This Week’s Feature Story by Arlena Smith
Scaramouche
your typical Italian dishes such as lasagna or
spaghetti and meatballs!
Their Sunday Brunch and pizza night dubbed
“Pizza Peritis” has been getting a lot of buzz and
become very popular among patrons. Chiara also con-
firmed they will be doing monthly events including
having live bands and DJs, so look out for their next
event coming soon. This Sunday April 12th you can
catch the smooth sounds of Oren Hodge from
11:30am-3:30pm.
Come on down to Soper’s Hole and experience a
taste of Italy. Chiara and Roberto are an absolute
delight. Reservations are suggested but not required
call (284) 495 3443.�Scaramouche is open from 9am
until every day.
The newest authentic Italian restaurant is located
in Soper's Hole on Frenchman’s Cay and is owned and
operated by Chef Chiara Valsecchi and bartender
Roberto Selvi. Chiara is a graduate of the very presti-
gious Gambero Rosso Cooking School in Rome and
Roberto is a professional mixologist. He is also a cer-
tified mixology teacher, who enjoys creating his own
libations to tantalize the taste buds!
The vibrant young couple came to the BVI in 2012
on a sailing trip and immediately fell in love. They
already had intentions to leave Italy and establish
their own restaurant. The couple intended on moving
to San Diego, but after their visit to Soper's Hole, they
knew they had found their new home! And as luck
would have it, there was a space available and all they
had to do is make their dream a reality.
The restaurant opened in March 2014 and they
offer only high-end food and drinks, which they
describe as "contemporary" Italian-Caribbean
fusion. The restaurant has two sections with casual
dining downstairs where they serve breakfast, lunch
and dinner and you can enjoy Roberto’s creative
cocktails, and in the upstairs dining room they offer
the fine dining experience. So don't come looking for

Lime ...“to hang around idly” or “to go out on thetown.”Source: The Dictionary of Virgin Islands EnglishCreole by the late educator and historian Lito Valls.The Limin’ Times brings you all the news aboutwhen and where to “lime” in the British VirginIslands.
you are developing feelings for him and would like
him to know your situation and then you open up to
him. This way, if the feelings are mutual, then you
can both decide on the next step. If that revelation
causes him to lose interest, don’t let that cause you
to regret doing the right thing. At least, you were
honourable.
On another note, I would advise you to handle
that separation situation as soon as possible and
decide if you are moving forward and away from the
marriage or if it is fixable. Right now you are marking
time and that is no longer an option. You will be able
to breathe much better when there is clarity in your
life and you are not in limbo. I’m keeping my fingers
crossed for you.
Should I Tell Him I’m Married
Send your questions confidentially [email protected] or via twitter at @korennorton
Dear Koren,I’m talking to this guy and I really like him and
have started to have deep feelings for him. I’m mar-ried but separated from my husband. Do you think Ishould tell this guy how I feel about him and that I ammarried but separated? –Very Confused
Dear Confused,
Yes if you are talking and spending time togeth-
er like two persons who are considering each other
for a relationship, you should tell him that you are
married and the earlier you tell him the better for
you. I’m sure many persons already know you are
married, so it cannot be a secret and it is nothing to
be ashamed of if your marriage didn’t work out –
things happen and people grow apart. What would
be more shameful is if you deliberately deceived
someone or led them on. By the way, withholding
truth is as deceptive as lying.
In this society we live in, people love to tell other
people’s business and if they see you and him
together frequently, someone is sure to ask him
questions or tell him something. If he has to hear it
from someone else, there is hardly anything you can
say that will make him feel that you were not lying to
him. So my suggestion is that you tell him nicely that

Walking to Win!As part of the Government’s ongoing national
strategy to build a healthier Virgin Islands, UMI
Fashions has teamed up with the Ministry of Health to
present the latest Fitness Movement Challenge “Top
Stepper” competition.
According to Program Co-ordinator, Jason
Rubaine, in order to be the “top stepper” you will
have to accumulate no less than
20,000 steps within a 24 hour time
period to qualify.
People signed up for the Fitness
Challenge can participate by liking
UMI’s Facebook page. Then monitor
the page daily to see the fitness
movement challenge logo, and once
the icon is spotted, the 24-hour count-
down begins. Mr. Rubaine said, “The first person to
come into UMI Fashions with their pedometer show-
ing 20,000 steps in the allotted time period would be
awarded a free outfit. So, get walking today and who
knows you could be walking into a great new outfit!
Brian is Back…Yes, Brian Neale, the inimitable performer is back
at Myett’s playing the 5pm to 7pm, Sunset Happier
Hour slot (see schedule – centre pages). Get there
early for brunch and enjoy bottomless mimosa’s every
day!
After over 20 years as a musician, Brian’s reper-
toire is perfect for enjoying a sundowner at this lively
beach bar in Cane Garden Bay as he plays a mix of his
own songs and cover songs from artists such as Neil
Diamond, Elton John and of course, one of his biggest
influences, Jimmy Buffett. He actually played with the
maestro of Margharitaville himself in Toronto in front
of over 20,000 fans.
His latest CD, “Living the Life” pretty much sums
him up, his passion for the freedom of beach life,
boats, sailing, the Caribbean, good times and yes, the
contagious combo of steel drums, guitars and horns.
His debut CD, “Common Behaviour” features songs
from past and present from road trips on the mainland
to limin’ in the islands.

I have a soft spot for warmhearted movies with
quirky characters like those found in The Grand
Seduction. The film takes place in Ticklehead,
Newfoundland, a rugged island of steep windswept
cliffs and a population of just 121 souls. For the most
part, they are elderly, or infirm, or in one case, the
overly fertile mother of five.
Ticklehead’s economy had been based on fish-
ing but with a moratorium on cod fishing, most of its
residents are either on welfare or had left the island
in quest of a better life. A petrochemical plant is
interested in locating a recycling plant there, but
only if there is a doctor on the island, which there
isn’t. Finding a doctor who wants to relocate to this
craggy isle with even craggier inhabitants is not
easy. When Paul Lewis (Taylor Kitsch), a young plas-
tic surgeon with an LA practice, is sent to Ticklehead
for a month as community service (he was busted at
a Canadian airport for cocaine possession), the
townspeople go to improbable lengths to con-
vince/seduce him to stay permanently.
Murray French (Brendan Gleeson) steps in as
Ticklehead’s new mayor when the old mayor flees
the island for new more prosperous horizons. With
no work on the island, Murray’s wife has also left to
work on a mainland factory, and he is desperate to
do whatever it takes to get her back.
As the town fears, Dr. Lewis is not charmed by
Ticklehead. There is only one mediocre restaurant
and just one bar – aptly named “The Bar.” But
Murray has a plan. They will eavesdrop on Lewis’
long distance phone conversations to his fiancée
Helen and determine his likes and dislikes. He lacks
a father figure? No problem, Murray will fill the role.
He is crazy about cricket? Well, the townspeople will
form a cricket team, even if they are ice hockey fans
and absolutely clueless about cricket.
Most importantly they try to encourage a
romance between him and the attractive post-
mistress, the only eligible female on the island. But
since she is not interested in a man with a fiancée,
this turns out to be a formidable obstacle. When the
Texan oil men turn up in a helicopter to negotiate the
deal, and Lewis learns of the town’s communal
deception, things inevitably get more complicated.
But in this film of small delights, the unexpected
can always happen.

By Dean “The Sportsman” Greenaway
Standing at the edge of the track on Monday night
at the Kim Collins Stadium (formely Silver Jubilee
Stadium and renamed in honor of the St. Kitts-Nevis
sprint icon) on Sunday, it was good to see our U20
Girls team anchored by Jonel Lacey – with Taylor Hill,
Tarika “Tinker Bell” Moses and Lakeisha “Mimi”
Warner. This is the same quartet that advanced to the
2013 IAAF World Youth Championships Sprint Medley
final, then won a silver medal with Nelda Huggins
replacing Mimi, hooking up again,
this time in the 44th Carifta Games.
It was another historic
moment, since it was the first time
that the BVI – which joined the
Carifta Games Family in the
Bahamas in 1976 – had an U20
Girls 4 x 400m relay quartet lining
up for competition against the big
regional players, Jamaica, Trinidad
and Tobago and the Bahamas.
With a similar quartet in 2013, they had had the
experience of ripping the hearts out of the Bahamas
on home soil, competing in the U17 Girls 4x400m
relay at that time, and getting the silver medal.
With Jamaica winning its seventh straight relay of
the games, it came down to see who would grab the
remaining medals from among the three teams – and
who would go home without. The BVI trailed the
Bahamas as Hill – who ran 100/200m personal bests
of 11.83/24.24 – ran a strong leg after getting the stick
from Moses, who wasn’t at her best, and held off the
Trinidad and Tobago runner trying to pass at the
exchange.
Lacey immediately put the team in third place
behind the Bahamas with Trinidad and Tobago chal-
lenging. Lacey, who won individual silver in the 400m
Intermediate Hurdles on Sunday night, unleashed a
ferocious kick over the last 120m, surging past the
Bahamas runner and kept the distance for the silver
medal ahead of Trinidad and Tobago, finishing in 3
minutes 46.43 seconds. This was the third best time
ever run by BVI women for the Territory’s 40 Carifta
Games medal in its history, dating back to the first in
1978.
On Sunday evening it was
another first with two entered in
the U20 Girls 400m Intermediate
Hurdles – a record four hurdlers on
the team including one boy. Lacey,
who missed the games last year,
returned and debuted in the 400m
Intermediate Hurdles where she
finished third for an individual
bronze medal with a personal best of 1 minute, 01.26
seconds. Lacey was followed by Warner, who won
800m bronze medals in 2012 and 2013, and was
fourth in 1:01.65 in just her second time over the bar-
riers. She ran 1:04.71 a week earlier in her first go over
the barriers. Lacey’s time is the fastest electronic time
ever by a BVI athlete and only trails Pat Archibald’s
60.0 seconds hand time from 1982 on the territory’s
All Time List.
Then, Beyonce DeFreitas – advance to her first
200m U18 Girls final and at 14, becoming the
youngest to ever achieve the feat. She then placed
fifth overall in a personal best of 24.50 seconds, a
time only eight others have bettered. They all deserve
congratulations as the rest of the team.

Nothing Like The First Time
14Limin’ Times Entertainment Guide
The Roosters of Road TownI’d have to be blind, to not have noticed the gazil-
lion chickens that regularly roam the bi-ways of Road
Town, and all the far reaching environs of the BVI, as
well. To say they're everywhere would not be too
much of a stretch – East End to Soper's Hole, Cane
Garden Bay to Nanny Cay, they're hard to avoid.
They are generally unobtrusive. And it's not just
the beautifully plumaged males that we see stalking
the streets. It’s just as often the hens, and usually
with their babies in tow. Little fluff-balls of cuteness,
doing their best to stay close to their moms, while
learning pecking order, both literally and figuratively.
My only complaint would be along the lines of
how bleeping noisy they can be, when it comes to the
pre-dawn hours of the morning. I know they don't
wear watches (their wrists are way too skinny, and
they can't tell time anyway) but 4:00 a.m. is pushing
the envelope. They are rather disrespectful when it
comes to timing. Rather self-centered, if you ask me,
thinking life is all about them.
I've heard that roosters get lonely, that their
squawking may come from sheer lack of companion-
ship. Who knew, that a few hens for friendship and
*otherwise* wouldn't cut the mustard? I've also
heard that roosters (yes, they're males) are often ter-
ritorial, and sometimes their “vocalizing” comes
from claims of “you're in my space, move on.”
Open-air restaurateurs have their own sets of
struggles with the winged beasts (though we seldom
see them fly more than a few feet at a time). Again,
with their self-serving natures, they have no problem
scrabbling about under patron's feet, scrounging up
dropped French fries, burger hunks, breadcrumbs or
whatever. I recently observed one underfoot at a
restaurant in St. Thomas, who jumped right up on a
patron's table, which scared the bejesus out of the
visiting tourists.
The best solution I've ever seen to help with the
restaurateur's plight, was at Luncheria, in a courtyard
in St. Croix. Lenny (a friend, the owner) keeps squirt
guns available at the bar, for use upon request. When
a chicken gets too close or aggressive, you just let a
good squirt rip. The animals aren't harmed. And they
get the message.

The objective is to fill the full 9x9 grid with digits
so that each column, each row, and each of the
nine 3x3 “sub-grids” that compose the main grid
contains all of the digits from 1 to 9 – with no
repeats within each row or column within the
entire square. A partially completed grid is usual-
ly provided, which typically has a unique solution.
See next weeks Limin’ Times issue for solution.
