In a year where several of Jamaica’s male juniors performed with distinction, two athletes, Christopher Taylor of Calabar High and Akeem Bloomfield of Kingston College, stood tall in the 400 metres. Taylor, who gave early signals at development meets early in the year with excellent times in both the 200 and 400 metres, continued his good form at the ISSA-GraceKennedy Boys and Girls’ Championships, where, in his first year in Class Two, he easily won the one-lap event along with the 200m and ran a brilliant leg in the 4×400 metres as Calabar clocked a record 3:06.76 to wipe out St Jago High’s one-year-old mark of 3:08.31. On the world stage, Taylor produced outstanding times. At the IAAF World Youth Championships in July in Cali, Colombia, he was just brilliant. After posting 45.30 seconds in his semi-final, where many thought he had gone out too fast and would have paid the price in the final, he went even faster in the final as he stopped the clock at an astonishing 45.27 to win the event and become the second-fastest ever at this level. Only American Obi Moore with his 45.14 in Santiago, Chile, in 1995 has gone faster. The 16-year-old Taylor (born October 1, 1999), who went sub 46 seconds four times in the year, was ranked number one on the IAAF Word Youth list and was sixth on the World Junior list for 2015. While Taylor was the talk of the town, Kingston College’s Akeem Bloomfield was not far behind. Competing in his fourth individual 400 metres of his career at the ISSA-GraceKennedy Championships in March, he created history in the one-lap event. Bloomfield (born October 11, 1997) dipped under 45 seconds in winning the Class One 400m in 44.93. In doing so, he became the country’s first junior to go sub-45 and, in the process, he shattered Davian Clarke’s national junior record of 45.21. Bloomfield, with that record-breaking performance, ended the year at number two on the IAAF list. Only Abdelalelah Haroun of Qatar was faster. Haroun, who had the seven-fastest times in the event, topped the list with his 44.27. Following these impressive 400m runs from Taylor and Bloomfield, all attention will now be turned to next year’s IAAF World Junior Championships as Jamaica could do something special in the 4x400m. With the likes of Martin Manley and Jaheel Hyde set to join Taylor and Bloomfield, the world record of 3:01.09 set by the United States in Grossseto, Italy, in 2004 could be in danger. Record-breaking performance
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has rallied every Liberian to act now in the on-going “war” against the spread of the deadly Ebola virus disease which is ravishing the nation.The President spoke to the nation late Wednesday, September 18, evening.As she urged her fellow Liberians to act, she assured them that her administration will do all within its power to ensure that the scenario in the projections do not come to pass. The projections the President referred to, are going to be made in the next few days by the US’ Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).“The CDC will release projections about trajectory of the outbreak based on current trends and data. We have to be realistic about the scope and size of the problem and accept the scientific projections. However, we are hopeful that we do not have to meet those projections. Those numbers will reflect the worst case scenarios, the result of what could happen if we do not take the actions that are required to break the transmission,” the President said.Few weeks ago, WHO had projected that with the current trend of the disease, at least 20,000 could die from it in the West Africa region.However, she told every Liberian: “And you, our citizens must do your part. Each one has to be responsible for all because the actions of one affect the health of all. We will continue to ask for international help, but until we take responsibility of this problem as individuals, as families, as neighbourhoods, as communities, as districts, as counties and as a nation, this problem will not go away.”She pleaded with families of sick Ebola patient(s) to isolate them from others and be given appropriate care. However, President Sirleaf being a mother added: “But we know that for families to see their loved ones being taken where they are not able to follow and be with them is strange and frightening. We also know that to have a case of Ebola in a family can lead to stigma and shame. And so some families hide their sick relatives. They do not take them to the health facility. They continue to care for their relatives at home, in secret. By doing this, the virus continue to spread — through Lofa, the country’s bread basket, to Nimba, to Monrovia — where we face the largest urban outbreak of one of the deadliest of diseases known to man.”She disclosed in her address that the disease has now spread to at least 10 of Liberia’s 15 counties, with Lofa far in the north and Montserrado far down south being the hardest hit.“To date, the number of those affected by the disease has been disheartening: There have been a total of 2535 cumulative cases which includes confirmed, probable and suspected cases. Of these, total of 1,328 have dead. A total of 172 cumulative health care workers have been affected and 82 have died. We are responding to over 100 children orphaned by the disaster,” President Sirleaf sadly reading the latest statistics. Madam Sirleaf further said that in recognition of the scale of the virus her government has enlisted the help of bilateral and multilateral partners; adding: “We will continue to take clear actions and introduce the measures required to break the transmission chain and reverse the spread of the virus.”She also stated that her administration was not only talking to partners to eradicate Ebola, but was also stressing the need to strengthen Liberia’s health care system in the long term so that “gains in reduction in HIV AIDS, malaria and child mortality be maintained and enhanced.”Despite the present troubling times for the nation, “there is hope – because a total of because a total of 300 plus patients have recovered free from the virus and gone home. Yes, there is hope – hope that it is within our individual and collective abilities to protect ourselves while caring for those we love. I know that we can prevent more deaths by caring for those who are sick properly, as well as preventing ourselves from contracting the disease and infecting the people we love and care about.”“And so my people, as we tackle this disease, I want you to know that your government will spare no effort. We will do everything that can be done. We will seek every solution that can be sought. No effort will be spared in defeating our common enemy so that we can return to the business of building our country – building a future for our children and our children’s children.”Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)
Dear Editor,The United States Supreme Court, in King v Burwell, a recent case about what is commonly called “Obamacare,” in a decision written by the Chief Justice of that Court, Mr John Roberts, invoked the well-known Plain Meaning rule used in courts worldwide and said: “If the statutory language is plain, we must enforce it according to its terms.” See King v Burwell, 135 S. Ct. 2480, 2489 (2015).Guyana and the United States have courts with a common English origin. In both countries, the Plain Meaning rule is applicable.Here, the relevant statute is Article 106 (6) of the Constitution of Guyana which clearly states: “The Cabinet including the President shall resign if the Government is defeated by the vote of a majority of all the elected members of the National Assembly on a vote of confidence.”The constitution is silent as to the meaning of the word “majority.” The word is not ambiguous. That is, it does not have two meanings. We ought to read it for its plain meaning. Invoking the Plain Meaning rule in the case at hand, thirty-three is a “majority” over thirty-two. Government was defeated.Sincerely,Rakesh Rampertab
The Liberia Law Society (LLS) has called on the Press Union of Liberia (PUL) and the government of Liberia to make a joint declaration to finalize the reform process that will decriminalize libel and defamation in Liberia by the end of the year.A press release issued yesterday in Monrovia said while the Law Society joins the Press Union in the celebration of World Press Freedom Day, it believes that greater satisfaction will come when laws deemed as archaic, outdated and draconian are changed.The Law Society concurs that both “our Constitution and International Laws provide the boundaries for free speech and press freedom along with concurrent responsibilities.”Moreover, the Law Society commits to continue to work with the Press Union of Liberia and the people of Liberia in the pursuit of reforms of laws that will ensure that the exercise of press freedom and freedom of speech as guaranteed remained unhindered. The Society also acknowledges the collective struggle of all Liberians and friends of Liberia who have been resolute through the years to guarantee the level of political participation, freedom of speech and of the Press that we enjoy today.Over several months now, the Law Society has been conducting research into reforming “our libel and defamation laws. Findings thus far reveal how these laws criminalize free speech and undermine the growth of a democratic culture in Liberia. We must, therefore, work to change them!”The Law Society notes that in spite of various public commitments by the government to support free press, there are worrying signs that suggest gains made in this direction could be reversed.Accordingly, on the day marked World Press Freedom Day, the Law Society calls on the Liberian government to make a solemn pledge not to use any law deemed draconian, archaic and anathema “to our hard won democracy.” The Law Society calls on the government of Liberia to give meaning to the Table Mountain Declaration, which President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf endorsed by annulling any law on “our books which criminalizes free speech.”Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)
“That’s the best pitching staff we’ve faced,” coach Mike Weathers said. “I thought we played well. It was a 4-2 game in the seventh inning (of game two, an eventual 11-3 loss. For the third weekend, we found a way to battle against a ranked team, and that speaks highly of the team. “We’re a young squad. For a lot of guys, this was their first time on an airplane or a major road trip. Our young pitchers did a real fine job, and if we catch a few balls, Omar (Arif) allows just one hit (Sunday).” The Dirtbags arrived home from their trip to Houston without a series win over No. 6 Rice but still feeling good about the way they played against a ranked team with perhaps the best pitching staff in the nation. Long Beach State, which hosts UCLA tonight at 6:30 at Blair Field, scored just eight runs in the series but won game one in extra innings and had the game-tying run thrown out at the plate in the finale Sunday. Weathers will start freshman Adam Wilk tonight against UCLA (6-4). It will be the Dirtbags’ (5-4, with one game suspended) 11th straight game against a ranked opponent to open the season. Per usual on early weekday games, the Dirtbags will likely convene a large committee of pitchers tonight. Cal comes in for two games Friday (6:30 p.m.) and Saturday (2 p.m.), and the Dirtbags then have the following weekend off. That will give them time to firm up a replacement in the rotation for Manny McElroy, who is out with a tear in his rib cage.

The fundraiser will feature tattoo artists whose schedules are normally booked a year in advance, and perhaps even celebrity guests. Garcia said he is hoping for a turnout of 100-200 people. Garcia said he grew up in a neighborhood where much of his and Hicks’ shared family resided, and even lived with her for a while. She often spent time in the area near Shamrock, seeing shows at the Whisky a Go-Go and making friends in the area, Garcia said. “If they needed somewhere to stay for a while or if they were going through a tough time to get back on their feet, she worked at a hospital so she could get them help and connections,” Garcia said. Garcia works at Shamrock, and several of Hicks’ other nephews have been tattooed there. Hicks’ death has inspired donations from the Pico Rivera City Council, from Supervisor Gloria Molina and from local businesses. airan.scruby@sgvn.com (562) 698-0955, Ext. 3029160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

Maria Hicks, shot and killed in August when she tried to stop a vandal from spraying graffiti on a wall near her home in Pico Rivera, left an indelible mark on her community. Now a fundraiser in the woman’s honor will leave indelible marks on the bodies of participants at Mark Mahoney’s Shamrock Social Club, a tattoo shop in North Hollywood. “I think this is something she would have went to if it was someone down the street with the same type of circumstances,” Hicks’ nephew, Peter Garcia, said. “She would try to help out as much as she could.” The fundraiser will take place on Sunday, when several tattoo artists from Shamrock will clear their schedules to take walk-ins, with all proceeds going to the Maria Hicks Scholarship Fund.

The boyfriend of the young woman killed in a road tragedy outside Ballybofey has spoken of how she had dreamed of becoming a beautician.Kiara Baird, 19, was killed along with her pal Maria Wallis, 38, when the car in which they were traveling crashed on the outskirts of Ballybofey on Wednesday afternoon.Devastated John Brennan, of Crumlin in Dublin, has told how his life has been torn apart after Kiara’s death. The couple began dating in November 2014 after being introduced by friends.“I just don’t know what to think or what to do. I’m going around in a daze. I honestly thought we had a future together.“We had gone through a rough patch but Kiara was coming down to see me in Dublin every Wednesday and I would go up to see her in Donegal.“We had so many laughs together and I honestly thought we would have a future together but that will never happen now,” he said. The scene of the double fatality near Ballybofey. (North West Newspix)John, 23, said Kiara had dreams of becoming a beautician and wanted to start a course in beauty treatment.He said he does not hold any ill will towards anybody following Kiara’s death.“Kiara was a beautiful girl inside and out. Nobody spoke a bad word about her. All the things that were posted on social media spoke so highly of her.“She wanted to be a beautician – that was her dream. And she would have made a great beautician because she was so into her make-up,” he said.John said he is traveling to Donegal for Kiara’s funeral which takes place on Sunday next, the day after her pal Maria is laid to rest on Saturday. Kiara’s grandfather Declan paid tribute to her, as he came to terms with the shocking news in his Clondalkin home.He said Kiara had moved with her mother Tracy and her three siblings to Donegal around six years ago to make a better life for themselves because Tracy did not want to bring up her children in Dublin.Gardai have appealed for anybody with any information on the crash, which happened on the R252 just before 4.30pm on Wednesday to contact them at Letterkenny Garda Station.Heartbroken boyfriend says tragic Kiara had dreamed of being a beautician was last modified: September 23rd, 2016 by StephenShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)
Eurovision star Mickey Joe Harte has released the music video for his new single this evening.The Lifford native represented Ireland with his hit song We’ve Got the World Tonight in 2003’s Eurovision. The song went on to sell in excess of six times platinum status! In the years that followed he would justifiably become a key figure on the Irish music scene.Mickey Joe is currently recording new material in Germany with producer Dieter Kirchenbauer. For The Broken Hearted is the first single to be released from these sessions. The single sees Mickey Joe leaning a little further toward the Americana Roots genre. A further single is planned for spring 2018, followed by a new EP.In addition to recording with Dieter, the Donegal native has been spending time otherwise in Germany also, including a period as a featured vocalist on the RTL Television hit dance series ‘Lets Dance’ in 2016, and also live shows.He will return to Germany this autumn for a number of live shows, which started with Musik Meile Festival on September 1 st and 2 nd last. Having gigged solo and with a backing band here at home, Mickey Joe has played host and performer on the Writers Series, an in the round concept with two very special guest artists featured at each event. Up to this point many of his industry friends, including John Spillane, Nick Kelly, Duke Special and Eleanor McEvoy have featured.Having signed to Sony Music UK following the We’ve Got The World success, Mickey Joe released the No 1 album, ‘Sometimes Right, Sometimes Wrong’ album with the label. Since then, alongside his manager, Mickey Joe set up his own label Swerve Music.His discography is as impressive as one would expect from someone on the scene for more than 15 years. During this time, he has enjoyed No. 1 chart hits, numerous Top 20 successes, and thousands of live shows.His writing collaborations include working with Paul Brady, Kieran Goss and Jack Tempchin (The Eagles).Mickey Joe loves to perform live, and we are looking forward to some Irish shows by him from spring of 2018.Watch: Mickey Joe Harte releases new single and music video was last modified: September 22nd, 2017 by Elaine McCalligShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window) Tags:for the broken heartedMickey Joe HarteMUSICwatch
