James, last Friday after two dozen firearms, some dismantled, and 200 rounds of ammunition were allegedly found in his luggage. Shaun Duncan, a commercial driver from Davenport, Florida, has since been charged with trafficking prohibited weapons, possession of prohibited weapons, dealing in prohibited weapons, and stockpiling prohibited weapons. His court date is yet to be finalised.

Sharon Small-Kebede/Contributor LOS ANGELES, CA: APPROXIMATELY 300 guests, including friends of Jamaica from the wider CaliforniaCaribbean community, gathered at the Los Angeles Airport Marriott on Saturday, November 16, for the Jamaica Awareness Association of California’s (JAAC) 36th annual fundraising gala. The room was beautifully decorated with Caribbean-themed centrepieces as a gold and green balloon arch adorned the backdrop of the stage. There was no shortage of mini-Jamaican flags at each table, much to the delight of the patrons who seemed to be waving them most of the night. Amid the elegance and the excitement of the evening, president Patrick Williams addressed the audience with a summary of what was accomplished this year. He informed that proceeds from the event will benefit the 2025 medical and education mission to Jamaica. “This year, we’ve drawn inspiration from Jamaica’s 62nd Independence theme: ‘One Love ... To The World’. This timely message of unity, resilience, and love perfectly captures the spirit of our mission and tonight’s celebration. We’re here to honour not only our rich Jamaican heritage but the power of community, service, and giving back.” “We acknowledge our invaluable partners: National Healthcare Enhancement Foundation and the Health Education and Promotion departments of Jamaica’s Ministry of Health, the National Education Trust in the Ministry of Education, and Jamaica Customs. Their collaboration has been paramount in expanding our reach and impact,” he said. This year, the JAAC donated equipment, supplies, and services, contributing to Jamaica’s health and education sectors, valued at of over US$650,000. Four individuals, Hermin Hussen, Marcia McBean, Lisa Hayles and Jacqueline Williams, were honoured by the organisation and the City of Los Angeles for their extraordinary work as volunteers. Patrons were entertained by the Island Passion Band, led by Dorrel Salmon, with performance by Orland Bailey, out of Montego Bay, as well as the music by DJ Nigel Billings. MCs Dr Ryan Wiggan and Dr Shauna Chin engaged the guests in an on-thespot fundraising drive, which turned out to be quite successful.

She said the album marks her first major foray into holiday music, “encapsulating the essence of Christmas with its nostalgic, familycentric, and peaceful themes. “Caribbean Christmas presents an array of original songs, several providing a distinct view of Christmas through the rich and vivid palette of Caribbean culture, “LaFortune said.

Now, respect can be given to us as I feel we have executed what we started out to do … Someone must speak from that perspective because there are about 15 million Jamaicans outside of Jamaica’s three million, and we can attract large audiences as well on our own merit,”he stated in a telephone interview from Miami. Born Kirk Douglas in Spanish Town, Jamaica, a 10-year old Diamond emigrated to Canada with his family in 1994. His accolades are as impressive as his artistry. A six-time Juno Award nominee since earning his first win in 2018 -he has won three times. This was followed by a second for his hit single “Reggae Party” in 2023, and most recently his third Juno win in 2024 for his début album, DREAD. Released on October 6, 2023, the album has solidified Diamond’s place as a leader in the genre. It features tracks like “Bring It Good,” done with Tiffanie Malvo – which gained prominence as part of the drama film When Morning Comes – and his latest single Deh Yah (unveiled on October 15 of this year) Diamond’s work embodies cultural adaptation, identity and self-expression, further expanding his artistic repertoire. But Diamond’s contributions extend far beyond music. His impact in entertainment and culture has been formally recognised by the City of Brampton, where he resides. In fact, just before he hit the stage, he was recognised by that city’s members of parliament Graham McGregor and Charmaine Williams. Also, in a historic tribute, a park was named in his honour in 2022, making him the only living reggae artiste to receive such a distinction. Adding to his list of accomplishments, he was named a Distinguished Alumni by the Dufferin Peel School Board and received the 2020 International Vigor Award, along with The Impact Award for his influence in the arts. It was no surprise, therefore that the Balmoral Middle School choir of students joined him on stage to sing along to “Greater”. Currently, he is on a global tour promoting DREAD, captivating audiences with his unique blend of reggae rhythms and socially conscious themes. The 40-year-old Diamond continues to inspire through his music which serves as both a rallying cry and a celebration, echoing the universal themes of love and inclusivity. Reggae artiste spreads unity and love Kirk Diamond in concert.

THE MONTHLY GLEANER | DECEMBER 12 - JANUARY 11, 2025 | www.jamaica-gleaner.com | NEWS 12 Aubrey Campbell/Gleaner Writer BRONX, NY: HUNDREDS GATHERED at the Butler United Methodist Church, 3920 Paulding Avenue, Bronx, on Saturday, November 30, to say farewell to Dr Michelle Malcolm James, who was president of the Organisation for International Development (OID), up to the time of her death in October. Malcolm James, DNP, RN, FNP-BC, who left Manchester, Jamaica for the USA in 1979, served the registered, healthcare-centred organisation for some 26 years in a number of capacities. She will be best remembered for spearheading the mobile mammography initiative, aimed at providing breast and cervical cancer screening for women in rural, urban and remote areas in Jamaica, annually. The gesture reflected her lifelong commitment to enhancing women’s health services, especially in under-served communities. Malcolm James was employed as the wellness clinical manager for Con Edison at the Orange & Rockland County Utilities. Her homegoing service was conducted by the Rev Dr Allen Pinckney, Jr, with Rev Noel Chin saying a prayer of comfort. There were outpourings of tributes by family and friends, including – brother Shaun Malcolm, Dr Roy Streete, OID founder/chairman, and Denise Soares, OID secretary and her friend. A proclamation from the office of NY State Senator Jamaal T. Bailey, citing her years of dedication to the youth and medical communities, was presented to the family. She is survived by her parents, Babia Lewin and Desmond Malcolm, her husband Andre, daughters Ashley and Anika, brother Shaun, sisters Detha and Danielle, and other relatives. She was interred at Kensico Cemetery in Valhalla, New York. Remembering late OID president Dr Michelle Malcolm James, late OID president. CONTRIBUTED - Fond farewell for Dr Michelle Malcolm James Kimone Francis/ Senior Staff Reporter BORN AND raised in the gritty inner-city community of Grants Pen, St Andrew, Kalisha Dixon is spreading her Jamaican roots in Maryland, where she has been elected council member for the town of Bladensburg. Dixon ran on a Democratic ticket, defeating three other candidates on her way to office in local elections held in October, weeks before the United States’ national polls. “I never had any doubts. The Lord told me I was going to win the election,” she told The Sunday Gleaner of her victory. A philanthropist and youth pastor at Faith Full Gospel Deliverance Church of God in Washington, DC, where she actively supports her community, Dixon said she had the backing of her church and surrounding communities that campaigned vigorously on her behalf, doing door-to-door canvassing. “Some people were not happy with the results that they lost, and so they had to call an emergency meeting to recount the ballots, and I came up with six extra votes,” she said. This secured her position as the elected representative for Ward 1 of Bladensburg. The town is divided into two wards. Combined, they account for approximately 10,000 residents. But the Jamaica-born Dixon never had a desire for politics or any ambitions of a political future, let alone in the US, she told The Sunday Gleaner. Dixon, 46, was delivered at home at Grants Pen Avenue by a midwife.
