ILL Mindz

By now you should know about the recording duo ILL Mindz. If you’re not sure who they are, I can refresh your memory.

You know the hit track Day 1 After Irma? Yep, that’s them.

The recording duo consists of members Keemz and Soul, who were both born and raised in the British Virgin Islands. The pair were pursuing music separately but united to form the group Ill Mindz after they discovered each others’ talent and shared vision of creating good, positive and uplifting music.

With the assistance of artist management firm Black Sage Management, ILL Mindz have been entertaining audiences for little over a year. Their first single “Find Our Way” was released in the early part of 2017 and a string of singles followed after.

When the group is not entertaining you can find them perfecting their craft or on the basketball court. They are also involved in numerous community outreach activities and recently donated a muchneeded microwave to the faculty and students of the Willard Wheatley Primary School.

Limin’Times Entertainment Guide

The duo is currently focusing on establishing and expanding their brand within the music industry while continuing to spread uplifting messages. They are gearing up to release another single from their current mixtape and head back into the studios to bless us with an album.

ILL Mindz’s music is a cohesive blend of hard-spitting poetic lyrics similar to that of the legendary Tupac Shakur with a touch of smooth emotional ballads. All this is unfused with a creative modern sound which the duo continues to refine.

Their current mixtape “ILLegal Intent” was accompanied by an album release party which featured various local artist in the Virgin Islands. Various singles and videos for tracks of the mixtape have been released including “Save me” and “Close your Eyez”. The group’s latest release, a single called “Get High” has received great reviews so far within the region and continues to gain momentum.

Lets Wine About It Did you know that physical therapy can be good for those who have or have had cancer?

In honor of Cancer Awareness Month, this month Therapy Works desires to bring awareness about the benefits of physical therapy for recovering cancer patients, those in treatment and those who have survived cancer and are rehabilitating their lives. Physical therapists are skilled healthcare providers who can help you achieve your goals and restore function.

A cancer diagnosis of any sort is a life-altering occurrence that affects many lives, women and men alike. After an initial diagnosis, myriad treatment options exist, including chemotherapy drugs, radiation and surgical interventions. Unfortunately, cancer and its treatments can have long-lasting effects, even after a patient has achieved remission. Fatigue, muscle and joint stiffness are just a few results of some of those effects. Physical Therapy can help!

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.

Center, Journey’s Spa, and Penn Medical Center, also believe mental health and stability is just as important when coping with a diagnosis and addressing family members. On Saturday, they will be hosting ‘Lets wine about it’ a Cancer Awareness Month event.

Enjoy a glass of wine while learning about topics such as care for the cancer patient, mental health for the family and, of course, physical therapy benefits like restoring function and mobility before and after treatment. Also enjoy other refreshments, free PT screenings for function and pain, specials on spa services and consultations with a healthcare specialist.

The event takes place at Therapy Works BVI, Tortola Pier Park from 5-7:30pm and is free to attend. Presenters are Physician Dr. Mitchel Penn, Clinical Psychologist Dr. Michael Turnbull, Oncologist Dr. Erole Hobdy, and Physical Therapist Dr. Janel Springer.

Vol. 30, 29 / Oct 25 - Oct 31, 2018

One of the most fun things I have ever gotten to do as a wife was to introduce my island husband to the way that Californians celebrate Halloween, which is, at least where I grew up, a holiday for families. When I noticed that our friends over at the Tortola Pier Park were hosting a Trick or Treat, I figured it’s a good time to share what a kid-friendly Halloween looks like, just in case any of our readers have, like him, mostly understood Halloween as a series of horror movies and various other things even more sinister than Mike Meyers before now.

First off, it’s all about dressing up.

Although you may see some monsters and ghosties, family style Halloween is definitely not about frights. Instead, the costumes are much more about giving kids a chance to play pretend and use their imaginations, so expect to see at least as many princesses and superheroes as villains and vampires. I don’t know how many parents will join their kids in the fun this weekend, but in my old neighborhood it was common to see adults dressed up, often in outfits to coordinate with the ones worn by their kids. So, if a daughter was dressing up as Elsa from Frozen, she might be lucky and convince her dad to don antlers and be Sven. Personally, I am hoping to see some family costumes.

Maybe, since the BVI is such a popular sailing destination, some family might Limin’Times Entertainment Guide

all dress up as pirates.

Family Halloween also has an element of social training. Having the kids say “trick or treat” is a way for them to practice speaking to adults, even strangers. The fact that there is a candy reward after they speak is a good motivator, even for shy children.

Then of course, they all say “thank you” for the candy. Back home, trick or treating is generally done around a neighborhood, so it’s a good opportunity for the children to meet some of their neighbors, and for the all the homeowners, not just the parents, to get to know some of the kids who live in the neighborhood.

Finally, family Halloween is about hanging out as a family! You share candy, you get to watch the little ones react to all the different outfits, and you get to go home at the end of the night knowing you made some really cool memories that your kid will look back on fondly.

Fingers crossed, the Limin Times mom crew will be trick or treating with our kids this weekend.

If you’d like to join us, the fun happens Saturday the 27th at 4:30 pm beginning at Just Be You Fashions in Building 6.

For those who don’t have early bedtimes, stick around for the showing of Hotel Transylvania 3, which begins at 6.

Light, Camera, Action; Part 2 Chapter 14: The More Things Change

Pierre Ever since my talk with Bella a few days ago, I couldn’t get her off my mind. I wanted to hate her so badly, but I was too much in love with her to let my anger get the best of me. I told no one what had happened and I didn’t plan on it, at least not yet.

I didn’t know if we would get back together, be friends or maybe even enemies. I was certain that I wanted to know her story. Although she gave me a basic picture, I felt myself wanting more details. One thing was for sure, even if we end up together, the question of a family must come up.

I’ve always wanted kids, my own kids. If everything is working physically, why should I have to adopt?

I still can’t get over how she looks, operates and feels like a woman. There was no sign that she could ever have been anything else. I guess her doctor is really good.

Jazzy So Ms. Bella think she can keep secrets from me huh, I was going right over there to get the juice on lover boy being there. I saw his vehicle there all day and I just saw when it left last night. After breakfast I marched straight over using my key to get in.

I found her on the back porch with a glass of wine in her hand and staring into space. When I got her attention, I went straight at what I wanted to Limin’Times Entertainment Guide

know. Why was Pierre back in the picture when the last thing I heard, he is crazy.

Then I realized that Bella was crying. I drop all my noisiness to comfort my friend.

Kevin After Jazz’s arrest a few months ago, my wife told me she’d had enough of my infidelity. She threatened to leave me because of my connection to Jazz. She didn’t want to be affiliated with any of it.

I begged her not to leave and even agreed to marriage counseling. Truth is, my wife and I have been together for nearly two decades. Sure, we may not have real love in our home, but there were perks of being married to her. She was a very well connected woman and I’ve gotten used to the perks, and especially the money, that she brings to my life.

Every now and again I would text Jazz, but we haven’t been together in months. I’d like to see her but didn’t follow through with it in case my wife got to smart enough to hire a detective to follow me around.

I was still keeping tabs on Jazz though. Every now and again I would drive past her house or her job to watch her movements. I never saw old dude she was sleeping with when she got pregnant so I thought that was a plus.

Coraline It’s a movie with a message that isn’t preachy; it’s creepy, but not horror; it’s animated, but not silly. Basically, Coraline is a movie that hits me like Goldilocks’ porridge – it’s just right.

Based on a novella by fantasy author Neil Gaiman and directed by Henry Selick (Nightmare Before Christmas), this stop-motion movie tells the story of a young girl who is struggling to cope with her family’s recent move. Coraline Jones (voiced by Dakota Fanning) plays outside on a dreary day for the opening scene. She introduces herself to a new neighbor, Wybie. After Coraline is a bit snippy with him, Wybie informs her that she’s been handling a branch of poison oak.

It’s a reflection of how Coraline is feeling: She just wants to play and enjoy her young life, but things seem to be against her. At home, her folks (voiced by Teri Hatcher and John Hodgeman) refuse to let her do whatever she wants and insist that she follows rules. Plus, they have the gall to work instead of constantly doting on her. The nerve of them! (Can you tell I identified with the parents in this one?)

When Wybie gives Coraline a button-eyed doll that looks just like her, she doesn’t think it’s that 13

strange. What is strange is the way the doll leads her to a secret door in her own house. On the other side of the door, Coraline is surprised to meet her mother preparing a special meal, except Mother now has button eyes.

It turns out, Coraline has found her way into Other World, where Other Mother and Other Father live. They have Other neighbors and friends that are button-eyed versions of people familiar to Coraline. That evening in Other World, Coraline is doted on and made to feel special, but when she wakes up, it’s back in the regular world.

Neighbors back in the dreary regular world issue mysterious warnings about missing family members that Coraline must know are about Other World, but she returns there three more nights. After a few nights of fun, Coraline gets an offer to stay in Other World permanently, but suddenly Other Mother isn’t looking so friendly. What’s more, if Coraline stays, she will have to pay a terrible price.

Why are the Others so eager to keep Coraline with them, and what are they hiding from her behind their sugary sweet facades?

Coraline is available on Netflix, iTunes and other streaming services.

Note for parents: Although this movie would be fine for older kids, it will probably scare younger or more sensitive little ones.

Bayside Blazers Win Second Crown An injury to Pure Playaz’s star player Ray Victor just 55 seconds into the third quarter of Friday’s opening game of the Hon. Julian Fraser Save The Seed Basketball League when he collided with Bayside Blazers’ Dione Blyden changed the tone of the series.

Victor had amassed a game-high 30 points and seven rebounds before he was injured. Bayside Blazers overcame the deficit to win the the opener, 95-86. Placed on crutches after his injury, Victor wouldn’t play another match in the series.

“It’s one of those things that’s bittersweet. As competitors, you want make sure you play against the best possible opponent. This year we didn’t get to do that, but it’s still good for us,” Bayside Blazers’ coach Rhennie Phipps said after they beat Pure Playaz, 105-89 to sweep the series. “Winning a championship is always a good thing. I’m proud of my guys, really proud of my guys.”

Bayside Blazers had their first title in the fiveyear-old league back in 2014. This win makes them league’s first team to take the championship’s a second time.

Phipps said that besides Victor, who had carried the team throughout the season, being out, Romain Minott was also out with an injury. Their absences

Limin’Times Entertainment Guide

were just one factor in the series, he said.

“It would have made it more difficult for us,” Phillip said. “But I think we still had the better team.”

Tavon Phillip, who had a 23 points 12 rebounds double-double in the opener, led the Bayside Blazers with a game-high 40 points and seven rebounds in the title game.

Blyden followed up with 19 points, eight rebounds and four assists, after dropping 17, with seven rebounds and five assists on Friday.

Championships MVP Anthony Keane added 17 points, seven assists and four rebounds, after pouring in a 19 points 10 boards double double on Friday.

Keane also recorded seven steals and six assists.

Romain Minott led Pure Playaz with 25 points and pulled 10 off the rack. He also finished with five steals and three assists, a night after dropping 22 points and snatching 12 boards behind 55 seconds into the third quarter.

Dwayne Stoutt contributed another 19 points.

“Winning the championship once is tough. Winning it twice is a blessing,” Phipps stated. “Ain’t everybody can get here, so it’s a good thing.”

In the Junior Division, Jr. Bayside Blazers took home the title when Young Stars failed to show for their games.

How to win: The object is to insert numbers in the boxes to satisfy only one condition: each row, column and 3x3 box must contain the digits 1 through 9 exactly once.

It’s harder than it sounds!
