Irie FM In Major Dispute With Former Veteran Employee

Hon. Pearnel Charles JR

Irie FM is in a major dispute with Ms Beverly Davis, a former veteran employee of the company. This dispute has been going on for many years with no end in sight. The matter has to do with Ms Davis having to leave the company due to an environmental hazard at the Irie FM office, which she claimed affected her health severely. She had to see the company doctor at the time. Miss Davis would be entitled to pay relating to having to leave the job, damages for the effect on her health and also other employment benefits.

The Minister of Labour and Social Security's intervention was sought, and the matter is now being dealt with by senior officers at the ministry.

The claim runs into millions of dollars, which could put the station in further trouble if it is not settled at the level of the ministry.

Workers are reminded that they should be aware of their working environment, which could affect their health. If the work environment is affecting your health, then inform the company, see your doctor, and also report the matter to the Ministry of Labour and Social Security.

This is another case that Bark Di Trute is lending its support to.

Kathlene Reid Dies At 101

Kathlene Reid

Miss Katlene Reid, who was born in Montego Bay and lived in Denbigh, Clarendon, lived a full life. She was 101 years old when she passed on recently.

She has three children, fourteen grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.

Many would love to know the secret of her longevity, and if you asked her, she would have told you that she loves chicken and rice. Probably, if fast food were available when she was younger, then her life would have ended earlier.

At 101 years old, she saw Jamaica going through quite a bit, including the experience of World War II, Jamaica becoming independent, and living in an era when pickney had to have manners.

Grandma, you did well, and I know that your family and friends will have a beautiful send-off party for you.

Menopause and Andropause Policy Being Developed

JIS Press Release, May 12, 2026

The Honourable, Dr Christopher Tufton

The Ministry of Health and Wellness is developing a national menopause and andropause policy to address the impacts of the age-related changes, which affect approximately 400,000 Jamaicans.

Minister of Health and Wellness, Dr. the Hon.  Christopher Tufton,  said that the draft is nearly complete, following stakeholder consultations, and is expected to be submitted to Cabinet this month before being sent to the Chief Parliamentary Counsel. 

He was making his contribution to the 2026/27 Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives on Tuesday (May 12).

Dr. Tufton said that menopause and andropause are being given major focus this year because the conditions impact on the health and well-being of thousands of Jamaicans.

He noted that menopause typically affects women in their 40s and 50s, with approximately 240,000 Jamaican women falling within that age group. 

 Symptoms such as hot flashes, fatigue, mood instability and vaginal dryness can significantly affect quality of life and productivity, he pointed out.

“We have been silent on this issue and these are our women… in the very important productive years of their lives. These are our mothers, our aunts, our sisters. The time has come for us to right-size our health system to respond to this as a problem to overcome the challenges that these women face,” the Health Minister said.

Turning to andropause, he noted that the age-related testosterone decline generally affects men between ages 51 and 60. 

He said that approximately 145,000 Jamaican men fall within that age cohort and may experience symptoms including reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, depression and loss of muscle mass.

The Minister noted that the condition is often casually referred to as a “midlife crisis” but noted that it should be treated as a legitimate health issue requiring greater awareness and medical support. 

He said that international research has shown that countries with formal menopause strategies achieve more consistent care and improved access to services for affected persons.

The Minister also announced plans for a national education and health promotion programme, along with training initiatives to ensure menopause and andropause are included in health professional curricula. 

Additionally, a consultant will be engaged to work with professional groups to help normalise discussions surrounding the conditions, including conversations on clinical applications and medication. 

Dr. Tufton disclosed that work is already under way through the efforts of Professor of Public Health and Ageing, University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona, Dr. Denise Eldemire-Shearer, and an Aging Committee appointed by the Ministry. 

Editor's Note

I continue to state that one should not put any designation before a national title. Dr Tufton should therefore be addressed as the Honorable, Dr. Christopher Tufton. How can one put a university degree before a national title?

Jamerica Coming?

Contributed

Canada oily 51st state, or purchasing it has been rejected. Venezuela's oil acquisition is on its way. Iran's oil nation acquisition is another with the Ayatollah's 51st state potential rejected with war by the Iranians.

America should come and buy Jamaica. He doesn't hear seh we find oil and have golf course places.

Right now, PM Holness and the leader of the opposition, Golding, need to advise Rubio and Trump that Jamaicans would welcome being purchased. We would get USA $7000 per head for starters.

Distributed on a councillor division basis by a United Nations body.

"NO PROBLEM NO MORE LONG LINES TO OBTAIN VISAS" in Liguanea, Kingston 6, Jamaica. Other benefits include natural access to a 340 + Jamaica 3 million market = Greater Prosperity, little or no crime or murder.

No more need for JLP and PNP NARRA, MACE PARLIMENTOMIME, Bingo. Any Party that pushes that USA buyout Independence line wins the next election, or a new party named JAMAICA AMERICA PARTY (JAP). 

No more squatting for those 1.5 million descendants of slaves. Per capita GDP moves immediately from USD7,000 to at least USD50,000.

Now with nuclear weapons, the most powerful navy and air power in the world. No one will test us except Iran of course but once they hear about this deal, all war will stop as they play Bob Marley song "One Love".

America must leave Iran alone and come and buy Jamaica and its alleged oil resources. SPICE AND KARTEL will BACK IT UP.

No more economic problems per capita GDP USD7,000 to USD50,000 and a permanent visa for everyone with a Jamaican passport, eligibility has mass support already to get a USA passport.

The Gleaner and the Observer become immediately viable, so make this a front-page article.

BARKE DI TRUTE.

JAMERICA COMING?🤣🤣🤣

Warning, Warning, Warning!!!

Tilted JPSCo pole.

Please Note The Following:

1. Do not send information such as your passwords or PIN via WhatsApp. There is a bug in WhatsApp that allows your WhatsApp account to be linked to another person's account, and the linked account will get all your messages. I have had personal experience of very personal information coming to my account from another number. I contacted the person who owned the cell phone, and he nearly had a heart attack.
2. Do not click on links that you do not expect. Do not give any numbers that people ask you for, which are displayed on your phone when you click a link.
3. If you do not have antivirus software installed on your computer, then do not go to pornographic sites or sites that you are not aware of.
4. Do not do a Google search for your bank account site, for example, and then you are required to put in your full username and password. You could be giving your banking information to a site that mimics your bank's site.
5. Install antivirus software on your computer and your phone. You will need to pay an annual fee to install the programme.
6. Do not lend your cell to anyone. Not even your spouse or your parents. Let them get their own or buy one for them.
7. Make sure there is a password on your phone and also on your WhatsApp account.
8. Do not give your credit or debit card to anyone.
9. Do not allow persons to stand close to you at the supermarket cashier. They have machines that can read your credit or debit card information and grab it from your card. They can even photograph your credit card number using miniature cameras.
10. Do not engage in conversation with any stranger in a secluded area. Look out for those who say they are preaching the word of the Lord. I understand that they have chemicals that they can spray into your face. The spray will knock you out, and then they will relieve you of your possessions.
11. Only carry your vehicles to reputable garages to be fixed. Those who purchase a second-hand car have to be careful. The garage attendants can attach a tracker very discreetly and then track your car and steal it.
12. When there is a shootout, as happened in Mandeville Square recently, do not panic and start running all over the place. You cannot outrun a bullet. Take cover and stay low. Can you imagine the officer seeing you running and mistaking you for the criminal? The criminals should be the only ones running, with the police running after them.
13. Stay far from a JPSCo pole that seems as if it will fall.

I am sure that I left out some things, so please remind me by adding a comment or sending a WhatsApp message to (876) 816-5261. Bark Di Trute is here to help each of us. Please discuss these matters with members of your family and friends. It could save their lives.

Watch the video below and learn about the wrong things that bystanders do when there is a shootout between gunmen and police officers.
