Wayne “Red Boy” Uter, who became popular as a disc jockey at Radio Belize in the 1980’s, arrived in Belize from New York City last Thursday for a two- week vacation.
 
Red Boy said that although he has a degree in Broadcast Journalism which he acquired from Crown School of Broadcasting in 1998, he does not work for any radio stations. He is still a DJ, but only does it at night clubs and private parties, he explained.
 
Red Boy revealed that he is more into the real estate business. He is a real estate broker associated with several other real estate brokers working in Manhattan.
 
Red Boy said he got into the real estate business when he first migrated to New York in 1986. He worked as a real estate salesperson for a year before he applied for a broker’s license and was successful.
 
“When I first went to New York I tried to get into broadcasting and after I began attending school, I had to find a job to earn money to survive so — into real estate,” he explained.
 
Besides real estate and being a DJ sometimes, Red Boy owns a recording studio - Black Widow, which he recently completed. 
 
Red Boy said that so far he has recorded the dub poetry of Belizean reggae artists Ras Sherman and Mad Bones.
 
When he returns to New York he plans to record the work of DJ Nioca, an American hip hop artist, said Red Boy.
 
Apart from recording the music of upcoming artists, Red Boy uses the studio to do mixed CD recordings. He and another DJ, Stereo Mars, a Jamaican, are currently working together and their CDs will be marketed through Red Boy’s website. 
 
Red Boy said he is training his youngest son, Roderick, 21, to take over the recording studio. Red Boy’s other sons are Jermaine, 22; Newton, 29; and Brandon, 21. His daughters are Rechia, 20; Devona, 19; and Amber, 18.
 
Red Boy will appear as a guest on KREM Radio’s Wake Up Belize morning show on Thursday, January 11. He will leave Belize on Wednesday, January 17.
 
Red Boy’s first visit home was in 1996.

More questions than answers in murder of Christopher Galvez, 23
• Galvez’ family upset with police’s behavior; Ministry of National Security appoints inquiry team... The first of four murders in the Christmas season is perhaps the most puzzling. A 23-year-old man with everything to live for went out with a friend, ostensibly on an errand, but ended up dead, leaving his 1- year-old son orphaned and his family grieving.
Jim Baxter, rest in peace
• Jim Baxter died today. His real name and picture are in Sports, sin and subversion. I’m glad now that I got the chance to talk to him before the book went to press. Jim Baxter was one of the football personalities who made the MCC Grounds such a wonderful, exciting experience on weekends in the 1960s and 1970s. He loved football and he lived football.
“Panta” gunned down at family’s apartment during evening news
• Residents of the Ebony and Sarstoon Street area continue to struggle with the crushing loss of a prominent sportsman and area resident to gunfire shortly after the Christmas weekend.
Lusby Martinez, 25, the alleged grenade thrower, is charged with murder
• With his head bent low to avoid the media’s cameras that were focused on him, Lusby Martinez was escorted from the police holding cell to the #1 Magistrate’s Court, where he appeared in front of Chief Magistrate, Margaret Gabb-McKenzie, who arraigned him on a single count of murder and other related charges in connection with the City’s fifth grenade incident that claimed a minor’s life in the Kraal Road area of the city.
Standstill at Tower Hill
• Sugar cane deliveries are again at a standstill today, as things took an unfortunate turn at about 1:10 this afternoon, when the Belize Sugar Industries at Tower Hill, Orange Walk, lost power, reportedly after transformer failure.
Gold, silver, lead at Chiquibul
• Caribbean company explores... Belize, particularly the Cayo District, is being explored for its store of precious metals, such as gold and silver, as well as lead and other associated metals—tin and zinc. How much of these metals are buried underneath the surface of the Chiquibul area in western Belize is uncertain, but a letter dated August 15, 1978, made available to our newspaper recently, suggests that there may be more “wealth untold” in The Jewel than Belizeans know.
From The Publisher
• I asked four of UBAD’s former officers to sit with me on New Year’s Day morning. These were Galento X Neal, Ismail Shabazz, Rufus X and Wilfred Nicholas, Sr. These men had joined with me in hosting Norman “Imamu” Fairweather, another former UBAD official, at a dinner in September last year. (Norman lives in New York.) I reported to you on that September reception, pointing out that it was of a social rather than an organizational nature.
In remembrance of Arthur Innis Barrow
• Mr. Arthur Innis Barrow, Senior Pharmacist of the Ministry of Health, was the son of Ebenezer Oliver Bunting Barrow, an able public officer in British Honduras, and his wife, Iris, the first lady of the south side, whose love and devotion to her family and neighbours calmed the rambunctious and disorderly conduct of the visitors of the famous “Water Lane,” and the charming and beautiful neighbours on both sides of the canal.
Female lawyers battle for Belize
• While the men lawyers line up to follow di money, women lawyers in Belize battle for justice. Add the name of Mrs. Audrey Matura Shepperd alongside Ms. Lois Young (the battle for BTL), Ms. Antoinette Moore (the battle for the rights of our brothers and sisters in Toledo), and Mrs. Candy Gonzalez (the battle for clean water, and the rights of river dwellers).
