    Escale la Martinique pour Queen Maureen

    'Ce titre de Championne du Monde aprs avoir t Championne dEurope en 2002, est une confirmation de ce que je suis capable de faire...Le 08 novembre 2010, dans lenceinte du Grand Palais Paris, Maureen NISIMA devenait Championne du Monde dEpe. Elle y croyait, et avec elle, toute la Martinique. Certains navaient pas hsit faire le dplacement pour soutenir et encourager leur championne.Maureen y a t sensible et a senti toute son le derrire elle. Aussi, pour les remercier, mais galement parcequelle a besoin de se retrouver chez elle, auprs de sa famille, elle a ffectu un court passage par la Martinique. Nous lavons rencontre pour voquer avec elle, son titre, sa carrire mais aussi son le, ses souvenirs, sa Martinique...

  • Caribbean Sport Mag - Mars 2011 - 15

    Maureen on suppose que ce retour en Martinique a pour vous une saveur particulire? Pouvez-vous nous la dcrire?

    Cette saveur particulire cest laccueil que mont fait les Martiniquais ici. La Martinique tait venue avec moi au grand palais, ma famille avait fait le dplacement mais beaucoup navaient pu faire le voyage. Et cest vrai que jai profit davoir t la marraine de lopration Mac Happy Days avec Mc Donalds et cest cette opration l qui ma permis de faire dune pierre deux coups et de venir fter a avec ma famille.

    Cela veut dire que vous avez encore de fortes attaches avec la Martinique...

    He bien oui... dja tout simplement parce que mes parents vivent ici. Aujourdhui tous leurs enfants sont Paris pour leurs tudes mais jusquau mois de juin il y avait encore mon petit frre avec eux. Et moi je viens au moins une fois par an, si mon planning me le permet et si mon entraineur me laisse partir aussi. Je viens me ressourcer, jai vraiment besoin de venir reprendre des forces ici, de venir la rencontre de mes parents, passer du temps avec mes grands parents puisque jai encore la chance davoir mes grands parents et jaime tre avec eux.

    Que reprsente ce titre tes yeux, une juste rcompense pour les efforts que tu as fournis ou est-ce juste une tape de ce que tu as envi daccomplir? As-tu encore faim?

    Forcment jai encore faim. A mon palmars il me manque un titre olympique, alors oui, jai encore faim. Deuximement, ce titre de Championne du Monde aprs avoir t Championne dEurope en 2002, cest une confirmation de ce que je suis capable de faire. Beaucoup en ont dout, parceque jai accumul des ppins physiques, mais pas moi.Dans ce cas, la solution la plus facile aurait t dabandonner, de reprendre mes tudes dans un cursus normal, de trouver un travail... Pourtant jai continu malgr tout et jai encore envie de continuer.Cela dit demain ma route sera encore parseme dembuches, mais ce titre me permet de dire que quelque soit ce qui sest pass et les difficults venir, jai ma carte jouer et jai raison de le faire.

    Quest-ce que a changera pour toi. Dans tes rapports avec les autres, tes entrainements, tes ambitions...

    La seule chose que a changera, cest mon statut au niveau de lescrime. Maintenant, on me prendra au srieux, on regardera diffremment ma faon de mentrainer. Mme si jaime la critique parceque cela me permet de me remettre en question, peut tre que les gens seront plus attentifs, moins critiques, plus mon coute. Peut tre que jaurai moins prouver. Je perdrai moins de temps prouver que jai raison, et tout ce temps l je le gagnerai en progression dans mon jeu et dans ma prparation physique. Par contre, linconvnient majeur est quaujourdhui je suis un peu la cible, le fait dtre sur le devant de la scne fait de moi une cible pour mes adversaires deux ans des jeux.

    Tu croiseras sans doute des adversaires de la Carabe sur ton chemin. Notamment de Cuba. Que penses tu du niveau de lescrime dans la Carabe ?

    En fait les cubaines ne participent malheureusement pas beaucoup de rendez-vous internationaux et cest dommage. Elles sont dja trs fortes en sortant peu. Je crois quil y a un vivier de Champions du Monde incroyable dans cette le, avec si peu de moyens. Cest presque du gchis. Jaimerais beaucoup que les jeunes escrimeurs de Martinique fassent plus dchange avec

    Cuba. Je pense que cela leur apporterait beaucoup tant sportivement parceque cest vraiement une nation descrime qui gagne tre plus connue et reconnue, mais aussi en terme dhumilit.

    Revenons tes attaches sur lle aux fleurs, quel est ton meilleur souvenir de la Martinique?

    Il y en a des tonnes parceque je viens en Martinique depuis que jai quelques mois, quasiment tous les ans. Mais je pense que mon arrive cette anne laroport doit en faire partie. Jai eu un comit daccueil exceptionnel et je ne mattendais pas autant de monde. Aprs ce sont plutt des souvenirs de vacances avec mes cousins et cousines o on faisait toutes les btises possibles et imaginables. On est une famille trs nombreuse et on vit bien ensemble. On est une bonne gnration de cousins et cousines, on sentend trs bien et on rigole beaucoup.

    Une question sur la Carabe, je sais que tu connais Cuba o tu as disput une comptition. As-tu dja visit dautres les?

    Oui, je suis alle Sainte Lucie. Lanne des Jeux Olympiques, je navais pas t slectionne et je lavais trs mal vcu. Je me suis rfugie dans un spa Sainte Lucie parceque javais besoin de mloigner de toute lagitation de Pkin, un endroit o je nentendrais pas parler des jeux. Il ny avait pas de tl, pas de radio. Jtais coupe du monde, je me suis occupe de moi, pendant une semaine. Jai fait des soins, jai fait la friday night, et ctait la troisime ou quatrime fois que jy allais, cest toujours aussi bien et jadore. Je suis reste une semaine Sainte Lucie.

    Tu en as visiblement garde de bon souvenirs...Trs bon souvenirs.. je crois que jy retournerai. En tous cas je conseille tous mes amis qui veulent se couper du

    monde, daller l bas parce que cest le top. Moi en tous cas jy retournerai.

    A ce sujet, quelle est ta destination vacance prfre?Ma destination vacance prfre je crois justement que a a t Sainte Lucie.

Il a cum dja tous les cours de salsa Paris et il est pas mal. Cette anne pendant le stage terminal, le soir quand on sennuyait il me donnait des cours de salsa. Sinon jai dans plusieurs annes dans un ballet folklorique en rgion Parisienne qui sappelait feeling dj. Jai mme fait une premire partie de concert au znith.

As you may assume, every single serious poker player in tow gender unconsidered- flew directly to the 10-day festival hoping to participate in at least of the 50 poker tournaments on schedule.

    Highpoints of the showThis year, organizers thought that it would be a good idea to mix business with pleasure, and participants couldnt agree more. Thats how the first Fish & Chips Showdown came to birth on January 6-7, a unique two-day event combining sport fishing and poker in a hybrid Man vs Fish contest of determination. As you can guess, participants sipped some free drinks at the closing private reception on Nov 7 where they could gauge each other before the following day card play. Indeed, this last plug-in introduced a nice twist to the event, since the best performers of the Fish & Chips tournament set the stage for card play at the poker tables on the next day. Well, no

    need to maintain the suspense, as some had already bet, the American Galen Hall passed victorious the last closing stage of the main event with the biggest prize: $2300000 in cash! This hefty sum was hard-won against a few 1560 players who contributed to the incredible $15 132 000 total prize pool. In the $100 000 Super High Roller, Eugene Katchalov took center stage with 1500000$ in final prize. $25000 High Roller was taken away by William with his $1072850while Leo Fernandez et Maxim Lyko, Team PokerStars Pros finished 2nd et 3rd. And away from the soccer field, Italy made a statement by winning World Cup of Poker title, captained by Team Pro Luca Pagano.

    Saint Lucia Jazz has become one of the major events on Saint Lucias calendar of events and surely a most anticipated event on the Caribbeans calendar. During the month of May, the island dances to the beat of jazz when music fills the air and tourism takes on a whole new meaning to all. What started like natural marketing event to boost tourist arrivals during a low peak period, has now developed into a truly Saint Lucian Festival.As the month of May approaches each year, Saint Lucia Jazz continues to bring attention to the island as the world waits in eager anticipation of what promises to be a star studded line-up. In 1999, Saint Lucia Jazz took on a new dimension with the addition of more side attractions, i.e. supporting jazz performances aside from main stage events. This created a more festive atmosphere and allowed the Saint Lucian public and visitors to participate in these events at little cost and quite a few free events as well. Jazz in the South with shows being in the village of Laborie and the towns of Vieux Fort and Soufriere all contribute towards making Saint Lucia Jazz a truly Saint Lucian experience for visitors and locals alike.

    20 years on and still the Best Party in the Caribbean

    DISCOVERY DCOUVERTE / DESCUBRIMIENTO

    Heres the story of how Saint Lucia Jazz came about, and why it has become the leading event on Saint Lucias calendar of events and the most popular in the region.After setting festival benchmarks and establishing a long standing history as the best party in the Caribbean for years running, the annual Saint Lucia Jazz is set to record another milestone.The 2011edition of the vastly popular musical event, which represents the biggest activity on the Saint Lucias Tourist Boards (SLTB) special events calendar, will celebrate two decades of existence when the 20th edition is launched on January 17th at the St.Lucia Golf Club in Cap Estate. For the first time in its 20 year history the event is being simultaneously launched in front

    of a captive audience at Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association (CHTA) Marketplace in Jamaica.In announcing the dates for the 2011edition Saint Lucia Jazz, Special Events Committee Chairman Cuthbert Didier told a highly anticipative audience, in true legendary style the first set of world acclaimed acts would take to the stage on April 30, to be followed by a steady stream of international renowned artistes throughout the two-week period before the curtains came done with the usual fireworks display on May 8.Didier said the survivability of Saint Lucia Jazz was attributed to constant improvements and innovations in the product and the way it which it was presented to patrons. That approach he said had allowed the

    government, the SLTB and its valued partners to grow the event; feature a healthy cadre of Saint Lucian entertainers alongside regional and international counterparts; and attract increasing visitors from around the world to the islands shores.Didier noted that several innovations would characterize the 20th anniversary edition like devoting specific days to varying genres of music. Wednesday and Thursday nights he exclaimed, Would feature Straight Ahead Jazz with the weekend shows dedicated to World Music; Rhythm and Blues (R&B) as well as Funk and Contemporary Jazz.Another anticipated highlight of Saint Lucia Jazz 2011 would be one of the largest groupings of local acts to take to the stage to date. An ensemble of Saint Lucians jazz icons will make up the Saint Lucian Collective, who will perform a mlange of sweet pulsating Caribbean beats.The 2011 Saint Lucia Jazz lineup is headlined by six time Grammy winner John Legend and includes accomplished acts like Jazz fusion quartet Yellowjackets, violinist Regina

    Carter, Saint Lucian saxophonist Augustin Jab Duplessis, saxophonist Maceo Parker, Hatian Creole Band Carimi, African vocalist Angelique Kidjo, Saint Lucian vocalist Mervyn Wilkison, Jamaican reggae band Morgan Heritage, and many more.

    DISCOVERY DCOUVERTE / DESCUBRIMIENTO

    Saint Lucia Jazz marks its 20th anniversary in 2011. In a region where music festivals tend to die off around their 7th year, the internationally acclaimed festival that our tiny island has managed to sustain is definitely something every Saint Lucian can be proud of. As we enter our 20th year, it is worthwhile to take a look back at how it all began.In 1991, a small group of dedicated people got together to come up with new and exciting ways to market Saint Lucia and specifically to increase tourist arrivals in the traditionally slow month of May. Saint Lucia Jazz was conceived out of a need to advance Saint Lucias marketing efforts to a new dimension in order to raise the islands visibility overseas. With tourism increasingly being called upon to play a leading role in Saint Lucias economic development, it became imperative to increase

    the awareness of Saint Lucia in the main generating tourism markets. With a limited marketing budget and significant levels of advertising being undertaken by our competitors, the objective was simple: develop an activity /promotional tool which would command international attention and be minimal in cost.Out of this brainstorming came the idea for Saint Lucia Jazz. Organizers wanted a festival that would put Saint Lucia on the map, but at the time they felt that it would be difficult to stage such an event given their limited resources to say the least and so, the idea was met with much criticism. Other islands such as Aruba and Curacao had already tried to stage Jazz Festivals and had failed miserably. Other critics felt that Jazz wasnt he medium through which Saint Lucia should be marketed, after all it wasnt indigenous. Nevertheless, the 1st Saint Lucia

    Jazz Festival was staged in 1992. It was relatively small, poorly attended with only 4 venues. Jazz obviously did not do as well as they had expected and they were about ready to give up. But they didnt. They went back to the drawing board and worked on making it better. By 1994 their perseverance paid off and Jazz evolved into what we know it to be today - a careful mix of Acoustical and Fusion jazz with R&B. The development of the fringe has only enhanced this mix, shifting Jazz from a nucleus of small hotel and club venues to a 10-day event that permeates the entire island. Virtually a separate festival in itself, the Fringe events such as Jazz in the South, feature distinct Afro-Caribbean flavour and has kept the audiences growing both in number and satisfaction.Saint Lucia Jazz had two main objectives. One, to provide a platform to showcase Saint Lucia to a broad cross-section of potential visitors and the other, to redress the traditional trough period in May, so that visitor arrivals and occupancy levels would be on par with that of the winter period. These objectives became broader as Saint Lucia Jazz developed to include the use of radio, television and print media at little or no cost to the St. Lucia Tourist Board, through trade for mentions and other barter arrangements. These efforts strengthen the awareness of Saint Lucia by increasing the number of gross impressions the island receives which develops desirability for, and travel to the island year round. In addition, Saint Lucia Jazz has become an outlet for local expression and economic opportunities, and develops the necessary infrastructure for event productions.

    Osteopathic Medicine is really efficient for athletes suf-fering from join and muscles problem as well as to pre-vent coming injuries and to improve physical capabilities. Athletes, more than other people take their bodies to their limit. Nevertheless, at both amateur and pro level, they try to work toward the same goals: preventing their body from injuries, maximize their performance, and decrease their recovery period. To reach those goals the contribution of a Doctor of Osteopathy is a real added value.

    What is Osteopathy exactly?Osteopathy is the science of human mechanics. An Osteopath diagnoses and treats imbalance within the neuro-musculo-skeletal system. This is the system of the body which includes bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, tendon and nerves of the body. These imbalances often manifest as pain in the back, neck, and other parts of the body.

    What will a first visit involve?

    When you visit an Osteopath for the first time, a full medical history will be taken. You will then be examined by the Osteopath to assess the range and quality of movements of the joints. If there is any restriction or imbalance detected, the Osteopath will treat that area.

    What does osteopathic treatment involve?

    An Osteopath will use his/her hands to discover the cause of pain and to treat the affected area of the body holistically. Treatment may involve soft tissue stretching, passive joint mobilization and manipulation.

    Is Osteopathy holistic?Osteopathy is holistic in that it looks at the whole body structure along with all the other systems of the body, and judges how they may be

    affected by treatment and the influence they may have on a painful condition. For example in treating someone for low back pain, a previous knee injury will be taken into consideration. And recent bout of the flu will also be taken into account. Postural and ergonomic factors will be considered. The patients state of mind will also influence the body, so stress levels will also be taken into consideration. All of the above factors can contribute to symptoms of pain and discomfort. Observing and

    dealing with the symptoms holistically is what makes osteopathy so effective.

    What conditions would an Osteopath treat?

    Pain in the back and neckHeadaches with neck and shoulder tension

    Sports injuriesWork related muscular strainJoint strainMusculo-skeletal imbalances caused by pregnancyStiffness and body pain related to ageingColicky babies and children with sleep disorders.

    Back education exercisesMany incidents of pain come from poor

    use of the body in the work-place. And people find that they are unable to find

    time for regular exercise. As a result the spine supporting the muscle it is easy to

    strain your back or for the back to feel tired.Weakness in the musculo-skeletal support

    system can also be a direct result of chronic back pain. Learning specific back strengthening exercises

    can help you to mobilize your spine, and to strengthen your muscles in order to maintain good posture.

    Post-Injury RehabilitationIt is common for the injured area of the body to become weakened from restricted use during the painful stage. Rehabilitation exercises are specific to the injured area, and help the patient to return to normal functioning.

    Remedial MassageRemedial massage is given specially to the site of pain. It is especially effective with :

    - Neck and shoulder tension- Frozen shoulder- Lower back muscle spasm- Muscular spasm or strain from sporting injuries

    Stress ManagementAt the LUU Harmony medical practice we recognize how stressful life has become. The fast pace of life with increased pressure from demanding work schedules give rise to stress at many different levels. When you enter in the health practice, the atmosphere is a peaceful retreat from the busy world outside. The natural healing processes are facilitated by this relaxation response.Many problems in the musculo-skeletal system arise from the high levels of stress that we encounter on a daily basis. Osteopathic Medicine can help you to release the manifestation of stress related symptoms in the body and can deal with the above symptoms by giving appropriate and relevant instructions on relaxation techniques

    Osteopathic Medicine is good for you !
