ACTOR FRANK MCRAE OF 'PARADISE ALLEY' PASSES AWAY

By Mike Johnson on 2021-05-05 21:34:00 Actor Frank McRae, who had a long film and television career, passed away today the age of 80 following a heart attack, Deadline.com reported. After a career in the NFL, McRae pivoted to acting and was featured in the 1978 Sylvester Stallone film Paradise Alley, which Stallone wrote, directed and starred in.  Set in New York City s Hell s Kitchen in the 1940s, the film tells the story of two brothers who get involved in professional wrestling.  Named for a club in the film in which a wrestling ring is set up, the film featured McRae playing the role of Big Glory, the in-house wrestling champion in the club, who, if beaten, can earn Stallone and his brothers $100.

Foveaux Strait oyster parasite linked to Marlborough and Big Glory Bay

Kavinda Herath/Stuff Barnes Wild Bluff Oysters staff in Invercargill are being kept busy as the oyster season is in full swing. The discovery of the oyster parasite Bonamia ostreae in the Foveaux Strait has not impacted commercial operations. Genome sequencing shows the strain of Bonamia ostreae found in wild Foveaux Strait oysters in March is closely related to those previously found in Marlborough and Big Glory Bay. The parasite was first detected in New Zealand waters in the Marlborough Sounds in 2015, before being detected in Big Glory Bay on Stewart Island in 2017 where thousands of farmed oysters were pulled out to protect the wild fishery in the strait.
