Kingston College Old Boys’ Association, U.S.A. 28th 2011Reunion PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE am honored that I was chosen to lead KCOBA USA Inc. at this critical time in the school’s history. I did not arrive at KC by accident. It was I always the wish of my parents. While my parents were not Anglicans or educated folks they were aware of Bishop Gibson and his commitment to the youth of Jamaica. They felt, particularly my father, that attending KC would mature me early and allow me to fulfi ll whatever destiny God had in store for me and that in the years to come I would enlarge whatever footprints he had managed to leave. His dream for me was not unique. It is what I hold for my children today and no doubt what you hold for yours. Some 43 years after my initial arrival at the College you must know that I have never left. The pas- sion that I hold for our beloved alma mater has never been greater. The challenge we face has never been more compelling. The solutions have never been clearer. Our capacity to respond to these problems has never been greater. However, conditions at Kingston College continue to deteriorate. Local olds boys, steep in nostalgia seem oblivious or resigned to the situation. Visiting old boys face an initial shock during their brief stop-over then shake it off even before they become airborne. When you choose to overstay as I have and look behind the curtains you realize that there is some truth to James 5:16 that “the prayer…of the righteous …availeth much…” KC is held together by prayer or crazy glue. As I prepare to hand over leadership of the association into more capable hands I would like to remind the incoming board that goals are meet and challenges overcome by fi xity of purpose and unyielding determination. Our leadership of the nutrition program, the scholarship program and the Baxter Math Club must continue to grow. Our contributions have been signifi cant but it pales in light of the enormity of the problems. Gentlemen, our commitment to the development of the physi- cal plant must not waiver. Finally, tonight this association recognizes the contribution of fi ve prominent citizens of Jamaica. Four of them have entertained audiences all over the world. In fact when I spoke to Howard Bar- rett some months ago his list of vocal credits sounded much like the last hour’s performance of our scholarship dance. Pat Chin is more responsible than any one for the proliferation of reggae music worldwide. Maureen Lewis has spent over thirty years at KC teaching, mentoring and guiding young lives. I welcome you this evening to our 28th Annual Reunion and Awards Banquet and on behalf of old boys everywhere I congratulate you and wish for you long live, good health, continued success and God’s richest blessings.

Kingston College Old Boys’ Association, U.S.A. 28th 2011Reunion Message From the Board Chairman ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ongratulations to the New York Chapter of the Kingston College Old Boys’ Association (KCOBA) on your 28th Annual Reunion. Congratulations CThe Reunion – lovingly and meticulously organized by Robert Kelly, Robert Rodney and other hard-working colleagues – provides an opportunity for KC Old Boys in the diaspora to come together for intel- to all the Distinguished honorees lectual and social refreshment. But, in addition, the Reunion helps to rekindle the commitment that Old Boys and sponsors share for Kingston College. This commitment has over the years ensured that KC retains its position of ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ superiority in various aspects of school life in Jamaica. So, for example, this year’s KC victory in the Schools’ Challenge Quiz refl ects strong commitment and generosity on the part of Old Boys in Jamaica, New York and elsewhere, to the cause of success. Similarly, the continuing renovation of the Science Laboratories at North Street, improvements to infrastructure at Melbourne, renovations to the KC Pavilion, and other initiatives, all owe their origins and driving-force to contributions Raoul Parchment from the Kingston College Old Boys fraternity. For these initiatives, I extend the gratitude and ap- preciation of the Board to all the sponsors and supporters. As you enjoy the pleasures of the reunion, and as you refl ect on the way forward for KC, I would encourage you to note some unfi nished business on our collective agenda. KC continues to provide students with the opportunity to obtain a strong, rounded education, built on Christian values; but at the upper echelons, at the scholarship level, our record needs to be reinforced: this must be corrected by specifi c initiatives to enhance the academic programme at school.

Como mais famoso porta-voz do reggae e do rastafarismo, as memórias sobre Marley revelam as contradições e paradoxos da sociedade envolvente jamaicana quanto ao uso das imagens elaboradas sobre o cantor. Palavras-Chave: Bob Marley; Reggae; Rastafari; Jamaica; Memória. Abstract Through the biographical narrative of Bob Marley (1945-1981), the article analyzes how different images and memories about the singer were elaborated during his life and after his death, trying to establish the meanings, appropriations, political strategies and interests at stake. As the most celebrated spokesman for reggae and Rastafarianism, Marley’s memoirs reveal the contradictions and paradoxes of Jamaican society surrounding the use of elaborated images of the singer.

Three cases are examined. The first is rock music whose emergent Romantic mode of creativity in the 1960s was strongly reinforced by copyright law. The second, countervailing example is that of reggae music in Jamaica where, in the absence of effective copyright, a form of social authorship emerged, albeit a strongly entrepreneurial one. The open source software movement, with its explicit repudiation of copyright, provides the final case. Like reggae music it is socially authored. However reggae’s first-to-market business model and entrepreneurial culture actually make it a better guide to how cultural production might be organised in a market system, but without the economic and cultural costs that attach to copyright. 2 Copyright and the Conditions of Creativity Copyright and the Conditions of Creativity: Social Authorship in Reggae Music and Open Source Software Copyright is usually considered to be an institution that comes into operation after the creative moment.

  • Media Release Radio Jamaica and the Gleaner to Combine
    MEDIA RELEASE RADIO JAMAICA AND THE GLEANER TO COMBINE MEDIA OPERATIONS The boards of Radio Jamaica Limited, (RJR) and The Gleaner Company Limited, (Gleaner) today announced that their directors have signed an agreement which will see the combination of their respective media businesses. The transaction, which is to be pursued through a court approved scheme of amalgamation, will be a stock for stock deal where Radio Jamaica Limited will issue and exchange 1.2 billion shares on a one for one basis to shareholders of The Gleaner Company Limited for 100 percent of a newly formed subsidiary Gleaner Company (Media) Limited (GCML) which will hold the assets of the media entities of the Gleaner Company. Simultaneous with the transaction, the remaining publicly traded Gleaner Company Limited, with non-media assets comprising mainly real estate and other investments will be renamed. This will result in the shareholders of the Gleaner Company Limited owning 50 percent of Radio Jamaica Limited’s common stock and existing RJR shareholders owning the remaining 50-percent of the combined business. The coming together will create the country’s leading Media Company, providing, print, online, radio, television, cable television and new media products and services. "This is the most exciting development for media in over 50 years. The combination of RJR’s and the Gleaner’s leadership in print and electronic media, our track record of credibility, our commitment to high journalistic standards and excellent customer service are outstanding positives for stakeholders in both companies," said Gary Allen, Managing Director, Radio Jamaica Limited, "The companies have been the leaders in all of the industry’s most important innovations in media over the last 180 years and this merger will accelerate the pace of that innovation to deliver superior products and services within the highly competitive and dynamic marketplace in which we operate”, Allen said.
