THE EDITOR, Sir:What a great plus for Jamaica when Usain Bolt false-started in the 100m race! This enabled Yohan Blake to give Jamaica gold and also enabled a young, promising athlete to shine on the world stage.

We must invest in order to gain, and while miracles do happen, we will not always be fed manna from the heavens, however delightful the thought.
Allow me to congratulate our Jamaican athletes that have represented us at the World Championships. Of course, I must specially commend those who have medalled - Yohan Blake, Veronica Campbell-Brown, Melaine Walker, and Usain Bolt, among others, who have proven themselves as phenomenal athletes to whom we owe a great deal of our national pride.

THE EDITOR, Sir:In these days of austerity, unemployment, recession and IMF influence, parents should not be asked to buy, for their children, books they cannot afford, do not need and probably will not use.

THE EDITOR, Sir: FOLLOWING THE island's triumphs at Beijing and Berlin, it is understandable that the elation and optimism generated from those games would carry over to Daegu.The emotions generated are also understandable....
