Star shortstop Shadalee Ho (far left) drove home three runs, Karlee Bradley (second from left) banged in four, and All Belize pitcher Kenreen Gillett (far right) went all the way as Steeler Garbutt (second from right) and hisRoaring Creek Grace Kennedy stayed in the hunt for the grand prize, beating down Esperanza Wolverines in the second game of the best of three to decide who runs things in Cayo Softball. This Sunday, title hungry Roaring Creek will hand the ball one more time to Kenreen. Can she bring home the elusive crown?
 
A lonely Louis Ortega leaves the Denbeigh Fuller Stadium in Camalote after his Esperanza Wolverines fell 7-4 to Steeler Garbutt and Roaring Creek Grace Kennedy on Sunday, July 29. But, having taken the first game of the three game series last week, Ortega and his girls still dream of gold. On Championship Sunday at 4 p.m. in Camalote, Esperanza hopes that the big bats of Melinda Blancaneaux and the Spain family boom; and they will trot out fire balling Karet Thompson, praying that she comes up aces this time.
(Ed. Note: Belmopan Emeralds were awarded the second game by default over Camalote Playerade, who were apparently not interested in third place. Esperanza and Roaring Creek are tied 1-1 in the best of three finals series which ends this Sunday, August 5, in Camalote.)

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).
