 Jamaica Gleaner - Hanover in peril - Mayor, officials outraged by state of fire department - Monday | January ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
LUCEA'S MAYOR Lester Crooks, the chairman of the Hanover Parish Council, has expressed outrage at the state of the Hanover fire department, which has been without the services of a fire truck for almost three weeks and has left the 177-square mile parish in peril.
Superintendent Morine Thomp-son of the Hanover Fire Depart-ment, who was called upon to give an update on the situation, confirmed that the parish was totally without fire protection coverage.
As a result, she said, she had mobilised her fire prevention officers to go into the hills to warn farmers who are burning lands for farming to desist, as there was no fire coverage in the entire parish of Hanover.

 Hanover's Hurlock - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
We could realise a new Lucea, Hanover in a matter of months - less than six - if there is national attention, if all the relevant agencies do what they are supposed to," she told the Observer West.
Because the on-going lesson in environmental preservation and sustainability would be totally ineffective without their participation and cooperation, largely attributable to her ability to effectively communicate through exemplary behaviour, powerpoint presentations, mobile display units, workshops and more recently the production of a documentary film which will soon be released on compact disc.
Despite the strides she has made on behalf of the parish in terms of enlightening residents to available funding opportunities, Hurlock is saddened by the government's attitude to the parish she has come to love so much.

The pattern of that particular journey was so often repeated, my father talking with an easy familiarity about the places we passed by on the roads, all the while unwinding an intimate knowledge of the parish and of the island in which he was born and grew up and which he clearly loved.
Following this, the Jamaica born children were packed off to Scotland ‘to be boarded, educated and clothed…according to the most easy and reasonable rate (Note22) by their uncle William, John's younger brother; infant George, however, was either overlooked in accounts, died on the voyage or remained with his father in Jamaica.
John was back in Hanover seven years later, to put up in partnership with Alexander Smart a merchant in Montego Bay, where Smart and Dickson supplied "a large and general assortment of Dry Goods" (Note50) from London until John, for reasons unknown, temporarily left for Britain in early 1792.
