Semi-pro: There was no welcome party for the visiting Belmopan Bandits at the Michael Ashcroft Stadium in Independence at 7:30 on Saturday night, as home standing Texmar Boys greeted them with a 4-nil shelling and sent them packing back to the Capital City. Ashley Torres got a hat trick with goals at the 7th, 49th and 76th minute. Gilmore Palacio got the other Texmar goal at the 17th minute.
 
Meanwhile, at the MCC Garden in Belize City, also at 7:30 Saturday night, visiting Alpha Barcelona from Orange Walk gained a hard fought 1-nil victory over Forever Strong Kraal Road on an 83rd minute goal from Harvey Cruz.
 
In the third Saturday night game, at the Isidoro Beaton Stadium in Belmopan, Roots F.C. from Belize City battled to a 2-2 stalemate with home team, Barrio Fino. Rupert Smith got both Roots’ goals at the 8th and 31st minute. Barrio Fino’s goals were by Dudley Smith at the 3rd and Cyril Simmons at the 11th minute.
 
On Sunday afternoon at 3:30 at the Marshalleck Stadium in Benque Viejo, the home team Benque D.C. United came from behind to clinch a 2-1 victory over visiting Adventures of Cayo. Brandon Wiltshire put Adventures in front at the 36th minute, but Esvin Carillo equalized at the 58th, and Habib Cano sealed the win for Benque with a penalty kick at the 90th 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).
