Victor Mooney Arrives in TortolaThis Week’s Feature Story by Claudia Colli

It’s not every day that someone rows across the

Atlantic, but on February 19th, Victor Mooney on a

mission to promote testing for Aids, set out in a small

custom-built rowing craft from the Canary Islands off

the Coast of Africa and headed to Tortola. Dehydrated

and exhausted he spent little over a month in St.

Martin for rest, rehabilitation and much needed boat

repairs, before setting out once again in August for

Tortola – and then ultimately to his homeport of New

York City.

The six-month journey took him through storms

and shark attacks, days of loneliness and times of

hunger. His faith and belief in his cause (he lost one

brother to AIDS in 1983 and has another brother who

is HIV positive) kept him going, he explains. He caught

fish along the way, a large dorado lasted two weeks,

but even so he ran low on food and had lost 80

pounds when he arrived in St. Martin. When a shark

put a hole into the side of his boat, he repaired it with

some wood and caulking that he had on board. But

amazingly, using satellite communication, he had

intermittent Internet and phone service and was able

to keep in touch with his wife and support crew even

in the middle of the Atlantic.

“Arriving in Tortola was like a dream,” says Victor,

who spent his first few nights at Scrub Island before

moving to Nanny Cay. “The water was so clear and

blue I thought I was in a pool. I was blown away.

Coming to the BVI was like a vitamin – the beauty, the

fresh air. I was revitalized. There is a genuine concern

for the environment.”

Freshly provisioned and after having conducted

further repairs to his Brazilian-made boat (made of

mahogany and painted the colors of the Brazilian

flag), Victor will set off on the remainder of his journey.

He hopes to make a straight run to Turks and Caicos,

then up through the Bahamas and the east coast of

the US to New York. A team of meteorologists in

Maryland, will keep him apprised of the weather con-

ditions as he makes his journey northward, one which

he hopes to complete by sometime in November.

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.

her new relationship.

Turning to him could build

an emotional bond and you

know the term “old firestick

easy to catch”. Also, it is

very unlikely the new part-

ner will be happy to have

his business discussed

with an ex-boyfriend. If she needs advice or they need

counseling, she should turn to someone who is neu-

tral and a person that the new boyfriend is comfort-

able with also.

Always want to seek forgiveness from the guy that

they left to be with another man

This could be because she knows that she did

something wrong or ended the relationship the wrong

way or treated the person unfairly. She now needs val-

idation and forgiveness so that her guilt can be

erased. Sometimes people end relationships not

because the relationship was bad, but because they

saw someone else and they thought it would be bet-

ter; they think the grass is greener on the other side or

they are just getting something from this new person

that the ex couldn’t provide. When this happens, they

often try to maintain close ties with the ex, because it

really was a good relationship.

The EX Files

Send your questions confidentially toaskkoren@live.com or via twitter at @korennorton

Why is it that when a woman leaves a man for

another man, they want to:

Remain friends with the ex?

That could be because the ex is a nice person and

just because he might not be relationship material,

that does not mean he would not make a great friend.

Other women are less than honourable and keep the

ex around as a plan B in case their current relationship

does not work out. Nothing is wrong with someone

remaining friends with their ex, once boundaries are

maintained and the current partners are not constant-

ly having to wonder what’s going on because of the

inappropriate level of closeness.

Get jealous if said ex speaks with another woman?

That is inappropriate behavior and speaks to lin-

gering feelings for the ex. The way I see it, if she left

him, then he is fair game for other women and it’s not

really her business who he speaks with. Maybe, she is

not quite over him as yet and still wants to be able to

control who he speaks with. This ex needs to put her

in her place and move on with his life.

Find it okay to turn to the ex when problems arise

in the new relationship

If there was a friendship before a relationship then

maybe he is someone she can talk to for rational and

sound advice. While it’s okay to be friends, it is dan-

gerous to involve an ex that she still has feelings for in

Unlike any Disney movie you seen before

Maleficent, the “true story” behind Disney’s 1959

Sleeping Beauty, gives insight to this age-old story.

We learn the back story of Maleficent (played by

the talented Angelina Jolie) – and what turned the

most powerful fairy tasked with guarding the enchant-

ed woods to become the evil sorceress that cast a

spell on Aurora, or Sleeping Beauty as we know her

(played by Elle Fanning).

In the beginning we see Maleficent as a child

innocent living carefree in the enchanted woods.

She knew all the creatures and they all loved and

adored her. What stands out most about her at first

glance is how magnificent her wings are, big and

intimidating even as a young girl, unlike any of the

other fairies’ wings. One day a boy named Stefan

(Sharlto Copley) sneaks in the woods and has a fate-

ful meeting with Maleficent. Over the years, he con-

tinues to visit her, and they falls for one another. But

having come from nothing, poor and alone his whole

life, Stefan had ambitions of being more, he wanted

to be a king one day.

As time passed they grew apart mainly because of

their respective worlds being at odds. After a failed

attempt by the King to invade the Moor he was left

wounded after battle by Maleficent, and he pro-

claimed that anyone that could kill the powerful and

fearless fairy would be given the opportunity to claim

the crown of the human kingdom. In that moment

Stefan made the choice to betray his life long friend.

Stefan went to the place where they met as children

and Maleficent faithfully came when he called just like

when they were children. Suspicious at the sight of

him after so many years she eventually let her guard

down for this is the boy she loved. It was in that

moment that love turned to betrayal and he cuts off

her wings and the powerful fearless fairy is left flight-

less and heartbroken.

From there unfolds the story of Sleeping Beautywe all know and love, only this time – knowing what

we know about the fallen fairy with the broken heart –

the vengeful sorceress of the tale takes on a whole

new light. As you know the curse of Sleeping Beauty

goes something like this, on her 16th birthday she will

fall into a death-like sleep and only a true love’s kiss

can awaken her. But as Maleficent watches over and

interacts with the young princess over the years, the

girl she cursed, the pair begin to form a bond that

could finally avert the war between Maleficent’s mag-

ical world and the militant armies of her former love,

King Stefan.

Heart warming and visually magnificent don’t

miss your chance to see a new take on a old classic,

Maleficent is now out on DVD.

Meredith Vieira surely is no stranger to daytime

television, but she now finds having her own name on

a program “really scary.”

She returns to home screens weekdays when TheMeredith Vieira Show premieres in national syndica-

tion Monday, Sept. 8. She knows what she wants from

it, including a comfortable feel on a set designed to

resemble her home ... but in a field that has seen

enduring successes (Rachael Ray) and relatively brief

runs (Katie), she knows it could go either way.

“I use that word ‘authenticity,’ ” the ever-candid

Vieira says, “and I think that’s the keyword with an

audience. I think that they can smell a fake a mile

away ... not that the shows that have failed are

because the people who front them are phony, but I

think that they want “real,” and they want to connect

with somebody.

“In the shows that I have done in the past,” adds

Vieira, “particularly The View and Today, what has

struck me the most is how significant daytime televi-

sion is to the viewers. They connect with it in such a

personal way. When I have folks come up to me, it’s

never like, ‘Oh, Meredith Vieira.’ It’s always almost

like I’m their mother. Some say, ‘You remind me of my

grandmother,’ which I don’t love.”

Vieira says she’d been approached earlier about

doing her own talk show, but she wasn’t interested

until she started talking with NBCUniversal and Rich

Sirop, who had been her executive producer on WhoWants to Be a Millionaire and keeps that role on her

new venture.

She explains, “I miss the people who come up to

me and say, ‘Gee, you made a difference in my life’ or

Vieira Opens Her New TV Home

‘I was going through a hard time, and you made me

feel better,’ or whatever it was ... those things. That’s

the power of television, particularly daytime. You talk

about what a wasteland it is, but it can do so much to

help people.”

As well as bringing a chair from her house (“My

family revolted, and they said, ‘They cannot have

more than that’”), Vieira also is bringing Everett

Bradley — a percussionist who has played with Bruce

Springsteen’s E Street Band — as her music director

and her “dear friend” Jon Harris as her announcer.

Originating from the real 30 Rock in New York,

each hour will start with a “List” of whatever Vieira

feels like discussing that day, and each week will fea-

ture a different service dog to be given to someone on

the Friday.

Whatever the outcome, Vieira intends to take it

with her typical “it is what it is” approach. “I know

what it is to be in syndication and to launch a show in

syndication,” she reflects. “And if it fails, I’m not going

to die ... but I’m hoping for the best.”

Back to Schools Tennis KickoffPerhaps you’re currently watching the U.S. Open,

have seen Wimbledon or clips from other tennis tour-

naments around the world on television and may be

wondering how you can get your child involved in the

sport or how you yourself might get out and swing a

racket.

An opportunity presents itself during a Kids tennis

Fun Day which is planned for Tuesday, September 9 at

the Long Look Tennis Court, hosted by the Long Look

East End Tennis Club.

The event sponsored by Grace Coconut Water and

Highland Spring, runs from 4-5:30 p.m. The program

also runs on Thursdays as well during the school year

and ends with a tournament in June.

“We are hoping for kids to come out and try ten-

nis,” said Carol Mitchell who has been running the

program with her husband Patrick over the last three

years. “Hopefully we’ll have increased participation in

the fall program.”

Students from the Willard Wheatley and Francis

Lettsome Primary Schools in the East End Long Look

community, as well as students from other schools

have taken the opportunity to learn the sport.

The program targets youngsters 10 and under.

Mitchell said, during September the program

accepts new registrants and they are groomed to

play in a tournament by the end of the school year in

June. She said the aim is to expose them to compe-

tition after getting a better grasp of skills and under-

standing the rules and regulations of the game.

“We have found that the children want to play

tennis and sometimes we go beyond 5:30 to accom-

modate them,” Mitchell, a passionate player and

former BVI Open Tennis Tournament finalist, said. “We

see that they’re having fun and enjoying the game.

Besides, tennis is a healthy sport and good. Playing

tennis regularly, has many physical and psychological

health benefits associated with it.”

In June, there was a tournament to close off the

program. The respective finalists and winners were:

Green. Stage 1: Boys: Champion- Matai Frett. Finalist.

KieJuan Barzey. Girls: Champion - Olivia Freeman.

Finalist. Tennisha Herbert. Yellow Ball: Champion:

Deandre Baijnauth. Finalist. Courtney Palmer. Rivalry Match Champion: Adrian Baijnauth.

Finalist. Jahmal Berti.

Interested in having your child involved in the pro-

gram? You can show up at the Long Look Tennis Court

on Tuesday with your child and register. Contact the

club via longlookeastendtennisclub@gmail.com or

even send a message through their Long Look East

End Tennis Club facebook page.

Fees associated with the program are $20 for the

term and includes registration. Equipment is supplied

for the children’s use, so basically they show up ready

to play tennis.

Tennis tourney participants

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. A partial-ly completed grid is usually provided, whichtypically has a unique solution. See nextweeks Limin’ Times issue for solution.
