It noted that the three deaths had brought the number of fatalities for the year to 86 for the year, which was a 25 per cent de- crease in comparison to last year’s igure of 115 at this time. In a release yesterday, the T&T Police Service extended condolences to the victims and also noted his concern about the incidents. Ramkissoon joined the service as a trainee ire- ighter and did his in- duction training at the Savonetta Fire Station. In expressing condo- lences to the bereaved family, the Trinidad and Tobago Fire Service (TTFS) noted that yester- day had made it exactly four years since Ram- kissoon’s enlistment. He was on his way to take up duties at the Mayaro Fire Station. The accident took place not far from his home and just opposite his mother’s home. Ramkissoon was taken to the health centre and then to Sangre Grande Hospital where he died around 12.30 am yester- day. The truck then slammed into a culvert and hit Ramkissoon, 37, who was standing on the side of the road. The truck veered into the path of the car and the vehicles collided at Bal- ata East Junction, Bristol Village. ( Skyhorse Publishing eventually released it.) Through it all, books managed to sell, keeping a steady pace at a time when film and theatre, among other industries, faced dire questions about their future. Employees themselves helped take the lead: They staged protests in support of Black Lives Matters and walked off the job at Hachette Book Group a fter the publisher announced it had acquired Woody Allen’s memoir, which Hachette soon dropped. The industry had long regarded itself as a facilitator of open expression and high ideals, but in 2020 debates over diversity and #MeT oo highlighted blind spots about race and gender and challenged the reputations of everyone from poetry publishers to Oprah Winfrey, from book critics to the late editor of Ernest Hemingway. The pandemic halted and threatened to wipe out a decade of growth for independent bookstores, forced the postponement of countless new releases and led to countless others being forgotten. To its benefit and to its dismay, publishing was drawn into the events of the moment. Three narratives ran through the book world for much of the year: an industry pressed to acknowledge that the status quo was unacceptable, an industry offering comfort and enlightenment during traumatic times, and an industry ever more consolidated around the power of Penguin Random House and Amazon. “A lot of what has happened this year - if it were a novel, I would say that it had a little too much plot,” said Simon & Schuster CEO Jonathan Karp. “But, there are still people doing that.”īook publishing in 2020 was a story of how much an industry can change and how much it can, or wants to, remain the same. “It just made me realise that there’s still good people out there because I didn’t have that much faith in someone coming up or doing the right thing,” Ford said.
Ford said she was grateful to have the ring returned to her finger Monday. I’m just glad that they got it back,” Chock said. Chock remembered seeing Ford’s mother’s post on the Facebook page and reached out to reunite the ring with the family. “I was dumping out gifts and out came a ring and I was like, ‘This is not mine,’” Chock said. Joyce Chock, a customer who had been helped by Ford at the store, said she dumped out her shopping bags several days later to wrap some Christmas gifts and made a surprising discovery.
“I thought it was gone.” Ford’s mother posted about the lost ring on an Elk Grove community Facebook page, but several days went by with no leads on the heirloom’s location. We looked on the camera,” Ford told KOVR-TV. “My whole team looked all over the front, all over the store. Geena Ford, an employee at Home Goods in Elk Grove, said she was at work recently when she realised her diamond ring, which had been given to her by her great-grandmother, was no longer on her finger. A California store employee who lost her diamond ring at work had the precious heirloom returned to her when a customer arrived home and found it in their bag.
