Season 2 of Five-A-Side Football Tournament comes to an end!
The San Pedro High School and Island Citizen Sporting Club crowned six champions during the finals of the Five -A-Side Football Tournament on Sunday, July 24th at the Angel Nu�ez Auditorium. It was a busy day as large crowds came out in full force to support their favourite teams. The teams that rose as champions in their respective divisions were Bayern Munich A Under 11, Inter de Milan, Under 13, Real F.C Jrs Under 15, San Pedro High School Blazers Under 17, Spice Girls, and Scorpions F.C in the senior category. The last game, and most anticipated, saw the two top senior teams facing off. This was a grueling match between Belize Pro Divers and Martha's Ice Scorpions F.C. Both teams wanted the win but it was Scorpions F.C who out edged their competition, taking the game in a 3-1 point game. Pro Divers had to settle for the second place trophy and prizes, while Scorpions F.C walked away with the grand first place trophy and prizes.

Basil Jones Summer Camp brings fun and education to youngsters
Camp Basil Jones is in its third week of their youth education summer program at the Basil Jones Educational Centre in the Bacalar Chico Reserve. A group of 22 children enjoyed a long week of activities that included a balance of both fun and learning. The annual program which started on Monday, July 4th and will end on Friday July 29th is divided into four individual camps and spread over four weeks of unique educational summer experiences for children. On Thursday, July 21st, the children were visited by members of the Blackadore Caye Management Staff. Biologist Valentine Rosado provided the campers with a lecture about the formation of the island, and the importance of preserving the natural environment. He even spoke to them about the turtle nesting that happens on the area. The educational lesson included a walk by the beach, where the group of children were shown examples of erosion on the shoreline. "We need to take care of the environment, specially the mangroves, which are plants that hold sediments and sand in place. If we don't have these elements on the shoreline, then the sea just washes the sand away and thus, the beaches begin to disappear," said Rosado.

Two AC units donated to police department
The San Pedro Police station is currently undergoing a series of transformations that seeks to enhance its functionality and appearance. On Friday, July 22nd, in the presence of Mayor Daniel Guerrero and Councilor Gabriel Nunez, Estevan Perera, along with Cindy Staines, donated two new air conditioner (AC) units to the police department. On hand to receive the donation was Officer in Charge of the San Pedro Police Sub-Formation, Superintendent Sandra Bowden. According to Staines, who partners with Caye Supplies, Super Buy, and Bachi Engineering Corporation, the donation was part of her company's social responsibility to contribute to the community. "Since we have a new brand named "Daikin", we decided to donate these units to help the police department improve their conditions. These AC units are Japanese state of the art innovative technology designed to withstand the climate of this island," said Staines. The two unit models are a Daikin 900BTU and a Daikin 12000BTU, both equipped with inverter systems. Another benefit to having inverter systems is that these units are energy efficient, saving up to 30% in energy consumption.

CYDP Life Skills through Sports and Adventure Camps
The third in a series of annual summer camps is well underway at the ITVET Compound in Belize City. The Under-19 Life Skills through Sports Camp is one of the major activities through which the Conscious Youth Development Programme (CYDP), under the Community Rehabilitation Department, Ministry of Human Development, Social Transformation and Poverty Alleviation, continues to positively engage inner-city youth of Belize City. Over the years, the CYDP summer camps have become highly anticipated among young people in the at-risk communities of Belize City and surrounding municipalities. During the summer break it is very important for young people to be positively engaged in activities that stimulate their growth and development. These camps provide participants with the opportunity to develop life skills, such as conflict resolution, anger management, self-esteem, teamwork and healthy decision making, while utilizing sports as the main method through which to teach these skills. But more than positively engaging participants, these camps help to break the barriers and stigma created by labeling of gang communities and on-going rivalry. The camps provide a safe space for its young participants to have positive interactions and build relationships with each other, while having fun playing their favorite sports.

Climate Prediction Center's Central America Hazards Outlook July 28 - August 3, 2016
Over the last 7 days, areas of eastern Nicaragua, El Salvador, and parts of Guatemala saw above-average rainfall, while most other areas saw suppression of rainfall. The easternmost departments of Nicaragua observed 100-200mm of rain, and similar totals were also observed in parts of Guatemala and El Salvador. While moderate rains were observed in eastern Guatemala, they were still well below normal totals. Some of the driest parts of the region included western Nicaragua and central Honduras; less than 10mm of rain was observed locally. As a result of this and several preceding weeks of poor rainfall performance, monthly rainfall deficits are on the increase in western Nicaragua and the Gulf of Fonseca region of Honduras. Less than 25% of normal rain has fallen in the driest areas of western Nicaragua and southern Honduras over the 30-day period. Vegetation indices look poorest through eastern Guatemala, western Honduras and the Gulf of Fonseca region but don't yet reflect poor conditions for other dry regions. In addition, soil moisture is reported to be very low in many central departments of Guatemala.

John Saldivar not resigning
I understand that Love FM has erroneously or maliciously reported that I have or am planning to resign. Let me state categorically that I have absolutely no intention to resign from political life. On the contrary, I am even more determined to carry on with my dedicated service to the people of Belmopan and the country of Belize. The last two weeks I have been the victim of malicious fabrications, absurd conjectures, wild speculations and insinuations and character assassination undoubtedly aimed at destroying me politically. I have taken all that has been thrown at me in stride because I have done nothing wrong and am not guilty of any act of corruption or subversion of justice as is being suggested in certain quarters. I have done nothing that I am ashamed of and nothing that would warrant my resignation.

Deadliest Hurricane to Hit Belize
As many as 2,500 lives lost in Belize City. Take a look at this feature story created using a Geo App. "The storm, which lasted about an hour and a half, left some houses roofless and blew down some fences and trees. St. John's College was situated by the seaside up at Loyola Park over Yarborough Bridge. The building was a large, three storey, wooden structure, and went down in the first storm, as also did St. Andrew's Hall, which was situated corner of Prince and Albert Streets. After the storm passed, people came out to view the wreckage. Then something strange and unusual happened. The storm swung right back, but with more force, bringing a tidal wave about 10 feet high, which swept over the city of Belize, leaving 2,000 dead and thousands more homeless. The most devastated area was the Yarborough area. " The 1931 hurricane also coincided with The Great Depression, setting the residents of Belize City back decades as they struggled to rebuild their lives. The era was marked by an intense struggle to uplift the working class and unemployment.

International Costa Maya Delegates began arriving today.

Calypso Rose Wins WOMEX Award
Congratulations, Calypso Rose! She has won the 2016 WOMEX award for being outstanding in the music industry. That picture was taken here in Cayo at the Soul Project. Her video for Calypso Queen tells her story, and it's a great song too. "In a style known equally for its outspoken messages and its party vibe, it truly takes a great Calypso artist to stand apart for their mastery and relevance, as Calypso Rose has done, for over six decades. In her long career, Rose has transformed calypso in many ways. Her most obvious achievement involve making the calypso scene more open to women: the scale of her talent and success made her impossible to ignore, leading to unprecedented prize wins, including the Trinidad Road March and, the highest of all, the title of Calypso King - renamed the Calypso Monarch in her honour. Rose is also a musical innovator of her style. She pioneered changes such as shortening her songs to three verses and writing fewer songs every season - both of which became the norm - and in her personal repertoire, she also explores styles such as soca, punta, reggae and ska. As a living legend and someone who has done so much to revolutionise her field, we are extremely pleased to be able to present Calypso Rose with the WOMEX 16 Artist Award."

CAYE CAULKER EQUIPPED WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART AMBULANCE
Minister of Touristic Affairs, Manwell Ereba, confirmed to Rastaman News this morning that Caye Caulker has been equipped with a state-of-the-art ambulance, befitting its importance as one of Belize's major tourism destinations. "San Pedro cannot have it all," Ereba stated. "After La Isla Bonita procured their ultra-modern firefighting buckets, I had to make sure that La Isla Cari�osa did not stay too far behind." Hailed as an emerging tourism destination, Caye Caulker is the second most popular destination for overnight visitors in the country after San Pedro. That is why, according to Ereba, the island must have modern health facilities. "This ambulance is not only remarkably embarrassing in its design, it is also environmentally friendly," boasted Ereba. "In one stroke, we have beefed up the island's health services AND we have done our own little bit to combat climate change."

The Flowers File, the Saldivar Retort
Superintendent Mark Flowers, he may be in jail tonight - but his name is ringing all over the country - and not because he's accused of molesting a 14 year old girl - but because of the allegations he's hurled at police minister John Saldivar. Though he never mentioned Saldivar by name, Flowers sat down with us for just under 40 minutes and ranted and railed at his Minister, and his police superiors who he says are doing the Minister's bidding to railroad his career and smear his reputation. To be able to draw the inference that it is Saldivar he is pointing fingers at, we'd have to take you back to the beginning of the episode, which he says started a few weeks ago. Here he is in the interview sharing his reasons for suspecting that his Minister meddled in Police business to get him removed as the head of GSU. We also have Saldivar responding and completely denying that allegation, calling Flowers just a desperate man trying to deflect blame from himself:

Supt. Flowers, The Undercover Operator
And as we told you, according to Mark Flowers, the only reason he was able to have that conversation with William Danny Mason was because he was trying to gain the trust of this alleged con-man. He said yesterday that after discussing it with Acting Commissioner Russell Blackett, he decided to approach Mason, not as a policeman, but as a commercial farmer who was trying to make connections to grow his business. Its quite a story, and tonight, we have a little more from our interview with Flowers in which he claims to have been able to get evidence of one of Mason's fake Belizean documents. Here are those comments: Daniel Ortiz: "This is the first time we're hearing that you were an undercover police officer for the investigators of Danny Mason. They seem to have buried this information."

Bradley Says Cops Conspired Against Flowers
We backtrack now to yesterday's arraignment. All of yesterday, we'd been hearing from multiple reliable sources that Flowers was going to be charged with 2 counts of rape. That's what, according to our information, the police initially served on him, but they later changed it to unlawful sexual assault. Yesterday, before his client was arraigned, attorney Dickie Bradley told us that they both suspect that the reason the police changed the charge was to ensure that he couldn't get bail right after his arraignment in the Magistrate's Court: Dickie Bradley - Attorney for Mark Flowers "Normally when it is a minor the charge is usually unlawful sexual intercourse which would be the equivalent of the old carnal knowledge. There has been an amendment, confusion as usual but he is in fact on the charge sheet charged with rape. Now interestingly enough the client control act has been amended that you cannot get bail for carnal knowledge but in fact rape is a bail able offence in the magistrate court."

Flowers Faced An Allegation of Sexual Assault in 1999
And while Flowers is facing this very serious charge against him for molesting a child who , to hear him and his attorney tell it, he has an above average chance to get off. And, it wouldn't be the first time Flowers has eluded an allegation of sexual assault. We've been doing our digging and found that in 1999, Flowers, then an Assistant Inspector in charge of the Dragon Unit Belmopan was accused of the sexual assault of a female police recruit. The recruit alleged that Flowers went to pick her up at the Police Training Academy at night and she left voluntarily - though against Academy regulations which prohibits recruits from leaving the compound. She returned an hour later crying, alleging that Flowers had sexually assaulted her. No criminal charges were brought, but Flowers did face internal pressures, and left the Department. The female recruit also ended up being forced out of the Training Academy. He turned up the following year working at Belize Central Prison. When the prison was privatized, he was absorbed into the scenes of crime unit as a civilian staffer, and later rejoined the police as a Sergeant. From there he quickly regained ranks and ascended with lightning speed to Superintendent under the UDP. Last year we asked him how he got promoted so quickly:�

No Judgment, CJ Re-schedules
About a month and a half ago, Gay Rights Activist Caleb Orozco, and his organization United Belize Action Movement, or UNIBAM, called out the Chief Justice, Kenneth Benjamin for delaying judgement more than 3 years now. He wants the Chief Justice to deliver the judgment on his challenge to Belize's Sodomy Laws. A few days later, notice went out that the judgement would be handed down on July 27. Everyone waited until this morning, only to learn once again that the Chief Justice had postponed the delivery. He's now scheduled it for August 10. Reports say the CJ was ill in mid-July.

Teenager Charged For Murder of Mother of Three in Belmopan
Police in Belmopan have charged an alleged teenage murderer. Two nights ago we told you about 34 year old Regina Williams who was viciously killed in front her home in Las Flores area Belmopan. She had been socializing with some individuals at La Cabana night club the night before. But sometime after 1:30 am, she left in the company of those same individuals. It was between then and 8 am the following morning that she was murdered in front of her house and left there half naked and with severe injury to her head. Police are still trying to determine whether or not she was raped before she was killed. However police today proceeded with the information they do have at the moment and arrested and charged 19 year old Salvadoran Josue Ortiz for murder. They told us more:

Chester Norales, Again!
The name Chester Noralez has been making crime news since the mid 90's when he was a teenager, and tonight he's back in the news. The 36 year old resident of Fern Lane is accused of snatching a gold chain from Franz Usher's neck. Yesterday Usher was at the corner of Jasmine and Oleander Streets when Noralez rode up, ripped his gold chain from around his neck and rode off. Police who were in the area pursued Noralez and apprehended him on Oleander street with the stolen chain. When he appeared today before Magistrate Deborah Rogers. Noralez pled not guilty to the charge. The prosecutor objected to bail on the grounds that Noralez has a charge of burglary for which trial is pending and he also knows the victim and there is the strong possibility that he will interfere with him if granted bail. Magistrate Rogers upheld the objection and denied Noralez bail. She remanded him into custody until August 31.

Paumen Will Stand Trial
Accused Child Molester Mark Flowers is this week's headline story; last week's was accused murderer, conman, kidnapper and extortionist William Danny Mason. But, a few months ago, the big story was the large scale American tour operator Bradley Paumen. He's already committed to stand trial in the Supreme Court for allegedly orchestrating a murder plot on his neighbour, Michael Modiri and 3 other persons, and now, he has been committed to stand Supreme Court trial once again. This time it's because of those charges of attempting the pervert the course of justice, and conspiracy to pervert justice. As viewers will remember, it dates back to an attempt to plant an unlicensed rifle in Michael Modiri's vehicle. Modiri was eventually cleared of that legal mess, but Paumen ended up being charged along with his Mechanic, Lisburn Anderson, Belmopan Businessman Jahan Abadi, and Korean American Hyang Chong Park.

Climate Change the Struggle Is Real
OCEANA and the World Wildlife Fund today held their second annual seminar called The Nature of Energy vs. the Energy of Nature. Now, it may sound like just another dreary talk shop in a hotel room with bad pastries and cold coffee, but the organizers hoped to wake up participants and the wider community with the dire message that climate change and its consequences are real and it requires everyone, form government to the grocery shopper to pay attention and act. Here's how they put it:� Nadia Bood - Climate Change Advisor, WWF: "It's extremely important given the threat posed by climate change. It's a forum where we can get together and dialogue about issues related to climate change and how best we can try and adopt our actions and our efforts to promote a greener development pathway that will help to minimize or at least buffer against some of the threats that will be coming from climate change events."

Minor Charged For Killing John Jay
Dangriga Police have arrested and charged a 16 year old minor from Belize City for the murder of popular singer/songwriter John Jay Rodriguez. The 34 year old husband and father of one was gunned down in early June inside the Havana Club and Entertainment Center in the Heart of Dangriga Town. Initial police investigations revealed that three men armed with a pistol entered the establishment to commit a robbery. But when that backfired, they turned right back and bolted through the front door, but not before firing a single indiscriminate shot at the crowd which caught John Jay. He died from a single gunshot wound to the head. Two days ago, they arrested and charged a resident of Belize City for that fatal shooting. He is only 16 years old and so we cannot reveal his identity.

Cops Bust Island Weed
San Pedro police have taken a few pounds of weed out of circulation on the Island. Yesterday at midday - acting on Special Branch intelligence - island police searched a San Pedrito apartment room occupied by 27 year old painter Kurt Jason Cruz. They found 4.144 pounds of weed and he was charged for drug trafficking. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years imprisonment, plus a fine of ten thousand dollars. And then, today, San Pedro Special Branch and CIB found another parcel of marijuana at the Tropic Air Cargo section. This one contained one pound of weed and was labelled as found property

Belmopan Pastor Almost Accompanied Lu
He almost went with Pastor Llewellyn Lucas�that's the story Belmopan Pastor Job Lopez told us yesterday. He says that Lucas called him on the morning of the 15th - and he was with the two other pastors - who would later accompany him to Mason's house - only to be kidnapped together with Lu. When their blindfolds were removed, Lucas had disappeared, and this is when it is believed he was beheaded. Well Job Lopez almost accompanied them - and he told us that it started with a call early that Friday morning from a desperate sounding Pastor Lu:� Job Lopez - Almost Went With Pastor Lu: "I heard my phone ring and it was Pastor Lucas calling me and I said what can I help you with he said well I need you to come. I said where he said well I am at TV station, Plus TV. He says okay what we are doing and he said we need to go live, I said what for, he said come here I will explain to you. So when I heard that I heard that I heard like it was a desperate call. So I went there and he said we need to go live and we talk to pastor Wade and he said we can't go live right now because I don't know what you going to say so you need to anticipate what you are going to say then we go live so we could put it for next week. So pastor Lu say let's put it for next week; so I went out with them and he said you don't want to come along with us I said no I have groups to do, I have my work to do."

Police United Get Ready For CONCACAF Champions League
The Police United FC play their first game of the CONCACAF Champions League in less than three weeks. On drawing day two months ago, the team drew a tough card when they landed in group E- effectively matching them up with Mexican powerhouse Pachuca and Hondura's top club Olimpia for the first round of the tournament. So how will Belize's Police United fare off against these top league teams? It is their first time ever representing Belize at the Champions League tournament. But as green as they are, the team is hopeful. They are currently in their 7th week of intense training and the executive has been recruiting both local and international talent to reinforce their squad. Today we spoke to the head coach and even got a chance to meet some of the players on the roster as they prepare for the upcoming game against Olimpia, which is to be held in Tegucigalpa Honduras on the 16th of August.

Police United Say Not Involved With Mason Megabucks
And keeping in line with football financing, when the matter of accused murderer William Mason first came into public view, one of the most widely reported masks he wore, was that of a football financier. That is actually how Hon. John Saldivar said he came to know Mason in the first place. Mason, as has been widely reported, donated several thousands of dollars to Saldviar's football club- the Belmopan Bandits. But there were also reports of Mason contributing to other football clubs in Belize. So was the Police United FC ever on Mason's payroll? After all he did appear to be rather friendly with senior members of the Government, particularly within the police department. Today the media asked Club Manager Superintendent Andres Makin Sr. just that. Duane Moody: "In terms of accused murderer Williams Mason that several football clubs have received donation sponsorship from him; is the Police United one of those clubs?" Supt. Andres Makin Sr. - Manager, Police United FC: "I would prefer that this question be given or be asked to the president who is Mr. Grinage he is the one that would be in a better position to say."

BTB's Big Plan For Corozal
San Pedro, Placencia, and the Cayo District are tourism powerhouses with tens of thousands of visitors passing through annually. But, what happens to the lesser-known tourist spots around the country? Well, now the BTB and the Ministry of Tourism want to boost the traffic in destinations like Corozal, Caye Caulker, and the southern parts of the country. 11 days ago, the Tourism officials launched their fix for the Corozal District, and Daniel Ortiz took a closer look at it today. Here's that story: The tourism upgrades are being done in partnership with the Inter-American Development Bank. The Government officials have another destination launch planned tomorrow for the Mountain Pine Ridge, Chiquibul, & the Caracol Complex. We'll be there and we'll have that story for you in tomorrow's newscast.

Corozal Cops Looking For Shooter
And Corozal also has to deal with the other side of keeping tourism prospects up - and that is managing appearances when it comes to crime. The town saw a shooting and home invasion yesterday. Corozal police told us more:� The suspects demanded money and wore shirts over their faces, so getting a positive identification has proved difficult.

UDP Councillor Shot At His Home In Corozal
The peace and tranquillity of the Altamira area located in the Corozal District was disrupted last night after two masked men forcibly entered the home of well-known Corozale�o and current UDP councillor, Guillermo Arana, in an attempt to rob money from him. Our news team visited the Arana family in Corozal earlier this morning where we were informed that at the time of the incident, Arana was at home in the company of his wife and four minors who were all witnesses to the horrific scene. Reports indicate that a struggle ensued between Arana and one of his attackers, however, both men were armed and as a result, Arana received two gunshot wounds, one to the right hand and the other to the abdomen. Roger Arana - Brother: "Last night around nine o'clock my mother received a call from my little brother that they had shot my older brother, I went to his house and we found out that there were two persons with masks that came to his house and apparently there were only my niece and my nephew and two other kids that were visiting them and they heard the gun men that were armed approaching the door and they pointed the gun at my nephew..."

Did The Now Head Of GSU Served As Mason Personal Body Guard?
Since the murder of Pastor Llewellyn Lucas on Friday and the detention of well-connected conman William Mason and four others, numerous reports have surfaced of who wine and dined with him and who all his acquaintances allegedly are. And amongst that list, according to former Commander of the Gang Suppression Unit, Superintendent Mark Flowers, is Inspector Glenn Caliz the same man who has replaced Flowers as head of the Gang Suppression Unit. Flowers, among other things, revealed yesterday that Caliz used to serve as personal security for Mason. But, says Flowers, while one man may have shot a few rounds at Mason's shooting range at Outback Ranch, the body of the GSU did not.

Police Says Seventeen Year Old Minor Rode Into Their Vehicle
On yesterday's newscast we told you about a seventeen year old minor from the Corozal District who is alleging that he was deliberately knocked down by police officers while riding his bicycle to work on Monday afternoon. But while the family is accusing the officers of being at fault, tonight we can inform you that authorities are saying just the opposite as they are claiming that the minor was the one who accidentally rode into the police mobile after failure to stop while the vehicle was traveling across the road. Dennis Arnold - Officer in Command, Corozal Police Station: "On Monday, whilst the police vehicle was travelling from north to south direction on the Olga Marin Drive, at the corner of Olga Marin Drive I think its Hidden Hill Street, a minor was riding a bicycle but that junction is a "T", this vehicle on the straight have the right of way..."

Prices Continue On The Rise According To SIB
The Statistical Institute of Belize today published its latest statistics on prices and external trade for the country of Belize. First we take a look at the consumer price index for which the report shows that prices increased, on average by 0.9 percent for the month of June 2016 as it stood 103.7, compared to 102.8 in June 2015. For the first half of this year, a year-to-date inflation rate of 0.5 percent was recorded. Despite higher prices for both regular gasoline and diesel fuel during the month, the 'Transport' category saw an overall decline of 0.7 percent. The effect of these price increases was overshadowed by premium gasoline prices and international airfares, which remained lower than they were one year ago

Imports And Exports Continue To Decline
Belize's total imports for the month of June 2016 were valued at $168 million, decreasing 11.2 percent or $21.2 million from imports for June 2015, which totaled $189.2 million, this is according to the latest figures released by the Statistical Institute of Belize today. The report shows that Imports destined for the 'Machinery and Transport Equipment', which accounts for more than one fifth of all the country's imports, was a major factor in the decline for June 2016. This category, which spiked to $47 million in June of last year due to a major purchase of equipment, saw a drop of $11.5 million to $35 million in June 2016. 'Mineral Fuels and Lubricants', on the other hand, saw its first monthly increase for this year, rising by $6 million from $13.6 million in June of last year to $20 million for June 2016. This was primarily due to the fact that diesel imports doubled when compared to last June. A shipment of premium gasoline was also received in June 2016, while none was imported during June of 2015.

Former GSU Boss Expresses Mix Emotions
Former commander of the gang suppression unit, Superintendent Mark Flowers is tonight sitting in a cell at the Hativille Prison. He stands accused of two counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a 14 year old girl but Flowers maintains his innocence and calls the allegations made against him a malicious move on the part of a high government minister. During an extensive and very revealing interview made yesterday, Flowers admitted that he is saddened by it all.

Belize Eco-Kids Summer Camp - Final Farewells Day 8
There's always a feeling - of release, of relief, of ending, of starting over. Suddenly, going home doesn't seem so fun after all. Suddenly, you wish the camp lasted two weeks instead of one - or even better, a month! A year! Let it go on forever!!! At Chaa Creek, that feeling multiplied a hundredfold. After only eight days of magic, the spell ended and we were looking ahead at boring old home again. Yes, Chaa Creek was physically hard and demanding - climbing up mountains, horseback riding through the jungle, trekking through the bush, playing dodge ball, Maya Ball, having water-balloon fights, swimming and canoeing through the river and splashing around in the pools�

Amid the palms and cool sea breezes, a rare 'cri de coeur' is spotted
I was sitting on the deck this morning, cup of coffee in hand, bright sun on my face, a steady breeze rustling the palm trees and the waves lapping against the dock when I encountered a cri de coeur. I hadn't encountered one of those, face to face, in years. Although, with election season in high dudgeon back in the States, cri de coeurs are flying back and forth like bullets on a battlefield. No, I wasn't bird watching. The cri de coeur that I encountered was on Page 9 of the Sunday New York Times Arts & Entertainment section. It was a reference to an article in The Atlantic magazine passionately titled "Stop Making Film Adaptations of Philip Roth Novels." The larger story from which this was extracted is about producer/director James Schamus ("Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," "Brokeback Mountain") who, of course, recently has made a film adaptation of Philip Roth's novel "Indignation."

Returning to the Nursery at Wildtracks
When I first came to Wildtracks, in September 2015, I had no idea what I was in for: how amazing, challenging, and educational it would be. I had just graduated from law school, and thought that I would be a tangential character, feeding and cleaning and generally rehabbing with little interaction with the animals. I didn't have a zoology or veterinary background, and I wasn't sure I would be able to learn how to care for the animals in a meaningful way. I was sorely mistaken. Little Cas the spider monkey made it clear that he needed me - if only for milk, warmth, and rest. During every walk, play session, and snoozefest he barged his way into my routine, with his big eyes and even bigger personality. His nips and hugs, stronger with every day, brought us closer. But it was the string of night shifts that really cemented our bond. He met my initial anxiety and concern with playful squeaks, wriggly hugs, and peaceful sleepy-eyed milk munching. Walking around a sleepy baby spider monkey is inexplicable, and even more so when you catch a pink sunrise over a mirror-calm lagoon--even at 4:50 in the morning. At the end of my month, I'm not sure who needed who more. Holding him was second nature, and it was strange to walk around without him resting on my chest. I didn't realize that when I left, I would have an intimate knowledge of the animals with whom I worked

So many people release balloons without realising the environmental impact
Did you ever wonder where your balloons go when they are released? Birds, turtles and other animals commonly mistake balloons for food, which can harm or even kill them. Here's a photo of more than 100 balloons collected at Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in NJ (Credit: USFWS), and then another of a bird strangled by a balloon string (Credit Virginia Aquarium Stranding Response Program).

Belcampo Belize Offers Fantastic Fare from Its Own Farm
Belize has it all.

Shyne Wants to Be the Prime Minister of Belize, Working on New Album
Former Bad Boy Entertainment rapper Shyne has been living in his home country Belize since his release from prison in October 2009. He's kept a low profile until last May where he performed via video satellite at the Bad Boy Family Reunion show in New York. But the 36-year-old rapper is plotting big moves. In an interview with Bossip, Shyne revealed that he's in line to be the Prime Minister of Belize. "I'm going to be in Parliament in Belize very soon. I'm going to be leading my nation and contributing to my nation with all the capacity that I have," he said. "My father is the right honorable prime minister, and he's retiring and I'm succeeding him and my uncle. So I can continue in the legacy of my father and serve the people." "I love Belize. I love what I do for Belize. Everyday I change somebody's life," he added. "My father is the right honorable prime minister of Belize for the last three, consecutive terms, and that gives me access to resources, to power and influence to help poor people, to help people with limited income, people that are struggling and suffering the way I used to as a child."

Tomball family hosts baby boy from Belize receiving medical care
Houston is known worldwide for being the premiere location to receive top medical care due to the Texas Medical Center.

Edwin is a 10-month old from Belmopan City, Belize who was born with three holes in his heart due to Congenital Heart Disease. His mother Anita says since finding out about her son's condition, she has been doing her best to have him helped and healed. "I found out when he was two weeks old. The pediatrician that tends to him, she told me there was no one in Belize that helps babies heart problems and we would have to go out of the country .We were admitted that day, and she took us from the hospital by ambulance to Belize City where the cardiologist was. They did an ultrasound on him and they told me he needed operation. If not, he wouldn't live that much longer."

Belize's top court expected to rule in sodomy law case
The Belize Supreme Court this week is expected to announce a ruling in a case that is challenging the country's sodomy law. The case focuses on Section 53, a statute in the Belize criminal code that criminalizes anyone convicted of "carnal intercourse against the order of nature" faces a sentence of up to 10 years imprisonment. Section 53 is an artifact of Belize's colonial past that dates back to the 1880s. The Belize Supreme Court heard the case in May 2013, but is still awaiting ruling from Chief Justice Kenneth Benjamin. Caleb Orozco is a Belizean gay activist and executive director of the United Belize Advocacy Movement or UniBAM, a public health advocacy group in Belize for the LGBT community. Orozco became an outspoken gay rights activist at the age of 31 after attending a workshop for gay men and people living with HIV/AIDS at a public conference in Belize City.

Ancient canal network found under Mayan temple in Mexico

The Best Tropical Cocktails To Sip This Summer
I've been fortunate enough over the last few years to travel to many tropical locations; and summer in Toronto, with its soaring temperatures makes me long for beaches and island drinks. Here are some of my favourites: Coconut Mojito- I've been to Belize several times and love it. One of my favourite spots is the Victoria House, an absolute gem of an island resort on San Pedro on Ambergris Caye. This is an award winning property, a great place to relax, and where I was introduced to a 'Coconut Mojito'. I found a recipe that is very close to their coconut mojito: 6 fresh mint leaves muddled with 3 lime wedges and 1 tsp of brown sugar in a cocktail shaker. Add 1 � oz white rum, � oz Malibu coconut rum and 1 oz cream of coconut. Fill the shaker with ice, stir vigorously and strain into a tall glass, top with club soda and a mint sprig.

Mexican village uses fireflies to halt deforestation by local logging industry
In the village of Nanacamilpa, tiny fireflies are helping save the towering pine and fir trees on the outskirts of the megalopolis of Mexico City. Thousands of them light up a magical spectacle at dusk in the old-growth forests on reserves such as the Piedra Canteada park, about 45 miles (75km) east of Mexico's sprawling capital city. Piedra Canteada in Tlaxcala state isn't a government-run park, but a rural cooperative that has managed to emerge from poverty and dependence on logging with the help of the fireflies. Five years later, the park's cabins and camp spaces are sold out weeks in advance, with the attraction especially popular among families with young children and couples seeking a romantic setting. "The amount of fireflies you see is impressive," said Carlos Landa, a Mexico City native who visited Piedra Canteada this week. "Something that I also find quite impressive is their synchronicity: to turn off and turn on, that is something really spectacular. It's like Christmas in the forest."

Exploring Belize with Moon Guides and Lebawit Lily Girma: The Essence of Belizean Culture and Its People
Belize - gorgeous waters, perfect for diving and snorkeling; ancient ruins; rainforests and caves; the tallest waterfall in Central America; wildlife and marinelife; and a deep culture that entices you to explore more deeply. Affectionately called "The Jewel" by locals, this is a destination worth exploring. I recently read Moon Guides Belize, by Lebawit Lily Girma, and let me tell you - I'm impressed. Moon Guides are some of my favorite guidebooks, for the deep look into local culture, in addition to interesting things to see, do, taste, explore. I've long followed Girma online, for her intriguing travels, her extraordinary writing and photography, and her deep look at culture. A former lawyer, she's the expert on the Caribbean region - I'm constantly referring travelers to her sites and books for advice. So when this book came out, I knew I'd love to share it with our Wandering Educators. It's that good.
