Prime Minister Andrew Holness has announced plans for two new recreational parks, including one already in development in Manchester and another proposed for Kingston and St Andrew. The Manchester park is currently being finalised, with discussions ongoing with the local municipality regarding its location. Holness also revealed that discussions have begun with the Governor-General on developing a park on sections of King’s House lands. The proposed space is expected to cater especially to seniors, providing “a place where they can exercise and walk securely.” The National Housing Trust (NHT) will be responsible for the development of the parks. #JamaicaObserver #BudgetDebate #AndrewHolness #NHT #Kingston

I would not trust anyone who would pay more for water than they would pay for gas, to run the economy.

Any season of transition can be difficult. The narratives and communications circulating about us on social media over the past few days have made this season even more difficult for us and our family. We want to express our deep gratitude for the twelve years we spent at Reformation Bible College and Ligonier Ministries. We are thankful for that time and for the people we had the privilege to serve. We also appreciate that both RBC and Ligonier have conducted themselves in an amicable, gracious, and honorable manner during this season of transition, and we have sought to do the same. Since others have shared their version of events, we believe it is appropriate to share ours. In January 2024, we learned from the counselor of our daughter, Grace, that he had submitted a report to the Florida Department of Children and Families of suspicion of sexual abuse of Grace by Stephen Adams. On January 10, 2025, we reported suspicion of sexual abuse of our daughter by Stephen Adams to Saint Andrew’s Chapel. Over subsequent meetings, we realized that we were at an impasse with our church and that we had different perspectives on how to handle this situation. On April 21, 2025, we notified a pastor at Saint Andrew’s that we would begin the process of finding a new church. We notified him again on July 20, 2025, that it would be our last Sunday (and it was). We each received separate indictments two days later, July 22, 2025. We were accused of slander, unresolved anger, collusion to deceive, failure to follow session directives, and breach of membership vows. There was never a trial, and our case was never adjudicated. After Saint Andrew’s Chapel voted to disassociate from the PCA on December 14, 2025, we immediately resigned our memberships. On Sunday evening, December 14, we joined New Hope PCA in Eustis, Florida, by testimony. On January 27, 2026, Saint Andrew’s found us guilty of contumacy, which is the failure to submit to the authority of the church and refusal to appear before the church. Afterwards on February 25, 2026, at their request, we met with a committee of the session to answer any questions and hopefully bring some resolution to our differences. On March 10, 2026, Saint Andrew’s excommunicated us, not on the underlying indictments, but for contumacy. We remain members in good standing at New Hope and are grateful for the love, care, and support of our pastors and our church during this season. We reported suspicion of sexual abuse of our daughter, we ended up indicted, and we ended up excommunicated. We are deeply saddened by all that has taken place and grieved for everyone involved. Our prayer and hope is that the central issue will not be lost. At the heart of this issue is the suspected sexual abuse of our daughter. —Stephen and Heidi Nichols

Leon Bailey looks set to make his long awaited return to the Reggae Boyz, with reports indicating that the Jamaican winger will be part of the squad for next week’s FIFA World Cup playoffs.

@desireidJ @Mark_Bytes Fayval said it would go to $1.9 as programmed.

@Mark_Bytes It was mentioned last year in tranches, therefore the increase this year is automatic.

No mention of “Income Tax 2.0” in that debate
