Jack Draper hopes his “atrocious” new Aussie-style mohican mullet will get him home support Down Under. And the British press pack have sworn to get the same severe cut if the world No.55 wins his first Major title at the Australian Open.

The big left-hander, 22, is trending in the right direction after following his best ever Grand Slam showing in New York – where he reached the fourth round – by reaching his first two ATP Tour finals.

But the big talking point before his second Australian Open appearance is his drastic new hairstyle for the new season.

“Some people might say it’s atrocious but I’d say it’s bold, isn’t it?” he laughed. “I saw a barber last week in Adelaide. And they did it and my coach (James Trotman) was like: ‘It looks like they faded it much better, it looks good’. I said to him, ‘It’s not bold enough’. So I went to a Turkish barbers here (Melbourne) and you know they’ll do the job all right.”

2 arrested in shooting death of 23-year-old soon-to-be father in Cleveland on New Year’s Day

A 17 and 28-year-old were in police custody Wednesday. Police have not confirmed, but a family friend says the victim was meeting to sell a bike when it happened.

CLEVELAND — Two people were arrested Wednesday, after a 23-year-old soon-to-be father was shot and killed at a Cleveland park on New Year’s Day.

The two people in custody include a 17-year-old boy and 28-year-old Austin Mueller, according to the Cleveland Division of Police.

The shooting happened just off Triskett Road in the parking lot of Mohican Park on Cleveland’s west side. Police said at around 5:30 p.m., the victim was shot multiple times. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Police have not released the victim’s name, but his girlfriend and a family friend identified him as 23-year-old Enrique Dudenas. They said he has a baby on the way.

Balloons and candles honored his memory near the spot where the shooting happened.

“He was so loving & caring, did whatever he could for his friends and family,” the victim’s girlfriend wrote in a message to 3News’ Matt Rascon. “Definitely was a family man and worked so hard for everything he wanted in life.”

“They should be investigating this. This is a murder. This ain’t no, ‘Somebody’s purse got stolen’; somebody got killed,” said one family friend who did not want to be identified. 

“I knew him as a kid. He was a great kid. I’m sure he was on his way to be a great father,” he said.

Police have not released any more details about the circumstances, but the family friend told 3News Enrique was meeting some potential buyers to sell his dirt bike at Mohican Park Monday when the shooting happened.

“I’m sure [the family] is throwing themselves on the couch together, crying….

Lucian Christmas with Corinthian Mohicans

Earl BousquetChronicles Of A Chronic Caribbean Chronicler By Earl Bousquet

I awoke on Christmas Morning quite happy, with several invitational options for where to go to eat, drink and party, or just stay home.

But, if your imagination is sufficiently elastic, you’ll understand I actually did a-little-bit-of-all: ate more, drank less – and didn’t drive at-all…

Best-of-all that day, however, was spending a couple of afternoon hours over a traditional creole lunch with old friends from the last century, fellow centennial hopefuls I often describe as ‘Saint Lucia’s Last Mohicans’.

I never read ‘Last of the Mohicans’, the classic novel by James Fenimore Cooper set in 1747 during the French-Indian war, but I do know the moral behind that story is the importance of respecting different cultures.

Sponsored | Article continues below

I’ve always respected other cultures, but one of my big fears is unfolding before our very eyes: important aspects of our history and culture are simply disappearing quickly, or being made invisible.

I’ve always held that after the diminishing generation of us between 60 and 80, it’ll be left only to the millennials and the advanced artificial intelligentsia of the 2030s and 2040s to fight for Humankind’s survival by the 1950s, against more-intelligent talking machines – the 21st Century stone-age equivalents of which are already hosting press conferences today.

I sat with a few fellow ‘Lucian Mohicans’ on Christmas Day afternoon in Daphne’s Corinthian Balcony, sipping Sangria between other island-mixers, us driving recklessly down Memory Lane in ways that convinced the two younger souls among us that there actually was Life before Internet and Wi-Fi.

The likes of Leo ‘Spa’ St. Helene, Derek Walcott, Dunstan St. Omer, George Odlum, Neville Skeete, et al, would no-doubt have felt quite at-home that…

Grey skies, drizzle and fog linger over the Berkshires. When will we see any sunshine?

Two teenagers on rollerskis on a paved trail

With no snow and temperatures in the 50s for most of the day, Mount Greylock Regional High School cross-country skiers Ollie Swabey and Jude Bakija, both 17, wore shorts as they did the Mohican Trail in Williamstown with roller skis on Monday, near the trail entrance at Syndicate Road.

GILLIAN JONES-HECK — THE BERKSHIRE EAGLE

Dreary, dismal and damp, with near-record above-normal temperatures and areas of dense fog more typical of early spring.

That’s been the persistent pattern for a most unusual December in Berkshire County and beyond. With frost confined to only a handful of early mornings, temperatures have been above normal on 23 of the month’s 29 days — often by double digits.

The result: Heating needs, based on temperatures averaging more than 6 degrees above normal, have been nearly 30 percent below normal.

Snowfall totaling less than 2 inches means this month joins 1999, 2006 and 2015 for the least amount of snow on the ground in December, according to National Weather Service records at Pittsfield Municipal Airport.

But more than 5 inches of rain puts the month 40 percent above normal for precipitation. Widespread flooding followed a deluge of nearly 2.7 inches on Dec. 17 and 18.

Stockbridge Bowl.jpg

A most unusual sight for the end of December: Like other Berkshire waterways, Stockbridge Bowl was entirely ice-free and placid on Friday afternoon under persistent fog and drizzle. Drier and more seasonable weather is predicted for the county in the days ahead.

The next few days won’t feel as mild, but will still be above average. Typical temperatures for late December and early January range from the mid-teens to the low 30s in the…

Staff Picks 2023: “It’s us, it’s who we are.” Terri O’Connor on her role and the importance of Native American artwork and culture

We’re revisiting some of our favorite stories of the year. This one was originally published July 20.

I picked this one because I appreciate all the individual and groups of artists I have gotten the opportunity to talk to, but I think it is especially important to highlight Indigenous culture, history, and life given that our dominant culture is strategically designed to ignore, erase, or destroy those precious things, and Terri is a wonderful woman playing her part in fighting that. 

— Isaac Trussoni

Wisconsin is no stranger to the presence of deep, yet often under-discussed Native American history that ties in so closely with the state. While much of the visual representation of Native history is most immediately seen in the geography of Wisconsin, many artists are pushing for more visibility and vocality around Native history and culture through their own creations. 

Terri O’Connor is one such local artist. While Terri now lives in Poynette, Wisconsin, she has been around the Madison area since her early 20s. O’Connor’s passion for art started long before she found her way to Madison as art was second nature at home.    

“I started my art way back when I was young,” O’Connor told Madison365. “I just always dabbled in the art scene a bit, slowly working with the tribe on quite a few little projects that they had. My dad was an artist, so he had paintings that he had done in the house like some horses, I remember. I also had my mom’s brother who was an artist, so he did a lot of beautiful artwork, too, as a painter, as well. I saw that and was always interested in art.”

O’Connor grew up surrounded not just by art, but by Native American art and culture specifically…

Pop star Howard Jones says he’s working with AI to create music after his death

As an artist ahead of his time, Howard Jones was the first to play the keyboard like a guitar, and wore his hair in a two-tone Mohican to get noticed. Now, 40 years after he brought synth-pop to the 1980s, he is pushing the boundaries again.

The 68-year-old singer, who had six UK Top 10 hits at the height of his fame, is having an AI version of his voice made so he can create choirs of himself, and keep singing even if he loses his voice – or perhaps even after he is gone. The technology may have been causing more concern than excitement, but Howard says he is embracing it, albeit with some precautions.

He says: “I still try to keep up with new technology, but this is the thing I’m very excited about. My friend, BT, who is an American electronic artist, is making the AI version of my voice. I’ll be able to use it in the studio to create choirs and different extensions of the voice, I can’t wait to use that.”

He admits it could keep him singing after age affects his voice, but says: “It isn’t primarily for longevity. If you lose your voice, or in the studio you need to fill in a part that’s in your head you can call on the AI version.”

The singer enjoyed fame in the 80s (

But he concedes there is a “worrying side” to AI. He says: “We’re trying to make sure the sound of my AI voice is protected. It will have stuff embedded in it so if someone gets hold of it they can’t use it without permission. I don’t think AI can come up with original things.

“It can copy and mix things from the…
