Clifton ‘Clif-Twang’ Brown, the man who rose to popularity with the catchy slang ‘Nobody Canna Cross It’, is in police lock-up after appearing in court for the lack of child maintenance.
A reliable source close to the case has told THE STAR that Brown, who has been back and forth in the Family Court, was taken into custody in December.
He has been granted $80,000 bail, however, he has not taken up the offer.
Brown is to appear in the Family Court on Thursday.
In August 12, 2011, THE STAR reported that Brown was hauled before the courts by the mother of his children, his wife, for lack of child maintenance.
He was arrested and brought to the Family Court in 2011, after a summons was served on him by the Mavis Bank police.
The article stated that Brown had denied the complainant’s allegations in court, and had stated that he had proof that he was paying regular child maintenance.
He was to take the proof of his regular payments to court. Brown became an overnight celebrity following the release of the immensely popular song Nobody Canna Cross It.
The remix was done by DJ Powa after Brown appeared on a newscast where he called on authorities to rebuild the bridge in his Mavis Bank community.
The song also was posted on American news station CBS’ website.
Brown’s cut-up received more than 1.6 million views on YouTube, and he later signed an endorsement deal with telecommunications giant LIME.
The Internet sensation then had said that he was not interested in becoming a dancehall artiste, as his wish was to pursue music in the gospel arena because he is a devoted Christian.

On Tuesday January 22, 2013, Jamaica lost another courageous warrior, Dr. Heather Little-White. She was ailing for sometime and died in the hospital. For those of us who remembered Jamaican television in the 1980s and 1990s, there were local shows such as Titus in Town, Oliver at Large, Lime Tree Lane and Hill & Gully Ride. And there was Grace Kitchen’s Creative Cooking with Dr. Heather Little-White. The younger ons who still appreciate local TV willl be familiar with Maizie, but before her there was Heather. Then, Creative Cooking was a must watch for those who experimented in the kitchen and who wanted to score those extra points in our Food and Nutrition classes. Dr. Little-White made the whole process of food preparation adventurous and dared us to push the limit with the traditional Jamaican diet. Her mixing, baking, swirling, and presentation were a must see for many. She provided yet another reason why we loved local programming, as cooking was something we could relate to, it being one door away. She taught us that there was no shame in men and women mastering the home kitchen. I didnt know her personally, but she was like family, in a time when TV was wholesomely entertaining and inclined towards highlighting our culture and tradition. This was a Christian woman, with her stove and kitchen utensils, who dominated a prime time spot on TV. Unfortunately, there were some low moments. We cringed when in 1999 heartless gunmen, during an attempted robbery, shot and paralysed our beloved celebrity. Several years later, her house was broken into robbed. To make matters worst, the crime monster robbed her in 2010 when she was on her way from the bank. This was the touching quote from the newspaper then, “Today, I feel like a truck ran over me. I now contemplate my next move as I think I have had more than enough,” she says, the words inadequate to mask the pain and the tears that so severely test the resolve of this steely rural daughter of Somerton, St James.” I cried when I read that article. Her pain was my pain, she was the nation’s aunt, mother, the kind neighbour we all came to love and adore because of TV. But, with the strength of God, her faith remained strong.

Dr Little-White, though restricted to a wheelchair, was not its prisoner. This acclaimed nutritionist and businesswoman went on to become a steady contributor to the Gleaner newspaper. At the same time, she easily slipped into the role of championing the cause of the disabled. Proper access to businesses and offices were her rallying cry and she kicked it to the front burner, along with other issues as to how we treat the vulnerable amongst us. During her lifetime, she achieved alot. Among other things, she was a Lecturer at UTECH, an active member of several National Boards and a Consultant. In 2001 was awarded a National Honour, the Order of Distinction (Officer Class). In an article written on her, it ends as follows :- “I don’t see myself as any less than other human beings,” she says. She grows even more hopeful when she notes that she is gaining strength in her legs, feeling movement in her feet and is able to tap her toes.Then she says with unmistakable conviction: “I still have my faith and I will walk again!” Dr. Heather Little-White has now marched on to a greater glory.

Manchester Man With Malaria Dies

A man who was being treated for malaria in Manchester has died.

Alfons Klem, a German who resided in Mandeville, Manchester had been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at the Mandeville Regional Hospital for some time before he was transferred to the University Hospital of the West Indies.

Klem who was in his 50s reportedly went on a trip to a country in Africa and had received the necessary vaccine before leaving but had stayed longer than expected.

On his return to Jamaica, he fell ill and went to the Mandeville Regional Hospital where he was diagnosed for malaria and was treated.

Chief Medical Officer Dr Michael Combs had reported that the matter was one of two cases imported last December.

He had also reported that the patient was successfully treated but was still in hospital for other complications.

The death has sparked concern among Mandeville residents.

A close family member of deceased who asked to remain anonymous told The Gleaner that the cause of death was believed to be complications from malaria.

Another Case Of Malaria?

Health officials are this evening tight-lipped on reports that a second imported case of malaria has been detected.

The Gleaner/Power 106 News Centre understands that the infected person, a male, had also traveled to a country in Africa similar to the person in St Ann whose case was highlighted by The Gleaner last week. The Manchester patient is being treated at the Mandeville Regional Hospital, where he is said to be in intensive care.

Sources say although the patient received the necessary vaccines before traveling to Africa, he stayed in the region longer than scheduled. When contacted, health officials declined to comment on the case.

Chief medical officer, Dr Michael Coombs said he was not in a position to speak about the matter and suggested that we contact the health ministry’s public relations personnel on Monday.

Director of emergency, disaster management and special services in the health ministry, Dr Marion Bullock-Ducasse, also declined to comment saying she was not at work and was therefore not up-to-date with what was happening.

Last week, in a release from the ministry, Dr Coombs assured the public that there was no malaria outbreak and therefore no reason for Jamaicans to panic. He said the country had not had locally transmitted cases of malaria since 2009. There were five imported cases in 2012 and one since the start of the year.

Malaria, caused by the malaria parasite, is spread when the Anopheles mosquito bites an infected person and then bites others. It cannot be transmitted from person to person. Symptoms include fever, chills, headache, muscle aches and fatigue. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea are also possible.
