Beijing welcomes you to the Olympics
Also known as Monkey Island, Pellew Island is one of Jamaica’s small, near-shore islands. Located just off the San San coast near Port Antonio, Pellew Island is an important part of Jamaica’s natural heritage and an iconic image of our northeastern coast. Originally part of Cold Harbour Estates, it was purchased in 1953 by Baron Heinrich Thyssen as a Valentine’s gift for his fiancée, and has been privately owned ever since. The current owner plans to construct four villas on the island. This is likely to result in significant environmental impact, both during the construction phase and afterwards, as well as the loss of access to the beach... click on "Save Monkey Island" in the News section.

Jamaica has produced some extremely wealthy expatriates with a Toronto connection, including AIC Ltd.'s Michael Lee-Chin and Ray Chang of C.I. Fund Management Inc., who both reside in the GTA. Chang is the chancellor of Ryerson University and donated $5 million to the institution, and Lee Chin made a $30 million donation to the Royal Ontario Museum. But while both men made the bulk of their fortune in Canada, Gordon "Butch" Stewart is Jamaica's first homegrown would-be billionaire... click on "Butch Stewart" in the News section.
Sailing from Santa Cruz, in the eastern Solomons, it took us five days to reach Anuta.
It was one of the most tedious journeys I have made, the continuous pitching of our small yacht making it impossible to either read or write.
So it was with some relief when the speck of land that was Anuta finally appeared on the horizon... click on "Anuta" in the News section.

Since the Soviet fall, Russian generals, intelligence chiefs and foreign policy personnel have often waxed philosophic about the inevitability of a global alliance to hem in U.S. power -- often using the rhetoric of a "multipolar world." Central in all of these plans has been not only the implied leadership of Russia, but the implied presence of China. At first glance, the two seem natural partners. China has a booming manufacturing economy, while Russia boasts growing exports of raw materials. But a closer look at the geography of the two paints a very different picture, while the history of the two tells an extraordinarily different story. If anything, it is no small miracle that the two have never found themselves facing each other in a brutal war ... click on "China Russia" in the News section.
The U.S. media is loudly protesting the censorship of their reporters at the Olympics in Beijing. Betraying its promise to the International Olympic Committee (IOC), China has blocked reporters' access to "sensitive" websites, including those that mention human rights violations, the suppression of the Falun Gong religious group, the Tiananman Square uprising and other similar topics the Chinese government would like to imagine never happened... click on "Censorship" in the News section.

While the world is still in the process of trying to cope with the late 2004 south-east Asia Tsunami, that was followed in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina in the southeastern United States, and the mud-slide in Central America that wiped out entire villages, we are yet again in 2008, witnessing more natural disasters on a massive scale, affecting millions of people, with a cyclone in Myanmar (formerly Burma), and earthquake in Sechuan, China

I attended the presentation at Easton's invitation. His delivery was fantastic, no less. Of course, with his broadcasting and theatrical background, Easton was comfortable and natural. I found that he captured perfectly his "ole man’s" way of speaking imperfect English that was unique among his father's peers, who were Chinese immigrants like himself - not to mention the right intonation for those few Chinese words Easton used during his narrative. His public speaking skills, in adding some humour, kept interest alive in the subject of his lecture to a Jamaican audience of substantially African ancestry, most of whom appeared not to have known much about the history of the Chinese in Jamaica...click on "Emancipation" in the Articles section.
It was in early 2007 that Mavis (Chang) Wong- class of 1957 - had a vision of bringing together classmates from the years 1950 through 1959 for a grand reunion to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their graduations from their beloved Alpha Academy. Leave it to Mavis to think BIG!... click on "Alpha 1950" in the Articles section.

Now, a dedicated team, led by Robert Lee, has been working quietly and tirelessly to restore the dilapidated Chinese Cemetery ... click on "Chinese Cemetery" in the Articles section.
No one was ever meant to cry or suffer alone. Yet there are many among us who will go for years suffering in silence rather than ask for help we need so badly.
