Tribute To Principal J Lloyd Whinstanley

It’s really sad to learn about the death of my high school principal Mr J Lloyd Whinstanley. The news of his death brought back so many memories of my high school days. I am humbled and grateful to have benefited from his excellent leadership. It’s hard to believe that twenty four years have passed so quickly since my high school graduation day. I can no longer reach out to my high school teachers for guidance, but I know that they gave me all the skills I needed to survive in this world. Today the world may seem like a scary place. Economies are collapsing, loved ones are dying, leaders of countries seem to have no answers to our modern problems. But armed with the skills that were nurtured in me from my high school and the confidence that was instilled in me by my teachers, I can move forward knowing that whatever challenges I face, my teachers from Herbert Morrison Technical High School under the leadership of Principal J Lloyd Whinstanley, have equipped me fully to be successful.

Principal J Lloyd Whinstanley

 Principal J Lloyd Whinstanley...even now my mind hasn’t really processed the news fully. It’s just one of those things you never think about. I can definitely say that as a principal, Mr Whinstanley definitely made a huge impact on my life during the time I was a student at Herbert Morrison Technical High School. The quality instruction I received from the academic and extracurricular programs he developed has given me so much confidence up to this day. Thank you Mr Whinstanley for your lifelong dedication to HMTHS, it’s staff and students.

Scamming In Montego Bay

Scamming is one of the complicated effects of All-inclusives taking business away from locals of Montego Bay. Some people choose to find alternative honest ways to earn a living. Unfortunately, many choose to earn their living by  dis-honest means like scamming. As with every other crime, those who engage are caught and punished. To those people who live in Montego Bay and do not engage directly in scamming, please dont think this is not your problem. As long as you were born in Montego bay, have family who live in Montego bay, it is OUR problem. Scamming is one of the leading  ways that money is being circulated in Montego Bay's economy right now. In the Cambios, Western Unions, Banks, stores and the list goes on...We can pretend that it is not a problem and try to ignore it, but if you are living or doing business in Montego bay, you are spending some of that money gained by scamming right now. Simply because it is being circulated in the economy. Chances are your neighbour, friend, cousin, local grocery store owner, cambio owner, politician, lawyer, doctor has been affected, knows someone who is involved, or has been involved themselves. It is our problem. It is your problem as well as mine.  Lets do something about it.  Do The Right Thing.

The IMF and World Bank should Cancel Jamaica’s debt

Can Jamaica just call for debt forgiveness from the IMF and World Bank due to the coronavirus? Since Coronavirus is being used to cancel debt worldwide why not use the opportunity now? I just see the IMG and Word Bank as a bunch of vultures/ vampires that prey on poor nations. They need to forgive the loans, wipe the slate clean and start over.
