A Garden of Memories This Week’s Feature Story

inspired by sermons and other experiences from theCarrot Bay Methodist Church. It is here that Velmaoften shares her insights at the annual HarvestThanksgiving Service at the Church where she singscalypso under the name “Lord Chung.”

I asked Velma what plans she has for the futureand she said, “I have been encouraged to put mybook onto a CD and also I have many more poemsthat I hope to publish in the future.” She has also writ-ten a play that was performed one year at the CarrotBay Fiesta and a calypso song, Tell Me The Story OnceAgain that was sang by Elton Callwood.”

She went on to explain, “When undertaking thisproject, I wanted to leave pearls of wisdom for futuregenerations so that they do not forget the rich her-itage of life in the islands.”

Velma has written the book in delightful languagethat is a treat to read and it reflects thediverse and talented individual thatshe is. This book will undoubtedly domuch to keep the Virgin Islands her-itage and culture alive. To buy yourown slice of VI history, contact Velmaon 499-1854, 495-4005 or e-mail herat [email protected].

Ask Koren

Your personal E-therapist, is in the house!Should I Date a Foreign Man

Send your questions confidentially [email protected] or via twitter at @korennorton

Dear Koren,

I haven’t been in a relationship for almost 2 years

and I am lonely. This man who comes to my workplace

to do business is asking me out and I like him – he is

always respectful and nice. I have never dated a for-

eigner in my life and I don’t know what my family will

say. I want to give him a chance but my family gener-

ally is not in favour of people from certain countries.

Please give me some advice.

–Ann (not real name)

Dear Ann,

You are an adult and you have a right to date

whomever you want. Even if traditionally your family

has never been open to foreigners, that does not

mean that they will not be willing to consider it. A per-

son should not be defined simply because of their

nationality. If someone from the BVI does something

wrong, how would you feel if someone painted all

Virgin islanders with the same brush. Your family has

to understand that your choosing a foreigner to date

is not a reflection of your feelings for them, just your

desire to be open-minded and enjoy an active social

life. It is not right to judge someone without having

met them or giving them an opportunity to prove

themselves.

Take your time to get to know this person before

you decide if it will be a long term relationship. Ensure

that you have similar ideas about a relationship and

that you want the same things. Remember there

might be some cultural differences to overcome. Only

introduce him to the family when you are sure that

this is someone you are serious about. So while you

value their opinion, the final decision about who you

date is up to you.

Remember in the end, it’s all up to you who you

choose to date, have as friends and ultimately spend

your life with. So take it easy and like any new rela-

tionship, you need to enjoy the interaction with this

fellow at a reasonable pace and not make any hasty

decisions. If your family complains, then tell them to

make you a man, and until they do, you will work with

what you have.

A Grave Look at Burial Grounds

It is encouraging to see that the BVI slowly but

surely is getting on board with the support and inter-

est in maintaining historical sites of significance

around the Territory. Historical tourism is a valuable

commodity to attract visitors to the islands, who

desire more than a beautiful beach and a fruit-gar-

nished rum punch at sunset.

Recently on a morning walk around Long Look,

Pastor Hank Fahie pointed out to a group of us the his-

torical Long Look cemetery. He recalled how it looked

in his childhood with just a creek bed running through

the narrow plot of land that follows a sloping hill, dot-

ted with old grave markers and above ground con-

crete crypts. Now, it appears the creek bed has been

widened and vegetation cut back, putting at risk

those gravesites that are dangerously near the

precipice. Pastor Fahie pointed out that this cemetery

was one of the oldest in the east end of the island,

possibly only predated by the Quaker burial grounds.

That got me thinking about other burial sites

around Tortola and prompted a call to Mitch Kent, an

instructor at HLSCC and very involved in the Virgin

Islands History studies. He was familiar with the loca-

tion of the site, but said there was not a lot currently

written about this burial ground, and referred me to

his colleague Jenny Wheatley, well-known BVIslander,

historian and published author.

Mrs. Wheatley, as it turns out has a special con-

nection with this burial site as it holds the remains of

her grandfather, grandmother and sister. As we chat-

ted over the phone she told me the burial ground

dates back to the original Nottingham Estate, where

the earliest documented slaves in the Caribbean were

reed and given land. According to the historical

boundaries this gravesite sits squarely in the middle

of the original estate. She surmised that possibly

there were even gravesites dating back to the slave

era in the late 1800’s, although most of those sites

would not have been marked. Mrs. Wheatley also

mentioned, the original custom was to bury the dead

underground, and that it is a more recent phenome-

non to have above ground crypts.

I did notice that there was sign at the Long Look

Cemetery announcing a restoration project in the

works. I hope this project gets underway shortly, so

that during the upcoming hurricane season when the

island gets its majority of rainfall, these sites will be

shored up to protect them from being swept down the

wide ghut that has now formed there. Care and atten-

tion should be given to all BVI historical sites, but par-

ticularly gravesites that pay honor to those who have

gone before. History’s story is told through its people,

and showing respect for the island’s ancestral her-

itage is a way to ensure it will be modeled by future

generations.

TedNot too many films serve up laughs that just

keep on rolling with regularity from beginning to

end, but the directorial debut of Seth MacFarlane,

mastermind of that animated symphony of crude-

ness known as Family Guy does exactly that with hishit movie Ted.

John Bennett's stuffed teddy bear came to life

when he was a child and they have been best friends

ever since.

A montage shows the bear’s early years of

celebrity, including appearances with Johnny Carson

on The Tonight Show, before the masses tire of hisparticular novelty and move on to other things.

But now John (Mark Wahlberg) is 35 years old,

and his professional life is at a standstill while his

long-term relationship with Lori Collins (Mila Kunis)

is in jeopardy because John isn't quite a grown-up

yet. After an altercation, Lori gives an ultimatum –

she will leave unless John finally kicks out his best

pal and starts behaving like an adult. Ted (the voice

of Seth MacFarlane) does his best to assimilate to

living on his own and existing in the real world even

while John's attempts at stepping up are threatened

by the lure of Ted's immature antics.

One of the tricks of Ted – perhaps its smartest

one – is that everyone, not just John, knows the bear

can talk, and almost everyone's OK with Ted's pres-

ence. Using the latest in motion-capture techniques,

MacFarlane even does Ted's moves. And boy can Ted

move. Wahlberg played their scenes together basi-

cally staring at a stick, with the computer adding Ted

later. But it works. The scene in which John tries to

guess the name of the white-trash girl Ted wants to

marry is time-capsule worthy. As is the ThunderBuddies song.

At its core, Ted is a movie about an overgrown

child who won't step up to the plate and be an adult,

and the walking/talking teddy bear who serves as an

enabler. But it is more than just a generic fable about

letting go of childhood. It takes specifics and with

pinpoint accuracy aims at a culture that defies the

entertainment it grew up with and yet still insists on

bathing in the warm waters of generational nostal-

gia.

By Dean “The Sportsman” Greenaway in London

In between the excitement and concentratedfocus on our annual August Festival and the OlympicGames Sporting Festival, was the crowning of the2012 BVI Softball Association and BVI BasketballFederation respective champions.

If you count when they were the Elmore StouttHigh School Rams, the Pythons have gone unbeatenover the last three years and secured the BVI SoftballAssociation's 2012 Eva Simmonds League Women'sdivision crown by sweeping the Hawks for their thirdsuccessive title and ran their unbeaten streak to morethan 50 games.

Do I hear dynasty? Coach Terry “Chino” Chinneryhas worked tirelessly with his charges and have takenhis licks in the early years as the team was beinggroomed to become champions. It’s quite easy tooverlook the countless hours and dedication he putsinto his craft and developing anyone who has an inter-est in Softball/Baseball. We need more Terry “Chino”Chinnerys in our sports. Congrats Chino!!

On the men side, in a rematch of the 2010 champi-onships series, the battle was between that year'schamps East Invaders and defending champsHurricanes. With the league's best two hurlers overthe last several years facing off, Invaders' Allen“Woodrow” Smith and the'Canes Neville “Sheep” Smith,much was expected from thehyped clash. However, it turnedout to be a one sided affair, asthe 'Canes put the Invaders atthe brink of a sweep before tak-ing it in five for their third title infour years.

Dating back to 2006, it was the ‘Canes fifth Men’sSoftball title in seven years.

In one sweeping weekend, the BVI BasketballFederation season ended.

Legs – formerly Young Legs – successfully defend-ed their crown and won their fifth BVI BasketballFederation title since 2002, by sweeping 2010 champMega Mix off the Multipurpose Sports Complex par-quet floor.

Legs – who couldn’t suit up between 2003 and2004 when the Multipurpose Sports Complex wasunder construction and there was no league held –crushed Mega Mix, 118-75 behind Khalid Gerard’sgame best 32 points for the sweep on Sunday, Aug 11.They secured a 109-88 triumph on Saturday andopened with a five point 108-103 victory on Fridaynight.

Even though they are no longer (Young) Legs, theyshowed even with the outrageous hazmat lookinguniform, they’ve still got the Legs. Congrats.

In picking up successive Jr. Division titles, theHawks completed a sweep of Young Gunners with an89-70 win. They began their weekend charge with an88-63, drubbing before securing a 93-92 thriller.

Two of the VG Heats victories for theDevelopmental League title, wereas a result of the Bulls’ forfeiture.In the only match in which bothteams suited up, the VG Heatshad a 48-40 win over the Bulls.

The morning show makeovers continue. At thestart of the year, CBS jettisoned its Early Show formatfor CBS This Morning by retaining Erica Hill andadding Charlie Rose and Gayle King and adoptingmore of a hard-news approach.

Later, with ABC’s Good Morning America andNBC’s Today engaged in their strongest battle for thetop ratings slot in almost two decades, Todayreplaced Ann Curry with Savannah Guthrie as MattLauer’s co-anchor just before the Summer Olympics.

Now change is coming to weekday morningsagain. After the conventions, veteran politicalreporter Norah O’Donnell — who moved to CBS lastsummer after 12 years with NBC News — will inheritHill’s chair at the CBS This Morning table alongsideRose and King. To hear the network’s executives tell it,it’s the right switch at the right time.

“It really is about Norah and her abilities,”explains Jeff Fager, chairman of CBS News (and exec-utive producer of 60 Minutes). “In terms of wherewe’re going and her experience, her reporting, she’sjust such a perfect fit. And especially going into theelection, coming right off the White House (whereO’Donnell has been a CBS News correspondent), shejust adds so much.”

Leaving the nation’s capital to assume her NewYork-based CBS This Morning duties, O’Donnell saysshe’s “thrilled to be a part of the broadcast. It’s anexciting time. Two hours of live television (each week-day), there’s nothing like it. I’m excited to join Gayleand Charlie and do a lot of politics — what I do best— and also do some new stuff.”

Being utilized in CBS’ prime-time convention cov-erage and on the Sunday morning staple Face theNation, O’Donnell reflects that her decision to switchnetworks was based on “doing quality broadcasting

More Norah: CBS Revamps Strategy For ‘This Morning’and doing greatjournalism. I thinkthat’s what CBSstands for, and cer-tainly, my reportingout of the WhiteHouse has beenaimed at that every day.”

O’Donnell adds that during her NBC News tenure,she “anchored (and) covered the White House, thePentagon and Congress. Returning to the WhiteHouse, it was fabulous to work with a managing edi-tor like Scott Pelley (also the weeknight anchor of CBSEvening News), who has such a deep interest in notjust news in general but also foreign news. That reallyhelped me stretch as a reporter.”

It’s likely O’Donnell will find an early-hours havenfor her style, given how CBS This Morning is describedby co-anchor King, also famously known as OprahWinfrey’s best friend.

“On one particular day, (we were) doing the 40thanniversary of Watergate,” King recalls. “One of theother networks was sitting there with Snooki.Somebody else was doing the Dallas (revival). I thinkit just speaks to trying to offer the audience an alter-native, and that’s something I believe we do verywell.”

Not surprisingly, Rose concurs, noting he enjoysgetting “the first crack at the news” in contrast to end-ing the day with his ongoing PBS late-night program.“We’ve gotten not only the guests but also an array ofreporters that I not only had great respect for comingin but can tap into. The schedule has not been anissue. In fact, the excitement of being there in themorning has been even more rewarding than Ithought it might be.”
