Black Jaguars Devours Guatemala’s Selection...Football! UB’s Black Jaguars had the last roar on October 7, defeating a Melchor selection three (3) goals to one (1). But, notwithstanding the outcome when the final whistle was blown, it was indeed their toughest challenge to date. While taking some time to settle into their rhythm, the squad faced a barrage of short skilful passing by the Guatemalans which led to near opportunities early in the first half, had it not been for some solid defending and equally athletic keeping by UB’s man in the uprights, Franklin Polonio. It was not until the 12th minute that the Black Jaguars began their late night prowl with some clinical passing along the left wing, followed by a well executed cross from Benedicto Yatz. He would find the recoiled right foot of Normon Ellington, who torpedoed the ball goal ward from 13 yards out. The Guatemalan Keeper would have none of it; going airborne, he made a spectacular, fully outstretched save. Thirty six minutes into the half, jubilance on the Danilo Marcilo UB’s mid fielder Marshal Eck field as Ellington had the last say and got his name on the score sheet from a Borland assisted cross. It remained a 1-0 game in favor of U.B. going into the second half. When play resumed, a strong challenge by our keeper led to a penalty being awarded in favor of the visitors who made no mistake in converting, leveling the score. UB was not to be denied victory in this outing however, as they combined a matrix of short passes in the middle followed by a spreading of the play to the wings. Their team effort and persistence in pressuring the Guatemalans with this brand of attack climaxed as the Jaguars slotted home two superb shots in the 30th and 35th minutes; the goals coming from Sampson and Lisbey respectively. And so it remained to the final whistle. This interesting report came courtesy of UB's Black Jaguars football team manager Mr. Ian Sangster. As the Black Jaguars continue to prepare for Honduras next year, the team and its technical staff would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Jorge Romero, Sergio Gutierrez, the Physical Plant family and the students who came out to lend support. The UB players thank all for their tireless support as we lift the UB banner high at these engagements, while simultaneously (L-R) Coach Paul Morgan, Student Dean Dr. Jean maintaining healthy P.R.I.D.E.- Personal Responsibility In Daily Effort.

UB Bulletin Joins Digital Library of the Caribbean

The UB Bulletin has joined the collections in the Digital Library Center at the University of Florida. Will Canova, the Center’s Newspaper Projects coordinator, sought permission from UB for the inclusion of UB’s monthly bulletin in the Digital Library of the Caribbean, coordinated through UF. Canova says that the goal of the project is to have each Caribbean country represented by at least one publication. One exciting aspect about this innovative experience is that it is free of cost! The steps are easy and quite simple actually. The University of Florida will harvest the pdfs from our UB website as we make them available or for higher resolution files there are several available methods including FTP sites, portable hard-drive, CD/DVD, or by e-mailing pdfs or quark files. Other worthy publications that have joined the Digital Library of the Caribbean are: The STAR Newspaper, The Toledo Howler and The Belize Ag Report of Belize, The Bonaire Reporter, BVI Beacon, Revue Magazine of Guatemala, several student publications from the University of the West Indies, The St. John Tradewinds of the U.S. Virgin Islands and many others too numerous to mention.

UB’s PLEDGE DRIVE for One of ITS OWN One of UB’s members, Audrey Martinez who is on staff with the Belmopan Physical Plant Office, suffered a great tragedy on November 2, 2009. Her house was completely destroyed in a fire, and two of her ten children were burnt and needed to hospitalization. UB immediately came to Miss Audrey’s aid, showing her much support to assist with immediate needs and comfort as she underwent early days of anguish over the condition of the children, who are now recuperating although still in hospital at the time of this publication. Next, UB’s Office of Human Resources spearheaded the launch of a Pledge Drive, with the goal being to raise $11,000 dollars to build back a house for Miss Audrey on her land in Georgville. UB’s Office of Physical Plant has pledged to provide the labor. So far, HR reports that the response to the pledge drive has been healthy and very enthusiastic, and an update on this will be provided in a subsequent UB Bulletin. The UB community joins hands in offering our best wishes and support to Miss Audrey and her family in their time of need.

UB’s Ambassadorial Series on Belize-Guatemala Dispute Continue The Ambassadorial Series on the Belize-Guatemala dispute, which began earlier this term with His Excellency Ambassador David Gibson in September, has continued in October and November. On October 14th, His Excellency Ambassador James Murphy presented on “Belize’s International Diplomacy, the UN Resolutions and Independence in 1981.” On October 28, His Excellency Ambassador Alfredo Martinez presented on “Negotiating the Special Agreement (On the Referendum Act and the International Court of Justice (ICJ).” Both H.E.

Study Abroad: UB and martin University The Martin University cultural immersion experience in Belize has proved very educational and rewarding. Martin University has worked with the University of Belize over the last three years to provide Martin students with a cultural immersion learning experience in Belize. In this experience, students enroll for a Global Exchange course and meet four to six sessions prior to traveling to Belize. In these classes, students are oriented to the Belizean culture, history, and geography, through readings, presentations by Belizean speakers, and Martin students who have previously traveled to Belize. During this nine-day cultural immersion experience, students have traveled to all regions of Belize. The trip allows students to gain first- hand knowledge and exposure to Belize, its people, and students of the University of Belize. On each of the three Belize trips, students have been provided with a minimum of three lectures conducted by persons associated with the University of Belize. More specifically, students have participated in lectures on the Belizean culture and history, environmental science, and marine biology. In addition to these formal lectures, an extremely knowledgeable tour guide has accompanied the students each day providing additional knowledge. After the trip, students convene back at Martin University for a minimum of two more class sessions to assess and discuss their experiences. These discussions allow Martin University and the University of Belize representatives the opportunity to enhance the cultural immersion experience for the next trip. Students then conduct a University-wide convocation to share their experiences with other Martin students, Martin University personnel, and community members. The students’ responses to a post-trip survey indicated that a vast majority of students are benefiting from the cultural immersion experience, reporting that as a result of the trip, they learned more about the Belizean people, culture, history, and current events. In addition, their responses indicated that a vast majority learned more about their fellow Martin students, their instructors, and themselves. In addition, a majority of students indicated that during the trip they overcame at least one personal challenge. This indicates personal growth as a result of their cultural immersion experience in Belize. Overall, students reported feeling safe in Belize. All students indicated that they would recommend the Belize trip to other students, and a vast majority indicated that all else being equal, they would go on the Belize trip again. In fact, several students from the first trip in 2007 participated in the second trip in 2008.
