$1.2 million donated by Capelton to various charities in St. Mary
 St. Mary's favourite son, Clifton 'Capleton' Bailey, was honoured recently by the St. Mary parish council for his sterling work in the area of charity. .
Capleton hails from Islington, and who is the brother to Olympian Aileen Bailey, also donated $1.2 million to various charities that day.
He was honoured for his consistency in donating to schools, hospitals and clinics in the parish. He has also assisted the Police Youth Club Sports programme.
The breakdown of the monies donated is as follows:
The Annotto Bay Hospital - $500,000
Douglas Clarke Community Centre - $100,000
The Infirmary - $100,000
3D's .St. Mary - $50..000
Mothers in Crisis - $50,000
Police Youth Club - $50,000
Islington High School - $100,000
Axlum Football Club - $100,000 (among other donations).
Eighteen (18) persons were honoured that day, and were drawn from all areas of St. Mary's social world: teachers, Nurses, Social Workers, Firemen, Farmers and persons who did great deeds. One such person was Lancebert Brown, who was honoured for Gallantry, as he rescued a policeman who was swept away by flood rains.The St. Mary Ministers' Fraternal as well as the four Taxi Associations, were also honoured.
In his address, Mayor Bobby Montague thanked the honourees. for their contribution and urged others to evaluate themselves. He also asked them to be more aware of their history, and that they ought to contribute to community development, so that St. Mary may continue to be the best parish in Jamaica. Special guest at the function was Mr. William Saunders, Board member of the Commonwealth Local Government Forum (CLGF).

I wish dat all a di entertainers dem would think about doing something for their respective communities, instead of preaching war and crime all a di time. Lead from the front by example and it is guaranteed dat di yute dem will follow. Nuff Raspect to di Fyah Man for what he is doing. Some people think dat giving food to di poor is helping. How about giving dem di means of obtaining thier own food thru training and education. Thanks to the Fyah Man and once again, Nuff Raspect.

Steve, Aka Capleton, You know u r much more than the Fiya Man, your heart is so big and u r so generous. I am glad the world gets to see the side of you that only few knows.. I love you because of who u r, and I know our children will prosper from your giving- I do so hope others who have it can follow your trend..As for what you are doing for ST. Mary, Beenie etc can do for St. Catherine etc , our children need us, and the sad thing is all the money in the world is worth nothin to a man without a soul.. So investing back into our children the root of our own survival can only be a great thing for our nation.. I pray the Sustainer keep u safe from harm and keep u maintained as you are.. I truly love and respect you to the max,, Cant wait to come see u again!! BTW thug up ur son for me, I havent seen you all since April! KISSES
