The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News
Twenty-eight-year-old Donavon Stewart, a taxi operator of James Street in Rose Town, Kingston 13 has been charged with illegal possession of firearms and ammunition and robbery with aggravation.
Stewart’s charges stem from an incident that occurred along Spanish Town Road, Kingston 11 on Thursday, July 28.
According to reports from the police, a man and his two sons met Stewart to purchase a motor car that was advertised for sale on a social media platform.
Stewart reportedly led the prospective buyers along a dirt track going leading to the Rose Town community where he showed them a different motor vehicle from the one that was advertised.
Stewart tried to convince the man to buy the vehicle. The man refused and proceeded to leave when Stewart and two other men pounced on him, the police said.
The man and his sons were held up at gunpoint and robbed of three cellular phones and $614,000. Following investigations, Stewart was arrested and subsequently charged. His court date is being finalized.

Commonwealth Games: Rasheed Broadbell wins men’s hurdles gold Loop Jamaica

Jamaica’s Rasheed Broadbell produced a personal best effort to equal Colin Jackson’s 32-year-old Commonwealth Games record to win the men’s 110m hurdles gold medal inside the Alexander Stadium, in Birmingham, on Thursday night.
The 21-year-old Broadbell dominated the final from the start to win in 13.08 seconds making up for the disappointment of last year when injury prevented him from going to the Tokyo Olympics.
“I knew I had to stay focused and that is what I did,” said Broadbell. “Sometimes, when you run, you don’t know what is going to happen.
“You just have to execute properly. I’m not sure if I clipped any hurdles.”

Shane Brathwaite of Barbados took silver in a season’s best 13.30 while local hero Andy Pozzi won a dramatic battle for bronze ahead of fellow Briton Joshua Zeller.
Pozzi crossed the line in 13.37, just ahead of Zeller, who clocked 13.39.
Broadbell’s teammate Orlando Bennett finished fifth in 13.43 seconds.
The other Jamaican – Hansle Parchment, the Olympic champion – had withdrawn earlier in the day due to a niggle.
Broadbell’s gold represents the second for Jamaica in Birmingham.
Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah held off Julien Alfred of St Lucia and Daryll Neita of England in the women’s 100m final on Thursday, to claim Jamaica’s first gold medal of the meet.

Earlier, Traves Smikle took the bronze medal in the men’s discus with a fourth-round effort of 64.58m.
Smikle’s teammate Roja Stona finished in sixth place with a third-round effort of 62.15m.
Australia’s Matthew Denny smashed his personal best twice to claim a completely dominant victory.
Any of Denny’s six throws in the final would have been good enough to claim the gold medal.
He set a new personal best of 67.24m in the penultimate round, then bettered the mark again a few minutes later with 67.26m with the final throw of the night.
England’s Lawrence Okoye (64.99m) was second.

Jamaica’s 18-year-old Brianna Lyston moved a step closer to her first major championship medal by securing a spot in the women’s 200m final at the World Under-20 Championships in Cali, Colombia on Thursday.
Lyston, who is the gold medal favourite in light of her notable progression this year, advanced from the heats of the 200m semifinals with the quickest time. She won the second heat in 22.83 seconds, beating Mia Brahe-Pedersen of the USA who clocked a new personal best time of 22.95 to secure the other automatic qualifying spot from the heat.
Brahe-Pedersen’s 22.95 represents the second quickest in the heats.
Lyston will be hard to deny in the final on Friday following her improvements this year from 23.18 to 22.53 in the 200m and 11.44 to 11.14 in the 100m. She leads the 200m entries with that PB, which she ran into a -2.2m/s headwind at the Boys and Girls’ Athletics Championships in April.
Lyston’s teammate Alana Reid also progressed from the semifinals following a second-place finish in her heat.
Reid secured a new personal best time of 23.16, the fifth quickest in the heats. The heat was won by Jayla Jamison of the USA in 23.01, the third quickest in the round.
Earlier, Jamaica’s men’s and women’s 4x100m relay teams advanced to their respective finals on Friday.
The team of Serena Cole, Tina Clayton, Alexis James, and Tia Clayton easily won heat one of the women’s 4x100m relay to progress. The team clocked 43.28 seconds, easily the quickest over the three heats.
The men’s quartet of Bouwahjgie Nkrumie, Adrian Kerr, Mark-Anthony Daley, and David Lynch finished their heat second, behind Japan, which won in 39.12 seconds, the quickest over the four heats.
Jamaica clocked 39.24, the second quickest going into the medal round.
And Jamaica’s Roshawn Clarke secured a spot in the men’s 400m hurdles final while his teammate Antonio Forbes did not advance.
Clarke moved into Friday’s medal round after he ran a new personal best time of 49.35 to win his semifinal heat. The time represents the quickest over the three heats.
His previous personal best of 49.39 was set in Kingston in June when winning his national U20 title.
Forbes (51.42) crashed out following a sixth-place finish in heat one of the semifinals.

LOVELL: Let’s harness the full potential of our cultural assets
Black Immigrant Daily News
The content originally appeared on: Antigua News Room
United Progressive Party Leader Harold Lovell said:
I attended a few of our Carnival fêtes this year and I was extremely impressed with the high level of creativity, organization and execution.
Fête organizers got it right in delivering good entertainment value for money.
There was an explosion of new fêtes on this year’s entertainment calendar and this signals untapped potential for “events tourism” in Antigua and Barbuda.
Our cultural product has tremendous potential to generate business activity, attract visitors and stimulate growth in our economy.
The UPP will position Antigua and Barbuda as the “Events Capital of the Eastern Caribbean.” This will include a comprehensive calendar of events that will provide holistic year round cultural experiences as a key part of the tourism product.
It will also require greater inter-ministerial collaboration, particularly among Tourism, Culture, Events and Entrepreneurship to ensure that the most beneficial amenities and attractions are provided to attendees, sponsors and the community.
The success of Carnival can be measured not only by the extent to which it instills a sense of national pride, by bringing the community together to celebrate our culture.
It should also be gauged by the impact on our economy, especially the ability to create jobs, among entrepreneurs and small businesses. #upptherightchoice #golovellgo #breakfastfete2022 #PeopleFirst
