Charlemont High School, Jamaica

Charlemont High School is a high school located in St Catherine, Jamaica. History Charlemont High School was 'conceived' by the late John Bernard Stephenson, a former Member of Parliament for North St Catherine. The idea came about as a result of concerns expressed by parents in the area whose children had to attend schools outside the area, as far as Kingston and Claremont in St Ann. The land was bought from the late Custos McGrath, with funds for the building and infrastructure coming from businesses and service clubs in North St Catherine including Alcan Jamaica Limited, the Lions Club, the United States and the Jamaica Citrus Growers Association. The St Catherine Garden Club landscaped the school grounds. The school admitted its first students on September 11, 1978. There were three first forms and three second forms accommodating a total of two hundred and forty students. There were twelve teachers including the principal, Ruel Forsythe. Forsythe left at the end of 1979 and was succeeded by Donaldson Bernard in September of the same year. In 1981 the school was expanded with funds from the Norwegian Government. This was the start of phase two of the building program when several classrooms and laboratories were built and the Home Economics center expanded. Proposal to change the school's name In November 2009 a proposal was made by the Asafa Powell Foundation to the government to rename the school to the Asafa Powell High School, after the former 100m world record holder, Asafa Powell, a past student of the institution. In a statement at the Courtleigh Hotel in Kingston on November 26, 2010, Chairman of the Asafa Powell Foundation, Delano Franklyn, stated "...and I am absolutely sure that every category of persons and groups relating to that particular school, based on our, our own investigation is in support of such a proposal." However, this announcement was met with opposition from the Charlemont High School Past Students. According to the Charlemont High School Past Students' Association Public Relations Officer Judith Wilson, the past students were not made aware of the proposal. Franklyn later admitted that neither the school board nor the principal was consulted about the name change, since it was just a recommendation. Since the announcement many persons have voiced their opposition to such a proposal on radio talk-shows and on Facebook.

Fort Augusta Adult Correctional Centre

Fort Augusta is a fortification in the parish of St Catherine, Jamaica. Originally built in the 1740s, from 1954 to 2017 the fort was used as a prison. History Fort Augusta was originally a fortress built by the English in the 1740s to provide the main defence for Kingston Harbour’s west side. It was completed in the 1750s and named Fort Augusta in honour of the mother of King George III. In 1763 lightning struck the fort and its three thousand barrels of gunpowder causing an explosion that broke windows 17 miles away and killed three hundred people. The shocks created a crater which had to be filled before reconstruction could begin. During the American Revolution the fort was occupied by the Duke of Cumberland's Regiment. The remains of the fortress now consists of massive crumbling walls of brick that have been fortified with other materials (including barbed wire). The fort was located on the north side of the harbor mouth near the main channel. Built near a mangrove swamp, the garrison had a high death rate from tropical diseases. Some time around 1850 the garrison was moved to the isolated Newcastle, Jamaica, 12 miles northeast and 3500 feet higher. In 1954, the fort was opened as a prison. In March 2017, inmates in Fort Augusta were relocated to the South Camp Rehabilitation Centre. In April 2020 it was announced that the Jamaican government intends to use Fort Augusta as a half way house and counselling center for returning deportees.

Використовує ресурс із Блек-Рівер, яка впадає до затоки Блек-Рівер-Бей (Карибське море) на південно-західному узбережжі острова. При спорудженні станції річку перекрили водозабірною спорудою, від якої по правобережжю проклали водовід довжиною 2,3 км, що на одній з ділянок проходить у тунелі завдовжки 0,1 км з перетином 1,5х2,3 метра. В гідротехнічній схемі також наявний запобіжний балансувальний резервуар баштового типу заввишки 21,4 метра з діаметром 4,6 метра.
