This Week’s Feature Story
BVI Spring Regatta and Sailing Festival In just over a week hundreds of sailors and their crews will gather at Nanny Cay Resort and Marina for the 2012 BVI Spring Regatta and Sailing Festival. The anticipation is building for this, the biggest yacht race in the BVI. Running from 26th March to 1st April, the regatta is now in its 41st year, so head to Nanny Cay to experience world-class racing action as well as the great post-race debates amongst the crews at the bar afterwards as tactics are examined and teams prepare themselves for the next day. The BVI Spring Regatta truly has something for everyone, and for all levels of racing know how. The Sailing Festival kicks off the action with races up the Sir Francis Drake Channel to the renowned Bitter End Yacht Club. After this warm up, the BVI Spring Regatta Village opens on Thursday night for three days of world class racing action. The Regatta Village also becomes party central and the heartbeat of the event. It will be in full swing with bars open from 2:00pm
to midnight daily, international and local food stalls, a fashion show and live entertainment each night including Hudson and the Hoo Doo Cats, 3rd Dimension, Eric Stone, Quito and The Edge and Gazebo. And last but not least, although the sailing teams are all going for gold, the BVI Spring Regatta organizers are going for green and gold! Already holders of the Silver Certificate awarded by the Sailors of the Sea Clean Regatta Program, this year the team is going for the Gold certificate. One major environmental initiative that has been introduced are the winners’ awards which have been made from re-cycled glass by the BVI’s Glass Studio Project. Other initiatives include spill kits for race committee boats, environmentally friendly cleaning products in skippers’ bags, food vendors using biodegradable containers and Mount Gay’s re-usable cups. So get along to Nanny Cay for some serious racing action, party with the crews and enjoy the camaraderie at what is undoubtedly one of the year’s most exciting events. – Jan Critchley

Crying Fowl There are chickens all over Tortola: at restaurants (and not just on the menu), in formerly quiet neighborhoods where residents awaken to the clucking of hens and the crowing of roosters; at the beach, and even behind my office window. Who do these chickens belong too? Are people keeping them for their eggs, to make stew, are they pets, or are they just wild? I ask these questions because I had been the surrogate mother of two chicks. We started with just one chick, which we rescued from our cat. Roger had come up the hill with the poor little creature in his mouth, pleased as punch with his miniscule prey. Miraculously, it had come to no harm. It was adorable and fluffy, with a delightful little cheep, cheep, so we named it chirpy, and decided to raise it until it was big enough to fend for itself. That was chicken number one. I found the second while going for a walk in my neighborhood just a few days later – a tiny piece of black fluff running along the road, lost and motherless. I looked around, but there wasn’t another chicken in sight. “I do not need another chicken,” I thought to myself as I bent down to scoop it up – but on the other hand, I couldn’t bear for it to become road kill. So I carried it back to my house and placed it in a large plastic storage box with water and some cooked rice. I tapped at the bottom of the box in
Lime ... “to hang around idly” or “to go out on the town.” Source: The Dictionary of Virgin Islands English Creole by the late educator and historian Lito Valls. The Limin’ Times brings you all the news about when and where to “lime” in the British Virgin Islands. Limin’ Times Entertainment Guide
my best mother hen imitation to show it the food. When my husband came home, I could hear his unspoken words: “Why would you bring another chicken home? Isn’t one enough?” But he too began tapping on the bottom of the box in his own mother chicken impersonation. Chirpy 2 thrived for a while, happy to follow around in Chirpy 1’s footsteps. Sadly though, he didn’t make it. Amazingly, another bird came into our lives just a day or two later, thanks once again to Roger. It was a tiny ground dove, which we hope to raise until it’s fit enough return to the wild. As for Chirpy 1, he’s growing by the day; we’re hoping to find him a good home before he gets much bigger.

Ask Koren Your personal E-therapist, is in the house!
Ask Koren Would I Lie To Him If I Loved Him Dear Koren, I have a boyfriend that I am really in love with and I want us to have a happy life together. However, sometimes I find myself being dishonest and deliberately withholding information from him about things that I have done. Would I lie to him if I genuinely love him? What does this mean for our relationship? –Confused
your efforts to be honest and if he gets upset, then you must give him some time to come to terms with your actions. If he leaves you for telling the truth, then maybe that relationship is not for you anyway. It is possible to be in love with someone and lie to him if you feel that your story will preserve the relationship or protect what you have. However, when you realize how the lies are affecting the relationship, true love will propel you to speak the truth to change the circumstances. So my dear, start confessing. Sit with your partner and explain to him what is bothering you. Give him some insight as to why you said what you did and your reasons for doing so. Don’t try to excuse your behaviors or justify any lies, just try to be as honest and open as possible. Think of the golden rule of doing unto others as you would like done to you and speak the truth in love.
Dear Confused, Lying to someone you love is not an ideal ingredient for a good relationship, even though sometimes it seems like an easy way out. When you lie to someone, you feel guilty and sometimes trapped in your lie and you keep telling others to cover up the first one. Before you know it, you have made a mountain out of a molehill and the truth gets lost somewhere under that mountain. When your boyfriend finds out, he would feel betrayed and the trust would be diminished in the relationship. Going forward, he might question everything you say and you would feel that he is being unfair when you are genuinely telling the truth. Tell me though, why do you feel the need to lie? Are you afraid that he will get angry? Leave you? Telling the truth is a risk you must take if this relationship will grow and flourish. I believe that your partner will appreciate

Tyler Perry’s Good Deeds In his first leading role without his trademark Madea persona, Tyler Perry tackles the romantic drama genre. Set in San Francisco, Perry plays Wesley Deeds, CEO of Deeds Inc., a computer software firm who’s engaged to the beautiful Natalie (Gabrielle Union) a successful realtor. While he has a wedding to plan, he’s also dealing with his wayward brother Walter (Brian White), who has a knack of getting into trouble very often, much to the chagrin of their authoritarian mother Wilimena (Phylicia Rashad). It was because of Walter’s problems that Wesley had to alter his life to take over the family business that was left by their deceased father. Having to drive Walter to work because his driver’s license was suspended, they run into a woman Lindsey (Thandie Newton) who’s parked in Wesley’s spot at their building. While Walter rudely yells at her to move, Lindsey equally responds back at both brothers and Walter calls a tow truck to remove her vehicle when they realize her sixyear old daughter Ariel ( Jordenn Thompson) is inside. It turns out Lindsey works at the building as a late shift janitor and is coming in early to get an advance on her pay because she’s late on her rent. Adding more stress to the day, child services is on her back because she’s also been late in dropping off and picking up Ariel from school. After being evicted from her home and spending nights in her car, Lindsey starts working more hours with Ariel sleeping in the supply room when Wesley spots her. She initially mistakes him for one of the employees and wonders if he will report her to “the man” until he tells her his last name. Softening her attitude a bit, the two
Cast & Credits Tyler Perry ---------------------------Wesley Deeds Gabrielle Union------------------------------Natalie Brian White----------------------------------Walter Thandie Newton-----------------------------Lindsey share a meal and tell each other background stories. Her plight was the result of her husband dying in Iraq, which left her alone to care for her child and abandon her plans to be a nurse. Meanwhile, Natalie starts to wonder about Wesley when she can no longer predict his every move. He even starts changing his daily routine like listening to rap music before going to work and dressing differently. A change Lindsey has inspired. After child services takes Ariel away Wesley steps in and helps by setting up Lindsey with some living arrangements and making her life comfortable. Throughout the film as Wesley and Lindsey grow closer we start to see Wesley question whose life is he living, this isn’t the life he planned for himself. In the end, love is a complicated emotion and ultimately fate determines what’s best for everyone. 15

High Schools Volleyball League Becomes A Hit School sports foster untold experiences, offer challenges, there’s camaraderie among players, teamwork, discipline, lifelong lessons among a host of other intangibles for participants. The BVI is one of the few countries that doesn’t have inter-secondary school competition programs in a myriad of sports and as such, most team sports in particular, have not had the infusion of new players to foster its continued growth and development, thus ensuring the longevity of the sport. There isn’t competition for sports on National Teams to represent the Territory in regional and international competitions. The BVI Amateur Volleyball Association has this year, introduced a Girls High School exhibition league, with participants from Elmore Stoutt, Seventh Day Adventist, St. Georges and Cedar School. Elmore Stoutt High School Captain Sheronda Pickering is in her second year of playing. “Previously, we played in the women’s league so it was a bit more difficult,” she noted. “Playing now (with our peers) is a bit calmer, relaxing and easier.” Rea Sprauve also agreed its easier. “It’s less intimidating because you were playing against women who were playing for umpteen years,” she noted. “It’s definitely easier and I think it’s good. I’ve been looking for a sport for a long time. I’ve found volleyball and I’m happy.” Armoy James, also of Elmore Stoutt and a two year player sided with her mates on the ease of the games. “Today for example, I was expecting more work,” she said. “I was a little disappointed, but I find playing in this league is easier on us, because we get to learn the game

better. I think the league is a good idea.” Cedar School’s captain Kirsten Malone, a volleyball newbie, said it’s fun playing “but, it sucks loosing the games,” she said. “It’s good for us because our school only has a basketball team – and all schools have other sports they play – so it was good to have another sport in our school.” Teammate Argyro Olympitis said her only volleyball experience comes from pick up games at school – not as part of a team – but as a lesson. “I enjoy playing the game even if I do miss the ball or don’t get it over the net,” she explained. “I enjoy playing and trying my hardest. Playing in the league, sometimes it has been difficult and as Kirsten said, losing sucks, but when we win, it’s one of those things you can’t really explain anyway.” Samora Lewis, a rookie, admits it’s fun playing in the league. “But I wish we could practice more,” she said. “I do enjoy playing in the league with your friends and getting to hang out with them. I think the league is good because we get to interact with other people.” High School matches are played on Saturdays and Sundays at the Multipurpose Sports Complex. 19

CSI: Miami Stars Contemplate Chances of Romance and Renewal In the episode airing Sunday, March 25, called Law & Disorder, Calleigh makes a life-changing decision that may give her a second chance with Delko (or at least that’s the tease from CBS). As to what’s happening with the relationship — nicknamed Delquesne, a mash-up of the characters’ last names — Rodriguez says, “Not enough, in my opinion, as usual. I think we’re always sort of hinting at it and not taking a big bite. Maybe there’s a sense of urgency now that the season’s winding down. “I think there’s some longing to be together on both parts, but there’s been quite a bit of space. The main problem is that we just haven’t made the decision to go there and explore it. I don’t want to speculate on what’s going on off camera. Maybe that’ll end up being what we end up seeing.” Both Rodriguez and Procter express concern about whether the show will get an 11th season, which would mean either Delquesne gets resolved this season or not at all. “I find it hard to believe there is any doubt,” says Rodriguez, “but everything I hear leads me to believe there is an element of doubt. This is the first time I’ve ever not been 100 percent confident. I feel pretty good, but I wouldn’t bet the farm on it.” “I would want a real senior year,” Procter says. “I would want us to know this is our last year. I would want there to be parties. I would want us to do things together, Bonnie-and-Clyde it up. It might be a negotiating point for CBS and David (series star David Caruso). Let’s hope it’s an artistic choice and not that.” Of course, this raises the question, could CSI: Miami continue without Caruso’s Lt. Horatio Caine? “I don’t know,” Procter says. “That’s a good question.”
The cool, drizzly weather is most un-Miami-like in Manhattan Beach, Calif., on the set of CBS’ Sunday crime drama CSI: Miami. Just before boxes of hot pizza arrive to drive away the chill, stars Emily Procter and Adam Rodriguez take a break from filming to contemplate the on-again-but-mostly-offagain romance between their respective characters, CSI’s Calleigh Duquesne and Eric Delko. Procter, back in fighting trim after having her first child last season, relates the long will-they-or-won’tthey wait to a similar situation between two of the characters — Lady Mary and Matthew — on her beloved British period drama Downton Abbey, which airs on PBS’ Masterpiece. “It really bothered me,” she says, “until I saw Downton Abbey, and I realized, as a viewer, I loved the carrot on the stick of Mary and Matthew. You’re watching people who are right for each other and have been through enough, that you know are eventually going to get together, with just a little ‘Eek!’ that they might not. And for those viewers who wonder when it was exactly that Calleigh and Eric broke up — which apparently took place sometime in the fall of 2010 — Procter says it happened, “when Emily Procter got pregnant, and she couldn’t go out in the field, when I didn’t really work for a year. I didn’t know they’d broken up either. “I actually was in the writers’ office a couple of episodes ago, and I’m like, ‘Are we broke up?’ But it’s CSI: Miami time, and you don’t know how long it’s been. It’s probably just been a week.” Limin’ Times Entertainment Guide
