THE BELIZE TIMES
Judge will allow Bradley Pauman to travel to the US Belize City, Friday, August 12, 2016 Bradley Pauman, an American national who owns and operates Dark Knight Tours, a tour guide business in the Cayo District, and who has been accused of four counts of abetment to commit murder, was granted permission to leave the country today, when he and his attorney Herbert Panton appeared before Supreme Court Justice John Gonzalez. On January 15, 2016, Paumen was granted bail in the sum of $50,000 plus one surety of like amount, after police charged him with the indictable offences. Panton told Justice Gonzalez that his client has been adhering to all the conditions of his bail and today he was asking for a variation to his bail conditions which ordered him not to leave the country, unless he gets permission from the court. As a condition of his bail, Paumen had to surrender all his travel documents to the Belmopan Magistrate’s
Court. Today he asked for permission to leave the country effective, today, August 12, to August 26, 2016. Panton submitted that with the bail condition, he had to surrender his passport and today he asked permission of the Supreme Court to get hold of his passport so he could travel to Minnesota, USA, his home state, for two weeks. Justice Gonzalez granted the application and Pauman would be able to get his passport to travel. Justice Gonzalez suspended all his bail conditions until August 29, three days after he is expected to have returned to the country. Paumen is due back in the country on August 26. Upon returning, he must make sure that the returns his passport to the Clerk of Court at the Belmopan Magistrate’s Court. He is also to resume reporting to the Belmopan Police Station. If he fails to return, his bail will
be revoke and he will be remanded to the Belize Central Prison until his case is tried. Pauman has been committed to stand trial in the Supreme Court in its October Session. One of the persons for who he was charged with the abetment to murder is Michael Modiri, an Iranian businessman with whom he has been in dispute over a property access to his caves, located in Blackman Eddy, Cayo District.
NO OLVIDEMOS LA HISTORIA AZUCARERA
In loving memory of
Mrs Christina Maria Vasquez (Archilla)
Sunrise: 15th September 1935 Sunset: 19th August 1996 If roses grow in heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for us. Place them in our mother’s arms and tell her they’re from 9 of her children. Tell her that we love her and miss her, and when she turns to smile place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for awhile. Because remembering her is easy, we do it every day. But there is an ache within our hearts that will never go away. Sadly missed by your 5 daughters: Luteria, Margarita, Virginia, Teresita and Jovita and 4 sons: Fernando, Alfredo, Anastasio and Miguel. Other relatives and friends. Mom, gone for twenty years but never forgotten. Rest In Peace
Por: David Jesús Castillo El Partido Unido del Pueblo bajo el liderazgo del Hon. George Cadle Price fue exitoso en atraer la azucarera “Tate & Lyle” de Gran Britaña para expandir la industria azucarera en Belice. La expansión fue posible de manera que se logró que Tate & Lyle construya una fábrica moderna en Tower Hill en el distrito de Orange Walk. De igual manera, otro de los propósitos fue de mejorar la fábrica existente en la comunidad de Libertad, en el distrito de Corozal. El Partido Unido del Pueblo bajo el liderazgo de este gran señor y padre de la nación apoyo la industria cañera financieramente. Este apoyo se le extendió al cañero en forma de préstamos a largo plazo con poco interés y en la construcción y desarrollo de cientos de calles de acceso a las fincas cañeras. El Partido Unido del Pueblo apoyo la ligera expansión de la industria cañera mucho antes de 1984. Tate & Lyle estaba recomendando cerrar la fabrica situado en Libertad, Corozal. Ellos decían que no podían sostener el funcionamiento de dos fábricas separado. Los representantes de las aéreas en esos tiempos, el Hon. Valdemar Castillo Sr. y el Hon. Florencio Marín Sr. con el apoyo
LIQUOR LICENSE NOTICE Notice is hereby given that RUI HUAN ZHONG is applying for a Convenience Store Liquor License to be operated at “People’s Shop”, situated at # 68 Albert Hoy Avenue, Belize City, Belize District under the Intoxicating Liquor License Ordinance Revised Edition 1980.
de los representantes del distrito de Orange Walk, el Hon. Elijio Briceño y la Hon. Guadalupe Pech se reunieron con el Hon. George C. Price. Ellos le aconsejaron que no se cerrara la fábrica en Libertad. El cierre ocasionaría una crisis en el norte, explicaron. Esto era la situación especialmente en el distrito de Corozal. Hon. Price escucho este consejo y le escribió a Tate & Lyle. El propósito de esto era hacer que eventualmente los cañeros sean los dueños de las fábricas azucareras. El día 14 de diciembre del 1984 se llevo a cabo las elecciones generales donde el U.D.P. gano bajo el liderazgo de Rt. Hon. Manuel Esquivel. El U.D.P. no le dio seguimiento a las negociaciones que dejo en pie Rt. Hon. George C. Price. Esto causo el cierre de la fábrica azucarera en Libertad. El U.D.P. permitió esta situación devastadora que afectó gravemente y hasta el día de hoy se siente en Corozal Norte donde la mayoría de los ciudadanos dependen de este vivir. Una vez más la industria azucarera está enfrentando serios problemas. El mayor afectado es el cañero. Los presentes representantes del U.D.P. en Corozal Hon. Hugo Patt, Hon Pablo Marin y Hon. Ángel Campos no están haciendo nada para remediar la situación y menos tienen la intención de apoyar a los cañeros. Por lo contrario ellos han permitido y facilitado la división entre los cañeros. Belice es un país con alrededor de 360,000 habitantes donde alrededor de 5,300 son cañeros. En vez de cuidar los intereses de los cañeros cuidaron sus propios intereses. La división solo beneficia a ASR/BSI, el poder de la voz del pueblo se encontraba en la unión. Al dividir se debilito esa voz y cada quien ahora es responsable de ver por su propio bienestar sin un buen interés en común.
23 Young Belizean Architect Receives Trainings on Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Development in Taiwan
Belize City, July 25, 2016 A Belizean Architect, Mr Kristian Chanona, will attend a workshop in Taipei, Taiwan on the topic of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Development for Latin-America in the first two weeks of August of this year. It is one of the two dozens of workshops Taiwan offers every year as a means to help countries develop and contribute to international community. Kristian is proud to be representing Belize at the workshop, and will share Belize’s perspectives and experiences in this area. Kristian was born on Christmas Eve in 1976. In the midst of holiday celebrations during a family visit to northern Belize, his parents, Al and Candy Chanona, unexpectedly had to cross the Corozal border into Chetumal, Mexico for the nearest hospital to welcome Kristian’s arrival. After growing up as a kid in Ladyville and San Pedro, and as a teenager in Belize City, Kristian finally completed paperwork to become a naturalized Belizean at age 17, and is a patriotic Belizean who respects its natural beauty and lifestyle it offers. Due to his family moving, Kristian attended two Primary Schools, two High Schools and two Universities, but benefited greatly by connecting with many people and becoming fluent in English and Spanish. Kristian’s inspiration was his Uncle Ray. An Architect himself, he often visited from East Sussex, England with books and personal accounts which were always a source of encouragement and inspiration. Kristian believes that thru hard work and consistency, anything and everything is possible. Kristian’s interest lies in solving problems in urban architecture, believing that thru applied scientific methods and meaningful artistry, people can create a unique and architecturally pleasing society. Kristian wishes to integrate his values into the workshop so as to get out of it a better insight into matters at home, to help improve the quality of life in Belize from an Architect’s point of view.
