About Kate Chappell

"And all I offer here is the distilled poetry of my existence..." Claude McKay, Poet Laureate of Jamaica, 1890-1848 I have been a reporter since 1998, covering mainly business and politics. I have also capitalized on the many skills journalism requires to become an all-around communications specialist. In addition to being a professional curious person and communicator, I have a bad case of the travel bug and can't seem to stay put. Finally, I have put my skills to work as a volunteer in the community wherever I have lived. Now, follow me as I combine these compartments of my life in Kingston, Jamaica, where I am a writer, reporter, journalist and lecturer.

Oh dear. One of Jamaica’s most popular dancehall artistes, Busy Signal, is in custody today. He was apprehended at Norman Manley International Airport after disembarking a flight from the U.K. yesterday. The charges are drug-related. He was taken into custody and brought to the Gun Court, which is literally across the street from the offices of Youth Opportunities Unlimited. Nobody saw him though. Although this morning as I walked to work, I saw a police officer let loose one of the guard dogs. I hope the best outcome possible for all involved happens.
