Although disheartened by the damage Hurricane Melissa caused to his property, owner and operator of Little Ochie Seafood Restaurant in Alligator Pond, Manchester, Evrol ‘Blackie’ Christian, finds solace in the overwhelming support from his community.
On Wednesday, residents of the coastal village worked together to clear away debris and seaweed washed ashore by the storm’s powerful waves. The surging tides destroyed several sheds along the popular seafood restaurant’s property.
“Little Ochie is the heartbeat of Alligator Pond, so everybody just come and giving a helping hand. Is a community love and a community vibe, and I am very grateful,” he told The Gleaner.

A two-mile backup of traffic, including several ambulances, an army escort vehicle, and heavy-duty trucks, stretched toward Middle Quarters as volunteers armed with chainsaws and machetes struggled to clear the towering bamboo debris scattered across the roadway on Thursday.

OCTOBER 28, 2025: The rush was on yesterday at the Golden Egg Farm in Georgia, St Mary, as workers raced to harvest eggs and feed 10,000 layer chickens ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Melissa.
The memories of Hurricane Beryl in July 2024 – which devastated egg farms across central Jamaica and led to a national shortage – remain fresh in the minds of farmers like Edward Roy, who works at Golden Egg.
Roy said he intends to “ride out” the storm with the birds, just as he did during Beryl.

OCTOBER 23, 2025: Thousands of fans, friends, and peers of reggae-dancehall entertainer Sizzla Kalonji settled into Sabina Park on Sunday for an intense celebration of his 30-year journey in the music business. The man affectionately called ‘Dada’ was in his element as he made himself accessible to the media, warmly greeted his friends, and performed not once, but twice, for fans. Both the Firehouse and Ruff Cut bands have been an integral part of Sizzla’s momentous journey, and in acknowledgement of that, he arranged his set to accommodate both.
Titled Rise to the Occasion, the concert was curated by a team close to Sizzla, headed by Tamiann Johnson. Kudos to them for a job well done, including placing sign language interpreters on a local concert stage for the very first time.

A St. James Circuit Court jury has ruled that 25-year-old Shamoya Green is unfit to stand trial for the 2023 murder of her five-month-old daughter. The decision came moments after Green suffered a seizure in court, leading the judge to order a medical evaluation.
National Rapporteur on Trafficking in Persons, Diahann Gordon Harrison, revealed that more than 80% of Jamaica’s human trafficking victims between 2020 and 2025 were children, most between ages 11 and 17, and often exploited by people they know.
Meanwhile, a proposed Criminal Records (Automatic Expungement) Amendment could soon clear the records of over 100,000 Jamaicans with minor non-custodial convictions — giving many a long-awaited second chance.
