Food, glorious food - Sunday travel section digest
"You don't expect to read the words 'Manhattan' and 'kayak' in the same sentence." Matt Rudd (The Sunday Times) is right. You don't. Of all the ways to see Manhattan - by skyscraper, helicopter or boat - kayak would not be the first conveyance to spring to mind. This is where the Manhattan Kayak Company comes in. Rudd, a complete beginner, has 35 minutes of training - on dry land, the carpet of the Kayak Company to be precise - and then hits the Hudson River, paddling where, in the words of the hard-boiled receptionist: "In one direction, you got the mile-wide Hudson. In the other, you got 3,000 miles of Atlantic tidal power." Hooray for Hollywood for there are two features on it today. Tim Jepson (The Sunday Telegraph) discovers that West Hollywood, where the stars come out to party, is packed full of bustling cafes, clubs and shops, while Daisy Waugh (The Mail on Sunday) goes in search of early Hollywood, when "Hollywood Boulevard was still surrounded by orange groves and film stars weren't yet required to speak".
Sands pleased with results
Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations' (BAAA) President Mike Sands, said that while he was pleased with the performances at this year's Junior National Track and Field Championships, he was disappointed by the lack of support from the public."Generally, I'm satisfied by the efforts put forth by these young athletes," he noted, "but there were a few athletes who came out here and performed well beyond expectations. So over the next 24 hours, I will be getting together with the executive members of the BAAA to go over the results of this meet, and by Monday, we would've already decided who's going to be on the Jr. CAC and Jr. World teams," he explained.
Addressing the issue of the lack of fan support, Sands said that the BAAA has to take some of the blame.
Survival Summit hailed a success
Sir, it is truly a pleasure to be able to return to the pages of your daily as a contributing writer after being away for a while.Today's topic is 'Survival summit, just what our souls needed.'
My brothers and sisters in Christ, it was truly a wonderful week after experiencing the most awesome move of God that I have seen in my life here on this earth.
For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, I am talking about the Survival Summit held at St. John's Cathedral last week and hosted by Bishop Godfrey Williams.
My, my, my, what a revival that was. I must pause to encourage Bishop Williams, his lovely wife Lady Iris Williams, young brother Williams (son), the ushers and all the persons who made that summit the success that it was.

"When it comes to maintaining a healthy living, what happens on the inside also affects what happens to us on the outside.
