Scuba Scuba DooThis Week’s Feature Story

Flying its flag proudlyunder the KATS (KidsAnd The Sea) Program,KATS Scuba BVI arelaunching into its newseason which intro-duces scuba diving toteenagers and youngadults aged between12 and 18 years old. To

get the ball rolling, there is a One Day Introductory

course, “Discover Scuba Diving Day” from 10am till

12:30pm this Saturday at Long Bay, Beef Island. The short course will consist of an “Introduction”

by the dive instructors followed by familiarization ofthe equipment. Then it’s the fun part, where the groupgets into the water for the first time, initially in theshallows where it is easy to stand. From there it’s allabout practicing clearing masks and just getting usedto being and breathing under the water. Those whoare comfortable at this level, can swim out further(with the instructors) where there are lots of fish tosee and the fun of the sport can really start sinking in.

KATS Scuba BVI is organized and run by Marc

Downing, who has been involved since his predeces-sor, Derrylyn Churchwell left island a couple of yearsago. The program was first organized and run by theBVI Dive Operators Association in 1994, however, it isto Derrylyn who was involved from the outset thatMarc gives the credit. He said, “Derrylyn helped laythe foundations to attract local youth into the sport.”She also helped find graduates jobs in the divingindustry which is so intrinsic to our island way of life.

Marc also explained that, “Although the One DayIntroductory course is an enjoyable “taster,” it is nec-essary to take this course before embarking on theFull Certification Course. At the end of the course onSaturday, the dive instructors will advise those stu-dents who have shown the ability to progress further.”The full course will start later in the year.

The fees for the One Day Introductory Course are$15 and $200 for the PADI Full Certification Course.KATS Scuba BVI works very closely with the Rotaryand Roteract Clubs who are generously providingsome sponsorship for students who cannot raise thefees. There is no pre-registration necessary forSaturday’s course. For more information, call Marc on346-1137 or check out the KATS Scuba BVI facebookpage for videos and information.

Your personal E-therapist is in the house!

Dear Koren,

I am a 19-year old young lady who lives with my par-

ents but every time I ask for money to do something

important no help comes so I turn to my boyfriend for

almost everything I need. I have been with him for 2

months now although we have known each other since

childhood. We are happy and everything is going good

and he has told me to come and live with him since I am

stressed at home all the time, but my parents act so

funny that I am scared and sometimes I think of running

away. Please help me decide what I should do.

–– Confused

Dear Confused,

The expectation for some parents is that if you

are 19 years old you could get a job to pay for at least

some of your needs. You are living rent free and that is

more than many parents allow. So while you might

find them unsympathetic, look at what they are doing,

and try to be a bit more grateful. Maybe if they see you

making some effort to seek employment, they would

be more inclined to help you.

Why are you being stressed? Listen to your par-

ent’s complaints – maybe there is some validity to

them. If you feel like you are being treated unfairly,

Stressed and Confusedtalk with them and try to

improve the relationship.

You don’t need to run

away from home – that’s

juvenile thinking. At 19,

you are a woman and if

you want to leave, you

must ensure that you are

capable of supporting yourself. Living independently

means paying rent, utilities, buying food and all that.

Even if this young man says you could live with him, it

is too soon and also dangerous to be at someone’s

mercy financially and otherwise. All seems well now

but when you move in with him, you might see a dif-

ferent side of him when he realizes he has to take care

of you completely. So have a plan B; if things don’t

work out, you are not stuck in a bad situation.

Find some simple ways to handle your stress –

it’s not good for you. Sit and think about what you

want in your life and have some goals and plans of

your own. Having a life where you are working

towards your dream makes you happier than just

being there mooching off parents or a two-month old

relationship – that will eat away at your self-worth and

you can do better.

– Jane Bakewell

It’s the 1960’s in racially segregated Jackson

Mississippi (think Jim Crow Laws, Martin Luther

King, and Rosa Parks) and Skeeter (Emma Stone) a

recent graduate of Ole’ Miss with an interest in jour-

nalism is back in town for the La-dee-dah days of

summer that include bridge clubs, ice tea and girly

gossip. Somehow she isn’t fitting back in with her

best friend Hilly’s new agenda for separate toilets in

white homes with maids, to make sure “the help”

stay in their rightful place.

Confused as to why her mother let go of

Constantine (Cicely Tyson) her beloved maid that

had been with the family for 29 years, Skeeter

decides it’s time to get “the help’s” point of view.

She pitches her unorthodox idea to the female edi-

tor of Harper and Row and surprisingly an offer is

made to look at her interviews of domestic maids, if

she gets at least a dozen to talk to her about their

experiences.

This is a risky business for Skeeter, who knows

the laws segregating contact between whites and

blacks, but even more so for the maids, she asks to

help her, who risk loss of jobs, imprisonment and or

beatings. But Abileen, the nanny of her friend

Elizabeth’s little girl (powerfully played by Viola

Davis) agrees to speak to her in clandestine meet-

ings and gets her out-spoken best friend Minny

(Octavia Spencer in another great performance) to

also spill the beans about the dark side of white

employment. Others join in (all taking made up

names) with tales of tender relationships formed,

doomed from inception by the lines of color.

Based on the best selling novel by Kathryn

Stockett, The Help is directed by Tate Taylor (a close

friend of Stockett’s and a fellow southerner), who

takes this intimate portrayal of the sometimes

deeply close but also fractious relationship

between the races and makes an unforgettable

movie with the humor, outrage and contradiction

that comprised the way of life in the south at that

time. An excellent film that will draw you to the book

(if you haven’t read it already) be prepared to laugh

and weep all in the course of one movie.

The Help

6Limin’ Times Entertainment Guide

By Jan Critchley

Boulder-DashSo it was with great excitement that my friend

and I drove into Road Town to catch our ferry for our

well-earned break to Virgin Gorda over the Festival

week. With tickets in hand and the ferry still some 30

minutes from leaving we decided to have a sit down

across the road and have a small glass of wine

because, well, we might not be going very far, but we

were going on holiday.

We arrived in VG and everything was perfect, the

rental car was there and after a short debate about

which car to take, we were off. Next stop – find the

villa. Now I have to say, to be fair that neither of us has

spent much time on Virgin Gorda itself, we have both

sailed along its north shore many times – but never

really driven there.

Anyhow, we had a map, and good directions to

our villa, so off we went! We drove towards Leverick

Bay, with lots of positive reinforcement going on, like

“oh yes, here’s where the road forks, so we keep to

the left, and now here is the historical building sign on

the left, so this is us!” It was as easy as that – so we

checked in, unpacked and

headed for town as we

were now more than ready

for some dinner and enter-

tainment. After a great

meal, a few cocktails and

some dancing, we headed

home.

The next day we woke

to a cloudless sky and

decided to head off early

and explore the island,

which we did and after a spectacular brunch followed

by swimming – we dozed off for an hour or so, to make

sure we would have lots of energy later as we had a

plan to see Leon and the Hot Shots. It was my first

fungi experience and I was determined not to miss it –

so before long, there we were shooting the breeze

with the other patrons of the bar and having a fine

time. After a while, I felt like heading home, but my

friend was still enjoying the music and decided to stay

and catch a taxi later; making sure she had a taxi driv-

er identified – I headed home.

The next morning, we were sitting having coffee

when I asked my friend how the rest of her night went.

A little sheepishly she explained that although she

thought she knew the way home, when it came to giv-

ing directions to the taxi driver it was a different mat-

ter and the only information that she could give him

was that there were two boulders marking the

entrance to our villa! Being on VG where boulders are

not exactly rare, these were very vague directions

indeed. After about an hour driving round with an

increasingly irate taxi

driver she finally recog-

nized our villa and was

relieved beyond belief.

The next day, I couldn’t

help but rub it in a bit

when we drove out of our

driveway and I pointed

the big yellow historical

sign that clearly showed

the driveway to our villa –

with its name on it!

Village Cay PresentsIt’s all about Virgo’s this week and as this is a sun

sign it is wholly fitting with the heat on the street! So

let loose your inner maiden or goddess (or here’s your

chance to meet one!) and head early to Village Cay

this Friday, 2nd September for their Pool Party where

all Virgo’s get a free Jell-O shot. Musicvideo is by DJ Wiz

and it all kicks off at 4pm – bring your swimming

things and jump straight into the weekend and have

some star studded fun.

Le Grand Happy HourDon’t miss out on happy hour this slow season

and head to Le Grand Café between 5pm and 7pm

every night with Heineken specials. After a long hot

day, what better than to relax with some friends and a

nice cold greenie in hand. See you there!

Drink Specials at D’Best CupIt’s a great place to sit with a coffee at Trellis Bay

and watch the world go by, so it’s even better news

that they are staying open all season long! Open daily

from 8am, they serve great coffee, breakfast, lunch

and of course, cooling drinks until the last person

leaves. Happy hour is from 4pm till 6pm daily with two

for $5 beer specials and sake shots.

Back to School FairThe Valley Sound Lions Club are hosting their 2nd

Annual “Back to School Fair” on Saturday, 3rd

September 2011 at Coconut Grove, Virgin Gorda Yacht

Harbor from 10am to

3pm. There will be

music, food, health

screenings and infor-

mation/help booths.

Last but not least,

there will be free

school supplies for those in attendance.

Weekend @ Bomba’sBetter lie down and take a break for the rest of

the week as Bomba Shack has a rocking party sched-

ule lined up for this weekend. The fun starts on Friday

with “Freak Jam” music at around 8pm and a guest DJ

on Saturday night with the “Recession Jam Happy

Hour” from 10pm to 1:30am.

On Sunday there will be a BBQ on the beach from

3pm to 7pm followed by live music from Final Faze

from 8pm to 11pm. So stop at the shack for some

swinging party action all weekend long.

Virgo Birthday BashVirgos are very popular this week and to cele-

brate them, there is also the Virgo Birthday Bash at

Club Crystal this Saturday, 3rd September. The night

of fun, features Black Chiney out of Miami spinning

the decks alongside Tortola’s baddest DJ’s including

DJ Bertrum, DJ Whiz, DJ Krusher, DJ Taz, Turbo Sounds

and Sister Sensia. One free shot of Patron tequila for

all Virgo’s at the party. So, get there early for some

cool party action.

The Pack Is Back To Open The 2011 NFL SeasonNFL offseason summary: The rich

(Philadelphia Eagles, New England Patriots) got

richer, the poor (Cincinnati Bengals) got poorer,

and oh, by the way, everyone made a pile of cash.

That’s the way it often goes with sports work

stoppages.

The lockout just an unpleasant memory at this

point, the 2011 NFL season gets under way

Thursday, Sept. 8, on NBC, when Aaron Rodgers

and the Green Bay Packers open defense of their

XLV Super Bowl title at home against the previous

season’s champions, Drew Brees and the New

Orleans Saints.

The Packers bring back basically the same

team that rang up a 31-25 upset victory over the

Pittsburgh Steelers in February’s championship

game, including All-Pros in defensive back Charles

Woodson, linebacker Clay Matthews and safety

Nick Collins, as well as 14 players who were injured

at various points last year. The team went into the

offseason with almost no needs, lost no key play-

ers to free agency and drafted for depth. And per-

haps most importantly in a year following an

abbreviated training camp, according to ESPN’s

Tom Jackson, they’ll have a continuity in coaching

and philosophy that many teams that underwent

significant change won’t.

“One of the things I’ve been saying during the

entire lockout,” says Jackson, who this year marks

his 25th year working with Chris Berman on

Sunday NFL Countdown, “has been that the new

champion that we crown in February of 2012, I

believe is going to be an old champion.

“It’s going to be someone, because of all the

missed time, changes in defensive and offensive

coordinators, changes in head coaches – I think all

of those teams suffered drastically from the lock-

out. So when you get these teams that have the

same (offensive) coordinator, have the same head

coach and the same defensive coordinator system

in place, the quarterback understands what the

system is – I think all of those teams have even

more of an advantage than they would normally.

“And I’m always reminded that the last eight

years, the same three teams (Steelers, Patriots,

Indianapolis Colts) have represented the AFC (in

the Super Bowl), so I don’t know where the parity

is, but it hasn’t reached the top of the AFC yet.”– George Dickie

Catching Up On The Track WorldBy Dean “The Sportsman” GreenawayBy Dean “The Sportsman” Greenaway

DAEGU, South Korea—When Jamaica’s sprint sen-sation Usain Bolt false started in the 100m finals duringSunday’s 13th IAAF World Championships in Deagu, theglobe stopped in momentary shock.

In the stadium, I had my lens pointed to get the fin-ish and you could have heard a pin drop. Shocked, dis-appointment, disbelief were some of the adjectivesheard. Those who didn’t know of the no false start rulethat came into effect on Jan 1, 2010, suddenly knew allabout it and had an opinion.

But rules are rules. Sprinters in particular—whenthey were allowed three false starts each, then oneeach—use it as a strategy to get an edge. False startsadd time to the event and is not good for televisionwhich pumps hefty sums into the championships.

I’ve been fortunate to have been at three differenteditions of these IAAF World Championships in threedifferent capacities—the first being the inaugural onein Helsinki, in 1983 as an athlete. In 2009 as in this year,my role was as BVI Athletics Association president.After the politics was over this time—including an 11-hour Congress were voting for the leaders went awrywith electronic voting machines malfunctioning andofficials had to rely on hand casting and countingvotes—I picked up a dual role. Donning my first IAAFphoto pool jacket, allowed me to get within a whisker ofthe action.

The championships have dramatically changedsince 1983. They’re now held every two years instead offour; qualifying standards are tougher, drug testing hasbecome a central focus to catch cheaters——and yes,the no false start rule, among others. Oh yeah, a dis-abled athlete ran the 400m—a story by itself.

Athletes making the final eight, they are assured ofcollecting a minimum of $4,000 in prize money, with

$60,000 going to the winner. Breaking a world recordgives that athlete another $100,000 to bank.

Several defending champions have been knockedoff their pedestal and favorites to win have flopped.Some big names did not suit up either. My biggest thrill,was when Grenada’s Kirani James collared the USA’sLaShawn Merritt in Tuesday night’s 400m—the sameevent I ran.

Here was the kid from a country with less than150,000 inhabitants, knocking off the mighty U S of A’stop dog. James—who once competed in the BVI—wasjoined by fellow Grenadian Rondell Bartholomew in thefinal. James became the ninth athlete in history to havewon World Youth, World Junior and World Seniortitles—a remarkable feat—and most of all, he’s HUM-BLE and RESPECTFUL.

Before the event ends on Sunday, there will be lotsmore surprises. My chance to cover the action as a pho-tographer was an unbelievable experience. The evi-dence of my work can be seen on facebook on the BVIAthletics Association page. Log on and drop your feed-back.www.facebook.com/pages/BVI-Athletics-Association-BVIAA/185609174793580
