The dead man is Riley Armstrong, a 44-year-old labourer of Four West in Greater Portmore. Reports are that about 4:40 p.m. a fire truck was rushing to the scene of a fire in Braeton when, on reaching an intersection with sirens blaring, a motorist tried to beat the traffic light and was hit by a truck, causing the car to hit three other vehicles, one of which crashed under the truck. 3) ======================================================== From: Silton Townsend To: neighbourtoo@yahoo.com Date: Sunday, January 07, 2007 05:11PM Subject: SILTON TOWNSEND - HELLO NEIGHBOUR Hello neighbour, c/o LOVE 101 FM, 12 Carlton Crescent, Kingston 10, Jamaica WI; neighbourtoo@yahoo.com; Telephone: 876- 988-9596-7 or 876-9063167 “HELLO NEIGHBOUR” – Spotlighting solutions AN OPPORTUNITY TO HELP!! “HELLO NEIGHBOUR” is a motivational, discussion programme aired on LOVE 101 FM every Wednesday from 10:30 a.m. to 11:00a.m. On the internet: love101.org Its primary purpose is to inspire Jamaicans to become more helpful to one another, more solutions-oriented and more willing to see problems as opportunities for success rather than recipes for failure. Discussions encourage the sharpening of coping skills, personal growth, better human relations, sharing with one another and community spirit, which foster hope, confidence and trust in God and one another. “HELLO NEIGHBOUR” seeks to connect people with people, with a view to engender kindness and neighbourliness throughout the length and breadth of Jamaica. It does not subscribe to the notion of “the haves and have nots” but to the idea that everyone has something that can be shared with someone else, thus making that other life a little richer. It is hosted weekly by Silton Townsend, Christian Motivator, Actor, Team Builder, Optimist, Realist and Visionary. The half an hour stint is interspersed with positive thoughts, inspirational readings, uplifting comments and stimulating music. Participants with special challenges are not only provided with verbal advice from their “neighbours”, through the Programme, but with practical, workable, solutions, especially, from those who may have gone through similar experiences and are willing to help others. RESULTS TO DATE (a) hundreds of persons have received assistance from their “neighbours”, through the Programme, in the form of: prayers, counselling, visits, clothing, food items, medication, lunch money and text books (for school children), sewing machines, beds, bed linens, refrigerators, gas stoves etc. (b) barriers are being broken down as strangers, by giving a helping hand to another, become friends ( (c) drop off points are being established around the island (d) a distribution/call centre is in the making and (e) Wednesdays have been established as Neighbour Day by the Programme – a time when people are asked to make a special effort at reaching out to one another.

Cheques may be made payable to: HELLO NEIGHBOUR or deposits made to HELLO NEIGHBOUR’S National Commercial Bank account # 351-044-276 We encourage everyone to listen to HELLO NEIGHBOUR on LOVE 101 FM (www.love101.org) every Wednesday morning from 10:30 to 11:00 and to participate. Remember: love thy neighbour as thyself…you will always have 4) ======================================================== Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2007 04:23:27 -0500 From: "Stacey Holmes" To: webmaster@portmore.org Subject: A trip to Jamaica Hi I've heard great things of your resort. I' planning a trip to Jamaica On March 25th- April 10th I'm wondering if you could quote me a price in $Canadian dollars. I would be looking at a standard room with two beds nothing too fancy just as long as it quite comfortable and of course clean. If you can get back to me ASAP I would gladly appreciate it. Thanx.
