Spring Break State of Mind Take a moment this month to stop, close your eyes and listen to the sounds around you. Take a deep breath and let a scent take over you. Open your eyes and take note of the sites before you. Spring is in the air, that glorious time of year that disappears as quickly as it arrives. This year, try to enjoy it while it lasts.

March offers mild temperatures and sunny skies on most days, ideal for choosing that perfect patio to host every excuse to get away this summer. It is also a perfect time to secure a good exercise routine in preparation for looking your best when you find your patio match. Inspire yourself or at least test your fitness level by participating in this weekend’s 7th Annual Lindo’s to Lindo’s Run and Walk. There are three categories catering to all fitness levels, so you really have no excuse. A fun walk, a 4-mile competitive walk and a 10k run.

Good Luck! We hope to see you there.

Everyone has Spring Break on his or her minds this month for one reason or another. Whether that ship has sailed and you’re floating in memories or you’re packing your bags and screaming all aboard, Bermuda has some great Spring Break events planned for visitors and locals. See page 5 for details or visit us online for a full March calendar. Turns out Spring Break started in Bermuda back in 1935 and it was all about sun and sport. Read all about it on page 9. Things have certainly changed over the years and they will continue to change in the years to come. I guess that’s why we need to really enjoy things while they last and spend some more time adding to that memory bank.

Behind the Scenes

of Spring Break with Andrew Kirkpatrick By candice dickinson

It’s been just three years since Bermudian Andrew Kirkpatrick and friend Evan Faulkenberry first started filming their favorite summer pastime… cliff jumping.

The first big hit was titled ‘Falling Off the Rock’. With friends, Brian Steinhoff, Dylan Ward, Robert Pantry, James Adams, Jermaine (Pong) Simons, Shane (Turk) Morrissey, Oscar Deuss, Bizbee Wardman and Nick Noviello, they spent many summer days out in their boats jumping from rocks, cliffs and anything else that got in their way. Just last year US Pro Athlete Mike Wilson traveled to Bermuda and worked with Andrew and Evan on a video titled ‘A Trip of a Lifetime, Cliff Jumping in Bermuda’ live on YouTube, has received more than 986, 384 hit, to date and is still counting.

Rumour has it that you recently returned from a two-week tour of over forty university campuses promoting Spring Break 2013/14 in Bermuda.

It all started with the cliff jumping videos. After gaining popularity on YouTube and spreading world wide through social media links, Bermuda Department of Tourism (BDOT) approached me about doing some editing projects for them.

The relationship grew and eventually I began to pitch other ideas. In November I met with Tashae Thompson, Manager, Events & Product Development at BDOT and we went over a number of ideas. We were notified that BDOT was accepting proposals to manage the logistics of the Spring Break initiative for 2013. We put together a full submission including a budget breakdown that includes everything from hosting Spring Break to a two-week promotional tour from Boston to Tampa.

Our proposal was accepted and we visited forty + universities spreading the word and gave presentations to fraternities and sororities.

Wow! Tell us about the trip, how did you reach out to the students and what kind of feedback did you receive?

We arrived in Boston and in two separate cars plastered with the Spring Break in Bermuda logo, four of us traveled across the Eastern seaboard towards Tampa. We hit each university along the way, meeting with fraternities, targeting the big groups. It was difficult to reach key people at some of the universities; we literally had to knock on doors to find the right people. We lucked out having a friend who set us up to present our proposal to 100 sorority girls.

We are confident that Bermuda could again BREAK become a big Spring Break destination.

G N I SPR The students that we met are looking for something new. They expressed being 1,18 9 fed up with hidden costs in packages to 1 E ,1 2 r M 1 I u rTo DAYT Island le/Cave Tou places like Cancun and other Caribbean ’ s u B ung , 20 ‘Par ty J 3 1 ’s destinations. We were told that they had e r e oo uis Tom M eak Boat Cr , 21 4 traveled to other destinations and upon 1 , 7 Br ty – Spring ild’ Pool Par arrival, you receive your package and W then you have to pay additional fees ‘Wet n 0,17 1 n lita E o M 8 p I o T ,1 for events, some as much as $150 each.

T 1 m -1 Cos NIGH Beach r ty’ at e a The students we spoke with liked that h P T t w ’a ‘Glo r Par ty iders - 12,19 , 20 a the Bermuda Spring Break package B h c 3 s 1 k ‘Bea at Doc ht at Cairo included everything up front. There are t’ s e F r ’ Nig ‘Bee y m 1 r 2 2 to , 2 no hidden costs and the drinking age S 14 – 8,15, ‘Dark n Pub Crawl n ta in Bermuda is 18. Additionally BDOT li o a op Pajam t Cosm a offers an incentive, which a lot of people t’ h ig ‘WKD N were pretty excited about. If a student brings 4 friends, they get $400 back. So when we approached the fraternities we broke it down for them. If they bring their whole squad they can potentially get up to $2000 back.

Some students had their trips booked for this year but everyone was very interested in Spring Break in Bermuda in 2014.

Health & beauty The FaceLift of the Future

2013 Spring Makeup Trends

By Willi Lawrence, R.N.

By Hanifah Smith, beauty Specialist

Thermage... This FDA approved procedure is now one of the most popular anti aging treatments being used today. This is accomplished by using controlled radio frequency energy to tighten tissue and increase Collagen production.

Bold Matte Lipsticks add a juicy splash of color. Various shades of red, orange, poppy and pink were spotted all over the runway complimenting the new Spring fashions. Use a matte lipstick formula because bold colors are intense enough and do not need any extra help to have an impact. Matte lipsticks also last longer than cream or satin lipstick. Nyx Matte lipsticks are available in 22 different colors.

With aging, Collagen production slows so skin becomes loose and saggy causing wrinkles and fine lines to develop. Unlike lasers Thermage works on all skin types so patients with darker skin can be treated.

Also known as the Thermalift procedure, patients no longer need to take time off in order to define their jaw line, lift their eyebrows, tighten their neck and reduce wrinkles around their cheeks and mouth. We are the only skin care clinic that offers this physician- only treatment in Bermuda performed by a registered nurse. The machine is only purchased through a plastic surgeon or dermatologist office. We are proud to introduce the latest treatment tips that are larger, faster and more effective than before.

The treatment session can range from 30 to 90 minutes depending on the site being treated.

Thermage for men is becoming the trend for basically the same reasons that women are attracted to Thermage. There is no downtime and the results are very natural. In todays job market there is so much competition especially for high level professionals that a youthful look is becoming as important to men as it is for women. As the word gets out we will see more men taking advantage of this skin tightening opportunity.

Thermage is the only non-invasive procedure that can lift sagging eyebrows, increase prominence of the cheekbones, re-define the jaw line and improve appearance of saggy necks in a single session that can last for years. No surgery, no needles, no downtime!

Golf across the island Is a Professional Fitting Right for You? By paul adams, PGA Director of Golf | Rosewood Tucker’s Point

The average length driver on the PGA Tour is 44 ¾” with a loft of 10.8°. Bubba Watson uses a 44 ½” driver; Luke Donald uses a 43 ½” driver.

I see many players that are buying drivers off the shelf at 46” length. The misconception is that longer drivers go further. It actually is true, BUT only when a player makes good, solid contact. Easier said than done to make good contact with a driver 46” long.

When a player plays with a driver that is too long, it encourages poor posture at impact, and what gain they get from the extra length is more than given away because of poor contact. If you miss the middle of the clubface, the loss of distance is typically 40%. Furthermore, even if someone gains a few yards in distance, they typically give it back in loss of direction.

Maybe we should think like the pros and think about what distance left to the hole after a drive and not just yardage off the tee box. Like putting, getting a driver that encourages solid, consistent contact will help the player to score.

When I conduct a driver fitting, the spin rate for the player being fitted is often too high, as an instructor, I can see that the driver is often too long for the player and as a result they hang back off there right foot to compensate for a driver that was too long. I get them to grip down an inch or two on the driver, which helped them to stay down, make more solid contact, decreasing the spin, which increased the distance. A “professional fitter” would not have understood that so they would have undoubtedly changed shafts or the loft of the driver head.

With the huge increase in getting fitted for equipment or wanting to be fit in the future, the next most important question is; who is going to fit you?

The mistake that I see happening, is that too many people go get fit by a “professional fitter” who is not a PGA Professional Instructor. Fitting is subjective. There is a real art to it, which is instruction. A skilled , experienced teacher can make the determination as to what length club fits a players impact posture, what lie angle matches the players impact plane, what design features gives the player the ball flight, or roll if it was a putter, they were looking for.

If a fitter is just a “fitter”, and not a teacher, they can NOT really make those determinations. Bottom line is that if a player is going to be fitted for any club in their bag, they should be fit by a teacher. If you teach, you can’t teach without fitting golf clubs and if you fit, you can’t fit without teaching. When someone comes to me for there first lesson, I always look at there equipment first. More times than not the fault is in the equipment.

HeritagE MATTERS Eating an Anniversary Pie

By Dr. Edward Harris, M.B.E.

So you can see why some of us have an instinctive wariness about cassava and probably why it has to be, literally, sugarcoated and baked with almost equal amounts of eggs and butter. This makes the basics of cassava pie in Bermuda, which is a Christmas cholesterol time bomb, if you will. Chuck in some chicken or turkey meat and the cassava “pie” tastes almost like pound cake from the Crow Lane Bakery of yesteryear.

It is most fitting that the traditional Bermuda “pie”, eaten at Christmas, is made of cassava, for that plant is a true native of this hemisphere, having originated in what is now western Brazil thousands of years ago.

A couple of years ago, archaeologists Traditional Bermuda Cassava Pie found a garden of cassava that had been buried and preserved under layers of volcanic ash in the Mayan region of El Salvador. The leader of the expedition from the University of Colorado at Boulder, Payson Sheets, declared that “what we essentially found was a freshly planted manioc field that was 1,400 years old”, having been buried by the eruption about 600 A.D. of the Loma Caldera volcano, some 15 miles west of San Salvador.

The discovery is apparently the first archaeological evidence of the cultivation of the calorie-rich cassava tuber in the New World and “manioc’s extraordinary productivity may help explain how the Classic Maya at huge sites like Tikal in Guatemala and Copan in Honduras supported such dense populations”. The Mayas of course were also eating those other great American food inventions, corn (not wheat, but “on the cob” type) and beans, to which may now be added cassava.

While originating in South America, the plant rapidly spread around the world in the 1500s, as the Spanish and Portuguese exported it from their western possessions. Today the largest producer and consumer is Africa south of the Sahara, with Thailand and Vietnam being the greatest exporters of dried cassava to the rest of the world.

Cassava has several alter egos in manioc, yuca, tapioca and mandioca, while for the scientific purists, it is Manihot esculenta, which is as hard to pronounce for some, as it is to taste or eat for others. As I discovered in my youth, cassava, like its cousin, sago, is an acquired taste, better acquired at birth if you wish to enjoy the stuff. However, like it or not, cassava is apparently number 3 on a world list as the greatest source of carbohydrates for human consumption and it can also used as feed for some other animals.

Part of the reason for the unique taste of cassava must be related to the presence of “cyanogenic glucosides” in the leaves and roots of the plant. As a baby, you have little choice when being fed a pabulum of cyanide and if not properly processed, cassava can bring on “konza”, a neurological disease.

However, for some of the “sweeter”, or less toxic varieties, cooking removes most of the cyanide. The shredded root can also be soaked in water, which in sometimes gives off hydrogen cyanide gases!

DO YOU KNOW… … About the Origin of Rugby Week, College Weeks, Spring Break and Bermuda’s Green Ticket?

By Horst Augustinovic

Apparently the tradition of American students going somewhere tropical during spring break began in 1935 when The Bermuda Athletic Association invited Harvard, Yale and Princeton’s rugby teams to come to Bermuda for a friendly scrum, offering the students a $50 travel stipend. The spring break tradition of sun and sport was born. By the 1950’s Rugby Week became known as College Week, and later Spring Break.

In 1948 Life Magazine covered the Bermuda Rugby Week in a cover story proclaiming, “It is one continuous party for 500 US collegians.” Soon Bermuda became an annual springtime playground for elite Ivy Leaguers – and those who hoped to marry them. But by the late 1950s rising college enrollment and affluence allowed the masses to crash the party and the seven days of revelry became known simply as College Week.

According to Life Magazine, the co-eds “got terribly tangled up riding bicycles in the left-hand Bermuda traffic. They got terrible sunburns, and most of them saw little of Bermuda. But for the tourist-conscious Bermudians, Rugby Week was sure to pay off. They can expect to meet at least one fourth of the collegians again – as honeymooners.” Many of them did.

MAY WE RESPECTFULLY SUGGEST THAT YOUR ATTIRE MAY PROVE TO BE EMBARRASSING AS THERE ARE CERTAIN REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO PROPRIETY OF DRESS THAT ARE BEING ENFORCED IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN BERMUDA’S POSITION AS A MOST ATTRACTIVE AND PLEASANT HOLIDAY RESORT. Bermuda’s Green Ticket

But not just short shorts were taboo. So were hair curlers. This calypso was commissioned by the Trade Development Board and supposed to rid Bermuda streets of tourist hair curlers:

In Bermuda, it’s taboo Look out: don’t let the cops catch you.

Keep your curlers out of sight Don’t let ‘em show in broad daylight.

Pretty girls are super fine But no one loves a porcupine …

Constable Robert Wooley measures the length of actress Eunice Gayson’s shorts in this publicity photo taken by the Bermuda News Bureau

As this Bermuda Sun cartoon by John Miles shows, the Bermuda Police was rather uneasy about the annual arrival of College Kids.

During the 1950’s and 1960’s Bermudians and visitors alike were expected to adhere to a strict dress code and students here during college week often came into conflict with that idea. Police Officers were directed to tactfully issue a notice called a ‘Green Ticket’ to anyone they considered to be improperly dressed in public. For example if they felt that the length of a woman’s skirt was too short, or if her shorts were, well - too short!

In 1962 a U.S. newspaper reported that a Hamilton police constable, while measuring a young lady’s shorts, turned ruddy red right up to his helmet when she threw her arms around him and implored, “Henry, let’s get married right away.” And so the Green Tickets were largely ignored and instead became treasured souvenirs to hang on a sorority house wall.

Do You Know... the Book!

From the Island’s first green buses to a notice handed out to scantily clad women here on spring break, Horst Augustinovic’s latest book is filled with a collection of unusual and less widely known, quirky facts of information on Bermuda.

In the Arts

Art matters

Molly Godet Dip. Ad, BA Hons Graphic Design

Women Artists

By Candice Dickinson

Just last year Molly Godet entered a watercolour painting titled ‘Green Man Gombey’ in Bermuda’s Charman Prize and out of 77 other art pieces Molly was awarded $10,000 by local business man and art collector John Charman.

Molly Godet Bermudian, 1949 “In Distress” Admiralty House, c. 2001

watercolour on paper 24” x 36” To be gifted to the Bermuda National Gallery

by Nea Willits

While travelling at the time, Molly heard the news through friends and thought it must be a hoax. She had practically forgotten about entering the show. It was no hoax. The judges commented on her complete mastery of a difficult medium and spoke of the piece as beautifully balanced. This year Molly is featured in the ‘Women Artists In The Bermuda National Gallery Collection’ a series carefully selected from the BNGs permanent collection.

Please tell a little about yourself and when you began to paint.

I am Bermudian but spent my professional life in London. After retiring, I returned to Bermuda about 7 or 8 years ago and started painting. I had never painted before but took up watercolour and now when I am spending time in Bermuda, I paint.

in the Bermuda National Gallery Collection By lisa howie, Director of the bermuda National Gallery

When you enter the Bermuda National Gallery this month, you will be met with a series of large-scale family portraits photographed in the intimate, familial space of living rooms. In the spirit of nineteenth century portraits, which situated the father figure at the centre with symbols of his elite lifestyle, here are reappropriated feminine versions featuring the matriarch, her children and extended family.

Meredith Andrews: Portraits of Power serves as a fitting entry Janet Fish to the Watlington Room in Bowl of Cherries c. 1992, screenprint which we feature Women Arts in the Bermuda National Gallery Collection. As the title indicates, this exhibition presents women artists in the permanent collection, including some significant loans. This is the first rendering of a gender specific exhibition, which some may feel is out-dated, others timely, others wonder why altogether. Here we have an opportunity to consider the narrative that runs as a subtext in the story of art in Bermuda; ‘subtext’ because we concede male artists dominant this and most national collections. Isolating women’s artistic expressions gives space to reflect on technique and subject matter within the context of a genderized dialogue.

Artwork is accepted into the Bermuda National Gallery collection following specific criteria, such as cultural relevancy, artistic excellence and innovation, and how the work is representative of the artist’s vision or concept. The artwork selected for this exhibition has been purposely clustered, albeit by time period or citizenship or form, each shaping a paragraph in the story of how art has developed in Bermuda thanks to these talented women artists.

Join us as we explore the quiet leadership of women artists who have played active roles in challenging the status quo, commercializing art as Bermuda emerged as a tourism destination, educating and inspiring the community and other women artists in particular. Understanding the historical will lend to a detailed address on the strength in voice and expression of contemporary women artists in Bermuda, such as the artwork positioned by Meredith Andrews.

What inspired your current painting featured at the BNG? I paint with the Plein Air Group and I was at Admiralty house or what’s left of it. I was very struck by the poor remaining building, which is sadly government property and seems to be left to collapse as fast as possible. I have a thing for derelict buildings and find them really amazing but this one sort of got to me. I couldn’t really get across how bad it was just by painting it so once I finished painting I then started tearing it, gouging it, running and walking over it trying to really destroy it. It is also presented in a derelict sort of frame.

Where can we find your work on the island this year?

Local galleries including the Arts Centre in the Royal Naval Dockyard, the Bermuda Society of Arts located on Church Street above the Bermuda National Gallery and Windjammer II located in the Fairmont Hamilton Princess.

City Hall & Arts Centre Church Street, Hamilton

Do you have anything in the works for 2013?

When I am in Bermuda I paint usually once a week. I just go to a location and see what I find, so I will be doing something just not sure what yet. I have a few shows coming up that I will create work for, one being at the Windjammer II in April. I will also be featured in a secret location that I can’t mention right now as it will be the first show ever exhibited there.

Our food, service, ambiance and location all make an incredible impact and some of our guests just stay all day. We are full of love here at Bonefish and we want to share it with you!

What’s happening at Bonefish during Spring Break?

Whether you are coming from the cruise ship as a passenger or staff, heading up to Dockyard by ferry, car, scooter, bus, taxi, bicycle, we will be here and we are going to have some fun. Seven days a week, Bonefish restaurant and bar will be open late including the kitchen. On Wednesday nights we have karaoke, Thursday nights live DJs and look out for Salsa Mania, Bonefish is the spot for Salsa dancing. I will be cooking in the kitchen and we will have some great food and drinks for you!

We sampled a variety of dishes made by Livio.

Then he sat down and explained the process of our meal. Our favourites were the seafood sample platter, shrimp with rissotto, ravioli and the RIBS... oh the RIBS.
