Mariano Rivera and Bernie Williams had to shave. So did Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez. But now Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and the rest of the current Yankee roster will be allowed to grow “well-groomed beards” if they so choose, after the club on Friday announced a change to its longstanding grooming policy. The all-clear for beards was announced by Hal Steinbrenner, the team’s managing general partner whose father started the beard ban — and vigorously enforced it for years. “After great consideration, we will be amending our expectations to allow our players and uniformed personnel to have well-groomed beards moving forward,” Steinbrenner said in a statement on Friday. “It is the appropriate time to move beyond the familiar comfort of our former policy.” Since the 1970s, the Yankees have barred their players, as well as staff members, from having beards or long hair. George Steinbrenner, Hal Steinbrenner’s father and...

There was an increased security presence at the St Catherine Parish Court today as dancehall artiste Kiprich, whose given name is Marlon Plunkett, made his first court appearance on allegations of promoting gang violence. Kiprich was charged by the police over a song that they claim endorses gang violence and pays tribute to alleged One Order Gang leader Othniel ‘Thickman’ Lobban, who was fatally shot by police. The 45-year-old has been charged with the use of audio and audiovisual communication to promote criminal activity. In court today, it was revealed that a file from the police’s Communication Forensics and Cybercrime Division is still outstanding. Kiprich, who is out on bail, was ordered to return to court on May 20. His attorneys, Patrick Peterkin and Michael Jordon, informed the court that on that date, a decision will be made on whether to file an application to take the matter before the...

Police in action on Eastern Ave (Photo credit: RCIPS) (CNS): The police arrested two drivers over the weekend who were more than two times over the legal limit for alcohol after members of the public called 911 to report erratic and dangerous drivers on the roads in George Town. On Saturday afternoon, a call was made about a seemingly intoxicated driver travelling on Crewe Road. Police officers were sent to the area, and within a few minutes, with the help of the person who made the report, who provided more information on the description and direction of travel, they were able to locate and stop the vehicle on the Esterley Tibbetts Highway. Officers spoke to the 46-year-old man from West Bay, who showed clear signs of being intoxicated, and arrested him on suspicion of DUI. A breath test was conducted with a result of .230%.

Overview: The Trump administration has partially rescinded President Biden’s extension of Haiti’s Temporary Protected Status (TPS), moving the expiration date up by six months to August 2025. The decision has drawn sharp criticism from lawmakers and advocates, who warn that deporting Haitians amid the country’s ongoing crisis could be catastrophic. The Trump administration announced Thursday it is “partially” vacating President Joe Biden’s July 2024 notice that extended Haiti’s Temporary Protected Status (TPS) by 18 months. The amendment, issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), accelerates the deportation timeline for Haitian TPS holders by six months, setting a new expiration date of Aug. 3, 2025, instead of Feb. 3, 2026. “Biden and [DHS Secretary Alejandro] Mayorkas attempted to tie the hands of the Trump administration by extending Haiti’s Temporary Protected Status by 18 months—far longer than justified or necessary,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem...
