The Premiers Cup Sets SailThis Week’s Feature Story by Claudia Colli

KATS (Kids and the Sea) has taught young people

to swim, sail, scuba dive and windsurf for nearly 25

years, giving them the skills needed to appreciate

their marine environment. This weekend, the group’s

biggest fundraiser, the Premier’s Cup, will get under-

way at Nanny Cay, with young participants ranging

from 10 to 18 and hailing from Anguilla, Antigua,

Cayman, the USA and the BVI

showing off their sailing prowess

in this prestigious competition.

A community effort, the regat-

ta is hosted and organized by Kids

and the Sea with help from Rotary

members who will erect the tent

village, man the barbecue and

serve meals. The Royal BVI Yacht

Club officiates the racing and will

provide on the water support.

The fun weekend will kick off on Friday with a sail-

ing practice, and racing aboard IC24s takes place on

Saturday and Sunday beginning at 9am. “There will

be six to seven teams participating and each team will

be comprised of six kids per boat,” explains Brian

Dobson, the Director of Sailing for KATS. Two of these

teams will be from the BVI, and the US team will be

comprised of young people from Sail Caribbean’s

summer sailing camp. A team from St. Croix may also

participate.

Following each day of sailing there will be food, DJ

music and beach games. “Everything is provided for

the participants,” Brian points out. “We pick them up,

provide accommodations and meals.”

On Sunday at 2:30pm Premier

Orlando Smith will host the awards

ceremony. Medals and prizes will

be given out to the various winners

and the top finisher will have their

name engraved on the Premier’s

Cup.

According to Brian, who has

been involved with KATS for 20

years, working with the kids has

been a gratifying experience. “The

kids on this team are all new to it, are doing well and

enjoying it. That’s what makes it worthwhile.”

Everyone is encouraged to come out to Nanny

Cay and support these young sailors and a very wor-

thy cause. For more information on the Premier’s

Cup or the Kids and the Sea program, call Brian

Dobson at 496-8431.

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.

alone, perhaps those

items would mean

even more to her.

Once your mom is

mentally stable, the

house is not untidy,

there is enough space

to walk around and

function and your

mom does not have an obsession with her posses-

sions or keeps acquiring more, then maybe you

should not be too concerned. If she starts becoming

obsessed with her things and the place becomes

unsanitary and she cannot get to certain parts of the

house because of the congestion, then she might

need help.

Do not throw out her things without permission;

you would not want anyone to do that to you. Ask her

about her things and create a bonding moment when

she tells you how she got them, etc. Try to be under-

standing and compassionate and ensure that you

spend as much time as you can with your mother and

if there are siblings encourage them to do the same.

These are precious times and you don’t want to waste

them focusing on things that are not as important as

building relationships.

Mom is a Hoarder

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

Dear Koren,My mother is 67 and I think she is turning into a

hoarder. She always had a lot of stuff, but now that Iam trying to help her to tidy up because she does notneed all these things, everything I suggest we throwout, she wants to keep. Do you think this is a mentalcondition? At her age she does not need all that, butshe will not listen. Sometimes I consider throwingthings out without her knowledge, is that a bad idea?

–Daughter

Dear Concerned Daughter,

Hoarding is a compulsive disorder and the person

doing it often needs help to overcome it, but your

mom liking a lot of stuff or her reluctance to throw

things out, does not necessarily mean that she is a

hoarder.

Sometimes people grow up poor and when they

start to accumulate things, they place great value on

them as they represent a form of affluence or a depar-

ture from the days of nothing. In their effort to not go

backward, they might think that the more stuff they

have, the better off they are.

It could also be that because of her age, maybe

she has had a lot of losses, so now she holds onto

what she has because it has sentimental value.

Everything reminds her of something and those mem-

ories are probably what keep her going. If she lives

Keeping up with the Digital Age

I am not a techie, but I nonetheless try to keep up

with the digital age as best as I can. I remember when

I first became editor of the BVI Welcome Guide, the

previous editor, who was retiring and had for years

meticulously laid out the magazine in the painstaking

cut and paste method, told me that the new owners

planned to use computers to produce the magazine.

“This,” he warned me solemnly, “would not

work.” At the time, I wasn’t sure if

it would either. PCs in 1987 were

a relatively new phenomenon

and desktop publishing was

primitive. But still, I was game to

try. I had bought my first

MacIntosh (512K) in 1986 and I

was amazed at how I could cut

and paste. Mistakes! They were a

thing of the past. Just press back-

space and they were blown away

into a digital black hole, and with

a quick click of the keys they were replaced by the cor-

rect word or letter. Our staff produced the Welcome in

an early version of Pagemaker, and although we still

sent up artwork and slides to be scanned at the state-

side printers, we no longer had to worry about hun-

dreds of pasted on stories and paragraphs ungluing

themselves from the flats, creating a flurry of font-

filled confetti.

A few years ago the Welcome entered the

Facebook age. It seemed the natural way to go. My

staff was young and social network savvy – it was only

me who was clueless. So these web gurus set up the

page and in turn initiated me into the rites of

Facebook. If the Welcome was on FaceBook, I figured

I should be too. What I hadn’t count-

ed on was how out of control it

becomes. You get one friend and

suddenly dozens more pop up out of

nowhere wanting to be friends too.

Even people I had never heard of. Or,

maybe I had at one time . . . but that

was long ago.

It’s wonderful though when your

kids are proud of you and friends

warmly welcome you into the realm

of cyber socializing. Will twitter be

next? – it is for The Welcome, as is Instagram, Google+

and Pinterest. We’ll see about me though. I’m still

learning new tricks on my iPad.

You too can become a friend of the BVI Welcome

Guide by logging onto facebook.com and also follow

us on Twitter, Instagram, Goggle+ and Pinterest.

This time, it starts with Jane Fonda and ends with

Alan Ladd.

And among those in-between are Judy Garland,

Cary Grant, Marlon Brando, Barbara Stanwyck,

James Stewart, Audrey Hepburn, Paul Newman,

Faye Dunaway, Charlie Chaplin, Sophia Loren and

David Niven.

If August is approaching, it’s time for Turner

Classic Movies’ annual Summer

Under the Stars festival, showcas-

ing the films of one actor each day.

Channel hosts Robert Osborne

and Ben Mankiewicz offer insight

into the given performer, with

many tidbits about the featured

actor or actress as varied as the

attractions themselves.

Regular TCM viewers will rec-

ognize some of the stars have

been showcased before. Still, the

channel tries to “mix it up” in saluting notable charac-

ter actors along with typically top-billed talents; in

this round, Edmond O’Brien, Thelma Ritter, Joseph

Cotten and Herbert Marshall also get their own days.

Here are some standouts in the early Summer

Under the Stars features, noting the highlighted stars.

By Jay Bobbin

TCM Celebrates Another Summer Under the StarsThe China Syndrome (Jane Fonda, Friday, Aug. 1):

As both a star and producer, Fonda showed how time-

ly a topical drama could be ... especially since the

Three Mile Island nuclear power plant accident hap-

pened shortly after this film’s release.

The Pink Panther (David Niven, Saturday, Aug, 2):

While director Blake Edwards’ comedy is famous for

launching Peter Sellers’ Inspector Clouseau portrayal,

Niven is typically, ideally suave as

the jewel thief who’s dallying with

the detective’s wife.

Meet Me in St. Louis (Judy

Garland, Monday, Aug. 4): One of

Garland’s best musicals includes

The Trolley Song and Have

Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

Scarface (Paul Muni,

Wednesday, Aug, 6): Al Pacino’s

over-the-top version might be the

immediate touchstone, but Muni’s

50-years-earlier profile of a ruthless mobster also

endures.

The Naked Spur (James Stewart, Thursday, Aug,

7): Always at home in Westerns, Stewart had one of

his best with this saga of a bounty hunter pursuing a

lawman’s killer.

Chilling Among the World’s BestOf all the U20 athletes in or associated with the

territory and particularly those who will be a minimum

of 16 this year and are eligible to qualify for the July 22-

27 IAAF World Jr. Track & Field Championships in

Eugene, Oregon, only two have made the grade –

Nelda Huggins and Kyron McMaster.

Huggins, the first athlete to qualify, has done it in

both the 100/200m. The standard established by the

International Association of Athletics Federations

(IAAF) is 11.90/24.50 in her events.

She ran 24.48 seconds in the 200m early in the

season to qualify and has gotten

better since.

Huggins, who is from Top Notch

Track Club, was a Carifta Games

100m medalist in 2011, (bronze)

2012, (silver) 2013 (silver) and 2014

(bronze). She has sliced her 100m

best from the 11.77 seconds she

ran last year (and matched during

the Carifta Games in Martinique, in

April) to 11.59 in winning the U20

Girls event at last month’s BVI

Twilight Invitational.

The speedster who has won medals at the CUT

Games, Leeward Islands Youth Championships and

the CAC Jr. Championships, is coming off breaking her

own 200m standard of 23.91 seconds established

during the Carifta Games in April, with a run of 23.77

at the Antigua National Championships at the end of

June.

Versatile McMaster has been the male story of the

year. Already he has CAC Age Group Championships

High Jump medals to his credit – bronze from 2009

and silver in 2011 when the championships were held

here in 2014. The lanky 17 year old recorded personal

bests in the 100m, 200m, 400m, 400m Intermediate

Hurdles and 800m this season, qualifying for World

Jrs. In the 400m Hurdles, his new pet event.

No longer High Jumping, the novice has exactly

four hurdles races to his credit – three of them over

the 0.84m height, the regulation for U18 athletes. He

debuted with 56.31 seconds in January then followed

up with 56.08 to make the Carifta Games U18 Boys

final, before running 52.85 for the

bronze.

In his next race over the

0.914m barriers – U20 and colle-

gian regulations – he ran 53.26

seconds to qualify for World Jrs,

dipping under the 53.30 standard.

McMaster, the Fast Lane Track

Club flag bearer, is coming off tak-

ing down Keita Cline’s 23 year old

U18 Boys 200m National Youth

Record of 22.09 seconds with a

mark of 21.74 during the Antigua

National Championships, where he also shaved his

own 400m Youth Record from 48.14 to 48.10. He

missed equaling Aliston “Al” Potter’s 100m National

Youth Record of 10.96 seconds when he ran 10.97. He

has also a 2:09.00 to his credit in the 800m.

Huggins will face the starter on July 22 in the

100m heats and again on July 24 in the 200m.

McMaster will run the fifth 400m Hurdles race of his

career on July 23.

Kyron McMaster & Nelda Huggins

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.
