THE EDITOR, Sir: I AM hereby appealing to motorists and their passengers who ply the Junction Road route, please to cease and desist from throwing garbage onto the roadway.
Mr. Editor, this scenic route which gives entrance to St. Mary from the Corporate Area is indeed one of the most scenic and beautiful parts of Jamaica.
To see the bamboos pirouetting in the wind, their fronds gently stroked by the cooling zephyrs which waft through the Junction Valley reminds one of Margot Fonteyn at the height of her ballet repertoire, her tutu swaying in Swan Lake, all but an imitation of these fronds.
When there is a good rainfall, Mr. Editor, Oh what a sight it is to see these rivulets of small waterfalls chortling their way down to the magnificent Wag Water River, with their silvery flashes of cascading water.
BEAUTIFUL GREENERY
Mr. Editor, the beautiful greenery of the fauna now is being highlighted by the bursts of golden colours of the poui trees preening the intensity of the Creator's palette.
Indeed on a section of road leading to Castleton, there is a carpet of golden flowers gently falling like a welcoming carpet to all our visitors and to heal our minds on our return from the melee of Kingston.
On the exit from the Junction road at Broadgate, cast your eyes upon the magnificent rock outcroppings with their foreheads of brown stones being complemented with velvety coifs of guinea grass!!
Oh what a sight for our souls.
Now, why should we introduce the juice boxes, the lunch boxes, the plastic bottles into this part of Eden?
UNTHINKING
Probably, my fellow citizens, you are not callous, but unthinking.
I pass no judgement on you, but I make this appeal to you to change your ways.
Please keep your garbage inside your vehicles until you reach home or where you can dump it safely.
There is too much nastiness, failure, brutality, ugliness in our Jamaicans today. Let us keep this part of our heritage in its pristine beauty.
To Mr. Vando Palmer, I make an appeal to you. "There is a small, exquisite waterfall between Devon Pen and Friendship Gap. It has been obscured for several years now since a section of the road was straightened. It is now covered with forestry. It would be a pleasure to have this "gem" again revealed as such beauty should not be hidden, but be shown to the public that they can drink it in with their eyes. I would consider it an honour to show you this treasure at your convenience.
I am, etc.,
BARRY D. WAHRMANN
