Dear Sir:

We have a problem with you blasting the murder of a Caribbean minister of government on the front pages of your paper. Although we from the Caribbean know that crime is a problem in the region, we should not be exposing this to the rest of the world. No, we should not be hanging our dirty laundry in public.

I am not saying you should hide the fact that crime is taking place in the Caribbean, nut what papers like your need to do is to publish article that will help to alleviate the problem of crime, and find realistic means of counteracting this plague on the Caribbean society. Mr. Editor, for years the mainstream newspapers has been giving the Caribbean bad press. We hope you don’t join in this. I think news like this could be published, but not given so much prominence.

Dawn Sinclair,

Parkland.

Love your paper

Dear Sir:

I am writing to commend you on the quality of your newspaper. It is a breath of fresh air to actually have a paper that covers so many issues from the Caribbean as well as deal with issues affecting us Caribbean Nationals who live here.

Your recent article headlined “Blue Roof Blues” was very interesting and it got me thinking that if hurricane season is just around the bend and these people have still not recovered from Wilma of last year, how are they going to cope with the impending serious season that is being predicted?

As you can feel, the temperatures are high, rainfall is at a minimum and this is building an excellent condition for violent hurricanes. I imagine that people are starting to gear up for these hurricanes but so many are still worrying over insurance for their homes and for the city to come and check to see if the building codes are up to par.

I can only hope that whatever they are planning for South Florida this hurricane season is better than what they did last year. There is no telling how serious this one will be, and at the risk of sounding cliché, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Editor sir, keep up the good work.

Brenda Lee,
