The caricature seems to acknowledge the caring embrace which the Jamaican Government has imposed on the Cricket World Cup event, in comparison to wandering Haitians that graced the shores of Jamaica illegally.

However, some citizens disapproved of the manner in which the Prime Minister was depicted. On March 8, hosts of morning talk show "The Breakfast Club" was early with their disapproval and seemed to suggest that the drawing was in poor taste. This is the second time that some citizens have voiced disapproval of the treatment issued to the Prime Minister, by cartoonists.

What is YOUR take on the matter? Voice it in the forum.

"Bleeding" Jesus portraits draw crowds in India http://www.janadians.com/article/article_26/ http://www.janadians.com/article/article_26/ Wed, 21 Mar 2007 08:51:05 -0500 orrett http://www.janadians.com/article/article_26/ Thousands of people are flocking to a policeman's house in India's remote Andaman Islands to pray in front of two portraits of Jesus Christ, which are said to have been "bleeding" for the past two weeks, police and witnesses said.

Eric Nathaniel, a police radio operator, found red fluid trickling down a portrait of Jesus in his house two weeks ago which he believed was blood.

"We lit candles and prayed all night and a little later the blood dried but it soon started trickling down from the hands and heart of another portrait in the house," Nathaniel told Reuters in the islands' capital Port Blair on Wednesday.

Officials said red paint used in the portraits could be melting in the extreme humidity, but islanders and priests were coming in boats from remote parts of the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago to pray.

"This is indeed a miracle and shows that Jesus was in pain because of our sins," said John Chrysostom, a priest at the Anglican Church of Port Blair.

One portrait was temporarily moved to the local bishop's house for public viewing after police found it difficult to control swelling crowds.

Man gets probation for dead deer sex http://www.janadians.com/article/article_27/ http://www.janadians.com/article/article_27/ Fri, 23 Mar 2007 09:06:27 -0500 orrett http://www.janadians.com/article/article_27/ A 20-year-old man received probation after he was convicted of having sexual contact with a dead deer. The sentence also requires Bryan James Hathaway to be evaluated as a sex offender and treated at the Institute for Psychological and Sexual Health in Duluth, Minn.

"The state believes that particular place is the best to provide treatment for the individual," Assistant District Attorney Jim Boughner said.

Hathaway's probation will be served at the same time as a nine-month jail sentence he received in February for violating his extended supervision.

He was found guilty in April 2005 of felony mistreatment of an animal after he killed a horse with the intention of having sex with it. He was sentenced to 18 months in jail and two years of extended supervision on that charge as well as six years of probation for taking and driving a vehicle without the owner's consent.

Hathaway pleaded no contest earlier this month to misdemeanor mistreatment of an animal for the incident involving the deer. He was sentenced Tuesday in Douglas County Circuit Court.

"The type of behavior is disturbing," Judge Michael Lucci said. "It's disturbing to the public. It's disturbing to the court."

Janadians Staff Living Red http://www.janadians.com/article/article_46/ http://www.janadians.com/article/article_46/ Mon, 16 Apr 2007 11:56:16 -0500 oharris http://www.janadians.com/article/article_46/ Usually the complement of good natured Janadians staff are productive and have a clear vision for the new day after a good nights rest and a welcoming morning at work. However, for the past three weeks the staff has been seeing RED, as the usual hearty meals served during coffee break seem to have come to an abrupt end.

 

Cornmeal, banana or oats porridge, Soup (chicken or shrimp), Coffee, Tea, Biscuits, donuts and at times sandwiches were all part of the now distant menu and would be served at 10:00 am sharp.

 

As part of her mandate the “Angel” would normally oblige and feed the hungry. However since early March and with the absence of Orrett this service has drawn brakes, come to a complete stop and as a result the Janadians development team are famished (let’s leave Orrett out of this). Oharris has lost weight and a quarter inch off his height (him can’t afford to loose no more), Che cut his hair in protest, and another staff member Capone is threatening to change the profile of “Angel” to “Dark Angel”.

 

Staff has since met and given Angel a 36 hour timeline with which to improve on her delivery of service, otherwise she may be shipped to Bulgaria!!!

Cops Hold Panty Thief http://www.janadians.com/article/article_47/ http://www.janadians.com/article/article_47/ Tue, 17 Apr 2007 16:00:50 -0500 orrett http://www.janadians.com/article/article_47/ Jason Rowe, the elusive 'panty man' who has been accused of terrorising the female residents of Milk River, Clarendon, for more than three years has finally been caught by the police.

Rowe will answer to burglary and assault charges when he faces the May Pen Resident Magistrate's Court on Thursday.

According to the May Pen police, Rowe was taken into custody on April 10, following a report by a female who was awakened by strange sounds at her home in Milk River and allegedly found the 25-year-old man ejaculating on her legs. She called out to him and he ran away.

A report was made to the police and they went in search of Rowe. He was reportedly found in another woman's yard trying to take her panties off the line. He was subsequently taken into custody. This, according to residents, was not without a struggle, however. One resident, Cherry, who had also been victimised by the '"panty man", told THE STAR, "Dem did haffi run him down di morning, the police and about three other citizens."

According to the CCN Liaison Officer for Clarendon, the police had been getting several complaints about Rowe since last March. He was accused of stealing panties off lines in his community. According to the police, Rowe's habit continued whether the panties were wet or dry. He is also further accused of ejaculating in the panties and then discarding them.

THE STAR recently published a story about Rowe's strange behaviour.

Many residents view Rowe's arrest as a long-deserved victory for the community. One taxi operator, who had also spoken to THE STAR in the initial story said yesterday; "A hear mi hear seh dem pick him up. Dem finally do it and everybody a seh dem want him go jail. Dem hold on pan him inna di Easter wen im a eat him bun and cheese."

Cherry, also told THE STAR, "Bwoy, mi feel good seh him gone. I wouldn't mind him no come home at all. Yes man, mi feel good seh im gone." She also told THE STAR that she gave a statement to the police but has not yet received a summons to go to court.

The Trials Of A Trying Jamaican/Canadian http://www.janadians.com/article/article_50/ http://www.janadians.com/article/article_50/ Wed, 25 Apr 2007 15:36:16 -0500 oharris http://www.janadians.com/article/article_50/  

He got two chances to travel to Canada on a farm work program and on the second occasion decided to run off and become an illegal immigrant. That’s what user Sampaloo did some ten years ago.

But unlike some illegal immigrants that undertake illicit activities while “hiding out”, Sampaloo developed a passionate interest in music and used his natural talents to become a Dancehall DJ.

Here is Sampaloo’s story:

My name is Deniston Mulling aka Sampaloo, born in Kingston Jamaica 22/10/1967.

I came to Canada on a Farm Aid Program for the first time in 1993. The second time was in 1994. The crop was damaged real bad, because of an ice storm. At the end of the crop the owner told me that he was not taking back any more workers. I was about 26.

I thought about it and decided to take the biggest risk of my life. I ran off. I had no family in Canada, just a friend that lived in Montreal. 5 hours driving.

Oh I have to tell you this, the first two weeks on the farm I got one of the saddest news of my life. My mother passed away (died). They buried her, but no one contacted me as they said they did not want me to leave the farm work and come home. Crazy people……….ah. Anyways back to my story.

The hardships I faced while in Canada. I was an illegal immigrant living in Montreal, Quebec which is the French part of Canada. Not speaking French to get a job under-the-table was one of the hardest things. I lived in a black neighborhood where there was black on black crime. I missed home (Jamaica), friends, plus Canada is very cold.

I applied to immigration in 1996 and not until 9-11 they replied. Whenever I called them they said the application is in progress. Anyways I found this nice Jamaican woman, we got married, had two sons with her and now I’m a landed immigrant.

The video “ Landed” is the story of my life.

My immigration video is not like word for word my life story, but we try to make it more like a celebration. Got my community involved, people who are going through what I have been through, they all came out and support me.

My Director, her name is Maryam Rahimi. She is from the Middle East and the first time she see me perform she said, “this is my guy”. The video shoot took 18 fun hours. We had over 300 people come out.”

Link Sampaloo and comment on his trials.

Pakistan Cricket Coach Poisoned Too http://www.janadians.com/article/article_64/ http://www.janadians.com/article/article_64/ Tue, 01 May 2007 11:30:30 -0500 MistressC http://www.janadians.com/article/article_64/ SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) -- The top Jamaican policeman investigating the homicide of Pakistan's cricket coach said on Monday he has not confirmed that Bob Woolmer was incapacitated by a drug before being strangled.

The British Broadcasting Corp. reported that a toxicology test on Woolmer's body shows the presence of a drug that would have incapacitated him.

Mark Shields, thedeputy police commissioner in Jamaica, emphatically said his investigators have not concluded that Woolmer was drugged.

"No results and we have NOT confirmed anything," the former Scotland Yard policeman said in a text message to The Associated Press from his cell phone. "Work is ongoing."

Woolmer, 58, was found unconscious in his room in Jamaica and within an hour declared dead in a hospital on March 18, the day after his squad was upset by Ireland and eliminated from the World Cup. Police said he was strangled.

Shields said toxicology tests were done in Jamaica and sent with British police officers to a government-owned laboratory in their country, The Forensic Science Service, to be "independently verified."

Shields has not yet heard back from the British laboratory. He would not discuss whether the toxicology tests indicated the presence of a drug that could have incapacitated Woolmer.

An employee who answered the phone at the laboratory's headquarters in Birmingham, England, after business hours said nobody was available to comment.

The BBC's Panorama program did not identify the drug or the source of its information, and said toxicology tests were due to be given to Jamaican police next week. In London, Scotland Yard said it has no information and that the investigation and all inquiries are being handled by police in Jamaica.

Shields has said in the past that foreign investigators would examine theories that Woolmer may have been drugged. He said that would have made it easier to strangle a man as large as Woolmer, a former England test batsman.

"A lot of force would be needed to do that," Shields told the BBC. "Bob Woolmer was a large man and that's why one could argue that it was an extremely strong person, or maybe more than one person, but equally the lack of external injuries suggests that there might be some other factors and that's what we're looking into at the moment."

Security video from the Kingston hotel where Woolmer died was sent to a laboratory in Britain for review. Some images of the footage were obtained by the BBC.

One image shown on a BBC Web site showed Woolmer, dressed in a white T-shirt, talking with two people as he headed to an elevator in the Pegasus Hotel in Kingston, Jamaica, hours before he was killed in his room. The BBC identified the two people as fans.

Woolmer's body was returned to his family in South Africa on Sunday.

A Janadian That Can See Duppy? http://www.janadians.com/article/article_76/ http://www.janadians.com/article/article_76/ Wed, 09 May 2007 16:52:09 -0500 oharris http://www.janadians.com/article/article_76/ A member of the Janadians.com community recently stated that he was seeing dead people.

 

According to a reliable source, the member fell ill from Monday evening of this week and overdosed on flu medication (and possibly home remedies which may have included a touch of white rum). The Janadian admitted to the source that he started to hallucinate and actually saw the dead. He gave no clear indication of the nationality of the “duppy/s”, but was happy to have recuperated quickly.

 

This author checked with an occult professional regarding ‘seeing “Duppy” matters’ and was informed that overwork and extreme bouts of sexual activities can lead to such occurrences. She explained that while most people have sex in the dark, they are actually performing the act within the environs of the dead who may also find it interesting to come out and “watch”. She further explained that the overdose of medication might have allowed the member to temporarily enter the realm of the unknown so that he could see those attendant in the room.

 

The active member is currently in Toronto, Canada and one of our first members. There is no indication of his sanity, but most members do view him as credible and a very popular “Friend”.
