Dans le cadre des Journées européennes du patrimoine, le public qui avait effectué le déplacement jusqu’à Grand-Rivière a eu la possibilité de visiter l’habitation Beauséjour. L’occasion de découvrir une nouvelle marque de rhum en Martinique : le Rhum HBS.
L’habitation Beauséjour est située à l’entrée de la commune de Grand-Rivière. Il s’agit d’une exploitation agricole de 60 ha qui domine le bourg de la commune. Sur cette exploitation agricole, se trouve un domaine où ont toujours résidé les différents propriétaires. A l’occasion des JEP, le domaine privé a exceptionnellement ouvert ses portes au public qui a découvert sa richesse culturelle. Le site a appartenu notamment au sénateur Amédée Knigth qui l’a vendu à la famille de Lucy qui en est l’actuelle propriétaire. Ce domaine a conservé intactes les traces de l’histoire de la Martinique. Il existe une grande terrasse entourée d’un très grand jardin où l’on peut trouver de nombreux arbres fruitiers comme des manguiers deux fois centenaires, des cacaoyers ou de la noix de muscade.
Pratiquement au centre de cette terrasse, se trouvent trois pavillons qui servent de maison d’accueil, de bureaux. L’espace accueille aussi l’habitation principale de l’actuel propriétaire. Le tout est complété par une cuisine, un garage et un bassin. On y trouve également, en contrebas, 6 maisonnettes où logent des ouvriers de l’habitation et des retraités ; plus loin, un grand espace est consacré aux ateliers ou hangars. Ces derniers ont servi au fonctionnement d’une sucrerie, puis d’une distillerie qui a fermé ses portes en 1958. On y a ensuite conditionné de la banane. Depuis deux ans, une distillerie y a ouvert ses portes.
Sur cette exploitation agricole, différents végétaux ont été cultivés au fil des ans : indigo, cacao, canne à sucre, banane. Depuis 2007, la canne à sucre est de retour sur l’exploitation. La production de 52 ha est vendue à la distillerie Saint-James et, depuis trois années, 8 hectares sont consacrés à la production d’un rhum commercialisé sous l’appellation « Rhum HBS ». Il s’agit d’une production très artisanale. « Une tonne de cannes coupée à la main y est broyée tous les jours », expliquent les responsables de l’exploitation. La récolte s’effectue durant toute l’année sur des parcelles non mécanisables. La canne est broyée par un petit moulin d’origine brésilienne. Après fermentation, le vin de canne issu du jus est distillé dans un alambic.
La production de rhum est d’environ 100 bouteilles par jour. Le « Rhum HBS » est une production de niche que l’on peut trouver chez des cavistes. Une infime partie est exportée vers l’hexagone ; il s’agit de rhum blanc. La marque s’est aussi lancée depuis 2 ans dans la production de rhum vieux, breuvage qui sera disponible dans plusieurs années.
Trois ouvriers sont affectés à cette tâche ; il en manque un 4ème. Brice, le distillateur, lance d’ailleurs un vibrant appel. Il recherche de toute urgence un ouvrier afin d’étoffer son équipe.
L’habitation ouvrait exceptionnellement ses portes à l’occasion des journées du patrimoine.

Dancehall star Intence is raising some eyebrows with his new song “Correction,” in which he seemingly takes shots at Vybz Kartel, Jahshii, and Kartel’s right-hand man Sikka Rymes.
Intence is not new to controversies and beefs. In fact, his career is built on controversies, so it’s no surprise he is stirring things up after unleashing his new track on the airwaves. The Jett Life deejay started the Futuristic Music and Crash Dummy Productions-produced song saying he doesn’t have to call any names, leaving fans to speculate from his rhymes.
While Vybz Kartel appears to be his primary target in the song, Intence injected a quick line about an artist who shot themself. “Dah one deh bad fi shot himself,” he deejay. Fans were quick to point out that JahShii admitted in an interview with Anthony Miller of Entertainment Report last year that he once shot himself. The interview went viral for that, among other reasons.
Intence seemingly emphasized this line aimed toward Vybz Kartel, who is currently incarcerated. “No boy cant gimme chat weh nah f*** suh uno build,” he deejays. The dancehall artist again took more shots at the Worl’Boss in the punchline where he sings, “Laugh after dem, ha ha ha ha haa, a nuh me make uno naa get nuh pun na na naa.”
Still, it might be a stretch to single out Vybz Kartel as the primary target in those lines since the former Portmore Empire deejay is currently engaged to his girlfriend of seven years, Sidem Öztürk. She has been visiting him at the Horizon Adult Remand Center, where he is housed, so perhaps he is also getting “conjugal” visits. Of course, in Intence eyes, he is not getting any “pun na na naa.”
One particular line is a clear shot at Kartel’s right-hand man, Sikka Rymes, who was shot three times in December 2019 in St. Andrew. “Dem couldn’t mad fi bad mi up, dem never bad a Liguanea,” Intence deejays, seemingly alluding to when the artist was shot in the same location.
Intence also released the song with an accompanying music video directed by Jerro Will. Fans have also been reacting to the diss record, with most praising the “New Gear” deejay for the effort.
“To be honest intence flow smooth and clean every song intence drop it have a different flow this artist really a lyrical machine,” one fan wrote while another added, “To diss Vybz Kartel and JahShii in the same song a no normal badness man say anything a anything mi like the vibes for dancehall but Jashii a coward him nah go respond and Sikka no ready for this level of lyrical warfare.”
“Intence hit the target straight with this one am bumping it for the rest of the year dem man better retire,” another fan wrote.

Boxing legend Mike Tyson is not disputing that he once made an offer to Bronx rapper Remy Ma to sleep with him in exchange for a luxury car.
An interview clip has gone viral with Mike Tyson sitting down with Fat Joe and Angie Martinez, and it’s quite cringy. Mike Tyson and Fat Joe discussed the story on the former’s podcast called Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson podcast, which premiered on Sept. 15. According to Fat Joe, the incident happened in 2004 when Remy Ma was not only a big-time rapper but she was already established and had several hits under her name, like the track “Monster” featuring Swizz Beatz.
While many were tuned in to the young Remy, who oozed gangster with a splash of sexy, it seemed that Tyson was also watching her. According to Fat Joe, Tyson invited him to his mansion and specially requested the Bronx rapper to come too. “Mike invites me to the house and he says bring Remy Ma with you,” Fat Joe begins.
“We go to the house. He opens the door butt naked,” Joe says. “Mike opens the door ass naked. I’m like, what the fuck is up, bro?’”
Joe added, “He takes me [on] a tour of the house, I’m not lying to you, every room I walked in, there was a chick in every room. In every fucking room, jacuzzi… I’m like what the f**k, Iron Mike, this guy lives a f****g life.”
Mike Tyson, who previewed the story by saying that it is an old story and no one should be mad, also shared that he told Joe to leave the then 24-year-old Remy Ma behind. “I said, ‘Joe, just leave Remy Ma,’” Tyson chimed in. “She was upstairs and I was blocking her. She was, ‘No, no.’”
Joe also confirmed that the boxer “wanted to keep Remy Ma.” When Remy refused, Tyson also tried his best to entice her with material possessions.
“He made her offers. He showed this convertible Benz new shit. He was like, ‘You can keep this, all you gotta do is spend one night.’ She looked at me like, ‘Joe, if you don’t get me the f**k out this house.’ I was like, ‘Mike, we can’t do that. This is my sister’ … He offered her some f**king 500 Benz, I was like, ‘Oh my God.’”
Mike Tyson’s documentary is currently playing on Hulu. The documentary, although not supported by Mike Tyson, does bring into focus the boxer’s extravagant lifestyle but also the difficulties and hardships he faced before becoming a famous boxer, and also his interactions with women as a powerful and famous man.
Tyson’s career suffered immensely when he was accused by a beauty queen, Desiree Washington, of raping her in 1991.
The former heavyweight world champion was arrested in July 1991 after being accused of raping Washington at a Canterbury hotel in Indianapolis. The victim had claimed that the boxer had attended one of her pageant rehearsals in the town, and he had invited her to his hotel room, and while there, he forced himself on her.
In February 1992, Tyson was found guilty of rape after a short two-week trial. He was sentenced to 10 years in jail but eventually had four years suspended and was released early in March 1995.
It’s unclear if his podcast will address the rape trial.

Police Commissioner, Major General Antony Anderson, has declared that the police “must win” each time they engage in firefights with gunmen.
Anderson was adding his voice to views made public by National Security Minister, Dr Horace Chang last week, in which he stated that police officers should “fire back” if gunmen engage them in firefights.
“I hear calls all over the place to ask me to comment on what the minister had said about shooting. Every single time that the police and gunmen engage, the police must win,” the commissioner indicated.
He was speaking Wednesday while on tour in Spring Village, St Catherine, where three people were shot dead and six others injured at at football field on Sunday.
Chang has faced backlash from the Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM) and civil society groups such as Jamaicans For Justice (JFJ), who have suggested that the minister should retract the comments, as they seemingly suggest that police officers should “shoot to kill” when confronted by armed criminals.
However, Chang has insisted that he will not withdraw the comments, arguing that he never used the term “shoot to kill”, but rather, “fire back”.
According to Anderson, the police force ensures that its members are well-trained.
“We shoot centre of mass; that’s where we shoot, that’s where we are trained to shoot… We ensure that our members are well-trained,” he said.
Turning to Sunday’s mass shooting incident in Spring Village, Anderson said:
The enemy has a face and is identifiable, and you saw them the other day. That’s how they look like and that’s how they operate. They don’t care.
They (the gunmen) can shoot randomly. If you pressure them, they just kill everybody. We (the police) are constrained and restrained in how we function.
He added: “So when you hear the nonsense, trying to make those guys — those youngsters (young policemen) who put themselves in harm’s [way] to protect the rest of Jamaica — as the problem, it’s nonsense,” declared the commissioner.
Meanwhile, Anderson told the grieving loved ones of those killed on Sunday that the police will support them in their time of difficulty.

ATTORNEYS for the soldier in custody in relation to Tuesday’s deadly heist in La Romaine have written to acting Police Commissioner McDonald Jacob complaining of his “arbitrary” detention.
Attorneys from the firm Criston J Williams and Company on Thursday said the 24-year-old soldier was yet to be interviewed since his arrest on September 19, when he went to report the theft of his vehicle by five armed men.
The soldier, who is assigned to a base in La Romaine, is being detained at the San Fernando CID in relation to Tuesday’s deadly robbery attempt.
Two security guards with Allied Security Ltd, who were transporting money from Pennywise Cosmetics, La Romaine, branch, were killed by five men who ambushed them and their colleagues. One of the guards, Peola Baptiste, is critical in hospital. Those who died were Jeffer Peters and Jerry Stuart.
Police later caught up with the armed robbers killing four. The police have identified them as Kyle and his brother Keyon “Bush” Ramdhan of Delhi Road, Greg Dodough, and Deaundre “Monty” Montrose, all of Fyzabad.
Williams said the solider, who is also from Fyzabad, could be released to the Army’s custody.
In response, the legal officer for the TTPS, Tsonda Gayle, denied the soldier’s detention was arbitrary, insisting it was reasonable and justified.
Instead, Gayle said the active investigation was likely to be unduly affected by “unnecessary disturbances” such as responding to pre-action protocol letters, causing further delays.
Gayle also said Williams’s letter could be perceived as intimidation and reminded that the police should be allowed the free opportunity to investigate with unnecessary haste to reduce error and ensure fairness to all.
Gayle also said only 33 hours have elapsed since the soldier’s arrest.
In another letter sent on Thursday, Williams demanded all station diary extracts and any records relating to their client as well as to know if there were plans to put their client on an identification parade.
