Dear Editor, Al Creighton’s poison pen, which is usually used to advance the interests of his elitist friends and viciously demolish the achievements of brilliant talent, has reached a new low in his absolutely ferocious denigration of Ron Morrison’s ‘Mori J’von Comedy Jam’ and Maria Edwards-Benschop’s  ‘Nothing to Laugh About.’

Dear Editor, I would like to air my two bits on the ongoing feud that has been engulfing our cricket lately.

Dear Editor, Further to your subject article published in your daily of March 9, captioned ‘Union wins key battle at RUSAL –derecognition denied’, please be informed that it was 131 members of the bargaining unit (employees of Bauxite Company Guyana Inc and members of the Guyana Bauxite and General Workers Union (GB&GWU)), who petitioned the Trade Union Recognition and Certification Board in December 2009 for the derecognition of GB&GWU.

Dear Editor, Of late, every so often I would hear some form of outlandish or convoluted political discussion, and depending on the topic I would thereafter make an effort to revisit sections of works by various distinguished writers who have in some way addressed the topic in question, in search of a semblance of sound and healthy understanding.

Dear Editor, The Guyana Football Federation President, Mr Colin Klass will be elected unopposed for another four-year term when the GFF convenes its Annual General Meeting this month, following the closure of nominations on Saturday, March 19 at the GFF Secretariat.

Dear Editor, If your editorial ‘Age of opportunity’ of March 26, had been written on Friday I might have concluded that it was an April Fools Day hoax, but what I feared for our educational system has arrived, and it is indeed a serious issue.

Dear Editor, Over the years, the government has made massive investments in the agricultural sector.

Dear Editor, The passing by the National Assembly on Thursday, March 10, 2011 of the Title to Land (Prescription and Limitation) (Amendment) Bill 2011 is an opportune time for me to ventilate some very relevant concerns I avoid at this time the controversial aspect of the Act which will have the effect of protecting from acquisition by prescription all land owned by the State, or its wholly-owned agencies.
