No more rides!

Kidnapping fears

Kidnapping jitters are stalking the well-to-do all across the island. Some say that some cases are underreported and cite as an example the recent case of the kidnapping of the son of the businessman, who, instead of paying over the demanded ransom, contacted the 'area don'. As the story goes, the son was returned alive and well, and the word is the kidnappers are still missing!

Lights! Lights!

Fun time!

Friends and others are offended that they are now being sent email of pictures of the wedding, after being ignored and left off the guest list for the big day. They say the couple should stay true to their stated ideals and refrain from sending out e-pictures.
