This Week
LETTER FROM THE MAYOR OF HAMILTON THE WOR. MR. CHARLES GOSLING 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. 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. 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-laVille Park and my favorite, Victoria Park. Again, welcome to Hamilton, Bermuda at it best. For more information visit www.cityofhamilton.bm.

BERMUDA haha BERMUDA ha ByhaRoger Crombie Filthy Rich... Every now and then, I wonder what I’d do if I were rich. Seriously rich. Filthy rich. There’s the obvious stuff: big, and I mean big, pile in the country, in a few countries, plus a mansion in Tuckers Town and apartments in London, New York City, Toronto and a couple of other places. Cars; a small personal jet; a vault full of treasure like Scrooge McDuck. A gold watch that you look at to tell the time once and then throw away. A reservation for every room in whatever hotel one might choose to stay in. Stuff like that. Ooh, and owning a football team. Rich people have staff. If I were appallingly rich, I’d have to have staff, I suppose. Keeping track of my ridiculous spending habits would require people. Others would have to be awake in the morning to go shopping for stuff I might require, such as two each of every Ben & Jerry flavour, or a copy of every CD ever made. I’d have staff at home, too. A valet (rhymes with ‘mallet’), obviously, a man of enormous discretion and taste. He would take care of my clothing, appointments, etc. and simultaneously use his enormous intellectual powers to solve any small problems I might run into that an overnight bag full of cash couldn’t solve. A few dozen people ought to be able to look after the laundry and kitchen aspects of my life. The only requirement would be that they look like air stewardesses and have extraordinarily loose morals. What’s that, Officer? Sexism? No, thanks. I’m against it. I’d employ a fellow to stand around. I’d have a little space built into each of the walls of my many living rooms, so that he could stand around unobtrusively until I needed something: a light for my cigarette, an opponent for backgammon, or just someone to kick if the news were especially bad. I believe such a man is called a footman. I can see having a footman; he could also attend to one’s pediatric needs. But what you wouldn’t want is an under-footman, because he’d just get in the way. Drivers. Advisors. Chefs. Beauticians. Aestheticians. Pilots. Babes. Someone to carry loose change in case it’s ever needed — she could do overtime as the comb carrier. Someone to do all the tedious googling and twittering. A writer, obviously, to do my work. I’d be a one-man industry. Think of the jobs I’d create if I just had a few lousy billion dollars. Is that so much to ask? Come on, someone, rich me up. One of you insurance types. Anyone? The tragic truth, of course, is that I am already rich. Not rich enough to need staff or extra houses, or really want them lurking about. But I can make ends meet. The even sadder truth is that I don’t really want to be any richer. I have what I need and a little of what I want. Can’t ask for more.

ART IN THE COMMUNITY WINDJAMMER II GALLERY May 18 - 31, Fairmont Hamilton Princess Hotel “Reflections on the Past” is a solo show featuring the newest works by Christopher Grimes, our former artist in residence. These works are all oils on canvas and panels. Info & Admission: Free, tel 441 295 1783, email windjammer2@logic.bm Re-Interpreting the European Collection Bermuda National Gallery, 1st Floor, City Hall & Arts Centre, 17 Church Street, City of Hamilton In this exhibition, eight local and international artists were invited to respond to an historical artwork of choice. These artists include: James Cooper, Louisa Flannery, Charlie Godet Thomas, Titus Kaphar, Sunell Lombard, Lynn Morrell, Alan C. Smith and Sharon Wilson. By reinterpreting the artwork in the contemporary moment, these artists provide another layer of meaning to the original pieces; they bring their own histories and perspectives to historical artworks that may well be far removed from their pasts. These new artworks shape a new context for dialogue, using symbols and technology, for example, to comment on today’s society. The exhibition also features a film created by local artist Milton Repose, which itself interprets the process of the exhibition, thus adding an additional layer of meaning. Bermuda National Gallery Director, Ms. Lisa Howie states, “This synergy of meaning purposefully moves away from a single, curatorial narrative, which fits with the Bermuda National Gallery’s core value of collaboration. Capturing diverse perspectives simultaneously is important to the vision of the Gallery as it moves toward greater inclusivity.” Gallery Hours: Gallery Hours: 10:00am – 4:00pm (Monday – Friday); 10:00am – 2:00pm (Saturday).

New Acquisition Highlights 2007-2011 Bermuda National Gallery, 1st Floor, City Hall & Arts Centre, 17 Church Street, City of Hamilton This exhibition highlights many of the artworks acquired by the Bermuda National Gallery in the last four years. Central to the mission of the Bermuda National Gallery is to build a collection of artwork for the community, which reflects Bermuda’s heritage, internationalism, and artistic progress. Communicating who we are across time is central to this. In order to realise this community relevance, the Bermuda National Gallery is indebted to the support of the many art donors and artists who have given generously while recognising the significance of this collections’ growth. Here visitors will see artworks from early portraiture to contemporary photography, as well as ceramics, craft, textiles, and sculpture. Selections for the artwork undergo a rigorous assessment, ultimately ensuring the artwork’s positioning to community relevancy. Bermuda National Gallery Chairman, Gary L. Phillips, OBE, states, “In many ways, everything we aspire to stems from our collection, which has grown exponentially in the last few years. This exhibition provides opportunity to express our gratitude to those who have donated or assisted with acquisitions, as well as inform the community of our progress.” Gallery Hours: 10:00am – 4:00pm (Monday – Friday); 10:00am – 2:00pm (Saturday).

Patterson ‘Out & Bad’ Bermuda National Gallery, 2nd Floor, City Hall & Arts Centre, 17 Church Street, City of Hamilton This exhibition explores an area of popular culture, specifically examining the identity of a powerful demographic in the island context, young black men. Ebony G. Patterson’s artwork is very much a reflection on the ways in which young black men shape their identities within the Jamaican dancehall culture, and in this reflection she posits the question: How do these young men craft their masculinity?

Weight - Loss Secrets From Around the World By Simona Terceira
1. THAILAND – DO IT THAI STYLE How many Thai over weight people do you see? Try adding some heat to you next meal. Research has shown that the spicy substance may trigger protein changes in the body that cause weight-loss and fight fat storage. 2. PAKISTAN – Try fasting once in a while Islam encourages periodic fasting- no food or drink from sunrise to sunset. Although experts don’t recommend fasting for weight control, fasting is one of the most effective ways to cut calories and lose body fat. 3. INDIA – Eat Curry, Be thin Turmeric may turn out to be a potent fat fighter. Researchers say that to use turmeric as a dietary supplement a dose of 1,5 teaspoons each day seems to be the ideal dose. 4. ROMANIA - Munch more pickles Romanians like things pickled- and not just cucumbers but bell peppers, cabbage, watermelon and tomatoes. These tart treats can help keep you thin, probably because of the vinegar that pickles them. 5. JAPAN – USE color Use the Rainbow Diet. Count colors not calories to lose weight. Colorful foods you eat can make the difference between success and failure regarding weight loss daily diet. 6. ITALY - Socialize Italians are very social at mealtime. They enjoy unhurried meals with friends and family. Their meals are longer with more socializing, less food and small portions. 7. CHINA - Try acupuncture Chinese acupuncture is finally getting under the skin of dieters by tapping into body’s many hidden energy meridians. The ancient practice of acupuncture helps to heal a host of ailments.

Ready Set Summer! By Elan Clinic 1. Lose weight Looking for a safe and effective weight loss program that offers coaching and support? Elan offers an effective plan to get anyone to their weight loss goals. This program targets a wide range of people. It is not just for people looking for a better figure. It also targets those with medical histories that can be controlled more effectively with weight reduction and a healthier eating pattern. By adhering to a plan like Medifast, we can teach people that this step to their lifestyle change will help to prevent medical problems that their increased weight can contribute to, as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol and increased stress levels. For those already with some of the medical diagnoses listed, the program can teach how diet plays a significant factor in attempting to limit the vast consequences they are facing. ELAN wants people to learn what is considered to be a ‘ healthy way of eating’, how to limit indulging and how unhealthy eating will, in no doubt, affect their body size and their health status. 2. Get rid of wrinkles While thousands of people pursue plastic surgery procedures such as a facelift, eyelid lift and other intensive procedures to reduce the signs of aging, others are opting for non-surgical treatments instead. A Medically based skin care line called Obagi Medical... is designed to improve fine lines, wrinkles and skin tone. It is also used to complement Botox and Fillers which are used to treat fine lines and wrinkles. It is used to help slow the signs of aging. Wrinkle reduction can be achieved by surgical or non-surgical methods at Elan Clinic.

Face care tips from around the World
1. Romania – cleanse natural Mix equal parts water and apple cider vinegar and 1-2 aspirins dissolved. Cleansing pad soaked with the solution and clean your face 2 times a day to counteract signs of aging. Vinegar helps eliminate dead cells, while aspirin is an excellent anti-acne product. 2. France- sweet skin Use a teaspoon of brown sugar to massage your face and remove dead cells, then clean with a cloth moistened with warm water. 3. Japan - Feed your face Healthy diet can provide a healthy body with a radiant skin. A healthy diet should include proteins, essential vitamins and minerals in addition carbohydrates and fatty acids. 4. Italy – exercise your face To look younger for longer, you need excellent skin. A skin that does not show the years is supple and well cared for. One of the secrets to a young-looking face is welltoned facial muscle. 5. Bermuda - DRAMATIC CHANGES CAN BE YOURS For many people, wrinkles are one of the first signs of aging. In a society that places such a high value on a youthful appearance, it is no wonder that a safe and effective way to eliminate wrinkles has become the most popular treatment in the world. When I see a patient for an anti-aging skin evaluation, the first thing I look at is the quality of the skin. The skin may seem like a simple structure but actually is a complex organ. Blemishes can sometimes be disguised as lesions of early skin cancer. If undetected and if treated as a cosmetic feature with lasers and peels it could result with complications months or years later. Before treatment, if anything is suspicious looking, Dr. Romeo is called in to evaluate before any treatments begins. Dr. Romeo is a board certified dermatologist and is a big part of our team. We have practiced together for 13 years and opened the first medical spa in Bermuda in 2001.We have specialists in the office that are trained in all aspects of the skin and procedures. Bermuda currently has 2 dermatologists and one plastic surgeon. Becoming quite popular is the Liquid Facelift. It is a variety of fillers and botox that can give back fullness to our faces. Botox can effectively treat wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, lips and chin. As we age our lips can lose their fullness which can make us look older. Juvederm (a filler) is used to create a natural, more youthful improvement to the lips that doesn’t look “done”. When fillers and wrinkle relaxers are used together, it has a longer lasting efect.The beauty of the fillers is that you see the effects immediately. For a free consultation, contact Ms. Lawrence @ 295-9963
Thermage is the only noninvasive procedure that can lift sagging eyebrows, increase prominence of cheekbones, re-define the jawline and improve appearance of double chins and sagging necks in a single treatment. No surgery, no needles or downtime.

ART matters
By Lisa Howie, Director, Bermuda National Gallery
Bearing Witness
Richard Clive Saunders | Bermuda National Gallery Richard Clive Saunders: Bearing Witness is an exhibition from the Bermuda National Gallery’s permanent collection, celebrating the artist’s prolific career in photojournalism. Photography is a science that has evolved into an art form. Today, everyone owns a camera. Images zoom around the Internet instantly. Long gone, the dark room, the chemicals, the expensive and time-consuming trial and error. Access to photography is widespread and opportunities to publish one’s work are in excess. This was not the case for Richard Clive Saunders growing up in 1930s Bermuda. What a delight it must have been to receive his first camera. I imagine him trailing behind his mentor Hilton Hill, captivated by the tool that could translate what he was seeing through the lens into an image he could hold in his hands. In the 1940s Saunders moved to New York, studied at the Modern Photography School, at Brooklyn College, and the New School for Social Research, and worked in a photo lab, developing and printing for some of the best photojournalists of the era, like Henri CartierBresson. Photography is an art form that has evolved quickly. A trip to the Bermuda Archives helps to shape this fast arc: from early portraiture of the elite, of the military, of the landscape, to the BNGs exhibition on Saunders, whose work sits at the heart of the modern movement. Saunders was a master storyteller using the black and white image to capture the personalities of Malcolm X, Henry Kissinger, Elijah Muhammed, Leonard Bernstein. He studied his subject, came to know them to some degree before getting behind the lens, and this had a profound effect on the quality of his images. In a moment of serendipity a picture of his wife landed on the cover of Ebony and simultaneously launched his career into magazines like Topic, Look, Fortune, Ladies Home Journal, Time and Woman’s Day. “I want to grasp a precise moment of life, and at that moment one is not concerned with film type or angle. One is interested in sharing an experience.” One of my favourite images is of fans greeting James Brown; here is an excited crowd, charged with both Nigeria’s independence and the anticipated welcome of America’s scintillating 1960s Black entertainer, caught in a moment of exuberant liberation; one can hear their shouts, feel the heat, and sense the party about to begin. Conversely, the intense quiet of a child’s stare; a look at once drilling and compelling, she is well beyond her years as she sees the camera bearer. Who is bearing witness here, we wonder?

In January, 2010 Rachel Sawden left home to backpack around the world for six-anda-half months with three other Bermudian girls. During her travels she visited India, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. Rachel fell in love with South East Asia and upon her return to Bermuda she decided she wanted to start traveling the world, collecting unique and special items and sharing her discoveries in Bermuda through shopping nights and private viewings. Wanderlust was born‌ wan-der-lust: an irresistible desire to travel the world When did you get started after realizing what you wanted to do? With the support of my parents, Ian and Marjorie Sawden, I planned my first buying trip three months after returning from my travels and within 2 weeks my mother
and I were on a plane back to Thailand for our first 4-day buying trip. Upon returning to Bermuda, Wanderlust held its very first shopping night right before Christmas and was a big hit! The next buying trip was about a week and a half again in Thailand in Feburary of 2012. I focused on jewelry, tee shirts and flower soaps. Most recently I have been
In the Arts 31 focusing on the flower soaps because they are something I can order in bulk and they are very popular! Each are hand made, not factory produced, really special, they are carved from a regular bar of soap and hand painted. They make a really nice gift, party or wedding favor. I can order in bulk in custom flowers and colours to fit any wedding/party theme. What was one of the most memorable parts of your first buying trip? The first shopping trip was so rushed. We flew 24 hours just to stay for 4 days. We stopped in New York on the way, then London then Bangkok. The layover between London and Bangkok was about an hour and we had to change flights. The only way to make the plane was to just run like bats out of hell through the terminal. Our luggage never made it, so when we arrived in Chang Mai, Thailand, the following evening we had nothing with us. Immediately I said to my mom, come on, let’s go. I stuck her on a Tuk-Tuk and we headed straight to the night market. She was absolutely taken back by everything. It was her first time in the country. It was nice for me because I knew where everything was and everyone speaks enough English to help you out. When we went to pick up

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.

In another image, part of Saunders’ South American Project, we sense the rhythm, the culture of the labourer’s every day life. Toil, evident in subtle ways, is overshadowed by symmetry, the levity of the hats, and the innocent wonder of the central babe. Appreciation for art demands pause. The Richard Clive Saunders: Bearing Witness exhibition has the power to slow our pace, encourage us to look more closely and consider the artist’s careful creations as well as his subjects. “What matters to me are people and their feelings: above all is the unconquerable dignity of man, of whatever colour, creed, or persuasion that must come through in my photographs.” Richard Clive Saunders: Bearing Witness at Bermuda National Gallery continues to May 25.

BERMUDA’S HISTORY
Historical Image of the Month Painted by an unsigned artist, this watercolour presents a picture of warships on an early morning off the Bermuda Dockyard and is appropriately entitled “Grassy Bay at Sun Rise, 1858”. On the left, a sail and steam vessel is charging its boiler, possibly HMS Terror, the flagship of Captain F. Hutton, the first Captain-in-Charge at the Dockyard, both man and ship having arrived at Bermuda the previous year: smoke arises from the single stack, while to the right in the distance is a Convict Hulk for housing prisoners working at the Dockyard. The central ship, an older ship-of-the-line sailing vessel, has just fired a cannon for reveille, while on the far right, a similar warship is drying its sails. Despite the early hour, a number of rowboats are already out and about and in one, an officer scans the harbour with his spyglass. – Dr Edward Harris Bermuda Maritime Museum
BERMUDA & HER PEOPLE Dr. John ‘Jack’ Arnell (1918 – 2000) Born in Canada, Dr. Jack Arnell moved to Bermuda at age four. Educated as a scientist in Canada, he received a PhD. From Montreal’s McGill University and began his illustrious career doing research in chemical warfare for the Canadian Army. He retired in 1972 as Assistant Deputy Minister of Canada’s Department of National Defense. In 1973, he returned to Bermuda and became one of the founders of the Bermuda Maritime Museum. His contributions to the Museum included creating a system for cataloguing its publications A long-time chairman of the Stamp Design Advisory Committee, he penned numerous articles and pamphlets about Bermuda history and one book, Sailing in Bermuda – Sail Racing in the Nineteenth Century.

A Bermuda Railway train crossing the bridge at Flatts inlet.
Last Wagon of the Bermuda Railways In 1946, Bermuda suffered two disasters in succession, having survived the 1939–45 war relatively unscathed, except for the destruction of half of St. David’s Island and the displacement of some of its inhabitants for the building of the American base, Kindley Field. In that unfortunate year, the Bermuda Railway was derailed and motorcars received full licence to maraud about the countryside, which they, and fools on motorbikes, seem to do today at high speed, with immunity. The topography of the island added considerable expense in the building of 33 trestles and bridges of the Bermuda Railway, though the view from most was undoubtedly spectacular. There were two types of passenger coach, the ‘Pullman’, or first class, with its individual wicker chairs, and the third class ‘toast racks’, so named as the backs of the seats could be pushed over, so everyone could faced forward or the other. The name came from the original non-pop-up electric toasters and such seats are still found in American commuter trains. The rolling stock came to Bermuda on the SS Barbarian, a name many may have applied to this intrusion into the sedate local landscape. As children, we spent most summers in the cherry tree jungles on the Pitman Farm at Point Finger Road and in the exploration of the old bed of the Railway that is now the speeding track between the two roundabouts in Paget. We were unaware that Bermuda had had two railways and that the second was still operational in St. George’s Parish. Then a little

From the opening of the Bermuda Railway until its demise in 1947, the leading light and Chief Engineer was Harold Jennings Kitchen, otherwise known up and down the line as ‘The Old Man’, like the captain of a ship. He was also responsible for the second Bermuda railway on Vincent Astor’s property, ‘Ferry Reach’, in St. George’s Parish. Astor inherited many millions when his father went down in 1912 on the Titanic. In the early 1930s, Vincent and his first wife, Helen Huntington, built their grand Bermuda house, complete with a private railway that brought their guests from the main line train on the north side of Ferry Reach. The last Bermuda railway wagon was a present to Harold J. Kitchen, Chief Engineer and General Superintendent of All Divisions of the Ferry Reach Railway Co. from Vincent Astor. Astor clearly had a sense of humour, giving the grandest title to the maker of one the smallest railways in the world. After he had to break up his main railway and send it to British Guiana, General Superintendent Kitchen was made head of Bermuda’s J. C. (‘Kit’) Astwood with public bus system. He died three years later, some say of a the silver (last) wagon. broken heart.

DO YOU KNOW…
by Horst Augustinovic
…About J.J. Bushell, M.B.E. – publisher, musician and educator? John James Bushell was born in Weymouth, England, in 1872 and came to Bermuda at age 15 with his Bermudian mother and British father. He was one of the original students of Isaac Pitman, the inventor of the shorthand system. When in Bermuda he brought the first typewriter to the island and it would seem that publishing was an early interest of his. In 1895 J.J. Bushell published ‘A Business Directory and Commercial Advertiser of the Islands of Bermuda’. This later became ‘Bushell’s Handbook’, which he published until 1939. By 1901 the 1895 edition of 16 pages developed into ‘All About Bermuda. Bushell’s Handbook. History, Guide, Directory and Compendium of Information on the Bermudas. A Tourist Guide’, totaling 160 pages of information plus a 54 page Advertising Directory. By 1911 ‘All About Bermuda’ was still the same size, however, it was now simply called ‘Bushell’s Handbook’. With the John J. Bushell growth of tourism and colour printing becoming more accessible, J.J. Bushell in 1926 wrote ‘A little story about Bermuda written for those who desire a brief and accurate narrative’. This attractive booklet includes 49 images of Bermuda in colour, and was published by the Bermuda Furnishing and Supply Company. Meanwhile ‘Bushell’s Handbook’ became ‘Picturesque Bermuda in Picture, Prose and
In 1926 J.J. Bushell published ‘Bermuda’ with the subtitle ‘A little story about Bermuda written for those who desire a brief and accurate narrative’.

Dream Holidays or Golfing Pilgrimages Golf vacations are a massive industry unto themselves, with countless operators around the world who specify in the most lucrative recreational form of travel tourism. Fanatics of golf and indeed, those who plan entire vacations around the sport, often fall into one of two subdivisions. Those who seek out courses in exquisite parts of the world or resorts that make up the new breed of ultra-luxurious destinations. Courses in parts of the Caribbean, Scotland and of course our very own Bermuda. Then you have the connoisseurs. Those with intimate knowledge of golf lore, who want to walk in the footsteps of history. There is no more powerful a statement than, “I was there”. These Holy sites of Golf attest to that. This is why having events at Mid Ocean in the past and now Port Royal will give Bermuda many rounds of golf for many years to come. The most sacrosanct golf pilgrimages tees off with more mythical courses familiar by name to competitive and neophyte duffers. These golf courses are more than just fairways, bunkers and greens, they represent history. Perhaps no other sport reveres and respects the past as golf. Consider that in no other sport can virtual novices walk the ground and participate in the game where the very best have made their mark. They experience the most significant Cathedrals in golf. Courses designed by Charles Blair MacDonald and Charles Banks originally designed Mid Ocean and Tucker’s Point respectively. I have been lucky enough to play many great golf courses over the years, but I don’t get the special experience that I was kind of expecting. I felt that I was just in a conveyer belt; at no point did I feel that I was special, like having a Macdonalds Burger, very tasty but a little homogenized. The staff are a little cookie cutter type, no real personalities, they welcome from a script rather than being genuinely be delighted I was visiting. Whereas whenever I visit a course in Bermuda you get that relaxed welcoming greeting, which is essentially Bermudian. The cost of golf in Bermuda is not cheap ranging up to $300 per player, depending on when you play and if you are staying at the attached hotel. But value for money comes from the special feel, personality from the staff, make it feel satisfying, the course and the history take this to another level, making visitors ‘repeats’ and hoping to go back as soon as possible. The vistas on all the courses in Bermuda are simply stunning and this is what takes the Courses a cut above the rest! Quick Review of the courses • Mid Ocean, the best known course on the island, best for accomplished golfers, that appreciate course design. • Tucker’s Point, all things to all people, awesome views and can be played by newer players as well as a strong test for pros by using 4 sets of tees • Port Royal, a tough layout with lots of well placed bunkers, easily the hardest course on the island, not for beginners or Bermuda has both the amazing resorts, scenery and the ‘I played there’. Coupled with the wonderful unique Bermudian welcome, it amazes me that more people do not come, maybe it is just a well kept secret.

IN & ON THE WATER
TOUCHING, FEEDING & KISSING!!! We visited Dolphin Quest for the first time and had the most amazing Dolphin experience. We literally touched, swam with and even kissed a dolphin! We also fed them fish and learned a lot about them. It was an incredible day. We always heard how smart dolphins are but to see it first hand is mind blowing. It is an occasion you will never forget or stop telling stories about! When you arrive at Dolphin Quest you are assigned a trainer and depending on your encounter, you may be paired into a group. The trainer will fit you with a wet suit and flippers. The wet suit will keep you warm!!! There are warm showers to use after your encounter and your personal belongings are taken into a secure place. You head over to the pools and follow the trainer’s instruction. It’s pretty straightforward and before too long you are making a few new friends in the water! The Dolphins love visitors; they get really excited and start swimming fast around their pools. They won’t approach you though, unless they are invited. Then they zoom over and you have their undivided attention. We touched them, learned about their fins and blowholes. We shook their fins. They splashed us with water. We gave them a kiss and then we swam along side them in the pool. The trainers at Dolphin quest know a lot about Dolphins. They will tell you all sorts of interesting facts and are ready and willing to answer any questions that you have. A Few Dolphin Facts That We Learned During Our Visit! • • • •
Dolphin’s can stay under water for up to 15mins but they can’t breath under water! They have to come up for air! Dolphins communicate through sounds and whistles using their blowholes! Dolphins eat fish and squid! They send out clicks that are returned from other objects in the water (just like an echo). They can locate food, other dolphins, predators or rocks with this method. Dolphins carry their babies between 11 and 18 months. The babies are delivered by mothers and the aid of another dolphin who plays the role of a midwife. After the

• • •
baby is born it stays with its mother for several years until they are able to survive on their own. Dolphins sleep very different from most other mammals. Only half of their brain sleeps and the other half stays awake, fully aware of their dangers. Dolphins live up to 40 years but the average life expectancy for wild dolphins is 25 years. Trained dolphins live much longer. Dolphins travel in groups of up to a dozen, they mate, hunt and protect each other! A group of Dolphins is called a POD!
Dolphin Quest opened in 1988. Their vision was to create a place where people and dolphins could personally interact! Today Dolphin Quest has three locations. Bermuda, Hawaii’s Big Island and Oahu! Dolphin Quest is known around the globe for its dolphin – human interactive programs, education, and commitment to ocean wildlife research, exemplary animal health care and successful breeding programs. The staff at Dolphin Quest are talented people from all over. Their team includes some of the world’s finest dolphin behaviorists, trainers, veterinarians and guest service staff. Dolphin Quest provides a nurturing environment for all Dolphins and quality health care. Each location is an accredited member of the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums. For more information about Dolphin Quest or to schedule an encounter visit their website www.dolphinquest.com. Also, ask about their summer programs Dolphin Quest Summer Camp runs weekly starting July 2, 2012 to August 31, 2012 (Not offered during Cup Match – July 30th – August 3rd)

Telephone 441 2384842 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. 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 exhibits on slavery, history of tourism,

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.

(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. Designed by William Hay, the Scottish-born architect who later drew the plans for Hamilton’s cathedral, the St. George’s church was abandoned in 1899 when near completion. FORT ST. CATHERINE St. Catherine’s Point, St. George’s Fort St. Catherine stands on the site of one of the four towers that Governor Richard Moore erected along Bermuda’s coast around 1613. None of these original towers, the first English forts in the New World, survive. The present, completely restored structure, dates from the mid-nineteenth century and is home to fascinating exhibits including military guns and weapons. Open Mon-Fri 10:00am-4:00pm.

What to See & Do
CARTER HOUSE Southside Road, St. David’s Carter House was probably built in the 1720s by John Hayward and his wife Martha, reputedly a descendant of Christopher Carter, one of the two Sea Venture survivors who stayed behind when the vessel’s other passengers continued on to Virginia in 1610. Acquired by the St. David’s Historical Society, this small house with its unusual ‘welcoming arm’ stairs has been converted into a museum that commemorates the pre-war agrarian traditions of St. David’s. 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. Lit for the first time in 1879, its fixed white light enabled navigators to take cross bearings with the flashing beacon emitted by Gibbs Hill lighthouse way up the coast in Southampton. Open 9-4, Mon-Fri from Nov - Mar. Admission is free. CRYSTAL CAVES & FANTASY CAVES Wilkinson Avenue, Bailey’s Bay Two young boys discovered this magical underground world comprising stalactites, stalagmites and a clear, fifty-five foot deep lake by accident in 1905.

CHEF of the month

Massimo Bernasconi Head Chef | Portofino Restaurant
Chef Massimo comes to us all the way from the beautiful Lake Como region of Northern Italy. He received a phone call from a friend some time ago, asking him to come to Bermuda. He was young and had no commitments at the time, so he thought, why not. Now, 10 years later, he lives here in Bermuda with his wife and kids and is the head chef at Portofino. Massimo’s first introduction to the hospitality industry took place when he was just 14. He started out as a waiter but was later sent to culinary school by his employer!!! He trained in Sondrio, Italy and later on he worked for one of the top hotels in Italy called Villa D’este. Eventually Massimo opened his own restaurant in Lake Como called “Como” and today he lives here in Bermuda and you will find him at Portofino! You come from such a beautiful place in Italy, what have you grown to love about life in Bermuda? I love fishing, the sea and island cooking. Everyday must be somewhat different for you as a chef, what was one of the most memorable times you recall being here at Portofino? One day I remember, we must have had over 400 people come through the restaurant. There were just fewer than 200 for lunch, and just over 300 for dinner. It was crazy; we were so busy, non-stop. At Portofino we can have no reservations book and 150 people walk through the door within a few hours of each other. We go from pressure to full on pressure.
Chef of the Month 75 75 Do you have any plans in motion for the future? I am happy with the way things are right now and have no plans to move on yet. We have great staff and Portofino is a happy place. Portofino is not just a family restaurant; the staff are all a big family too. What is your favorite thing to cook? Fish! I also love to cook pizza obviously, but I love cooking different types of fish and a variety of seafood. One of our best sellers is our Fish Soup. Another is our grilled fish and meats. When Guinea Chicks are in season, they are also very popular. Can you suggest special dishes for our readers to try the next time they come to Portofino? Wine Suggestions By: April Gosling Naude Fettuccine Portofino: Created with fettuccine, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Chicken Strips and Tomato with a touch of cream. Pairs well with: Cavit Pinot Grigio has a crisp, light character, bright straw gold color and appealing scents and fruit flavors. Crisp, light and highly versatile, Cavit Pinot Grigio is a wonderful apÊritif and equally splendid with pasta, chicken and fresh seafood entrees. Enjoy well chilled. Linguini Luciana: Created with linguini in a Pink Brandy Sauce with Shallots. Crabmeat, scallops, lobster & shrimps. Pairs well with: Maschio Dei Cavalieri Prosecco. Sparkling wine with light gold color, creamy textured perlage; aromas of candied citron and acacia; the taste is soft, fresh with an elegant finish. Ideal for fish and shellfish dishes, pasta in cream sauces, quail. Excellent as an aperitif or, at the end of a meal, with fresh fruits, especially strawberries or peaches. Tuna Tagliata: A tuna steak on a bed of freshly prepared arugula salad with almond slivers. Pairs well with: Bottega Vinaia Pinot Noir. Wide aromatic spectrum exalts cherry, sour cherry, cooked plum and tones of spices and tobacco on the nose. On the palate, this wine is velvety, harmonious and well balanced with excellent structure. With age it evolves in roundness, fullness and complexity Don’t forget Dessert! Cheese Cake! Portofino offers a variety of delicious flavors including Godiva, Banana and Dolce de leche. Pairs well with: Perfect with an Amaretto Di Saronno on the rocks

RESTAURANT REVIEW
We heard that Rosa’s has a new Chef & Manager so we absolutely had to head on down and meet them in person. Chef Jamie Cota Sandez has been here in Bermuda for just over 3 months, originally from Cabo, Mexico. He is very charming and greeted us with a great big smile. Jillian Summers is Bermudian and you may recognize her from her Robin Hood days. Jillian brings a wonderful and fresh energy to Rosa’s. Bermuda’s Sitting inside vsBest the patio was a toss up but we choose the patio. The sun was just tex-mex Cuisine! starting to set and we couldn’t resist the fresh patio air and bustle of Front Street. We 121 Front Street, Hamilton immediately started with fresh tortilla chips and Chef Jamie’s guacamole and salsa. Chunks 441 295 1912 of fresh avocado, mild spices, tomatos, yum. We also tried a few appetizers. The Sopes de Pollo Pibil, a Yucatan (Spanish) style marinated and shredded chicken that sits on refried beans, sliced lettuce placed on a corn tortilla. Mixed in, a red onion bursts with flavor in your mouth. Next we tried the Beef Flaunta’s, served with sour cream and fresh salsa. This is more of a deep fried tortilla with beef inside. We also tried Chef Jamie’s fresh, handmade corn tortillas with cheese inside and topped with fresh avocado, very simple but so tasty. For our main course we decided to try an entree each. Simona had the fresh seared Tuna, carefully placed with asparagus on top of a bed of cheesy risotto and underneath a mushroom sauce that was absolutely delicious. It was really different from anything she had ever tasted so we Chef Jamie and Jillian asked Jillian what it was made with. Jillian Or Out smiled and said “a special ingredient from Mexico that Chef Jamie brought with him when e Fare he moved here”. If you order this dish, be sure to ask your server if they know what the et, Hamilton special ingredient is!!!! I had the stuffed chicken, which was also placed with asparagus but 2 0791 on a bed of mashed potato. The chicken was stuffed with cream cheese and caramelized almonds. Talk about mouth watering delightful goodness. Needless to say, we licked our plates dry. The table next to us ordered a big pitcher of margarita so we couldn’t help 27/03/2012 12:26
Where to Eat & Drink 77 but order a margarita after dinner just to try it. Made with El Jimador Reposado Tequila, this frozen cocktail melts in your mouth on impact. It is a must order at Rosa’s with any Mexican dish. “An unbelievably smooth tequila, Reposado, which means “rested” in Spanish. But resting is just the beginning. Made from 100% agave, our proprietary production process and aging in white oak barrels for two months is what gives el Jimador Reposado its golden color and balanced flavor of cooked agave and hints of vanilla and caramel. Smooth and mellow. No wonder this is Mexico’s #1 selling tequila.” For dessert we tried the Sopapillas first. Oh Myyyyy. They not only melt in your mouth but they have a cinnamon sugar aftertaste that I can only describe as heaven hitting my tongue. Sopapillas are served with a chocolate, raspberry or honey sauce. Next we dug our spoons into deep fried ice cream. Delish. It is made with vanilla ice cream coated in corn flakes and almonds, deep-fried and then rolled in cinnamon sugar. This was by far one of our top experiences since we started visiting restaurants. We were very pleasantly surprised at just how much we enjoyed ourselves. Rosa’s will be bringing in two more chefs from Mexico to work along side Chef Jamie. During May visit Rosa’s for Cinco de Mayo! They will be extending the celebration for a whole 2 weeks offering traditional dishes from Mexico. Don’t forget to ask what’s in the mushroom sauce!!! Margarita

Flanagans – behind the scenes with the staff - Part 1 with Chris Garland & Deon Mills Deon - It was 1979 at the Bermudiana Hotel when Deon started working in the Hospitality Industry. He worked under aged as a bar porter and within 2 years became a bartender. When the Bermudiana closed, he moved to Docksiders and from bartender he soon became a manager. In 1990 Deon was approached by former Flanagan’s owner Eddy Keane who offered him a job. He has been at Flanagan’s ever since. Deon started out as a bartender, became head barman and soon became a partner when the Mickey Adderly group took it over. When Mickey was ready to sell the business Deon approached a few close friends and explained that Flanagans was for sale, they owned Primes Place at the time. The group of friends put together a 5 year plan and got to work. Deon Mills, Chris Garland, Robbie Bell, Anthony Daniels, Barry Moore DeCouto & Several silent partners who each play their part. Chris - Chris is a Golfer by trade and was only 18 when he first met Deon. They were paired together on the golf course. Dion asked Chris what he did for work and mentioned he should stop by Flanagan’s, they might need a barporter. Chris started that summer and continued to work at Flanagan’s during summers and holidays. He put himself through school working during the day at the Ocean View Pro Shop as the Assistant Pro and at Flanagan’s at night. Eventually he gave up the pro shop, the hours and heat in the summer weren’t desirable. Under the Mickey Adderly management, Chris started working in the office at Flanagan’s a few days a week. It was then that he realized how strong of a business it was. When Deon approached him to buy Flanagan’s with the group, it seemed like the perfect fit. Chris was appointed GM from the start. Deon, Robby, Anthony and Barry were more experienced on the floor, they had the years of hands on. Together, it was the perfect teams. Chris now runs the office, staff, accounts, etc. Chris celebrates his birthday on May 12th, so be sure to stop by Flanagan’s and wish him a good one. He is also getting married in September but don’t rush to the mailbox just yet, it will be a very small wedding! Chris typically starts his day at 7:30am. It’s the two hours before his phone starts ringing that he gets the most work done. He usually finishes by 5:30pm. He likes to make an apperence on the floor throughout the day, helping out where he can. Everyone knows there part at Flanagan’s. The owners and staff are held to standards. Sales, comments from customers, etc all play a part in rating performance. Flanagans is in a prime location on Front Street. It is very poopular with locals and when cruise ships pull up it is right in front of the passengers as they get off their boats. Chris, Deon and Barry were preparing to go on a Golfing Trip the following day of this interview, they weren’t panicked at all, quite relaxed actually. They have a tight crew and they know, everything will be just fine while they are away. The staff wants to be at Flanagan’s; they are a part of something more then just a job and a paycheck. Flanagan’s is a family. FLANAGANS IS THE PLACE TO BE ON MAY 24th WEEKEND!

what’s Cooking Bermuda?
with Barry Cohen
Fire up the Grill for Bermuda Day Char-Grilled Rib Eye with Roasted Shallot and Herb Butter There is nothing like a Rib Eye: it is the most flavorful steak you can buy. The thin streams of juicy white lines running through this cut of steak create outstanding flavor. You’ll only need to season this with salt and pepper, because we’re going to make a shallotand-herb butter to coat the steak once it’s off the grill. As with any good steak, let this one rest for a few minutes before serving. It will be moist and tender steak ever!. Ingredients Olive oil Four 12-ounce rib-eye steaks, bone in, about 1 1/2 inch thick Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 recipe roasted shallot and herb butter (recipe follows) Directions Take your steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before you want to start grilling, so they can come to room temperature. Prepare the charcoal grill to medium-high heat on one side of your grill, and medium-low heat on the other. You will need just a few briquettes on the cooler side of the grill to maintain the low heat. (If using a gas grill, heat one side of the grill to medium-high heat and the other to low.) When the grill is hot and ready to go, brush the grill grates with some olive oil. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Place the steaks on the hot side of the grill for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and grill for another 4 minutes. Once the steaks have a nice caramelized crust, move them to the cooler part of the grill, and continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes for medium rare, or 8 to 9 minutes for medium. Remove the steaks from grill, and tent loosely with foil to keep warm. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes, so the juices can redistribute throughout the meat. Spread steaks with the roasted shallot and herb butter. NOTE When you’re grilling such a thick piece of meat, it’s best to cook at a high temperature, to sear the outside nicely, then move to the cooler side of the grill, to give the inside of the steak a moment to catch up. This is especially important if you like your steaks the way I do, more on the medium side than medium rare. ROASTED SHALLOT AND HERB BUTTER: 1 medium shallot, peeled 1 tablespoon olive oil Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 stick salted butter, room temperature 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest Pinch of crushed red-pepper flakes

Wine Suggestions by April Gosling Naude
What’s Cooking Bermuda 103 Roasting the shallot gives it a deep, sweet flavor, and the lemon zest lightens the whole thing up. This butter would also be an excellent topping for fish or chicken. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the shallot on a square of foil, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Fold up the foil into a little packet, and place in the oven for 1 hour. Let cool completely. Pulse the roasted shallot and remaining ingredients in a food processor until combined but still coarse. Scrape the butter onto a piece of plastic wrap, spread it across lengthwise, and roll into a log. Twist the ends to seal. Place in the fridge to firm up for at least 35 minutes before serving SUGGESTED WINE BY APRIL GOSLING NAUDE: Zonnebloem Pinotage Dark ruby red in colour. Elegant strawberries with blackberries aromas with undertones of nutmeg and vanilla. A fullbodied wine with crushed berries and well integrated wood flavours and a long finish.
Seared Chili-Rubbed Rib-Eyes with Poblano Hash Browns. Ingredients 4 rib-eye steaks, (about 20 to 22-ounces each) 6 teaspoons Lawry’s seasoning salt , divided, 1 tablespoon chipotle chili pepper powder, divided 1 recipe Poblano Hash Browns, recipe follows Directions Season the steaks on both sides with the Lawry’s salt and the chipotle chili pepper powder and let sit for 20 minutes. Prepare your grill as mentioned in the recipe above and cook the steaks the same way. Remove and let rest briefly, then slice and serve with the Poblano Hash Browns. Poblano Hash Browns: 1 cup chopped chorizo sausage 3/4 cup chopped yellow onions 1 1/2 cups chopped poblano pepper 2 teaspoons minced garlic 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 3 pounds baking potatoes, such as russets, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes, and parboiled 1 tablespoon freshly chopped sage leaves 1 teaspoon Lawry’s Seasoning Salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro leaves Set a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat and add the chorizo. Cook the chorizo, slowly rendering the fat, and stirring occasionally until the meat is crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove the chorizo from the pan using a slotted spoon, and add the onions and poblano peppers to the pan and sauté, stirring occasionally until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the butter, the potatoes, sage, Lawry’s and pepper. Continue to cook the hash, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are warmed through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Garnish with the cilantro and serve while hot. So enjoy the parade, run the marathon, jump in the ocean and celebrate with a lighting of the grill ceremony and enjoy the holiday. Happy Bermuda Day to all. SUGGESTED WINE BY APRIL GOSLING NAUDE: Two Hands Angel’s Share Shiraz “Big, bold and expressive, with some unexpected transparency to the black cherry, raspberry, red plum and Asian spice aromas and flavors, lingering on the open-textured finish. The aftertaste just keeps coming.” – 92 Points - Wine Spectator
