{{Ms. James is upset with the disregard she has been shown by the Jamaican government, and the indifference and hostility she has encountered from her own people.

"Some people have even cursed me, and point at me and say, 'See the murderer mother there'," she said.

"Right now, I think I need counselling. I know I am de-pressed. I cannot cry for Lee, even though I want to, the only time I cry is when I pray. All I feel is anger, that's why you saw me on the TV behaving like that; it was just the rage I felt, this is how I am dealing with the situation," she said.}}

Mobile reserve pays $10-m water bill

Observer Reporter
Saturday, December 20, 2003

The police force's Mobile Reserve Division was without water for about two hours yesterday as the National Water Commission disconnected its supply because of an outstanding bill of almost $10 million.

"The men came and disconnected the water. and after quick intervention by the Ministry of National Security it was reconnected two hours later," Assistant Commissioner Arthur
"Stitch" Martin told the Observer, adding that there were no adverse effects from the lock-off.

Donovan Nelson, a security ministry spokesman, told the Observer that they had made payment arrangements via the Ministry of Finance and Planning.

"We will be consistent until the amount is paid off," he said.
Efforts to ascertain if other police divisions or stations had outstanding bills at the NWC were unsuccessful. But according to Charles Buchanan, the utility company's public relations manager, it is possible.

"It would not be unusual for a number of these type of facilities to owe us money. We would not be surprised," he said.
