This Week’s Feature Story by Claudia Colli

The CADA Players Presents: Kaleidoscope If you missed it last weekend, make sure to get your tickets for this Saturday and Sunday’s performances (May 2nd and 3rd) of Kaleidoscope – the Cada Player’s dynamic exploration of the human experience through dance and music.

“We succeeded in everything we set out to do, it all worked beautifully” explained Joanne Penney who co-produced the show with her daughter Sarah.

This weekend’s performances promise the same level of professionalism and stagecraft that have marked all Cada shows from Ringmaster to last year’s knockout African Dreams. Says Joanne, “the fun and lighthearted show is a joyous upbeat marriage of life music and vibrant movement with dancers, singers, clowns, musicians and projections sharing the stage.

There’s never a dull moment.”

The company’s talented crew hails from 15 different countries, although almost all are full-time VI residents. Some though, like Liz Keller a professional stage manager and Ryan Harper a projectionist have come from California to volunteer their services.

The primary choreographer for the show is Sarah Penney, Joanne’s daughter and the show’s co-producer. Additional dance numbers were choreographed by

Amanda Georges, Diandra Jones and Joshua James.

Packed with dance and music the performance features 20 dance numbers, as well as original musical compositions, vocalists, piano, drums, bass, steel pan, and even a string section. “It’s extraordinary the number of people who step up to share their skills.

The dance company just gets stronger each year,” says Joanne. “Some people leave, but there is always another talented individual to take their place.”

Proceeds from the performances go to Green VI, which will have a display featuring their recycling and conservation efforts. There will also be a video highlighting their organization and its many initiatives.

The show will be held at a spruced up Sir Briercliffe Hall and show times are 8pm on Saturday and 6pm on Sunday.

Ask Koren

Your personal E-therapist, is in the house!

My Money Now Our Money

Ask Koren

Dear Koren, I’m engaged to be married in December and after a pre-marital counselling session with my fiancée, she suggested we have a joint account which I agreed to and told her we can either open one now or when she changes her name. I got the shock of my life when she insisted on being added to my current account. She has an idea of how much I make, but I have some money from my parents which I don’t want to publicize right now. What do I do?

–Frustrated

vious account has some money that you do not want to touch right now; no need to disclose the amount.

You have a right to respectfully decline to have her name added to your existing account but you can consider bringing some of your money over into the new account that you and her will start together.

Even when you have a joint account, guidelines still have to be set on how much both parties contribute and up to how much can be withdrawn individually without the other party’s consent as major expenses should be discussed. It helps to build cooperation and communication and is also useful if one person is better than the other at handling money.

Separate accounts allow for individuals in a marriage to have some degree of independence.

Counselling sessions will bring out these types of issues and it is normal that two persons will have different viewpoints. Your job is not to convert her to your way of thinking but to share any information that will help her to understand you better and to listen and learn so you understand who she is.

Dear Frustrated, You must be feeling a little backed into a corner.

Here you are trying to meet your fiancée half way only to feel bombarded into taking a bigger step than you intended to. I do understand your stance of having a joint account that starts when the relationship gets serious or when you get married. Usually what individuals have accumulated before they got serious does not necessarily have to go into the general kitty unless done willingly.

Money is one of the biggest sources of conflict in marriages and the advantage of this coming up now is that you get to discuss important financial matters before you are actually married. Honesty should be the best policy in handling this situation. Even though you were not ready to disclose that you had an inheritance, now might be the time to tell her that your pre-

By Dean “The Sportsman” Greenaway

The BIG Match! BVI vs Curacao Unbeaten at 2-0 in its North American Caribbean Rugby Association (NACRA) South Cup Zone League play after victories over St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the BVI Rugby team is facing its biggest match in its history at 3 pm on Saturday at A.O Shirley Recreation Grounds. A victory against Curacao – who’s currently at 1-1 in zone play – would see the home team advancing to the next round for the first time in its history.

The squad, which has been in a rebuilding mode, now has competition for spots on the roster with an infusion of young talent among the veterans.

“We need to come clean, just beat Curacao and get the points from the match, and the rights to play Barbados,” Coach Sherlock “Solo” Solomon pointed out. “A draw will probably put us through on points etc., but, we are not thinking on that. A straight win, 6 or 9 points and go to meet Barbados in the playoffs.”

The team has been working hard Solomon noted and they had a 5 on 5 beach tournament on Sunday.

He said as the competition increases, they have to work much harder and increase the intensity.

Importantly, he said they have some depth this time around.

“Guys have been challenging for places and that has stepped up the tempo per individual and if we can put it together as a team, we should come out victorious against Curacao,” he said. “We are ready, ready, ready. This is a game we can’t afford to loose.

The guys are pumped up and really looking forward to the game. We need to finish off the season with a bang. We’re ready to bring it on.”

Since their 22-15 victory over St. Vincent and the Limin’ Times Entertainment Guide

Stiff Rugby Action Expected

Grenadines which avenged a 24-22 loss last year, Solomon said the competition within the team has become stiffer because of the depth.

“We showed some depth in the last game and we had five changes, we lost some players who were unavailable, but now everybody is back,” Solomon noted, adding that the team won’t be picked until today while noting they need to have a good look at those who are returning and available. “We have a full roster now. Currently, we have 33 players on our list.

We need 22 on the squad, so picking the first 15 to start is really tough – for which I’m happy. Competition among the players is there. We have four or five wing forwards and they are all competing for a place which is what you want on a team, so the scenario fits us well and the competition among the players is what we need. They will be fighting each other down to the wire and that’s a good thing for rugby.”

Solomon said they have been enjoying success this year and support coming from all angles in what he called a dream season – one which they have been really enjoying.

“We really need to win on Saturday to keep the momentum going and into next year,” he said.

Fifty Shades of Grey Based on the first of a trilogy of novels by author E. L. James, Fifty Shades of Grey was released earlier this year to mixed reviews, however despite this it was an immediate box office hit breaking numerous records.

The hit film stars Dakota Johnson as 21-year-old Anastasia (Ana) Steele, a literature student whose whole world changes when she meets the young, yet troubled business magnate, Christian Grey (Jamie Dorman).

The story begins when Ana’s roommate, Kate,

Christian showers Ana with gifts and favors, such as a new car and laptop and although she initially consents and participates willingly to his carnal desires, he keeps Ana emotionally distant. While still trying to understand the terms of the “agreement” Ana asks Christian to demonstrate how he would "punish" her for rule breaking, which he does. For Ana though, this is a step too far, she is upset and tells him she has fallen in love with him, but she knows that she can’t be what he wants her to be.

On the day of her graduation, Ana celebrates with friends, and, after drinking too much, spontaneously calls Christian. Concerned, he goes to the bar to find Ana, who passes out. She wakes up the next morning in Christian's hotel room and is relieved to find out that “nothing happened.” However, they kiss passionately before they leave the hotel and Christian takes her home.

Later, Christian takes Ana on his private helicopter to his condo in the Escala Building of Seattle and Limin’ Times Entertainment Guide

We May Not Miss the Water But They Do I have heard a few people complain about the searing heat recently and a few days ago while washing my jeep I noticed a small bevy of bees that had gathered around the tap that has a slight drip, trying to suck up whatever moisture they could. I began noticing them more frequently around every bit of water and damp ground in the next few days, and only then did it hit home to me just how dry conditions have been in the BVI for the past few weeks.
