SANTA ELENA TOWN, Cayo,Thursday, September 8, 2011: Three Flags Supermarket,located on the Western Highwayin Santa Elena, Cayo, is theundisputed busiest store inwestern Belize. The store carries a largeassortment of consumer goodsand, true to its marketing slogan:Three Flag is indeed “FAMOUSFOR BETTER PRICES”. It’s always a bazaar insideThree Flags Supermarket ascustomers crowd the store totake advantage of the “BETTERPRICES”. The traffic increases onpayday weekends with patronsarriving from San Ignacio, SantaElena, Benque Viejo Town andsurrounding villages. The clientele is hardly thecustomer purchasing one ortwo items, instead they can beseen with cart loads of goodsmaking long lines at the variouscheckout points inside the store. The store owner, TommyTang, is a naturalized Belizeanfrom mainland China. Hisparent migrated to Belize in

1989. He has therefore beenliving in Belize for 22 years. The family opened the firstThree Flags Store in 1994 in thevillage of Unitedville on theWestern Highway and a few

years later opened a branch inSanta Elena Town. The businesswas later relocated andexpanded into a larger buildingat the present location where ithas been operating for almost

three years. Cognizant of the volume ofbusiness he generates, Tommyinformed that his primaryobjective is to provide hiscustomers with lower prices.“The strategy,” he said “is toprovide customers with betterprices while still making aprofit, not through inflatedprices, but rather through thevolume of merchandise movingthrough the store. It is very hardwork” acknowledges Tommy“Customers see me sweatingin the store every time. I don’tmind the hard work. I wastrained to work hard. Mysatisfaction however is derivedfrom the smile I see on the facesof my customers knowing thatthey are getting better prices.”

Dear Mayor;The Santa Cruz NeighborhoodWatch Committee would like toplace on record its gratitude onbehalf of the Santa Cruz Resi-dents for the recent paving/asphalting of a part of SantaMaria Street, Santa Cruz Area,Santa Elena, Cayo.

Regretfully, no speed bumpswere installed and some motor-ists have taken to speeding onthe said street. It is feared thatwith the reopening of primaryschool in September that schoolchildren and other pedestrianswould be at risk if speed bumpsare not installed.On the same subject, it has beennoted that road users have beendragging construction steel barsfor the back of trucks on thestreets of Santa Cruz. This prac-tice not only damages the streetsbut is also unlawful. We call on your office tokindly address these concerns aspromptly as possible.Thank You for your usual assis-tance. SincerelySigned: Ms. Dolores Miller,President; Mr. EdwardoRequena, SecretaryEd. Note: We paraphrasethe late US President, JohnF. Kennedy, “Ask not whatyour Town Council do for

you, but what you can dofor your Town Council” Youare a neighborhood watch –Then watch your community– You are aware of theenabling legislation – Thenfor heaven sake, gather thenecessary evidence andmake a formal complaintagainst those breaking thelaw and in the processbreaking up your street –Why must the Town Councildo this for you “do whatyou can do for yourcommunity”. Furthermore,the whole of your mainstreet was paved amidst theconstant complaining aboutthe dust. However, there isyet to be any public expres-sion of gratitude for themany thousands of dollarsexpended to address thisconcern. Are you aware otrthe many other communitiesthat would appreciate thegrading, much more, pavingof their street?

A delegation of Belizean LandActivists from an association,known by the acronym“BGYEA”, (Belizean GrassrootsYouth Empowerment Associa-tion) recently visited the UnitedStates to make Belizeans awareof the land problems in theircountry. A few years ago a group ofyoung men who grew up in tBelmopan, the capital of Belize,became frustrated and angrybecause foreigners fromneighboring countries ofMexico, Guatemala, El Salvadorand other Central Americancountries were coming into theircountry squatting and taking

By: Wellington C. Ramos Belizean land by force withoutany response from either thePeople’s United Party (PUP) orthe United Democratic Party(UDP) governments. They suspected that the twomajor political parties wereusing these illegal aliens to gettheir votes in the upcomingelections. Some of these same peoplewere later granted Belizeancitizenships through amnestyand were given full title tothese lands with all rights andprivileges including the rightto vote in Belize. This was occurring whilemany black Belizeans all overthe country of Belize, applyingfor residential lots and farmlands, were being told that therewasn’t any and their applicationswere destroyed in the localoffices where they applied . These young men decided totest the government by doing thesame thing as the newcomersfrom neighboring CentralAmerican countries, they foundfertile land that was availablethat was owned by a group of

Taiwanese who bought it but leftit abandoned for ten years. Theland tax accumulated over theyears was tremendous. When the Belize governmentfound out that they weresquatting on the land, they werephysically removed by thepolice and the Belize DefenseForce as opposed to the illegalaliens who were allowed to stayand ended up getting titlescountry wide. These young men then formedthe Belize Grassroots YouthEmpowerment Association(BGYEA). The vision of thisassociation is to uplift theconditions of “Grassroots”Belizeans. Their mission is to build amultifunctional agriculturalbased community, driven toreduce poverty within itsBelizean membership throughsustainable investments, trans-parent governance and coopera-tive enterprises. The objectives of the associa-tion is to become organized andfunctioning, to ensure that theircommunity land is legally

settled, to increase economicopportunities for the residents ofHarmonyville, the communitythey established and to ensurethat members of the communityare safe at all times, to improvethe infrastructure of the commu-nity and to establish permanentfacilities for the membership. BGYEA was registered as alegal association on July 13,2010 and so far they haveaccomplished the following: a) recruited about 5,000 activemembers b) have been authorized bythe Belizean government tosurvey and distribute 1acre plotsof land to their members at areasonable cost to ensure thatthe necessary requirements arebeing met to receive their leasesand eventually titles to theirproperties. The cost for this process isexpensive for the 1,000 acresthey currently have so anongoing fundraising drive toraise the money to accomplishtheir goals and objectives. Some members of the associa-tion are trained in land survey-ing and other land developmentactivities.

landowner. A $475.00 fees forthe surveying of their portionmust be paid. If they havechildren and grandchildren whowere born in the United States,they should contact the nearestBelizean embassy or counseland apply for their Citizenshipsby descent. The members of the BGYEAare currently in New York Cityfor the Labor Day weekendto meet with the Belizeancommunity and on Friday,September 2, they held a publicforum at the Burgandy Castle inthe Bronx. This event was broadcastedlive via the internet and willbe aired on Tuesday, September6, by Evan “Mose” Hyde Jr.from Krem FM who was presentat the forum. From New York City, they willbe travelling to Los Angeles onWednesday where they will bemeeting with the Belizeancommunity. In Belize today, there areGuatemalans squatting in twovillages which are yet to bedismantled but so far nothinghas been done. Do you know what was goingto happen if a group of Belizeans

were to think about squatting inMexico, Guatemala, El Salvadoror any other Central Americancountry? It would not even lastone hour. People from all overthe world are coming to Belizeand are getting a piece of thisbeautiful country while manyBelizeans are migrating to theUnited States. There is nothing wrong withmigration but I would like toappeal to you as a fellowBelizean, to do any and every-thing to get a piece of Belizebefore there is nothing left. Ihave been living in this countryfor thirty-three years now and Ihave never seen America at itsworst. If the foreigners can seesomething about Belize that theylove, then it is hard for me tocomprehend why we Belizeanscannot see the necessity toobtain a land and home in ourcountry. While living in the city ofBelize and Belmopan and theother towns might be good, toown a piece of farmland isimportant for us to produce ourown food and stop living in a stateof poverty, crime, dependency,hopelessness and stagnation.

recognised benchmarkingauthority such as Green Globe.I think that no matter howconfident you are in yourown in-house sustainabilityprograms, it’s still reassuring tobe tested against the best andmost stringent internationalstandards and achieve thatlevel of approval. Our staffmembers work hard to ensurewe meet our own criteria, andthey are very much involvedin the entire process, fromlooking at ways to improve,generating ideas and providingfeedback from our guests,which is very much a part ofour quality process,” he said.
