Wine and Dine at Stella's Smile
Tuesday evenings used to be a race to meet deadlines, so no lovely drives or spontaneous dinners after dark. Well, we're done with that now, and we were so excited to head on over to Stella's Smile for their Burger Tuesdays. We've happily been for Mimosa Sundays, Sangria Thursdays, Wine Flight Wednesdays�you get the drift! Burgers for a Tuesday evening sounded delicious, and we hopped on the purple lovebug (golf cart) and in a few minutes, we'd breezily made our way to Stella's. The nice new paved road sure makes getting around north of the bridge easier! After parking the cart and led by Bruno, their uber-friendly ma�tre d, we happily made our way to the beautifully laid out patio. Our noses twitched�oooh, what's that lovely smell? Oh, burgers on the grill!

Ministry of Health Condemns Exploitation of Vulnerable Persons
It has come to the attention of the Ministry of Health that a perverse video is being circulated on social media. The video features a man and a woman, purported to have diagnoses of mental disorders, being instructed to perform sexual acts by the persons recording the video. The audio on the video reveals that the couple was being encouraged in their actions only to be rewarded with a soda by the persons who were watching and recording the couple performing various sexual acts. The Ministry of Health is appalled at this assault on human dignity and is dismayed that these persons felt comfortable enough to record and share this video to further humiliate this couple and their families. The Ministry of Health implores all Belizeans to protect the privacy and rights of all people, especially those who are made vulnerable because of physical and mental disabilities. The public is strongly encouraged to protest and denounce these types of violations of person's dignity and rights. In so doing we can begin to change the culture of stigma, discrimination and victimization of vulnerable persons who live among us.

Confiscation of Compressed Marijuana in Northern Belize
The Ministry of National Security informs the public that a Belize Defence Force patrol was conducted in the area of Patchacan on 11 June 2016. This patrol led to the discovery of 85 pounds of Marijuana and the detention of three male persons namely: Edilberto Ku, 44-year-old Belizean Vegetable Vendor from Patachacan Village; John Triminio, 59-year-old Belizean Farmer from Xaibe Village; and Gabriel Chan, 28-year-old Belizean Mason from Patachacan Village. These men were handed over to the Corozal Police Station where they were processed and charged. The marijuana is believed to have a street value of over $7,000 Belizean dollars.

Lobster Season reopens: predictions for the 2016-2017 season
It's been almost four months since the lobster season closed to allow the spiny lobster populations to replenish. The reopening of the season is on Wednesday, June 15th and what better way to rejoice in San Pedro than with the 2016 Lobster Fest! During this time, residents and visitors indulge in their favorite lobster-themed dishes. The twelve-day celebration commences on Wednesday, June 15th and ends with a grand block party on Saturday, June 25th. Under the Fisheries Act of Belize, regulated by the Belize Fisheries Department (BFD), the consumption and harvesting of the Caribbean Spiny Lobster (Panulirus Argus) is only allowed from June 15 to February 14. The Belize Fisheries Department reported that after the 2014-2015 lobster season closed, the quantity of lobster tails produced was 484,891.1 pounds in 2014, with the figures increasing to 535,863.2 lbs in 2015.

Rumour: 'Car Rental in San Pedro?'; Mayor: 'Absolutely Not!'
As development continues on Ambergris Caye, so grows residents' concerns about the rapid transformation of a municipality into a busier, more urban area. Recently the state of a new business venture on Coconut Drive has raised many questions, mainly, 'what business is it?' There was much speculation that it is a potential car rental, but The San Pedro Town Council has been quick to clarify that it is not. The San Pedro Traffic Department (SPTD) spoke to The San Pedro Sun, stating that while they heard the same rumours, no applications have been submitted for such business. The SPTD is not processing anymore applications for vehicles, except for a limited amount of personal golf carts and motorcycles. Mayor Daniel Guerrero also confirmed the SPTD statements. As the chairman of the Trade Licensing Board, he dismissed the idea of approving any vehicular rentals on the island. "We are not approving any such thing as a car rental. As a matter of fact, at the moment we have a moratorium that no more vehicles can be transported to the island. Those comments about such business are far from true," said Guerrero.

The Ministry of National Security informs the public that a joint patrol was conducted in the areas of Valentin Camp, Retiro, Cebada and Sapote during the period 29 May, 2016 to 09 June 2016. Members of the Belize Defence Force, with the support of the Belize Police Department, Forestry Department, Ministry of Human Development and Friends for Conservation and Development, destroyed 650 marijuana plants of varying height, 50 acres of pumpkin and 100 coffee plants. Also six families consisting of 20 persons were found to be living in Retiro (Belize). These families were ordered to leave. Here are photographs of the plantation and the families.

Dreamscapes of Belize Development
Have you bought land in Dreamscapes of Belize Development. For many in 2008 it started as a dream, but for all it has turned into the ultimate real estate nightmare. "A COMPANY FROM NORTH PALM BEACH FLORIDA SELLING REAL ETATE IN BELIZE IS ACCUSED OF SCAMMING MILLIONS" says a report from BBN and BMG! "A real estate company, DreamScapes Belize, operated by several foreigners with questionable backgrounds has come under scrutiny and been slapped with several lawsuits after being accused of scamming buyers out of millions of dollars in a case of real estate fraud. DreamScapes has also been linked to two firms named in the "Panama Papers" leak from the Mossack-Fonseca firm several months ago.

City Violence Re-surges With Murder
After 1 month of calm on the Belize City Southside, there was a terrible daylight murder yesterday evening. 34 year-old Marlon Banner was shot and killed on the basketball court at the corner of Fabers Road and Central American Boulevard. From what we've been able to find out he was a family man and a dedicated son who took care of his wife, his children and his ailing mother. Yet, his was a street-style slaying which happened in front of other eyewitnesses, and it had elements of deliberate cruelty reserved for only notorious personalities. Today, our news team went looking for answers and found out that Banner, with no known gang ties, may have been killed simply because of the friends he kept: 34 year-old Marlon Banner was gunned down here inside the Faber's Road Basketball Court. Yesterday evening at around before 5 o'clock, he was waiting for his opportunity to play ball with the other neighborhood young men, something that was part of his daily routine. He sat under this tree, and that's when, according to eyewitnesses, a lone gunman came through the gate.

US Flags Fly Half Mast For Victims in Orlando Massacre
If you follow international news, you will know of the Orlando, Florida nightclub massacre in which 50 people were killed and another 53 injured. US President Barrack Obama has called it "the most deadly shooting in American History." Reports are that over 300 people were inside the popular gay nightclub when a man later identified as Omar Mateen came in with 2 assault rifles and sprayed the crowd with bullets. The FBI is investigating this case as an act of terror and an act of hate. Now, while Belize is not directly linked to this mass shooting, it sends waves of horror to the LGBT community across the world, including Belize. This heinous act also highlights the challenges and threats that LGBT members face daily. Today we asked US Ambassador Moreno for a comment on this deadly shootout.

Did Bze Pharmacist Lose His Job For Homophobe Post On Facebook?
Now while US Ambassador Moreno didn't address the daily threat to LGBT members in Belize, several Belizeans boldly expressed how they felt about it. Most were in solidarity with the victims, but quite a few came out strongly anti-gay in the usual social media banter. But one particular post that gained a lot of traction was this one: Belizean Facebook user Raynard Humphreys said that the killing of 50 members of the gay community in Orlando was, in his opinion, justified. In a subsequent post, he said, and we quote, "I will never say killing of people is right. However I believe in this instance, it was justified. I personally am utterly against homosexuality and I can see where someone a little less sane than I am, can find it in them to hurt so many people."

Caleb On The Contagion Of Hate
So, as you heard, Raynard Humphreys has apologized, but it's too little too late, since he has already lost his job over it. Today, we got an opportunity to speak with Caleb Orozco, Belize's most public gay rights activist, who is currently in the Dominican Republic attending the 2016 OAS General Assembly. He's doing advocacy work on behalf of LGBT persons in Belize and the Caribbean, and so we asked him via Skype today about the concern that there is a strong undercurrent of homophobia in Belizean public sentiment - the kind that manifested itself in the Humphrey's post and many others. Here's what he had to say just before the start of news:

Did Drinking Cop Get Off Easy?
A police officer will face disciplinary action but not criminal charges after he fired gunshots in public. It happened near Perez Road area in Ladyville on Friday night around 9:30. According to reports, Detective Constable Urbie Alamilla was off duty that night and was drinking and socializing with 2 friends when he pulled out his department issued gun and fired 3 shots in the air. That created a public uproar, and this video was taken in the aftermath and posted on Facebook . It shows an apparently inebriated Alamilla laid out on the street, and also confronting a fellow police officer who was trying to bring order to the chaotic scene. Residents in the area crowded the officer demanding that he be charged for firing his weapon - but they warned that knowing the police, he wouldn't be charged. And it seems they were right.

Ruthless and Revolting Exploitation Of Mentally Challenged
The Ministry of Health has put out a public statement condemning a revolting video that has been posted on Facebook. The video depicts two mentally challenged adults, a male and a female being directed to engage in sexual acts - all in exchange for a soft drink. The vile four-minute video shows them being prodded on and directed by a boisterous group of women. In the end it breaks up when the male gets afraid because someone says police are coming. It is a sad commentary on the state of our society's standards, but abuse of the mentally ill is widespread, and it is not the first such video posted on facebook. Looking at the video, there's no clue as to what town or city it happened in, but the Commander of Southside police today said that while it is repulsive, to actually prosecute the persons responsible for co-ercing the sexual exploitation of these mentally ill persons is difficult. Here's how he explained why:

The Many Legal Woes of Derrick Garbutt
Last week Wednesday, we told you about 38 year-old Derrick Garbutt, the man caught on camera as he burglarized Spoonaz Photo Cafe and Bar on Tuesday May 31st. Our information was that he had been arraigned for that crime, but, in fact, he was arraigned for another. He was actually charged in that first instance with common assault, to which he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 3 months. Today, was his actual arraignment for that and the other burglary of the two business places. He was charged with burglary for just over 1,700 worth of liquor and a pellet gun which he stole from Spoonaz Cafe.

BDF And Joint Team Marches Into Chiqubul, Ejects Guates
The Guatemalan army may have deployed more soldiers along the border with Belize and that country's congress may have sent out a travel advisory for its citizens in Belize, but on the ground on the poverty stricken Guatemalan villages along the border with Chiquibul, all that political grandstanding counts for very little. In those communities hunger, and the hunt for arable land is what keeps pushing them into Belize. Further proof of this came between 29th. May and ninth June when a joint patrol was conducted in the areas of Valentin Camp, Retiro, Cebada and Sapote. Now this was more than just the regular joint police and BDF patrol, this one had personnel form the Forestry Department, and the Ministry of Human Development as well as Friends for Conservation and Development. They destroyed 650 Marijuana plants, 50 acres of Pumpkin and 100 Coffee plants. They found six families consisting of 20 persons living in the Retiro are which is well within Belize. They were all ordered to leave.

Belize's Courts Go Digital, Kinda
Belize's courts are finally getting rid of those handwritten transcripts and moving towards digital recordings. The Judges and stenographers, who have to write down as precisely as possible, what is said during proceedings, know all too well how tedious that is. Then there are the claimants who have to wait and hope that those transcripts are accurate enough for deliberation, knowing full well that, handwritten notes are susceptible to errors. Well, all that doubt and anxiety should not be a problem anymore. That's because this morning Representatives from the US Embassy, on behalf of CARSI, which is the Central American Regional Security Initiative, handed over Court Audio Recording Equipment at the Supreme Court. US Ambassador to Belize Carlos Moreno discussed how significant this recording equipment will be during court proceedings.

New System to Be Installed At Prison
But this technological advancement extends beyond the courtroom. US Ambassador Moreno also discussed plans to set up an audio - visual system at the Belize Central prison. There would be an open link or connection to the court for arraignments and other court proceedings. Moreno - himself a former judge - explained just how more efficient and beneficial this system will be. Carlos Moreno, US Ambassador to Belize: "What's next is that we are currently working on an audio/visual connection between the courts, the various police stations and the prison out in Hattieville. So in terms of the audio/visual connection with the prison in Hattieville, this would save time, effort and other resources if we can have certain proceedings like arraignments and shorter type hearings where you don't have to transport the prisoner. It's also better for security, don't have the need for prisoners giving possible opportunity of escaping when they are being transported to court."

I am Guilty, Man Accused of Stabbing Tells Court
Twenty-eight year old Renford Tillett, charged with grievous harm and use of deadly means of harm, pled guilty to the lesser charge of use of deadly means of harm today before Justice John Gonzalez. The incident occurred on June 3, 2011 on Partridge Street. There was a misunderstanding between Tillett and 29 year-old Theodore Swazo and Tillett stabbed Swazo once in the chest. Swazo's injury was classified as grievous harm. The trial began last Tuesday and two witness testified. Then, a trial within this trial was held to determine whether an application made by the Crown to have a dock identification of Tillett should be allowed. But before Justice Gonzalez could rule on it Tillett changed his plea from not guilty to guilty.

New Rules And Regions For Fishers
The Belize Fisheries Department is changing the way fishermen catch fish through a stakeholder based initiative known as Managed Access. This divides Belize's territorial waters into 9 fishing zones. A smaller pilot project like this was launched in 2011 and it targeted two zones, namely the Glovers reef Marine Reserve and the Port Honduras Marine Reserve. The successes in these two areas have given the department enough confidence to expand this initiative to encompass all of Belize's territorial waters. But now with more stringent regulations governing fishing activities in Belize how are the 3 thousand licensed fishermen in Belize taking it? Well we found out this morning when we attended the official launch of the project at the Fisheries compound in Belize City.

The Curfew Overview
3 months ago, we told you about the kids curfew That Eastern Division South Commander Chester Williams had set up. He's trying to curb the number of children out on the streets, who the gang figures could recruit to commit murders. Well, in the months after the pushback from the child advocacy organizations, a modified version was put into effect. Today, he said that it has been quietly working: ACP Chester Williams, OC, Eastern Division South: "The curfew is still ongoing. We picked up I think last week we picked up about 4 minors off the streets. The parents were again issued with the warning letters. We have not arrived at a stage where we can arrest and charge a parent, because those children that we have we picked up and the parent warned, they have not been dealt with before. So, we have not had a situation where we picked up a child twice, because you know that we normally give the warning in the first instance and if the child is being picked up again, then we take legal action against the parent. So we have not had a situation where we picked up a child twice, where we would have to charge the parent because of a second infraction."

Chester Loves The Children
And the summer vacation is already here, which could mean that a lot more young boys will have free time to hang out with these gang figures, whose influence the police are trying cut. So, apart from the usual summer camps, Williams wants to take these city children on tours of the Country, just to get them outside of the city. He calls it "Getting to Know your Country", which he hopes will work keep a lot of the children occupied and safe. Here's how the program will ideally work: Williams says that the model being discussed should be cost and socially effective.

The Many Moods of Mangoes
For fruit lovers, there's no better time of year than when mangoes truly "come een". And they have for sure! Everywhere you turn, from the street corner to the supermarket to the produce market, the full abundance of and multiplicity of mangoes surround us. But which is your favourite? Is it the Black Mango, Number 11, Slippers�or maybe something more exotic like the cousins Sandy and Tanga Shaw, or the super rare, Gold Mango? Exactly one year ago, Courtney Weatherburne went to the Michael Finnegan market for an education in the fascinating taxonomy of Belize's favourite and most fetishised fruit:...

PS Footballers
Last week 12 teams participated in the National Primary School Football Championships. 6 male teams and 6 female teams from each District competed for first place prize at the Isidoro Beaton Stadium in Belmopan. Four teams in each category- male and female-advanced to the semifinals, which were played on Friday. It was a bitter fight to the top but in the end, only one could be named the champ. In the males category it was Chunox SDA Primary School, from Corozal, which took first place prize. They defeated San Pedro RC School. In the female category Corozal's Copper Bank RC School came out victorious. They defeated Independence Primary from Stann Creek. The National Sports Council also named two MVP's. For the male's the MVP went to Romario Martinez from Chunox SDA Primary School, and for the female's the MVP award went to Dianira Lopez of Copper Bank RC School. The winners of this competition will have a chance at participating in next year's CODICADER games.

Learning to do with out some of the basics - like water and cable TV
We are living in a time of scarcity, here on Ambergris Caye. For one, we are running out of water. This is a seasonal thing. We have just come through the dry season. June 1 marked the beginning of the rainy season but, as with all man-made criteria, Nature has its own schedule. Oh, we've had a few showers, mostly in the evening, but none of the torrential rains we are expecting. Meanwhile, one cistern in our condo complex ran dry last week - at around 10 p.m. These are fed from rainwater rolling off the roof. The residents had to make do until staff could run a hose from one of the buildings with a greater supply. Each building has its own rainwater entrapment system, but occupancy varies. The one that ran dry feeds the local bar and recently housed a large family in the penthouse (with Jacuzzi , I'm told). So, yeah, their cistern ran out first. A restaurant up the road had a load of water trucked in yesterday, as a precautionary measure. It wouldn't do to run dry with dirty dishes in the sink and customers clamoring for food!

The History of the Caribbean Spiny Lobster Industry on San Pedro
The first few decades of the twentieth century brought the beginning of Belize's spiny lobster industry. Belizeans had traditionally rejected lobsters as "trash fish" and made no effort to exploit them. In the early 1920s as the North American lobster industry was declining, an American and a Canadian founded cannery to process lobster tails for export to the US market. The fishermen who sold their lobster tails to them received only 1₵ per pound. From these tentative beginnings grew a successful lobster industry that produced the country's most valuable marine export from roughly World War II to present day. With the lobster fishery came the first freezer boat to purchase lobster tails directly from fishermen and transport them to the USA. After World War II, buyers sent more vessels with freezers and established processing and cold storage facilities in Belize City, thus permitting full-time, year-round lobster production.

Mexico protests over Oaxaca teachers' leader arrest

They have set up roadblocks around Oaxaca to demand his release. The union has also called for demonstrations in Mexico City on Tuesday and Friday.

The Atlantic Slave Trade in Two Minutes
sually, when we say "American slavery" or the "American slave trade," we mean the American colonies or, later, the United States. But as we discussed in Episode 2 of Slate's History of American Slavery Academy, relative to the entire slave trade, North America was a bit player. From the trade's beginning in the 16th century to its conclusion in the 19th, slave merchants brought the vast majority of enslaved Africans to two places: the Caribbean and Brazil. Of the more than 10 million enslaved Africans to eventually reach the Western Hemisphere, just 388,747-less than 4 percent of the total-came to North America. This was dwarfed by the 1.3 million brought to Spanish Central America, the 4 million brought to British, French, Dutch, and Danish holdings in the Caribbean, and the 4.8 million brought to Brazil.

Viewpoint: How British let one million Indians die in famine
It has been a difficult summer for India. Drought and a searing heat wave have affected an astonishing 330 million people across the country. But this summer also marks the 150th anniversary of a far more terrible and catastrophic climatic event: the Orissa famine of 1866. Hardly anyone today knows about this famine. It elicits little mention in even the densest tomes on Indian history. There will be few, if any, solemn commemorations. Yet the Orissa famine killed over a million people in eastern India. In modern-day Orissa state, the worst hit region, one out of every three people perished, a mortality rate far more staggering than that caused by the Irish Potato Famine. The Orissa famine also became an important turning point in India's political development, stimulating nationalist discussions on Indian poverty. Faint echoes of these debates still resonate today amid drought-relief efforts.
