‘Police high handed,’ bus driver
Minibus driver Shane Williams voiced strong objection to what he described as the high handedness of traffic police officer, in their dealing with minibus drivers.

Minibus men are striking because of, among other reasons, the heavy handiness of the police.
This was expressed by at least one minibus driver- the Shane Williams, who plies the Campden Park route and who withdrew his services last Monday and Tuesday.
Minibus drivers are particularly put off by the manner of the police officers who move to serve $100.00 tickets on drivers because some of their passengers do not wear masks.

Appeal to the Red Cross Social Share
EDITOR: It was reported in the media (print) on Friday, February 12th, that the RED CROSS has been on a mission to reduce the spread of Dengue. That is indeed commendable and if the truth be told it reflects the sort of involvement from that well respected organization whose membership comprises men and women who have been traditionally held in high regard in our society.
The relevant piece which caught my attention in the NEWS newspaper of 12th February 2021, was captioned “LOCAL RED CROSS ON MISSION TO REDUCE SPREAD OF DENGUE” and it was contributed by Donald De Riggs. The information given was interesting and I felt urged to make contact with the office of the RED CROSS to get more information and offer some suggestions.
