One Year Later Personally I feel after Irmaria they should just throw away the month of September but such is life. Looking back, you can’t help but to give God praises. Most of us lost everything but we all have life and to me that is what counts. I remember immediate after the storm how everyone looked out for one another. If you didn’t have you got and if you had to spare you give. The thing that is more exciting to see is the rebuilding. Although some may argue that it’s a little on the slow side what’s important is that business are open, persons still have their jobs, the economy is rebounding and tourist are coming back. After that kind of devastation, I think we all rock for taking up the pieces and going forward. Today (Thursday) marks one-year anniversary since Hurricane Irma and there are a few venues commemorating the date. If you want to celebrate warmly, there is a Service of Thanksgiving, Reflection and Restoration at the Central Administration Com-

plex beginning at 4pm today. The event is sure to be spiritually uplifting with prayers from Peter D’Abreau from the Assemblies of God Cornerstone School and Bishop Dr. David Bryan, plus a message from Howard Simon of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. There will also be reflections by Governor Gus Jaspert, Premier Dr. Orlando Smith, and Opposition Leader Andrew Fahie. The program features several artistic performances as well, including a pantomime by the dancers of New Life Church, a reflection poem written by Kedrick Malone and read by Zoe Walcott, and an original song by Tracia “Tracee” Petersen. Attendees can also get a look at a new plaque to commemorate Irma’s passing, and view artwork by students from the Youth Empowerment Program. Also today there is a thanksgiving service under the theme “A September to Remember” at the Capoons Bay Recreation Field at 5pm.

The thing that sticks out in my mind the most about the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Irma is how grateful we all were. Many of us had our belongings and homes destroyed, our livelihoods thrown into chaos, and had only the most rudimentary shelters for ourselves and our families. And yet, despite all the destruction, the territory was blessed with very few deaths and injuries. And so, as you would walk around, some folks in clothing they had scavenged or borrowed from friends and neighbors, the thing you would hear over and was “I’m still here,” or “We’re still here.” As we mark the first year since Irma, besides being grateful for life, what other lessons should we try to keep with us? I can think of a few. “What do you need?” Especially since I was so close to delivering my son, a lot of folks I ran into wondered what we needed. We were well stocked with the basics, but I was very happy when I mentioned to one acquaintance that my zapper had been zapped in the flooding and the next day she was back on my porch with a brand new one. And as we needed things, we also encountered people who needed things that we could spare. I remember passLimin’Times Entertainment Gude

ing along some dry sneakers to one friend who’d left her home in sandals and non-perishable food with others. “How can we share?” Another warm memory comes from thinking about my wonderful neighbors, who wound up caring for one another quite well in the storm’s aftermath. One had a fridge full of meat, while another had an undamaged gas connection, and we all ate well. When one neighbor had a chance to get a full phone charge, he passed it along for the rest of us to use. Another neighbor had a working vehicle with a flat tire. No problem, we just pulled the spare tire off a jeep with a flooded engine. As I was very pregnant and couldn’t do any heavy lifting, I became the driver, carrying folks to wait in long grocery lines or to catch their evacuation flights. I loved knowing that everyone was doing what they could. “What can we do together?” Similarly, as the news spread of another storm on the way, the group worked together to gather supplies and make sure everyone was as boarded up as they could possibly be. I wound up passing that night in the hospital awaiting my little prince, but it comforted me to know that my husband and the others had fortified the building as best they could and they would help each other if the worst would happen again.

Based on a true story, this is the award winning movie about the Lovings, a couple that changed the course of United States history when they got married in 1958, a time when marriages between white people and people of color were illegal in many US states. Richard (Joel Edgerton) and Mildred (Ruth Negga) met in a small and relatively integrated town in Virginia, and, when Mildred fell pregnant, they decided to travel to Washington, DC to be married. Back home and closer to the birth of the baby, the couple is rudely awakened by Virginia police, who arrest the pair and say that their marriage is not legal in their home state. Richard is bailed out quickly but isn’t allowed to post bail for his wife. When it’s time to face the judge Monday morning, the Lovings are sentenced to one year in prison, but the judge says he will suspend their sentence if they agree to leave the state and not return for at least 25 years. It’s not much of a choice at all, and the pair head back to Washington, DC. As Mildred’s labor grows closer, the couple sneaks back to Virginia so that she can give birth with the help of Richard’s mother, who is a midwife. Not long after the baby is born, the couple again is arrested and again faces the judge. This time, he lets them off when their 11

lawyer tells the judge that the couple returned to the state on his advice. Once again, they return to DC. The movie follows along as the family grows from three to five members, and we see Mildred’s dissatisfaction with both city life and her family’s banishment as, around the US, the civil rights movement gains steam. She decides to write a letter to Attorney General Robert F Kennedy, who, in turn, refers the matter to the American Civil Liberties Union. Although she had been hoping for such help, Mildred is surprised to get a call from ACLU attorney Bernard Cohen(Nick Kroll). The Lovings meet with the attorney, who explains they will have to be re-arrested before the case can be challenged in Virginia’s state supreme court. He also explains that there is a good chance the case will go to the US Supreme Court. Richard doesn’t want to put his wife at risk of more jail time, but after one of their children is involved in a minor car accident, Mildred insists they go back to Virginia, even though this means they will be outlaws. Between wonderful performances by both Edgerton and Negga, pacing that comfortably matches the family’s life, and seeing the family drama behind the history-making case, this a satisfying watch.

Dear Diary Monday

Today was a long stressful day at work. First of all, that idiot Ben prepared the wrong presentation files so I ended up looking like a fool in front of the boss. I spent the rest of day fuming over my files and creating a killer presentation for tomorrow’s meeting. I guess it’s true what people say: if you want the job done right, do it yourself. It was very important that I don’t screw up again because this meeting will decide if I get a new position at work or not. After work I went to check on my mom’s house and made sure it was still secured since she is out of town until Wednesday, and then I stopped by the grocery store and got a few items for dinner. I saw Sandy while I was there. Can you believe the nerve of her to try to engage in a friendly conversation after the stunt she pulled couple months ago? I won’t be forgiving her soon. I still can’t figure out what Wha-He-Name saw in her in the first place. In case you couldn’t tell, I still can’t stand him and plan never to scribble his name in you again. Guess what never happened? Dinner. I ended up up sitting on the couch and dropped sleep. When I got up it was 10:30! I packed away the groceries, thank God there was nothing to melt or sour so fast. I grabbed my ice cream tin out of the freezer and a spoon, secured downstairs and headed up to my room. Limin’Times Entertainment Gude

By time I was finished preparing my attire for work tomorrow, I remembered I had a cell phone. Good thing I don’t have any kids or a sick parent the way I neglect my cell. After seeing that I had few messages from Tim throughout the day I messaged him back apologizing for not answering and asked him if I can give him a ring. After we said our greetings, I told Tim about my crazy day at work and he filled me in on his. I never laughed so hard in my life. He told me all about the drama with his coworker, who was visited on the job by both girlfriends at the same time. Apparently they both wanted to beat him. If that wasn’t hilarious enough, he said he went skating down the stairs in front of his clients. When he got up he told them they should try it because it beats walking down all those stairs. They all got a good laugh but his behind is still sore. I could never be such a good sport, I would have been so embarrassed that they would’ve had to call 911 to get me up. Oh before I put you down I must tell you that Tim and I decided to meet up for lunch tomorrow. As soon as I we were off the phone I threw my outfit back up in the closet and took out a red business dress I’ve had for a while but have been too scared to wear. 12

Time is Running Out Dear Koren, I woke up panicking. I am going to be 35 years old in a month’s time and my boyfriend who I have been having a good time dating for three years, has not offered an engagement or marriage. With 35 looming, I just realized that I should at least be talking about settling down. Do I bring it up or is he supposed to? Should there be an ultimatum? I am almost 35 with no children and hoping to get one still. – Panicking Girlfriend Dear Panicky Girlfriend, Let’s reframe your question: If you had a goal of running a marathon, would you go along as you please, then wake up a month before the race and want to get ready for it? If your goal was to be married or settled down by 35 and have a child, then you should have been working on that already. At least the gentleman in question should have known what he was signing up for and that you have a deadline in mind. Bringing this up to him now with an expectation of instant results might be a bit of a shock to him, so please go easy on him. Men have heard about women’s biological clocks but until it throws them to the ground and sits on them, it seems like something other women deal with and not their fun-loving partner. Your desire to get married and have a child is a normal and good one, so don’t be afraid to bring up 13

the topic with your boyfriend. The only problem is the urgency and suddenness of your timing. I think you would get better results if you approach the conversation cautiously: let him know what you would like to happen rather than what is “supposed to be” happening. Understandably, you can’t get these things on your own but you also don’t want him to feel as though you only need him to do his manly part; it is not a paid job. You are partners and he has a right to decide if this is also what he wants and whether the timing suits him. You both were having a good time and just because you had a wake up call doesn’t mean this will instantly become a matter of urgency or priority for him, especially if it never came up before. So no ultimatums please. I also want to encourage you to spend some time looking at the other areas of your life too. A marriage and child are good goals but to be happy and well rounded, it takes more. It is important that you are satisfied with who you are or are becoming and find fulfillment in other areas of your life. Sometimes we put all our eggs into one basket and then that basket bursts or leaks we are left with nothing. So talk to your partner to ensure that you both are on the same page, and try not to put too much pressure on him. Plenty of people start families later in these days, and you may wind up being that couple. At the same time, there are no guarantees in life. Pay attention to your total self to ensure lasting happiness. Vol. 30, 22 / Sep 6 - Sep 12, 2018

Pickering, Eagles eyeing NCAA Volleyball Tourney Sharonda Pickering and the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles team she joined last year are seeking to advance to the NCAA Division I Tournament this year. For the last three years, the Eagles have finished second in the Atlantic Sun Conference and looked on as the conference champs got the automatic invitation to the NCAA tournament. In an attempt to reverse their fortunes, the Eagles spent part of the summer on a five-country, 11-day tour of Europe and played in six games, as they tried to bond. After competing in the New Mexico Lobo’s Volleyball Classic over the weekend, the Eagles sport a 4-2 record, ahead of getting into conference play later on. This weekend they will play in the Homewood Suites Fort Meyers/FGCU Classic. The Eagles opened the season with a 25-20, 2624 and 26-24 victory over Florida Atlantic, improving to 9-6 in season openers. They fell to Central Florida in their next game, 15-25, 25-14, 21-25 and 16-25. Pickering finished with four kills and three blocks. Pickering added another three blocks to her season tally, during the Eagles’ 25-20, 25-18 and 25-22 win over the Miami Hurricanes. During the Lobo Classic kickoff, they were a straight set winner over New Mexico State, 25-20, 25-12 and 25-22. Pickering led the team with nine

kills and tied two other teammates with five blocks. The Eagles fell to New Mexico, 23-25, 25-10, 2325 and 25-18. Pickering, a 6’2” senior, registered another three blocks. The Eagles improved to 4-2, with a straight set 25-20, 25-10 and 25-23 triumph over Eastern Kentucky. Pickering held her three blocks average. “The season is going great for me,” the middle blocker said. “Last year, it started off a bit difficult joining a new set of girls and new plays. It takes a while to get into rhythm with setters and everyone else. I think this year, I’ve found that rhythm and it is working well with our team and against our opponents.” Pickering said the summer trip to Europe has helped the team tremendously, as the team only has a few freshmen, they are learning the style of volleyball and they are able to maintain a higher level of volleyball compared with last season. With a NCAA Jr. College Volleyball Championships medal on her stat sheet, Pickering said it would mean a lot for the Eagles to advance to the NCAA Tournament as she ends her collegiate career. “Last year, we were so close, but this year being my last year, it would be exciting to play against the best of the best,” Pickering said.
