Carol enters quarterfinals – Saipan Tribune

Posted: at 5:34 am

World-ranked Carol Lee had another easy win in the 2017 Oceania Closed Junior Championships yesterday at the Regional Training Center in Lautoka, Fiji.

Lee swept Elys Saguil-Ventura of Australia, 6-3, 6-0, in the second round match in the girls singles event of the B2 tournament. Lee also came from a two-set victory (similar scores) in her opening game against Saguil-Venturas compatriot Grace Schumacher last Monday to move to Round 2. Saguil-Ventura, on the other hand, edged Tahitis Naia Guitton to earn the right to face Lee in the next round.

With the world No. 239 Lee cutting Saguil-Venturas stint in the ITF Juniors competition short, the CNMI player arranged a quarterfinal showdown against a familiar foe in Australias Megan Smith. Lee and Smith will meet for the third time today after splitting their first two duels. The Commonwealth bet outclassed the Queensland native, 4-6, 6-3, 10-2, in the finals of the consolation draw of the 14/U Australian Championships two years ago. Smith then settled the score in the same tournament (team event) when she also slipped past Lee in the first singles match, 5-4 (5), 3-5, 7-10.

Regardless of the results of Lees third collision with Smith, the 15-year-old player has already surpassed her performance in the Oceania Closed last year. Lee only won one match in the 2016 edition of the tournament in Fiji, beating Australias Monique Belovukovic of Australia, 6-0, 6-2, before losing to Mikaela Haet, also of Australia, in the Round of 16, 5-7, 1-6.

The CNMI junior player has also improved her results in the doubles after she and Australias Oleksandra Kalachova prevailed against the latters compatriot Isabella Bozicevic and Helena Spiridis in their first round match yesterday, 6-2, 6-3. Last year, Lee teamed up with Palaus Ayana Rengiil and they bowed to Ella Husrefovic and Jessica Zaviacic in the opening round, 5-7, 4-6.

With the victory this time, Lee and Kalachova gained a spot in the quarterfinals and incidentally they will challenge Smith and Roopa Bains for a seat in the semifinals. Bains and Smith advanced to the Round of 3 following a 6-1, 7-5 win over the CNMIs Isabel Heras and Australias Milan Krish.

Heras is done in the doubles, but will still play in the singles event. She is in the plate after losing her opener in the main draw and will battle Australias Joy Andreou today.

Robbie Schorr, the third Commonwealth player entered in the tournament, is in the plate, too of the boys singles play and will square off against Vanuatus Marlin Hannam.

Durban mercenary involved in Seychelles coup dies before book about his life is published – News24

Posted: at 5:34 am

2017-08-07 07:21

Tania Broughton, News24 Correspondent

Durban - The day a book about his life was sent to the printers, legendary Durban photographer Peter Duffy died.

Once a mercenary - who spent time in jail for his role in the failed 1981 Seychelles coup - his death while sitting on a bench outside a Durban shopping centre last week, could be considered somewhat of an anti-climax.

Before Duffy's death of a presumed heart attack, he had become a recluse - estranged from many, including his friend of more than 30 years, author and journalist Graham Linscott.

Linscott wrote the book Ricochets, the Life of mercenary soldier Peter Duffy after a series of interviews which took place in Linscott's home where Duffy was recuperating after a hip operation.

Duffy claimed he couldn't handle the stairs at his own home. True to Duffy's secretive style, no-one knew exactly where the house was, let alone had been there.

After signing a contract and co-operating with Linscott, he walked out of his house one day and said he wanted nothing more to do with the project.

"We didn't speak for three years. People said I should apologise to him. But there was nothing to apologise for. I didn't know what I had done wrong, if anything," Linscott said.

"But he was aware that the book was going to published and somehow got an advanced copy of it. I am told he showed it to several people who all told him he should be delighted with it. But now I will never know."

'Romp'

Linscott describes the book as a "romp" and not a serious book.

Because while it deals with some serious topics, it is told very much in Duffy's humorous and mischievous style.

"Linscott is the only man who understands my sense of humour," he used to say.

In the foreword, Linscott describes Duffy, who was born in Scotland into relative wealth, as an eccentric adventurer.

His was a coffee planter in Tanganyika, took up karate in Japan, acted as a film stunt man, and served as mercenary in the Congo, invading the Seychelles Islands and hijacking a plane to escape.

When he wanted a "quieter life" he took up news photography, working mainly for the Daily News and Sunday Tribune in Durban.

He loved eating out and cooking. In his later years he would be known to pitch up friend's houses armed with ingredients. Sometimes he would stay for weeks.

'Inner circle'

Up to his death, an "inner circle", including some of Durban's top restaurateurs remained loyal to him.

In a tribute posted on Facebook, former colleague Yogin Devan wrote: "I first met Peter Duffy when I joined the Sunday Tribune in 1980. Not too long thereafter he became involved in the hijacking saga.

"When he returned to the Tribune after serving his jail sentence, I worked with Duffy regularly. Some journalists frowned upon his antics as a mercenary and hijacker and gave him a wide berth.

"I preferred going on out-of-town assignments with Duffy - the boredom of long trips disappeared as he regaled me with stories about all his adventures.

"I also decided that Duffy could be handy when interviews became tricky - he had a black belt in karate.

"Duffy and I went on several exciting and dangerous missions into the then Transkei and Ciskei - and once got caught in the violence following a coup in Bisho.

"Duffy was most knowledgeable about gourmet cooking and alcoholic beverages. He bragged about cooking a good few last suppers when he was in Pretoria Central Prison. He recalled that one condemned prisoner's last meal request was scrambled eggs. Duffy was also a connoisseur of cocktails."

'What a read...'

Devan said in October 2016, he arranged a cordial meeting in Mumbai between Duffy and Captain Umesh Saxena, the pilot of the Air India plane that Duffy and his fellow mercenaries had hijacked.

"They shared their versions of the episode over beers and a meal. I once read through the manuscripts of his life story. What a read

"When I broke the news of Duffy's death to Capt Saxena this [Saturday] morning, he was shocked and saddened."

Ricochets will be officially launched on August 17 at Adams in Musgrave Centre, Durban.

Seafood festival with Caribbean accent comes to town – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Posted: at 5:33 am

Seven Caribbean restaurants will bring a variety of island specialties to the Pittsburgh Caribbean Seafood Fess from 1 to 9 p.m. Sunday at the Rhododendron Shelter in Highland Park.

Organizer Steve Miller, who has hosted past Jamaican events for family and friends, decided to expand both his focus and his audience. This event will feature food from all Caribbean islands rather than only Jamaica, and the public is invited.

Participating restaurants includeLintons Caribbean Grille of McKeesport, Leons Caribbean Restaurant of Allentown, Fireside Caribbean Restaurant and Royal Caribbeanboth of Wilkinsburg. Mr. Miller said the menu will feature a variety of seafood dishes including crab legs, shrimp, red snapper, conch, oysters, soups and bisques, shrimp tacos and seafood salad.

Other attractions will include a live reggae band and childrens activities including clowns, a bounce house, face-painting, balloons and magic tricks.

Mr. Miller is expecting about 350 people to attend.

Pittsburgh has been going through a transformation in the last 15 years, he said. Different nationalities are coming into town, so I decided the timing was right to bring more attention to the areas Caribbean population.

Mr. Miller had heard of Caribbean festivals in other United States cities. He added that while rib fests are held in the Pittsburgh area, he has never heard about a seafood fest.

He decided seafood would be a good way to showcase the island nations because each island prepares its seafood differently, using varying seasonings.

Festival admission is free. For information, go to facebook.com and search for Pittsburgh Caribbean Seafood Fess.

Air France will launch the service on Nov. 21, operating two flights a week on 170-seat Airbus A320 jets. Guadeloupe-bound flights will depart Atlanta each Wednesday and Sunday. The return flights leave Guadeloupe on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Air France will be the only airline flying non-stop on the route.

Tropical systems to unleash torrential downpours in northern Caribbean – AccuWeather.com

Posted: at 5:32 am

Downpours will push westward across the northern islands of the Caribbean Sea, while a second tropical system, dubbed 99L, may develop and approach the United States next week.

Unsettled weather, similar to a tropical depression or a weak tropical storm, will affect areas from Puerto Rico to Hispaniola and the Bahamas into midweek. However, this system is likely to remain poorly organized as it moves westward through Wednesday.

These islands will experience a pulse of drenching showers and locally gusty thunderstorms over a 12- to 36-hour period.

The showers and thunderstorms may postpone some activities such as a day at the beach or boating adventures. However, on a more serious note, some communities may be hit with torrential rainfall and life-threatening flash flooding.

Flooding rainfall and road closures occurred across the United States Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands from late Monday to Monday night. Homes and businesses sustained major damage in some communities.

Beyond Wednesday, some of this moisture may feed into the general pattern of showers and thunderstorms and enhance rainfall and gusty storms along the southeastern coast of the United States.

On occasion, features such as this can transform into a potent tropical system. However, this risk is very low at this time.

99L may develop, become a concern for US

A more organized batch of showers and thunderstorms, referred to as 99L, was located hundreds of miles farther east over the Central Atlantic.

When batches of thunderstorms in the Atlantic Ocean have the potential to become a tropical depression or storm, they are given a number between 90 and 99. The "L" designation refers to a system under investigation in the Atlantic.

"We noticed an uptick in thunderstorms and some spin to the cloud cover on Monday," according to AccuWeather Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski.

RELATED: AccuWeather Hurricane Center Franklin may make second landfall in Mexico as Atlantics first hurricane of 2017 What's the difference between hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones?

"However, 99L will be moving into a zone of dry air and strong wind shear over the next couple of days," Kottlowski said.

Wind shear is the changing of speed and direction of winds at different layers of the atmosphere. Strong wind shear can prevent tropical development or diminish the intensity of tropical storms and hurricanes.

While 99L could become a tropical depression at any time, rapid strengthening seems unlikely in the short term as the system became more disorganized again on Tuesday.

It is likely that 99L will take a general path just northeast of the Leeward Islands later this week.

"Should 99L survive the dry air and wind shear, it could strengthen near or just northeast of the Bahamas this weekend," Kottlowski said.

The next name on the list of Atlantic tropical storms is Gert.

An arm of showers and thunderstorms associated with 99L can extend southward in parts of the Leeward Islands later Thursday and Friday.

How extensive the rainfall is will depend on the exact track of the system.

In the long range, if the system develops, then it could be drawn close to the Atlantic coast of the U.S. next week. Interests in the Bahamas and along the U.S. Atlantic coast should monitor the progress of 99L.

Hundreds of miles farther west, Franklin will inundate Mexico with flooding and mudslides over the span of a few days this week. Franklin may become the first hurricane of the 2017 Atlantic season.
