Special Festival Double Issue

This Week’s Feature Story

Catch The Festival Fever Night, with its heady blend of soul and calypso and a performance by the Lashing Dogs.

The main focus of the day on Sunday is the Freedom March and Emancipation service held at the Sunday Morning Well, where the proclamation was first read in 1834. In the evening, the Miss BVI Pageant will be crowning a new queen at the Multi-Purpose Sports Complex starting at 8pm.

Serious partygoers will be partying on through the night as the next day, August Monday, is the big one!

Starting at 3am, the Steel Band on the Road will set the pace for the day’s activities which include the Rise and Shine Tramp, which starts at 4am.

The Cultural Parade begins in the afternoon where hundreds of people line the street to watch the decorated floats with their soca bands and the colorful and energetic dance troupes pass by. There is lots of dancing, music and good times as the whole crowd jumps to the beat, so join in the fun and have a great, safe Festival. — Jan Critchley

The Festival is well and truly underway and the anticipation is running high for the Annual Cultural Parade on August Monday. The Calypso Competition, VG entertainer Elvis White and many other performers have already left the crowds wanting more. And these performances promise to be just the beginning of greater live entertainment by renowned artists such as Maxi Priest and Ziggy Ranking.

Tonight (Thursday), you are in for a treat with a new competition to be held at Festiville, the “BVI Can Dance Competition”. Based on hit US show So You Think You Can Dance – this is definitely one not to be missed as there is no shortage of talented dancers in the BVI! Tomorrow night (Friday) is also a top night as it is not only the Local Food Fair but also International Reggae Night with Maxi Priest headlining the show.

On Saturday, the Festival really gets into high gear with the BMSA Soap Box Competition at HLSCC and International Soca

Ask Koren Your personal E-therapist, is in the house!

The Choice Between Two Girls with whom you can communicate and who is good in a crisis.

Who encourages you to be your best self?

Sometimes we meet someone and they constantly bring out the worst in us; there are frequent arguments and sometimes insecurity and jealousy. Try to avoid those situations and instead choose the person who calls you out on your weak sides and sees your potential – not just who you are, but who you can be.

Someone having children is not a liability once you are prepared to be a step-father and you are emotionally and financially ready for the added responsibility. If this woman has a low paying job, that does not automatically mean you will have to take care of her completely; at least she has some income. The other one could lose her job and be in a worse position. The attitude of being ambitious is more important than the current job.

I hope you are able to make the right decision that will ensure long-term happiness and whoever you choose, be kind enough to let the other one down gently, letting her know you did appreciate the time spent with her. You never know if things don’t work out, you might find yourself right back at her doorstep.

Dear Koren, I am a 29 year old professional man who recently returned home after studying abroad and I find myself attracted to two women. One is a professional also and she is really intelligent. The other one is also intelligent, but not in the academic sense and she has three children and a low paying job, which means I would have to take care of her. I really want to settle down, but I don’t want to date two women, so how do I make up my mind?

–– One Woman Man Dear One Woman Man, You are lucky to be in the fortunate position of having options; however, you will have to say goodbye to one of these ladies at some point. The earlier the better, so as not to lead anyone of them on.

Ask yourself, “who am I” and “what makes me happy?” That will give you an idea of what kind of woman you want to be with. If you have a quick temper, you would probably be better off with someone who is calm or if you are a bad spender, a woman who is frugal or financially savvy might complement you more.

Make sure you look at lasting qualities and not just short-term or external attributes. It’s nice to have someone good-looking, but in the long run, you want real core values – someone who is unselfish, can compromise,

Kill The Irishman As far as gangster movies go this is one with a heart. And that heart is worn on the sleeve of the strong and robust character Danny Green (Ray Stevenson) an Irish Catholic immigrant trying to carve out a living in the depressed city of Cleveland during the 1970s. A man of ethical convictions, Danny doesn’t start off on the wrong side of the law, but like an inner city Robin Hood, he finds robbing from the rich to benefit his family, a sort of social justice.

As he rises in power and clout (through violence and intimidation) many of the key mob gangs perceive him as a threat and a price is put on his head. The problem is no one can seem to “finish the job.” Danny miraculously lives through one attempt after another on his life with panache and style, as he says “with the grace of God on my shoulder.” The impenetrable gang-

ster is not so fortunate in his private life and his wife takes the children, packs up and heads to a safer neighborhood.

However, Danny is undeterred and soon the high life with booze, money and women at his disposal leaves him feeling hollow. Yet the “luck of the Irish” remains with him and Danny soon breaks free of working for the mob and begins to work for himself. The movie has more twists and turns, and probably one too many car bombings in a single film, but staying true to life as the story does, it follows the real life man and a much publicized time of gang violence in Cleveland. Val Kilmer and Christopher Walken are recognizable in their roles as fellow gangsters, but newcomer Ray Stevenson carries the film with a singularly brilliant performance.

Tradition,Culture & Fun race was so popular that Ellis Thomas, the owner of the track and the father of modern horse racing here, convinced the government to declare August Tuesday a special holiday for horse racing.

This August’s event in the refurbished and modernized track will see a new generation of horses competing for the coveted Premier’s Cup. Trevelyan, the winner of last year’s Premier’s Cup, will be a heavy favorite and a popular contender in Tuesday’s race. But others, including Good Prospecting, winner of St. Thomas Governor’s Cup and East End Tap which placed second, will be among several hot rivals determined to run away with the cup.

— Claudia Colli

Ever since the Emancipation Proclamation was read out at the Sunday Morning Well in Road Town in 1834, Festival has been a family affair. For more than a century and a half, islanders have gotten together on the first Monday in August to celebrate their liberation and island life with picnics, scratch band music and games that run the gamut from tug of war to egg and spoon, donkey and sack races.

Carrot Bay Fiesta, starting on Thursday August 4th and running to the 6th, celebrates the traditional each year with its fiesta. Jam packed with cultural activities, food and music, the Fiesta will include, as always, old fashioned games for kids and adults, fungi music, fishing tournaments and food ranging from fried fish to goat water. But the best new soca and reggae bands will be blasting out their distinctive sounds throughout the Fiesta as well. This year Taurus Riley is the headliner along with Triple K and Kaos and others.

August Tuesday is also a day of traditional Festival fun with water sports held at the Road Town Jetty in the morning. Swimming contests, a greased pole contest, kayak races and a Virgin Islands sloop race held between the Premier and the Governor are among the morning’s activities. In the afternoon, the crowds head for Sea Cows Bay where horse racing is on the agenda. The original horse races were run in the streets of Road Town near the old Agricultural Station, with the first race to be held at the Albion racetrack in Sea Cows Bay in 1956.

Liberate Yourself...

From the little kids that have just learnt to walk to the older people, I say to you, get out there and live a little.

Liberate yourself from the normalities of life, break the routine and pay no attention to what’s irking you.

Reinvigorate yourself with joy, happiness and fun. Get a little wild, for it’s time to flaunt your colors. Let them sparkle in the light. Be high off pride and immune to apprehension and embarrassment.

Safety is key but one must be mindful of the distinction between being safe and being conservative. This is a time of benevolence and altruism, so by no means am I suggesting that we unshackle danger, but let this year’s motto be liberation. Not only the liberation of our ancestors but the liberation of ourselves too.

The rays are bright.

Blinding. Stifling in fact. You can almost see the beams of heat ripple through the atmosphere as they toast your skin. You try to escape it, run from it, but to no avail. The sun is an adept stalker with an insatiable desire to make each step sweatier than the last. It knows no personal buffer and can be handed no warrant.

It is unrelenting, unyielding but above all merciless. It is the middle of the summer so there is no escaping it. THE HEAT HAS YOU. Advice? Don’t fight it, embrace it. It’s Festival! And what better way to take these words to heart than to go running wild on the streets in scantily clad clothes that sparkle, dazzle and make every ‘civilized’ person look twice at such a spectacle. Yes indeed, Festival is here! It’s the remedy that makes you forget about the heat and the constant sweat. The flags are already up and the Village is in full swing. So prepare yourself mentally and physically for two weeks of relentless partying. Or is this so?

I don’t know. It could just be my imagination but I get the feeling that come Festival time, people just may be a little too reserved. Now, by no means am I endorsing vulgarity on the streets, to frighten our tourists and forever scar the little toddlers amongst them. But I am encouraging everyone to loosen up, unwind and to pierce this veneer of bashfulness that we have seemingly succumbed to. Yes, Festival is a spectacle but it is a celebration too. A celebration of emancipation: celebration being the operative word.

And celebration, by definition, includes everyone.

Maxi Priest – Top Billing At Festiville If you enjoy your reggae with a little bit of R&B thrown in – then don’t miss Maxi Priest this Friday as he tops the bill at this year’s Festival. Maxi Priest, is a British reggae vocalist of Jamaican decent and is best known for singing reggae music with a R&B influence.

He became one of the first international successes and one of the top reggae fusion entertainers of all time.

In the late 80s, with hits including Some Guys Have All the Luck and a cover of Cat Steven's classic Wild World gave Maxi his first U.S. smash hit. Roots tracks like

his duet with Beres Hammond, How Can We Ease The Pain took Maxi’s music to an entirely new level, gaining him worldwide recognition.

Since then, Maxi has enjoyed tremendous success as a singer, often collaborating with other artists such as Roberta Flack, Shabba Ranks and Shaggy and he has enjoyed popularity and recognition around the world with his uplifting and distinctive sound. In fact, he is the most successful reggae solo artist in the world, second only to the legendary Bob Marley. He has enjoyed numerous worldwide hits as well as a number one pop chart smash and is widely credited with helping spread the gospel of reggae and Caribbean music.

Your Guide to British Virgin Islands Events However, all is not lost, as from August 4th we will be transported back to the dark days of prohibition in the form of “Larry’s Speakeasy.” A limited bar and pub grub menu will be available from 5pm till late. The Speakeasy will not open every day so call ahead to make sure its open on 545-6967.

Carrot Bay Fiesta One of the highlights of Festival is definitely the opening of the Carrot Bay Cultural Fiesta which kicks off on Thursday, 4th August with the Winston Molyneaux Fishing Tournament and later the magical Torch Light Procession from Lower Carrot Bay to the Cultural Fiesta Donkey Races at Carrot Bay Village.

There will be shuttle Cultural Fiesta buses each night from Road Town (next to Colombian Emeralds) and from the Capoon’s Bay Field. On Friday, family fun continues with lime and spoon, bucket races, egg toss and the famous donkey races.

This year the tug-a-war rematch will be hot with married couples try to make a comeback after losing last year to their single counterparts! Headlining the last lap on Saturday will be reggae artist Taurus Riley and soca giant KrosFyah, so make sure you get out to experience the Cultural Fiesta for a great end to Festival 2011.

By Dean “The Sportsman” Greenaway

Ending The Season On A High There’s as much anticipation for the start of the season as there is for its end. While very team or individual has high hopes only one team or individual in an event ends on a high.

It was that type of weekend for the Pythons, who not only repeated as BVI Softball Association Irvine “Fletcher” Scatliffe league champs, but matched two teams before them in doing so—the Eagles and the Hawks—who also went through the season undefeated and won a title.

The Pythons—formerly the ESHS Rams—has won 22 straight games and suffered only two losses in the last two years – both in 2010 – winning 40 of 42 games over the stretch. Simply remarkable! Thanks to the coaching and guidance of Terry “Chino” Chinnery, who has worked diligently over the years in his dedication to the craft and building the team. It clearly shows patience, hard work and consistency does pay off.

Meanwhile, on the track, it was another set of season ending highs. Competing at the Pan Am Jr. Track and Field Championships in Miramar, Florida, Jevonte Croal in the Long Jump, Kanishque Todman in the Heptathlon and Raheem “Ras” Taylor in the 800m completed their seasons on a high.

It was a home coming of sorts for Croal who attended Western High School, in his international debut where he cut the sand after leaping 6.82 meters (22’4”) to finish fifth in the competition.

“To me I didn’t perform too well because I know I can do better,” Croal said. “This was my first big meet of the season and was a great experience for me. I was fouling a lot and my run up was not on point. But, I’ve learnt that I have to work a lot harder to reach my goals.”

Todman, in the second Heptathlon of her career, added 516 points on to the 3548 points total she established during last years CAC Jr. Championships, when she scored 4046 points. Todman crashed into the fourth barrier in the 100m Hurdles, but recovered to finish in 17.06 seconds. She cleared a personal best 1.49m (4’10”) in the High Jump; had a 9.21m (30’2”) throw in the Shot Put and ran a wind aided 26.79 seconds in the 200m to end the first day with 2407 points.

Todman had a wind assisted 5.56m (18’3”) mark in the Long Jump on Sunday, tossed the Javelin 22.09m (72’6”) and ran 2:36.00 in the 800m for her total to finish seventh.

“From home, my coach told me I can make 4000 points and I achieved it,” Todman pointed out. “The events in which I thought I’d get personal bests in I didn’t and the ones I thought I would fall down on, I got personal bests in.

Taylor ended his season with an 800m personal best of one minute, 57.84 seconds, lowering his previous best from 1:58.33. “I was expecting more but I can’t beat up myself because I ended my season with a personal best,” he noted.

‘Billy the Exterminator’ – It All Began With Ants gators, to Arizona to chase a herd of sharp-toothed javelinas and to South Carolina to fend off geese with an umbrella.

According to Bretherton, this is only the tip of the iceberg. “I don’t think production quite realizes,” he says, “that we’ve got another four or five years once we hit the road, because there’s so much out there.”

Donnie Bretherton relates the incident that set her son on his eventual career path.

“When Billy was a kid,” she says, “he got stung really bad by fire ants that stung him so bad that he lost every one of his toenails. What was amazing about it, he never forgot that. That was always in the back of his mind, to take care of the insects after that happened.” As to whether his motivation became revenge against pests, Billy Bretherton says, “Not really against anything but fire ants and wasps.”

Billy Bretherton stars in “Billy the Exterminator,” returning for its fourth season Tuesday on A&E Network.

On Tuesday, August 2nd, the fourth season of “Billy the Exterminator” launches with 26 episodes on A&E Network, continuing to focus on the day-today operation of Vexcon, Bretherton’s family-run extermination business Billy the Exterminator outside Shreveport, LA. Also on the payroll are Bretherton’s brother, Ricky; his mother, Donnie; and his father, called Big Bill. The working uniform of the company — mostly black with silver studs and a skull-and-crossbones motif — reflects Bretherton’s personal style.

In the new season, Vexcon is moving beyond the borders of Louisiana to tackle pest problems in other states. Bretherton and Vexcon head to the Florida Everglades to deal with pythons, to Texas to wrestle
