La ville de Basse-Pointe et Cap Nord ont publié un livret pédagogique intitulé Hippolyte Morestin (1869-1919) : un chirurgien martiniquais pionnier de la chirurgie plastique et esthétique, relatant le parcours et la postérité de ce grand chirurgien méconnu.
Natif de Basse-Pointe où il passa son enfance, Hippolyte Morestin fut un médecin très réputé à Paris durant la Belle Époque. Spécialisé dans la chirurgie des voies digestives, des articulations ainsi que des tumeurs et du cancer, il fut l’un des premiers à donner une dimension purement esthétique à ses opérations. Mais c’est pendant la Première Guerre mondiale qu’il devint mondialement célèbre en se consacrant à la réparation et à la reconstruction des crânes et visages des malheureux soldats défigurés par les balles et éclats d’obus.
Ce livret d’une vingtaine de pages a été réalisé en partenariat avec la Société martiniquaise d’histoire de la médecine et le réseau Canopé. Comprenant de nombreuses illustrations, il est destiné au milieu scolaire, bibliothèques, centres de documentation, associations… Il est disponible gratuitement à la bibliothèque de prêt de la Collectivité territoriale de Martinique, 17 avenue Saint-John-Perse, Morne-Tartenson à Fort-de-France.
√ Horaires : lundi, mardi, jeudi 8h-12h et 14h-17h ; mercredi et vendredi 8h-12h30. Renseignements : bibliothèque de prêt au 0596 55 43 71 ; ou par mail à bdp@collectivitedemartinique.mq

L’action est symbolique et destinée à sensibiliser le grand public sur la pollution lumineuse. Ce samedi 15 octobre, de 20h à 21h, les Martiniquais sont invités à éteindre leur lumière.
Cette opération d’extinction des lumières entre dans le cadre de la manifestation nationale intitulée « Le Jour de la Nuit » (14ème édition) organisée par Agir pour l’environnement et que relaie en Martinique et en Guadeloupe Elite Ecologie. Fervent défenseur de l’environnement, cette structure a pour objectif premier de faire de la prévention en sensibilisant et en faisant évoluer les mentalités sur la catastrophe écologique que la planète encourt.
Rappelons que la pollution lumineuse est une cause majeure de disparition des insectes au même titre que les insecticides. Elle menace la pollinisation, perturbe les écosystèmes marins jusqu’à 200 mètres sous l’océan. En France, l’éclairage public représente 41% de la consommation d’électricité des communes, soit un coût annuel de 2 milliards d’euros. Par le biais d’EDF Guadeloupe et d’EDF Martinique, Elite Ecologie aura une indication moyenne de la consommation électrique habituelle sur le créneau horaire 20h/21h, ainsi que cette même indication le soir de l’événement avant et après extinction des lumières.
Samedi 15 octobre, de 9h à 13h, se dérouleront également des « ateliers Zeste », à Petite-Cocotte, à Ducos, dans les locaux du partenaire d’Elite Ecologie, Soliha Martinique.
Ces ateliers ont pour but de découvrir de façon ludique et conviviale comment réaliser des économies d’énergie au quotidien (cf. lien https://elite-ecologie.com/ateliers-zeste/).

Une quarantaine de gendarmes étaient déployés à la cité Ozanam ce mardi matin. – Archives DR
Une quarantaine de gendarmes ont investi la cité Ozanam à Schoelcher ce mardi matin (18 octobre), dans le cadre d’une enquête judiciaire initiée depuis plusieurs mois.
Une nouvelle opération de gendarmerie a été menée ce mardi matin, au niveau de la cité Ozanam à Batelière. Une quarantaine de militaires de la compagnie de Fort-de-France, de l’antenne Gign ou des gendarmes mobiles ont procédé à des perquisitions et des interpellations.
Selon nos éléments, ils sont intervenus dans le cadre d’une information judiciaire confiée à un juge d’instruction en début d’année pour trafic de stupéfiants et trafic d’armes. Plusieurs interpellations ont été réalisées sur place et des saisies réalisées mais, à ce stade, la gendarmerie se refuse à tout commentaire.
Des garde à vue sont en cours.
En juillet et en août, de précédentes opérations judiciaires avaient déjà été réalisées par les gendarmes au sein de la cité dans le cadre de ce dossier. Des armes avaient été saisies.

Meet the mom and daughter duo who pose together and make ?8k a month, filming their food fights in the nude.
Jessie Jo, 55, suggested to her daughter, Phoenix Rae Blue, 24, that they create a joint OnlyFans account after she was struggling for work in May 2020.
The pair filmed themselves, both dressed as dominatrixes– wearing PVC leather and wielding whips — and were shocked when the video took off.
The mother and daughter continued to film content and now bring in up to ?8,000 a month between them.
They aren’t afraid to pose nude together or in lingerie and share racy snaps and raunchy videos where they have food fights or wrestle in a bubble bath.
Their fans will even pay ?50 just for a five-minute chat with them both.
Jessie, a glamour model from Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England, said: “My glamour shoots got cancelled because of the pandemic, so I decided we needed to do something different.
“We weren’t expecting it to go so crazy,” she said. “It just blew up, and now it’s what pays our bills.
“We don’t touch each other but are happy to pose naked or in lingerie,” the mothher added. “We just have fun.
“I used to walk around the house naked all the time anyway, so we’re used to it.
“People have called us incestuous before, but they don’t really understand what we do and, over time, the negative comments have become less,” Jessie said.
Phoenix said: “I thought it was a great idea when my mom suggested a joint OnlyFans.
“I saw that no one else was doing it.
“A lot of my friends are envious of the bond I have with my mom,” she added. “We’re very comfortable around each other, and it’s so fun doing what we do.”
Jessie was a struggling single mom working two jobs running a beauty shop and as a bartender 14 hours a day before she was approached by Babestation and launched her glamour model career.
The mom of two set up an OnlyFans in 2017 and encouraged daughter Phoenix to set one up when she struggled to get a job after finishing college where she studied graphic design to become a computer-aided design engineer.
“I told her she didn’t have to get anything out, she could just take selfies,” Jessie said.
“I felt really confident doing OnlyFans,” Phoenix added.
“I wasn’t getting anywhere with job applications and interviews, so I didn’t want to sit around doing nothing when I could make money,” she added.
When lockdown hit in March 2020, Jessie’s glamour work dried up as she couldn’t get to shoots.
She suggested the idea of a joint OnlyFans to Phoenix in the hope of bringing in some extra income.
“I thought if we did something different it might boost our OnlyFans a bit,” Jessie said.
“But it blew up overnight.”
Now the pair create regular content for their followers and are not afraid to get their kit off in front of each other.
The pair’s success has meant they have the time and money to invest in new projects.
Jessie also works as a medium, and Phoenix has set up a clothing brand.
“I can grow old relaxed,” Jessie said.
“It’s all meant I’ve had the money to treat myself to an ?8,000 tummy tuck.
“But I’ve always embraced my curved, and women have told me seeing me makes them feel sexy again,” the mother said.

Sergeant Leon Fisher and Constable Kevin Lewars both received the Medal of Honor for Gallantry
NEWYou can now listen to Loop News articles!
Two policemen, who placed themselves in the line of fire to save lives, received the Medal of Honour for Gallantry at the Ceremony of Investiture and Presentation of National Honours and Awards at Kings House on Monday.
The policemen, identified as Sergeant Leon Fisher and Constable Kevin Lewars, were on operation in St James in 2018 when they were involved in a confrontation with one of the parish’s most wanted men.
Reports from the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) are that Sergeant Fisher, though injured, used his body as a human shield to remove persons from the vicinity, including an 18-month-old baby, while Constable Lewars also used his body as a human shield to escort team members and other individuals from the scene of the incident, during which his helmet and vest were damaged by bullets.
The wanted man was fatally shot during the incident.
The JCF has since congratulated both officers.
The officers were among 221 outstanding Jamaicans recognised at the National Honours and Awards Ceremony on National Heroes Day, October 17.

Vincent Nelson, KC –
As of December 2021, convicted King’s Counsel Vincent Nelson was cancer free.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans done in December 2019, 2020 and 2021 showed no signs of cancer.
Nelson, 64, was diagnosed with cancer in March 2016. Sometime in October 2017, his then-attorney, Roger Kawalsingh, met with former attorney general Faris Al-Rawi with information that Nelson was “gravely ill and wanted to purge his conscience” of alleged corrupt practices involving former AG Anand Ramlogan, ex-UNC senator Gerald Ramdeen and three other attorneys before he died.
This led to Nelson signing a purported indemnity agreement – which he now says was breached by Al-Rawi and the Government – and giving a statement stating the alleged evidence of wrongdoing.
Nelson took a sabbatical from practice and was treated in New York. In 2017, cancer returned and he again had surgery in March 2018 in London.
MRIs showed he was cancer free and he said he planned to return to work but was advised to hold off until January 2019.
On June 6, 2019, Nelson pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit money laundering and conspiracy to commit an act of corruption arising out of the alleged legal fees kickback scheme. He was charged a month earlier.
In May 2019, he was permanently excluded from membership at the 39 Essex Street Chambers in London because of his conviction.
After his conviction, he tried to get work at commercial law chambers and even a utility company he previously represented but was unsuccessful in getting work.
Nelson said if not for his conviction – which he also claims was not part of his agreement with the Government – he would have returned to practice law for 10 years until his retirement in 2028 when he turned 71.
He is claiming $96 million for these “lost years” of work. Nelson said he had no funds saved for a pension and it was always his intention to return to work as soon as he was cured of cancer.
His bank account was overdrawn in June 2018 and closed in March 2020 when UK investigative authorities began a probe based on the statement he gave about the alleged corruption scheme. Nelson was not criminally prosecuted in the UK because of Al-Rawi’s intervention, but he is still being investigated for underpayment of taxes. He also wants TT to pay any demand for unpaid taxes that the National Crime Agency or His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs service may make against him because of his statement as he is entitled to be indemnified for it because of the alleged breach of his agreement with the Government.
Nelson said in August 2020 when his father died in Jamaica, he could not attend because he had no money for airfare or hotel bills so it was imperative that he return to work.
In March 2020, he was fined $2.5 million – which he also wants the State to pay – and at his sentencing hearing, his British attorney at the time, Tom Allen,KC, said Nelson’s main asset was a property in the United Kingdom which he would have had to sell to pay the fines. Allen said his client could no longer practice since agreeing to cooperate in the case and that most of his liquid assets were depleted in treating his cancer.
Nelson says before his conviction he earned an average annual salary of £1.4 million.
He said his expulsion from Chambers also led to him sling his medical insurance and he wants the State to pay for this and any costs or expenses he incurs from disciplinary proceedings by the British Bar Standards Board which were started in July 2019, because of his conviction.
