MATERNAL INSTINCT jolted Joan Watson into realising that something was wrong when her 17-year-old daughter Chrisey-Ann Davis had not returned from her room some time after eating a meal on Monday evening.
“I never know my child was planning to kill herself,” Watson said tearfully as she sat under a tree looking at a graduation picture of Chrisey-Ann, from New Providence Primary, and a Valentine’s Day card signed by her daughter.
The family traced Chrisey-Ann’s pain to a freak accident on Easter Sunday when she fell from a mango tree and sustained serious injuries to her back.
Watson told our news team that Chrisey-Ann went back inside her room and started to scribble something on paper but remains baffled where the sheet is now or what was written.
Around 6:30, Watson became suspicious of her daughter’s absence and went to Chrisey-Ann’s room.
By DAVID CRARY AP National Writer Among transgender-rights activists, there's a powerful mix of hope and fear heading toward the Nov. 3 election. They're yearning for President Donald Trump's defeat but dreading the possibility that his administration might win four more years and continue targeting them with hostile policies. 'The stakes are extremely high,' said Shannon Minter, a transgender attorney with the National Center for Lesbian Rights. 'It seems clear that President Trump intends to use the full power of the presidency and the executive branch to inflict maximum damage on the transgender community.' Among the administration's moves that have […]

A number of people might have had unkind things to say when Laurence Johnson started barbering at 20 years old, but the deaf man obviously couldn't hear his critics.
Now nearly 25 years later, Johnson is revered as the most sought after barber in the cool rural community of Cascade, St Ann, and one of the most skilled in Christiana, Manchester, where he practises on weekdays.
“When I was growing, from about age 14, I used to sit and watch the barber cut people's hair, so I watched and learned,” Johnson, who was born deaf, told the Jamaica Observer in an interview via text message.
Johnson said his favourite thing about being a barber is seeing the smiles on his customers' faces when they get out of his chair and look in the mirror.
Johnson attended St Christopher's School for the Deaf in Brown's Town, St Ann, until he was 12 years old, then moved to St Andrew where he attended Lister Mair/Gilby High School for the Deaf in Papine.
