Tragic news tonight – Sir Barry Bowen is dead at 64.

Sir Barry Bowen

A terrible plane crash claimed the life of Barry Bowen, who was piloting his private plane, and the lives of two employees along with their two children, a three year old and a baby.

The plane crashed at an area south west of the DFC Subdivision in a marshy swampy location. The white single propeller airplane was on its back and rescue efforts attempted to turn the plane right side up in order to remove the bodies from the wreckage.

This is tragic news to the country of Belize. The most sincere condolences to the family and friends of the late Sir Barry Bowen.

Lorrie Morgan performs at Paradise Theater

She has an amazing voice, and those inside Paradise Theater got to experience the award-winning songstress Lorrie Morgan's talent first hand this past week. Thursday night was her last night of performance, and The San Pedro Sun was able to enjoy a wonderful night of music in the new Paradise Theater at Reef Village.

Gino wowed the crowd in the preshow...

The show was amazing, and the crowd demanded an encore, which Lorrie and band were happy to oblige!

Look who was at the show!!

Bonnie (Mr. Joe's), Josie (RE/MAX Isla Bonita), Amanda (Sunrise Realty) and the lovely Savannah!

John & Carolyn Carr of Banana Bank Lodge just had to attend one of their favorite singer's shows!

Drumming to raise funds

San Pedro Roman Catholic School (SPRCS) drummers took to the streets of San Pedro in an attempt to raise much-needed funds for their upcoming participation in Band Fest 2010 (March 27). They paraded through the main streets drumming and cheering, with collection boxes for those spectators willing to donate.

The band provides entertainment for all occasions: parades, town events, etc. Your support is greatly appreciated. Call 226-2550 (SPRCS) or 605-9739 (John Thompson - coach) for more information on how you can help.
