Le monde de la yole a perdu un ancien patron, Albert Emérancienne, décédé hier (mardi 9 août) à l’âge de 78 ans des suites d’une longue maladie. 

Ancien patron de la yole saintannaise durant de nombreuses années, il avait créé la surprise en 2008 en offrant une 5è place au Tour de la Martinique sous l’appellation de l’époque « Hollywood Chewing-gum / Snack Elizé ». D’origine vauclinoise, il décide en 2012 de retourner dans sa commune natale, sur une autre yole, après s’être assuré que la relève était bien présente.

C’était chose faite, puisqu’après Gérald Beuze, alors âgé de 22 ans, un autre jeune, Marc-Emmanuel Florian, a pris le relais en 2015.

Président d’honneur des bébés yoles

An 2010, Albert Emérancienne avait été président d’honneur des 25 ans des bébé yoles, et lors du Tour de 2019, une bouée au nom d’Ernest et Albert Emérancienne avait été posée au niveau de château-Paille. Il a formé plusieurs jeunes yoleurs qui lui ont toujours été reconnaissants.

Surnommé « Le loup de mer » par ma présidente de l’association Ay Douvan, Cécile Monrose, Albert Emérancienne n’a jamais arrêté de jeter un coup d’œil sur ses poulains par sa présence auprès d’eux à chaque compétition. La maladie a eu raison de lui. Sa sagesse manquera à toutes celle et tous ceux qui l’ont côtoyé.

La canicule moins sévère qu’en juillet mais plus longue

Black Immigrant Daily News

 La vague de chaleur gagnait comme prévu du terrain mercredi avec des températures entre 33 et 37 degrés dans le sud-ouest de la France et désormais 18 départements en alerte, alors que plusieurs incendies brûlent dans le pays et notamment en Gironde.

Il fait globalement moins chaud que lors de la canicule de mi-juillet quand nombre de records ont été battus avec des thermomètres dépassant 40°C dans plusieurs régions, dont Nantes qui avait subi 42°C – il avait alors pour la première fois fait plus de 40°C au Royaume-Uni.

Mais l’épisode actuel est “plus durable à l’échelle du territoire national”, dit Météo-France: il a démarré le 31 juillet et après une accalmie la semaine dernière, est reparti, avec des journées brûlantes et des nuits chaudes, ce qui est la définition des canicules et explique leur danger pour les personnes vulnérables, puisqu’on parvient plus difficilement à refroidir son corps la nuit.

Le Morbihan et le Finistère ont été ajoutés mercredi en fin d’après-midi à la liste des 16 départements où les citoyens doivent être “très vigilants” face à la chaleur, a annoncé l’institut météorologique. Il fera jeudi entre 33 et 36 degrés en Bretagne, et de 36 à 40 degrés plus au sud.

Au cran inférieur, 36 départements au total sont placés en vigilance jaune (“soyez attentif”), avec l’ajout de Paris et de plusieurs en Ile-de-France (Yvelines, Seine-et-Marne, Essonne), du Nord ou encore de l’Isère.

Les pouvoirs publics alertent des risques pour la santé et Météo-France a invité toute la population, “même les sujets en bonne santé” à continuer les gestes de précaution: boire, manger “comme d’habitude”, ne pas sortir pendant les heures chaudes (11h-21h).

A Villelongue-de-la-Salanque près de Perpignan, Sonia Gara raconte ne pas sortir “aux heures chaudes”, et s’hydrater davantage. “Il n’y a pas de vent. Le soir, ça rafraîchit très peu”, résume cette professeure des écoles de 41 ans.

Les fortes chaleurs vont gagner progressivement les régions plus au nord avec 35 degrés attendus dès vendredi sur la région parisienne, a par ailleurs indiqué Météo-France.

La canicule devrait prendre fin dimanche avec des orages attendus dans toute la France. 

– Reprises d’incendies –

Mercredi, deux incendies en particulier faisaient rage dans le Maine-et-Loire, et surtout en Gironde, déjà théâtre d’un gigantesque feu il y a un mois dans la même zone, près de Landiras. 16 maisons ont été détruites, un millier de personnes évacuées.

Comme Christian Fostitchenko, 61 ans, évacué avec sa compagne de leur domicile de Saint-Magne, pour la deuxième fois.

“Cette fois, on a vraiment eu peur. Le feu était à moins de 100 mètres de la maison”, dit l’homme.

Selon le ministère de l’Intérieur, Gérald Darmanin, il y a “de grandes suspicions” que cette reprise soit “le fait d’incendiaires” à en juger les “quelques centaines de mètres d’intervalle” des départs de feu, un phénomène “inhabituel”, a-t-il jugé.

Dans la forêt du Maine-et-Loire, entre Angers et Le Mans, 1.200 hectares ont déjà brûlé malgré la présence de 400 sapeurs pompiers.

Face au “risque très élevé d’incendies”, le préfet des Pyrénées-Atlantiques a, de son côté, décidé dans l’après-midi de la “fermeture exceptionnelle” du massif de la Rhune jusqu’à vendredi. 

– Forte sécheresse –

La canicule a accentué la sécheresse historique que traverse la France cet été, et fait chuter les débits des cours d’eau dans de nombreuses régions, multipliant les mesures de restriction d’eau.

93 départements en France métropolitaine sur 96 font actuellement l’objet de restrictions de l’usage de l’eau à différents degrés.

Mercredi, 21 départements étaient en “alerte renforcée”, qui impose des réductions fortes des arrosages et des prélèvements pour l’agriculture, voire des interdictions de certains prélèvements, et 69 sont “en crise”, où même les prélèvements d’eau pour l’agriculture sont interdits.

Dans plus d’une centaine de petites communes en France, les canalisations sont vides et doivent être approvisionnées en eau potable par des camions-citernes.

Dans la ville médiévale de Pernes-Les-Fontaines dans le Vaucluse, les vasques qui font sa renommée sont désormais vides.

Charlestown, Nevis, August 08, 2022 (Nevis Reformation Party) – The Nevis Reformation Party (NRP) takes this opportunity to congratulate the Hon. Dr. Terrance Drew on being sworn in as our Nation’s fourth Prime Minister following his St. Kitts Nevis Labour Party’s win in the August 05, 2022, general elections.

The NRP wishes Prime Minister Drew and his SKNLP the very best as they govern the affairs of our twin island Federation. 

Congratulations are also extended to the Concerned Citizens Movement (CCM) on their victory at the polls on Friday. We trust that the CCM will begin to represent the people of Nevis as they were elected to do. 

The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, but, the people eligible to vote, especially those from overseas, have spoken. We find solace in knowing that our God is in the midst.

We know that our numbers on the ground have improved significantly and those who have been struggling truly appreciate and support our message of a better, more sustainable Nevis. Our message of a better, and more self-reliant Nevis, where our people can enjoy a better standard of living, has resonated well with the residents of Nevis, but we still have work to do.

I am proud and thankful for this wonderful campaign that we built together and we will build more togetherness and create more energy as we move into the local election.

This campaign is not about one person or a few people. It’s about the future of Nevis. It’s about better education for our children. It’s about proper health care. It’s about creating an economy where our people can be gainfully employed.

Let’s continue to work together and do our part to build a better, stronger and more prosperous Nevis.

We are proud of the progress that our party and our candidates have made. We will continue to strengthen our party in preparation for a successful outcome in the local election because we maintain that Nevis is the first priority of the Nevis Reformation Party.

Microsoft has announced the designation of Daniel Verswyvel as General Manager for Microsoft Central America and Caribbean.

The company said Herbert Lewy, who held the position of general manager for Microsoft Caribbean and Puerto Rico, was promoted to general manager of Smart Agriculture and Bioeconomy for Latin America. Yamile Bustamante will continue as Country Representative for Microsoft in Jamaica.

With this new Microsoft subsidiary in Central America and Caribbean, the company said it reaffirms its commitment to the region to continue “fulfilling its mission of empowering every person and organisation on the planet to achieve more”.

Herbert Lewy

Verswyvel has more than 20 years of experience in the technology industry and in 2020 was designated as general manager for Microsoft in Central America. He has been working with Microsoft for more than 10 years, and has held senior positions in the organization, including manager of Small and Medium Enterprises, director of Marketing and Operations and director of Strategic Clients for Microsoft Colombia.

Before joining Microsoft, Verswyvel worked for Motorola and then for Sony Ericsson, where he held different positions, both in the headquarters for Latin America in Miami, where he lived for 10 years, and in Bogota where he held the general management for Colombia and Venezuela. Later he was general manager for the Andean and Caricom regions.

“I am very excited about the challenge of expanding my leadership, now covering Central America and Caribbean, at such an important time for Microsoft, for our customers and partners,” said Verswyvel.

“I am proud of the opportunity to work with a strong team committed to providing our customers and partners with solutions to their organisational challenges. At the same time, I am inspired by the passion that our team brings to generate a real impact in each of the countries that make up our Central America and Caribbean region,” he added.

Meanwhile, Microsoft said Lewy, who led the Puerto Rico and Caribbean team, will now have the challenge of accelerating technological adoption in one of the most forceful scenarios “and in which we are facing a tremendous challenge: feeding the world’s population in a sustainable way”.

In this new role as general manager of Smart Agriculture and Bioeconomy for Latin America, Microsoft said Lewy will be responsible for continuing to explore ways for technology to be that “great enabler to face the challenge of sustainable food that we face as a society”.

“This new professional chapter comes at a time when I will be able to take on a challenge to support customers and partners in two industries that are in a time of significant acceleration towards their digital transformation,” said Lewy. “I am proud of the legacy I leave in Caribbean, while also confident in the team’s capabilities to support the digital transformation of our customers and partners.”
