Club in Buenos Aires This is Roye’s second time at the championship while Lue will be making his debut Roye is Jamaica's reigning national golf champion while Lue is one the country’s best junior golfers and both are familiar with representing Jamaica internationally Roye’s best world ranking is 487 and that is built on his four-event wins in 2024 along with the results from his other events Lue on the other hand is further back at 1274 with two wins during the period under review They will first be challenged to make the cut after the first two days and then see where they end on the leaderboard Jamaica’s best placement at the championship is 24th by Ian Facey back in 2015 There are twenty-eight countries and over one hundred golfers in the championship this year The list includes some familiar competitors such as Barbados the Cayman Islands and Trinidad and Tobago Omar Morales of Mexico who is aiming to win the championship for the first time president of the Jamaica Golf Association said that she was proud of the two-man team that is selected to represent Jamaica this year at the championship “(I am) Very proud to know that both Zandre Roye and Ryan Lue have qualified for the Latin America Amateur Championships in Argentina I know that both boys have been preparing well for the event and they will give it their best efforts and I am hopeful that both of them will make it to the weekend and finish out with strong golf and of course making Jamaica proud.” In addition to the fact that Roye seemed to struggle with penalties last season he was facing some tough competition heading into the 2025 campaign Maryland signed coveted transfer target Rahtrel Perry from the portal along with signing two offensive tackles in the '25 recruiting class in Lamar Williams and Ben Beymer Even with those additions Maryland's offensive line has lost some significant pieces and the loss of Roye only adds to the challenge of replacing those pieces Roye was a former

College Park Maryland Basketball: Rodney Rice announces another in-person visit SOME OF the golfers in this year’s Caymanas Golf Classic were challenged mentally and physically when they had to complete three rounds of golf in two days to gain WAGR (World Amateur golf ranking) points which allows them to play in more tournaments across the region and the world Zandre Roye was the big winner in that section while the Jamaica Golf Association’s president won the Ladies’ section of the two-day tournament Roye was able to stay focused under extreme heat and windy conditions to play 54 holes in two days to post scores of two-over-par 74 and seven-over-par 79 for a combined 10-over-par 226 who recently graduated from the junior ranks was just three strokes back in second place on 13-over-par 229 while Oshae Haye was a further three strokes back on 16-over-par 232 “The conditions were tough over the weekend Yesterday was a little bit better than today The course dried out a lot today and it really played difficult putting wedges weren’t holding in the greens so you really had to strategically execute your shots out there and I think I managed it well I had a game plan and I just went out there and tried to execute my game plan to the best of my abilities and Dave Cameron also took on the challenge in the Men’s Senior 0-6 category and returned scores of 18-over-par 234 Some local pros played in the tournament as well with Sebert Walker Jr scoring a similar total score of 10-over-par 226 as Roye Raymond Brown was just one stroke back on 227 and Orville Christie was a further six strokes back on 17-over-par 233 Owen Samuda and Munn-Barrow topped the golfers in the two-day/18-hole section of the tournament Samuda scored seven-over-par 151 to get the better of William Lee who posted 12-over-par 157 in the Men & Men’s Senior 0-6 category After ending on a strong year last year and the beginning of this year coming back out fresh and winning the first one Munn-Barrow played two good rounds of golf on the back of two-under-par 70 and three-over-par 75 for a combined score of just one-over-par 145 She was surprised but pleased with the results I haven’t been playing that much because of work commitments so I think my expectations were a little bit low So I’m very pleased with the two-day performance [I] do have to find some more time to put in some more practice to get my game going even better than it is now but overall I’m happy with the results.” Munn-Barrow gave a sneak preview into what is in store this year when the JGA will celebrate 100 years of existence We’re currently just finalising some activities that we’re gonna be doing for the year and these would include doing some grow-the-game clinics inviting people to come and learn to play golf We’re gonna be doing an end-of-year awards banquet and prize giving and then we’re gonna have also our major fundraiser; and we’re gonna elevate that to celebrate the 100 years’ activities and then of course We’re gonna try to do something a little bit more special for the Open But it’s a big deal and we’re trying to get everything finalised Talking to sponsors right now to get people on board so that we can really elevate it to what it deserves to be 100 years of this association is something great that needs to be recognised.” Some of the other golfers who had podium finishes included former President of the JGA Wayne Chai-Chong which was held last Sunday at the Caymanas Golf Club in St Catherine is the first golf tournament of the year on the JGA calendar View the

After spending years bootstrapping his comics in 2021 he signed an exclusive deal with Dark Horse Comics to publish 10 YouNeek titles Okupe spoke with me about creating Afrocentric comics for a global audience You studied animation at George Washington University I read that you created an animated trailer for an African superhero in the early 2000s and one producer you showed it to said it might work if you changed the superhero's race jumping on board to be part of projects that featured a Nigerian superhero or [took] place in Nigeria The only reason why I'm so passionate about what I'm doing is because he's a character that looks like me and it features my culture do you think there was anything to what that producer had to say do you think the Black Panther phenomenon provided something that American audiences were already looking for or did it convince American audiences that an African superhero was someone they could relate to but a global audience has been ready for this for a while [turn] the animated short film into [a] trailer for the graphic novel .. people from Europe who had ordered these books Do you think comics readers have always been more open to superheroes from unfamiliar backgrounds than your typical American moviegoer Or do you think you were able to succeed in comics because it's a cheaper medium If I had [through] some miracle been able to put together a lot of money and created an animated film .. who's to say that the animated film wouldn't have been successful in 2014 I just think people in general were ready for that it's a medium that I could afford to do on my own Which of your characters has been most successful in the U.S. If I were to say [which is most] financially successful That's a historical fantasy story that takes place in a pre-colonial West Africa A lot happened after the unfortunate incident with George Floyd — where a lot of people started to support Black businesses let's see what Black businesses we can support." They really saw this as something that [they could] put [all their] resources behind and .. that was the second time you've equated your role as a Black creator with being African I want [people] in different parts of Asia or Europe to be able to see this character and see themselves .. be able to see what they don't necessarily see in mainstream media Can you give us any teasers about your next book It's a story about a guy that gets the spirit of a legendary protector reincarnated into himself The twist is that our hero is actually the chief [of] security for a dictator of [his] country so he has to decide what side he wants to play on One of the things I try to talk about in the story is the price of blind loyalty We all have to navigate that in our lives at some point in time Etelka Lehoczky has written about books for The Atlantic, The Los Angeles Review of Books and The New York Times.

Pediatric orthopedics, I would argue is the only academic orthopedic specialty where you can still look at the whole patient.” Before he began at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Ben was a pediatric orthopedist at a competing hospital but that didn’t stop his father from scrubbing in to assist in complex cases before I came to NewYork-Presbyterian I didn’t have colleagues with my dad’s experience,” Ben says “My dad got attending privileges at my hospital and would scrub in with me There was always a feeling of comfort and confidence to have him there helping out.” David says Ben shares the qualities of being “amazingly calm and competent” in the operating room Ben will scrub in with his dad at least once a month When they are together in the operating room David and Ben even like the same background music and some classic stuff and Ben does the same,” David says Asked how he ended up with similar taste in music “I used to buy all his music for him when I was a resident.” and he is way trendier than me from a fashion standpoint.” David and Ben are happy to consult each other on cases “I help him as much as he helps me,” Ben says David recalls a recent case involving a patella (kneecap) fracture and he asked Ben to come in and take a look at the X-rays and give his opinion David was with two other highly respected pediatric orthopedic surgeons — Dr Michael Vitale — and when Ben left the room The desire in the Roye family to pursue careers in science and medicine didn’t stop with David and Ben and the youngest just finished a master’s program in videography meaning there could be a new generation of Roye orthopedic surgeons “It’s a little bit early,” David says of Ben’s children “but I could see both of them pursuing orthopedic surgery — for sure.” David

College of Physicians and Surgeons Ben Roye is a pediatric orthopedic surgeon at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital and an assistant professor of orthopedic surgery at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons TEXT By OLIVIER LAURENT | Photo Edit By MARIE TOBIAS & BIANCA SILVA “It’s messed up but it’s nothing new,” Scott answered “It is something that has been going on since the beginning of time We as black people just need to prepare ourselves for anything.” For many, Roye (@ruddyroye) has become the photographer most closely associated with that struggle As a black photographer who has spent the last few years shining a light on the difficulties of other black men he brings to his work an unwavering determination that can border on activism his Instagram profile is clear about his aim: he’s a humanist; an activist “I think being a dad has taught me how to be empathetic It has taught me a lot more about patience than anything else could have It has taught me to see the world in dualities.” is what sets Roye’s Instagram account apart and landed him the title of TIME’s Instagram Photographer of 2016 tells the stories of people in all of their glory I felt like I was hurting and I wanted to talk about my hurt.” He realized that the best way to do that was through other people’s stories “So I started to look for stories that were my stories It was easy to just sit down with somebody and talk about them being disenfranchised or being unable to feed their family Roye’s Instagram became a space where he could shine a light on a section of his community – one that he felt was hurting “there’s this guy around the corner every day So I started to use Instagram as a place where everybody would see him This was a window where these folks would no longer be invisible.” Roye has continuously photographed black people in and around his neighborhood and across America each time with the stated goal of making people rethink their views and society-wide prejudices “And if I can make you think about a particular subject matter before you even start to talk about it My aim is to change your thought process.” In the service of that goal, Roye has crisscrossed America from his neighborhood of Bedford–Stuyvesant in Brooklyn to Dallas, Baton Rouge, Chicago and Minneapolis Take for example his work in Baton Rouge in the days following the death of Alton Sterling “When I go to a place that I’m unfamiliar with my job is not to bring with me what I feel about the shooting or the fact that I know Baton Rouge has gun-toting gangsters,” he says I concentrate on that – until the gangster appears But I do not bring any external perceptions.” To further counter these long-established perceptions Roye’s images are always accompanied by comprehensive captions that convey the voices of his subjects “The most important thing my father told me is that you always introduce yourself I’ve always found it pertinent to say: ‘My name is Ruddy It’s about connecting with his subjects in a photographic industry in which photographers are told that they should always put distance between themselves and their subjects “We’re told that if there’s a disconnect then we can be impartial,” he says A huge part of every story I do is a piece of me he wants his colleagues to pay more attention to the images they’re putting out into the world Roye drew industry attention at a National Geographic seminar when he publicly questioned the photographer Lauren Greenfield about her work which investigates women’s relationships with their bodies Roye asked Greenfield why there were so few black women represented in her book [It contains only three pictures of black women out of 107 images.] Roye’s goal wasn’t to shame Greenfield Instead he wants to challenge his colleagues to pay more attention to how they’re representing their subjects “I’m not saying that I don’t trust other folks,” he says “I’m not saying that people can’t take the image It’s not to say that Roye thinks he’s a better photographer since Donald Trump’s prediction-defying election the photographer has been reassessing the work he’s done this year referring to his lack of focus on the struggles of people who chose the Republican candidate over Hillary Clinton What about what’s going on in Pennsylvania?’ And I didn’t do some stories there That’s something I want to change in these upcoming four years.” Roye will shed his black photographer label – one that has stuck to him so closely that even his own 11-year-old son defines him as such ‘What does your father do?’ And he said that I’m a black photographer that photographs black people ‘You realize that I photograph other people too.’ But he goes Until somebody else comes and grabs that title

exactly what happened to him Some sources say Roye died in prison after having been dragged half-naked through the streets of Monrovia for his attempt to escape from prison Other accounts report Roye was drowned while swimming to a British ship in the harbor with a money belt around his waist "There was a lot of discrimination based on wealth Malakpa said three reasons led to Roye's demise The second was that he wanted to build railroads and schools in the backcountry to educate the natives But the straw that broke the camel's back was his desire to extend the term limit of the presidency The building of the True Whig Party (Roye's party) was named after him The placement of the building is said to be the exact spot where he died But the civil war from 1989 to 2003 devastated the whole city "This is our efforts as Liberians to come to know the worth value and foresight of Roye," Malakpa said A lot has changed for the Warriors as they’ve moved into a new arena with 10 new players One constant on the radio dial is Tim Roye who has been calling games since the 1995-96 season I recently chatted on the phone with Roye, who has experienced the lowest of lows and highest of highs the NBA has to offer We discussed what it was like during the down years and what it’ll be like to work for the first time with a color commentator — Tom Tolbert at home Jim Barnett on the road — for all 82 games What was your involvement with the Kings before you came to the Warriors My contract was was terminated from KTAR radio in Phoenix because they brought in a new guy He didn’t like the talk show that Greg Schulte (now the radio voice of the Diamondbacks) and I were doing was hard facts and stories and we didn’t do a lot of bells and whistles back then And so they brought in this guy and the new general manager signed this guy while I was on vacation and announced it to the press I had an answering machine and that was about it So I was on vacation of all places in the Bay Area I hadn’t been in San Francisco since I was a little kid And I checked my messages and the program director says “Call me right away.” So I call him and he let me know and said stay as long as you want the general manager brought me in and apologized Whatever you need.” And whatever you go after I’ll make phone calls when you get to the interview stage There was a job opening in Sacramento. And I took it in ’89 and, because it had a talk show, I would be sports director and it had Kings broadcasts. I started as pregame, halftime and postgame with the Kings. But every year Gary Gerould had a contract to go do auto racing because he was doing a lot of auto racing back then and he was really good at it So my first year I think I did seven games while he was out And then the next year got bumped up a little bit And then bumped up a little bit in the third year And so I got the radio games when Gary wasn’t doing them In 1994-95 they could hear me because we were on KHTK And so they encouraged me to apply for a job when they moved Greg Papa from radio to TV non-playoff team when you started calling the games Then they had four 60-loss seasons in five years and you’re doing all of these losses alone from 1989 when I first got to the Kings through 2006 “Who do you think is going to win the title?” I don’t know about that But I can tell you who’s going to win 30 games I can tell you eight teams that are going to win 30 or less it didn’t take a toll on me because the fact that it’s still the NBA and being in the Bay Area If Hakeem Olajuwon came in or Alonzo Mourning it’s great to be an announcer because they expect you to be kind of down the middle but I’m not gonna get an email saying why am I talking about Alonzo Mourning and every day somebody else is coming into town there were still great players coming in and there’s still some great moments That was the one that tested your professionalism and your patience And then the “We Believe” team kind of came out of nowhere one of the more unique squads in Warriors history The wave that they had and how they just rode that wave and the confidence and swagger that team had Swagger is a word that some people don’t like to use We don’t care who you are or who you have on the roster.” flying with those guys was as close as I’m ever going to get to being on a real-life pirate ship Just the cast of characters and guys who can really play guys that just put their will on a game and carry a team for a number of minutes how long did it take you to realize something special was brewing but David Lee got hurt in training camp and then so we had to start Draymond (Green) we’re playing the Lakers in a preseason game and our starting five got out there The first six minutes of that first quarter they’re getting stops and they had like 10 buckets and nine assists this is really interesting.” That’s about as well as I’ve seen a Warriors team play ever but there was just something about that group they had a way about them that they were so hard to guard you could tell in the first month it’s like not only is this team pretty good — and they had won 50 games the year before with Mark Jackson and gave San Antonio a heck of a series the year before that so we knew they were pretty good — but I think that year it just seemed like they had gone from good to something really special You were doing games by yourself for years How much of an adjustment was it for you to have a partner after all that time calling games by yourself to have a color commentator on radio than not Because there’s a definite tempo and timing issue to it It’s not like on TV where the analyst can really flesh out his thought and explain it got the ball on the right side and he’s getting a screen I have to leave room for the analyst and he has to be quick with his thought and get it back to me Especially with the way the Warriors play. Tommy and Jim Barnett they’re the true pros that have become — and I think Duane Kuiper is this way too — former players who are now professional broadcasters They have learned their craft and they know what they’re doing And it took Tommy and I a few months to really get on the same page I think that’s when we really started to have a lot of fun with it and it’s the same with JB When he can come on board for the playoffs the last couple years it takes a couple games to really get into the rhythm But he’s such a pro that he picks it up really quickly and we move on Do you approach a game differently calling it with Tom versus calling it with Jim I have to have all of my ’80s music references ready and with Jim I have to go back to the ’60s they both come at it a little bit differently so you have to approach a little bit differently What I try to do is play to their strengths They’re both really good analysts and they both can be funny Jim has a longer history of being with the Warriors he obviously was here when Run TMC was going so each one has different areas that you can play off This season it seems like people are kind of preparing for a possible return to the lottery for the Warriors with the possibility of Klay Thompson being out all year and a team full of young players The uncertainty is something we’re not really used to anymore after decades of expecting the Warriors to be a lottery team followed by years of expecting them to reach the Finals but I think that’s going to add a little bit to the excitement of the season and the year before and maybe the year before that but you knew that if the Warriors lose this game Because you knew that they were going to be there in the end and they were going to be a team to be reckoned with in the playoffs and had good odds to maybe win the title if they’re going to get into a playoff race They can’t leave games on the table that maybe they did in years gone by And so I think there’s going to be a lot more urgency with the regular season this year than maybe what we’ve seen in the past three years I think there’s going to be a lot of big games in the regular season that they’re gonna have to get I think that’s going to add a little bit to the excitement it looks like the two rookies that did play It’s going to be interesting to see how they grow And I’m curious to see how Willie Cauley-Stein fits in with this team so I think there’s a lot of things to keep our eyes out for to see what kind of a season they’re going to have It’s been a while since they’ve been an underdog Jamaican-born photographer Ruddy Roye has only caught one fish in his life, but he understands the patience needed to catch one. A few years ago, Roye moved to Northeast Ohio from Brooklyn, and he recently discovered the allure of Cleveland fishing along the Lake Erie shore at the East 55th Street Marina. He's fishing not for walleye, but for images with his camera. “Actually, whenever I talk to [the fishermen], I say to them that, ‘Me getting an image equates to you getting one fish,’” Roye said. “I'm waiting for that one fish to come into my frame.” From talking with people who are fishing, Roye said he realized that many see the popular fishing spot as a sanctuary from the city’s gun violence. “The more I delved into each particular fisherman's story, the more I got it's a place of peace away from Kinsman and East Cleveland,” Roye said. For more than 20 years, Roye was based out of New York City as a freelance photojournalist working for publications like Time, The New York Times, The New Yorker, ESPN, Ebony and Essence magazines. He moved his family to Cleveland Heights after a successful residency with the Cleveland Print Room and the Cleveland Public Library in 2019. “I remember coming to Cleveland every other weekend, driving around. Then I realized that there were things here that I could photograph,” he said. “Of all the states that I have worked in, lived in, Cleveland afforded me a space that made me feel like I was a photographer again.” Now Roye’s focus is the men and women who fish for walleye and perch at the marina. “It takes time to make somebody feel comfortable with you being in their relaxation space. In their space of, ‘I want to get into my Zen right now. I don't really need a camera shoved into my face,’” he said. Roye said he’s a people person which helps him talk to those he photographs before he picks up his camera. “I always try to connect on a human level,” he said. “I'm trying to tell a story that also exists in me. It's very rare that I go outside of me to tell a story. I usually connect with something that I've already gone through, I've seen, and I try to make that connection.” “I've always felt like photography was the thing that I used to grow to be a better person, to be a better man, to be a better seer, to be a better philosopher, to be a better father,” he said. “Photography is something I hold dearly, and I do appreciate the way it has allowed me to be a better person.” Roye plans to continue with this series and expand upon it for a future exhibition.
