Altogether, the prize money free admissioN now totalsCity$20,300. The response was so overwhelming that the Hall & Arts Centre, Churchinitial St., Hamilton 441•295•9428 | www.bng.bm Masterworks Foundation has since then had to rethink the procedure; they now find it necessary to limit the number of entries from any one artist to one work of art. The third annual (2010) Charman prize exhibition will take place in the Butterfield Family Gallery, in the Masterworks Museum. In the two previous years, the exhibition was held in the Rick Ferries Gallery, but the show has proved so popular, it was difficult to control the crowds, hence the change to a larger venue. It will also be on show somewhat longer this time, making it possible for more to see it, under more comfortable circumstances. Some have suggested that the Charman Prize is Bermuda’s Turner Prize. For those not in the know, the Turner prize is an art prize for UK artists and is worth £25,000. Unlike the Charman Prize, which is notably open and democratic, the Turner Prize is restricted to those not yet 50 years old. Furthermore, as I understand it, there are no submissions for the jury to consider, who, being knowledgeable of UK art, make decisions, based upon who knows what? By contrast, the Charman prize is based upon an open submission, established rules and an international jury. (By the way, the Turner Prize has gone though quite an evolution in rules over the years and presently, some are urging another revamp.) The Jury for the Charman Prize judges each submission with the following criteria: 1. innovation, that is, artwork that introduces a new direction in the Bermuda art scene; 2. use of materials or technical mastery of a chosen media; 3. distinctive and convincing style - a well developed quality of imagination and individuality; and 4. serious social intent - a social commentary of insightful quality. These guidelines are not only

When I walked into your studio/gallery, the first thing I saw was a book on Georgia O’Keefe. The second image was a stunning painting of a yellow flower. Painting flowers is what really feeds your spirit. Please tell our readers what inspires you to create such beautiful, loving images of flowers.

Flowers are simply fascinating, and are one of God’s most precious gifts to this earth. They fill our world with tremendous beauty, healing, happiness, comfort and meaning. There is no other creation that can be so bold, bright and durable, yet small, sweet and intensely complex at the same time. I am inspired by their elegance and stateliness. It is an honour for me to paint a flower and do it justice. A large part of your life has been spent in the classroom as an educator. What was it that made you change your career to focus on the arts?

Some teachers are artists. Some artists are teachers. I am an artist who taught art for five good years. I then continued to teach privately for several more years; however teaching was always secondary to my dream, which was to build an art studio and Continued on page 30

In the Arts to paint. Teaching was intended to be temporary, as it was. My career is painting and interacting with art collectors. The icing on the cake is having the opportunity to invite a few talented students into my studio and help them to develop their skills. The title is an important component to the final painting. At what point during the creative process does the title come to you? During our interview together, you mentioned that you had a title party. Your friends came to your studio for a little cheer & nibbles, they were provided with a pencil and were given the freedom to name your new work. Were you surprised with the outcome?

At some point while painting the piece, usually toward the end, the title will hit me. Sometimes the title never comes. I have a Morning Glory Series, which so far is numbered up to #9. The Hibiscus series is endless! Yes, as long as I have wine, pencils and friends, I shall have titles for my paintings. Your work is so vibrant the images seem to jump off the canvas. You concentrate on watercolors, pastels and the pencil to create your artwork. It is an art mixing paint colors together. How do you know when the color combination is correct? Also, can you provide readers with colour ideas.

Noonday, Bermuda Watercolour. 14 x 20 inches. c1923. Charles Webster Hawthorne (American, 1872 - 1930). Born in Illinois, he grew up in Maine and died in Baltimore, Maryland. He worked with William Merritt Chase in oils and watercolours. A naturalist painter, his impressionist style catches the essence of the subject he has chosen. The result was multiple awards won from exhibitions shown all over the world. This present study ‘Noonday, Bermuda’ is a companion to ‘Early Morning, Bermuda’ painted about 1928 and is in the Masterworks collection, see p133 of theThe Masterworks Bermudiana Collection by Patricia Calnan.. Hawthorne rented a house on the Paget shore and worked from there.

That is not something I can describe. When you know, you just know. I love colour. I make my colours vibrant, then I give them just a little bit more. I can feel when the colour is right. It’s like dancing. You have to feel it. Here is a very basic lesson in “value”. Gaze at a clump of trees – for example, Fiddlewoods. Using the primary colours, yellow and blue, create every shade of green imaginable under the sun. If you think you’ve captured them all, add ten more. (Okay, you can cheat and use a few ready-mades, like sapgreen, hookers green and yellow ochre.)

About the making of a Princess – Part II By the beginning of the 20th century and fifteen years after the building of the original Princess Hotel, various additions had increased the capacity of the hotel to accommodate almost 300 guests. In both 1904 and 1905 further additions were completed and in 1907 several internal changes increased the number of bedrooms with private baths even further.

The Princess circa 1900 Following the death of manager Nathan Howe in 1907, his brother Frederick managed the hotel together with Leo Tworoger who would stay with the Princess as manager until 1940. In 1909 they added a new wing with 70 rooms at the northwest and the Princess could now accommodate 400 guests. Rooms were from $4 per day, $25 per week. Not just rooms were added to the hotel, the Princess also built the first hotel swimming pool in Bermuda, proIn the 1920’s… vided a golf course for its guests, as well as facilities such as a popular grill room and a handsome ball room. The music provided by the hotel orchestra and the weekly dances became popular features not just for overseas guests, but Bermudians as well. In 1924 a waterside colony club was added. The hotel now advertised itself as ‘The Princess Hotel and Cardiff Point Cottages, offering the traveler of discrimination the ideal accommodation. … and the 1930’s

Every requisite for convenience and comfort has been included – electric lights, elevator, room telephones, tiled swimming pool, grill room, spacious public rooms, tennis courts, golf course, saddle and driving Livery, yacht fleet, and the Metropolitan Orchestra’. Following the addition of the Adam Lounge in 1931 and a new western wing in 1932, the Princess promoted itself as the leading hotel in Bermuda – ‘At every world-famed resort there is one hotel that leads. Such a hotel not only assures a congenial atmosphere, but carries also the assurance of every expected luxury and comfort, as well as social diversions and sports facilities. There is such a hotel in Bermuda, and for over fifty years it has been the choice of the wellinformed’. During World War II the Princess Hotel was requisitioned by the Imperial Censorship Detachment sent to Bermuda to intercept and censor all trans-Atlantic mail between Europe and A tatty Princess in 1945 the United States. Following the war the Princess had become rather tatty and was sold to Englishman Sir Billy Butlin. Around 1960 American billionaire Daniel K. Ludwig planned the building of the huge Southampton Princess Hotel and, to show his goodwill, proposed to purchase the rundown Hamilton Princess and completely renovate it. $9 million later, the Hamilton Princess reopened April 1st 1964. Four years later the waterside cottages were removed and a 226-bed addition opened on the western side of the hotel.

The Princess in the 1960’s In 1980 Daniel Ludwig sold a 50% interest in the hotel to the British Lonrho Group who in turn sold the Princess Hotel as part of a seven property deal to Canadian Pacific Hotels in 1998. Together with Fairmont, they created the luxury brand that the Princess is today. Global Hospitality Investments purchased the Princess in 2007 and continue to operate the hotel as part of the Fairmont chain. – E-mail comments to: netlink@cwbda.bm

Is it Time to Go Back To School? Golfers looking to improve their games often think about enrolling in golf schools prior to the start of each season. In the United States, the popularity of such schools has resulted in many of the most famous instructors providing multi-day opportunities. Some of the most famous include Butch Harmon and his Golf School in Las Vegas and David Leadbetter who has opened academies in Africa, England, France, Germany, Spain, Turkey, Austria, China, Korea, Japan and his original locations in Florida. Other great golf schools are available in Pinehurst, Kiawah Island, Pebble Beach, Palm Springs and Scottsdale to name a few. If you are looking to improve your knowledge of the basics, improve a specific area of your game or hope that you might find lightening in a bottle with a two-day refresher, opportunities may exist as close as your local driving range through a recognized PGA Professional Instructor. So what should you look for when selecting a golf school? The Instructors – Take the time to research the faculty. While many Golf Schools boast about their curriculum and guaranteed improvements, it is important to review the actual teachers, their students, reviews and expertise. Butch Harmon knows a lot about the swing, but enrolling in his school doesn’t mean that old Butchy is going to spend three days overhauling your swing. His golf schools provide qualified instructors but ask for the resume of the instructor that specializes in the swing area you hope to improve. The Facility Itself – If you decide that your short game needs help, make sure the facility provides a variety of short game areas including bunkers, chipping areas and a variety of set up locations and don’t forget a large undulating practice putting green. Check to see if the school provides video analysis. Finally, many students prefer that their golf school is part of a larger resort. The facility and program may include spa facilities as well as nutrition education. Don’t forget that you can’t practice all night. You better make sure the lodging facilities are adequate as well as dining and nightlife. It’s not all work and no play! Golf As Part of The Package – No sense practicing without the ability to take it to the course. Many schools include the chance to get on the course. However, they don’t provide additional access after classes are over. The best schools give students plenty of time to get on the course and discounts during their stay. Belmont Hills Golf Club provides a Golf Academy and Port Royal Golf Course will also provide a Golf School for those who wish to include swing education in their vacation. I recommend that everyone should enroll in some form of golf swing tuition and instruction prior to the start of the season. Why not get those swing faults cured before making your trip to the first tee!

Business

Business of Charities The Hamilton Lions Club is one of Bermuda’s best-known service organizations. It does sterling work. The Club was founded in 1917 and stresses community service, but not punctuation. Why the organisation took the name Lions is lost in the mists of time, but it probably had something to do with the strength of the lion, its powerful presence and leadership qualities. It’s unlikely that it was adopted because members of the Club planned to rip apart and eat lesser animals. The metaphor is a little more apt for Detroit’s football team, the Lions. When they win, the headlines always say they mauled the opposition. The symbol of the lion has been adopted by any number of countries and corporations. The lion is both Holland’s and Scotland’s national symbol. It is also Sweden’s and Tibet’s. Emperor Haile Selassie was known as the “Lion of Judah”. In heraldry, the lion symbolises bravery, strength and royalty. Along with a million others, there’s the British Rail lion, the Peugeot lion, the Chrysler lion, the Lion of Zion, Food Lion, Red Lion and honey, you can’t hide your lion eyes. Symbolism is crucial to success in the corporate world. History is littered with examples of companies that didn’t quite get it right. Rolls Royce is one of the best. It arrogantly gave no thought to such things when it launched its Silver Mist model in Germany, where “Mist” means manure. Another well-known cross-cultural corporate blunder also concerned a car, the Chevy Nova. It sold poorly in South America, until research (which might have been better carried out earlier) revealed that, in Spanish, “no va” means “won’t go”. So many examples of how to get it wrong. When Pepsi translated its cutline, “Come alive with Pepsi”, it inadvertently ran a (brief) campaign based around people “reanimating their corpses out of the grave” with Pepsi. In Chinese, the Kentucky Fried Chicken slogan “finger-lickin’ good” came out as “eat your fingers off ’, which I think is much better. The same thing happens in reverse: The Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux tried to sell its goods in America, but didn’t help itself with this slogan: “Nothing sucks like an Electrolux”. Footwear manufacturer Nike has a television commercial for hiking shoes that was shot in Kenya using Samburu tribesmen. The camera closes in on one tribesman who speaks, in his native Maa tongue, as the Nike slogan, “Just do it”, appears on the screen. An anthropologist at the University of Cincinnati spotted that the Kenyan is really saying: “I don’t want these. Give me big shoes”. Nike, who knew what was going on, said that they thought nobody in America would understand what the fellow was saying. And finally, although it may be apocryphal, my favourite cross-cultural misunderstanding is about stevedores, apparently at an unnamed African port. They saw the supposedly international symbol for “fragile”, which is a broken wine glass, on some boxes and assumed they must be full of broken glass. They threw the boxes into the sea.

In the Arts

ART MATTERS – Continued from 21 useful in judging the work, they are also useful to the artists in making their creations. The Charman Prize, it seems, has encouraged many, even those who seldom exhibit, to get working. This is a good thing and confirms what I have thought for some time now, that with enlightened patronage, our Bermuda artists are sufficiently accomplished to be able to produce wonderful things. The Charman Prize exhibition opens on February 5 and continues through April 24, 2009. ANTHONY PETTIT BERMUDA MAPS, BOOKS, PRINTS & PAINTINGS Call 441 292-2482 for an appointment, www.anthonypettit.com Anthony Pettit is a dealer in most types of antiquities relating to Bermuda, particularly maps, books, prints, paintings and ephemera. Engravings, lithographs, views and woodcuts are offered, as are sketches, oils and water colours. Among the ephemera are postcards, posters, brochures and photographs. A fully illustrated catalogue is available on request. Bermuda National Gallery 441 295-9428, www.bng.bm Located beside the main bus terminal in Hamilton, on the second floor of City Hall & Arts Centre, the Bermuda National Gallery is the place to start one’s exploration of the visual arts in Bermuda. Always on display in the Ondaatje wing is the history of Bermuda, as told through visual and decorative arts: paintings, cabinetry, silverware, photographs, beautiful art and artifacts that tell the narrative of this developing, diverse culture. Currently on at the BNG is an exhibition by the BNG and the Bermuda National Trust called 4 Centuries: Evolving Art. There are also some excellent lectures on through out the month. Visit www.bng.bm for details. Free, guided tours each Thursday at 10:30 a.m. To arrange other tours contact the gallery. Open Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission free. Masterworks MUSEUM of Bermuda Arts 441 236-2950, www.bermudamasterworks.com Set in the Botanical Gardens, Bermuda’s first ever purpose built museum houses a collection of over 1,000 pieces of Bermuda inspired art. Renowned artists such as Georgia O’Keeffe, Winslow Homer and Albert Gleizes are part of the permanent collection, and there are continuously evolving shows of local artists on display. Masterworks Foundation was started 21 years ago with just a few paintings, and has grown to the collection we see today. In March 2008, after five years of construction, the new Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art was opened to the public. The museum presents an impressive new facility for educational purposes for all Bermudians, as well as providing an exciting new destination for visitors to the island. On display in the Butterfield Family Gallery from June 20th through to the end of the year is “We Are Sailing”, an exhibition featuring approximately 45 works, ranging in date from 1793 to the present. This is a special exhibition exploring Bermuda’s bond with the sea and the wide-ranging effects of the island’s unique seascape, topography, and light on the many artists who experienced them. The exhibition includes works by a diversity of artists, including Albert Gleizes, Marsden Hartley, Winslow Homer, and Malcolm Morley. The exhibition coincides with the mid-June arrival of the fleet of tall ships participating in the Atlantic Challenge 2009, a race, last held in 2000, that circumnavigates the Atlantic Ocean.

The tour highlights such areas as Lagoon Park, The Royal Naval Cemetery, the Clock Tower Building, Somerset Village, Bermuda Maritime Museum and so much more. THE ROYAL NAVAL DOCKYARD, Ireland Island, Sandys Work began on this massive complex in 1809, not long after the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars and just before the War of 1812. Envisioned as a strategic British military outpost that would make Bermuda the “Gibraltar of the West,” the Royal Naval Dockyard was built by slave and convict labour. The Dockyard locked its gates in 1951. Since then, the seventy-five acre site has been painstakingly renovated to accommodate museums, a movie theatre, restaurants, The Arts Centre and the Bermuda Craft Market. BERMUDA MARITIME MUSEUM, Ireland Island, Sandys Located in the Keep of the Royal Naval Dockyard, this museum has become one of the island’s most frequently visited destinations since being opened by HM Queen Elizabeth II in 1975. Exhibits chronicle both Bermuda’s association with the Royal Naval and its own interesting maritime history. Open 9:30am5pm daily except Christmas Day. Last admission is at 4:00pm. Adults $10, Seniors $8, Children (5 to 15) $5.

D o ckyard to St. George’s bearing the town crest was begun in 1802, a few years after the Corporation of St. George’s was founded in 1797. The State House, located up a gentle elevation behind Town Hall, is one of the island’s oldest, most historically important and unique buildings. Erected around 1620 by Governor Nathaniel Butler, it was where the House of Assembly and Supreme Court held session before Hamilton became Bermuda’s capital in 1815. The State House is open to the public 10am-4pm on Wednesdays only. THE UNFINISHED CHURCH Duke of Kent Street, St. George’s The impressive Gothic vestige that looms over the town of St. George’s was begun in 1870 as a replacement for St. Peter’s, which had fallen into a state of serious disrepair. Designed by William Hay, the Scottish-born architect who later drew the plans for Hamilton’s cathedral, the St. George’s church was abandoned in 1899 when near completion. FORT ST. CATHERINE St. Catherine’s Point, St. George’s Fort St. Catherine, stands on the site of one of the four towers that Governor Richard Moore erected along Bermuda’s coast around 1613. None of these original towers, the first English forts in the New World, survive. Rebuilt in the eighteenth century, the present, completely restored structure dates from the mid-nineteenth century and is home to fascinating exhibits including military guns and weapons. Open daily 10:00am-4:00pm. Admission: Adults $7, Seniors $5, Children $3 CARTER HOUSE Southside Road, St. David’s An example of early vernacular architecture, Carter House was probably built in the 1720s by John Hayward and his wife Martha, reputedly a descendant of Christopher Carter, one of the two Sea Venture survivors who stayed behind when the vessel’s other passengers continued on to Virginia in 1610. Acquired by the St. David’s Historical Society, this small house with its unusual ‘welcoming arm’ stairs has been converted into a museum that commemorates the pre-war agrarian traditions of St. David’s. ST. DAVID’S LIGHTHOUSE Mount Hill, St. David’s Constructed of Bermuda stone, this 55-foot structure is one of two local lighthouses. Lit for the first time in 1879, its fixed white light enabled navigators to take cross bearings with the flashing beacon emitted by Gibbs Hill lighthouse way up the coast in Southampton.

Take the City of Hamilton Walkway of History Tour The City of Hamilton Walkway of History Tour was officially launched in early October 2009 to commemorate Bermuda’s 400th anniversary of settlement on the island. The tour was devised and implemented by the Bermuda 2009 Committee and the Corporation of Hamilton to identify important sites of architectural, social, cultural or historical significance in the City. A brochure was created to enable pedestrians to learn about the history of the city on the self-guided tour that may be taken as a whole or in parts. Plaques have been installed in the sidewalk at various points along the route of the tour. Plaque #1 is located at Nellie’s Walk on Church Street in front of the City Hall. The tour will take about two hours to complete and the usual safety and road traffic precautions must be obeyed.

Some of the historical sights that will be seen during the tour include: The City Hall

The City Hall was designed by Bermudian architect Wilfred Onions and completed in 1960. It sits on the site of the Hamilton Hotel, Bermuda’s first major hotel. The Eastern Gate of Victoria Park on Cedar Avenue

Victoria Park was developed in 1889 in what had been a low-lying boggy area called Deane’s Bottom after Alfred Deane whose Springfield Academy (founded 1848) students had used the area as their playground. The bandstand was sent from Scotland to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Jubilee and soon became a popular venue for military and other concerts. Cedar Avenue

On the east side of Cedar Avenue is the Leopards Club, founded in February 1949. The house was built about 1850 as a private home by Samuel Prudden Watson, merchant, United States consular agent and member for Pembroke in the House of Assembly. Somewhat changed architecturally, the building is now a club, a place for political education and site for black entrepreneurship and entertainment. Corner Cedar Avenue and Angle Street

Designed by Lawrence Smart and built in 1931 in Spanish style, St Theresa’s Cathedral is the spiritual home of Bermuda’s Roman Catholics. The tower, surmounted by a 13 foot aluminum cross with its life size statue of St Theresa in its niche, was added in 1947. Junction of North and Angle Streets

The former Pembroke Sunday School was built in the 1820s and extended about 1882 to the design of Dr Henry Hinson, whose work is evident in a number of Bermuda’s parish churches and St Paul AME. Now a community centre, it is appropriately called The Centre. To learn more about these sights and others described on the tour, stop by City Hall to pick up a brochure.

The Cenataph outside the Cabinet Building, a replica of the one at Whitehall in London, memorializes Bermudians who gave their lives in the two world wars.

St. George’s and Eastern Parishes St. George’s — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — is where it all began, when in July 1609 the Sea Venture — en route from England to the new colony of Jamestown Virginia — encountered a violent storm and was shipwrecked on Bermuda’s reefs less than a mile off what is now St. Catherine’s Point. Miraculously, all on board survived the disaster and swam ashore to Gates Bay, located at the eastern end of St. George’s not far from the channel where modern cruise ships enter the town’s snug harbour today. However, Bermuda’s first arrivals encountered a very different place from the placid eighteenth-century town that welcomes today’s visitor. World Heritage Centre Located in the heart of the Town of St. George’s, the World Heritage Centre is a key orientation and resource point for visitors and students of all ages. Celebrating the mission of The St. George’s Foundation, the World Heritage Centre is central to the promotion of the Town and Parish of St. George’s. Lively, interactive histories are told through state-of-the art technology, participatory talks, historical re-enactments, and an ongoing Continued on page 54

Every Wednesday & Saturday at noon duing the winter months the town crier, colorfully decked out in tunic, breeches and tricorn hat, rings his bell and shouts “Oyez! Oyez!” (Hear Ye!).

During the American Civil War its upper floor was occupied by a Confederate Shipping Agent from where he organized the shipment of arms, uniforms and war supplies through the Union blockade to the South. It now houses the Confederate Museum and hosts the “Rogues and Runners” exhibit, highlighting Bermuda’s participation in the American Civil War. Open Mon., Tue., Wed., & Sat. 10am-4pm. Admission $5. 441 297-1423. ST. PETER’S CHURCH, Duke of York Street Situated in appropriate loftiness above the main street of St. George’s, St. Peter’s Church is one of the island’s most beloved landmarks and is the oldest anglican church continuously occupied in the New World. The first church on the site was constructed in 1612 of native cedar posts and fitted with small windows and a thatched roof. This original edifice was replaced seven years later by a more permanent structure that lasted almost a hundred years, until the hurricane of 1712. Following this disaster, the church was again rebuilt. During the next one hundred and fifty years this early eighteenth-century structure was augmented by additions, fittings and furniture that make St. Peter’s the culturally rich trove it is today. Open Mon. to Sat. 10am-5pm. Anglican service 11:15am Sundays. THE OLD RECTORY, Broad Alley, St. George’s, behind St. Peter’s Church Built in 1699, this charming cottage on one of the numerous picturesque back streets in St. George’s is one of Bermuda’s oldest houses. Acquired in 1700 by Captain George Dew, an unsuccessful privateer who became a St. George’s assemblyman, The Old Rectory acquired its current name when it became the residence of the Rev. Alexander Richardson in the last quarter of the eighteenth century. ST. GEORGE’S HISTORICAL SOCIETY MUSEUM, Duke of Kent Street and Featherbed Alley Built around 1734 as a private residence, Mitchell House is a fine example of eighteenth-century Bermudian domestic architecture. A building whose interesting history includes service as a tavern, Mitchell House has been home to the St. George’s Historical Society since 1920. Open 10am-4pm Mon-Fri. Admission $5. 441 297-0715. BERMUDIAN HERITAGE ASSOCIATION, Samaritan’s Lodge, Intersection of York and Water Streets St. George’s newest museum, the Bermuda Heritage Association was formed in 1994 to preserve and document the history of black culture and achievement in Bermuda. This inclusive museum displays a fascinating assortment of memorabilia relating to the many areas in which blacks have made a contribution since first arriving on the island in 1616: shipbuilding, piloting, construction, nursing, music, sports and politics, to name a few.

ACCOMMODATIONS & Fractional Ownership by Sally Kyle

Vacation Ownership in Bermuda The St. George’s Club is a seventy-one unit Cottage Colony, in ten acres of manicured grounds, overlooking the old town of St George’s, (a World Heritage Site), its harbour and the surrounding North Shore area. The town is only a few minutes walk away and we have a shuttle to our very own beach at Achilles Bay on the other side of the golf course. Here you will find one of our restaurant and bars, Blackbeard’s Hideout, offering the most spectacular sunsets on the island and delicious seafood. Our one and two-bedroom cottages are self contained units, all with fully equipped kitchens and the capability of sleeping from four to eight persons. Our other restaurant, Griffin’s Bistro, has magnificent views of the harbor and is located in the main Clubhouse. Here you will also find our convenience store, laundry and a small gymnasium. The Club also offers plenty of opportunity for relaxation whether it is around one of our three pools, one of which is heated for the cooler months, or a game of tennis at one of our flood-lit tennis courts. The St George’s Golf course is currently closed for reconstruction, however it will be replaced with a world class Course designed by Nick Faldo. In light of this, we are able to offer our members privileges at the Riddell’s Bay Golf and Country Club, Bermuda’s oldest golf course. Vacation ownership offers consumers the opportunity to purchase a fully furnished condominium style vacation cottage for only a percentage of the cost of a full condominium or vacation home ownership and at a guaranteed time. Instead of tying up all your capital by buying a vacation house which will probably remain empty much of the year, you simply purchase the weeks you need. Each year you pay an assessment fee for the time you “use” the unit and The Club facilities, instead of paying year-round fees as with a condominium or house. It also provides a means to reduce the impact of inflation and escalating rental and hotel rates. Vacation ownership differs from Fractional Ownership in that it is a right-to-use for a finite time and consequently by design a “fraction” of the price. To put it another way, you only have a personal property right, not “real” property. This is granted by the developer, under agreement with the Bermuda Government, for the use of the property for a designated time period each year. You also have related access to the Club house facilities and amenities as per the contract. The St George’s Club is an RCI affiliated resort and this gives our membership the ability to exchange to resorts all over the world. Interestingly over 85% of our membership chooses to return to The St. George’s Club each year for its unique experience. The St Georges’ Club is now able to offer 50 year leases and is Bermuda’s premier and only vacation ownership resort at this time. For more information about ownership in The St. George’s Club call +1 (441) 297-1222 or visit our web site at www. stgeorgesclub.com.

Chef Livio’s new venture in Dockyard has inspired him to create his menu with an emphasis on cuisine that he feels suits the island’s lifestyle. “I like to make the most of our fresh fish and local produce,” he told us, “natural, simple, fast and balanced dishes because, like Italian cuisine, this is best suited to my abilities.” He proudly told us “seafood, seafood, the best from Bermuda waters, but with my love of the style of Mediterranean cooking, there is something for everyone, including favorite recipes from my mother!” Chef Livio began his training at age eleven in a hotel in his village home of Cortina D’Ampezzo in Italy where he was born and raised. He proudly relates how he has cooked for famous people such as President Carter, Michael Douglas, David Bowie, Iman and even the President of Italy. “I always chose to work in an environment of a very high standard, alongside many respected head chefs”, thus he trained and worked in some of Italy’s most prestigious Continued on page 84

Your Table is R eady hotels and restaurants….always remembering that to be the best chef meant “your heart was in your hands!” Today Chef Livio prides himself on maintaining this rule so, with very few exceptions, everything on his menu is made in his kitchen. He emphasizes that he likes to ‘create’ what his customers want, then acknowledges that this should be the role of a true chef, one who has been trained by the best. The happy atmosphere in his lively restaurant is enhanced by the fun music, the wonderful indoor/outdoor bar and dining, and of course the views of the waterfront. “When my customers see their food, I want them to say, “Wow! The plate looks so beautiful and enticing,” he said smiling. It is not unusual to see Chef Livio chatting with the diners in his restaurant. Ask to meet him…we know he would love to meet you! He will give you an evening to remember!

Guest ACCOMMODATIONs Bermuda’s resort hotels, cottage colonies and guest houses range from cosmopolitan to cosy, secluded to opulent, ocean views to golf courses. Your desires, dreams and requirements will come true in the many styles of accommodation that are available in Bermuda. You might choose to stay in a cottage that has been built on stilts over the ocean with a sunset that goes on forever. For something a little different still, choose to stay on a luxury yacht and experience a unique perspective that will be all your own. If you are seeking some personal time, take a massage and facial from the many spas that are located in the resort hotels before your evening entertainment begins. If one of Bermuda’s golf courses gives you passion, choose the many resorts where the backyard is the first hole. The ocean view is often distracting, but remember to keep your head down. The islands of Bermuda offer the style of accommodation that suits the most discerning visitor. You will fall in love with Bermuda at first sight. Go one step further and discover the fractional ownership opportunities of owning a piece of the rock. A handful of beautiful specialty resorts offer properties for purchase.

You’ll Be a “shoe in” with your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day Nothing says Valentine’s Day better than having Champagne served in a Louboutin Stiletto Champagne Flute!

Lightly flour 2 baking sheets. Mix bread flour and salt in another large bowl; mix in beaten eggs. Using fingertips, rub in butter a few pieces at a time until well blended. Add 1/2 cup water; stir to blend, adding more water by tablespoonfuls if dough is dry. Knead in bowl until dough comes together. Turn dough out onto floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Divide dough into 4 pieces. Roll out 1 dough piece on lightly floured surface to scant 1/8-inch thickness. Using 3 1/2-inch-diameter cookie cutter or biscuit cutter and using sharp knife as aid, cut out 6 rounds. Repeat with remaining dough pieces. Transfer half of dough rounds to prepared baking sheets. Place 2 level tablespoons cheese mixture in center of each dough round on baking sheets. Top with quartered strawberries. Brush edges of dough rounds lightly with water. Cover with remaining dough rounds, pressing firmly on edges to adhere and seal. Preheat oven to 300°F. Pour enough oil into heavy large pot to reach depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil to 350°F. Add 3 to 4 ravioli at a time to hot oil in pot and deep-fry until golden, turning once, about 4 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Place ravioli on baking sheets and keep warm in oven while frying remaining ravioli. Place ravioli on platter. Drizzle with honey and serve hot. These tantalizing bites are a definite “shoe in” for a wonderful Valentine celebration. So raise your “stiletto” and toast to love and romance! Happy Valentine’s Day!

“BEAU RIVAGE” Upon arrival for an evening of “Birthday Bliss” at Beau Rivage I noticed, the brand-new Lounge next door was closed for a wedding party. Sigh. With no comment, just a retrace of steps back to the front door we walked in an hour early and found a seat at the bar, all 9 of us. Once the wine and champagne filled our glasses we had forgotten all about the little mishap and I had made a mental note - never assume a brand new hot spot would just be open to anyone at anytime of the evening. The atmosphere is exquisite in the summer months with a gorgeous patio overlooking Hamilton Harbour. The only eye sore is the infinity pool that you can’t dive into unless you are a guest. As we wade our way through the miserable winter months of this semi tropical island Beau Rivage continues to shine through the misery with promise of a beautiful intimate setting indoors too. After an hour of laughter and catching up, we were seated. Everything was perfect. Great wine, great champagne and then frog legs were delivered to the table almost directly across from me. I crinkled my face and glanced over as our friend took a bite. “Tastes just like chicken!” she said with a burst of laughter. I wasn’t laughing but relieved that they appeared to be battered and disguised as a sort of drumstick. I brought a homemade gluten free chocolate cake decorated with chocolate dipped strawberries for the birthday girl. The cake was served at the end of the evening and I hardly recognized it. Our waitress had decorated each piece beautifully. I wish I could have taken credit for that part! “The food was amazing! every last bite!”

4.5 hours later we packed up our things and headed off. Beau Rivage is a perfect dinner party spot and in the summer you can even take the ferry from town. It was indeed an evening of “Birthday Bliss”!

Dining in Bermuda is an experience on its own. Imagine that you’re at one of Bermuda’s pink beaches savoring a local delicacy, the Bermuda fishcake sandwich. If you would like to experience what Bermudians love, then you would order the works. An old-timer once told me that Bermudians invented “the works.” Even if that statement isn’t accurate, the Bermuda fish sandwich with the works is like nothing I have experienced before. Local and internationally recognized chefs create a dining adventure that will take your taste buds to a new level. Wines and spirits from around the world will be matched to perfection with each course. Go back in time; several restaurants date back to the 18th and 19th centuries.
