Jean Forbin a remporté ce vendredi les deux étapes au programme du Traditour. Il remonte à la 2e place du général, à un quart d’heure du leader, Hugo Thélier. 

Rien n’est joué, rien. Certes, il y a un quart d’heure à combler, mais dans le domaine de la voile, c’est à la fois une éternité et un claquement de doigts. Le moins que l’on puisse dire, c’est que Jean Forbin a réalisé la bonne opération du jour en signant deux belles victoires à la barre de Guadeloupe Port Caraïbe. ” On gagne deux étapes ce vendredi, savoure Jean Forbin, on ne pouvait espérer mieux. Sur une course aux points, ça aurait été encore plus beau, mais c’est une course au temps et malheureusement, nous n’avons pas repris assez de temps à nos rivaux. Les écarts sont trop faibles. Pour nous rien n’est joué car samedi, l’étape de côte sous le vent sera un peu comme une loterie. On fera les comptes ensuite en espérant qu’ils nous soient favorables “. La première entre Petit-Canal et Baie-Mahault où il devance Marcelin Wilbon qui revit après une étape cauchemardesque entre Saint-François et Petit-Canal, ” J’ai fait un bon début de Tour, relate Marcelin Wilbon, nous avons bien préparé ce rendez-vous et les résultats étaient plus que réguliers et corrects. Mais après quarante minutes de régate, nous avons cassé la bôme. Et j’ai du abandonner. Ce qui nous a contraints à écoper d’une grosse pénalité. C’était un coup très dur mais c’est la course et maintenant que nous n’avons plus rien à jouer au général, j’espère terminer le Tour en beauté en faisant de bons résultats. Cette deuxième place fait donc du bien “.  la deuxième, entre Baie-Mahault et Deshaies ou c’est le leader du Tour en personne qui vient limiter la casse. ” C’est une très bonne opération pour nous, analyse Hugo Thélier. On est troisièmes ce matin, deuxièmes cet après-midi. Au général, le deuxième est à plus de dix minutes (ndlr : plus de quinze) donc on a une belle marge et on vise réellement la victoire finale. On est sereins sur l’équipage et le matériel.

Aujourd’hui, il y a beaucoup de vent annoncé et le résultat pourrait être hasardeux. Ça pourrait nous sourire comme à un autre. Il faudra tirer notre épingle du jeu et samedi soir, on aura une belle photo de la situation du Tour. ” L’étape du jour pourrait s’avérer décisive. Chacun des concurrents guettera les caprices du vent.

PAHO Gives Voice To Adolescents To Talk About Teen Pregnancy – St. Lucia Times News

Black Immigrant Daily News

On Friday, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) launched a contest for young people aged 12 to 19 to articulate their vision regarding the problem of adolescent pregnancy in the Region of the Americas through such artistic media as painting, drawing, illustration, comics, poetry, stories, videos, and songs.

The contest invites adolescents to express how they visualize the impact of a pregnancy during adolescence, and what countries or decision-makers can do to change this problem.

Adolescent pregnancy has a profound impact on the development of young people, negatively affecting their educational and employment opportunities.

Moreover, the most disproportionately affected are adolescents from lower-income families and from indigenous and Afro-descendant communities.

“What we are trying to do with this contest is to discover how adolescents see this problem, to visualize their opinions and learn about possible solutions from their point of view,” explained Dr. Sonja Caffe, Regional Advisor for Adolescent Health.

“Opening up mechanisms for adolescents’ participation, where their voices and viewpoints can be heard, enables the design of strategies that respond to this age group .”

“We hope that their creative works will spur continued efforts to address this problem, which puts adolescent girls’ health at risk and makes them more vulnerable to dying in childbirth,” added Dr. Caffe.

The contest is open to adolescents of both sexes from the countries of the Americas. Their contributions are to be shared during Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Week—held every September in Latin America and every October in the Caribbean—and through other events and platforms related to the subject.

Loïc Laviolette de la sélection de Guadeloupe a remporté, comme en 2019, la 6e étape du tour. Il devance le sociétaire de la Pédale Pilotine, Diego Soraca Cabezas. Les deux hommes qui s’étaient échappés du peloton au km 50 ont réussi à concrétiser leur fugue.

Ils étaient 70 rescapés au départ de Sainte-Marie. L’étape qui, à priori, n’était pas une course difficile a finalement provoqué de gros bouleversements au classement général. Diégo Soraca Cabezas annonce très tôt ses intentions en remportant le premier prix de la montagne au sommet de Morne Poirier à Trinité. Il est rejoint par Mario Rojas Rojas du Winer Team à Bassignac au Gros-Morne. Les deux hommes vont rouler ensemble pendant environ 5 km. Ils sont rejoints à Chapelle par le maillot…

“ Valiant and Bold,Proud and Strong! Belize Rebounds @ 41! ”

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Amandala Newspaper

The theme of this year’s September Celebrations was submitted by primary school teacher Sheryl Distan of Belmopan.

by Khaila Gentle

BELIZE CITY, Thurs. July 14, 2022Belmopan teacher Sheryl Distan has for a number of years wanted to be a part of selecting the country’s September Celebrations theme, and this month, she achieved that goal after one of her submissions to the National Celebrations Commission’s Theme Competition was selected as the winning entry for this year:

“Valiant and Bold, Proud and Strong, Belize Rebounds at 41.”The theme was revealed at the Belize City House of Culture this Wednesday by Minister of Education, Culture, Science & Technology, Hon. Francis Fonseca alongside Belize City mayor Bernard Wagner. And the woman who came up with it was given the opportunity to explain to a small group of invited guests her creative process:

“From the moment I saw the flyer for the competition, I took out a notebook and I silently said to myself ‘I want to be a part of this’. So I began—every time something would come to my mind, I would write, I would scratch. And I said, ‘I need to get it in before I forget’,” she said.

According to the interim President at the National Institute of Culture & History (NICH), Merlyn Young, the winning theme was chosen from a total of four hundred and twenty-six entries. A subcommittee from the National Celebrations Commission (NCC) looked at each submission and then selected thirteen entries for final review.Distan explained that she had submitted a total of seven entries. Her winning entry, for which she will be receiving a prize of $1,000, was inspired by the National Anthem as well as Belize’s continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I was inspired to do this one because I thought about where we came from, and I thought about the National Anthem: ‘valiant and bold’. And I said, that’s who we are. Even today, it is still very fitting. Then I said what? We are proud. We are strong. The pandemic caused me to think about this one, and I said no, we are making a comeback. We are doing it. This is Belize. This is who we are,” she said.
