Waterspout Hits Cyrpus Coastline
A British tourist captured this insane waterspout phenomenon during holiday in Cyprus.
Marc Gunjal, 39, from Morley, Leeds captured the waterspout while on holiday on the coast of Ayia Napa, Cyprus.
Marc and his family were enjoying a meat platter on the beachfront during their first day of the holiday when a big storm hit. This storm formed a waterspout and began sweeping the coastline.
Other tourists and staff were fascinated by this strange weather formation, but luckily they were all in a safe environment and far enough away to not be affected.

Now that a week has passed since the Honourable Dee-Ann-Kentish Rogers has re-joined the ranks of the APM, following a three-day term of resignation, the question remains: Should she explain her back-and-forth movement as a Government representative, and should she apologise for it?
The issue was raised on the radio programme, “Just the Facts” on Monday, 11th July when the host, the Honourable Cora Richardson Hodge, reflected on Ms. Kentish Rogers’ compelling speech, on 30th, in the House of Assembly, where she spoke as to why she had decided to cross the floor and join those on the opposition benches.Mrs. Cora Richardson Hodge alluded to an article in The Anguillian newspaper of 8th July, entitled “A Flip-Flop or What”. In that article, Ms. Kentish-Rogers spoke about how she crossed over to the Opposition; then she stated how she crossed back over again to Government.
“That was her explanation,” Mrs. Richardson-Hodge said, “as to why she was crossing the floor to sit with the Opposition. She said that she had listened to her constituents and they were of the prevailing view that she ought to have resigned from government [in the face of the controversial GST dilemma].
“Then, on Monday, July 4th, she made a statement saying: “‘My participation in Government is based upon the desire to ensure that the people’s voice is given primacy in the decision making process and that other means of economic development is pursued and explored. That is why I have accepted reappointment as a Minister of the Government of Anguilla.
“‘My commitment to championing the cause of every Anguillian, particularly those in Valley South, has remained, and I intend to remain steadfast and find avenues for their voices to be heard in Parliament, in Cabinet and in the Anguillian society.’”
“This is quite interesting,” Mrs. Richardson Hodge said, “because when she announced her resignation on June 30th, it was as a result of listening to her constituents and taking onboard their views. But when she crossed back over to rejoin the Government, that decision was taken based on her desire to ensure her people’s voice is given primacy, as she said, in the decision-making process. So her crossing back was not based on the views of her constituency, but it was based on other views.”Mrs. Richardson-Hodge invited the comments of her co-host, Mr. Cardigan Connor who said: “When Ms. Kentish-Rogers and Mr. Kyle Hodge voted ‘no’ to GST last year, it was expected that [both of them] would resign then. A number of people had thought that would be the case. But they were prepared to work along with the team on the matter of GST for the good of the people.
“But in this situation, when Ms. Kentish-Rogers went to the people, the general perception was that she should resign from Government if she wanted to represent them. The people said ‘no’ to her being in government, and not just for 48 hours, but for the long haul.
“So when she decided to go back to rejoin Government, the question one must ask is whether she did it on her own or whether she went back to the people again and told them of her decision to return to Government. As a District, there will be a number of questions that her constituents would continue to ask of her.”He stressed that no one likes the idea of a politician making a ‘flip-flopping’ because there is no surety as to where he or she stands on the issues – here today and not here tomorrow. He said that within time, DeeAnn will have to work it out with her people; she needs to come out to her people and explain her position. “Or her people will be very loud on her in time to come,” Mr. Connor said.

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.
