Pascaline Duchène (La Défense) s’est imposée de quelques roues devant le peloton, ce vendredi 29 juillet à Gros-Cap Petit-Canal. La maillot jaune conserve donc sa place de leader au terme d’une 2e étape sans grands éclats et où le peloton a roulé sur un rythme de sénateurs.
Sur ce circuit plat et venteux de Petit-Canal, la course a été un peu plus animée que la veille, sans toutefois avoir vu d’échappée se former. Le peloton, bien contrôlé par les coéquipières de la maillot jaune, a roulé très tranquillement, pensant sûrement que des coureuses tenteraient de sortir. “C’était une course plus belle par rapport à hier car il y a eu plus d’attaque de là part de nos concurrentes” constate la maillot jaune Pascaline Duchène. ” Le but pour moi, c’était de rester au…

Tour de Guadeloupe féminin
Pascaline Duchène a frappé de nouveau dans la 3e étape entre Goyave et Pointe-Noire ce samedi 30 juillet. La maillot jaune a démarré dans les Mamelles, seule la cadette Emma Glorianne Alger a pu la suivre. Sauf dans la descente vers Mahaut que Duchène a dévalée à tout berzingue. Elle colle 3 min à Glorianne Alger et plie sans nul doute le Tour avant la dernière étape à Saint-François.
Après l’étape très timide de la veille, le public s’attendait à du dombré dans celle du jour, avec l’ascension du col des Mamelles au programme. Et il n’a pas été déçu puisque qu’un premier écrémage s’est déjà opéré dans la montée de la Lézarde. La maillot jaune y perdra deux coéquipières d’ailleurs. Puis c’est un groupe de 11 coureuses qui abordent les Mamelles en tête. Duchène a encore deux coéquipières qui mènent le train, avec Glorianne Alger et Dugamin…

Acting prison boss Jermaine Anthony should let the Minister of Public Safety know how he feels about the deplorable conditions with which inmates have to contend and under which prison officers must work, says Franz deFreitas.
DeFreitas, the United Progressive Party Candidate for St. John’s City South, was responding to a Daily Observer article in which the Acting Superintendent of Her Majesty’s Prison (HMP) details a number of concerns affecting the penal institution.
These include the increased number of mentally ill persons being sent to the facility.
The news article quotes Anthony as saying that, at present, there are 15 such inmates suffering from an array of mental-health issues.
However, neither he nor his staff are trained to deal with these persons; nor do they have the resources or facilities to house and provide the necessary mental-health care for them.
Reportedly, the condition of some of these persons has deteriorated drastically since they are not receiving proper treatment.
Anthony is appealing to the courts to intervene in this situation. He says several of those with mental conditions have been on remand for extended periods, or have committed minor infractions, or are unable to afford bail.
Reportedly, he has also made his plight known to the Director of the Clarevue Psychiatric Hospital, whose response, he told the newspaper, has been “unacceptable.”
Meanwhile, a source says the courts can only recommend that these inmates be kept at the Prison for committing a crime and suggest they receive psychiatric treatment; after all, Clare Vue is not a prison.
In spite of these complaints, Anthony appears not to have informed the Minister who can effect changes and identify a facility to house mentally challenged inmates.
Accordingly, deFreitas says the acting prison boss’ concerns should be directed to Minister Steadroy “Cutie” Benjamin under whose portfolio the institution falls.
Other issues affecting the prison include the longstanding reality of overcrowding; the ratio of prison officer to inmates; and an inconsistent water supply.
Infrastructural problems run from a non-functional surveillance system; an overloaded electrical system; insufficient bathrooms; poor ventilation and structural deterioration.
In terms of the prisoners’ welfare, Anthony reports there is an absence of rehabilitation programmes and inadequate internal medical-care facilities.
The prison was constructed in 1735 — the name by which many people refer to the facility. It was intended to house 150 inmates; however, the current count is 238 males and female.

President Biden tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, days after he logged a negative test after taking Paxlovid to treat the virus, he said on Twitter.
Biden, 79, posted on Twitter that so-called “rebound” cases like his happen “with a small minority of folks.”
“I’ve got no symptoms but I am going to isolate for the safety of everyone around me,” the tweet said. “I’m still at work, and will be back on the road soon.”
President Biden announced he tested positive again for COVID-19 on Twitter.
Biden first tested positive for COVID on July 21, and subsequently tested negative Tuesday night after being administered the drug Paxlovid.
White House Physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor said in a letter on Saturday that Biden was among “a small percentage” of Paxlovid recipients who saw their symptoms “rebound.”
Biden tested positive on an antigen test and will isolate in case he is contagious, O’Connor.

Will Smith broke his silence for the first time since he dealt comedian Chris Rock a slap during the live broadcast of the Oscars on March 27.
Smith has been condemned widely for his actions which were in response to a joke Rock read created by the event organizers that made fun of Jada Pinkett-Smith’s balding head.
On Friday, the video saw the disgraced actor speaking on camera for the first time as he issued a personal apology to Rock for slapping him.
“I’ve reached out to Chris and the message that came back is that he’s not ready to talk, and when he is he will reach out,” Will Smith said as he read a question that was asked of him. “So I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you. My behaviour was unacceptable, and I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk.”
“I was fogged out by that point. It’s all fuzzy,” he said about the aftermath of the moment that stunned millions on TV.
The King Richards actor also said that he didn’t realize that many people were hurt by his actions as he apologized to Chris Rock’s family, including his brother Tony Rock who had previously said he was ready for the smoke to get back at Smith.
“I saw an interview that his mother did. That’s one of the things about that moment I didn’t realize, I wasn’t thinking, but how many people got hurt in that moment,” he said.
“So I want to apologize to Chris’s mother; I want to apologize to Chris’s family, specifically Tony Rock. We had a great relationship. Tony Rock was my man. This is probably irreparable,” Will said.
“I spent the last three months replaying and understanding the complexities and nuances of what happened,” Smith said, adding, “I’m not gonna try to unpack all of that right now but I can say to you, there was no part of me that thought that was the right way to behave in that moment,” he added.
Chris Rock has never spoken about the incident, and although he has made jokes about it, days ago, he had said he would speak about it when he is ready.
Smith had previously released a statement days after the event as he claimed that the joke which made fun of his wife’s alopecia was hurtful, and he also felt his wife’s hurt leading to him reacting “emotionally.”
Smith has been criticized for his wishy-washy apology to Rock.
“I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness,” he had said.

Los Peces Voladores de Salinas derrotaron el viernes 4-0 a los Azucareros de Yabucoa y lograron el único boleto disponible para las semifinales del Béisbol Superior Doble A.
El encuentro decisivo se celebró ante cerca de 3 mil fanáticos, que se dieron cita en el estadio Néstor Morales de Humacao.
Salinas es el único equipo de los cuatro semifinalistas que estará por segundo año consecutivo en la penúltima etapa del torneo. Junto a los Peces Voladores, están clasificados los Toritos de Cayey, los Mets de Guaynabo y los Libertadores de Hormigueros.
Los estelares lanzadores Miguel Fontánez y Yadiel Rolón se encargaron de maniatar la ofensiva de Yabucoa, con apenas tres hits permitidos.
Fontánez fue el ganador con seis entradas lanzadas. Dio paso a tres incogibles, otorgó dos boletos y ponchó a cuatro. Lo salvó Rolón de forma sensacional sin permitir libertades el resto del camino. Ponchó a cuatro de los nueve bateadores que enfrentó.
Los primeros seis episodios del juego fueron protagonizados por un duelo entre Fontánez y el derecho Cristian González, de los Azucareros. La primera carrera del juego llegó en la séptima entrada, producto de un hit dentro del cuadro del emergente Josean Rivera, después de dos outs. En el octavo acto, Salinas añadió dos vueltas y en el noveno sumó su cuarta rayita.
González fue quien cargó con el revés por Yabucoa. En 6.2 episodios le hicieron tres hits, con una carrera.
Listas las semifinales
En la semifinal B, los Peces Voladores enfrentarán a los Mets de Guaynabo desde el 5 de agosto.
Mientras, hoy sábado a las 8:00 de la noche comienza la semifinal A en el estadio Pedro Montañez de Cayey, donde los Toritos recibirán la visita de los Libertadores de Hormigueros. El segundo encuentro será el domingo a las 5:00 de la tarde, en el estadio Hermanos Miura de Hormigueros.
