Wind farms
I had to laugh about the statement that Wigton plans to develop their wind farm 'into a tourist attraction'. Do they really believe windmills are interesting for tourists? Europeans have had those windmills in their homelands for nearly 20 years, and most view them as a necessary evil disturbing the landscape.
In Jamaica, we should not believe that anything standing around will be attractive to tourists. I predict the opposite to be true: they will view a wind farm as an ugly disturbance of beautiful Jamaica. What may be a novelty to us is 'old news' to other nations.
That being said, a wind farm is a great idea to generate energy, despite the ugliness of the apparatus.

'Wanted' pics
I am wondering why pictures of these wanted men are not all over the news media. In my opinion this would meet with much more success.

No crime, no jail
I have been reading and listening to comments from ordinary persons, persons of interest and persons of influence, relative to jail time. Unfortunately, no one is talking about 'don't do crime'.
There is no reason to even think about jail time if a person is not involved in crime. Is the entire society involved in crime and are so afraid why the discussion is going one way?
My advice to my fellow brothers and sisters of this beautiful island is to stay clear of crime and you will not be thrown in jail for a long or short time. I am in total agreement with the extra time to keep suspects of crime in lock-ups to help my country. I am not a dual citizen, I have only Jamaica as my country.
