Jamaica Gleaner Commentary
published: Friday | August 8, 2003

Police professionalism
TOO MANY incidents involving the police smack of carelessness and lack of training as, for example, the case of a policeman who accidentally shot dead a 10-year-old girl while chasing a man he was trying to arrest for smoking a spliff.

The disappointing sugar crop
THOSE OF us who are still strong believers in the viability of the sugar industry were not deterred in our support when last year the crop recorded its lowest production in 50 years. - Hugh Martin


Move over, 'Stinking Toe'
I'M HERE to report that the much revered and immortalised Jamaican stinking toe plant, has met its botanic challenge in the area of odour infestation. - Desmond Henry
