Jamaica Gleaner Commentary published: Tuesday | August 31, 2004
That's garbage !
FOR SEVERAL days last week sections of the Corporate Area were covered in a pall of smoke coming from the Riverton landfill. To further add to the distress from garbage...
FOR MOST of the 17 days of the recently concluded Olympic Games, the overwhelming majority of the Jamaican population at home, and abroad, experienced another period filled with a sense of pride.
THE ORGANISERS of the 2004 Olympics have re-written the formula for success. There were many skeptics who said Athens would not have been ready to host this greatest show on earth because construction started three years late.
A COLLECTIVE elation and pride swept over the island as the commentator shouted into the microphone, "Jamaica has won the gold!" Congratulations and adulatory commendations poured in from all across the globe. All our athletes did us proud.
