Local artistes collaborate for a good cause: Roses for a Rose Loop Barbados

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Barbados News

She is known to be an avid party-lover and last Saturday evening the fundraising event for Cheryl Rose took the format of just what she loves-a good party.

Friends, family and well-wishers gathered at Harbour Lights on July 9 in an effort to raise funds to assist Rose who was struck while jogging on Mother’s Day.

Organiser and coordinator behind the initiative David ‘Zige’ Walcott told Loop Entertainment that although it was planned hastily, he did not encounter too many challenges as Cheryl was well known within entertainment circles and artistes readily volunteered their time and talents to the cause.

“I found pulling the event together in such a short space of time was not entirely difficult at all. The first thing I did was to pull a small team to assist with the planning. I then approached a number of artistes, DJs, musicians and technical service providers requesting their involvement for the worthy cause and everyone said yes without any hesitation. Secondly, was to find a venue and due to my close relationship with the management of Harbour Lights, they said yes without any sense of hesitation,” Walcott explained.

The small planning committee included Therese Fergusson, Norma Hinkson, Janessa Sargeant, Marlon Legall, Bernard Yearwood and Tyrone Anderson.

With the Crop Over season in full swing, there was not sufficient time to seek sponsorship from corporate Barbados but Walcott highlighted that the event was still well attended. A number of individuals even made their way to Harbour Lights simply to make a contribution towards the cause, without staying for the event itself.

The greatest challenge the committee faced was marketing the event which was done solely via social media, with some assistance from individual radio personalities who could occasionally mention the event during their on-air segments.

Walcott explained that because many of the artistes were familiar with Rose’s son Chris, who was a producer, they did not hesitate to consent, as some also knew Cheryl personally.

“Cheryl not only liked partying but she is a lover of music and especially soca music,” he said.

“Cheryl was a founding member of the band Pan Revolution and a member of Mosaic Steel Orchestra. I remember as her son Chris was growing up, she made sure he was involved in music from the get-go, from violin to piano to steelpan he was involved. Whenever you drove in her vehicle it was always music,” he shared.

A number of local artistes performed at the event, including saxophonist Romaro Greaves, Ray Vibes, Leah, Red the Artiste, Betty B, Khiomal, Mikey, Faith, Nikita, Joaquin, Euphony Steel, Iza Vybe and Masala. DJs included Salt & Don while Kirk Browne and Cassandra Samuels performed the duties of emcees on the night.

In addition to being a lover of fitness, Walcott suggested that Rose was also a lover of people, having touched numerous lives.

“Due to her personality not only as an active person but her professional life, she has touched many in her role as a guidance counsellor at the Coleridge and Parry school, as well,” Walcott said.

The proceeds from the event titled “Roses for a Rose” will go towards raising nearly one million dollars to cover Cheryl’s treatment as she is seeking medical attention in Canada.

Euro: les Bleues accrochées, le joker Malard…

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Guadeloupe FranceAntilles

La France s’est fait rattraper sur le fil par l’Islande (1-1) lundi à l’Euro, un accroc sans conséquence comptable mais qui fait tache avant les quarts, malgré la prestation remarquée du joker Melvine Malard, ultra-efficace en l’absence de la blessée Marie-Antoinette Katoto

Déjà qualifiées au coup d’envoi, les Bleues ont terminé leur premier tour sur une légère fausse note en encaissant un penalty dans le temps additionnel, un grain de sable contrariant après seize victoires consécutives.

“On aurait préféré gagner ce soir, on a eu les opportunités, mais le VAR n’a pas été avec nous” a regretté Corinne Diacre, la sélectionneuse de l’équipe de France au micro de TF1.

A Rotherham, où le thermomètre affichait 33°C, la bonne nouvelle est cependant venue de Malard, visiblement pas submergée par l’émotion d’une titularisation quasi-surprise.

Après 43 secondes seulement, la Lyonnaise de 22 ans avait déjà fait trembler les filets, inscrivant le but le plus rapide de cet Euro anglais et devenant, au passage, la plus jeune buteuse française de l’histoire dans cette compétition.

La droitière a donné un aperçu de ses qualités d’entrée: une remise subtile derrière la jambe d’appui pour Clara Mateo, une course vers l’axe et une frappe du gauche sur un service de la joueuse du Paris FC. Imparable et ultra-efficace.

Malard a célébré sa réalisation en dessinant la lettre “M” avec ses doigts et en criant “Marie” face aux caméras, un hommage appuyé à Katoto, l’attaquante star des Bleues rentrée en France après s’être gravement blessée contre la Belgique quatre jours plus tôt.

“Je voulais marquer ce soir, et faire une dédicace à +Marie+”, a expliqué Malard toujours sur TF1. Elle est là pour nous, on est là pour elle. “Les attaquantes, on a un grand rôle à jouer, parce que Marie est vraiment une grande buteuse et une grande joueuse. Moi, je n’hésite pas à lui demander des conseils et demander aux autres joueuses comment elle joue, pour bien aider l’équipe.”

– Deux buts annulés –

Le forfait de l’avant-centre du Paris SG avait voilé le ciel des Bleues, orphelines de leur buteuse attitrée et démunies en l’absence de doublure véritable.

La sélectionneuse Corinne Diacre avait brouillé les piste la veille devant la presse, laissant entendre qu’elle lancerait la deuxième N.9 de son effectif, Ouleymata Sarr, plutôt que Malard.

Sous le maillot tricolore, cette dernière avait donné satisfaction à chacune de ses titularisations précédentes, se distinguant avec un doublé contre le Kazakhstan en octobre 2021, un but contre la Finlande en février et un autre face au Cameroun en juin.

Remplacée par Sarr (79e), Malard a bénéficié d’une longue accolade de Diacre, visiblement ravie.

Il ne s’agit peut-être pas d’un choix durable ou définitif, mais cela permet à la sélectionneuse des Bleues d’y voir plus clair avant le quart de finale prévu samedi face aux Pays-Bas.

Son homologue Mark Parsons, présent dans les tribunes du New York stadium, a pu constater que la jeunesse française avait du talent, à l’image de Selma Bacha (21 ans) et Sandy Baltimore (22 ans), habituelles remplaçantes lancées cette fois comme titulaire.

Il a pu aussi déceler quelques failles du côté de la défense française. Aïssatou Tounkara, encore préférée à Griedge Mbock, s’est ratée sur une relance (36e) et au duel (77e), et sa partenaire dans l’axe Wendie Renard n’a pas toujours été impériale.

La gardienne Pauline Peyraud-Magnin a certes gratifié le public d’une superbe envolée (56e), mais son placement hasardeux (41e, 59e) a donné des sueurs froides aux quelques supporters français présents.

La France n’a pas eu de chance sur des frappes de Baltimore (55e) et Grace Geyoro (67e), repoussées par les montants islandais, et elle s’est vu refuser deux buts de Malard (68e) et Geyoro (88e) après recours à l’assistance vidéo.

Et la VAR a puni les Bleues à la dernière seconde du match, avec un penalty concédé par Sarr sur un croche-pied. Peyraud-Magnin a plongé, en vain.
