Councillor Winston Maragh Saddened After Killings in Rocky Point

Councillor Winston Maragh

Rocky Point in Clarendon is in the news again. This time, it is about the shooting of three people, and two are dead. This incident took place on February 09, 2026. It is the same Rock Point where it was reported that a plane landed in 2021, and nothing has been heard from the occupants since. A month ago, three family members were chopped to death in the community.

This is a community where the social workers should step in.  I understand that Rocky Point is a small community of approximately 3,000 residents.

The councillor for the area, Winston Maragh, was saddened by the event, and he had this to say:

We must remember that although murders are down in Jamaica, we don't know if a significant number of murderers are still in society. Jamaica is a criminal's paradise.  Bark Di Trute commentator Michael Spence says that if crime drops significantly, it will negatively impact economic activities.

The shocking reality is that murderers no longer face the death penalty, and they can always plead guilty to manslaughter and end up with a shorter sentence.

Jamaica is certainly a criminal's paradise.

Another Alleged Drug Boat Taken Down By US Forces.

The following information was taken from the US Southbound Command X site.

On Feb. 9, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Two narco-terrorists were killed and one survived the strike. Following the engagement, USSOUTHCOM immediately notified U.S. Coast Guard to activate the Search and Rescue system for the survivor. 

US forces have been targeting vessels they suspect of smuggling narcotics through the Caribbean and eastern Pacific since September. At least 38 lethal strikes have been carried out in that time and over 128 people have died

Editor's Note

If the US is shooting these alleged drug boats, why travel that route?

When a Woman Takes on The Mighty Irie FM On Wednesday

I have been reliably informed that Irie FM will be in the news on Wednesday, February 11, 2026. Beverly Davis, who has served IRIE FM for 25 years, has been fighting for millions of dollars outstanding to her, she claims. On Wednesday, she will stage a one-woman protest in front of the IRE FM office in Ocho Rios from 9:00 am.

Davis was known as an outstanding salesperson at the station, and she said she had to stop working due to mold in the building. She has suffered physical and emotional stress as a result. She has been fighting this issue for about seven years now. She claims that she is due medical redundancy payments. outstanding sales commissions and other payments.

The Ministry of Labour is aware of the concerns regarding the station. I understand that other workers have faced a similar working environment challenge, but they are scared to take action. The Ministry of Labour has the responsibility for ensuring that workers work in an environment where they are able to maintain good health. When a similar matter came up a few years ago, it was said that the ministry does not have sufficient inspectors to inspect workplaces and take appropriate action.

It is expected that Davis will have the support of many women's organizations in the island.

A Powerhouse of Performers for Jazz In The Gardens.

Jazz In The Gardens will be back on March 29, 2026, at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in Kingston. It will be a powerhouse of artistes not seen together in a long time. Catch the talented performer and musician, Everton Pessoa, the Fab 5 Band, and the lady with the melodious voice, Gem Myers. The multitalented artist Harold Dayis will light up your life. We will also have Keisha Patterson, showwoman par excellence; Kenroy Mullings, and the beautiful lady with the beautiful voice, Tanice Morrison. This one-of-a-kind show will have actress and broadcaster Rosie Murray as the pilot for the evening. 

You cannot afford to miss this exciting show. Bark Di Trute, as usual, will have two tickets to give away, so keep following this blog.

The show is a staple of the Jamaican entertainment scene, now in its 25th year. The ambience at the Jamaican Pegasus, with the backdrop of the lovely vegetation, is the ideal setting for music on a cool Sunday afternoon.

It is the ideal place to take the family for a relaxing evening of beautiful music.

I am encouraging companies to sponsor some young people to attend this show. This is one way we can help to expose the young people to different types of music. There is an important need to expose our young people to music which is more about love and helping to build our country.

Portmore Resilience Park

The following message is from a Bark Di Trute supporter, Donald Gordon.

GM Mr. Derby,

Just sharing a Vision with you.

Portmore Resilience Park soon be completed, but what i noticed, they are planting lots of Palm Trees.

I am Proposing that they also give consideration to the Planting of some Dwarf Coconut Trees for Food Security and a income earner.

Years to come Visitors to the Portmore Resilience Park will be able to Purchase a freshly picked Coconut to have their Nutritious  Coconut Water to drink at the Family Park 🌴🌴

This could also become part of the  Park attraction for Visitors.

The palm trees will not feed anyone and will not assist the Government Food Security Initiatives.

We need greater Vision into the Future, not just talk, it must be follow up with Strong Actions.

Please to share with the Authorities.

Editor's Note

It would be a good idea to have several fruit trees in the park and a fish pond. Let it not be a park with too much concrete.

Can Dis Bad Pickney Be Changed?

Who recalls this evidentiary symptom of the negative socialization of our nation's children? The foundation of the brutish, murderous, vulgar, and uncivilized Jamaica. Nasty mouthism in motion. Who can stop this now? A child, perhaps no more than 4 years old, so bold.

Brilliance is what I see, having great potential. At that age, he is so bold and seemingly soaked up all that is in his socio-cultural environment.

It would be of great sociological interest to track this child; it could make a great study from which a lot could be learned. On internship I had a class of deviants and illiterates. You had to be creative to teach them because the objective is to teach X. The assessors could arrive unannounced; that's what they mark you on. Has your objective to teach X been achieved? If not, why not? You have failed.

The present system of teacher training "internship" has been dispensed with. 

Partly explains why Jamaica's literacy has fallen so badly that we are now the 4th most illiterate in the Caribbean. Jamaica's literacy programs need to focus on the male child first. More male teachers needed.

Editor's Note

It would be interesting to track this child and see what he becomes in 10 years to 20 years time.

Sweetened Condensed Milk Is Cancerous?

Thanks to the Bark Di Trute supporter John Wildish for bringing this condensed milk concern to my attention. First, I remember when condensed milk was thick and sweet. When you believe that the milk was finished, you had to take a spoon to literally dig out the condensed milk at the bottom of the tin.

The Bark Di Trute supporter asked the Bureau of Standards a question, and he was referred to Mr Stewart at the National Compliance and Regulatory Authority.

His question is, has the standard for sweetened condensed milk been changed to allow seaweed extract (carrageenan gum) to be added to sweetened condensed milk? The supporter says this seaweed extract is not used in condensed milk anywhere else in the world. 

Those who work with these government entities are servants of the people, and you have a responsibility to answer the people's questions. 

Bureau of Standards and the National Compliance and Regulatory Authority, you are there to deal with the people's concerns and to protect their interests.

Please note that there are controversies about carrageenan gum and its effect on the body, especially when it is in a degenerative state. Some feel that it can cause cancer.

I call on the National Compliance and Regulatory Authority to respond to this matter. I have sent a question about a banned product in the past, and they did not respond.
