There was an accident today afternoon on Iguana Creek Road when a vehicle collided with a horse and buggy which was driven by a farmer from the Lower Barton Creek area, an ultra conservative Mennonite colony a few miles southeast of Spanish Lookout. The farmer was observed laying on the grass beside the road while the wooden buggy box was completely destroyed. The axles with the wheels attached were the only items left standing. The extent of the victim's injuries are not known.
This week, a historic event will occur in the country of Belize. A referendum will be held to determine if Caye Caulker, a tiny but internationally popular island, should move forward with their proposal to legalize the controlled use of cannabis, specifically in regards to its medicinal aspects. According to Kareem Musa, Minister of New Growth Industries, the proposal would then move to the Cabinet, then to the House of Representatives, and finally the Senate. While there are many open-minded politicians and doctors in favor, there are also the churches against it. This weekend will see what Belizeans chose.
