West Indies vs England 2024

The West indies were thoroughly outplayed by Enggland. Most of the WI frontline batsmen had no experiemce in test cricket. England included some of their one day cricketers so why didn't we? The WI first class season is short as there are no return gamesin either the 50 over, four day or 20/20 competition.

Environmental concerns-Destroying our Forests

Environmental Concerns One Destroying our Forests I am no environmentalist, at least I’ve never gotten any training in any of the relevant disciplines. Nevertheless, I have my concerns. Years ago, maybe it could be the middle sixties I went to this forest in my village. I estimated it to be about fifteen to twenty acres in size. We dug some wild yams, ginger and things that can be put on cuts. I never went back there. A couple of years ago when I asked about the forest, I was told that it had been cut down and replaced with the cultivation of cash crops. I was appalled. How could something like this happen? I don’t know who owns the land on which it was situated. My question is, do the relevant government agencies do a mapping of our forests in order to preserve them?

THE WEEDMEN(THE MARIJUANA SMOKERS) A SHORT STORY BY AUSTIN MITCHELL

The Weedmen (The Marijuana Smokers) by Austin Mitchell Salman took another blow off the chillum pipe. Bully was smoking a long stick of weed. Delly and Mendy were the other men in the group of marijuana farmers. Both had marijuana cigarettes. They were way up in the woods of Lobban’s Ridge, about three miles north of Linstead.

Eastern Jamaican athletes deserve much more.

The 2016 Jamaica boy's and girl's athletic championship is in its final day, today, Saturday March 19,2016. Edwin Allen is leading the girl's section while Jamaica College is leading the boy's section. While it is predicted that Edwin Allen will run out easy winners of their section, Jamaica College is expected to be overtaken by Calabar and Kingston College. The latter two schools will then battle it out for championship honors. But saying that, maybe J.C has a surprise up it's sleeves and could run away with the championship. I notice quite a few winners from the eastern end of the island. I wonder if we would not have had more had we had a chance to hold Eastern Champs. I notice that this is the only part of the island without a development meet on our athletics calendar. The area has produce too many starts and deserve better treatment. Some persons are saying that schools from the area need to finish higher in the championship. I believe that every child deserv...
