But it won't just be the same meet and greet sessions every Wednesday. Williams also told us about other plans to enhance their community outreach program.

Williams says someone has already expressed interest in helping the police transform the Jane Usher Basketball court for the kids in that area.

Today the National Primary School Basketball Tournament kicked off in Belize City and the Minister of state in the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports was there to deliver a brief speech to the little athletes. We spoke to the Minister of State Hon. Elodio Aragon who told us about the importance of his presence at this short opening ceremony and about his efforts in finding the funds to enhance the sporting facilities in the country.

While on the topic of negligence in the area of sporting facilities we asked the Minister of State about an incident that occurred on the MCC grounds last week. At a high school game, a Wesley College Student was seriously injured when he fell in a ditch surrounding the field. It's part of an effort to refurbish the field – an effort, which we are told has not left footballers too happy at all.

Aragon told us he wasn't aware of the ditch before last week but now that it has been brought to his attention he will work to try and remedy the situation.

Hon. Elodio Aaragon - Minister of State, Ministry of Youth Sports and Culture

"I was out there on Monday at the MCC, I personally did a walk through with the CEO of the ministry of Youth Sports and Culture along with Mr. Allan Sharp, who is the chairman for the national sports council. We took a walk throughout there because I really wanted to get a first-hand view of what the situation was. And I will tell you this; I saw the ditches out there and my first question, how long have these ditches been there? So we are working on that and that is one of my first priority I need to do is to get that MCC grounds up and running for people to use and cover these ditches. We need to run the pipping I got to understand for the new lighting system that would have been placed there. We are working on that and I ask our young people who use the facility to just bare in mind this is not something that I just seen 6 months ago. It is something I've seen now and it's something we are going to make sure we fix the problem in terms of that."

"How soon?"

Hon. Elodio Aaragon - Minister of State, Ministry of Youth Sports and Culture

"Well as soon as you can right now a vase them to give me a quick budget in regards to what it will cost us for us to put in the PCV piping that will house the electrical cables then we proceed with covering the ditched back."

Aragon could not give us a timeline for when the MCC grounds will be regularized.

Northside police got a major weed bust yesterday morning. They found a bucket stuffed with 13 plastic bags weighing 1.4 kilos, which is about three pounds. The bucket was in a abandoned structure on Handyside street in the Fort George area.

And, southside police are reporting a gun seizure bust 6 days after it happened. At 8:40on January 7^th., police on motorcycle patrol on Ordonez Street in the St Martin's area, saw two men approaching. When they saw the cops, one of the men dressed in a white "hoodie" tossed an object in the nearby bushes and they both ran away. Police searched the area and found a 9 millimeter pistol and a magazine with 9 live rounds.

There was an accident on the northern highway near the Santa Elena border late this evening. Details are sketchy but we know that no one was killed. There were however, serious injuries when an SUV crashed into a car between Belmont butane and the Slaughter House. The fire department had to remove one of the victims from the car – which is why it is completely opened up.
