Minister is right
The new Jamaica Labour Party Minister of Education has done the right thing, banning material to be distributed as learning material in any Jamaican school, promoting looseness in moral behaviour, within academic settings through textbooks, a source that extracts belief and trust from a student reading such material.
Children who mature in later life will know what it's all about and therefore there is no need for this mentally retarded habit to be taught through textbooks, as though it is normal. Homosexual, male and female, behaviour is a mental disorder and can only be treated by superior wisdom and sound principles in life of right and wrong, and not from experimentation with the young, the unaware and the vulnerable in Jamaica.

Post-partum depression
My condolences go out to the family of nurse Waldron. After such a gruesome happening, it should not be overlooked that "post-partum depression" may be the culprit for what was done. It is a call to the Government and the medical society to pay attention to what is common place among many mothers post-delivery. A tragedy has occurred and it is a call to rise and act so others may not have to go through the pain and depression nurse Waldron endured and the pain, sadness, regrets, and misunderstanding the parents and family members are left to feel.
Post-partum depression is real and it is time that attention is paid to this culprit.

Road complaint
The citizens of Epping district in Hanover are having difficulty accessing the No 31 Central road leading from the Greenland main road via Epping, Harvey River, Askenish and Eaton land settlement. The condition of the road, which has not been maintained properly over several years, has worsened since Hurricane Dean and the heavy rains that have fallen since then. Farmers who have usually supplied an estimated 5000 tons of sugar cane to the Frome factory have been unable to maintain this activity because of the condition of the road and hence are suffering hardship.
A section of the road is now blocked and cannot be used by emergency vehicles such as ambulance and fire trucks. The citizens are calling on the authorities to deal with the situation.
