Sharon Flax-Mars, Director of Tourism for the BVITB said, “The BVI Food Fete is a wonderful opportunity for the Territory to showcase its cuisine and the program has been designed so that diners will have the opportunity to island hop while sampling local dishes such as the famous Anegada spiny lobster; our signature cocktail, The Painkiller and much more.”

Throughout the month-long BVI Food Fete, there are many events including a Visiting Chef Program, which is designed to bring visiting international chefs to work with culinary students to give these aspiring young chefs valuable insight and knowledge from highly skilled culinary professionals.

Meet the visiting chefs at one of the major events, the Barefoot Gourmet Soiree on November 22nd at Peter Island for an evening of elegance and fine din-

Ask Koren

Your personal E-therapist, is in the house!

In Love with Former Abuser

Ask Koren

Dear Koren, I am 19 years old and my mother and aunt do not want me to date my boyfriend because he got in trouble for being with me when I was 13. If I am an adult now, is it not better if I go with somebody I already know, than to be sleeping around? He is 29 now and I am tired of those guys my age that just want to use me and they don’t even try to help me. I just want to be happy but I am fed up of how they are behaving and they don’t let him come to the house.

What do I do?

–JT

tomed to them or because you do not think you deserve better is also a terrible idea.

Even if he has changed, you can forgive him and move on. Maybe you are afraid that no one else will have you or maybe he has brainwashed you into thinking that he has loved you for a long time but abuse is not love. Molestation is not love. He took advantage of you then and maybe he is taking advantage of you now.

Your mother and aunt probably understand what happened to you as a child and they know that you deserve a fresh relationship that is not messy. If I were them, I would not want him at my house either.

He committed a crime, damaged your self-esteem and stole your innocence. While it may seem comfortable now, later on you will look back and wish someone had told you that you are way too special to be with someone who has hurt you in such a bad way.

Dear JT, You are an adult and have the right to date anyone you want, but be aware that there are consequences for everything you do. When you sit and think that this is the person who cared so little about you to take your innocence at the tender age of 13, is that someone that you can trust? You deserve to be in a good, loving relationship with someone who loves you and respects you. Helping you is nice, but that is not all you need.

What happens if when you are too mature for him and he decides that he needs to find someone else who is younger? How will you deal with that? Yes, you are correct, sleeping around is not a good idea but being with someone just because you are accus-

I Do… I love weddings, so when one of my best friends decided to tie the knot recently, my flight was booked and before I knew it I was winging my way to the UK to join in the celebrations.

The wedding was in Morecambe, an old-fashioned northern seaside town in Lancashire in the UK, which handily for me, is not far at all from my family. However, having just arrived at Gatwick, the journey started with a train ride from London to Lancaster with three friends and before long we were getting really excited at the prospect of the wedding and the fun that was going to be had.

And we were not disappointed. When we arrived at the hotel, the bride and groom to be were already there together with a sprinkling of their friends and family. I have known the bride most of my life and we know lots of the same people – so it was wonderful to be able to share their special day and see lots of friends too. The hotel was spectacular, situated right there on the beachfront combining architecturally the old with the new. The weather was also perfect which is saying something for the north of England in the middle of summer.

So after checking in and checking out our rooms, we started to celebrate the nuptials with the other wedding guests. The couple has a four-year-old daughter, Molly and a few other children were also invited and catered for well with tailor made goody

bags, an old fashioned ice cream cart and, playing on a continuous loop in an adjacent room – that must see film Sparkle.

The adults had a fine time too. The ceremony was lovely and there was not a dry eye in the house when we watched the bride, Elisabeth walking down the aisle to stand next to her husband to be, Jeremy to exchange their vows. In true wedding fashion, we all sat down to a late lunch, and speeches while the DJ set up the evenings entertainment, made even more fun with a “photo booth” which provided endless entertainment and also a brilliant keepsake for the guests and the happy couple.

The next day we said goodbye to friends old and new and before long it was time to wave off the happy couple as they drove away for their honeymoon, a little exhausted maybe, but excited about the prospect of spending the rest of their lives together.

The Going Is ‘Good’ for David Hyde Pierce In His TV Return How much difference does a decade make for a familiar actor?

David Hyde Pierce is about to supply an answer.

A four-time Emmy winner as Niles on Frasier, the television and stage star starts his first continuing series job since as he joins CBS’ The Good Wife Sunday, Nov. 2. He’ll recur as media personality Frank Prady, who decides he can have more impact by entering Chicago politics ... attracting the attention of Alicia and Eli (Julianna Margulies and Alan Cumming).

Also preparing for his Broadway directing debut with next spring’s musical It Shoulda Been You, Tony Award recipient Pierce confirms a big reason for his Good Wife involvement is that “it shoots in New York, and that is very appealing. I remember when we were doing Frasier, the casting director and the producers had a big attraction to bringing in New York theater actors.

“It was always about what they brought to playing the scenes more than just name recognition, and that’s what I’m loving about this show,” adds Pierce.

“The core actors are all so fine, many of them — like Alan, Julianna, Christine Baranski and Chris Noth — with solid grounding in the theater. Maybe I’m prejudiced, but I think that says something about why they’re so good. And at the simplest level, these

people are my friends, so it’s a group I wanted to hang out with.”

Discovering his Good Wife character as he films is “a lot of fun,” Pierce claims. “It forces you to let go and just trust the writing, trust your fellow actors and trust your instincts. It’s a kind of television that’s new for me, and I’m really enjoying it.”

Though his Niles portrayal remains on view in Frasier repeats, Pierce feels enough time has passed for him to build a new home-screen image.

“I’ve been away from acting the character for so long, maybe the mannerisms and voice patterns have faded away. Also, it’s 10 years since we finished the show, but it’s been 20 years or more since we started it ... so I’m significantly older than in those reruns people keep seeing. That’s a little depressing, but it helps.”

David Hyde Pierce begins a recurring role on The Good Wife Sunday on CBS.

The objective is to fill the full 9x9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3x3 “sub-grids” that compose the main grid contains all of the digits from 1 to 9 – with no repeats within each row or column within the entire square. A partially completed grid is usually provided, which typically has a unique solution. See next weeks Limin’ Times issue for solution.
