ST MARY, Jamaica — The police are advising motorists that there is no access to Gayle from the Lampkin Hill Bridge in St Mary as it has been badly damaged due to the constant rains, which have rendered it impassable.

The communities of Decoy, Mile Gully, Dresike, Hunts Town and Amiel Town are therefore inaccessible to vehicular traffic via that route, the police have reported.

Motorists are being advised to use alternate routes, which include Jacks River and Free Hill, while those travelling to Port Maria from Gayle will have to use the Retreat or Labrynth main road.

Grammy debate rages


From living rooms to verandahs and on social media the discussions raged, with some claiming that once there is a Marley nominated in the category, it is an automatic win. Others who were rooting for Chronixx, the current front-runner in the reggae revival movement, expressed disappointment that Marley's Stony Hill project got the nod over Chronology.

Music insider and attorney Lloyd Stanbury is rubbishing the idea that name recognition gave Marley the edge over the field.

“I listened to all the albums which were up for the Reggae Grammy this year. A lot of the people who talk don't listen to the music and they don't understand how the Grammys work... what is the process. Damian is most deserving of the win, no question about that. People have to understand that the Grammys is not a popularity contest nor is it determined by sales. It is the members of the academy — singers, songwriters, producers... persons involved in the process of making music, who vote on what they like. They decide on what they think should be named Best Reggae Album. So once you understand that, all the talk should become irrelevant,” Stanbury told the Jamaica Observer.
