In weekend BPFL football action, at 7:30 on Saturday night at the Norman Broaster Stadium in San Ignacio, home standing Santel’s established themselves in sole possession of first place with 9 points, when they dropped George Town Ibayani, 2-1. Bent Burgess put the visitors in front at the 50th minute, but Marlon Meza equalized for Santel’s at the 67th, and Anthony Gonzalez got the game winner for the home team at the 78th minute.
 
Three games were played in the afternoon on Sunday. At 2:30 p.m. at Ambergris Stadium, Jeromy James remains his teams only goal getter in this four-week old season, as visiting F.C. Belize held the San Pedro Dolphins to a 1-1 tie. Jarro put F.C. in front with his fifth goal of the season at the 54th minute, but Deris “Colombia” Benavides salvaged the draw for San Pedro at the 80th minute.
 
At 4:00 p.m. on a wet and muddy MCC Garden in Belize City, the visiting Revolutionary Conquerors also jumped in front on a 62nd minute penalty conversion by David Trapp, but home standing Belize Defence Force got the equalizer in the 89th from Erwin “Bird” Flores, to salvage the 1-1 draw.
 
Meanwhile, also at 4:00 p.m., down at the Carl Ramos Stadium in Dangriga, the visiting Suga Boys Juventus was bombarding the previously undefeated Wagiya to the tune of 5 to 1. Oliver Wiltshire put Wagiya in front at the 22nd minute, but it was all Suga Boys the rest of the way, with goals coming from Freddy Tun at the 36th, Oliver Hendericks at the 47th and 85th, Aaron McLaughlin at the 50th and Christopher Hendericks at the 69th minute.

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).
