Letter from the Mayor

LETTER FROM THE MAYOR OF HAMILTON THE RT. WOR. Graeme Outerbridge Welcome to the City of Hamilton As the newly elected Mayor, it is my honor to welcome you to the City of Hamilton, one of the smallest cities in the world, rich in history, culture and heritage. The original Town of Hamilton was incorporated by an Act of the Bermuda Legislature in 1793. Located in a sheltered harbour in the central and largest parish, Pembroke, it was named in honour of the then Governor, Captain Henry Hamilton. The town quickly became the capital of Bermuda when the seat of government was transferred from St. George in 1815. Following the completion of the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity, situated some 400 yards east of the present City Hall, the status of City was conferred upon the Town of Hamilton in 1897 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. The City of Hamilton has a resident population of about 1,100 and an estimated daytime population of approximately 13,340 (40% of Bermuda’s working population). This number increases significantly when tourists are added to the equation. In addition to the excellent cuisine that can be found in the city’s many varied restaurants, the shopping is easy and the historic sites are a must see. I can attest to the fact that Hamilton is a delightful capital to get around on foot. Measuring about a quarter square mile, the entire area can be walked in about 30 minutes however, exploring, discovering and enjoying the sites, both historic and new, can take hours, maybe even days. Anyone wishing to explore the City in depth can participate in the Walkway of History tour that was created as part of Bermuda’s 400th Anniversary, in 2009. Plaques have been installed in the sidewalk at various points along the route to identify important sites of architectural, social, cultural or historical significance in the City. This self-°©‐guided tour starts and ends on Church Street in front of the City Hall, and enables the pedestrian to learn about the history of the city and may be taken as a whole or in parts. Brochures can be obtained from City Hall. An electronic version can be found on www.cityofhamilton.bm

Some of the sights to discover include: City Hall Opened in 1960, the building is of traditional Bermuda architecture with a Scandinavian influence in respect of the tower. In 2010 we celebrated the building’s 50th anniversary by reproducing a number of activities that took place at the opening, including inviting some of the workers who helped with the construction. City Hall’s amenities include a theatre, two galleries housing the Bermuda National Gallery and the Bermuda Society of Arts, the Mayor’s Parlour, and the administrative offices of the City of Hamilton. Victoria Park Bandstand Painstakingly dismantled, refurbished and reassembled in 2009, the Victorian Bandstand was originally shipped to Bermuda in 1888 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in June 1887. At an unveiling ceremony in 2009, a number of the island’s schools contributed items to a Time Capsule buried in one of the posts of the bandstand to be opened in 2109. Wesley Square A purpose built recreational area officially opened in July 2009 to commemorate the men and women who in 1959, with bravery, tenacity and a vision for a better Bermuda, staged a peaceful theatre boycott and protested for equality, freedom and the end to segregation. City Parks There are four large public parks within the City of Hamilton that are open to the general public between 8am to sunset every day. They are: Fort Hamilton, Barr’s Bay Park, Victoria Park and Queen Elizabeth Park recently named in honor of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, the second longest reigning monarch in British history. Again, welcome to Hamilton, Bermuda at it best. Yours sincerely,

BERMUDA haha Bermuda Heat By Roger Crombie When you think of summer in Bermuda, or even farther afield, what comes to mind is the heat. The grinding, unending heat. For those who live in colder climates, it’s a blessing. For me and many of my Bermudian friends, it’s hell. Not being a great fan of air conditioning, when I lived in Bermuda I used to suffer through the summer and most of the spring and autumn with only an electric fan for company. I worked from home. If the windows were open, spiders, flies and hideous, multi-tentacled anomalies would roar indoors by the thousand, so I kept the windows closed, thank you very much. For part of the year, this was an excellent strategy. Only one foot-long centipede ever made it into the house, resulting in my sole appearance above the fold in the Royal Gazette. The photo showed me holding a giant monster with legs all over it. The caption read: “Roger Crombie (left) with a disgusting beast”. They added the ‘(left)’ in case you weren’t quite sure which one of us was the disgusting beast. Come summer, the closed-window strategy was less than optimal. I’d have to work naked, but that was only part of the solution. I’d wrap a towel around my neck to cope with the sweat. When the towel was soaked through, I’d exchange it for a new one. This desperate behaviour and my lack of a washing machine kept the Quicky Licky laundromat in business. This worked, kinda, for years, until one summer I went away for a few weeks. At the time, I had hanging in the centre of the living room a rubber chicken, as you do. When I returned, the chicken had melted into a disgusting gooey mess all over the parquet flooring. I didn’t much care about the floor — it wasn’t mine — but the loss of the chicken was a heavy blow. I’ve never quite understood why an inert clown’s prop couldn’t survive the heat, but I could. I’m hardier than a rubber chicken: that’s something, I suppose. I’ve only ever once fainted from the heat. It was in Athens. I had driven down with a girlfriend, who wanted to see the Colosseum and refused to believe that it was 800 miles north-west of Athens, in Rome. We wandered the streets searching for it, to prove me wrong. The temperature was 48 Celsius, which is 118 in English money, in the shade. We were just about the only ones strolling along the boulevards. Everyone else was sitting in the shade. Suddenly, everything became slow motion and I found myself walking down stairs, only I was on a level street. I was fainting. They don’t teach you that in school. I walked down the stairs until I was face-down on the sidewalk. I don’t know what happened next, but I do recall coming out of it with an orange soda in my hand and several people berating me. And now Greece is bankrupt.

Mad dogs and Englishmen, inna?

FINALLY, A BEACH ’N BOAT ’N FISH ’N GOLF ’N PARTY DARK ’N STORMY. ®

22 Calendar of Events in 1994, the exhibition continues to represent the vitality and creativity of local artists. The Bermuda Biennial provides an opportunity for local artists to engage in an internationally juried process, which strives to represent the excellence of Bermuda’s contemporary art scene. Since 1998, Bacardi Limited has generously been the Signature Sponsor and 2012 marks the 10th Anniversary of this important event. Impressions of Bermuda: The David L. White Gift to the Bermuda National Gallery This exhibition celebrates the recent gift of 51 paintings, a most significant contribution to the Bermuda Collection, representing the vision of David L. White, OBE, Chairman Emeritus, Trustee and ambassador for the arts. With a discerning eye, he acquired a comprehensive collection that includes works by important American impressionist artists who visited and painted Bermuda. On display are 46 of the total 77 works of art donated by Mr. White since the museum opened in 1992: “Throughout the last twenty-five years of collecting, I have never thought of these works as belonging to me. I have always known that at some time they would have to be available to all Bermudians.” Thursday Tours @ 10:30am Weekly tours of the BNG take place each Thursday at 10:30 am and admission is FREE. A team of docents (gallery tour guides) are professionally trained for each exhibition at the BNG. Tours on other days or for special groups may be prearranged.

ART matters

By Lisa Howe, Director Bermuda National Gallery

BeRmudA NATioNAl GAlleRy’s 2012

BAcARdi limiTed exhiBiTioN of coNTempoRARy BeRmudA ART The Bermuda National Gallery’s 2012 Bacardi Limited Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary Bermuda Art, in its 10th year, continues to serve as an artistic barometer–– a measure of where the artist and their contemporaries rest within the dialogue on what is art of the day. Understanding this exhibition as a discourse is important. A ‘biennial’ is open, without guidelines or finite conclusions; it is purposefully adaptable and responsive to the shifts in contemporary art and surrounding ideas. What is specific: Bermudian artists and residing foreign nationals are invited to submit up to five pieces of art (created within the last two years and previously not exhibited on Island) to be juried by guest curators. This year 56 artists submitted 186 works to be juried by Naomi Beckwith, curator from the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, and Trinidadian artist, curator and writer Christopher Cozier. The jurors observed how Bermuda has a “history of people passing through and perpetually re-imagining and refashioning the space.” This idea of flux has implications for contemporary practice and this exhibition, which “raises questions…about who or what arrives on Bermuda’s shores? What ideas – ways of seeing and making – are passing through and being processed by the transient and permanent local populations within the current moment? ... The challenge, then, is to create a biennial that creates…a platform where these multiple visions are contested and play off each other. The hope is to not put forth an ideal… but to posit that the contemporary context in Bermuda is one where multiple temporalities and national visions can coexist.” As always, we look to our exhibitions to create unique experiences, to re-configure the museum space and serve as sources of inspiration and education. Looking across the history of the exhibition, now in its tenth year, it is clear that for such a small community, we have very much to be proud. Art is alive in Bermuda. Please join us in celebrating the 2012 Bacardi Limited Biennial of Contemporary Bermuda Art. Complimentary admission. Tours each Thursday at 10:30 am. Call ahead to confirm: 441-295-9428.

ARTIST of

Charles Zuill & Emma Ingham Featherbed Art Studio, St. George’s

Nestled just below the St. George’s Historical Society on the corner of Featherbed Alley and Duke of York Street in the beautiful Town of St. George, you will find the Featherbed Art Studio. Just a short walk for visitors from the Town Square, the Featherbed Art Studio is a must see for inspiration, original Bermudian artwork and the charming company of resident artists, Emma Ingham and Charles Zuill.

Charles & Emma met back in the day…

In the early 1970’s Charles had an art studio in Flatts that he shared with fellow artist Desmond Fountain. Together they held open house workshops regularly, supplying models and tools to invited artists. Emma started attending on Wednesday evenings with a number of other artists. Collectively these gatherings led to bigger things and places that we know today as The Bermuda National Gallery and the Arts Centre at Dockyard. Now Charles and Emma both work out of the Featherbed Art Studio in St. George’s.

Charles Zuill

Charles is an inspirational figure in our local arts scene. He is a founding trustee of the Bermuda National Gallery; until 1998 he was the president of the Bermuda Arts Council; he is a former professor of the Bermuda College and was one of the founders of the Bermuda Arts Centre in Dockyard. Charles is a traveler and spent much of his time abroad. His studies included a Ph.D. in Art Theory and Criticism at the New York University, an MFA in Painting and Printmaking at the Rochester Institute of Technology and a B.A. in Fine Arts at the Atlantic Union College. Charles went on to teach in Michigan, returned to Bermuda when he taught at Bermuda College for 17 years and then back to Michigan teaching for another 5 years after

In the Arts 33 retiring in Bermuda. Charles developed many special relationships along his way and his students still contact him today. With his family in London, he continues to travel regularly. If you are lucky enough to find him at the Featherbed Art Studio be sure to chat with him, you are definitely bound to learn a thing or two and will be inspired by all that he has to say and show you. “My work is more that of allowing natural forces to work on my canvas leaving its trace as evidence of its process. I use natural materials in as natural a way as possible to create real landscapes – real – not realistic.” – Charles Zuill

Emma Ingham

Emma is a well known and respected Bermudian artist, particularly admired are

her figure drawings and use of bold sun filled colours in her water colour paintings. There is a real sensitivity in her work. One might find oneself emotionally connected to her use of colour and brush strokes. Emma studied at Parsons School of Design in New York City. When she returned to Bermuda from New York she became a fashion illustrator for the local leading stores and until 2001, for many years, Emma owned an advertising agency, Harris & Mitchell Associates. Emma always found herself making art, attending art related get togethers and workshops such as the one where she first met Charles Zuill. Emma has always had a studio someplace or another across the island. If she didn’t have models she would find them, once using students from a next-door Marshal Arts class. Emma was the Editor of

This Week in Bermuda for a number of years, she worked for Island Press, the Bermuda Sun, Troncossi Public Relations and freelanced for a number of Government Departments including the Bermuda Department of Tourism. Emma mentioned her need for a suitable space to Jeannie Olander, President to the St. George’s Historical Society(SGHS). It was Jeannie who unlocked the door to the vacant space underneath Mitchell House; that was 7 years ago. Featherbed Arts Studio has become a neighbourhood attraction with artists, visitors, locals and even school children who stop by daily to see what is happening at the studio. The Featherbed Art Studio is a working studio and doesn’t have set gallery hours. You are always welcome to pop by and see if the doors are open.

Bermuda’s History 41

Glimpses of

BERMUDA’S HISTORY From Barracks to Prison National Museum of Bermuda to Museum

This photograph can be dated with considerable accuracy to 1876, as we have two others that are dated 1874 and 1875, which show the Machine Shop at the Bermuda Dockyard in its first stages of construction. It is the building in the foreground which has scaffolding on its eastern side and is in the last stages of completion, making it the last of the stone buildings to be erected in the main yard of the Dockyard, a process that began in 1848, prior to which there were no such buildings in the yard. In the upper left is the great Casemate Barracks, which was constructed three decades earlier and is the earliest building of the Dockyard after the Commissioner’s House. Originally built as a home for the Royal Marine Light Infantry, which manned all the fortifications of the Dockyard, the building was abandoned in 1951 after the Second World War. Twelve years later, it was commissioned as HM Prison at Bermuda, a role it maintained until 1994, when a modern facility was built to the south of the historic Dockyard. In 1977, watchtowers were added to Casemates Prison (inset), following the assassination of the Governor of Bermuda, to increase its security measures. The towers were demolished by volunteers working for the National Museum in 2007, as that institution has been given responsibility for all of the fortifications of the Dockyard, including the Casemate Barracks, which has thus evolved from a barracks to a prison to a museum exhibition hall.

Heritage Matters, Page 43 |

Do You Know..., Page 45

Heritage MatterS by Dr. Edward Harris, MBE The White House at Salt Cay was built in the Bermuda architectural idiom.

At the End of the World at Salt Cay Before the world was known to be round and before Columbus sighted the Bahamas archipelago in 1492, Salt Cay in what are now the Turks and Caicos Islands was to all appearances at the end of the world. It appears so today, with its 60-odd inhabitants, derelict salt ponds or salinas, and a stunning array of decaying houses partly built in the Bermuda architecture idiom. The original Amerindians, the Arawak, might have occasionally rowed over for some sea salt, naturally dried in the salinas, but they and their successors, the Caribs, for whom the sea is named, would not have tarried long on the 2.5 square miles of low-lying sand dunes and marshes. No one took much notice of the place until 1681, when Bermudians, intent on finding materials for trade, settled in Grand Turk to rake salt there and on Salt Cay. Salt remained the main industry of the Turks and Caicos until the 1960s, when falling world prices for that essential commodity fell through the floor. On Salt Cay, the Bermudian Harriott family ran the trade, though it was nationalized in the 1950s, breaking the heart of the family patriarch. Unfortunately, the fashion for organic sea salt was several decades away, for it might have saved the industry on Salt Cay. The islands were taken away from Bermudian control by the British Government and given to the Bahamas until 1848, when the inhabitants asked to be transferred to Jamaica. They remained under the charge of Kingston until 1962, when Jamaica became independent. Such a state of affairs was slated for the Turks and Caicos in 1982, but the decision was turned aside. It remains today, like Bermuda, a British Overseas Territory, of which there are 14 including such exotica as Pitcairn, Tristan da Cunha and the South Sandwich Islands. Of the fourteen, 11 are islands, so the Empire is ending as it began, on remote oceanic islands, Bermuda being the first island inhabited in 1612 and after Jamestown, Virginia, the second British overseas settlement. Having very little in the way of resources at home, Bermudians in the late 1600s began to look overseas for opportunities for trade. Natural salt ponds had been seen in the Bahamas archipelago, including islands in its southern reaches, such as Salt Cay. The sea flooded low-lying areas and when the waters evaporated, natural salt crystals formed. To accelerate the process, Bermudians cut down the primeval forests to heat up Salt Cay, ushering in an early form of global warming on a very local scale. The island today reflects

Heritage Matters 43

A residual mound of salt in the salt storage cellar of the White House. that devastation in its lack of mature trees of any type. Thorny acacia, prickly pear and other vegetation, that like arid conditions now prevailing at Salt Cay, have overtaken mahogany and other West Indies endemics. Salt Cay is an important monument to a vital industry that once supported the Turks and Caicos and put many a pretty penny into Bermuda, which received the profits of the salt taken to Newfoundland for the salting of cod. (Below) Much remains of the saltpans, or Salinas, at Salt Cay, Turks & Caicos Islands.

…About the First Bermuda Books? Part III – ‘Bermuda, A Colony, A Fortress and A Prison or Eighteen Months in the Somers Islands’ by Col. Ferdinand Whittingham Col. Whittingham was stationed in Bermuda in 1855/56 and during his time on the island wrote a 298-page history of Bermuda and Bermudians from a garrison officer’s perspective. In his preface he wrote: Bermuda possesses a three-fold claim to the attention of Britons, – as a colony, a fortress, and a prison. As a colony; it claims interest from its remoteness, the beauty of its scenery, the salubrity of its climate; and also from its having been the earliest colonized of our islands in the western hemisphere. As a naval and military fortress; its value, if not duly appreciated by us will, one day, certainly be so by the Americans. Lastly, as a prison, Bermuda, as the receptacle of our worst convicts, must assuredly possess some degree of interest for every Briton who values the security of his life and property. Col. Whittingham’s comments as to the value of Bermuda as a naval and military fortress to the Americans certainly proved correct, starting with World War I through to the end of the Cold War in the 1990s.

Bermuda Links Courses A traditional ‘Links’ course will have many features such as sandy soil that drains easily, the course is laid out naturally, so that unusual bumps and slopes in the fairways and greens remain, rather than being smoothed over; Trees should not feature much on the course. Fairways should never be watered (except by nature) and the whole course plays firm and fast; landing the ball short of the green is part of the strategy, creating interest and changes depending on weather. The US Open and The Open (often incorrectly referred to as the British Open) are generally played on firm fast surfaces that allow a lot of roll and encourage the use of a running shot onto the desired target. The color on the TV is ‘tweaked’ to make it look green when in actual fact the course is quite brown. So we think that the course should be green when in actual fact what they are watching is quite different to reality. The classical British links courses are coastal strips of land between the beaches and the inland agricultural areas. The course routes out and back. The No. 1 hole begins at the clubhouse and the front nine plays straight out so that No. 9 is farthest hole from the clubhouse; the direction turns back in at No. 10 and the course ends with No. 18 back at the clubhouse this term, in its purest sense, applies specifically to seaside areas in Scotland. Mid Ocean is designed like this which is the traditional way of doing things but makes it impossible to play 9 holes and difficult to manage. Courses today are always designed to be played as 2 loops of 9 holes. So “links land” is land where seaside transitions into farmland. Links land has thin soil, making it unsuited for crops. Such land was often, in times past, thought to be worthless because it was not arable for crops. The sand bunkers are natural (the soil was very sandy, after all). But such bunkers had to be deeply recessed to prevent sand from being blown away by the constant wind. This was part of the redesign of Port Royal. So a true links course is not just any course that is treeless. The term “links” historically applies specifically to strips of land in seaside areas that feature sandy soil, dunes and undulating topography, and where the land is not conducive to cultivated vegetation or trees. So are the courses in Bermuda links courses? Well the answer is Yes and No, it depends on how they are maintained, through the use of excessive watering and poor mowing patterns it is easy to turn them into something else. At Mid Ocean and Tucker’s Point, invasive tree species have been removed, fairways widened to give the poor player opportunity to hit the fairway and the better player more options and strategy. Bunkers should not be flanked by rough but by closely cut grass to allow the ball to continue into the hazard. Over the years trees have been planted and now need to be eliminated to bring back the original design of the golf course. The true beauty of the Links course is that it requires strategy and experience to master the golf course, not just power. Just going for the pin every shot will simply not work. This can be frustrating for anyone that does not understand it, but once you ‘get it’ Links golf is the purest form of golf. Mid Ocean and Tucker’s Point have returned there courses to the authentic links courses they were designed to be and now offer the true links experience that purists will truly appreciate.

GOLF PRO of

the month…

Cornell Bean Golf Pro – Tucker’s Point Golf Club By Simona Terceira Cornell Bean began playing golf at Port Royal Golf Course when he was 8 years old. In 2009 he joined the Tucker’s Point Golf Club. Cornell began his career in the golf business for the love of the game. He now enjoys bringing the game of golf to people who have never played and helping those who play on a regular basis become better golfers. He has been teaching the game to beginners, novice players and experts for the past 29 years. His true enjoyment comes from seeing those individuals succeed in improving their golfing abilities. To date, what are your proudest golf accomplishments? I have been a PGA Match Plays Champion 8 times and am a Bermuda Master Champion. I have represented Bermuda in several competitions; have been in the World Cup qualifying team for Jamaica in 1992 and 1995 and competed for the Dunhill Cup in 1989 and 1990. How would you classify your teaching style and why do you feel it is the best way? In my 29 years of experience I’ve managed to really simplify the way I teach. I like helping the students understand what they are currently doing, why what they are currently doing is a bad thing, what change we are going to make and why we are making it. What is your favourite club in your bag and why? My favorite club is my sand wedge. I practice with it more than I practice with any other club. It is important to understand the mechanics of the sand wedge and the effects it has on your golf ball. You can keep the shot low or hit the ball high and close to the pin. Because of its loft and bounce design, you will even be able to get that backspin on the green that you have searched for in your game. What is your dream foursome? My son Cornell Jr., Tiger Woods and Yani Tseng What are your three top tips for becoming a better golfer? Have a good basic set up, swing your arms and rotate your body. What’s your favourite part about golfing at Tucker’s Point? I love the golf course and its elevations. The 18-hole, par-70 Tucker’s Point Golf Course is Bermuda’s premier golf experience. When you play golf at Tucker’s Point you can use all of the facilities. The spa, pool, beach, golf range and even have breakfast, lunch or dinner at one of the restaurants.

Telephone 441 238-4842 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. NATIONAL MUSEUM OF BERMUDA 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. Its popularity has increased even more with the recent restoration and opening of Commissioner’s House. Elsewhere on the complex, exhibits chronicle both Bermuda’s association with the Royal Navy and its own interesting maritime history. In addition to a collection of Bermuda-made boats, there are relics from the Sea Venture, maps, the famous Tucker Treasure—collected from the sixteenth-century Spanish galleon the San Pedro—and many more artifacts. Open Monday to Sunday 9:30am-4:00pm (last admission 4pm). Adults $10, seniors $8, children under 13 FREE. For further information telephone 441 234-1333.

Largely constructed between 1823 and 1828, this commanding Georgian ‘house’ epitomizes British imperial style, power and engineering wherewithal during the nineteenth century. An experimental building in several regards, Commissioner’s House may have been the first domestic project anywhere to use cast iron to support its floors and roof. Rescued from near dereliction through a protracted, award-winning restoration, the building—one of the most important on the island—now houses exhibits on slavery, history of tourism, Bermuda’s connections with the West Indies and the Azores and Bermuda’s military and seafaring history. Open during regular Museum hours.

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 rowed ashore to Gates Bay, located at the eastern end of St. George’s. ST.
