NTUCB condemns PetroCaribe Bill
The National Trade Union Congress of Belize (NTUCB) is considering taking some form of action in protest of the recently passed PetroCaribe Bill, its President, Marvin Mora said.
According to Mora, they made several suggestions as possible displays of opposition against the Bill during their executive meeting on Tuesday night.
He added, however, that they have not made a final decision, and as such, he was unable to say what those suggestions were.
Mora was able to say, though, that the union categorically condemns the passing of the PetroCaribe Bill in the House of Representatives last week.

Orange Walk police are following a few leads into the shooting murder of businessman, Ricardo Triminio, 57, in Orange Walk Town early Tuesday morning.

Triminio's mother, Vivian Triminio, has said she heard a volley of gunshots around 2 a.m. that morning, but thought nothing of it and went back to sleep.
Six hours later, at around 9 a.m., a sanitation worker sawTriminio's bullet-riddled body on the floor of the business. He had been shot in the face, chest, left arm and both shoulders.

Barrow could face criminal charges - New Petro-Caribe legislation will not affect legal challenge
Prime Minister Dean Barrow could face criminal prosecution if a legal challenge currently waiting to be heard before the Supreme Court succeeds, confirming that his Government's administration of millions of dollars in public funds is in violation of our laws. Various attorneys with absolutely no political axe to grind but guided by civic duty and conscience, including Senior Counsel Andrew Marshalleck and Magali Marin-Young, have stepped up and are leading the Opposition PUP's legal case against the arrogant actions of Prime Minister Barrow. The PM's borrowing of millions of dollars, BZE$228,614,710 to be exact, which were obtained through the Alba Petro-Caribe initiative between September 2012 and August 2014, tipped the scale between what is legal and what is outrageously illegal. The borrowing was illegal.
Gunman Hunts Down Jaime Chavarria!
Someone wanted Jaime Chavarria dead and twice this month they attempted to take his life. They succeeded in the second attempt which occurred on Monday night.
The 26 year old construction worker was shot dead in an abandoned yard through an unnamed alley on Berkley Street in Belize City. This area is not far from the busy downtown of the old capital.
Police found Chavarria lying motionless, face up, and bleeding from multiple gunshot wounds.
Police believe that Chavarria was walking through the yard when an unknown gunman ambushed him and shot him. Chavarria had little chance of escape or survival.
Senate Trashes PetroCaribe Bill - Legislation passes after 6-5 vote in favour, Union Senator abstained
In a tense, thick and incredibly unstable atmosphere, the Senate met in the City of Belmopan today to debate the Budget and the highly controversial ALBA (PetroCaribe) Belize Energy Limited Loan Bill.
The UDP Senators - Hon. Godwin Hulse, Hon. Joy Grant, Hon. Gerardo Marconi Sosa, Hon. Juliet Thimbriel and Hon. Lisel Alamilla were in pure defensive mode, trying their best to convince the Belizean people that over US$114 million (BZ$228 million) in loans could be dipped into wantonly and without proper authorization from the National Assembly.
The PUP and Private Sector Senators - Hon. Lisa Shoman, Hon. Anthony Sylvestre Jr., Hon. Patrick J. Andrews, Hon. Fr. Noel Leslie (for the Churches), Hon. Mark Lizarraga (for the Business Sector) and Hon. Ray Davis (for the Unions) were not as convinced - not by the bill, nor by the 2015-2016 Budget debated in the House the week before. And it showed, especially in the fiery presentations by Senators Lizarraga, Shoman, Sylvestre and Andrews.
PUP: On Campaign Mode!
The People's United Party (PUP) kicked off its 2015 campaign planning on Sunday March 29th at Leslie's Farm at Mile 51.5 on the George Price Highway with a full day working session.
One hundred and twenty-five persons participated, comprised of members of the National Executive, Standard Bearers, parliamentarians, businesspersons, members of constituency executive committee and friends and supporters of the PUP.
The Party Leader, Francis Fonseca, stated that "the objective of this full-day event was to hear frank views as to the challenges facing the party, as well as to receive recommendations, arising after vigorous debate, as to the strategies required in taking the party to victory."
Setting the stage for dictatorship
Last week Thursday, the Prime Minister of Belize introduced into the House of Representatives a Bill that in the view of many represents a major step toward dictatorship. The bill was taken through all three readings and it seems our Prime Minister has a very short memory. One of the things he railed against incessantly while in Opposition was the rushing of Bills through the House in one sitting. According to Section 49(2) of the Standing Orders of the House of Representatives, "An interval of not less than ten days must lapse between the first and second reading of a Bill�." There is however, and as usual, a loophole. The law goes on to state that "unless the House, on motion made and question put, agree to proceed with the Bill at an earlier date or forthwith." Since assuming office (the House meets at least four times for the year with several Bills being presented at each sitting), there might have been 1 (one) Bill that has seen the required time between readings. What is the rush here; in particular with a Bill of such huge importance and of such potential consequence?
The answer to this is easy but not obvious. In October of last year, chairman of the Public Accounts Committee Julius Espat filed a motion in the courts of Belize attempting to restrain government's reckless spending of Petro Caribe funds. In an interview given at the time, Espat explained his purpose for the lawsuit, "�we are seeking to make sure that the Government of Belize, any party that forms the Government of Belize, ultimately follows the law.
Barrow is above the Law or so he thinks
"It cannot be true! For it would mean that Mr. Barrow is above the National Assembly." Said a lady at the market on Saturday morning.
But it is true. The Prime Minister of Belize has rammed through a law that he is not answerable to anyone for millions of dollars he has been spending and will continue to spend without prior approval of the Legislature.
Since September of 2012 Mr. Barrow has had the arrogance to commence borrowing and spending of Petro Caribe monies to the tune of almost three hundred million dollars.
This has been done without any prior approval of the National Assembly.
Neither has Mr. Barrow bothered to follow the relevant laws of the country by accounting to the nation for the spending of these millions.
It should be noted that the Constitution of Belize, the supreme law of our country provides safeguards when it comes to public funds.
Section 114 states, "all revenues or other monies raised or received by Belize�.shall be paid into and form part of the Consolidated Revenue Fund.
Belmopan Mystics spanks SQ Stars 3-1
The Belmopan Mystics spanked the Simon Quan Stars 3-1 in Belize district volleyball competition at the Belize Elementary Gymnasium on Saturday.
Mystics' Kori Diego, Kaylani Reid, Alvree Mortis and Kayla Dawson scored points on plays set by Daniella Gibson and Kaylene Flowers to win 25-23, 19-25, 30-28 and 28-26. Khristal Jones, Jhonique Anderson, Loren Henry and libero Vivianni Avila took the court to help the Mystics win the last 2 sets
Stars' only reprieve came in the 2nd set when Marika Zuniga, Precelia Hoare, Rebecca Rath and Mya Musa hammered kills at the net and blocked the Mystics to win the 2nd set 25-19.
Team SMART dominated 16th Junior Cross Country
Team SMART Zoom Cycling dominated the 16th BEL Junior Cross Country Classic held by the Belize Cycling Federation on the George Price Highway on Sunday, March 29, taking the first 3 places and with 4 riders finishing in the top 10.
Team SMART's Ernest Bradley, looked a lot like his father, legendary Cross Country great Ernest "Jawmeighan" Meighan, as he took the win in solo fashion in 3:30:52.
Bradley outdistanced his teammates to sweep the last 4 station prizes coming into the city: $100 at the Hattieville police station, $50 at the BEL gas turbo-generator, 4 cases of Crystal juice at the Mile 6 bridge, and $50 at Old Belize, as well as the $800 1st prize, a tablet from VIP Wireless and a 4-year scholarship from the Ministry of Education.
Belize enters Round 2 of World Cup 2018 qualifiers
The Belize Jaguars have advanced to Round 2 of the World Cup 2018 Russia qualifiers, by an away goal in the 20th minute from Elroy Kuylen to tie against the Caymans Islands 1-1 in regulation time Game 2 at the Truman Bodden Stadium in Georgetown, Grand Cayman on Sunday.
The Jaguars, presently ranked 164th in FIFA's world rankings, will now gear up to take on the Dominican Republic, ranked 107th according to FIFA, on June 8, and host the Santo Domingo squad for the rematch on June 16th.
Last Wednesday's 0-0 Game 1 draw in the City of Belmopan had put the Jaguars under notice that they needed to score goals if they wanted to qualify to the next round, but it was Caymans' Mark Ebanks who worried Belize fans when he scored first in the 5th minute.
GOB lacks "political will" to fight Money Laundering and Financial Crimes, says U.S. Report
The United States Government, through the recently-released 2015 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report (INCSR) which was tabled by President Barack Obama before the U.S. Congress, criticised the Barrow Administration for lacking "political will" to adequately fight money laundering and financial crimes.
This is a black eye for Belize, for yet another year, as the nation has been designated a "major money laundering country" in the 2015 report.
The report further listed Belize under the "Jurisdictions of Primary Concern", which is a designation for countries considered a high-risk in global financial irregularity.
"A major money laundering country is defined by statute as one whose financial institutions engage in currency transactions involving significant amounts of proceeds from international narcotics trafficking," explained the report.
The document noted that "dirty money" sourced from criminal activity and financial crime is a threat to democratic institutions: "Jurisdictions flooded with illicit funds are vulnerable to the breakdown of the rule of law, the corruption of public officials, and destabilization of their economies". Sounds too familiar to the Belize we are living in!
Getting the job done in OW South - UDP Neglects - PUP Works!!
The Hon Jose Mai, the Village Council of Yo Creek and the residents of Yo Creek this week embarked on a street repair campaign in the village of Yo creek.
For a long time the Hon. Jose Mai and the village Council have been asking the Ministry of Works to do repairs on village Streets. The Ministry of Works has never done so. At the Inauguration of Orange Walk South highway, Hon. Mai spoke personally to the Minister of Works and requested his intervention. The Minister responded that he was unable to repair the streets in Yo Creek because his Ministry did not have money to do so. He referred the Hon. Mai to the Prime Minister. When the PUP area representative finally made contact with Prime Minister Barrow, the Prime Minister told him that his Government was unable to allocate funds for the repair of streets in Yo Creek.
Hon. Mai did not give up, however, and his persistence has proved worthy. Through the kind assistance of Tiechrob and Sons, the Hon Jose Mai procured fifty (50) loads of crushed material from. David Dyck of Blue Creek construction provided two dump trucks to transport the crushed material. The total value of the work being done in Yo Creek is $ 5000.
Budget Presentation by Hon. Jose Abelardo Mai, Area Representative of Orange Walk South
Mr. Speaker, I do not plan to dwell much on the sorrowful inadequacies of the 2015/16 budgetary allocation for Agriculture since it is generally known that this is a reoccurring neglect which is most observable in the deplorable state of extension services being offered to our struggling small farmers.
I say so, Mr Speaker, because, we exhort and encourage our farmers to produce more, and thereafter we undermine their efforts by allowing the importation of competing agricultural goods.
Remember the onions and Belize Marketing and Development with the farmers in the north, Mr Speaker? How can we forget?
Remember the potatoes and carrot farmers again in the north, Mr. Speaker. And, of course, how can we forget the famous Uruguayan rice, Mr. Speaker.
And now it's deja vu all over again with rice, i.e. Guyana rice!!
U.S. keeps Belize on "Major Illicit Drug Producing, Major Drug-Transit, Major Money Laundering" List
United States President Barack Obama has once again listed Belize as a "Major Illicit Drug Producing, Major Drug-Transit, Major Money Laundering" country in their 2015 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report (INCSR).
The INCSR Report "provides the factual basis for the designations�on the major drug-transit or major illicit drug producing countries and money laundering". One of its goals is to highlight efforts or the lack of such efforts to fight the drug trade and combat financial crimes. The designation places Belize and other countries under review by the United Sates Government for assistance and support.
The report declared that Belize continued to be a major transit country for illegal drugs destined for the United States from source countries in South America.
The report noted that the drug trade is carried out through undetected maritime channels and via air.
"�maritime vessels are able to avoid law enforcement detection by moving at night and using the hundreds of cayes (islands) to conceal their movement," said the report, adding that the air transport of drugs is equally concerning as, "Belize has no air defense systems and limited capabilities to monitor aircraft at night".
Hon. Francis W. Fonseca, Leader of the Opposition, Budget Presentation for Fiscal Year 2015/2016
Mr. Speaker, I rise to make my contribution to the debate on the General Revenue Appropriation Bill for Fiscal Year 2015/2016.
At the outset, Mr. Speaker, I offer two (2) preliminary observations based on the introductory paragraphs of the Prime Minister's Budget Presentation.
Firstly, the Prime Minister boasts that this is the shortest Budget Speech he has ever read. He justifies this boast by explaining that he is sparing the Nation the oral presentation of the review of the economy 2014.
While I for one welcome less talk, the House Record should reflect that the true reason for the speeches brevity is its absolute lack of substance.
The Prime Minister, apart from his usual political rhetoric and grandstanding, has nothing to say and the Budget Speech has nothing to offer.
Mr. Speaker, it is not only the shortest Budget Speech, it is the "emptiest" budget speech ever read in this Honourable House.
UDP Town Council fires 7 in Dangriga
The politics of hate, divide and victimization that is the DNA of the United Democratic Party has kicked off in Dangriga, where the Council today issued letters of termination to seven employees.
Reports to the BELIZE TIMES are that letters to have been issued to employees informing them that they are no longer have jobs at the Council. Employees affected include the Secretary for the Works Department, Security Officer, Works Manager, Front Desk Receptionist and cashier in the Traffic Department.
There have been other reports of victimization throughout the country at municipalities which were held by PUP Town Councils - Punta Gorda and Dangriga. The BELIZE TIMES will continue to investigate.

Trade Unions condemn Petrocaribe Act; debate fate of Senator
A meeting of the General Council of the National Trade Union Congress of Belize (NTUCB) took place Wednesday night in Belize City after the passage earlier this week of the Petrocaribe Loans Act, 2015, which passed by a slim six-to-five margin with an abstention by Senator representing the trade unions, Ray Davis. There is a concern that the unions were caught off guard by the presentation of the bill and following the meeting of the Union a briefing with Congress executives discussed the apparent disconnect between Senator Davis' vote and the position of the Congress. But NTUCB members sought to correct those perceptions by issuing a strong public condemnation of what the Government seeks to do, which it has now been empowered to do by the Act - borrow and spend the funds coming from APBEL as part of the Petrocaribe program going back some two years. NTUCB President Marvin Mora said that the Government's actions are completely contrary to the spirit of the passage of the Finance and Audit Act in 2005 and its reformed version in 2010. The Congress has maintained its call for transparency and accountability in Government's financial appears and is opposed to anything that would suggest otherwise, said Mora.
Step-father accused of chopping stepson to death
A domestic dispute late on Wednesday night in Belize City between a stepfather and stepson ended in tragedy when the older man, 42 year old security guard Patrick Castillo of Kut Avenue, allegedly chopped his stepson, 20 year old Jose Jonathan Maderos, as well as his 13 year old stepdaughter by accident. Maderos died at the scene of his injuries while Castillo remains under police guard at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital. The sad story began after Jonathan's mother and Castillo's common-law wife, Rosa Mauricio, left for work at a nearby restaurant and her son went upstairs for a drink of water.
Two Injured and one fatally chopped in the Old Capital
Belize City Police are currently investigating a chopping incident in the Old Capital late Wednesday night.
According to authorities, they are presently taking statement from persons involved.
The victim has been identified as 20 year old Jose Maderos from Cut Avenue, Belize City. According to preliminary investigation, Maderos got in an argument with his step-father, 42 year old Patrick Castillo of the same address.
As a result the feud escalated causing Maderos to receive multiple chop wounds to his body.
Gorgeous Easter Weather is Here - Surveying for The Continuation of The Road & Price Reduction at Xaman 'Ek
I thought I would take a walk yesterday and take a few pictures. The weather is breezy - the Easter Winds are here! - but gorgeous and sunny. And today, Holy Thursday, banks and government offices start closing down early and all of Belize heads to the beach.
Later�I took a ride back down to town. The surveys are placing pegs for the continuation of the road (which now stops at Belizean Shores). There were stakes up to Rojo and Mata Chica and beyond�soon we will have a road all the way up north. Honestly�i never would have believed it.
Not so immaculately cared for is the old Xaman 'Ek - that also housed a Jambel's Restaurant for a while. The price has recently been reduced to land value only.

Chaa Creek and National Geographic - A Mutual Admiration Society
Since 1888 National Geo has done an excellent job of fulfilling its mission to "inspire, illuminate and teach" the world about the world.
And who hasn't been inspired to travel when reading the National Geographic magazine? Many of us got our first taste of wanderlust at an early age from the amazing photographs and stories behind that familiar yellow-framed cover.
So when the respected peripatetic journalist Costas Christ recently lauded Chaa Creek in the National Geographic Traveller we were very, very happy.
The March 27, 2015 article's title, Seven Perfect Days in Belize immediately caught our eye, especially as Mr Christ is something of an expert; a Belizeophile, if you will.
As he wrote, "I have been traveling to Belize every year for more than a decade and am already planning my next trip." He then goes on to explain why, listing English speaking, small, easy to navigate, and other factors such as:
"Local residents are fun-loving, friendly, and appreciate nature; nearly half of the country is protected rain forest� Just offshore lies the largest barrier reef in the Northern Hemisphere� Belize's subterranean rivers make it possible to explore the country's elaborate underground cave system-which might be the most extensive on Earth (National Geographic explorers have been mapping it since the 1960s� There are also dozens of Maya archaeological sites throughout�"
No Cars, No Hassles, Just White-Sand Beaches
"I'm just a beach person," says Debbie Cooper, 63.
With that attitude, it's no wonder that she and her husband, Bruce, 66, have called the tiny Caribbean isle of Caye Caulker 12 miles off the coast of Belize home for the past 13 years.
There are no cars on the island, and it receives a fraction of the tourists that Ambergris Caye, 11 miles to the north, does. Homes and restaurants on the beach face an impossibly blue sea framed by windswept palms. Lobster is a specialty when it's in season.
There are a few stores with clothing, household goods, souvenirs, and groceries. Docks at regular intervals provide places for fishing and sunbathing. Access to the mainland or Ambergris is by water taxi or small prop plane.

'You have to look after yourself in the jungle'
Infantry soldiers from across the area have been learning to fight and survive in one of the world's toughest environments - the jungle. For the fourth part of a series of special reports, defence correspondent SAM BANNISTER joined the troops in their camp beneath the canopy.
Nothing prepares you for the sound of howler monkeys at 3 o'clock in the morning. Reputed to be the loudest animal on land, they earn their name from the loud, guttural howls which can travel for three miles through dense forest.
Their bellows are also utterly terrifying - at least to somebody who was comfortably asleep in their hammock 30 seconds ago.
But it's all part of life in the jungle of Belize for soldiers on exercise.
Around 120 troops of the 2nd Battalion Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment (2PWRR) have been sent to the country on a tough jungle training mission.

HOW "CROSS BUN'S" ARE MADE..., 5min. Another staple for the Easter holidays is the hot cross bun and here in Orange Walk, the tradition has been upheld by a few great bakers. Here the bun is a spiced sweet bun made with raisins and marked with a cross on the top, traditionally eaten on Good Friday. We visited the home of one woman who enjoys making these tasty buns for a quick lesson on how they are made.
EASTER FISH AND VEGETABLE RUSH IN ORANGE WALK, 3min. The long awaited Easter weekend is here and Orange Walk residents are preparing for the long holiday. If you have any doubt, we invite you to watch images of this morning at the market where families were busy shopping and vendors were content.
The garland and the glory, 4min. those words have been drummed into the collective national conscious for 87 years - because the Holy Saturday Cross Country Cycling Classic is more than a race, it is a cornerstone of nationalism, and, in fact, we claim the cross country more zealously and guard that garland more jealously than the French do the famous tour de France and its yellow jersey. And on Saturday - once again - all that goes on the line when just over a hundred riders compete in the 87th riding of the Cross Country.
So, who will win this year? That's what we asked the cyclists when they had a ceremonial ride through the city this evening:
