A turnaround in Linden

TIMES INT'L

Dear Editor,
Ambivalence still dominates me as I think of Linden. I went there a few years ago to do research in Guyanese ‘Creolese’ English and I discovered that this ‘Creolese’ thing is not an Indian exclusive. My database got filled very quickly with inputs from the Afro-Guyanese there. It convinced me that things like being biased and racial are all about how people are exposed and influenced.
The recent sad uprising in Linden is still a painful memory. The repair work is taking some time and doing, but I feel so good, knowing that those left, after they were used for selfish political purposes to fend for themselves, are not giving up. They have seemingly turned a corner and now the Linden Town Council is spearheading repair works in some aspects.
There seems to be a lot of cooperation from the people but I am not seeing encouragement from many notable persons. My prayer is that the people of Linden will take pride in their work and strive to maintain their town. They must not allow anyone to come and ‘bust it up’ again. If they have issues, these can be addressed, using the available channels in decency and order.
Yours respectfully,
Trevian Marks
