A fourth, caught against a concrete kerb, was all that stood between Police Constable Horace Bryan, a terrified 75-year-old woman and the raging floodwaters threatening to sweep them into the Caribbean Sea.

More men needed in classrooms Custos of Kingston Steadman Fuller wants to see more men enrolled at his alma mater, The Mico University College, and ultimately standing at the front of Jamaica’s classrooms, helping to shape the next generation. For Fuller, incoming chancellor of Mico, which is celebrating its 190th anniversary, increasing male enrolment is a major priority. He takes up the office later this month, and believes a stronger male presence in classrooms could help improve discipline in schools by providing boys with more male role models.
