There is only one way to catch the attention of ruling politicians in Belize when you have a beef, and it is to promise them that you will campaign against them at election time. So, Cousin Francis, read between the lines.

This newspaper invested a lot of time and money in the foundation and sustenance of semi-pro basketball. All our efforts and finances are down the tubes if semi-pro basketball dies. Semi-pro basketball was born in Belize City. Most of the stars and employees came from the Southside.

Tell us this: in the last 15 years, which other industry emerged from the Southside to create new jobs? Now, you are about to finish it off. See you on election day.
