Dear Editor,
Hugs and cheers to Clovis. His editorial cartoon of May 7 is on the money. I love it! I love it! Clovis, you have made my day. I can see myself in the 1970 crowd of your cartoon. The foundation was laid down long ago to solve the food crisis that we are now facing. But no one took heed.

Get back to the soil, Jamaicans!
Sunday, May 04, 2008 Dear Editor
I say to all Jamaicans, hear the agriculture minister's call (Mr Christopher Tufton): Get back to the soil and grow some foodstuff!
In Canada, we plant our backyards as if we are crazy for the four months of warmth that we receive.
