EDITORIAL - Acknowledging an error
In international affairs, even between countries as physically close and with a shared history as The Cayman Islands and Jamaica, an outright admission of error can be very hard to come by. It is with a sense of relief, then, not victory, that we note the Cayman government has conceded to an error that led to the birth of Lateisha Julene Clarke on a flight from Cayman to Jamaica on October 2, 2007.
It's a brand new world
When the Press Association of Jamaica asked me last week to say when I started working in the news media, it was only then I realised that this was the profession in which I have been involved my entire adult life. (Neita)
Gas pump rascals
The Editor, Sir: I went to a service station in Portmore recently and ordered $1,000 worth of petrol (87) for my Suzuki Swift. I watched the attendant punch the number in and then opened my bag for the money. It took less than 10 seconds to take the money out and when I looked up I saw that the figure punched in was still on the screen (the pump hadn't started running).
Issue: Priorities for new Commish
The Editor, Sir: I must commend the Police Service Commission for selecting an outsider to be the next police commissioner. One of the first priorities of this commissioner must be to appoint a board to investigate those cops who are presumed to be corrupt and who prey on innocent people for the betterment of their families and friends.
