25 Years Ago - Flashback to a Candy Treat of the Past
No, it's not sand that you are looking at. This is Casham (also spelt Caan Sham) an OLD Belizean treat (or candy back in the days) that you cannot find in the stores anymore. You know you are an Old Time San Pedrano if you know what Casham is. Do you know what it is? I tell you it was every child's delight; it is so nice that even adults used to lick it right off the palm of the hand. Casham was so very popular that folks used to make it and it was sold by little kids all over the village. Five cents could fetch you two match boxes leveled with casham. Okay, now to end the mystery. Casham was a kind of candy made with corn. Corn is roasted until light brown and the ground with a regular corn mill. When it was fine and powdery, sugar was added to make this delicious powdery candy.

Help Belize's Teachers Buy Food
Support the BNTU in their courageous and noble quest for good governance, folks. Good governance for country, not party. My name is Andr� Habet, and I am hoping to raise money for the Belize National Teacher's Union who are currently on a nationwide strike in my home country as a result of continued disinterest from the national government in raising their salaries and providing basic benefits. On October 14, BNTU teachers will no longer be getting paid while on their current strike. Due to the miniscule wages they're provided, these teachers have little to fall back on for basics like groceries and other essentials. With this campaign, I hope to raise funds that I will then transfer directly to BNTU's Heritage Bank account, which is 1080719 Heritage Bank Ltd if you'd prefer to transfer money to them directly (they cannot withdraw the money themselves from this campaign because Gofundme has country restrictions).

Scholarship Opportunity!

Government Condemns Torching of the Deputy Prime Minister's Vehicle
The Government strongly condemns the actions of those persons who put the lives of the Deputy Prime Minister Hon. Patrick Faber and his two young children in danger by illegally entering his yard and setting his vehicle on fire. It is welcomed news that no one was injured in this cowardly and despicable act. The current climate created by the teachers' strike is no excuse for this lawless behavior and Government calls on the mastermind and other persons involved in inciting violence to stop and allow the peaceful democratic process to proceed.

DPM Vehicle Torched
Early this morning, news went viral on Facebook that another one of Deputy Prime Minister Patrick Faber's vehicles had been destroyed. This time, it was his Mazda CX-15 - a mid-sized SUV - and it was set on fire sometime around midnight. The arsonist went to his home in the Hollywood area of Lord's Bank - a home which has at least five surveillance cameras on the outside. Seen here, the man, who has not been identified as yet, was caught on camera as he jumped the fence with a bottle of fuel to use as an accelerant. He then poured it all over the Deputy Prime Minister's vehicle - and then went and got a full five gallon canister of fuel - returned six minutes later, doused the vehicle again, and then jumped the fence - after slipping on the surface made slick by all the fuel. The Ladyville Fire Department got the call at 12:15 and Faber posted this video on Facebook of the firefighters putting out the fire. Today, we spoke with the Commander of the Rural Eastern Division, in whose jurisdiction this crime happened, and here's what he had to say about their search for this man:

Teachers Union Agrees To Sit with PM
For his part, Faber posted on his Facebook page, quote, "Regardless of the circumstances, I have not and have no intention of casting any blame on the BNTU and the teachers of Belize for last night's incident at my residence." And government needs all the goodwill it can get - because tomorrow the Prime Minister is meeting with the BNTU for the first time in three weeks. Last night we told you about his invitation to meet on Thursday at 2:00. Well, a government release today reports that the BNTU has accepted the invitation. The main item on the agenda will be the governance issues raised by the BNTU. The government release states, quote, "It is the hope of the Government that the meeting will be fruitful and yield results that will see an end to the teachers' strike."

Strike Goes Into Day 8
Pivotal because the teacher's strike rolled on today - and tens of thousands of school-children remained out of the classroom. The news tonight is that the strike continues tomorrow, going into its eighth day. Today teachers were encouraged to show up at their branch headquarters to participate in unspecified activities. In Belize City, that meant awareness activities. We saw a small group of about 40 teachers proceeding single file along Central American Boulevard at midday where they were handing out leaflets. Under the deathless motto "We shall not be moved" those leaflets re-state the main governance issues and neatly add the 3% - as one of those immovable issues. Tonight, at this hour, the Belize City Branch is having a Vigil at the Memorial Park from 5:30 to 9:00.

Teachers Reject UDP Protest
And tonight at that vigil the teachers may be praying that there are no problems when the UDP holds a protest in front of their union headquarters in Belize City. According to the BNTU, the UDP has been granted a permit to protest and picket in front of their headquarters tomorrow morning until midday. We gather this is not just Alfonso Noble and Yellowman this time. And that's why the BNTU has issued a release saying they are, quote, "very much concerned that the UDP will be allowed to come to the doorstep of the BNTU when we have our members here, daily" end quote. The BNTU asks, quote, "will our members, teachers, (and) supporters�be restricted in their movement in and out of the building by this protest?" End quote. The BNTU concludes that this is, quote, "yet another attempt by the ruling party to instill fear and intimidation." End quote.

Senate Select Comte Meets, Cannot Elect Chair
And before we continue with the news, in an update to the story we just ran about the BNTU's concerns with the UDP's plan to picket their headquarters tomorrow, the UDP has confirmed that there will be no picket tomorrow. It has been called off in view of the afternoon meeting between the Prime Minister and the Union. Continuing now with the news, as we told you last night, the PUP has chosen to boycott the Senate Select Committee, calling it bogus. But, with or without the opposition, the ball is rolling�and the Senate probe which everyone was calling for is underway - even if got off to a patchy start today. That was the first meeting where the 5 committee members were supposed to select the chair for this Senate Committee. Government has said that one of the 3 social partners must chair the committee, but the problem is that both the Labour Senator and the business Senator do not accept the present makeup of the committee - with two UDP Senators.

Chamber Holds Special Meeting To Decide on Shutdown
And the after effects of that impasse are having an effect right now on the Chamber of Commerce's membership, which is holding a Special General Meeting at the Radisson right now. They are deciding whether or not they should embark on a one-day business shutdown in protest of governance issues. The Chamber is considering two resolutions, the first to push through changes to the composition and terms of reference for the Senate Select Committee, and, failing that, effect a shutdown. The second is to effect a shutdown is there is not immediate action on the Public Accounts Committee and the Integrity Commission.

Cops Got Grenade And Gun
Turning now to police news, the Southside strike team came up big this morning when they got a pistol and a grenade at two different locations. The pistol, a 9 millimetre Ruger with 13 live rounds was found this morning on Pelican Street. And then on Banak Street, the strike team found a grenade. The grenade is described to us as non-lethal pineapple type. We note that this is the second grenade found on Banak Street in two years. The first was lethal.

Pair of Dangerous Prisoners on the 'Pan
Tonight, Belmopan Police are a manhunt to find 2 dangerous prisoners who escaped from their custody. They're Lincoln Bejerano, who is on remand awaiting trial for murder, and David Cruz Jr. who is also on remand for the Income Tax robbery which happened 3 months ago. We understand that the men were supposed to have been taken for a routine adjournment before the Belmopan court, but something happened which allowed for them to escape from police custody. We tried to find out more from the police boss, Commissioner Allen Whylie, and here's what he told us today: Allen Whylie - Commissioner of Police: "There were two prisoners I was informed this morning who had escaped from the cell block. One was charged for murder and one was charged for robbery and my understanding is that there were to appear on court today. The individual officer who we deemed to be at fault will be dealt with disciplinary. We believe that proper protocol weren't adhere to in terms of his going into the cell block, removing those prisoners to use the ablution and in that process that was when they were able to escape from him."

Mayor and the Moratorium
There are about 2,000 taxi operators in the city, that number includes dollar vans and the inner city buses. That is A LOT of green plates on the streets and Mayor Bradley and his councillors have been working for years to cut that number down. One of the council's approaches was a 2012 taxi license moratorium. Well after 6 months of consultation with the taxi operators, the city council has decided to finally lift the moratorium under specific conditions. Mayor Bradley outlined those conditions at a Battlefield Park press briefing this afternoon. Darrell Bradley - Belize City, Mayor: "We don't want the city to be flooded with taxi operators so that we are giving a commitment that we will not issue a taxi license unless a person is a bonafide member of a union and they come with a recommendation but we are also asking that union presidents and union members: 1. You hold us accountable to that so if you see someone with a new plate and you see them out and about driving about, then you ask "Mr. Mayor how did he get his license?" And then you yourself are discriminating. You don't allow any and everybody, I like how Mr. Robinson put it you want people of a certain calibre, people who are reliable, people who really chose to make this their livelihood, people who have a vested interested in ensuring that taxi operators have a good reputation."

Taxi's On Board With New Plan
But overall, most of the cooperatives endorse this new system. We spoke to two representatives from two different unions and here is what they had to say. Alexander Daniels - Chairman, Belcan Taxi Coop Society: "Da wa valid move, da wa valid point whe he do, I think this is the best way to go with the exception of the freelance and the ones whe no choose to be in a cooperative. You know for some reason they decide they no like rules and regulations so there will be a two or couple bad apples in any organisation." Courtney Weatherburne: "So that's your only concern at this point?" Alexander Daniels - Chairman, Belcan Taxi Coop Society: "Yes ma'am because we are an established cooperative." Courtney Weatherburne: "How does a taxi operator become a part of a cooperative what's the process?"

Pope Caught With A Kilo
Yesterday, Windell Pope, of Mahogany Heights in Belize City, was caught with 1.1 kilos or 2.4 pounds of marijuana. The GSU searched an empty lot on Santa Barbara Street where they found Pope along with a black bag containing the marijuana. He appeared in the Magistrate's Court today where he pled not guilty to drug trafficking. He was released on bail of $5000, and his trial was adjourned until December 13th.

Cops Charged With Extortion, Not Human Trafficking
Last week we told you about two police officers who were pending charges related to human trafficking. Well tonight we can report that two officers have been charged not for human trafficking, but extortion. They are Corporal Clifford Alvarez and P.C Johnny Coba. They were both charged for extortion and received bail of $5,000 each plus surety of same amount. They are not to interfere with witnesses and report to station every Friday between 8am and 5pm. Best information is that they did not facilitate human traffic, but extorted a the owner of an establishment who may have employed illegal or trafficked persons. Police Minister Hulse said they still brought disrepute to their profession:�

Mac-10 Detained For Questioning in Faull Murder
As the Minister, Hulse did not know specifics about that case, and similarly, he could only speak in very general terms about the John McAfee investigation. The documentary made all kinds of explosive allegations, and seemed to offer actionable information for at least a conspiracy to murder investigation, but we haven't heard anything from police since then. We asked the police minister what he has heard:� Hon. Godwin Hulse - Minister of Police: "I got snippets only but I did here it was rather nasty. I understand just a while ago from my officers that in fact a team was sent up there to have further investigations and that's all I can say at this moment. You know I never give out information that I'm not fully accurate on." Reporter: "There are allegations that one of the girls has been detained and she was at one of the police stations here in Belize City."

Shots Fired Arenal
And, while police are looking for these two men, they are also looking for the person who fired a shotgun blast at their Arenal Police Station a few weeks ago. Viewers will remember that Arenal is famous for the fact that half of the village being in Belize and half being in Guatemala. The suspicion that the gunshot was fired as some protest for the outcome of the OAS investigation which vindicated Belizean lawmen in the fatal shooting of 13 year-old Julio Ruano. Today, the police commissioner told the media that there is no evidence at this time to support that suspicion: Allen Whylie - Commissioner of Police: "Indeed a report has been received that whilst the officers were there they heard the loud sound of a gunshot and they realised that the building had been shot because pellets came into the building. The matter was reported, the scenes of crime went out there, the investigators went out there and that is still active investigation. While we suspect that the shot could have originated from across the border we have not yet confirmed in terms of the identity of who may have done that."

Hot Mix Turns Into Hot Mess
It's been four months since the Lake Independence Boulevard, the street that connects the George Price Highway to Chetumal Street in Belize City, was paved over with hot mix. Since then, the boulevard has seen heavy usage from cars, trucks and buses, and it's not holding up well. For the past week or so, we've noted a couple spots where the road seemed to be breaking apart, one area developed a hump on the side of the road, and another area in the middle actually cracked open. It's a brand new road, and the rule of thumb is that hot mix - if it is well laid - should last for more than five years, or as much as ten years. So we reached out to Romel Berges, whose company RJB Construction paved the road, for some answers. According to Berges, an excavation on the road is taking place to identify the exact problem so that proper measures can be take in its repair. We'll have an update on the state of the road for you tomorrow.

166 New Cops
Tonight, the Police Department has increased its strength by an additional 166 new officers. They passed out of the Police Training Academy this morning in Belmopan, and our news team was there to speak to the police bosses. Its Police Minister Godwin Hulse's first passing out ceremony, and we asked him about the priority policing areas that he is focused on. Here's what he and the Commissioner had to say today: These officers were part of recruit squad intake number 93.

OCEANA Says Seismic Shadow Looms
At the end of September, the Ministry of Economic Development and Petroleum, informed the public that, after approval from Cabinet, it would be conducting a multibeam and seep sea survey in the Exclusive Economic Zone, and away from the barrier reef, atolls and other World Heritage Sites. According to the Ministry, these surveys are part of a larger effort involving the US and Mexico to collect new data on the geological features of the area. And though the Ministry promises that these surveys will be conducted away from any major tourism areas and important fishing and spawning sites, some conservation organizations are not happy. According to OCEANA some of the methods used in conducting the surveys could in fact be harmful to the marine life in the surrounding area. In a letter written to oppose the government's decision to allow the surveys, OCEANA cites disruption of mating and feeding habits, abandonment of habitat, and potential deafness in some marine mammals, as major concerns. OCEANA also mentions that this sort of seismic testing is often the first step in the development of oil and gas fields.
