MBCC principal urges nation to save its young people as ‘undercurrent of anger in society’ highlighted after multiple school brawls

Western BUREAU:Fresh concerns are being raised over the increasing incidents of school violence, including student-on-student conflict and assaults on teachers, with Dr Darien Henry, the principal of the Montego Bay Community College (MBCC), saying they must be denounced and Jamaica's youth must be rescued from the brutality.Speaking at Friday's launch of the Spot Valley High School's Police Youth Club in St James, Henry pointed to last Wednesday's reports of multiple fights among students at the St Elizabeth Technical High School (STETHS) as an indicator that too many young people are normalising anger and violence as an appropriate response to conflict."Yesterday (Thursday), I was discombobulated by what happened in one of our senior high schools, where the school had to be locked down because the young people were let loose upon themselves. What is happening to our young people? What is happening? There is no respect for authority in schools any more," he said."Now, more than ever, we have to rescue our young people

Treasure Beach miracle - Club survives Melissa devastation, JPL rigours

Devastated by Hurricane Melissa and threatened with relegation from the Jamaica Premier League (JPL), Treasure Beach head coach Kemar Ricketts lauded his team’s resilience in their fight to secure their spot in the top flight.Treasure Beach escaped the relegation battle and secured their survival on Sunday with an impressive 2-0 win over Montego Bay United.It was their third win in a row and moved them to 43 points with one game left to play, opening an unassailable four-point gap over the relegation- embattled Molynes United and Harbour View, both on 39.Ricketts said it was a “‘tremendous feeling”’ to know they had ensured their survival after the full-time whistle on Sunday.He said the win was not just for the team, but it was for St Elizabeth and the surrounding parishes, which had been impacted by the hurricane last year.“First, let me say thanks be to God, because we wouldn't have been able to survive the hurricane and then do what we have done now without him being at the forefront and guiding us. It's a tremendous feeling for the team and the community and the parish and the adjoining parishes,” Ricketts said.“For the boys themselves, they needed this, they wanted to work for it, they have worked for it, and it's well deserved for them to remain in the [Jamaica] Premier League and see what we can achieve in the coming season.”‘IT WAS ROUGH’Ricketts said it was not an easy ordeal to recover from the impact of the hurricane as not only the team and its players were affected, but their sponsors as well.He said the hurricane severely impacted their financial resources and they had to take drastic measures to ensure that the club could continue to compete.Ricketts also explained that they were forced to play a congested fixture to make up for the weeks in which they were out of operation.“It was rough because we had a lot of battles

He noted that the company’s Comeback Coops initiative complements the Government’s programme by providing additional support to farmers seeking to restart operations.He indicated that such collaboration is critical in accelerating recovery in rural communities where poultry farming plays an essential economic role.“Hi-Pro had also worked with us at the Ministry on an initiative where they provided veterinary support for people in communities and for their animals
