Witnesses need to be able to give evidence without being intimidated by the accused. I'm all in favour of video evidence and for more closed-circuit TV cameras to be placed locally in areas where people feel that they may compromise their family safety if they become witness to a crime.

Farm traps

To stem the tide of theft of animals and agricultural produce from hard-working farmers, we need to increase our chances of catching the criminals in the act. My suggestions are to set up random hidden cameras and random hidden Global Positioning System tracking devices on some of the farm animals.

I know that these can be expensive options but they would only need to be done in a random, spread-out manner. Each time a perpetrator is caught it should be highly publicised as a deterrent to other would-be thieves, making them realise that it is much harder for them to get away with it.

Keys to success

Hello, Mr Tony Williamson, I have read your column in The Gleaner about the five master keys to success (Part 2). Unfortunately, I have not seen the other articles, i.e., Part 1 on 'Desire and Vision' and the last one on 'Persistence'.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Part 2 and would very much like to see the others. I am asking you to email me those articles so that I can share them with a group of young ladies I am mentoring. Your cooperation would be appreciated.

Work on drains

With regard to a letter published in The Gleaner on May 31, 'Waiting to hear from Tufton', re the drains for Treasure Beach and Great Bay.

Dr Tufton called me to say the drain is now being worked on, along with smaller drains in the area. It's a matter of communication. I did not know that work was going on. I, therefore, apologise.
