San Pedro's environmental crisis!
The San Pedro VIP Team calls on the San Pedro Town Board to immediately cease from dumping of garbage for filling of streets. We call on Department of Environment to urgently investigate this matter which scientist predict will cause the economic and environmental collapse of Ambergris Caye. We further call on all residents and developers to be more conscious of the environment and to properly dispose of all garbage at the designated dumpsite. The VIP launched their "Save San Pedro, Embrace the Change" campaign with the Environment as their priority issue.

Mounting garbage in Altamar continues to upset residents
The San Pedro Town Council made slight efforts to remove some of the garbage and erected a "No Dumping" sign, but most of the garbage remains and some of it has merely been pushed into an empty lot. Residents say that they remain frustrated after countless calls to authorities, with no positive results. Until the garbage is totally removed, residents claim they will continue to call on the local authority to address the issue. The San Pedro Sun has attempted multiple times to speak to Mayor Daniel Guerrero on this matter but our requests have not been honored.

Satisfy your Conch Fritter Cravings with this Simple Recipe
One of the most sought after marine delicacies in Belize is the conch. It's sweet, flavorful and delicious; hard to think that there are some people who don't like it. One of the most popular and delicious ways to prepare conch is in a ceviche, but the conch fritter rivals the ceviche as one of the most asked for bocas (appetizers) in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize. Once the conch goes out of season in Belize, people start craving for it bad and cannot wait for the season to open in order to start devouring the delicacy.

Emerging Tourism Trends for Belize
Before the end of last year, I wrote an article naming six travel trends that are going to be important in 2015. I did this in hope that Belize tourism stakeholders would exploit them for the New Year but after visiting in January I realized that there are a few more things I should add to that list. If you weren't interested in clicking above, here's a recap of my original article: I mentioned that small businesses will be favored over large ones, authentic eating experiences will tromp fancy restaurants, demand for food tours will increase, offering free WI-FI is no longer a luxury but a must, requests for vacation rentals will continue to rise, and local travel is getting more popular. 1. Active Tours, 2. Mobile , 3. Boutique Hotels and Restaurants, 4. Video, 5. Craft is King.

San Pedro Traffic Dept. Upgrades with Four New Motorcycles
With a crew of ten traffic wardens, the new motorcycles should allow for each warden to have his/her own transportation or allow for the bikes to undergo proper maintenance cycles. Councilor Brackett says he is lobbying the Town Council for two new wardens which he wants to station in North Ambergris Caye, across the Boca del Rio Bridge. The new motorcycles were financed by the San Pedro Town Council.

Seniors experience the Zoo
Both the weather and the mood of our elderly visitors was sunny and bright, as Ms. Rosinell Craig, the General Manager of My Cielo Blue Senior Center led this excited group into The Belize Zoo recently. Coming all the way from the peaceful village of Gardenia, the seniors experienced the Zoo with personal guides, Director Sharon Matola, and Animal Management Supervisor, Tony Garel. The happy tapirs received carrot and sweet potato treats, and then the thrill of watching acrobatic spider monkeys was next on the list. Getting around the zoo was not a problem, thanks to the visitor-friendly accessible pathways. No visit to the Zoo is complete without a fun stop to meet our beautiful jaguars. Lucky Boy, and our rehabilitated "Problem Cats", Lindo and Springfield, all came to say hello. While Brutus, our 12 foot long American crocodile, brought forth a gasp or two, Sharon added even more zest to the crocodile close encounter. Out came our sweet Crocodile Rose! At first, there was a bit of stunned silence. Then, the group took turns stroking two year old Rose, and some even held the reptilian babe!

Spiny lobster abundance study at Glover's Reef, Belize finds fishery in good shape
A recent study conducted in the waters of Glover's Reef Marine Reserve in Belize by the Wildlife Conservation Society and its partners has revealed good news for spiny lobsters: the abundance of these commercially valuable crustaceans should support local fisheries into the future, an indication that no-take areas and other regulations are protecting the nation's marine resources. "Overall, the fishery seems to be in good shape and the no-take areas seem to be protecting the species from overfishing," said Janet Gibson, Director of WCS's Belize Program. "One regulatory change that would strengthen protection for the spiny lobster population would be to increase the size limit of lobsters taken, a small adjustment that could ensure a future for the species and the fishery." This recommendation is also in keeping with that of the Central American Fisheries and Aquaculture Organization (OSPESCA).

Clarification on statements made against the SPTC and Mayor by Ambassador of the Republic of Honduras
It has come to the attention of the San Pedro Town Council that allegations were made against the council, the Mayor of San Pedro Town, Mr. Daniel Guerrero, the Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation and Culture, Hon Manuel Heredia Jr. and other authorities on Ambergris Caye. These allegations are related to the death and the immediate burial of Honduran national Silvia Benitez earlier in January. The misinformation was stated first at a forum held on January 29th, 2015 at the Lion's Den and then on The Reef Radio Morning Show by Her Excellency Sandra Rosalez Abella, Ambassador of the Republic of Honduras. On both occasions, Ambassador Abella was flanked by the People's United Party Mayoral Candidate Giovanni Solorzano and other key members of the PUP.

When Will Dr. Marco Tulio Mendez be Charged?
Dr. Marco Tulio Mendez and his attorney are waiting tonight for police to inform them when they will formally charge him for child molestation. The allegations against him are that two teenaged girls have accused him of inappropriate behavior which supposedly took place when they were little girls. Mendez, who is the Area Representative from Orange Walk East, waited most of today to hear from police if they had completed their paper work for the charges, and we're told that police may bring as many as 9 separate offences against him. The expectation was that Mendez was to have been requested to come in today to be arrested. That didn't happen because, according to our sources, the investigators encountered legal issues, which required legal advice.

Hon. Santi To Mayor Darrell: The Road To Cari Shores Comes Through Me
April of 2013 - that's when we first reported on Belize City Mayor Darrell Bradley's interest in running for Caribbean Shores. And in fact, that's what made it so tough for him to decide to run for another term as mayor, because the general election would come at the end of that second term, or earlier. But, the mayor decided he would do both: try and hold unto the mayor's seat and get into a division. That path seemed to have been simplified somewhat when word came from the Santino Castillo camp that he would not be running again. But Castillo never said it - and he remains the elected representative for Caribbean Shores. On Saturday at an event to declare open a drainage project in the area - he made it clear that if Bradley wanted a seat in the Shores - he would have to fight him to get it. Here are his remarks:.. Hon. Santino Castillo, Caribbean Shores Area Rep. "The work of transforming and modernizing Caribbean Shores have only just begun, so don't listen to anyone that tells you that I will not be running again. That is what some of them wish. In fact, join me and let's continue that journey in 2015, 2016, 2017 and beyond. Together lets ensure a brighter future for all residents of Caribbean Shores. Anybody that wants to come to Caribbean Shores will have to come through me."

Senior Attorney In Senior Trouble With Court
At 77 years old, Ernest Staine is one of the most senior legal practitioners in the country - but he's also in senior trouble tonight - and today the court agreed to an order which would commit him to jail. That's because he has 230 thousand dollars for Rita McField - the proceeds from a land transaction. Staine was holding the money in escrow on behalf of a client for McField. He was supposed to release it when the land title was cleaned up. That happened in the middle of 2014, but he didn't hand over the money. Now almost half a year has passed and he still hasn't handed it over. Supreme Court Justice Courtney Abel gave him until the end of January to hand over the money - and still, nothing was forthcoming. Today he sent the court a Doctor's letter saying he's not well enough to appear. And based only on that, he was given a break - but the court ok'd an order which requires him to come up with the money by February 17th, or face committal to jail. Bradley-Ellis explained it to us outside the courtroom:..

Cops Uses Pepper Spray On Prison Van, to Disastrous Effect
This morning a group of prisoners - who were being escorted from court to the Belize Central Prison- were pepper sprayed in the prison van. The mother of one the men, Allison Broaster, came to our studios after the incident to complain about a cell block officer who pepper sprayed her son and two other prisoners for no reason. She told us that all she was trying to do was give the officer money to give her son, but apparently, the officer wouldn't have that - there was some resistance and that is when the men were sprayed and taken away in the prison van. Here is what she had to say. Allison Broaster "We were out there when they bring down the guys from prison. They are not problem guys. They were asking to get some money from me and the officer pulled out the pepper spray and he started spraying them." Courtney Weatherburne "How are these boys related to you?"

Bad Boledo Business
A Chinese vendor was fined $5,000 today by Magistrate Herbert Panton for selling an illegal lottery ticket. 47 year old Jia Bi Wang was charged in July of last year with the offence. According to Police constable Hyde, on July 13th, 2014 he was at Kim's Shop on Iguana Street Extension when he saw Wang sell a man a lottery ticket that was reportedly fraudulent. Hyde said he took the ticket from the man as well as the money from the counter that the man had paid with. Hyde said he informed Wang of the offence and escorted her to the Raccoon Street Police Station. Wang has until June 30th to pay the $5,000. If she defaults on payment she will serve 3 years.

Dr. Lesly Says She Just Wants Her Family Left Alone
As we told you at the top of the newscast - Dr. Marco Tulio Mendez is awaiting a grim court date sometime this week - when he will become the first parliamentarian in memory to be charged for child abuse. Last week, we showed you our interview with his wife, Dr. Lesly Mendez, who told us exclusively that the political operatives from both sides are targeting her and her family. She also revealed to us that her family has been facing this accusation against Dr. Marco Tulio for an entire years. As we told you back in November he announced that he wasn't running for health reasons, and there is no evidence to suggest at this time that these allegations have any connection to that. But, the timing is very important because there is some suggestion from certain quarters that Dr. Lesly Mendez is the one pressing this issue to discredit him.

Older Couple Home Invaded By Young Boys On Old Northern Hwy
Ladyville Police continue to investigate a strange home invasion at mile 20 on the Old Northern Highway. Two senior citizens a 75 year-old man, and a 57 year-old woman, were attacked by 6 young men who invaded their house, just after midnight on Sunday. They didn't take anything, but one of the young men assaulted the woman, and they impersonated police to try to get into the house. Today, we got a chance to speak with Hipolito Castillo and Marlene Rufenucht (Roof-en-nut) today about the incident: Hipolito Castillo "I was sick and I ask her to come and stay because I was upset in my stomach and the she said that she saw somebody walking to the garage and then afterwards the dogs were barking and then all of a sudden a door came down. They broke down the door with cement blocks." Marlene Rufenucht "At around 12:30 the dogs start barking. Then I got up. What happen is that he doesn't like his house in darkness. He wanted to have a light or two in there in the kitchen and the middle part where the bathroom is. The glare in the light from dark to clear, you could see movements around inside the house. The problem with me that night when I open the window and I peep through the window, a guy ran from behind the garage straight to the stairs and went up, and he came back down and all this while I am looking at him.

Ex-Servicemen Dispute Back Court
The battle for control of the ex-servicemen's league continued in the Supreme Court today before Justice Courtney Abel. The Belize City branch maintains that the national branch has not had proper elections in 8 years - and so they want those elections to be held. But, in the interim the League has to be administered - and the executive members say they need their executive seats restored to get that done. After a quick hearing today in which Justice Abel gave an order restoring normalcy to the organization -w e spoke to the attorney for the Belize City Branch outside the court:.. Naima Barrow, Attorney for City Branch - Ex-Servicemen's League "What we have sought and secure from the court is an order appointing a receiver for the purpose of conducting elections. Elections have not, to our clients mind, been held properly since over 8 years ago. So, Ms. Tamai as the Chief Elections Officer has been named as the receiver because we think that she is most fit to attend to the election of the league.

Ambitious Drainage Project Will Slow Belama Traffic
Works have already begun on Albert Hoy Street in Belama. As part of the flood mitigation project, 1600 feet of road will be paved and the entire length will have drainage. Now the only disadvantage that comes along with this project and any road project for that matter- is the inconvenience to motorists. In this case, for the duration of the rehabilitation project, Albert Hoy Street will be turned into a "One way Street" from TV Ramos to Chetumal Street in that same direction. Jose Divas, Technical Specialist of the Flood Mitigation Project discussed the scope of the project with us today. Works are expected to be completed in October.

Million Dollars In Drainage For Buttonwood Bay
And another drainage project just across the highway was declared open this weekend. The million dollar Buttonwood Bay Drainage project saw the replacement of 6,000 linear feet of earth drains with new ferro- concrete lined drains, covered sidewalks, installation of reinforced concrete box culverts, as well as removal and replacement of walkways in the area. The project was undertaken by SIF and this Saturday, the Director said it will meaningfully improve drainage in the community:.. William Lamb, Executive Director - SIF "This drainage project will address both health and environmental issues in this area, preventing long lasting flood and reducing stagnant water from around the area. For most of Belize, including this area, is considered to be under sea level, so this project was done mainly to address the surface water to run off into these secondary drains and then into the main drains out to the sea."

Busy Airport Junction The Scene of Another Crash
There was an accident this morning in Ladyville at the intersection of the Northern Highway and the Airport Road - which is a hotspot intersection. A crowded Bus from coming from Sarteneja Corozal ended up crashing into a smaller white bus which had just turned onto the highway. Fortunately the accident only resulted in only minor injuries. The suggestion is that the driver of the bus was in the wrong for the speed it was traveling at while approaching an intersection, but also, there are passengers on the bus who say that the driver of the smaller white bus did not indicate while he was turning onto the high way. Police will establish who is at fault, but today, one of the eyewitnesses spoke with us about what he saw: Phillip Diaz, Eyewitness "I was on the opposite side of the street and I was looking and I just notice that this blue bus, the speed that it was going - I want to know if the they don't have any common sense, because I am not saying that the white bus that came out of the airport road was in the right, but if they were using precaution and drive with care, this wouldn't not have happen at all, because he would have had time to stop.

Belize's Cotton Sought After By Japan
When you hear the term sea-island cotton - you may think of something from the caye's. But the so called sea island cotton is just an extra long variant of the cotton plant - and, apparently, the type grown in Belize is especially sought after. That's why the government of Japan is encouraging farmers in the north to get into farming it. They today signed an agreement ot provide assistance:.. 6 farmers from Buena Vista, Little Belize and Bomba are currently involved in the project and they have produced 30 thousand pounds of dry cotton fetching a value of 160 thousand dollars.

Big Bucks For Bribery
26 year-old Hiberto Kim, a construction worker of San Pedro Columbia, was lucky to walk out of Magistrate's Court with only a fine to pay after he was convicted today of trying to bribe a police officer. Had he not tried to bribe the officer, he would have only had to pay 25 dollars for the charge, but now, he must find $525. The incident happened on New Year's Eve, On January 31. Kim was drinking a Belikin Stout at the corner of George Street and Orange Street when he was approached by a police officer. The officer warned Kim that he was committing a criminal offence, and he called for a mobile. When Kim saw the mobile approaching, he slipped $10 into the officer's hand and tried to bribe him to stand down the police action against him. The officer refused to take the money, and he ended up charging Kim with bribery and public drinking. He pleaded guilty to the charges today when he was arraigned before Magistrate Herbert Panton.

NTUCB Has a New President
The national trade union congress of Belize has a new president. Marvin Mora was elected unopposed at the NTUCB AGM this weekend in Caye Caulker. Mora replaced Dylan Reneau who did not seek another term. He told us what will be the priority of his two year term:.. Marvin Mora, New President - NTUCB "It is the time, because I realize that there are certain things that the NTUCB needs and the only way that it can be done is if we have a change way at the top of the leadership. I believe that I understand unionism down to its core and I believe also that a lot of people within the trade union and outside of the trade union have a lot of confidence in me, so I think it was the right time." Jules Vasquez "Will we see increase advocacy from the NTUCB?" Marvin Mora, New President - NTUCB "Oh yes, definitely. You will also see more presence at a social level as well. That is, I believe at the core of building the image of the NTUCB. The new executive is, for the most part, people who had been in the background working who are new and the ones that were within the executive, who were given the all-out. I am pretty confident that I have a very good hardworking team with me now."

Finally, A New Road For Frank's Eddy
A contract was signed this morning between the Ministry of Works & Transport (GOB) and Belize Roadway construction Ltd, for the paving of the Frank's Eddy/Jaguar Paw Road. The paving of the road will be done at a cost of $4.8 million dollars and is expected to be complete in six months.
