Sugar cane has now began delivering

In the early morning of January 24, 2014 sugar cane has started in Corozal district, Belize. It must continue after an eight week delay crop for "bagasse" payment. Since September of last year the cane farmers has issued a payment of Baggasse. The management of BSI/ASR had presented 18 Branches to work on an agreement between the Government of Belize for wanting to provide payment of Baggasse Since January 8th 2014. Unfortunately, There is another problem which is the road.The final obstacle of the Stakeholders are experiencing the road conditions are not so good which are causing slow movement on delivering the crops to the factory. This is causing over a million dollars to recover because of the delay. The reason why the conditions of the road are in bad shape, is because of last year's rain. Since last week Monday the road has started to be repaired by the Government of Belize. Since it has commenced only only 30% was fixed and the other is not completed as yet.Vice Chairman of the Cane Farmers Association's Committee of Management, says that there's a budget to fix the roads but there's not sufficient to complete all. Farmers were complaining and call the media that the roads are to bad to be accessed.

Alfredo Ortega - Vice-Chair, BSFCA's CoM says he that he wanted 90% of the road fixed but disappointed that the contract was made to many roads and the fund was depleted. Vice chair man thought

that they were fixing the road and his goal post is to move from a different location which made roads amount designated. 10% are for the farmers to have access to the road and the other will be filled with stones until it reaches 40% of the road to be fix and relocate to another area. The heavily load is kept there because its is unable to brought by the farmers on the sugar roads. In the areas where different spots which had the worst conditions are filled with rocks and dump in the potholes. In the amount budget by Government was about 2.5million dollars for only the repairs of the roads.

The continuation of crop season began at the Branch of San Narciso in the Corozal District. It was called for Orange Walk division to burn until Friday not Thursday. Cane farmers explains that all they can do is wait until the condition's stays better. 10,000 tones of cane was lost and approximately 10, 000 Dollars were in lost because of the delay of the crop season.

Elvin Penner Returns to House

Since the outrage of the passport scandal Elvin Penner returns in the house meeting which was held on Jan 22nd, 2014 in Belmopan. As everyone knows that his in the middle of every single passport fugitive. His strike of three- meetings he missed out of six would make him disqualified out of the House. As he attended in yesterdays meeting he was the only far beyond 10 feet of his other representatives entering the in a furtive way. This scandals will not be forgotten and will not be left on a side. In the process of Nationality and Certificate the former minister delivered and incomplete documents which was required to issue the passport was not completed in in full document process.

While Wong Hong sat in a jail in Taiwan, Penner made a process to required passport and certificate issued by him, providing documents which made him fugitive in the country of Belize. Since September of 2013 after the scandal of passport, Penner's his office has since been shut down which was confirmed by UDP Cayo Northeast Executive Committee Chairman Fermin Magana. Penner was then removed from his government portfolio and still receives Seven Thousand per month, drives a fully maintained SUV government vehicle. As his action of showing that the immigration office is a joke by slapping his wrist on his side, the crowd was abacked.

“Yes, he is. Like so many other area representatives, like everybody, he receives a stipend and like so many others, he does have an office open…as far as I understand. That is something that he will have to account for, I supposed, to the Auditor General. We try to make the point that these funds are given to all of us as area representatives for specific purposes, but he is not the only one who is not using the money for the purposes for which they are given. But because of the practices that it is done by way of depositing monies in their accounts, it is pretty hard to be able to ensure that they open offices.” Said Dean Barrow.

Fermin Magana, Chairman, U.D.P. Cayo Northeast Executive Committee was at Belmopan because of other business that took him to Belmopan. His was not in support of Elvin Penner nor he has something against penner. Penner's name is being submitted to run for the area. Mister John August which is working along with Fermin Magana which they are work in separate roads.

Unfortunately, Ferman Magana has not received any confirmation that Penner has an open office at this time. But still receives payment from the government.

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.

Fun Bartners made everyone laugh to their famous drinks. Sunday BC's is known for its famous B.B.Q chicken and is known for its famous live music with Dennis Wolf and Derrick Banos joined with Dennis JR Wolfe. 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. But the Sad news, Since Diamante had put up their sign in early 2012, things started to e-scaled. Not for all. Everyone kept ignoring the sign and had one of their best times in BC's.
