A Sunday morning walk in San Pedro

This morning, I took a walk down south. It was very cool and the town seemed to be quiet at the time. As I headed towards the beach, there where  people running and exercising or some was just have a walk down the beach. Waking up early in the morning you can hear all different types species of birds in island. This is is time that you can enjoy seeing the sunrise and have the quiet time in town. There's no traffic, there's no rushing on the street and not too much noise. Here are some photo's I took this morning between the hour of 7-8am. What an excellent Sunday morning weather in San Pedro.

It was cool this morning but the sun kept shining through the clowds.

calm water and gloomy morning. What a beautiful morning on a Sunday morning.

The park was quiet and the water was low. 

This morning as I was walking south in front of Blue Water Grill, the crew of Telenovela had just finished rehearsing. On the above picture you can see them on the right middle of the picture. 

The weather seemed like it wanted to rain.

Infront of Crazy Canuck's.

This photo was taken infront of Island Academy.

 It feels great to get up early in the morning and see the island wake up slowly. What a great walk this morning hope the weather doesn't turn out bad today. If you want live music head on to Road Kill at 1pm and Crazy Canuck's at 2:30pm.

Now, it was every Thursday and Friday from 4-7pm with Tull and Brent. Everyone just had a great time at BC's. It has been 16 years since they opened in the area their and such a lovely spot to sit back and relax. While you listen to live music and the day of paradise you just can't get enough of fun. Each October they held the Saga Humane Society dog Halloween competition for Raise funds. Many will miss this spot as its closing on JAN.16th, 2014. On Saturday January 12th they made Ms. Charlyne a special event just for her. The fun things was that she thought it was fundraiser for Saga Humane Society. When they brought here a mini BC's cake She couldn't believe it was a surprise party. She was a graduate At St Catherine's Academy. Then she went to Miami to work on flight attendance for Belize Airlines flying around the Caribbean and Central America. She got married with an Australian. Since 1993 she opened BC's. two year's in Coconuts and two years in Coco Loco.  In 1997 her and her husband open BC's their doors where it is now located South of Blue Water Grill where BC's is.

Cane Farmers Argues For Bagasse

In 1848 Sugar cane was brought into Corozal District from Yucatan. When Libertad Factory opened in 1935, after a declined in the 19 century, More and More land where used to grow cane and after it spreaded to Orange Walk. Today the factory moved to Orange Walk and crushers are used to extract the sugar and more than 41,000 acres of land are used to plant cane. Today the factory is having major problems in the growing of plants. They have a delay on crop season and less time before crop season is over. The year has started and yet no crops are sent to the factory. The Farmers wants an agreement by the Prime Minister to act as a mediator aiming to help the parties reaching an agreement and committee and agreement indicating BSI's Memorandum Baggasse payment. 

In 2010, an MOU was called together in BSI, because they had Financial Problems. BSI signed  an MOU so that they can get 10 million dollars by the Government. At this present time, a Lawyer is working at this matter and Alfredo Ortega– Vice Chair, BSCFA sent out an invitation requesting a meeting with the Prime Minister. It will indicate where they will sign an MOU between BSCFA, BSI and the Government of Belize. In 2011 the prices were $72.17 per ton which was an average of 61 million dollars that was paid to farmers. Baggasse was used to produce electricty after the process of white sugar, brown sugar, molasses and electricity from sugarcane.

 Bagasse is used for electricity. It produces a burning of Sugarcane bagasse which is then turn to water to steam. Then, the steam turns to turbine is and produces electricity.  This process is called Sucrose, extracted and purified in specialized mill factories, is used as raw material in human food industries or is fermented to produce ethanol. Ethanol is produced by Belize Sugar Industries/American Sugar Refining to generate electricity which is then sold to Belize Electricity Limited for a profit. 

When the press release came out from BSCFA, the courage of BSI to try to mislead  the cane farmers into wanting to accept the conditions that payment will be solve on issueing for by-products MA- Memorandum of Agreement, BSI second disagreement was that they are afraid of New ownership and third that there will be no legal prejudgment.But, there is yet an unknown process for condensed matter payment for Bagassee. At this time only discussion are being made by the Prime Minister.  The BSCFA states that it is BSI who has been doing the scandal of the Baggasse. BSCFA has been urging to Cane Farmers to start since December 2012, but they refuse the conditions of wanting to pay for baggasse..  Cane Farmers are to meet again on January 12th.
