2 TWiB . April 2014
Axis Adrenaline Projects has always been about the next generation and pushing them to push themselves. Having my own children was no doubt the inspiration for this. That being said, putting my kids out there on the boards was totally their decision. I always joked that I would do it from day one, but when it comes down to it, they are going to decide if and when. All I could do was show them how much fun it could be... so I did that. Now, ironically, they are returning the favor. I’m not saying that these sports (wakeboarding/ wakesurfing/skiing) are Photo By Jevaughn Simons everyone’s cup of tea, but, you would be amazed at who can shine when given the right push. I have a few clients who really wowed me last year. I call them “The Sleepers”. The kids who “appear” quiet and reserved, then they get on a board and tear it up behind the boat! On the other hand, you have the high energy, bouncing off the walls kid. Give them focus and a challenge... It’s crazy what they can do. Yes, it is physically demanding but would you believe that it is equally about state of mind? You need to be able to tell yourself you can when your body or mind say otherwise. But really... Are these not things that we should be teaching our kids anyways? Being out there gives us all a chance to see what our inner child is truly capable of. “Go Play Outside” For charter rates and camp packages please contact: John “Bravo” Martin, (441) 537-1114 bravobda@gmail.com or www.axisbermuda.com

Pretty in Pastels
Easter Yellow @TABS_bda with navy Add a playful edge to your ensemble blazer and tie from A.S Cooper today with this fun magazine print clutch from 27th Century Boutique
This Spring is all about melt-in-your-mouth pastels. The best thing about the pastel trend? You can pick your most-flattering color and wear it with whatever silhouette flatters you! Sisley has tasty macaroon hues in and Loveit Boutique has girly, floaty summer dresses in on trend colours like mint green and baby blue. Mint green looks delicious with bright red accents. So throw on your red lipstick and accessories to add a ladylike, vintage feel to your look. Speaking of vintage, check out Dolly Pop’s pop-up stores and events for thrifty inspiration. Layers of candy colours can be fun, but they can run the risk of looking too much like a double dip. A beige layer or nude accessories will tone down the sugar factory while staying in tune with the trend. Funk it up with some chunky jewelry or a smattering of studs, just be sure to keep the hardware all one tone. For the more adventurous, add a touch of electric neon to add a playful edge to your ensemble. French Connection has some lush dresses that play to this trend and Lusso has some awesome neon ballet pumps.
Delicious pastel ballet shoes are a Playful pairing of coral tee and great way to play with this seasons patterned pastel mini from Sisley. trend of macaroon hues and neons. From Lusso

Hello From The B.T.A.
Message From Bill Hanbury, CEO Bermuda Tourism Authority Dear TWIB readers, I am pleased to report that the transition from the Bermuda Department of Tourism to the Bermuda Tourism Authority (BTA) was completed on March 31 and the Bermuda Tourism Authority is now fully functioning. We already have about 20 team members on board across the enterprise and our Chief Operating Officer has started on a part-time basis and will fully transition to the BTA in April, along with the Chief Product and Experience Development Officer. The BTA is in the middle of selecting a new public relations firm to represent us in North America and, following an extensive RFP process, we expect to make that announcement very shortly. We believe that strong and capable PR and advertising partners are going to be key to our success going forward, with a particular emphasis on digital communications. Over the next few months we will be working with the companies and individuals that have been selected for event/experience investment. We received some excellent submissions with creative ideas and we look forward to assisting in bringing some of these to fruition. Golf is a key element in the future of the tourism industry as we believe golfers are a logical choice to fill Bermuda’s hotel rooms during the off-season, which is one of the significant objectives of the BTA. Our golf expert is working on changes in the golf structure in Bermuda, while also selling Bermuda as a golf destination with more golf courses per square mile than anywhere else in the world. We are also busy fitting out our new office space at 22 Church Street, which we hope to move into during April. It’s exciting times at the BTA. We’re building a modern and leading tourism enterprise focused on long-term goals of revitalising Bermuda’s tourism product and implementing the National Tourism Plan. It’s not going to happen overnight and it’s going to require hard work from everyone. We must compete, we must reduce seasonality and we must identify opportunities. Bermuda’s tourism success is about all of us and we hope that as you hear more about our plans, you’ll be as excited as we are about the future.

Cancer Never Sleeps So For 24 Hours We Won’t Either! By Darlene McCarthy Barnfield
Purple tee shirts are popping up all over the island sporting a play on the popular British World War II phrase and asking everyone to “Keep Calm and Register Now” for a premier event coming to the island next month. Bermuda’s first: RELAY FOR LIFE event will be held on May 30th from 6 pm to May 31st 6 pm where participants in teams will take turns walking for 24 hours at the North Field, National Sports Centre in a show of defiance against the disease and in support of those who are fighting it. There will be time to Remember those who have lost their battle, Celebrate those who have survived and Fight Back in the epic battle against cancer. Come and join the fun: Gather 10 or more of your friends and colleagues, think of a good name and register your Team now! www.bermudaRELAY.com or team@relayforlife-bermuda.org or stop by Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre on Point Finger Road. Sign up by 30th April for a free Team Cooler! In typical Bermudian spirit we have always lent a helping hand in familiar ways like shouting out the car window to someone who is walking by and asking, “Hey, do you need a ride?” But this is something much bigger. Fundraising will be in support of Bermuda Cancer and Health’s mission to raise awareness and funds to support cancer prevention, detection and treatment in the fight against cancer.

Art Matters
BY Roger Crombie
By Lisa Howie, Director, Bermuda National Gallery
As Naked As A Jaybird
Representations: A Dialogue in Art
I’ve just hired two young women to clean my house. Being very aged, I cannot reach into the far corners where dirt accumulates. That’s my excuse. These women will not be my first employees: I had a cleaning lady in Bermuda who was among the most down-to-earth and sensible people I’ve ever met. Letting someone into your house to clean for you is to reveal your innermost secrets. Luckily, I live a blameless existence, in which no one who spent a year going through my affairs molecule by molecule could find anything even remotely incriminating (plus or minus five percent). That said, my innate dullness can be depressing. Helpmeet, staff, equerries (or whatever one calls such people) always seemed rather out of my league. If I ever gave it any thought to the idea at all, I imagined my home would have looked a lot like Hugh Hefner’s house, only with much more depravity. I’ve always hankered after a spot of depravity. Sadly, it’s total pravity ‘round my place. My Bermudian cleaning lady — let’s call her Violet — was a woman of a certain age. Everyone, of course, is of a certain age except those who have lost their birth certificates. Violet was probably in her late 50s at the time. I didn’t force her to do the work; she volunteered after coming by one day and being somewhat appalled by the squalor. At the time, I was working 18 hours a day in Hamilton. Every Friday evening, after Violet’s ministrations, I would come home to find my house sparkling. Perfect. From one week to the next, I never actually saw Violet. I left her fee in an envelope, and she left the envelope … until one particular Friday, when I had to pop home in the afternoon to collect some documents I’d left behind the night before. Bermuda, as you may have heard, can be quite warm and humid. These are not ideal conditions in which to do housework. Of course, no conditions are ideal for doing housework except having someone to do it for you, but I digress. I breezed into the cottage, the door always being left open (imagine that, kiddies), and wandered into the kitchen to see if I’d left the documents there. I’d forgotten it was Friday. I was confronted by an ear-shattering shriek, and then the sight of Violet — how can I put this delicately? — as naked as a jaybird. It seems that, in the heat of the day, she preferred working au naturel. Violet was always outspoken. Whatever the subject, she always had something forthright to say. Except this time. Talk about depravity. Being English, I’m easily embarrassed. Being Bermudian and naked, so was she. I turned on my heels and left without saying a word. In all the years that followed, neither of us ever mentioned that day. I didn’t even mention it to her husband when our paths crossed, thus proving the age-old saying that discretion is the better part of depravity.

Cornelis de Vos Flemish Portrait of a Lady, c.161040 oil on panel 473/4” x 36” Collection of the Government of Bermuda The Hon. Hereward T. Watlington Bequest
Lucas Cranach, the Elder German Venus and Cupid (The Honey Thief), c. 1540 oil on panel 18 3/4” x 13” On long term loan to the Bermuda National Gallery from a Private Collection
Antoine A.R. Hunt Bermudian Pickled 2, 2009 toned and tinted cyanotype on paper 45” x 30” Collection of Bermuda National Gallery Gift of the artist
In the current exhibition, Highlights of the BNG Collection, the artwork has been clustered by three themes in three spaces. In the Watlington Room the theme of Representations connects artwork that provide a portrayal or likeness of someone. Curator Sophie Cressall has purposefully arranged the artwork outside of the museum norm, unbound by time periods, mediums or cultures. For example, realistic 18th century European paintings hang alongside traditional West African masks, which are next to modern photographs and etchings. Arranged like this, the artwork encourages a new ‘reading’, inviting the viewer to see the work again with a new perspective. Cressall says of the layout, “It is the space in between the works that is also interesting.” In one area, a morally instructive painting of Venus and Cupid (c. 1540) by German Renaissance painter Lucas Cranach the Elder is presented beside a cyanotype entitled Pickled 2 (2009), of a nude woman in a jar, by Bermudian photographer Antoine Hunt. On the adjacent wall hangs Portrait of a Lady (c.1610-40) by Flemish artist Cornelis de Vos in which the sitter wears a high ruff collar, fine clothing and jewelry. Situated like this, the artworks instigate a new dialogue. A viewer might ask: In what ways are these female figures entrapped? In another pairing, satire is the device that links two etchings: No. 42 from the series Los Caprichos (Whims) (c.1795) by Spanish artist Francisco Goya and Spinning a Yarn (1930) by American artist Albert Alexander Smith. Both artists comment on certain cultural stereotypes in inventive ways by using exaggeration and symbolism. Perhaps the space in between the artworks lends to the conversation on the artist’s role in political commentary. In what ways does art further dialogue on social issues? Join us at the BNG in City Hall to explore more of artwork in the BNG Collection. Then spend some time with a very different exhibition featuring local artist Michael Walsh. Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer in our TWO locations, in Hamilton and St. George’s. Admission is free. Take away a memento of your experience with a BNG art book: Impressions of Bermuda or Bermuda National Gallery: An Introduction. For more information: www.bng.bm or 295-9428/ 297-9428
The Artist Lexy Correia
With Candice Dickinson
What inspired you to paint this beautiful portrait of Dejon Simons? I had told Dejon I would love to paint his portrait at an art show early in 2013. Shortly after that, I was researching the various portrait societies in the world and came across The Royal Society of Portrait Painters annual exhibit/competition and noticed there was a category called Changing Faces. Even though the award goes to creating a new commission, it was like a weird sign to me, to paint Dejon for this show. What mediums and techniques, process did you go through from start to finish. I use mischetechnik (www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mischtechnik) an old Masters technique using egg tempera and oil paints. I’m getting better at taking progress pictures which I do post on my website (www.artoflexy.com/Lexy/gallery-4-my-process.html)
How long did you spend on this painting? I like to tell people it took me x amount of hours and twenty years, as the years of learning and working at my techniques are what allows me to get a painting done in a shorter time frame than it would have years ago. I did paint this over the course of five months but, I didn’t work on it daily as the first two layers take some time to dry. Two weeks before the deadline though, I was working nightly and on my day off on Sunday for a few hours. I cannot say for sure how many hours I spent on this. I can estimate at least sixty hours, probably more. What was the process of submitting this portrait to the Royal Society of Portrait Painters Open Exhibit. Lucky for me, and many other international artists, a few years ago they added pre-selection by online entry. This allows us to enter the exhibit/competition without the expense of framing and shipping, only to be rejected. This was a deciding factor for me to even enter the competition because I definitely couldn’t afford to frame and ship the painting with that kind of risk. How did you feel when you found out you were accepted? Funny story there. Since this was my first time entering, I THOUGHT I knew where the results would be on the website. I had received the e-mail stating that the results were up and to log into my account to
see if I was accepted. I logged in, took a deep breathe and I went to that spot and there wasn’t any checked boxes. What a let down! My husband said maybe they weren’t all uploaded yet and I questioned why would they send out the e-mail if they weren’t. So, I refreshed on and off for 45 minutes. I finally went back and read the fine print and was getting totally frustrated and anxious. I did read some VERY fine print that the final announcement on 13 of March will be on my home page and on the website. So, I went back to my home page and looked over it with a fine tooth comb. They list every available competition you can enter and I scrolled through those and saw one mentioning the Portrait Exhibit and click here. So, I clicked it. It did state at the top that my painting was accepted but, after the 1 1/2 hours of looking around, I disregarded it as talking about my entry, not my painting. So, I scrolled down further and sure enough, it said, the following painting has been accepted: ‘The Phoenix’ and then there were labels and such that must now be printed. I was in shock and THRILLED! I then had to keep a straight face to tell my husband the news. He thought the way I was telling it I wasn’t accepted until, of course, I jumped up and down screaming “I made it, I got in!” Then there were tears. I then shouted it all over Facebook and honestly, have been overwhelmed with the response since then. I was totally burnt out on adrenaline that first day. It was just an amazing moment for me. Where will the painting be displayed? The painting had been on display for just over a week at 129 Front St. It will next be displayed, as long as it makes the final cut, in London from 7 May - 23 May. After that, we’re hoping it will come home again as there’s been interest locally in purchasing the painting. Everything is up in the air right now so I can’t say when and if it will be on display again publicly in Bermuda at the moment. What’s on your agenda next? I actually have two huge shows planned. The first one will be in 2016. I don’t want to give up too many details as it’s a totally unique idea I have been wanting to do for a while. It’s a solo show and a collaboration at the same time. Essentially, I’ve approached a few other local artists and they are creating items for me to paint into my paintings and those items will also be on display and for sale at the show. I can tell you besides some of the jewellery and accessories for that show, the main thing will be the four biggest paintings I will have done to date. They will be 48” x 72” portraits of four local performing and visual artists. The other one will be in 2017 or 2018. Long ways a way and lots of work to do in between then, not only on this show but, on a few other pieces I will be working on, one being for next years Charman Prize 2015. There are many opportunities that arise over time so I just paint until they make themselves known and then I jump on the opportunities. In addition to her big accomplishment of being accepted into the Royal Society of Portrait Painters exhibit Lexy received a congratulatory mention in the House of Assembly on February 28th from Deputy-Speaker, Suzann Roberts-Holshouser and Member of Parliament Jefferson Sousa. Lexy and her husband Dion Correia own Bermuda’s only online and brick & mortar art supplies store, DNA Creative Shoppe located at 129 Front Street in the City of Hamitlon.

Summer’s Coming, Get Ready!
Fragrance of the Month Bermuda Heat
Nonsurgical Treatments
By Willi Lawerence, Dermatology & Skin Care Centre Dr. Romeo & Willi have been offering Thermage since 2004
As summer is on the way with our temperature soaring, it is time to get our faces and bodies looking their best. Thanks to a number of nonsurgical treatments you can maintain that youthful appearance without going under the knife. Whether it is botox the most popular treatment in the world for getting rid of frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet or the newest thermage body tip that can be used on almost any part of the body area to improve skin tightness and texture, we have it here at Dermatology and Skin Centre. We are the only practice in the Caribbean that offers this wonderful FDA approved treatment for the face and body. We live on a island so it is no wonder why many of us have traded in our razors and waxing for a more permanent solution when it comes to hair removal. Now is the time to get started on removing that unwanted hair as it does take multiple treatments. Our IPL treatments with our laser specialist, Shameela Simons R.N. is just the ticket. Call Shameela to get evaluated and get spot tested to see if you are a candidate. Hair must be dark not light to treat. Leg veins is another problem that could be medical or cosmetic or sometimes both. A procedure called sclerotherapy does the trick. It does take more than one treatment spaced three to four weeks apart. We also have a new skin care line by Dr. Zein Obagi. He was the creator of Obagi Nu Derm and has a new line called Zo Health. We carry his medical prescription line that relies on cell turnover by a process known as cellular rejuvenation. It takes about three to four weeks to effectively see the results. This is accomplished through high levels of retinol to keep your skin healthy and youthful. A skin evaluation must be completed by one of our nurses to find products best suited to your skin type. To see if you are a candidate call Ms Lawrence, R.N. 295-9963 or email for a free consultation at botoxwilli@hotmail.com. NOW AVAILABLE Prescription based medical OBAGI (new and improved) Initial consult required for treatment of acne, pigmentation, melasma , solar damage and antiaging with our R.N. skin care specialist, Shameela Simons, R.N.

Bermuda Cedar Gifts Alan makes a number of beautiful gifts using old Bermuda Cedar. He has created a special collection of pens, pencils, wine stoppers, men’s razors and shaving sets and even a coffee scoop! Each piece is carefully hand crafted and special orders including engraving by Bermuda Blueprinting can be requested.

Do It Yourself with Ants are everywhere, and for the most part, they’re beneficial to the natural order of things. But when you experience an ant invasion and their numbers become too large in your yard, garden or home, they can become quite a nuisance.
Get Rid Of Ants Inside & Out!
Keep the ant population under control inside and outside your home with these tips and ideas from Gorham’s.

Stop by Gorham’s Home Centre for the tools, products, and expert advice you need to start right.
Start Outside Controlling ants starts outside because even when they make it into your house, their nests are usually outside, and it’s better to get them before they make it indoors. There are a number of ways to get rid of ants even when they’ve managed to infiltrate your house but you’ll need to go directly to the source. The queen keeps an ant colony running by producing ant after ant. If she is destroyed, the colony soon goes with her. The problem is she usually resides deep in the nest and is difficult to find and eliminate.
Find the source You can usually trace the ants back to their nest by first discovering where they are getting into your home. Check cracks, edges and seams around doors, windows, trim, etc. Follow the trail of ants back to the nest from there, if possible. You might also locate the nest by noting anthills. When you find out where the ants are coming from, there are products available such as Combat Source Kill MAX. These drops will be carried back to the nest. There are also lawn treatments that can be applied to your grass to keep ants as well as other insects at bay for a season.
Devise A Plan Ants that are visible above ground or on your kitchen floor, for example, can be removed a few different ways. One simple method indoors is to vacuum them up along with some talcum/baby powder. If you see an ant convoy making its way in or out of your house, sprinkle talcum/baby powder on them and then vacuum. The powder suffocates them inside the vacuum. If you were to just vacuum them up, they could possibly remain alive inside and make their way out after you think they’re gone for good. There are a number of commercial ant-killing traps, baits and sprays available at Gorham’s Home Centre. Commercial poisonous baits, such as Raid® Ant Baits and Combat® brand baits can kill the queen and colony. These often can be useful if you don’t know where the colony is located. Bait is especially effective because scout and worker ants carry it back to their nest, poisoning the rest of the colony. Sprays are less effective at getting rid of a large invasion because you only kill the ants that you attack with the spray; more are likely to show up later if the rest of the ants from the colony can follow the trail of the first ants. If you aren’t being infiltrated by the whole colony, a spray such as Ortho® Home Defense MAX can get rid of the individual ants encroaching on your kitchen. We also carry organic insect dust and insect killers.
Safety Alert When using a pesticide, carefully read the label and follow all manufacturer instructions. Use it only as directed.

The two best ways to keep ants out of your house is to seal as many entrances that they use as you can, as well as remove the incentive for their invasion by properly sealing food and cleaning up crumbs and other tasty bits that often attract them inside. Seal cracks around doors, windows or anywhere there’s a way for them to get in. Use clear silicone caulk on the exterior walls to create an ant-proof seal. You may not be able to fill every crack, but concentrating on areas around windows and doors will definitely give you a leg up on the invaders. Also, try using house perimeter protection such as Ortho® Home Defense Max spray or granules. This type of product is applied outside around the base of your home to keep insects away for an extended amount of time.
Vacuum Talcum Or Baby Powder Raid® Ant Baits Combat® Brand Baits Terro Ant Killer Silicone Caulk Caulking Gun Ortho® Home Defense Max Spray
Keep food items such as cereal, rice, breads, pet food, etc. in airtight containers. This not only keeps ants from getting in, it also helps keep food fresher for longer.
Airtight Containers
Helpful Tip Try keeping pet food dishes in a larger bowl or dish with a bit of water added to the larger dish or plant tray base to create a “moat.” This will make it more difficult for ants to get to your pet’s food.
Antibacterial Cleaner
Painter Mop
Keep all kitchen surfaces clean as much as possible. Sweep and mop your kitchen floor regularly to keep dirt, grime and especially crumbs off of the floor. When mopping, use an antibacterial floor cleaner or floor steamer. Remember, ant baits won’t work if there are crumbs to distract them and carry back to their nest. Cleaning up also can clear the pheromone trail that worker ants leave for other ants to follow, giving them less of an invitation to try and enter your home. Use a general household antibacterial cleaner to clean tables and counters. Make sure that you do the dishes regularly and keep your sink clean. Ants are attracted to both the food particles on your dirty dishes as well as any standing water in the sink. That’s it! You’re now ready to get rid of the ants that made it in and to keep the rest out for good. For your next DIY project, don’t forget to stop by Gorham’s for the tools, products and expert advice you need to start right.

Heritage Matters A Whale Of A Picture By Dr. Edward Harris, MBE JP
In mid-April 1940, the second last whale caught at Bermuda was towed through Watford Bridge, on its way to Darrell’s Wharf, to the attention of a congregation of some 300 people. Joseph Soares’ boat Tanamakoon (with mounted harpoon gun) is on the right and the crew that made the kill were he, Gunnison Astwood, Arthur Bean, Reggie Pitt, Erskine Simmons (on the whale), Thomas Smith, Granville Wilson and Joshuah Wilson.
This photograph, published as a postcard in 1901, shows the flensing, or cutting off the skin and blubber of a whale at Smith’s Island. Many in the image are waiting to obtain some of the ‘sea beef ’, as whale meat was referred to locally.
Richard Cotter, who visited the Bermuda in the late 1820s, described a gathering that occurred when a whale was captured: ‘the noise and confusion is beyond description, women, and children calling to the operators, who from time to time throw large pieces of the flesh on shore. In a few hours, a whale approaching sixty feet is reduced to a skeleton, and scarcily [sic] a house, whether occupied by whites or Blacks, where a treat of whale beef does not take place that day or the next. The English have a strong prejudice against this food, but the Bermudians have a method of cleansing it, which leaves no fishy flavour, and it is as tender as veal’.
Dr. Aldemaro Romero has written of the whaling industry at Bermuda from first to last, so it may be fitting to let his words end this article, albeit about an end that ended in a hail of bullets: ‘The last taking of a whale in Bermuda took place on 13 November 1942. After an unsuccessful attempt by Joseph Soares to capture what seemed a distressed animal inside the reefs off Duckling Stool in Pembroke, the whale, a 38-foot male humpback, was machine gunned and towed to Darrell’s Wharf in Hamilton Harbour (someone even proposed the use of a plane to dive-bomb the animal). The whale died at 7:00 AM on 18 November.’ Requiescat in pace, oh Leviathan.
The earliest known image (and as such a whale of a picture) of such a congregation is to be found in the Johnson Savage MD Collection in his album of paintings executed here in 1833–36 and recently donated to the National Museum. In that view, which the surgeon for the Royal Artillery at Bermuda drew from a vantage point on Smith’s Island, St. George’s Parish, seven small sloops have congregated around the whale, which is having its skin and blubber removed by a block and tackle on a tall pole, while several rowboats and dozens of people are also evident. On the wooden dock, men are walking around in a circle with a capstan that supplies the power for the hoist; others appear to be cutting up whale meat.
type of congregation at Smith’s Island, but the ladies appear in what might have been ‘Sunday dress’ in all white, a fashion noted accounts of the period.
Edward Cecil Harris, MBE, JP, PHD, FSA is Director of the National Museum at Dockyard. Comments may be made to director@bmm.bm or 704-5480.
On the hill to the right a trio of men are boiling the blubber to extract oil, which was a necessary illuminant before the discovery of petroleum. There were over ten ‘whaling stations’ at Bermuda, but only two apparently had permanent ovens for trying blubber into oil, namely those on Smith’s Island in the east and Whale Island in the west: evidence of the ovens and cast iron trying pots survive in both localities. Remarkably from 65 years later, in a postcard published by the Phoenix Store in 1901, a similar scene was photographed and seems to show the same

Do You Know … About General Russell Hasting and the Bermuda Easter Lilies? By HORST AUGUSTinovic The sixth of eight children, Russell Hastings was born in Greenfield, Massachusetts in 1835. During the American Civil War he became a second lieutenant in the Ohio Volunteer Army. During the battle of Winchester he was severely wounded and nearly died. Next he became adjutant general on the staff of Major General Rutherford Hayes – later to become U.S. President – and at the close of the war he was brevetted brigadier general.
A field of Bermuda Easter Lilies...
In 1865 he was elected to the Ohio Legislature and two years later was appointed U.S. Marshall for the Northern District of Ohio. Having spent Lieutenant Russell C. Hastings a winter in Bermuda due to his poor health, General Hastings and his wife Emily – niece of President Hayes – made Bermuda their permanent home in 1879. In 1883 they bought some 50 acres of land in Point Shares for $8,000 and built their home ‘Soncy’. Before moving to Bermuda General Hastings formed a partnership with a florist in New York and established a business raising Easter lily bulbs for export to the United States. As he cultivated more and more fields in Point Shares, he cultivated around 300,000 Easter Lilies a year, shipping them to New York, England and Holland. In a 1890 New York Times article the writer describes a visit to General Hastings like this: “The best garden that I have seen so far belongs to an American, Gen. Russell C. Hastings, who, after having an ugly encounter with a rifle ball in the late war, came down here and began and developed the then new industry of raising lilies. It is Gen. Hastings who is responsible for the vast quantities of Easter lilies that are now sent every year from Bermuda to New York. He has promised to give a full description of the process of raising and shipping lilies, so I will say no more about that here: but in his private garden where he raises vegetables only for his own table, he showed me things that would excite wonder in a colder climate. Rows of peas ready for the picking, heads of lettuce like cabbages, artichokes, beets, sweet and white potatoes, and all the things that we expect to see in a northern garden in August, green and juicy here in the beginning of February. He has these things ready for the table the year round, he tells me, making new plantings every two weeks. Such a garden as this, in such a climate, and a beautiful house in the midst of a plantation of blooming lilies, with a broad piazza overhanging a sheet of clear water, ought to be enough to make an old soldier happy”. The Hastings had three children – Lucy Webb, Fanny and Russell Platt. Lucy Webb married an Australian surgeon and their daughter Emily was a well-known Bermuda resident – Dr. Emily Liddell. One of the first women doctors in Bermuda, she worked as a public health doctor in the 1940s, studied psychiatry and became a transcendental meditation teacher. She was also the first woman to hold a Bermuda driver’s licence.

Serving Up Success Pierangelo Lanfranchi Harbourfront Restaurant With Candice Dickinson
Many know Pierangelo Lanfranchi as the face of Harbourfront Restaurant and the man behind a gorgeous collection of Bermuda landscape and nature photography. Pierangelo is passionate about everything he does, he is Italian after all. “Passion is in my dna”, says Lanfranchi. His energy is dynamic and alive and he is happy to share it with the world through his many travels across the globe right down to those who join him for an experience to remember and return for over and over again at Harbourfront. Harbourfront is one of Bermuda’s top restaurants, what makes it so successful? At the end of the day what makes a successful restaurant is the team of people and how they work together to ensure the return of every great experience. It is all about synergy. At Harbourfront we need bartenders, bar wait staff, wine wait staff servers, hosts, chefs, cleaners, etc. As a team we need to understand and respect that everyone is as important as each other. With out a good cleaner you can’t run a restaurant, without a good bartender you don’t serve good drinks, without an experienced wine waiter or waitress you don’t serve the right wine. You really need a group of people who are just as good as management. At Harbourfront we are a team and we are all equal. Harbourfront is not just a restaurant it is an experience. This is why we have built a family of regulars. We have dishes named after some of our regulars. Some are on the menu and some only our regulars know about. We have thirty-five staff, thirteen alone are Chefs and about 250 people, more or less, for lunch and dinner most days. Sometimes, we could squeeze in more people, but I don’t like to do that. Our guests know that when they come here to Harbourfront they will not be rushed out and can take their time and enjoy the experince. What feeds your passion to get up everyday and do it all again? My parents owned a small trattoria in northern Italy, in the town of Emilia Romagna, and as a teenager, growing up by Lake Como I worked as a waiter on the weekends. I watched the other waiters and how they approached each customer. I noticed how they organized themselves so that they were able to offer the best service. Today, when I get to work the first thing I do is organize myself. Check my emails, answer them all and hold a staff meeting in the morning and one again in the late afternoon. I am very grateful. I have such a good communication with my team, without good communication, you just can’t offera successful experience to your customers.

Harbourfront is not only known for great food but also its beautiful presentation. Can you tell us more about how your team achieves this with every dish that is served? The chefs at Harborfront are artists, they create great tasting food with incredible presentation and attention to detail. We create a variety of Asian, Indian and traditional Bermudian dishes. We prides ouselves on cooking with fresh local fish and shellfish. We often serve a nice variety including Rockfish, snapper, tuna, wahoo and hind. Even the fish chowder at Harbourfront is made with the freshest ingredients available. With thirteen chefs we all collaborate and work together to create the amazing menu that we have. I find a lot of inspiration for new ideas and dishes through my travels to new york, London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Boston, all the places that I visit. I am always watching people around me, preparing, creating just like I did when I was a boy working in my parents Trattoria. Additionally I find inspiration in some of the worlds greatest chefs. Masaharu Morimoto, Nobuyuki Matsuhisa, NOBU, Jean-Georges. We even feature some of their dishes on our menu – Pierangelo style of course. Sometimes I wake up and say – what am I going to create today. I have a few clients who told me that they have gone to other restaurants in Bermuda and have asked they can cook a dish Pierangelo style. But they other restaurants say that unfortunately they can’t accommodate. Haha. Can you share a simple “Pierangelo Style” dish with us that we might want to try out at home? Sure. I like to share my version of the Caprese salad with people especially those who live in Bermuda. This is one of the most popular salads every created and I always have a hard time finding the right kind of tomatoes for this salad here in Bermuda. When I do they just don’t ripe on time. So, here is what you can do. Start with a little Buffalo mozzarella. Lightly sautéed cherry tomato’s, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, oregano, basil and thyme in a pan. You want to sautéed on low heat and just until the skin begins to lift on the tomatoes. Plate all of the ingredi3nst with the Buffalo Mozzarella and serve with sliced avocado. The flavours that come together when combining the cherry tomatoes, sea salt ext over heat are just phenomenal. Besides your life as a restaurateur and offering such a fantastic experience daily at Harbourfont, you are also an incredible Photographer? Where do you possibly find the time for all of this? Well originally I tried golf but I really sucked at it so Photography is my hobby. Everyone should have something that they love to do and they should do it regularly. I take my camera and a tripod almost everywhere I go. I try to take a walk every morning and again in the evenings between lunch and dinner. The best time to shoot is between 6am and 9am. In the winter I am always off from 4pm – 6pm and I capture my sunset photos during this time. I am inspired daily by what is in front of me. Fortunately Harbourfront is one of the best locations on the island. During the summer months you can feed the fish right from your table on the terrace. There is no shortage of things to photograph so this is why I always have my camera on hand and why I am able to capture some fantastic photos even though I have such a busy schedule. Pierangelo has earned an Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator magazine every year since 1997. He also won Best maitre’d in 2004 and 2007 from Bermudian Magazine.

Bacardi was Cuba’s first multinational company... As its business grew in Cuba, Bacardi capitalized on growing opportunities abroad and expanded outside of Cuba. In 1910, Bacardi became Cuba’s first multinational company by opening a bottling plant in Barcelona, Spain. In 1916 the Company established a bottling facility in New York City. In the mid 1930s Bacardi distilleries opened in Mexico and Puerto Rico. For 130 years Bacardi remained a one-brand company and was very successful but eventually it made sense as a global brand to go beyond rum and thrive even further.
The Legendary Bat means... A colony of fruit bats hung from the rafters of Don Facundo’s first distillery. The bat has always been a symbol of health, good fortune and family unity. Because of its symbolism, Don Facundo’s wife, Amalia suggested using a bat for the company logo. 150 years later, the Bat Device is still featured on every bottle of BACARDI Rum and is acknowledged as one of the most recognized brand trademarks in the spirits industry.
