FAREWELL george FAREWELL george
After just 5 1/2 years, Bolero Brasserie’s ‘George’ will be leaving us and heading back to Greece. If you have been to Bolero, you know George. His kind nature and warm welcoming smile at the top of the stairs never goes unnoticed and often sets the standard for the rest of your Bolero experience. He will still be around for most of the month of December so stop by, say farewell and wish him luck in his future journeys. If you haven’t been to Bolero, it is a must for lunch, dinner or even a quiet dessert accompanied by a glass of port on the patio over-looking Front Street. George Athanasiadis, originally from Macedonia, (The Greek Macedonia) has been here at Bolero from the very beginning. The restaurant was formally called Tuscany’s. When Jonny Roberts took over he asked George and Nicholas to stay on board. Bolero was born and both are still here with Jonny today. A few questions for George… Tell us about your most memorable times here at Bolero. The Christmas parties, the ones that companies and people have here. It’s always so much fun, everyone is so nice, we have a DJ, sometimes we dance with them. In general when we see people leaving happy after such a good time, it is a great moment. Do you recommend a dish? Foie gras with George’s Jam or another favorite is surf and turf with Guinea Chicks. For dessert I recommend Sticky Toffee pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream. What do you enjoy most about Bermuda? The water, swimming, snorkeling, friends, boats, it’s such a nice quiet life. What are your plans when you go back home? I am going to be an organic farmer. I used to do this job for 6 months; a friend of mine already has a business. I am going to help him expand the business and we will see from there! You never know, I might be back to Bermuda fast.

BUSINESS ha ha
BA HUMBUG by Roger Crombie Christmas is upon us. Don’t panic: it’s still a few weeks away. The best advice I can offer is to book three weeks in the Seychelles, starting on December 15. Failing that, ask your doctor to prescribe something that will put you in a coma for about the same length of time. I’m not a fan of Christmas, although businesses enjoy the added economic activity that the period of good will induces. Some businesses make or break their year with December’s widespread open walletry. The last Christmas in which I participated in the elevation of the consumer economy was seven years ago. I had become engaged to a young American filly, and was invited to her family’s Christmas Day festivities in Virginia. When I explained my reservations, I was assured it would all be very low-key. The family was her Dad, two sisters and a brother-in-law. I’d known them all, on and off, for 30 years, but had never spent Christmas with them. As a guest, I wanted to bring gifts for everyone who’d be there. I undertook what was, for me, an extensive shopping expedition. I find even buying groceries can be a burden, since I lack the shopping gene. I was able to find, nevertheless, something interesting, pleasant and significant for everyone in my soon-to-be family. For my moll, a range of subsidiary items had been purchased for a later, more personal Christmas Day festivity back at her pad. I spent about $100 a head on each of the others, an amount vastly greater than I’d ever spend on myself. It seemed like enough at the time. Little did I know. We gathered at her Dad’s house on the Big Day and I added my gifts to an alarmingly large pile. It wasn’t that there were so many presents under the tree, although there were dozens; it was that several of them were of an extraordinary size and shape. In that house, Christmas was a time for spending real money: not just folding money or plastic, but industrial amounts of moolah delivered by truck or perhaps bus. My presents were opened first. What an honour, I thought. My brotherand sisters-in-law-to-be were all grateful for their boxed CD or DVD sets. My prospective father-in-law opened the enormous book I’d bought him, said “How nice,” and then added: “Now can we open the real presents?” I’d have been offended, but it became immediately apparent that $100 a head had missed the mark by a mile. Among my loot, for example, was a sorcerer’s pipe engraved with the timeless phrase ‘Cromdalf the Grey’. Someone received a hand-carved wooden giraffe, seven feet tall, from Africa. Round upon round of gifts were opened, each more wildly imagined and expensive than the one before. I went from being embarrassed to thunderstruck, to deeply worried that I was marrying into a branch of the Addams Family. My gal threw me over within the year, and I haven’t done Xmas since. Talk about your happy endings.

Welcome to the City of Hamilton It is my honor, as the Mayor, 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’s 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. 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. Last year 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. 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, Par-la-Ville Park and my favorite Victoria Park. Again, welcome to Hamilton, Bermuda at it best. For more information visit www.cityofhamilton.bm.

Her sensual still-lifes isolate the beauty of her native Bermuda’s flora and fauna with graceful precision. Suggestive and rendered in vivid color, pattern and texture, her largescale digital photographs on canvas feature rolling and blooming petals, isolated and enlarged nearly to the point of abstraction. Metaphorically, the images suggest discovery, growth, intimacy, interiors, innocence and transcendental states of mind. “Stop and smell the roses”, her portraits seem to chide, urging the viewer to move more slowly, to look more closely and to drink in the resplendent and restorative power of nature.

Lexy CorrEia Please tell us about your art show on during the month of December. The show is called The Elements. It is a collection in acrylics featuring air, earth, fire and water with an esoteric theme. I have painted Stonehenge, the Moai of Easter Island, crop circles, and constellations for this show. It opens on December 8th at the Art Centre in Dockyard and runs until January 2012. There will be aprox 23 pieces. Tell us about the commissions you do that donate partial proceeds to the S.P.C.A. I do animal portraits and 10% is donated to the S.P.C.A. I have a few on my website and there is also lots of information on how to commission me to create them. www.artoflexy.com
You were in this year’s Charman Show. Tell us a little more about that painting, where the idea came from, etc. I was inspired by the song released last year, “Proud to be Bermudian”. The painting features two inter-racial children smiling and waving a Bermuda flag. I plan to have bags, t-shirts, etc. created with the image and all proceeds go towards the art programs in public schools. We can’t

25 depend on the government to do everything. They have had to drop a lot of things because of the way the economy is going. I feel the arts are too important to cut back on so I want to do my part to help. Once I find some sponsors to get this going, it will be implemented.
What do you see for the future in arts here in Bermuda? I think Bermuda could be an art destination and I’m even working on an annual artists’ retreat to start in 2013. I belong to a group, BARU and we have talked about doing a big show and having a set price for everything, such as $100 for any piece in the show. It’s a chance for lesser known artists to get their name out there. It would create an opportunity for the average person to start their art collecting and really get a feel for what they like. Do you have anything special planned for the future? I have wanted to move into oils but was looking for a technique that suited the direction my work is going in, which is in the Surreal

26 and Visionary genres. I discovered Mische, which is a slow and complex painting technique that gives better effects of depth, transparency and a smoothness of colours and contours not seen in other painting techniques. Illusionistic effects are enhanced by the many glazing layers that alternate between oil and egg tempura emulsion. Mische was lost and then revived by years of research by Prof. Ernst Fuchs who mentored Prof. Phil Jacobson, who is now my mentor. I will study under him early next year and I am tremendously excited about this! You and your husband have a few exciting companies, please tell us a little about them and what kind of services you offer.

HeritagE MATTERS by Dr. Edward Harris, MBE
Floating dock Bermuda being careened; inset, in operation with vessel within.
Bermuda’s Floating Docks At the end of the first decade of the 1800s, all the families on Ireland Island were removed from homes they had occupied for nigh on two hundred years for the creation of a ‘dockyard’ for the Fleet of the Royal Navy in the western North Atlantic. A dockyard is so named because it has an industrial ‘yard’ with workshops and a ‘dock’ for repairing ships and thus a drydock, a basin in the land, was needed. The local rock was inappropriate for a normal drydock and so the British invented an iron ‘floating dry-dock’ in the 1860s. The first such ‘Floating Dock’, Bermuda, was the largest piece of ironmongery ever made and it could accommodate any ship then afloat. It was designed specifically to give the Bermuda Dockyard a drydock at long last. Over a hundred years, the Bermuda Dockyardard had five floating docks: HM Floating Dock Bermuda (1869–1908); Admiralty Floating Dock 1 (1902–1946); AFD 28 (1941–1946); AFD 5 (1946–1951) and AFD 48 (1946–1972). AFDs 28 and 48 were small, while the other three were all the largest in world. After launching in September 1868, Bermuda was towed across the Atlantic via the Azores in 33 days. The lead ship from the Azores was HMS Warrior, appropriately the world’s first iron-hulled warship towing the first

29 iron dry-dock. Bermuda was sold for scrap and ‘towed out of Camber by the Stm. Tug Gladesfin, Stm. Tug Powerful behind on Monday the 9th March 1908 at 2.30 p.m.—to Spanish Point to complete breaking up’. Her bones and the two end caissons lie in that bay to this very day. AFD 1 was the replacement for the Bermuda. Shortly after arrival in 1902, the dock successfully raised HMS Dominion, which at 17,500 tons was several thousand tons over the capacity. After lifting 100 ships in 1945 alone, AFD 1 was sold to Regusci y Voulminot Ingenieros at Montevideo, Uruguay, one of the largest and most important harbours in South America. The dock left Bermuda in December 1946, after half a century of sterling duty. AFD 5 arrived in Bermuda in 1946, but had to be moored in Port Royal Bay, for berthing arrangements in the South Basin were not yet completed, including two 80 ft. booms, ‘the largest welding job ever done in Bermuda’. The dock had twice the lifting capacity of AFD 1, which it replaced. On 25 August 1948, it was towed from Port Royal by the tugs Justice and Eminent to the wharf in the South Basin, there to work for a mere three years. In 1951, AFD 5 was taken to Falmouth, England, where it served until 1966, when it was bound for the United States, but broke in half and sank 800 miles into the Atlantic. Its last job was to dock a floating dock acquired from Germany after the war. AFD 28 was the first of two small docks that were at the Dockyard and it had been sent from the United States for the duration of the Second World War. Arriving in late December 1941, it left the island in the summer of 1946, but sank on the passage home. AFD 48 replaced AFD 28 at the North Basin wharf in late 1946 and was there employed for the next 26 years. It was sunk to the west of Dockyard in August 1972, ending its life, as did the first dock, Bermuda, as a shipwreck.

DO YOU KNOW… by Horst Augustinovic
The only known copy of the Royal Gazette published on January 8th, 1828
… About the Beginnings of the Royal Gazette? The strained relations between Governor John Hodgson and Charles Rollin Beach, publisher of Bermuda’s first newspaper The Bermuda Gazette at the time, led to Mr. Beach leaving Bermuda in 1924. His departure left Bermuda without a newspaper. In fact Governor Hodgson was so displeased with Mr. Beach that as early as 1809 he brought Edmund Ward to Bermuda to start a rival newspaper to The Bermuda Gazette. This was to become the first Royal Gazette. Unfortunately Edmund Ward run afoul of the next Governor, Sir James Cockburn, who removed his commission as ‘King’s Printer’ in 1816 and forced Mr. Ward to return to Halifax where he continued to publish a newspaper. This brought an end to Bermuda’s first Royal Gazette and it

Donald McRhee Lee who published the Royal Gazette for 55 years
would be another twelve years before the present Royal Gazette started publication in 1828. It was the next Governor, Sir William Lumley, who authorized a onetime payment of £500 to bring Donald McPhee Lee as “Printer to the King’s Most Excellent Majesty” to Bermuda. Donald McPhee Lee was born in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, in 1804. Robert Lee, his father, was Commissary General with the military and stationed in Bermuda. It seems that he successfully put forward his son’s name as ‘King’s Printer’ following the turbulent period of Sir William Lumley. Having embarked at Halifax on October 29th, 1827 in the Bermuda schooner Sally Ann, his eleven-week voyage to Bermuda was a harrowing experience to say the least. The Captain of the Sally Ann became blind, the mate was illiterate and could not navigate, and the Sally Ann was painted in a colour used by pirates, with the result that passing ships refused any help. Captain W.E. Meyer tells the story of this trip in some detail in his book ‘Wrecked on the Bermudas’. With Donald McPhee Lee missing for months and presumed dead, his brother David Ross Lee produced the first two issues of the Royal Gazette on January 8th and 15th, 1828. Once Donald McPhee Lee arrived, he produced the third issue on January 22, in a larger four-page format, using the new type he had brought from Halifax. He continued to publish the Royal Gazette for the next 55 years, until just two weeks before his death in 1883. It is interesting that the very first issue of the Royal Gazette included the following promise that ‘The pages of the Royal Gazette will never be profaned by the scandals of private malice or the bitterness of party contention; but will be devoted to extracts from the most approved literature of the day and to the best original compositions that can be obtained within the Colony’.

Making the Game More Fun? The USA golf market lost 1 million golfers between 2009 and 2010. While there are an estimated 27 million golfers remaining in the game, the PGA of America and other industry allies hope to grow this number to 40 million by 2020. The National Golf Foundation has offered a list of suggestions for taking the pressure off of golfers to make the game more fun. I am all about fun, but some of these might make Old Tom Morris roll over in his grave.
•
Not keep score. (I can live with this one – new golfers shouldn’t worry about their score.) • Play from the shortest tees or start from the 150-yard marker. (I’m ok with this one too!) • Give yourself a better lie by rolling the ball around a little. (My foursome plays this rule every weekend.) • Tee the ball up anywhere. (Another one of my foursomes favorites – make sure you park the cart between your ball and your fellow competitor to get the most out of this idea!) • Only count swings when you actually make contact with the ball. (Wait a minute. Was the NGF Representative playing with my group when he came up with these?) • Throw the ball out of a bunker after one try. (Yep, he absolutely was playing with my group) • Forget about a ball that may be lost or out of bounds. (That’s right! As long as I have more ammo in the bag, just reload and fire away!) • Drop a ball where you think it might be … or where you wanted it to be. (Wow – this one may be taking fun to the extreme!) • Just chip and putt on a hole when you feel like it. (I would add a good throw if you like!) • Pick up in the middle of the hole and enjoy the scenery of the great outdoors. (Don’t forget to load the cooler and picnic basket!) • Skip a hole, eat your lunch, have a cool drink, or just relax if you need a break. (Forget the previous comment. This one has it covered.) • Play any number of holes and call it a round of golf: three, six, nine, and twelve. (Not a terrible idea, but maybe we should include only playing the even or odd holes.) • Move your ball away from trees, rocks or very hilly lies. (Best one yet! Give me a clear shot with no chance of breaking a club and I am golden!) • Play golf in your sneakers. Be comfortable! (Bring along a lounge chair and your MP3 Player!) • Get enthusiastic! High fives, fist pumps and big smiles are encouraged. (Nothing needs to be said on this one!) • Play golf just for fun! (They could have skipped the previous 15 ideas and this one would have covered it all!) Take a friend to the course! Have fun and remember it’s just a game!

DOCKYARD to ST. GEORGE’S
Dockyard and Western Parishes Dockyard Visitor Information Center Royal Naval Dockyard At The Dockyard Visitor Information Center (VIC) you will find everything you need to have a “Bermudaful” day. Conveniently located adjacent to the Cruise Ship Pier, Bus and Ferry stop, we offer up to date information on transport, local events, attractions and tours. Our friendly staff is on hand to assist you with local knowledge on where to go and what to do. Public Transport passes, wifi, phone cards, and tour tickets are available for purchase. 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 Saturday 9:30am-4:00pm (last admission 4pm). Adults $10, seniors $8, children under 13 FREE. For further information telephone 441 234-1333. COMMISSIONER’S HOUSE National Museum of Bermuda, Royal Naval Dockyard Located within the confines of the National Museum of Bermuda, Commissioner’s House dominates this complex and entire surroundings from its elevated position. 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

CHEF
of the month
Lito Laigue Harbourfront Restaurant Harbourfront is definitely a favorite spot for lunch, dinner and sushi happy hour!!! It is harbourside with a quaint view of boats and Bermuda homes. The view perfectly, picturesque… Lito has been at Harbourfront for 9 years and is a sushi chef. He let me follow him behind the scenes and I watched him make their famous Togarashi Roll – my lips are sealed on the ingredients. A few questions for Lito… Where are you from Originally? Manila in the Philippines What do you like most about Harbourfront and the years you have spent working here? I love making sushi and I really enjoy working with the fellow staff. I also make the sushi at Miles Market so I go there every afternoon. If you don’t see what you like in the selection you can always ask for me and if I am there I will be happy to make you something. Just ask for Lito! What do you like most about Bermuda and living here on the Island?Fishing, swimming, horseshoe beach and I like going out in the evenings to Café Cairo. I also like to go for brunch at Fourways on Sundays. Do you have a signature sushi roll or special dish that you like to prepare?I like when customers ask me to serve them my own creation. I usually make a special roll with spicy salmon on the inside and avacado on the outside. What are your plans for the future? I would like to have my own Japanese restaurant in Manlia.

THE Togarasshi Roll!
Spicy Tune, Special, Sauce & Tempura Crunch... SUGGESTED WINE: Cloudy Bay, Savignon Blanc Wine Spectator 92 points “Tangerine, mango and citrus flavors are pure and focused, smooth, round and wonderfully refreshing, with peach, Key lime pie, mineral and floral elements that really take off on the finish.� Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2010 has fresh acidity and displays a lovely spectrum of Sauvignon Blanc flavours and aromas. Zingy lime / grapefruit citrus, ripe tropical characters and delicate floral / herbal notes meld on the nose and palate. A small portion of barrel ferment adds weight and texture to the wine, nicely balanced by a mineral acid backbone. It is a wine of vibrant intensity and elegance.... and thoroughly refreshing.

It Isn’t Just Bermuda’s Sun and Sand The World Loves.
Thanks to seven generations of patient distilling and blending methods, Gosling’s rums are widely regarded around the world, but alas, not widely available. So there are many unique treasures to explore and savor in Bermuda, and these are three of them: Our flagship Black Seal Rum, our newest, Gold Rum and our absurdly slowly made, Old Rum.
Gosling’s Rums. The Spirit of Bermuda. Excessive alcohol consumption may be harmful to your health.

‘J’ Jimenez
Port O Call Restaurant
Next time you stop in for a drink at Port O Call on Front Street have a look behind the bar and you might catch a glimpse of J, working his magic. A graduate from the New York Bartending School, J has made an appearance at establishments such as the Jimmy’s Bronx Cafe, Club Red, Webster Hall and now Bermuda’s own Port O Call. Not only is J a talented bartender, he is also a certified plumber, a die hard 49ers fan and most importantly he is a father to his beautiful little boy Logan. Everything he does is for Logan.

Harry’s Restaurant owner Will Cox, son of Harry Cox, today has 50 gallons of this special rum in his back yard, aged just for Harry’s Restaurant. You won’t find it anywhere else in the world. Stop by and have a glass.

WINE SUGGESTIONS BY Quin-Sae A. Smith | Gosling’s on page 86
with Barry Cohen Joy of Christmas
I love to eat at Christmas time. All of my favorite foods are on the table, piping hot, ready to be eaten. Family and Friends are gathered around, ready to dig into the ”Bermudaliciousness” that awaits. With everything going on in the world: war, protests, unemployment, taxation, debt crisis, housing problems, unemployment, and poverty, just to name a few, let’s make this Holiday season a period of escapism. Let’s leave it all behind us and celebrate the great things we have going on in our lives. Let’s work to make this Holiday season your best ever! Here are couple of my favorite recipes to bring your celebration from ordinary to astonishing! I hope you enjoy. Christmas Dinner Stuffed Bermuda Rockfish
12 ounces dry stuffing mix 2 tablespoons Goslings Black Seal Rum 1 cup loose-pack frozen corn kernels 2 pounds whole rockfish, cleaned and 1/2 cup golden raisins gutted 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 2 onion, peeled and sliced 1/2 cup white wine 2 orange, sliced
Combine stuffing mix, corn, raisins, walnuts, wine and rum in a bowl; mix well. Let stand for 1 hour. Rinse fish and pat dry; place on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Spoon stuffing into cavity of fish. Layer half the onion and orange over stuffing; close fish and secure with skewers. Arrange remaining onion and orange over fish. Seal aluminum foil and make a slit to vent. Heat grill. Cook fish over hot coals for 45 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve hot. Or Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. Makes 8 servings. SUGGESTED WINE
Kendall- Jackson Avant Chardonnay: (Wine Enthusiast 90 point rating) Avant bursts with intriguing layers of fresh pineapple, bright green apple, crisp Meyer lemon, juicy pear and wildflowers. The wine’s refreshing acidity and sleek mineral notes are balanced by a rounded mid-palate and slight oakiness with a long, pure fruit finish. Retails: $20.50 WHAT’S COOKING BERMUDA CAN BE VIEWED ON:
