For 22 years Vince Carter and his Embassy of Hope Foundation have been hosting community members at the annual Vince Carter Charity Gala. On August 10, 2019 at the Ocean Center Daytona Beach, friends, family, and community leaders came together to recognize the outstanding work of Joyce Cusack and Bobby Thigpen. They were the recipients of the 2019 Embassy of Hope Foundation Hall of Fame Award. “Joyce Cusack has sacrificed a major portion of her life to serving others as an elected official, and Bobby Thigpen works tirelessly to help organizations and individuals who need help,” said Carter, former NBA All-Star and member of the Atlanta Hawks. In addition, the Embassy of Hope Foundation recognized Joseph “Joey” Smith, a student at Hinson Middle School, with its Young Philanthropist Award for his outstanding dedication and support for the foundation’s work of helping those less fortunate. Carter’s comment, “Joey could run our food basket giveaway at Christmas, because he has been volunteering since he was in elementary school.”
“This gala is one of my favorite fundraising events,” said Carter. “It is an opportunity for people to come together, enjoy themselves and help us raise money for local programs within our community.” The gala, a black-tie optional affair, included entertainment by MPiRE, plenty of food, recognition of the foundation’s scholarship winners, and lots of fun. There was a silent auction of numerous gift baskets donated by friends and members of the Embassy of Hope Board of Directors, as well as exquisite jewelry available for purchase from J’aime Bijoux LLC, wholesale private jeweler Jaime Yeomans.
In addition to the dancing, auctions, and camaraderie, attendees enjoyed “off the cuff” vintage Vince Carter comments about his career, which is drawing to a close, his continuing desire to help others, his passion for helping young people see their potential, and his dreams for a better life for those less fortunate. “It doesn’t get any better than this,” said one of the gala attendees.
Proceeds benefit children and family programs and the Embassy of Hope “Believing in Your Dreams” Scholarship Fund. Since its inception in 1998, Carter’s Embassy of Hope Foundation has donated over 1.9 million dollars in the United States and Canada.

If you were a teenage girl in the 80's, there are some things you'll never forget. Like big hair, New Kids on the Block, and John Cusack holding the boombox over his head in 'Say Anything.' But unlike a lot of teen heart-throbs, John didn't fade away. He became one of the most respected - and eclectic - actors of his generation. He's played everything from an American air marshal in 'Con Air' to an eccentric puppeteer inside John Malkovich's head in 'Being John Malkovich' and a hit man going to his high school reunion in 'Grosse Pointe Blank.' That movie was the first from John's own New Crime Productions. He also produced and co-wrote the screenplay for the cult classic, 'High Fidelity.' Ditto for his latest flick, 'War Inc.' It's about an American corporation run by the former U-S vice president, that occupies an imaginary country called Turaqistan.

The wonderful thing about Dublin is that everything has a history or a background story but the problem is that everyone will tell you a different story.
When I first photographed this bridge a self appointed local historian told me that the lifting bridge was built by Earl Spencer the paternal grandfather of Diana Spencer. The problem with such stories is that the facts may be “alternative” but they are often true so they cannot be easily dismissed. I did, however, have some problems with the story for the following reasons.
[1] Spencer Dock was originally known as the Royal Canal Docks
[2] Diana’s Grand Father or his father had no connection with Ireland.
[3] The bridge appears to have an electric motor dating from the 1940s or 1950s
Anyway I decided to check a history of the docklands published by Turtle Bunbury [by the way the book features one of my photographs] and I came across the following: “The new dock was a work of ‘entirely private enterprise’ and cost £58,000. On the beautiful afternoon of 15th April 1873, (Sir) Ralph Cusack, Chairman of the MGWR, opened the new dock and formally named it Spencer after the Lord Lieutenant, Earl Spencer, great-great grandfather of Diana, Princess of Wales.”
So there was some basis to the local historian’s claim however the bridge associated with the development was at the time described as “an ingenious hydraulic bridge” and it was the work of the railway’s engineer Mr Price. The bridge in my photographs does not really match the description above.
The available information available is confusing but the bridge in my photographs appears to be referred to as the Sheriff Street Lifting Bridge but also as the Sheriff Street Spencer Drawbridge but it was built in 1941 as a replacement for an older swivel bridge dating from 1873.
Just before I published my original photographs I came across this “However, on 17 October 1941 the IT reported on the opening of the new Sheriff Street drawbridge, which had cost £18,000; it was a structure unique of its kind in these islands.” canalsofdublin.com/royal-canal-interactive-walk/sheriff-s...

Foundation
When Michael Cusack moved to Dublin, in 1877, to open his academy preparing Irish students for the Civil Service examinations, sport throughout Ireland was the preserve of the middle and ascended classes.
Within Cusack’s academy sport was central with students who were encouraged to participate in rugby, cricket, rowing and weight-throwing.
In the early 1880’s Cusack turned his attentions to indigenous Irish sports. In 1882 he attended the first meeting of the Dublin Hurling Club, formed ‘for the purpose of taking steps to re-establish the national game of hurling’.

Editor’s Notes:
About Cork Cancer Research Centre (CCRC)
The Cork Cancer Research Centre is an independent research centre focused on developing new treatments for secondary cancer. Key to centre’s success is the clear collaboration between surgeons and physicians in practice with speciality cancer researchers to apply their findings in practice. Its purpose is to provide discovery and innovations that may be applied to the prevention of the cancer in the first place or to the development of more effective treatment strategies. Our main focus is to find new treatments for patients who do not respond to conventional chemotherapy. In terms of our research activities, the Centre has brought five cancer treatments from the laboratory to clinical trial. More information about their work is available on www.ccrc.ie. Although we are living in challenging economic times, research must progress if we are to continue advancing new cancer treatments and positively impacting patient lives.
