Greenhouse farming

Greenhouse farming should be used to create employment in inner-city communities in Kingston. This farming method requires no soil and can be set up anywhere you have access to a water supply.

Some of the produce that grows well in greenhouse farming are peppers of all types, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. The point is, we need to give people in hard-pressed communities a way to improve their lives, and at the same time rebuild the work ethic in a lot of these communities.

... Myrtha Desulme

I am hoping very much that you can help me make contact with Myrtha Desulme, a Haitian, who has been living in Jamaica with her family many years now. I have seen where she has been writing articles for The Gleaner on happenings in Haiti for the past two years or more.

I would really love to make contact with her, as when I was living in Jamaica she helped me a lot, along with other people when I was in desperate and trying situations that I can never forget, and she was always good to me.

So, I am asking you, Mr Editor, if you could pass on my address and telephone number to her. For me and my wife, it would be like the impossible dream coming true after losinge contact for the past 11 to 12 years. Telephone:- 0049-02131-741618

Bad mountain roads

I was invited to your country in May for a holiday. I enjoyed your country and all the resources that it had to offer and there are many.

I stayed in Regale up in Blue Mountains with a Mrs Beckford, by Green Hill Post Office. We drove from Buff Bay through Charles Town and the other districts of Regale, then Cascade.

I am extremely disappointed with the road conditions from Buff Bay to Regale and Cascade. It is only 15 miles from Buff Bay to Regale, but it took one and a half hours to reach. I was told by the local people in the community that the roads have been like this for years.

They have complained to the parish council but nothing has happened. I spoke to the local drivers who refused to take people up to Regale because of the severe bad road conditions.

I am also disappointed in the lack of water supply for days.
