BVI Spring Regatta – Something for EveryoneThis Week’s Feature Story

Claudia Colli

Whether you are a landlubber or competitive racer

there will be something for everyone as the 42nd BVI

Spring Regatta and Sailing Festival gets underway start-

ing March 25th. First on the agenda of this action packed

week is Monday registration at Nanny Cay (Regatta

Central) for the BVI Sailing Festival’s kickoff event, “The

Round Tortola Race” on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, a fun day both on and off the water,

sailors will race over to Pirates on Norman Island for a

day of beach games and standup paddle boarding. On

Thursday, competitors can relax, take tours, or enjoy a

variety of activities on Tortola, while in the afternoon

classic Tortola sloops will be featured.

Then comes the event that everyone is waiting for –

the BVI Spring Regatta. Registration for

the Regatta begins at noon on

Thursday, March 28th at Festival

Village, followed by the Mount Gay

Welcome Party. Attracting some of the

world’s most exciting racing boats, the

Spring Regatta is the BVI’s biggest

annual sailing competition. This year

there will be entries from at least 12 dif-

ferent countries including the US,

Australia, UK and Russia, as well as the USVI, Puerto Rico

and the BVI. Racing will start on Friday and continue on

Saturday and Sunday with courses beginning and end-

ing off Nanny Cay.

One of the special things about the Regatta is that

non-sailors can have as much fun as the racers.

According to Spring Regatta Director, Judy Petz, there will

be spectator boats for those who want to get out on the

course and every night is party night at Regatta Village

which will be festooned with bright lights and filled with

the flavors of five food vendors serving everything from

local cuisine to fresh made pizza. Live musical entertain-

ment will include Final Faze on Thursday, Hudson and the

Hoo Doo Cats on Friday, Quito & the Edge on Saturday

and the Last Resort Band on Sunday.

Other Regatta highlights include the

annual fashion show, an Easter Parade,

mocko Jumbies and the much anticipated

awards ceremony and party on Sunday

afternoon. So whether you sail with the

big boys, or hang out at the Village, don’t

miss the year’s hottest racing event.

do it by physical affection,

spending quality time

with the child, giving ver-

bal affirmation, etc. Ask

her to try the other meth-

ods. Assure her as much

as possible that you will

do your best to ensure

that your family does not go hungry, so the responsibili-

ty is not all hers.

Briefly and gently point out to her the dangers of

childhood obesity; increased risk of diabetes and heart

problems and self esteem issues for your daughter.

It is difficult to change your wife’s attitude, but I do

not like the attitude of ambivalence that you have about

her letting herself go. Improper eating will cause a prob-

lem for her in the long run also and love should dictate

that you show more concern for her habits.

Understanding the dangers of over-eating benefits both

her and your daughter.

It is commendable that unlike many fathers out

there, you are willing to have a hand in your daughter’s

upbringing besides just providing food and shelter. Keep

up the good work and do your best with your precious

princess.

Your personal E-therapist, is in the house!

My wife keeps overfeeding my daughter

Send your questions to [email protected] or follow uson twitter @korennorton and a response will be provided

Dear Koren,

My daughter is overweight and my wife does not

want to do anything about it. She has let herself go and

it’s fine with me because she is a grown woman, but my

daughter is only 12 and every time I try to correct her eat-

ing habits my wife complains. I understand she grew up

poor and doesn’t want our daughter to be hungry like

she was, but this is going overboard.

Concerned Dad

Dear Dad,

You have every right to be concerned if your 12 year

old daughter is overweight and you must be able to have

some say in how your daughter is raised. Perhaps it is

the way that you bring up the topic that causes your wife

to complain, because it sounds as though you have her

best interest at heart.

We both understand why your wife is feeding your

daughter more that necessary; it seems that she is trying

to overcompensate because of what she went through

as a child. She is saying, “I love my daughter too much to

ever let her go hungry the way I did”. I do believe that her

motivation is love.

When you speak with your wife, let her know that

you understand what she went through and how it is

impacting her behavior now. Remind her that there are

other ways to show love besides through food – she can

There is nothing quite so enticing as the aroma of

freshly baking bread. It invigorates the digestive sys-

tem and stimulates the appetite with thoughts of melt-

ed butter on a warm roll or muffin or… Recently I read

an article on home sales that said a vanilla flavored loaf

slowly baking in the oven might have a positive impact

when prospective buyers come for a viewing – such

was the perceived psychological impression such an

aroma might have.

A growing number of bakeries in the BVI are pro-

viding tempting choices. It was recently announced

that the Road Town bakery on Main Street was to close

and then shortly afterwards that Chef Mac, an experi-

enced baker and longtime employee, would be taking

over the bakery as his own business. I once interviewed

Mac for a magazine article and his knowledge of his

profession was impressive. The bakery in a convenient

central location will undoubtedly do well with Mac’s

unbounded enthusiasm. Besides home-made breads

there will be “healthy” choices of patties, sandwiches,

soups and salads – Yum!

On Wickham’s Cay 2, Deli France describes itself

as, among other things, a boulangerie. I often stop by

for a lunchtime sandwich prepared on a crispy fresh

baguette. Near the checkout station is a display case of

pastries sometimes stuffed with pastry cream, various

glazes on fruit tarts, chocolate éclairs and puff pastry

Napoleons. It takes a strong will to pass them by but I

nearly always pick up a couple of baguettes.

Another bakery that is gaining popularity is right

opposite Sunsail on Wickham’s Cay 2. Local citizens,

Tyler and Julia Dawson, have established their bakery,

retail outlet and café right across from the territory’s

largest bareboat facility. The other day I popped in for a

cup of Java and couldn’t resist trying one of the blue-

berry muffins. The warm treat was filled with large juicy

blueberries (no frozen or imitation product here) and it

was so delicious I had to have a second one. Chef Tyler

was egg washing a tray of just proved loaves of bread

ready for the oven while Julia was busy delivering

boxes of warm goodies across the road to the crewed

yachts that now have a new way of impressing their

discerning guests.

There are several other bakeries around the terri-

tory but one that deserves special mention is Pam’s

Bakery at Neptune’s Treasure in Anegada. Not only

does she produce delicious breads, cakes and pastries

(try the warm Danish for breakfast) but she also pro-

vides a delivery service to the yachts in the anchorage

motoring boat to boat in her Boston Whaler. Now that’s

service, BVI style!

CBS soap still “Restless” after all these yearsThe show may not be so young anymore — as its

40th anniversary indicates — but it’s still restless,

proved by the plot twists it keeps handing its longtime

characters.That’s what has kept so many stars of TheYoung and the Restless on board, and they’ll be present

as the CBS daytime drama hits the four-decade mark

Tuesday, March 26. Though the milestone will be noted

in certain ways, it’ll also be just another day in fictional

Genoa City, according to three-time Daytime Emmy win-

ner Peter Bergman, who has played Jack Abbott on the

soap since 1989.

“It’s a giant chunk of my life,” he reflects. “Because

I can remember clearly my first day, it seems it was yes-

terday. My daughter was 4 weeks old when I started the

show, and she graduated from college last year. When

you put it in terms of someone else’s life, that’s a really

long time.”

Still, previous All My Children co-star Bergman

reminds that he didn’t originate his role on the serial cre-

ated by the late William J. Bell and wife Lee Phillip Bell

(parents of actress Lauralee Bell, the show’s Christine

“Cricket” Blair). The late Terry Lester was the first Jack,

the womanizer whose life has been marked by every-

thing from sexual harassment suits to political bids.

“Actors get frustrated with writers, but I’ve never

been one of those people,” Bergman says. “They’ve writ-

ten so many things for me, and my kickoff was spectacu-

lar. Terry Lester had left of his own accord, and I think Bill

Bell took it kind of personally, so Bill was determined to

force Peter Bergman down the world’s throat. And that

was both good and bad.

“Of course, a lot of people loved Terry and missed

him terribly, but what Bill did for me storywise was kind

of neat. Jack came

back determined to

get Jabot (the Abbott

family’s cosmetics

firm) back, and his

plan was to get Nikki

(Melody Thomas

Scott’s character, of

the rival Newman family) to fall in love with him. And he

went about it in a very clever, planned way.”

Nikki and Jack ultimately wed, then divorced, just

one of Jack’s many stops on the road of romancing and

scheming — one of his latest being with Phyllis

Summers (Michelle Stafford). “He absolutely has had

his moments,” Bergman muses, adding that he also

has stayed mindful of his alter ego’s more redeeming

qualities.

“Jack had his father, but John (the Abbott patriarch

played by Jerry Douglas) died ... then they told me, ‘We’re

going to bring him back, less as a ghost and more Jack’s

conscience.’ And I thought, ‘Oh, great. I’ve gotta do the

ghost storyline.’ Who knew it would be such a gift? At his

most devious, Jack still has to sit with his father and say,

‘I miss you, and I wish you could help me.’ ”

Eric Braeden, Jeanne Cooper, Doug Davidson,

Tracey E. Bregman, Sharon Case and Kristoff St. John are

among other actors who have had lengthy runs on TheYoung and the Restless, which has won 113 Daytime

Emmy Awards — seven for outstanding daytime drama.

It also has an ongoing spinoff in The Bold and theBeautiful, and while the number of daytime soaps has

dwindled, Bergman is pleased and grateful to remain

with one of the survivors.

Learning Centre CelebratesThe Eslyn Henley Richiez Learning Centre will cele-

brate its Ruby Anniversary with a “historical” Sports Day

on Thursday, March 21st. Taking place from 10 am to 1pm

at the A.O. Shirley Recreation Grounds, the sports day

will highlight old-time childhood games like lime and

spoon races, ball throw and flat races. There will also be

wheelchair races so all children, no matter what their

special need, can participate.

The school, which is located at John’s Hole, first

opened its doors in October 1972 and was inaugurated

by the Red Cross and the wife of then Governor of the

Virgin Islands, D.G. Cudmore in order to serve children

with special needs. Eslyn Richiez, for whom the school is

named, was its first principal and Alice Leonard her only

assistant. Originally called the Fort Charlotte Children’s

Centre, the school was originally located at MacNamara.

It became a public school in 1977 and moved to its new

Johns Hole location to offer students more space and

better facilities.

Other anniversary events scheduled this year

include a commemorative booklet and a gala award cer-

emony which will take place on June 14.

Crowning Miss Virgin GordaCome out and cheer for your favorite contestant at

the Miss Virgin Gorda Easter Festival Pageant on

Saturday, March 23rd. The pageant will be held at the

Recreation Field dubbed Darwin George Easterville, and

will begin at 8pm. The four contestants, Mindy Paul,

Emoni Prince, Sylvanna Charles and Gwenisha

Wilkerson, made their debut at the Miss Gorgeous

Pageant at the Catholic Community Center in Virgin

Gorda. The contest is a part of next week’s Virgin Gorda

Easter Festival celebration which will culminate with the

festival parade on Easter Monday.

Howling at the MoonIt’s full moon time again on Wednseday, March 27th

and besides howling, there is no better way to celebrate

this lunar event than to head to Trellis Bay for its month-

ly party. The Razorbladez will provide the entertainment

and a Caribbean buffet starting at 7pm will make sure

that you are well-fed when the fire balls are lit. Also on

hand are the acrobatic antics of the event’s popular

mocko jumbie troupe, the burning man, as well as three

bars to keep you well-watered.

Caribbean Cellars FeteWine lovers head down to Caribbean Cellars’ to help

celebrate the opening of their new location off Lower

Estate Road near the Fedex warehouse. The fun is from 2

to 5 pm, and there will be food drinks, prizes and amaz-

ing deals.

Django Unchained is the latest movie written,

directed and produced by Quentin Tarantino, creator of

Pulp Fiction and the Kill Bill trilogy. It has gained

Tarantino his fifth academy award nomination and sec-

ond win. The film is set in 1852 pre-civil war era in the

deep south of the United States. Django is a slave who is

bought by Dr. King Schultz, a German bounty hunter, so

that he could help him find the slave’s previous owners,

a group of murderous hillbillies known as the Brittle

brothers. After successfully accomplishing this task Dr.

Schultz freed Django then helped him become literate

and teaches him to use a gun. Django sets his sights on

rescuing his wife Broomhilda von Schaft, another slave

sold by the Brittle brothers to a plantation known as

Candy Land. They plan a well-mastered but risky scheme

to get into the plantation owned by the very inhumane

slave owner Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio) in order

to rescue Broomhilda.

Academy award winner Jamie Foxx plays the part of

Django and Austrian-German actor Christoph Waltz plays

the character of Dr. Schultz. Waltz’s solid performance

landed him his second academy award win. His first was

for another Tarantino film Inglourious Basterds for his

role as Nazi Colonel Hans Landa.

Django Unchained follows on Tarantino’s gruesome

style, inspired by Old Spaghetti Westerns, specifically by

Sergio Corbucci’s 1966 Django, which is considered one

of the most violent westerns of the era. Undoubtedly

Tarantino’s Django takes violence up a notch.

Interestingly, he plays homage to the original by having

Franco Nero, the 1966 Django, do a cameo as an Italian

mandingo fighter owner. Nevertheless, Tarantino’s plot

of an African slave who becomes a bounty hunter in the

Wild West is an original one. The cowboy’s scenes and

theshootoutsare as authentic as any old western movie.

The film’s approach to such a serious subject as

slavery is paradoxical, and its violent nature has gained

it mixed reviews. In response to this criticism Tarantino

has argued that the film is not nearly as violent as real

slavery. Although it’s not really fair to expect an actual

depiction of historical slavery from a Tarantino film in the

first place, the film forces you to think about that part of

history and the painful reality that slaves lived under.

There isn’t any known documentation of a slave

that became a bounty hunter with hopes of saving his

wife and restoring his life as a free man, neither has

there been a cowboy movie that addresses the topic of

slavery. This new twist in history has enough action to

keep our attention and anyone can get pleasure from the

feeling of redemption. If you are a Tarantino fan, enjoy

old westerns and would like a different take on history I

highly recommend this film. Just make sure not to bring

along any children or anyone who might have a weak

stomach.

Although the BVI is surrounded by water, sadly

there’s aren’t many involved in water sporting activities

and, there’s a large segment of the young population

who even can’t swim.

However, Chris Ghiorse must be commended for his

efforts in getting youngsters actively in the water, and

more so, involved in doing Triathlons.

Last Saturday, some 27 young and enthusiastic

under 14 competitors, were either diving into the water

at Trellis Bay on Beef Island, or riding their bikes and run-

ning, in the kickoff of the 2013 Youth Triathlon

Development Series, hosted by BVI Triathlon Federation

(BVITF) and BSAFE.

When it wasn’t a Triathlon activity, it was a Duathlon

where they ran, rode their bike and then ran again.

“Last year I felt that many children were stuck at

home when they wanted desperately to attend the

events I was hosting,” Ghiorse said. “This year the BVITF

is focusing on providing children free transport from a

designated locations to get to each event we have

scheduled on the calendar.”

Ghiorse said he

thinks the biggest reason

the races are so much fun

for everyone is due to the

community effort being

made by all involved –

from the

parents/guardians and

volunteers who help with

a variety of tasks to Karl

Scatliffe’s bussing – it

truly would not be possible without their commitment.

“Since these events are designed to help learn

about Triathlons I like to keep everything very short,” he

pointed out. “My primary concern at this stage is safety

for all.”

The event began in 2012 and Ghiorse said that from

the events they have scheduled this year he hopes to

find a few keen individuals who will want to start specif-

ic training for Triathlons.

“This is a new sport and from my experience our

biggest challenge is going to be swimming,” he

explained. “Swimming is the shortest leg of triathlons,

but without some experience in the water you can’t even

get to the next leg.”

Another event in the 2013 Youth Triathlon

Development Series is scheduled for Saturday, March 30

The objective is to fill the full 9x9 grid withdigits so that each column, each row, andeach of the nine 3x3 “sub-grids” that com-pose the main grid contains all of the digitsfrom 1 to 9 – with no repeats within each rowor column within the entire square.
