MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES a) Waste Water on Barrett Street Arising from minutes of Monthly General Meeting held on 14/12/17, [page 3 item a], the Acting Chief Public Health Inspector said that the Commissioner of Corrections was not in court, hence a bench warrant was issued for her arrest. He said that her lawyer later indicated that she was ill and a certificate was issued supporting her illness and the Magistrate asked for a stay of execution. The matter will again be heard on March 20, 2018. Arrival of Councillor At this stage Councillor Keith Knight joined the meeting. 3 b) Thetford Cemetery Arising from Monthly General Meeting held on 14/12/17, [page 3 item c], the Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) said that the Corporation is still awaiting the gazetting of the fees. He said that the Minister has signed off on the document and it has been forwarded to the Chief Parliamentary Council. The Chairman said that it was not a long process thereafter, and so by the end of the following week the Council should have something in hand. Councillor Wilson said that he was happy to know that this Corporation has made history and he thinks that the Chairman had worked hard to achieve one of the major goals that were set. He said that he would like to see the cemetery opened with some pageantry, as it is something that most Mayors have not achieved and will not achieve during their tenure. The Chairman said that the Acting CEO will ensure that things are put in place to have a proper opening of the cemetery. Councillor Allen wished everyone a happy new year. She said that 2017 was very challenging but the Corporation had achieved a lot. She said that the cemetery was a landmark achievement and it showed how much can be achieved when everyone worked together as a team. She said that she would also like to pay homage to Minister McKenzie, who shared the vision of the Corporation and worked with the Corporation to achieve this cemetery for the parish. c) Linstead Market Update Arising from minutes of Monthly General Meeting held on 12/14/17, [page 4 item d], the Acting CEO said that the removal of the old stalls and refrigerators would be done shortly. d) Concerns to be addressed by the Minister of Local Government Arising from minutes of Monthly General Meeting held on 12/14/17, [page 18 item iv], the Chairman said the Corporations are autonomous bodies and that he did not see a Permanent Secretary trying to impose any conditionality independently on the Corporations. 6. CHAIRMAN’S ANNOUNCEMENT The Chairman read the following announcements: The Chairman wished everyone a happy new year. He said that they were a team working for one common goal and just like they had done last year, he hoped that they will do better this year. He said that he hoped that they would all get to do enough for their constituents and that the harmonious working relationship will continue. 4 7. UNFINISHED BUSINESS FROM LAST MEETING Nil 8. ALGAJ REPORT The ALGAJ report was circulated to Councillors and Officers. On the motion of Councillor Fenley Douglas, seconded by Councillor Sydney Rose, the meeting accepted the report. Councillor Wilson said that he was a firm believer in ALGAJ. He said however that there are signs of too much involvement of one political side over the years and therefore there is no true representation. He said that he wanted an ALGAJ that is going to forget who is at Hagley Park Road. He said that he wanted to see a mix of Councillors on the executive, who will ensure that the Minister understands the plight of Councillors. He said that Councillors have been asking to be paid motor vehicle upkeep and nothing is being done in this regard. He said that they wanted to support ALGAJ, but wanted to see changes in the executive body and that he hoped that Minister McKenzie will come to the rescue of his Councillors. The Chairman said that years ago he had refused to support ALGAJ because of the same reason. He said that he supported JAG Myers because he fought for the rights of Councillors and had achieved a number of objectives for the Councillors. He said that he thinks that ALGAJ should be led by the party in opposition in order to be more effective and address the interest of councillors. Councillor Palmer said that he understands and supports the sentiments expressed y his colleagues and added that as it relates to getting results, it would be good to have the opposition lead ALGAJ. 9. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Nil 10. LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH On the motion of Councillor Sydney Rose, seconded by Councillor, Hawthrone Thompson, the meeting resolved itself into the Local Board of Health. i) Report Medical Officer The Acting Chief Public Health Inspector read the report from his department as under: “Mr. Chairman, each year seems to bring new problems and concerns in addition to old ones and the health department is prepared for the challenges. The department is ready to work with all the councillors and the corporation to promote the health and wellbeing of residents of the parish. I would like to wish all persons a Prosperous and Productive New Year. 5 Jamaica Moves Mr. Chairman, it is the initiative of the Ministry of Health that persons take responsibility for their own health and so regular health checks, exercise and rest are encouraged. The parish will host Jamaica Moves at the Prison Oval on March 23, 2018. It is hoped that all persons will come out and benefit from the free health checks that will be provided, entertainment and the other activities that will happen on that day.

  • Jamaica's Parishes and Civil Registration Districts
    Jamaican registration districts Jamaica’s parishes and civil registration districts [updated 2010 Aug 15] (adapted from a Wikimedia Commons image) Parishes were established as administrative districts at the English conquest of 1655. Though the boundaries have changed over the succeeding centuries, parishes remain Jamaica’s fundamental civil administrative unit. The three counties of Cornwall (green, on the map above), Middlesex (pink), and Surrey (yellow) have no administrative relevance. The present parishes were consolidated in 1866 with the re-division of eight now- extinct entities, none of which will have civil records. A good historical look at the parishes as they changed over time may be found on the privately compiled “Jamaican Parish Reference,” http://prestwidge.com/river/jamaicanparishes.html (cited 2010 Jul 1). Civil registration of vital records was mandated in 1878. For civil recording, parishes were subdivided into named registration districts. Districts record births, marriages (but not divorces), and deaths since the mandate. Actual recording might not have begun in a district until several years later after 1878. An important comment on Jamaican civil records may be found in the administrative history available on the Registrar General’s Department Website at http://apps.rgd.gov.jm/history/ (cited 2010 Jul 1). This list is split into halves: 1) a list of parishes with their districts organized alphabetically by code; and 2) an alphabetical index of district names as of the date below the title. As the Jamaican population grows and districts are added, the list of registration districts lengthens. The parish code lists are current to about 1995. Registration districts created after that date are followed by the parish name rather than their district code.

  • Case Studies
    CASE STUDIES Food products (1) Jamaica Ginger - Between the 1930s and 1960s, Jamaica was listed as one of the three largest producers of ginger in the world. Ginger oil is often used for cordials and ginger wine and preserved ginger is a very popular confection. The main markets are the USA, Western Europe and Japan. A 10-mile radius around Christiana in Manchester, Jamaica was identified as the region which grew the finest ginger in the world. Jamaica's ginger, seen among the finest in the world, fetches up to US$8,000 per ton, according to Sylburn Thomas, general manager in the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries export department. He explained that there is a 170-ton market for Jamaican ginger, but the island only managed to export 15 tons last year. (http://jamaica- gleaner.com/gleaner/20111202/business/business1.html) Biscuit wrapper from Australia http://www.jamaicagingercake.com/ 1 http://www.jamaicagingercake.com/about-us About McVities The story of McVitie's, the company behind Jamaica Ginger Cake, begins not on a tropical isle as you might expect, but in the somewhat less exotic surroundings of an Edinburgh basement nearly two hundred years ago. It was here in 1830 that Robert McVitie and his father opened a bakery to serve the local community. Their mouthwatering recipes and blooming good prices soon had customers queuing round the block. http://www.jamaicagingercake.com/our-story The Ginger Secret You can count on one hand the people who know the recipe for McVitie's Jamaica Ginger Cake. The exact formula has been passed down from one generation of baker to another with only the longest standing members of the team let in on this closely guarded secret! Whilst the recipe is shrouded in mystery, what everyone knows for sure is that after 50 years of baking, it's still the nation's favourite ginger cake! Christopher Reed, CEO of REED's.

  • The History of Railroads/Ways in Jamaica
    The History of Railroads/ways in Jamaica Engine 54 on its last run. Diesel electronic locomotive The flood of 1886 Gregory Park Railway Station Up to the early 1840’s there were no railways in Jamaica as the many mountains made the laying of the rails a difficult job. The Jamaican Government also did not have sufficient funds for this venture. Two English brothers, William and David Smith, asked the Government to allow them to build the railway and this was to become the first railway in the British West Indies. They began building the railway in 1844 on a standard gauge line (i.e. 4’8 ½” between the inner rails), across the Liguanea Plains, from Kingston to Spanish Town. The survey plans and estimates for the line were prepared by James Anderson, a civil engineer of Edinburgh. The cost of the original undertaking, including buildings and rolling stock, was £222, 250. By late 1845 the railway was completed and was subsequently opened on November 21, 1845 by the Governor, Lord Elgin. Invited were, His Excellency the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, several heads of departments, civil and military personnel, the honourable members of the Council and Assembly, and a large number of wealthy and influential members of the community. The railway was 14 miles long and ran from Kingston to Spanish Town. The first engine was called “Projector” and it was run on steam. The band of the first West Indies Regiment took its stand in the last third class carriages and added to the festivity of the scene. People lined the route and cheered and waved as the train went by at a slow pace.
