Letter from the
Editor
Simona, Natalie & Candice
Welcome to Bermuda! March is one of the best times of the year to visit Bermuda and for us islanders who are here year round, well, we already know the advantages of spring on the rock. The temperate weather is perfect for beach bathing, Sunday brunching, champagne picnics, patio lunches, weekend boating, wreck diving, art gallery mingling, ocean view dining, wine tasting, spring flingin… it’s no wonder Bermuda’s new slogan is... Bermuda so much more. We really do have it all and that is exactly why you are finally here. Did you know that Bermuda is the home of some very talented Women in the Arts? Read more about it in our Art Matters section. In our Shopping section learn about Bermudian artist Alexandra Mosher and her beautiful Reef Collection inspired by the boiler reefs on Bermuda’s famous picturesque South Shore. If you haven’t heard of Gosling’s Rum you will probably be packing a few bottles for your trip home by the time you leave. In our History section read about one of the ancestors of the Gosling’s family who was elected mayor of St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador in 1916. In our Eat & Drink section read why Bonefish Bar & Grill is worth the trip to Dockyard and where the best place on South Shore is to have brunch. What is there to do after brunch? Why not do some beach bathing on one of our beautiful South Shore beaches. In our Calendar of Events we have outlined a selection of events that might be of interest to you. Additionally, you can visit us at thisweek.bm for more exciting content, event information, etc. Have a question? Feel free to write us an email info@twib.bm, we would love to hear from you!

BERMUDA haha Sleep is for the Dead? By Roger Crombie
Sleep takes up about a third of our lives. In the dark months of mid-winter, sleeping is a way of staying warm and passing the time. In summer, sleep can prove fitful in places like Bermuda, without industrial air conditioning. When you’re young, no one tells you how life will unfold. Or perhaps they do, but you just don’t listen. No one told me that sleep follows a definite pattern over the average life. There isn’t much you can do about it: maybe that’s why no one mentions it. First, a word about sleeping pills: don’t. What if the Olsen twins were to pop round while you’re zonked into oblivion, looking for a hug and what have you. You’d prefer to be awake for that, wouldn’t you? Here is the sleep pattern of your life. As a teenager and into your 20s, you sleep, on average, about 12 hours a day. Weekends, 18. Man, do I remember those times fondly. On one famous occasion, my mother woke me around noon to say that a pal was on the phone. “Tell him I’ll meet him at the Ritz at 4 o’clock,” I apparently said, although I never had the faintest recollection of saying it. My pal wasn’t thrilled: he got all dressed up and travelled quite some distance to be there. I stayed asleep. You spend almost as much time in bed in your 30s and 40s, although less time sleeping. In case children are reading this, let’s call it ‘cuddling’. It’s fun. In fact, at this stage of life, ‘cuddling’ becomes the top priority for men. Women sometimes ‘cuddle’ just for the actual cuddling, if you catch my drift. Then come your 50s and 60s. Some people continue to sleep at this age the way they did as teenagers, and good luck to them. For most of us, however, life after 50 is really one long bout of insomnia. A good night’s sleep is a couple of three-hour bursts, plus a nap at your desk when no one’s looking. Samuel Pepys, the 17th-century diarist, wrote of a ‘first sleep’ and a ‘second sleep’, each about four hours long. In between, Pepys would get up and eat a whole hog, or a pair of sheep, or some equally unlikely vast meal. Not much has changed, except that today’s sexagenarians (lovely word, that) chow down on a dry biscuit and a glass of water before going back to sleep. We don’t allow ourselves any fun these days, plus a whole hog every day between naps can become expensive. Beyond about 70, I’m told, sleep comes 20 minutes at a go, and then only when you have something better to do. I like it when old people fall asleep when I’m talking to them, because you can then watch them pretend to be following a conversation they ducked out on 10 minutes earlier. Finally comes one’s eternal rest, although I suspect the departed are awake 24/7, watching your every move. Think about that the next time you’re ‘cuddling’. 10 This Week in Bermuda | March 2013

Art Matters Women Artists
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 re-appropriated feminine versions featuring the matriarch, her children and extended family. Meredith Andrews: Portraits of Power serves as a fitting entry to the Watlington Room in 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.
Janet Fish Bowl of Cherries c. 1992, screenprint
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.

In the Arts Molly Godet Dip. Ad, BA Hons Graphic Design By Candice Dickinson
Just last year Molly Godet entered a water colour 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. 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. 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 22 This Week in Bermuda | March 2013
In the Arts 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.
Monday-Saturday | 10:00am - 4:00pm Sunday 11:00am – 4:30pm museum is accessible with ramps and an elevator.
The Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art is home to an impressive collection of over 1,200 pieces of Bermuda inspired art; some by such famous names as Georgia O’Keeffe, Winslow Homer and Albert Gleizes. The museum shop sells prints and original local art, a perfect keepsake to take home! To learn about Bermuda’s culture and history there is no better stop on your vacation itinerary.
Located in the beautiful Botanical Gardens, five minutes from Hamilton, the museum is on three major bus routes (1,2 & 7) and is clearly signposted from all entrances.

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 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. 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. www.thisweek.bm 23
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. 24 This Week in Bermuda | March 2013
glimpses of
Bermuda’s History The Authority of a Silver Paddle By Dr. Edward Harris, M.B.E
Among the long abiding symbols of regal, parliamentary and legal authority stands the ‘mace’, a symbolic piece of metalwork that takes its origins from the ancient war club, which usually had a flanged or spiked head. With the passage of time, a mace became ‘a staff borne before or by certain officials as a symbol of office’, and so it is with Bermuda’s ‘Silver Oar of the Admiralty Court’. That mace is sometimes carried before the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in Bermuda, at the start of the Assizes, which mark the beginning of the court sessions for the year. Bermuda’s Assizes mace, however, was originally intended for another legal purpose, that of the convening of a Court of Vice Admiralty, which had jurisdiction over matters relating ships and the sea, particularly in time of war. After 1875, the role of the Admiralty Court at Bermuda was vested in the Supreme Court, which has had but a few reasons to convene for the purpose of a maritime adjudication. Hence Bermuda Silver Oar has had only an occasional use as a symbol of the ancient authority of the Admiralty, the administrators of the Royal Navy, as such matters were usually dealt with in London courts. When not in ceremonial use, the Chief Justice has decreed that the Silver Oar will be on display from time to time at the National Museum of Bermuda in appropriate exhibitions. The Bermuda Oar is the oldest such mace in existence for British Dependent Territories and former overseas dominions; later examples survive at Colombo, Cape Town, New York and Boston. The London goldsmith, Anthony Nelme, made the Oar in 1697 and on one side of the “paddle” are the arms of William III and a foul anchor. The other side has a “scrollwork cartouche having a circular centre” with the arms and insignia of Colonel Benjamin Bennett, Vice Admiral and Governor of Bermuda, but those insignia were later covered with a plain Silver disc. It has been noted that “the Oar was sent out as the Mace of the Vice-Admiralty Court, but Governor Bennett who arrived in 1701 to correct lawlessness and a weak administration, used it in the absence of any other token of legal supremacy, and it became the ceremonial mace of the Island Council”.

Heritage Matters Eating an Anniversary Pie By Dr. Edward Harris, M.B.E.
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 found a Traditional Bermuda Cassava Pie 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 calorierich 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 Samuel DeCruz and Valerio Ausenda shredding cassava.

Heritage Matters
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! 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.

Do You Know... … About William Gilbert Gosling – a Bermudian in Newfoundland and Labrador? By Horst Augustinovic
William Gilbert Gosling was born in Bermuda in 1863 to Charles Gray Gosling and Elizabeth Gilbert. The second of six sons, William attended Pembroke Grammar School and in 1881 moved to St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador to work as a clerk for a fish exporting firm. Shortly after arriving in Canada, William Gosling met his future wife Armine, headmistress of a Girls’ School in St. John’s. In his leisure hours he loved reading. “I find it helps me a lot in my work,” he told his wife. “It takes my mind off business troubles.” Thus began his life-long passion for books and book collecting. In 1899 he published his first literary work, an article about William Shakespeare’s The Tempest. The nine guineas he earned he reinvested in his evergrowing collection of books. He had become especially interested in rare and first editions, though he could seldom afford them.
William Gilbert Gosling
In 1906, William Gosling helped revive the Newfoundland Historical Society and became involved in historical writing. In 1910 he published ‘Labrador: its Discovery, Exploration, and Development’, which is an authoritative source to this day. In 1909, William Gosling became secretary of the Newfoundland Board of Trade, and its president in 1913.
Armine Gosling, best known for her involvement in the women’s rights movement and her community work, especially the Society for the Protection of Animals and the Child Welfare Association of Newfoundland.
William Gosling is best remembered for his contributions to the public life of St. John’s where he led a fundraising effort to rebuild the Anglican Cathedral, which had been destroyed by fire and in 1914, when the Newfoundland legislature replaced the local elected council in St. John’s with an appointed commission, he became its chairman, instituting a range of reforms, including water and sewage services and legal proceedings against tax evaders. In 1916 he was elected mayor of St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, a position he held until 1920. He accomplished much during his term as mayor of St. John’s – public housing was begun and female property owners were given the right to vote.
28 This Week in Bermuda | March 2013
Do You Know In 1927, William Gosling and his wife Armine returned to Bermuda, where he died in 1930. His wife later donated his large collection of books to the people of St. John’s to form the town’s first public library, now the Gosling Memorial Library.
The title page of the 574page book by W.G. Gosling, which covers the history of Labrador from the Norsemen’s visits of well over 1,000 years ago to the boundary dispute with Canada in the 19th century. It is still considered the most authoritative history of early Labrador today.

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.

Miraculously, all on board survived the disaster and rowed ashore to Gates Bay, located at the eastern end of St. George’s. ST.

ST. PETER’S, Their Majesties Chappell 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 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. Open Mon. - Sat. 10am-4pm. 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 and has been home to the St. George’s Historical Society since 1920.

Open Tues-Sat 10am-3pm. Admission $4. 297-4126. CORPORATION OF ST. GEORGE Town of St. George Town Hall, the handsome building commanding King’s Square and 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 buildings. Erected around 1620 by Governor Nathaniel Butler, the State House is open to the public 10am-4pm on Wednesdays only. (10 - 2 May 1 - Oct 31) 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. Outside viewing only. The structure is unsafe – please heed the warning signs. 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 & MUSEUM 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. The present, completely restored structure, dates from the mid-nineteenth century and is home to fascinating exhibits including military guns and weapons. 75% of the fort is wheelchair accessible. Open Mon-Fri 10:00am-4:00pm.

Open Saturday 10:00am-4:00pm. ST. DAVID’S LIGHTHOUSE Mount Hill, St. David’s Constructed of Bermuda stone, this 55-foot structure is one of two local lighthouses.

Livio Ferigo
Bonefish bar & grill By Candice Dickinson
If you can imagine eating a spoonful of Italian passion with a twist of love then consider yourself a step closer to what you will experience when you visit Bonefish in Dockyard and meet Livio Ferigo. Livio will be in the kitchen personally cooking for you each Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday during the month of March. Livio is an incredible chef and awesome host. With 20+ years under his belt and having owned restaurants in Bermuda since he was just 24 years old, this is the real deal. Keep your eyes on the look out for Livio making his rounds ensuring everyone is happy while he spreads some love around his room to each and every table. The girls at TWIB made the trip to Dockyard to bring you a sneak peek at what you can expect when you visit! Why is Bonefish worth the trip to Dockyard? At Bonefish we offer the complete dining and entertainment experience. Visitors and residents alike feel at home when they are here and we make sure that they won’t forget us when they leave. This attention to each of our guests makes for many, many repeat visits. 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 is your favourite dish to cook? I love to cook risottos and pastas but here in Dockyard, fish and ribs are very popular. Spare ribs are the best. We have a smoker outside and we smoke our ribs for about 12 hours, then steam and BBQ them. Besides people knowing me for my Italian food they can also come out here for a true Texan experience. Just this past year you were invited to a celebrity Chef event in the United States, please tell us what it was all about and a little of what you experienced. I was invited to the Greenbrier Resort, White Sulphur Springs in West Virginia to cook alongside a selection of renowned Chefs who have been featured on Top Chef and Iron Chef. The event was part of the 2012 Certified Angus Beef ® Annual Conference. Each Chef was assigned to a hotel from September 19 – 21, 2012 and had the task of creating a menu and executing the dishes to perfection. It was a fantastic experience.
