Belize wins first game at CONCACAF 2013 U15 Championship

Alvin Sifontes scored the only goal at minute 21 in the second half. These games are being played 35 minutes per half. The Belize Fans present were giving tremendous support to the team and were overjoyed with the victory.

Parliamentarian disrespects House of Representative
The opposition People's United Party (PUP) and the office of the Special Envoy for Women and Children have joined the many Belizeans in condemning the behavior of a senior parliamentarian. During the last meeting of the House of Representative on August 7th, Hon Michael Finnegan launched an offensive remark at the only female Member of Parliament, Honorable Dolores Balderamos Garcia. Garcia had risen to address a national concern regarding the behavior of the parliament's Mace-bearer (Sergeant at arms) Brian "Yellow man" Audinett. He had been documented urinating in public and had been seen exiting the National Assembly Building inebriated and is now facing criminal charges for attacking a civilian and police officer. "Mr. Speaker, I am extremely concerned. I believe that the Sergeant of Arms that we have now, not only has he been found guilty of harm to a woman back in 2006 and charged $150, but I have personally seen the conduct of him being inebriated in these precincts, of him draining the bottle of Belikin outside of this House and of his behavior and of his conduct out in public, urinating in public and now we have a situation," said Garcia, Area Representative for Belize Rural Central. While Garcia was raising the issue before the Speaker of the House, Hon Michael Finnegan interrupted and shouted "Is the lady finished? You are crude; you are a crude woman!"

Destinee Arnold to Compete at the Miss United Continent Pageant
Beautiful Destinee Arnold recently stole the hearts of many, if not all Belizeans, at the Miss Costa Maya International Pageant winning the prestigious title and crown. Destinee is no stranger to pageantry and proudly represented our beautiful Belize to the best of her abilities. Destinee Arnold won the title of Queen of the Jewel Miss Belize in July 2012 and represented Belize in the Miss International Pageant in Okinawa, Japan in 2012. She participated in the Miss Ethnic World pageant in Long Beach California where she won the title of Miss Ethnic World 2013.

CONCACAF Kicks Off First Under-15 Championship
The inaugural tournament is an initiative of President Webb, recognizing the need for a concentrated effort that would support and grow football at the youth level. The Under-15 Championship, which will be held every two years, is expected to strengthen the love of the game among young players and foster a commitment to the sport that will grow along with them. In addition to the sporting advantages of introducing players between the ages of 13-15 to a higher-level of football on a regional stage, the Under-15 tournament is bringing nearly 700 participants to the island during the low-season for tourism. For the Cayman Islands, it is a win-win scenario.

Education in Belize: Getting Back on Track for a New School Year!
No adult, especially a professional, likes to be told over and over what to do, or be reminded of it. In my previous Guidance Counseling Blog, I wholeheartedly applaud and encourage the many teachers in Belize who, of their own accord, are now working enthusiastically to spread the spark of the new movement for much-needed school reform throughout our jewel of a country. We parents admire each of you, teachers in Belize, for recommitting yourselves to the Education process, and for making every effort to strengthen your daily commitments to help your many students learn! In this month's Blog, I have neither messages nor reminders to shout from my soap box, but merely wish to offer a few helpful hints to students and teachers as they begin the countdown to another good and productive school year.

76 Year Old Murdered in Crooked Tree
About half hour ago, Ladyville Police finished up their first afternoon of investigations into the murder of a Crooked Tree Resident, 76 year old Barry Blayney - who is originally from New Zealand. His body was discovered this afternoon when the residents of Crooked Tree realized that he had not opened his grocery shop like he normally does. Police are still finishing up their preliminary findings, and have not released any official information. 7News has learned, however, that Blayney's body was discovered with his hands and feet tied up, with a piece of cloth over his head and his mouth taped up. There were no signs of physical violence, but due to the circumstances, police are treating the case as a homicide. We traveled to Crooked Tree today, where we spoke to the first responders. Here's how they described what they saw: Rudolph Crawford - Friend of Deceased "After 12 today, a young lady by the name of Fiona went to my house and she said that she went to the shop and it was closed, she thought that the man wasn't feeling good so she went by the house by where he lives and she saw this gentleman tied up; it seemed like he was dead already. What I did is to call the police immediately and he asked me if I was sure if the man was dead- I told him that I wasn't sure but that the young lady said he might be dead because he's not moving and not answering, so they asked me to check and call them back. I came and I checked and I saw him on the bed with his two feet tied up together and his two hands and the bedding were covering his face so I couldn't see his face."

Gilroy Usher Sr. Criminally Charged For Harm To Wife
He's offered himself as a candidate for general elections in 2012 and is the PUP caretaker for the Port Loyola Division, but tonight, 56 year-old Gilroy Usher Sr., is not in the news for his politics, he's making headlines because he's accused of beating his wife. Police say that the incident happened on Monday at their home on Madam Liz Avenue. Police have not shared details of the report with the media - and it was not read in court today, but 7News has learned that Usher's wife, 51 year-old Magdalena, alleges that he assaulted her with a pint bottle. Usher was charged with harm, and he was arraigned today before Magistrate Hettie-Mae Stuart. He pleaded not guilty, and Magistrate Stuart granted him bail of $900 dollars, which he was able to meet. She also ordered that he attends the Batterers Intervention Program at the Women's Department. He must also not interfere with the complainant - in this case his wife - and he must temporarily move in with his daughter at Lizarraga Avenue. The case has been adjourned to September 25, but Usher told the court that the matter will be withdrawn at the next hearing, indicating that this information was for the press present in the courtroom. But, if he wanted us to know something, he sure has a funny way of showing it, because, Usher - who is a public figure - dodged the media when he left the courtroom.

The Norwegian Cruise Deal Officially Outlined
For months, there's been buzz and blowback about the proposed cruise tourism project in southern Belize spearheaded by Norwegian Cruise Line. We've heard a diversity of viewpoints, but we haven't heard from Norwegian, which, we gather, didn't want to negotiate in public. But the negotiation is just about finished because two weeks ago on the 31st of July, both sides signed an eight page, 23 point memorandum of understanding. The MOU was released to the media at a two and half hour press conference which finished about two hours ago. Due to time constraints, we can't go into full details on that tonight, but we can provide the broad outline of the project. Norwegian plans to invest $50 million USD Dolalrs in the Harvest Caye project, just south of Placencia which it expects to complete in 2015. They expect to create 1200 jobs during construction and once the project is underway. That outline was fleshed out by an all star cast of government leaders and Norwegian Executives at the event which was held on the sixth floor of the Matalon Building. Minister Godwin Hulse, who heads the cabinet subcommittee on investment and who led the negotiations with Norwegian told the media Government is obliged to welcome investment�

Stevedores Says Union Pres "Pancho" Must Resign By Friday
Yesterday, we showed you the move that is afoot to remove the President and the General Secretary of the Christian Workers Union. It is a dispute which the stevedores have initiated. The stevedores are claiming that Antonio Gonzalez and James McFoy have crippled their negotiations with the Port of Belize, and more importantly, they HAVE NEGLECTED important duties which keeps the union accredited and recognized by law and leaving it indefinitely suspended from the NTUCB. The stevedores have given Gonzalez and McFoy until Friday to vacate their offices peacefully, and they told us that he already accepted their ultimatum. Well, in a letter sent to the stevedores yesterday, that was certainly not the position he and McFoy took. Addressing their complaint of a lack of accountability, both executive members promised to have a financial statements finalized within two months of the date of the letter. The stevedores gave him until Friday, but according to the letter, McFoy and Gonzalez promise that a National General Meeting will be held by March 2014, and that Gonzalez will not seek re-election. Gonzalez gives no indication that he will vacate the office before the election, and certainly not by Friday.

Prisoner Found With Weed Concealed
Last night, 7News told you about the strip search which residents of Kraal Road found objectionable. The Gang Suppression Unit's justification was that there are drug peddlers who use their bodies to hide drugs. Well tonight, 23 years old Jason Anderson will spend time in jail because he was caught trying to smuggle weed into the facility using his body. In February of this year, Anderson was removed from prison and he was taken to the Belmopan Magistrates Court for an adjournment on his murder charge. When he was brought back later that day, one of the prison officers conducted a search on him, and discovered 1 gram of cannabis in Anderson's groin area. He tried to fight off the officer, and ended up injuring him on the knee, but the officer managed to subdue him and call the police. He was charged with drug possession, and he was supposed to stand trial before Magistrate Dale Cayetano. Anderson changed his plea to guilty after the arresting officer testified against him today.

Culture Warriors Head For Carifesta
A delegation of 34 Belizean artists in different genres left Belize today to participate in the eleventh Carifesta which is being held this year in Surinam. It's a big deal because Belize missed the last Carifesta in 2008 in Guyana. So, you can call it a comeback as they are taking the biggest contingent in memory, including dancers, craft-makers, fashion designers, literary artists, visual artists, and a film-maker. We spoke to some of the team before they left today:� Karen Vernon - Carifesta Contingent Manager "We have representations from music bands, theater, fashion in jewelry and clothing, the literary arts and visual arts so we have a broad representation and that is what we're taking with us to Suriname." Denise Enriquez - Marketing & PR, Dance Company "Performing abroad is no new thing for us because we were in Europe for two months last year, so we really understand what it is to perform at that level. Well we have every confidence in our abilities and we're taking our strongest and best dancers. We feel that we'll be able to dance that stage off. It's kind of a change for us that we'll actually be participating in a festival that has other countries that are doing similar things. Jamaica and Barbados have pretty much the same creole background that we have, but we've seen them perform before and we know we can bring it."

Courts Cares, Apparently
This morning a small ceremony was held at the Courts Belize City Branch, where 10 students from across the country each received a full 4 year scholarship. It is an initiative spearheaded annually by the company for over 10 years and today 7news was there to capture this good gesture. Monica Bodden reporting Over a hundred applicants this year, ten students were chosen for a full High School Scholarship all courtesy of Courts Belize. Kovenka James - Marketing Officer "We have a presentation of ten full scholarships given to our participants, it's a full tuition scholarship - full fees, full books. We actually got over 100 applications, we went through them based on their financial need and of course their academic achievements."

Will Harvest Caye Take Ships From Belize City
EARLY ON, we had clips from today's press conference announcing the signing of the MOU with Norwegian Cruise Line to build a port in Southern Belize. One sound-byte we missed is an important one: it discusses the impact the Docking facility in southern Belize will have on the Cruise attractions in Belize City. Belize City has been the center for cruise tourism since its inception. IT may not be the best place in terms of visitor reviews, but it employs many, and, recently, a great deal of investment has been made to upgrade the environs surrounding the Fort Street Tourism village. So will Belize now be abandoned for this new facility in the south with a berthing dock? They say it won't: Colin Murphy - VP, Destination & Strategic Development,NCL "With all companies concerned, this is a sgnificance increase in volumes to Belize which means when it results it's like 400% increase in tax revenue to the country. 400% increase in payment to PACT, to preserve and protect the environment - it diversifies the dependence on Belize City so it takes pressure off of Belize City while keeping all the operators in place. One of the concerns that was raised is if everyone from Belize City was going to go down south. One of our competitors have been cancelling cruises because Belize is full, full, full so there up to five ship a day so we don't think it's going to be any impact to the folks in Belize City at all."

Six Months in Jail For One Gram of Cannabis
Twenty- three year old Jason Anderson, a prisoner remanded on a charge of murder, was sentenced to six months today by Magistrate Dale Cayetano when he pled guilty to possession of one gram of cannabis. Anderson changed his plea from not guilty to guilty after the first witness, police constable Darlon Yarde, who was the arresting officer, testified. The incident occurred on February 5, 2013. Anderson had just returned to prison from Belmopan Magistrate's Court. He was searched by grade 1 prison officer Fernando Teck and the search resulted in the discovery of the cannabis in his groin area. A struggle ensued between Anderson and Teck and during it Teck received an injury to his knee. Teck , however, still managed to subdue Anderson. Anderson is still faced with a charge of harm for which trial has been set for August 28.
