'Way to go Merlene!'
THE EDITOR, Madam: I take great pleasure in writing to you and your readers today about our sprint queen - Merlene Ottey. The news of her innocence swept through South Florida like a hurricane out of the Caribbean.

Not a pretty picture
THE EDITOR, Madam: Isn't it bad enough that criminals are painting a pretty grim picture of Jamaica to the outside world? Now the police have joined them as well.

Ja the beautiful
THE EDITOR, Madam: I am an American who loves visiting the beautiful island of Jamaica. I have visited Jamaica over 20 times. Only once (the first time in 1987) did I and my wife stay at a hotel.

What a dump
THE EDITOR, Madam: I am breathing a sigh of relief after reading in The Sunday Gleaner, June 25, of steps being taken to finally control the unhealthy conditions which existed at the Riverton City Dump.
