UWI edge Reno in ill-tempered match
Reno FC goalkeeper Dennis Keeper saved one penalty and then had another scored on him as visiting UWI FC edged the home team 1-0 in an ill-tempered Red Stripe Premier League game at the Frome Sports Ground yesterday to move to 10 points in the standings.Roshane Smith converted from the penalty spot in the 86th minute, but it was an 82nd-minute Reno substitution that changed the game in UWI’s favour, bringing on Bershan Bryan for the tiring Junior Neil.Taylor was impressive early in the first half as he denied Kemar Flemmings when he dived to his left to parry a 45th-minute penalty to keep the team level heading into the half-time break.But all his good work was undone late in the second half as the awfully slow Bryan gave up possession at a critical position on the field, allowing Smith to pounce.The forward darted inside the area, with Taylor rushing off his line, but the keeper’s mistimed grab for the ball upended the UWI player, leaving little for referee Veralton Nembhard to do but point to the spot.He then stroked the ball off the upright and into the goal to secure the win for UWI, who, up to that point, were willing, it would seem, to settle for a point away from home.Reno had earlier come close to taking the lead twice, but squandered good chances to leave their supporters equally vexed at the doomed substitution as with the referee’s decision.APPEAL DENIEDIt was UWI’s third successive victory against Reno at the Frome ground, but they were, indeed, lucky this time around, as Reno also had an appeal for a penalty turned down in the 77th minute.UWI lost Jamie Robinson, while Reno FC’s Omar Johnson were both shown the red card in the 67th minute for striking out at each other during a challenge just outside the Reno 18-yard area, leaving the teams playing the remainder of the match with ten men, respectively.Andrew Peart, the UWI assistant coach, said they are grateful to have come away with the victory, adding that it was a tough encounter, but that his team’s tenacity paid off.”We made the last penalty count, having missed one earlier in the match, so yes, we are grateful for the win,” said Peart.But a clearly disappointed Wendell Downswell said he has to take responsibility for the substitution that brought Bryan into the play.”He looked good in training and he had instructions, but it turned out to be a bad change and it cost us at least a point here,” Downswell admitted.”Things like this happen from time to time and we are not happy. We had our chances, but that decision actually took the game from us,” he told The Gleaner.

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The City of Fort St. John says, effective Dec. 15, they have been deemed a ‘drone-free city’ by Transport Canada — following new federal regulations.The regulations in question state that drone-flyers can’t fly their drones closer than 9 km from any airport, or higher than 90 metres above the ground. They also explicitly state that drones shouldn’t be flown closer than 150 metres to large groups of people, events, moving vehicles, or close to first responders.Managing Director of North Peace Regional Airport Mike Whalley says drones interfering with the Airport haven’t been a problem in the past. However, he does say that drones, no matter how big or small, shouldn’t be flown near the airport anyhow.- Advertisement -“Most of what you’re buying at Wal-mart, or that sort of thing, are capable of going to a couple hundred feet,” he says.“That could cause a problem with inbound and outbound traffic at the airport, so we highly advise against the use of anything in that nature within the vicinity of the airport. But, in open farmers fields away from the airport — by all means, have fun.”Drones that weigh more than 25 kg and are used for work/research have to be approved for a Special Flight Operations Certificate. The regulations also state that there are exemptions and conditions to be met for smaller drones used for non-recreational purposes.Advertisement

Danny Murphy has backed Manchester United’s move for Romelu Lukaku, claiming the prolific striker is only going to get better at Old Trafford.United are plotting a £75million bid for the Belgian star and are hopeful of getting a deal done, although Everton insist they have yet to receive an approach and value the 24-year-old at closer to £100m.Lukaku has struck 85 Premier League goals over the past five seasons for Everton and West Brom and Murphy reckons he would be an excellent signing for Jose Mourinho’s side – whatever the cost.Speaking to Jim White on talkSPORT, the former Liverpool and England midfielder said: “His goals to games ratio in the Premier League for West Brom and Everton is absolutely sensational, really, when you think about the level those teams are at compared to the big boys.“If he is getting 20 goals at Everton and 18 or whatever it was at West Brom, logic suggests he is going to get more chances at a better team. He is a 20-goal-a-season striker proven in the Premier League and, for me, there is no way he can’t get better playing with better players.“When you play any level of football, if you jump up a level usually everything becomes a bit easier. You would also think that less of his energy is going to be used defending when they dominate possession in so many games they play.“There is an argument to suggest he will come up against more packed defences where he doesn’t have the space to run behind. Well, I don’t see that as a problem for him because he loves the ball on the edge of the box, rolling people because of his strength. I think it [Lukaku to United] fits.“When you look at what is out there, it fits.”

Asthma sufferers in Donegal say the condition has robbed them of their lives and that it is not taken seriously enough.Hundreds of young Donegal children suffer from asthma.A total of 15, 894 people across Donegal live with asthma.Many of these patients from Donegal attended Ireland’s largest patient event for all those living with asthma. The Asthma Society of Ireland held the event to mark the launch of their “Living with Asthma” study results.This study, and the dialogue between the Asthma Society and asthma sufferers on the impact that this condition has on quality of life, confirmed the immediate need for the implementation of the National Clinical Programme.Highlighting the findings of the Living with Asthma study, the Asthma Society found that people in Donegal with asthma are frustrated and feel lost.They feel that asthma has robbed them of their lives and that it is not taken seriously enough. In Ireland asthma affects 470,000 people, with over 15, 800 people affected in Donegal alone, we have the fourth highest prevalence of asthma worldwide. Participants of the Living with Asthma study revealed that they feel there is a “one size fits all” system of management in Ireland, and that they are not treated as individuals with specific goals and outcomes. They believe this is because asthma is so prevalent, therefore appearing to be less important.The need for primary care solutions is apparent, with the results of the survey revealing that people with asthma feel abandoned by the system. They describe their experience of disjointed services and poor follow-on care as distressing. Approximately one person a week dies as a result of asthma, yet 90% of these deaths are preventable.Commmenting on the Living with Asthma results, Sharon Cosgrove CEO Asthma Society of Ireland said the resilience and personal strength of people with asthma is remarkable.“They describe the relentless need to be vigilant and aware of their own bodies all the time, and of the unpredictable nature of asthma, with the constant fear of things getting worse. They are limiting their activity levels, giving up hobbies and withdrawing from social and family life because of their asthma.“They are embarrassed about taking medication publically; they are being teased and seen as lazy, overweight and inactive. These are very significant impacts on wellbeing and are without a doubt taking its toll. We are calling on the Government to take these findings under advisement and support a new approach to asthma management.” “I would like to thank the Living with Asthma study sponsors, Boehringer Ingelheim for their help on this research. With their support, we now have the information to further understand and empower our members with the support they need.”Speaking at the event Asthma patient and Paralympic Athlete Darragh McDonald said “Asthma impacts families throughout Ireland in different ways and can negatively affect people’s mental health, their self confidence and stop them from doing every day activities like exercising or running for a bus; but it doesn’t have to be that way.“The Asthma Society of Ireland is helping people throughout Ireland live well with asthma. Our message is that living with asthma doesn’t mean you can’t be healthy and achieve your goals. With the right education and supports, I haven’t let asthma hold me back from competing as a Paralympian. I urge everyone to follow my lead and contact the Asthma Society to find out what they can do to change the way they are living with asthma.”There are more than 5,000 admissions per year to hospital for asthma treatment, with the average cost of a hospital admission for asthma costing a staggering €2,737. Every 26 minutes someone with asthma attends a hospital emergency department. The burden of the financial cost of asthma stands out in the Living with Asthma report, with some extremely troubling disclosures; people described how they skip their medication, GP visits and have even started travelling abroad to buy cheaper medicationPeople with chronic illnesses such as asthma find themselves labeled and marginalised due to a lack of awareness from others about their condition. The Asthma Society of Ireland aims to empower and provide those affected by Asthma with the support they need and the reassurance that there is a secure and safe place where they can get information and support on an on-going basis.For advice or support on asthma, or for further information about the Asthma Society of Ireland visit www.asthma.ie or call 1850 44 54 64DONEGAL’S 15,894 ASTHMA SUFFERERS SAY NOT ENOUGH IS BEING DONE TO HELP THEM was last modified: February 27th, 2015 by StephenShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)Tags:asthmadonegalinhalers
