TAMPA – 

A motorcycle driver died in a crash on Saturday night after officials said he lost control of his vehicle while changing lanes.

Based upon the preliminary information a motorcycle was traveling westbound on Interstate 4 in the inside lane approaching Interstate 275 when the driver attempted to make a lane change.

Reports said the motorcycle driver lost control and drove off the roadway onto the north shoulder.

The vehicle continued on the shoulder and collided with the concrete barrier wall of the I-4 overpass with the right side of the motorcycle, officers said.

The driver was ejected over the concrete barrier wall and fell over 30 feet below onto the I-275 southbound shoulder, the report said.

The motorcycle remained upright, crossed all westbound lanes of I-4, and collided with the inside guardrail.

The driver died at the scene of the crash.

This incident remains under investigation.

RVC Detectives Arrest Duo for 2011 Gunpoint Robbery

An investigation from detectives at the Rockville Centre Police Department has resulted in the arrests of two suspects for a 2011 gunpoint robbery on N. Centre Avenue.

Police said that at approximately 4:30 a.m. on Sept. 23, two suspects, later identified as Taaj Cox and Justin Mayers, robbed four victims at gunpoint in front of 100 N. Centre Ave.

A semi-automatic handgun was held to one of the victim’s faces and property was demanded, police said. The property stolen included numerous credit/debit cards, cash, personal identifications, cell phones, and keys.

After a lengthy investigation, Cox was arrested on June 6 in front of 30 Old Mill Court in Rockville Centre. Detectives eventually located and arrested Justin Mayers in Moscow, Pa., on Oct. 25.

Both defendants were charged with robbery in the first degree and, if convicted, could face up to 20 years in prison.

Arrest Made in Garden City SUV, Motorcycle Crash

A Garden City man was charged with Leaving the Scene of an Auto Accident that occurred Sunday morning in the village.

According to detectives, James Gallagher, 69, of Garden City, was operating his 2001 Nissan Pathfinder, attempting to make a left turn onto eastbound Old Country Road from northbound Linden Street, around 9:20 a.m. on Nov. 24 when he allegedly struck a motorcycle that was traveling eastbound in the right lane of Old Country Road. Gallagher failed to stop after hitting the biker, cops say.

The operator of the motorcycle, a 29-year-old man, suffered internal injuries as well as a partial amputation of his right foot.  He was transported to an area hospital and is listed in critical but stable condition. 

A Garden City Patrol Officer located Gallagher driving on a side street in close proximity to the accident and he was arrested. Gallagher is charged with Leaving the Scene of a Serious Physical Injury Collision and was arraigned Sunday at First District Court in Hempstead.

Fingerprint Used to Catch Suspect in Garden City Buglary

A Hickville man was arrested Saturday for allegedly burglarizing a Garden City home in early September.

Nassau County Police’s Third Squad arrested Christian Pagan, 19, at 11:10 p.m on Nov. 24. According to detectives, Garden City Police responded to a Roosevelt Avenue home on Sept. 3 at 3:45 p.m. for an alarm. The officers discovered window screens on the first and second floor had been cut and an unknown person had entered the second floor of the home. No proceeds were reported stolen.  The Nassau County Police Crime Scene Unit was able to obtain a latent finger print that matched Pagan.

Pagan is charged with second-degree burglary and was arraigned Sunday at First District Court in Hempstead.

Man Arrested for Forgery, False Personation in Valley Stream

Police arrested a Far Rockaway man in Valley Stream early Wednesday after he was found to be in possession of forged credit cards.

According to detectives, Fourth Precinct Police Officers observed Oluwayemi Famojuro, 21, of Far Rockaway, operating a 2006 Infinity G35 eastbound on the sidewalk of Sunrise Highway. When the officers conducted a vehicle and traffic law investigation, Famojuro presented a New York State drivers license with a name that did not match his description. When questioned about his identity he continued to falsely represent himself.

After Famojuro was placed under arrest he was found to be in possession of four credit cards that appeared to be altered. With the assistance of a detective from Crimes Against Property Squad it was determined that the cards had been forged.

Famojuro is charged with four counts of second-degree Possession of Forged Instrument and False Personation. He was arraigned Wednesday at First District Court in Hempstead.

Police Commissioner: RVCPD Gang Plan Getting Results

An ongoing investigation by the Rockville Centre Police Department focusing on eradicating gang presence in the village is showing positive results, according to police officials.

Police say that since its inception in 2010, the investigation has seen 48 arrests resulting from gang-related offense, including include drug trafficking and violent crimes. Drugs, money and numerous firearms have been seized during the investigation.

In early 2010, Police Commissioner Charles Gennario introduced a plan to address Rockville Centre’s gang issues. Focusing on gang-specific criminal behavior and incorporating the assistance of the FBI, Gennario spearheaded an investigation that has seen 40 of the 48 defendants either get convicted or plea to the crimes charged.

Combined, these defendants could serve more than 600 years in prison — an average of more than 15 years per defendant. In addition, several of the arrested persons are facing life imprisonment. More pleas or convictions are expected for the remaining defendants, police said.

“The safety of our residents is paramount and these convictions will have a long-lasting positive impact on the welfare of the citizens of Rockville Centre,” Gennario said. “The Rockville Centre Police Department wants to thank all of our partners in this case, and I particularly want to express my appreciation for the efforts of the FBI, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and our colleagues at the Nassau County Police Department.”

Police officials told Patch that violent crime is down as a result of their efforts and that the investigation is currently ongoing.

crash,

lindis pass,

motorcycle accident

Two men, believed to be gang members, died when their motorcycles were involved in a crash with a car on the Lindis Pass yesterday.

The dead men had not been named last night, but one was believed to be from Timaru and the other is believed to be from Tauranga. 

A 26-year-old Timaru woman, who was a pillion passenger, was airlifted to Dunedin Hospital by the Otago Regional Rescue helicopter and was in a critical condition last night.

The second woman, the sole occupant of the Nissan car, was in a satisfactory condition in hospital.

Central Otago police sub area commander Senior Sergeant Ian Kerrisk said the two men were confirmed dead at the scene.

Emergency services were called to the accident at 2.16pm on State Highway 8, 19km north of Tarras in Central Otago.

No further details about the the crash were available last night, Mr Kerrisk said.

“It’s very early days … and I don’t want to speculate on any cause. We’re still contacting next-of-kin, so we won’t be releasing any names yet.”

The two men, who were on Harley-Davidson motorcycles, were in a group travelling north, while the car driver was south-bound.

Mr Kerrisk said some of the group of motorcyclists had witnessed the accident and they were being interviewed by police at Tarras yesterday.

Victim Support volunteers were on hand to assist those involved.

Fire, police and ambulance personnel from Central Otago and the Waitaki district attended the crash and the road was closed for several hours.

Thousands of bikers took part in the annual Toy Run. File photo: Henk Kruger

A day of charitable fun ended in tragedy last night, with the death of a motorcyclist heading home from the Toy Run.

Clinton “Chingy” Hess, a business owner from Mitchells Plain, was declared dead by paramedics after his motorcycle and a blue Toyota sedan collided on Lansdowne Road, near Philippi police station.

Hess died at the scene.

“Our officers responded to the scene. I cannot at this point speculate as to the cause and circumstances of the crash, but a case of culpable homicide has been opened,” said Lieutenant Lance Goliath, spokesman for Philippi police.

Hess had attended a gathering of about 15 000 bikers at Maynardville Park in Wynberg as part of this year’s Toy Run, the largest motorcycling-related charity event in southern Africa.

“For us this is truly tragic; our condolences go out to the family. It’s very sad that such a great event was followed by such an unfortunate incident,” said Glynis Coetzee, spokeswoman for the Toy Run.

Hess had enjoyed being part of the tight-knit community of bikers in Cape Town and he had regularly supported the annual charity drive, said his father-in-law, Lindsay Thomas.

Thomas described Hess as a “loving father and family man” and a “larger-than-life” character.

“He rebounded from a life of adversity as a child to become a successful businessman, a good father and a provider for his family. Whatever he did, he succeeded in it.

“The family is still numb and in disbelief about what happened. He will leave a great void in all of our hearts, especially in those of his wife and two children,” Thomas said.

Hess’s family had joined him at Maynardville, but had returned home to Mitchells Plain an hour or two before he did.

Hess had uploaded a photo of his motorcycle on his Facebook page on Friday, accompanied by a caption expressing his excitement about the weekend’s biking.

About 30 000 toys were donated or collected by bikers yesterday. These will be handed out as Christmas presents to less fortunate children across the country. The Toy Run is held in at least 19 centres around the country and was started in 1982 by the Italian Motorcycle Owners Club. -Cape Argus

THE CANADIAN PRESS

LAKE LOUISE, Alta. — Aksel Lund Svindal is in a ski racer’s mental sweet spot.

Canada’s Jan Hudec says there’s 20 men on the World Cup circuit capable of winning; there’s five who think they can win and one or two who know they can win.

Svindal is in the last category after sweeping both the downhill and super-G races at the Lake Louise Winterstart World Cup.

The big Norwegian is the first man to win the double crowns at Lake Louise since American Bode Miller in 2004.

“That’s the great thing about skiing. When you have it, you go fast,” Svindal said Sunday after his super-G victory.

It was his second in a row at Lake Louise after winning the discipline in 2011.

“Most racers, including myself, you don’t have the chance to win World Cups every day and when you feel you have a chance, you have to get after it,” Svindal continued. “Yesterday and today, I felt ‘this is a race I can win’ and you’ve got to try and take advantage of those opportunities.”

Svindal beat runner-up Adrien Theaux of France by .85 seconds Sunday. Joachim Puchner of Austria finished third.

Erik Guay of Mont-Tremblant, Que., was the top Canadian in 11th and Calgary’s John Kucera was 14th.

Svindal won the season-opening downhill Saturday by over half a second.

“He’s got the magic touch right now,” Guay observed. “He obviously schooled everybody today.

“Eighty-five hundredths is a huge margin in the super-G, but it’s also good for us at the same time because we can watch that on video and see what he’s doing and try to learn from it. He seems to be on fire right now.”

The Canadians left their home races at the mountain resort west of Calgary with three top-15 results, but no medals. Guay’s sixth in downhill was the host team’s best result.

Canada’s top racers weren’t at their optimum racing form. Guay, the reigning world downhill champion, and Hudec were both behind in their preparation because of arthroscopic knee surgeries in late September.

Kucera raced for the first time since badly breaking his leg at Lake Louise three years ago. Vancouver’s Manuel Osborne-Paradis also returned to racing after breaking his leg in Chamonix, France, in 2011.

All four Canadians have finished on the podium at Lake Louise during their careers. Osborne-Paradis (2009), Hudec (2007) and Kucera (2006) were winners there.

“We should be aiming a little bit higher right now,” Guay said. “We’re kind of being satisfied with qualifying and finishing in the top 20. I think we should be charging for the podium.”

The men head to Beaver Creek, Colo., for downhill, super-G and giant slalom races on the Birds of Prey course. The women arrive at Lake Louise this week for downhill races Friday and Saturday and Sunday’s super-G.

American ski star Lindsey Vonn swept all three races in 2011 and has won 11 times at Lake Louise. She petitioned the world governing body of skiing to race the men at Lake Louise this year but was denied.

Vonn was recently hospitalized with a stomach ailment, which set her back. She finished 21st in a giant slalom in Aspen, Colo., on Saturday and skipped Sunday’s slalom to prepare for Lake Louise.

Finishing among the top 15 men in his second race after a three-year hiatus was significant for Kucera.

He badly fractured his leg racing super-G at Lake Louise in 2009. He re-injured the leg attempting a comeback and herniated discs in his back also delayed his return.

“It’s the confidence to know I can come out here after three years after barely skiing and still compete with these guys,” Kucera said. “That’s huge and that’s a good building block, a good stepping stone towards the rest of the year.”

The objective for the Canadian team this season is five World Cup medals and a podium at the 2013 world championship Feb. 4-17 in Schladming, Austria.

“John Kucera’s result today is really, really exciting for us,” Alpine Canada president Max Gartner said. “I’m excited for him to walk away feeling he’s in the game again.

“It’s optimistic going into the next races and with the big highlight being the world championships in February, hopefully the guys are going to get some momentum as the season progresses. You always want to win at home, but I think the way we came in here, we knew a couple solid results would help us set the stage for this year.”

The top 30 in a World Cup race earn points which contribute to their ranking, start positions and the overall season titles. Hudec salvaged a top-20 result Sunday despite a hectic race. The Calgarian went down on his hip at high speed, but recovered for 18th place.

Dustin Cook of Lac-Sainte-Marie, Que., was 28th, Jeffrey Frisch of Mont-Tremblant, Que., finished 31st and Ben Thomsen of Invermere, B.C., tied for 34th.

Osborne-Paradis was 22nd in downhill and didn’t race Sunday. Based on training results, Canada’s coaches chose Cook to race super-G instead of Osborne-Paradis.

Svindal’s victory was the 18th of his career. Five years ago, he crashed spectacularly in a downhill training run on the Birds of Prey course. Broken bones in his face and a severe laceration in his abdomen sidelined him for the entire 2007-08 season.

Svindal returned to capture the overall World Cup title in 2009. He won Olympic gold in super-G, silver in downhill and bronze in giant slalom at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Whistler, B.C.

The six-foot-four, 209-pound skier has opened the 2011-12 with that elusive combination of strength, health, equipment and the knowledge he can take risks on the course and win.

“The most interesting part is how you get there,” Svindal said. “My way of getting there is I don’t use sports psychiatry for instance and someone telling me I should get there.

“I know if I prepared and worked harder than anyone, I ski fast in training and I’ve chosen my equipment good then I’ve done all the preparations I can do and it’s all up to me.

“I have to be attacking it when I go down. I can’t let anyone else win it because I want to try and win it and I think that’s the interesting part – how you get to that state. It seems impossible if you’re not there, believe me. I’ve been out of it and trying to get there.”

The 29-year-old says the crash of 2007 changed him as a racer. He was coming off a super-G win in Lake Louise and felt like “superman” up arrival in Beaver Creek.

“I was a second ahead of everyone on the training run, which is unnecessary because it was the first training run,” Svindal recalled. “I went down hard and when I hit the fence, I wasn’t so much superman any more.

“The kind of risks I took yesterday and today there’s no need to take in training and that’s the lesson learned from that experience.

“The odds add up. If you take risks every day all through the year … for instance, I don’t drive a motorcycle. I used to but I sold it. I don’t want to play the odds too much.”

KUALA LUMPUR: Four youths, who lost their legs in accidents, are appealing for donations to acquire prosthetic limbs.

Sapiah Jaafar, 64, a housewife broke down in tears when she recalled the accident that changed the meaning of Hari Raya Aidilfitri in her household six years ago.

She said her son, Muhammad Anas Sabudin, met with an accident on Oct 23, 2006, when the motorcycle he was riding collided with a car while on his way home to break fast with the family.

“Anas’s father and brother died in the accident. Only Anas survived.”

Sapiah said Anas, 24, was now working as a quantity surveyor in Penang.

He was depressed and reluctant to appear in public.

Anas, however, received support from his friends.

On Jan 5, Velu Kuppusamy, 18, was on his way to work in a cybercafe when a car overtook and collided into him. He fell from his motorcycle and was left unconscious by the roadside.

His father, Kuppusamy Velu, 40, said a week after operation, doctors had recommended that his leg be amputated as it had turned gangrenous (a bacterial infection where a considerable mass of body tissue dies).

“Doctors said Velu could die if his leg was not amputated,” Kuppusamy said.

Ahmad Safuan Mohamad, 19, had his left leg amputated after he met with an accident on Jan 22, 2008. He crashed into a road divider because of brake failure.

“After the accident, I lost the will to live. But as time went by, I regained my confidence.

“I hope to complete my studies and be a successful businessman one day.”

Twenty-year-old Abdul Rahman Safri, 20, met with an accident on Jan 18, 2008, and he lost a leg.

“It took me quite awhile to accept the fact that I am a cripple.”

The Politeknik Sultan Hj Ahmad Shah diploma in electronic graduate added that: “I always felt I still had both my legs. I was in despair during the early days.”

Anas, Velu and Rahman need RM7,800, while Safuan needs RM6,800 to acquire prosthetic limbs.

Those who wish to help them can send cheques, made payable to The New Straits Times Press (M) Bhd, with their names written on the back to: The Cashier, Finance Department/Charity Unit, The New Straits Times Press (M) Bhd, Balai Berita, 31, Jalan Riong, 59100 Kuala Lumpur.

A change of venue has been forced due to the popularity of the New Zealand Opera School lunchtime recital.

The 10-day school opens on January 3, at Wanganui Collegiate School with 24 students from throughout New Zealand.

The celebrated lunchtime concerts have been held at the Serjeant Gallery but will now be held at Heritage House in St Hill St.

Featuring the Malvina Major Emerging Artists, the show is due to take place on Friday, January 4.

The venue change comes after last year when Serjeant Gallery staff became concerned with a crowd of more than 180 people moving about the gallery carrying food and hot drinks.

Wanganui Opera Week spokeswoman Renate Schneider said it was decided that it was much safer all round to change the venue.

“Especially as the number of people attending the luncheon is growing.”

This year the three emerging artists are Bianca Andrew, a mezzo soprano from Wellington, baritone Kieran Rainer from Wellington, and Edward Laurenson, a baritone from Auckland.

The popular cafe evenings will be held on Wednesday, January 9, at the Quality Inn, Collegiate, the Red Lion Inn, and The Grand Hotel.

Last year the venues were packed to capacity.

Mrs Schneider said it was incredible the number of bookings that had come in already for the glorious final night concert at the Opera House and for the public master classes with world renowned British voice coach Paul Farrington.

“We are delighted. It shows that people are already looking forward to the 10 days of the opera school in Wanganui.”

On January 2, Professor Farrington will speak at a movie screening in the Wanganui Embassy Theatre. Farrington worked on the movie Quartet, which stars Dame Maggie Smith, Pauline Collins, Tom Courtenay and Billy Connolly.

It tells the story of lifelong friends Wilf (Billy Connolly) and Reggie (Tom Courtenay), who together with former colleague Cissy (Pauline Collins), are residents of Beecham House for retired opera singers. Every year, on Giuseppe Verdi’s birthday, the residents band together to give a concert to raise funds for their home. Professor Farrington described it as a marvellous film about old age and growing old.

The evening is a fundraiser for Wanganui Opera Week.

The chapel service on January 6 will be a memorial service for former opera school chairman Captain Bryan Wyness who was killed in a motorcycle crash this year.

The grand concert is scheduled for January 12. It will be directed by Sara Brodie and again sponsored by the Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation.

This year two students from the 2012 New Zealand Opera School came first and second in the Lexus Song Quest.

Tenor Amitai Pati won and said the school had given him a fantastic training in performance and communication.

“It really paid off for me and I will always be grateful.”

Again the opera school tutors were looking forward to the 12 intensive days guiding New Zealand’s finest, young classical voices.

Former director Donald Trott, who has taken over as chairman, said the school was a training ground for young aspiring opera singers.

“It costs a lot of money to run the school and I want all of them to get the absolute most out of the fortnight … that is what the school is for.”

IT looks certain that teenage sensation Hafizh Syahrin Abdullah’s break into the FIM World Motorcycle Championship is set to be on hold for at least another year.

This is unless Spanish outfit Team Aspar make a serious offer in the coming weeks after indicating serious interest in signing the 18-year old last month.

As yet, there has not been an official offer from the team run by Jorge Martinez, and according to Petronas Raceline Malaysia team principal Barry Leong, preparations are underway for Hafizh’s coming season.

“As of now, we have not heard anything. As we stated before, we are waiting for their offer to come in black and white so that we can evaluate it together with Petronas and Hafizh’s parents,” said Leong.

Hafizh crashed out of the final round in the Spanish CEV Buckler Moto2 Championship in Valencia last Sunday, but maintained his sixth position in the championship and won the privateers’ title.

Following his sensational fourth place finish from 27th on the grid, riding as a wildcard in the Moto2 race at the Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix at Sepang on Oct 21, Hafizh had attracted the attention of several big teams.

Team Aspar principal Martinez was reported to have held a private meeting with Leong following the race in which he stated his interest in signing Hafizh.

But with a month gone by, Leong said Raceline are already preparing to line-up Hafizh for another season in the Spanish CEV Buckler Championship.

“We will stick to our plan, which is to run Hafizh for another season in the Spanish championship and next year I am pretty sure he will be challenging for the title,” said Leong.

“The plan is to break him into the world championship in 2014. We must remember that he’s still only 18, so we have time.” By Arnaz M. Khairul
