HARD KNOCKS Sedi Noh Ready

Wilfred “Sedi” Elrington Ain’t nobody going to accuse Old Father Christmas of being the sharpest tool in the shed. Sedi wasn’t too impressive to start with, and it’s been all downhill since. Hell, he’s got this Guatemala thing so messed up and sideways that you’ve just got to say glory hallelujah that the People’s United Party is back in the mix. If it was up to Sedi alone we’d all be drinking Gallo beer and learning the Guatemalan anthem. Every single time Sedi goes to Guatemala to hold discussions, we lose a piece of territory LOL. What a goof! Thanks to the PUP, Belizeans can now sleep easier knowing that the wannabe Guatemalan Wilfredo is under control. There is NO WAY the PUP will allow Guatemala to continue making a fool of Belize. We don’t play that. We said not one blade of grass and we mean not one blade of grass. So here’s where we are with that. Guatemala has one week to get its act together and to realize that we’re not backing down in the Sarstoon. We may be small but we are mighty and we don’t play with our territory. Don’t get me wrong – this isn’t politics because when it comes to Guatemala we push politics aside. This is about a man who hasn’t got what it takes to deal with Guatemala. Sedi really noh ready! Patrick the Pansy

Patrick Faber So experience has shown that the little runt Patrick is a feisty bugger, good for a few rounds in the ring when he’s under his juice. The thing is that he seems to be pretty good at throwing punches at women. I’m not so sure how he’s going to do in a real political fight. Hey, remember that Patrick couldn’t even beat the intellectually challenged deputy from up north. He was sent home with his tail between his legs, and now he wants it again. This boy don’t learn, does he? He’s going to get beat like a drum by the plump fellow from Belmopan. Every day Patrick posts up a picture with somebody who’s supposed to support him, and a couple hours after that the gordito from Belmopan picks them off, one by one.

It’s not looking too good right about now. See somewhere along the way Patrick’s ego ran way ahead of his ability and he hasn’t been able to catch up. This boy has issues, people. He needs to focus on anger management classes and he needs to do like Nancy Reagan advised and JUST SAY NO. It’s nothing personal, Patrick. In fact the management and staff of the BELIZE TIMES – hell the whole PUP – is rooting for you. We want you to win. Go PATRICK Go. But we don’t live in your little super-boy bubble with you so we know it’s not going to happen. Disclaimer: The views expressed in the above column are not only those of the Belize Times, but probably the whole country. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Belize suspects three Zika cases

Belize City, April 11, 2016 On Friday, April 8, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) issued an advisory warning U.S. citizens that travelling to Belize could expose them to the Zika virus. The CDC reported that a U.S. national who visited Belize from the March 14th to 19th, returned to the United States and began having fever and rash on the 23rd of March. Further tests carried out showed that the virus was not contracted through sexual transmission. The travel advisory on Belize has threatened the nation’s fragile tourism industry. The CDC’s

alert gets international attention and could easily turn away tourists from Belize. The Ministry of Health launched an investigation over the weekend although local officials have expressed doubt that the Zika case originated in Belize. They sought information about the U.S. national’s visit to Belize to examine if there may be other cases of the virus spreading. So far, what is known is that the location under review is in Southern Belize. The Ministry of Health further confirmed that they are investigating three cases, each in the Stann Creek, Toledo and Cayo Districts. Samples have been taken from Continued on page 23

UDP Women Dis Faber!

Belize City, April 12, 2016 The most powerful women currently in the United Democratic Party, Belize Rural Central’s Beverly Castillo, Albert’s Tracy Taegar and Standard Bearer Carla Barnett have served woman fum fum to Patrick Faber, in announcing that they are supporting John Saldivar in the May 29th convention for Deputy Leader. Faber has little support among women in the UDP and it is not hard to figure out why. Faber’s personal life has been marred by scandals involving allegations of abuse of women. His marriage with a humble, educated woman professional fell apart and ended violently when he chose to stalk his wife after she sought refuge at her mother’s house. When Faber could not get his wife’s attention, he allegedly broke her vehicle’s windshield with a cement brick. Faber’s single lifestyle seemed to only fuel the controversies in his personal life like a raging wild fire. In September 2014, Faber made headline news when reports surfaced that a 25 year old woman, his new girlfriend and employee at the Ministry of Education, accused him of violently assaulting her during her birthday party at his house in Lord’s Bank. A Wife’ s report was made to the Police, but it was never investigated. Faber avoided responding to the media’s questions about the reports, claiming that his personal affairs will not be discussed on the media. But politicians should not escape scrutiny, especially when their actions and lifestyle cast a dark cloud over their integrity and values. This is why it is no surprise that the three most senior women in the UDP parliament have chosen not to

car w as dam aged w ith a brick back Faber’s bid. The decision by them not to support the Collet representative also reveals other senior political moves in the UDP. While Beverly Castillo is from Gapi Vega’s camp, Carla is Dean’s favourite and Tracy is Mark Espat’s ally. The real question then is: is Barrow indicating who he supports through his political surrogates? While we expect that the UDP Leader will tell the media that he will sit this one out, that’s not how it really works. Queen Square has 16 votes and where Barrow leans, they will all lean. We also note that Barrow had already established a chain of command and leadership inheritance in his Party. Whenever Barrow would leave the country, Deputy Prime Minister Gaspar Vega would assume the role of Acting Prime Minister immediately. But when Vega also leaves, it is John Saldivar who is always tasked run the country. The writing is on the wall for Faber. The path to his future is in the hands of the UDP women and they will be handing over stiff pay back.

Saldivar Squeals Foul Says UDP special convention rules are flawed

Belize City, April 11, 2016 John Saldivar has accused his Party of not following their Constitution in the upcoming contest for first deputy leader. Saldivar had to swallow a bitter pill on Saturday when the UDP National Party Council met on Saturday April 9th to decide what rules will apply for the special convention. The NPC ruled that the same delegates who were selected to attend the “national convention” held in March in Dangriga to endorse Dean Barrow as leader will be the ones to vote in the race for deputy. Saldivar objected, saying that it was unconstitutional since the selection of delegates for the March convention did not abide by the proper rules. A statement by Saldivar’s team released today explained that the March selection of delegates was not based on the Party’s rules but allowed then because the convention was non-competitive. The upcoming convention is a different case, however, with two candidates, and possibly more by the April 29th deadline. The Saldivar camp requested before the NPC that the constitution be

J oh n Saldiv ar adhered to. The question was put to vote but the majority had different plans and insisted that the same delegates partake in the convention for deputy. Despite the “departure from the Constitution”, said Saldivar’s weak-toned statement posted on his Facebook page, “we accept this decision”. Patrick Faber saw opportunity in the Saldivar fussing and launched an attack. He claimed that the plan to “take away votes from me” failed and gloated that the delegate rule agreed

Patrick Faber to gives him the advantage. The irony with the Saldivar camp’s criticism of the NPC’s decision is that in every prior convention where the major players in the UDP rig the rules to favour their preferred candidate, Saldivar has been silent and allowed the fraud to happen. Now that he is on the receiving end and suffering the same fate as Delroy Cuthkelvin, David Constanza and Melvin Hulse, loud squealing is all we hear.

07 7 Female Student robbed on Princess Margaret Drive Belize City, April 6, 2016 A female student has reported to the Police that she was robbed by a male assailant on Princess Margaret Drive on Monday, April 4th, 2016. On Monday 4th April 2016, the 17-yearold student reported that around 9:30 a.m. she was walking alone on Princess Margaret Drive, Belize City directly across the street from Edward P York High School when she felt someone pulling her gold link necklace from behind her. The student said she held the necklace to prevent it from being taken away. When she turned around, she saw a tall, slim dark complexion male person wearing a black in color T-shirt, long dark blue colored jeans pants, with an orange, red and brown in color rag covering his head up to his forehead. The assailant threatened to kill her if she did not hand over the necklace and fearing for her life she complied with person’s demand who rode away making good his escape. Police are investigating.

New Sarstoon Protocols Presented

A m bas s ador A s s ad Sh om an

Wednesday, April 13, 2016 Representatives of the Government of the Republic of Guatemala have been presented with a set of 11 proposals setting a structure in place for movement in the Sarstoon. Those protocols were handed over to Guatemala’s Foreign Minister Carlos Raul Morales and Chief of Defence Staff General Carlos Eduardo Estrada Perez at a special session last Friday at OAS headquarters at the Adjacency Zone. Chief among those protocols is an undertaking that the channels of the Sarstoon will be freely navigable by vessels of either country without interference or trailing, as well as an agreement by military of both countries to desist from threatening words or unfriendly behavior towards the other in and around the Sarstoon. According to the PUP’s representative in the discussions with Guatemala, Ambassador Assad Shoman, the Guatemalan officials at the meeting did not appear to have problems with any of the protocols, though they themselves did not provide any. “We asked them to reply within a week, because we want to keep the pressure up; we want to make sure that they know that this is a matter of urgency for us,” Shoman told the BELIZE TIMES. As recently as last week Tuesday, a boat carrying rangers from the NGO SATIIM were intercepted by a Guatemalan navy vessel as they travelled on Belize’s side of the Sarstoon, monitoring the Sarstoon Temash National Park. The GAF informed those rangers that they had breached protocol by not stopping at the Guatemalan base to ask permission to enter the Sarstoon. But Shoman says those protocols which were breached are a figment of Guatemalan invention. He told the BELIZE TIMES that “there are no such protocols. These are inventions of some people which have no legal basis”. Until there is some response from the Guatemalan government on the protocols, Ambassador Shoman states that there is an undertaking by both military generals to keep the peace, so to speak, on the Sarstoon. But promises have been made before, and discarded just as readily. Shoman plainly claims that we are hoping that people will keep their word and so on, “We are hoping that truth prevails, but we always have to be on our guard”.

GOB and Segura to PAY!

Wednesday, April 13, 2016 The Supreme Court has ordered Deputy Commissioner Miguel Segura and the Govern-

ment of Belize to pay $70,000 to the family of Yolanda Valencia, killed instantly in a deadly collision in August 2014. One year after the accident a claim for damages was filed by Valencia’s family brought against Segura and GOB, since the Deputy

Commissioner was driving a government-issued Nissan Pathfinder when he allegedly caused the fatal crash. The images of that morning are seared into the memory of many Belizeans.

2016

Captured by amateur video, Segura was seen just after the incident apparently intoxicated, smoking a cigarette and buttoning his uniform pants while feet away Valencia lay dead in a taxi, with driver Yanie Cu screaming out in pain. Just days after the accident, Segura was removed from command, arrested and arraigned after a blood alcohol content test showed that he was indeed over the limit. Interestingly, Segura has refused to accept liability for the accident. The BELIZE TIMES has managed to

Remembering Rotten Ray

Punta Gorda Town, April 8, 2016 Toledo District received an unexpected visit from the United States Embassy on March 22nd. The Embassy sent Major Brett Cable to honor Punta Gorda resident Raymond S. Wood, an Oregon, US native and US Army Veteran, who died on February 14th and was being held in the morgue in Belize City with no clear plans for his internment. Wood’s wife, Janice Wood, was buried in Jacintoville in 2006 after a fall in their Jacintoville house, which Ray Wood had built himself. However, after his wife’s death, Wood could no longer bear to be in their home and he sold it to friends, Hank and Ana Baldizon. After selling his house, he moved to PG Town and rented a room on Front Street. Ana Baldizon was known as one of the more prominent caretakers in Wood’s life, though he counted on the kindness and generosity of many. Baldizon would be the nextof-kin who accepted the coveted American flag, granted Wood for his military service, during his burial. Baldizon wept during Wood’s burial and graciously accepted the flag that nobody else was there to accept on his behalf. “He was really a sweetheart,” Baldizon recalled. “He was very smart.” Baldizon would become worried if she did not hear from Wood and she would seek him out, only to discover he was in his room on Front

Street, and typically had had no sleep because – according to him – there was too much noise. Baldizon often fed Wood, and said he was one of few people she’d ever met, that she could talk to. “I loved that I could sit and talk to him. He really listened.” The Jacintoville resident smiled as she recalled Wood’s favorite food: Chowder. “He loved the conch chowder. That, and spaghetti.” Known affectionately as “Rotten Ray,” he was a fixture at Olemeck’s Central Café, where he went every morning for coffee and then sat with his beer. Oscar Burke and Myra Reyes, who run Olmeck’s Central Café, often cared for Wood who came to sit at the outside table in the chair that became known as his throne, and would have coffee before transitioning to beer. The couple provided food, friendship and comfort to the septuagenarian for years. It was here that he was most often found each day so when he seemingly disappeared from his favorite spot, it was noticed by everyone who knew him. What everyone did not know, was that Ray was being held in the morgue in Belize City because he had no family or funds to be transported back to his beloved PG, to be buried in Jacintoville with his wife.

For this reason, John Rhoads – owner of JR’s Bar and Grill in Indianville

– contacted the Embassy and requested assistance.

obtain a copy of Segura’s witness statement in which he claims that immediately following the incident, “the crowd had gotten larger and more aggressive and for safety reasons Police escorted me from the area. I was taken home where I remained for almost an hour before I was escorted to the Western Regional Hospital where I agreed to do a test of my blood to determine my ethanol concentration. While at home I took a couple shots of whiskey, as I was totally distraught and really affected by what had just happened.” In addition to $70,000 to the family of Yolanda Valencia, Segura and GOB will also have to pay $8000 in costs. The BELIZE TIMES has been reliably informed that Yanie Cu, the taxi driver who remains bed-ridden as a result of that August 2014 accident, has also retained the services of attorney Kareem Musa to bring a civil claim against Segura and the Government of Belize.

Mr. Speaker; scandal and libel won’t answer this! Contributed Mr. Speaker a charge has been laid in this Honourable House today on the member from Queen Square Dean Oliver Barrow that he took 40 million of tax dollars out of the public funds to pay his brother, ex-wife and other family members. Barrow claims it’s for legal fees. My first issue with this charge Mr. Speaker is this: did the member from Queen Square guilty as accused? My second issue, Mr. Speaker is: was it lawful? And third, Mr. Speaker is: was it a break of the high moral ground and fiduciary duty we all are sworn to keep while in office. Mr. Speaker, the voters of Caribbean Shores need to have an answer. Their area representative is demanding such for them. The Belizean people also need an answer and the member from Queen Square Dean Oliver Barrow needs to answer them. Mr. Speaker, I’ve noticed that instead of answering the charge, the member from Queen Square resorted to sending the overdue-for-retirement member from Mesopotamia Finnegan, to do his dirty bidding. The Finny one launched a low down attack on the member from Caribbean Shores but no amount of slandering will answer the charge much less make it

go away. There is no getting around this, Mr. Speaker. Dean Barrow needs to come before the Belizean people and tell the truth. Mr. Speaker, I draw your attention to the hypocrisy of the members on that side of the House. They were the ones who used to raise hell about a loan to Novelo’s for investment in a transport industry. Now look at who is talking now? Look at what the UDP leader has done…with his own family. 40 MILLION tax dollars in nepotism and not one of them got a word to say. If it was wrong then, Mr. Speaker, it must be blasphemous now. I’ll tell you this, Mr. Speaker, not even die hard UDP are buying this, they demand answers. Mr. Speaker, I know it’s hard for you not to be bias. You gotta sing for your supper, and from the looks of things, you can’t do without one. If you are not going to demand an answer then I ask the member from Caribbean Shores to take this matter to the Belizean people to the workers’ unions, to the teachers, to the Chamber, to the Bar, to the Council of Churches, and even to the other political parties. The Belizean people want to know: is the charge true? The Belizean people demand an answer and no amount of slander and malicious name calling in the House to slip and side and duck this away will save you all from the wrath of the Belizean people.

Belize City, Belize, April 11, 2016 -- Caribbean Investment Holdings Limited (CIHL) Earlier this month, the Washington-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), published a large-scale leak of confidential information, which it is alleged originated from the Panamanian law firm of Mossack Fonseca. This information has become known as the “Panama Papers”. The ICIJ suggested initially that amongst the “Panama Papers” were documents indicating the involvement of a number of subsidiary companies of CIHL. This is not true, a fact which has now been recognized by ICIJ, which has removed those references from its website. CIHL would like to make the following completely clear: • CIHL’s subsidiary, Belize Corporate Services Limited (BCS) has never used Mossack Fonseca to provide shell corporations for its clients. • CIHL’s subsidiary, The Belize Bank Limited, did not establish any company for Jurgen Mossack, Ramón Fonseca and Christopher Zollinger. Specifically, it did not establish M.F. & Co. (Belize) Limited. • BCS has never cooperated with M.F. & Co. (Belize) Limited in creating companies and acting as registered agents. • The Belize Bank Limited, Belize Bank International Limited, Belize Corporate Services Limited and Lord Ashcroft deny that they have in some way partnered or have done business with the Panamanian law firm, Mossack Fonseca. All concerned should be aware of these facts, and of the damaging implications of the spread of misinformation, within the financial services industry as a whole and especially within the financial communities of which we are all a part.

THE BELIZE TIMES

EULOGY AMBROSIO JULIAN ALPUCHE 9th January, 1933—9th April, 2016

By Rowena Alpuche Edwards “Perhaps they are not stars but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones shines down to let us know they are happy”. Before I deliver the eulogy, I would like to express on behalf of the entire Alpuche Family, our greatest appreciation for all the Love and Support shown to them during this difficult time. Your presence is testament to the full life that he lived. Ambrosio Julian Alpuche fondly called “Snatcha” was born on January 9, 1933 to Ambrosio Sebastian Alpuche and Petrona Alpuche nee Novelo. He was the second of eight siblings (five brothers and three sisters). He is predeceased by his brothers Gerald and Orlando, and sister Lourdes Johnson. He is survived by brothers Arcadio and Efrain, Sisters Hilaria Pacheco and Lydia Alamilla. Before I proceed you may be wondering about the name “Snatcha”. So here is the history on how he got that nickname as recounted by my Uncle Cado and my Dad Efrain. According to Uncle Cado, he got the name from the movie “Body Snatchers” as he bore resemblance to the main actor in the movie, which was popular at the time, as well as his excellent skill for snatching the ball when playing basketball and football. These two sports were his passion and he found every opportunity to enjoy them. In 1955, during an Easter vacation in San Pedro, Uncle Snatcha met the love of his life Ignacia Gomez fondly known as Nacha and on May 24, 1957 they tied the knot right here at St. Ignatius Church. As Miguel mentioned, they were the first couple to get married in this new Church Building and Uncle Snatcha remained a committed Catholic who was very active in the church choir. From this union came Daughters: Bertha Alpuche Reyes, Mrs. Victoria Rivero and Mrs. Elizabeth Chirinos; Sons: Ambrosio Alpuche Jr, Ger-

ald Alpuche, Orlando Alpuche also known as “Gordo”, Marco Alpuche also known as “Tony”, Alfredo Alpuche also known as “Hilmar”, Jose Alpuche, Miguel Alpuche and Israel Silva. Uncle Snatcha attended St. Ignatius Primary School but to help his parents to provide for his other siblings, he went to work at Hollywood Magazine as a messenger, then went on to work with the late Bushin Perdomo and Mateo Perdomo where he learnt the trade of welding - a true testament to the love he had for his parents and siblings. He worked at different establishments until he was able to build and develop a successful body works business on Antelope Street. While working at the Eden Theatre, Uncle Snatcha, known for his swiftness, agility and snatching saved the life of a young man by catching him as he fell while working on the roof. Throughout his life, he remained dedicated to his profession yet humble, and was strong minded, especially when it came to his passion for politics. He was well known in the neighbourhood and was always willing to lend a helping hand when needed. It would be remiss of me not to mention the especially strong bond that Uncle Snatcha shared with his two brothers. They were not only brothers, but true friends. Even after my Uncle Cado moved away, my Dad and Uncle Snatcha continued their weekly Saturday rituals of meeting to share a drink…or two. From the loving relationship of 61 years with my Aunt Nacha, a large family grew to include 22 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren who he loved deeply and spoilt them whenever possible. There were also those special persons who were part of his everyday life and who he loved like his own children. One such person is his daughter-in-law Yoli who cared for him over the years. There were also good friends who meant a lot to him – “Ratta”, Ms, Gertel, Ms. Birdie, Junie Patnett, Mr. Pete and deceased friends Gaspar, Chencho, Rudy and Milo Paz Sr. As the great Bob Marley once said, “The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively”. May the Angels fly with you Uncle Snatcha, until we meet again.

It’s time to Protect Whistleblowers By G. Michael Reid “Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism, which can sometimes save lives and often save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged rather than stifled. We need to empower federal employees as watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in performance.” - Barack Obama In November of last year, the government of Trinidad and Tobago tabled a bill in their Parliament designed to tackle corruption by introducing fines and jail-time for persons who seek to hinder others from coming forward to report criminal activities. This bill drew widespread approval from citizens and in support of the bill, Attorney General of the twin islands Faris Al Rawi had this to say, “Far too often this nation is riddled with very public allegation resembling certainty of crime, corruption, murder and mayhem. Everyone suspects who is guilty but no one steps forward to testify to guilt bearing evidence. The reason is clear. The fear of victimization and reprisal for honest exposure is not only perceived but real. Witness protection is a mere platitude in reality. Corruption occurs blatantly in public institutions and state enterprises and yet no trace can be testified to by a single living soul.” Al Rawi went on to state, “Madam Speaker the dominant feature of the proposed Bill is the protection and immunity from civil and criminal suit for those so termed Whistleblowers; who may want to disclose forms of “improper conduct” within their places of employment – be it in the public or private sector.” Here is a country obviously serious about tackling the scourge of corruption that has plagued the entire world, but in particular the Caribbean and Latin American countries.

THE BELIZE TIMES

MY PERSPECTIVE By Dolores Balderamos Garcia

THE STIRM BROUHAHA

Pastor Scott Stirm of the National Evangelical Association of Belize (NEAB) has really stirred up a huge ants nest recently. I am still shaking my head at the arrogance, intolerance, cultural and religious imperialism, neo-colonialism, and, yes, racism in this entire sorry melee. How come in this day and age do we still have the level of ignorance and disregard for others that has been manifested by this incident? I am not at all surprised that the present controversy has grown long legs. My understanding is that Garifuna leaders met over the weekend in Dangriga and have prepared a strong statement for April 12, Garifuna Survival Day. Mr. Stirm has veritably been heedless and uncaring. As a Belizean I feel hurt and disappointed, and I can surely imagine the outrage felt by Garifuna Belizeans at such heedlessness. What do we call it? One journalist asked Mr. Stirm if this was his version of expressed religious supremacy, to which the reply uttered was an inane defense of being attacked because of his firm stance against LGBT rights and other conservative positions he has taken. I look at the press conference held by NEAB on April 1st, and this was no All Fools Day at all in their staunch support of Mr. Stirm. President of NEAB Pastor Lance Lewis, whom I have always respected, unfortunately continued to call Garifuna spiritualism and the Dugu ceremony witchcraft in quoting from the book of Deuteronomy in the Bible that no witchcraft should be practiced. Let me state what is obviously known, with no disrespect to Pastor Lewis – that even the Devil can quote the Bible to his purposes. So I am not impressed when Biblical verses are pulled out to defend positions which right-thinking people see as clearly indefensible. Said Pastor Lewis: “It is our strongest belief and conviction that any and all practices, spiritism, ancestral worship, tradition, etc. that contradicts the Biblical teachings of Jesus Christ and scriptures must be forsaken at the foot of the cross.” He also said that evangelical Christians have the right to remain within their culture while simultaneously rejecting spiritual practices that contradict evangelical Christian foundations and convictions.” He surely has the right to his sincerely held view, but who is to say if

and when traditions and practices contradict Biblical teachings? Clearly Scott Stirm made this determination on his own and leapt to the position that there is such contradiction. I cannot agree with him at all. It is facey beyond measure to call other persons’ cultural practices, traditions and religion bad names and to condemn them in the name of Christianity. Likewise, I really think that there is an apparent misconception on the part of Pastor Victor Enriquez, who came out in favor of Mr. Stirm, that respect for ancestors is “the devil”. And what a great pity that Felipa Apolonio has expressed that she “chose to let go Garifuna culture and everything else that is contrary to the word of God.” Who says that one cannot have one’s cultural practices and be a Christian at the same time? They cannot be mutually exclusive in my view. Next we look at the Stirm non-apology. “If I were to stand upon a platform of religious freedom, I would have every right to stand my ground concerning statements rooted in my religious convictions. However, in my compassion and love for my dear Garifuna brothers and sisters I willingly waive that right in order to humbly apologize for any offense caused by my words....I will continue to pray for my dear Garifuna brothers and sisters, but I stand upon the eternal word of God and I will never back down...if anybody has a problem with that I would urge them to get on their knees and ask the one who wrote it.” This is condescending, not heartfelt and certainly intolerant. He insists on the acceptance of only his own interpretation of the eternal word of God. As a Belizean and as a Christian person I reject this completely. The Christianity that many of us profess could never be so arrogant as to be intolerant of others’ cultures, religions and traditions. I have to agree wholeheartedly with Father Matt Ruhl that we must be mindful, thinking, respectful Christians and human beings. We must buttress our faith with intellectual understanding, he exhorts us, and if we do not understand something then we should keep our mouths shut. Of course Father Matt was more diplomatic in how he expressed this message, but I feel compelled to call out the Stirm cultural and religious imperialism in stronger and no uncertain terms. I surely hope that this whole Scott Stirm brouhaha can serve to make us more heedful, tolerant, and respectful, more human and more kind to one another. There is simply no room in Belize in 2016 for our shared realities and experiences to be otherwise.
