Herbert Morrison will be hosting the meet for the second year after it shifted from Irwin High. Meet director Claude Grant told Jamaica Observer West on Wednesday that a good turnout of schools and clubs is expected.

Grant said that so far one Kingston-based school, Excelsior High, has applied to participate in the events and that many more were expected.

Grant said the top western schools had also shown interest, including Munro College, St Elizabeth Technical, Herbert Morrison, Green Island, Cornwall College, Mt Alvernia High, Spot Valley and Rusea’s High.

The events on the schedule are 100m, 400m and 800m for all classes for boys and girls, as well as long jump, high jump and shot put in the field events.

Actress and comedian Jan Hooks, famous for her five years on “Saturday Night Live,” died on Thursday at 57, the New York Times reports.

Among the people she impersonated were Donald Trump’s wife, Ivana, the TV evangelist Tammy Faye Bakker, and was the first cast member to portray Hillary Clinton.

After leaving S.N.L in 1991, she played Carlene Dobber on “Designing Women and made appearances in “3rd Rock from the Sun” and “30 Rock.”

High School Link-Up slated for saturday

Horace Fisher, Star Writer

The seventh edition of Jamaica’s leg of High School Link-Up will blast-off this Saturday at the old police station in May Pen, Clarendon, with a $50,000 cash prize for the best high school dancer or dance group.

The Temperature Entertainment-produced international party series, which has already ‘shell-dung’ Toronto, London, and Miami, is one of the most anticipated summer parties in central Jamaica, with hordes of overseas patrons confirmed to pass through.

Temperature Entertainment’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), David Anderson, said the success of High School Link-Up has been exported overseas, and the 2014 Jamaican leg is set to be the biggest ever, with a large number of foreign interests logging on to High School Link-Up’s social media sites.

“High School Link-Up is one of Jamaica’s most anticipated party right now and has been replicated successfully in London, Toronto, and Miami,” declared the temperature entertainment CEO.

“Overseas, fans are riding the party Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook accounts like crazy with likes and favourable comments, so it a go slap weh.”

Anderson said reassuringly that patrons at the party dubbed ‘The Battle Zone’ could look forward to partying in a secure, safe environment, with lots of giveaways, while being entertained by some of the best party sound in the business.

The line-up for this year musical juggling includes Obsession Sound, Gold Teeth, Niney Badness, Slaughter House, Little Riche, and DJ Biggs.

“High School Link-Up is an opportunity for past students to link up and have good, clean, fun with others who they went to school with and also to walk away with $50,000,” Anderson said.

OHMG retro party set for Waterhouse Saturday

Come this Saturday, fast-rising music group OHMG will play host to its first annual ’80s and ’90s party called Retro Flex.

The event, dubbed the ‘Sexy edition’, will take place at Balmagie playfield, which is on West Bay Farm road in Waterhouse, St Andrew.

Being organised by the Black Mattic-led Official Hitz Music Group, Retro Flex will feature the likes of ‘Oldies’ veteran Alanzo Hawk, DJ Shampoo, and ZIP FM’s ZJ Ice.

Twenty per cent of the event’s profit will go towards the Rush Worth Basic School for infrastructural development. Claude Buchanan, the event’s main organiser, said the party will give its patrons a rather unique experience as they seek to provide an element of surprise.

Ladies will enjoy a 2-4-1 offering until 11 p.m., after which they are required to pay $500 along with male patrons.

“This won’t be the normal retro party. We have plenty of surprises for the patrons and we are very confident that they will leave fully satisfied,” he said.

OHMG is based in New York and is founded and operated by Black Mattic, real name Kenich Lee. In the recent past, a local arm of the group was created.

OHMG Jamaica, also the organiser of the increasingly popular Biker Sundays’, also held in Waterhouse.

Buchanan is hoping to attract as many people for the retro party, which will kick-start a series of events being planned. The event is also being sponsored by Sun City Radio.
