Old Story Time – Jamaican Drama Plays Out at HLSCCThis Week’s Feature Story

Don’t miss this weekend’s theatrical treat at

HLSCC, the University of the Virgin Islands’ production

of Old Story Time, a play written by Trevor D. Rhone

and directed by David Edgecombe. Showtimes are

Friday and Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 4pm and

the production is a tribute to the author’s outstanding

contribution to Caribbean theatre.

The play is a Jamaican tale about Len Tomlinson

(Noel Charles), his mother Miss Aggie (Heather

Hogarth Smith), his wife Lois (Jamilya Christopher),

and his adversary George (Joshua Jno-Pierre). Pa Ben

(George Silcott, Jr.) is the skilful storyteller who works

hard to broker peace and advocates love and under-

stand above all else.

Miss Aggie is a salt-of-the-earth Caribbean

woman “from country” who has nothing but the high-

est of ambitions for her son Len. She pushes him to

study hard and encourages him to marry Margaret

(Asheda Maccow). However, when she catches Len

frolicking at the river with his childhood playmate,

Pearle (Carlla Morris), she gives him a good beating.

Later, as an Economics student in England, Len

marries Lois, the pretty black woman he fell in love

with before leaving

Jamaica, which does not

please his “mama.”

On his return to

Jamaica with Lois, Len

must confront his old

enemy George, who

brutally ill-treated him

throughout high school

with the help of Margaret, who is now married to

George.

Len discovers that George amassed a fortune

through unscrupulous development schemes, and

soon learns that the crooked banker also robbed his

“mama” of her life savings. He assembles the evi-

dence that could see George, and perhaps even

Margaret in jail.

However, Len learns quickly that he will have to

fight “mama” before he can carry out his “moral right

to rid society” of “a scum” like George. And “mama’s”

weapon of choice is “Obeah!”

Tickets are $20 each. For ticketing and other

information call Linette Baa on 852-7223.

Daughter not meeting expectations

Ask Koren

Ask KorenYour personal E-therapist is in the house!

Send your questions confidentially to [email protected].

Dear Koren,I am having two issues with my 16 year old

daughter. First of all, we are already in January andshe does not seem to be taking her CXC studying seri-ously and she is taking eight subjects. Secondly, sheis saying she wants to follow in my footsteps and bea nurse, but I know that nursing is really hard workwith not much pay. How do I motivate her with the firstissue and discourage her with the second?

–Concerned and Distressed Mother

Dear Concerned and Distressed Mother,

I can understand your concerns, but do not be

distressed. Look at the positives here: Your daughter

has made it to her final year of school when many stu-

dents have dropped out or became pregnant, she is

ambitious, she talks to you about her goals, and she

admires you enough to want to follow in your foot-

steps. All in all, I would say that you have a lot to be

thankful for.

Sometimes we start our kids off in school early

and they go from day care right up to high school so

by the time they get to 5th form they might be tired. If

she has just finished preparing her SBA’s, her brain

must really need a break. So try to see things from her

viewpoint.

Try motivating her and encourage her to read her

notes and textbooks – this

way, she does not feel

intense pressure and infor-

mation will stick in her

mind. While you want the

best for her, it is early and

she can build up momen-

tum slowly, rather than

cramming and then she crashes and burns. Try to be

supportive, rather than nagging and help her to utilize

her strengths to achieve success.

As it relates to her choice of career, nursing is an

essential service. The benefits might not be all mone-

tary, but your daughter might get a sense of satisfac-

tion from knowing that she is making a difference in

people’s lives. Also, if she chooses to go overseas,

nurses are paid a lot more and their services are quite

valuable.

Obviously, you have represented the career well,

which would have had some influence on her. Instead

of discouraging her against choosing nursing, it

would be a better idea to explain to her the pros and

cons of being in the profession and help her to make

a good decision.

Education on the Go!Recently, I was over on Anegada with friends to

spend a few days visiting and just limin’ in general. On

day two, we spent some time at Loblolly at the Big

Bamboo – a favorite watering hole (both for the swim-

ming and the libations). Whilst we were there, we

encountered a blaze of brightly colored tee-shirts and

a cacophony of voices to rival the sound of the waves.

We discovered that this was a group of ninety-one,

Class Four (Grade Five) students from Althea Scatliffe

Primary School on Tortola who were on a field trip.

Ninety-one young voices unleashed – the sheer ener-

gy alone could have raised the roof.

Teachers and chaperons engaged, corralled,

guided, joked and hung out with their charges. And as

we got talking to the teachers, we learned that

Natasha Marshall, Head of Grade Five, had organized

this field trip to complete the class work she and fel-

low teachers had taught in Social Studies. They had

just finished studying the islands of the BVI and had

decided that the best way to conclude the studies was

to take the class on the road – and on the water to see

the islands for themselves.

The teachers had contacted Carnel Clyne, Senior

Product Officer for the BVI Tourist Board & Film

Commission who was asked to narrate the trip. Their

first stop was to Norman and Salt Islands where he

delighted the children by reminding them that Pirates

of the Caribbean was partially filmed on Norman

Island. Their next stop was Anegada and as they made

their approach, the reef in all its glory became the

topic of conversation and education. After disembark-

ing from the ferry, the group toured the island check-

ing out the numerous salt ponds, flamingos, wild don-

keys and cows.

At lunch at the Big Bamboo, where we met the

group, the children marveled at the lobster car being

pulled from the ocean teeming with the live crus-

taceans. They scattered about to pick sea grapes from

the abundant trees throughout the property and

climbed from the trees to the shaded hammocks.

One student, Shekinah Stoutt, had never been to

Anegada before. She said the island was very long

and flat with sandy, bumpy roads with pretty flamin-

gos and friendly people. She would like to go back.

The trip concluded with a swim at Cow Wreck Beach

on the north side of the island.

It was very encouraging to see these young peo-

ple enjoying their land and sea and also to note that

the adults with them recognize how important it is for

these leaders of tomorrow to be informed and enthu-

siastic about their home. Carnel Clyne agreed and

said “Expose, appreciate and maintain – that’s what

this is about.” I say “right on” and add – don’t forget

to celebrate and enjoy!

Midnight in Paris

Imagine being an aspiring novelist who loves jazz

music and revels in the atmosphere of Paris (gosh,

that sounds like me) who finds himself in a time

warp and comes face to face with F. Scott Fitzgerald,

Josephine Baker and Ernest Hemingway!

Well that’s what happens to Gil, a success-

ful Hollywood screenwriter, who accompanies his

fiancée Inez and her parents on a business trip to

Paris. Her father dislikes the French but can’t resist a

deal.

Things start off well, with the usual sightseeing

trips, but the situation deteriorates when they bump

into a know-it-all friend of Inez who’s an expert on

everything and insists on showing them round. Inez

(Rachel McAdams) is fascinated, while Gil prefers to

wander the streets of Paris on his own, soaking up

the atmosphere.

Written and directed by Woody Allen,Midnight

in Paris stars Owen Wilson as Gil and features some

excellent footage of the world’s most romantic city in

all its phases – bright and sunny or pouring with rain

– it never loses its charm – except for Inez who’d

rather be back in California.

Gil’s trip back in time to an era he loves, starts

to colour his vision of the perfect life. He suggests to

Inez they get married and move to Paris where he

can get his creative juices flowing. She thinks he’s

nuts. When Gil meets Pablo Picasso and falls for his

beguiling mistress Adriana (Marion Cotillard), things

start getting complicated.

The film, acclaimed as one of Woody Allen’s

best, demonstrates what happens when people

believe a life different from their own is somehow

better.

By Dean “The Sportsman” Greenaway

When the 2012 Track and Field season opened on

Saturday with the Gatorade Development Series, ath-

letes showed that they were raring to go. It was the

start of a season like we have never seen before — a

season of great promise.

Just 17 days earlier, athletes had collected

awards during the 3rd BVI Athletics Association

Athletes Awards Recognition Gala and it didn’t take

long for them to set the tone for the season.

First, joint Sol BVI Youth Female Athlete of the

Year and 2011 Carifta Games 100m bronze medalist

Nelda Huggins, blasted her speciality in under 12 sec-

onds. Then her award counterpart, Tarika “Tinker

Bell” Moses, flirted with the 800m National Youth

Record with the fastest hand time ever recorded by an

Under 18s athlete.

Shortly there after, Lakeisha “Mimi” Warner, the

BVI Athletics Association’s 2011 Most Improved

Female Athlete of The Year, bested 800m Sr. National

Record holder Samantha John during her first race

back in the 400m, getting to the line in 58.30 seconds.

While the girls have been shining since 2005, it

was good to see the boys not being outdone. J’Maal

Alexander sprinted under 10.8 seconds in the 100m

and Shaquoy Stephens repelled the 2011 Colonial

Comeback Athlete of The Year, Deshawn “Fast Man”

Douglas in the 400m, with a 50.26 time.

All of the above mentioned were at last year’s

Carifta Games and they’ve again put their names to

the selectors as candidates for this year’s trip to the

games in Bermuda in early April.

“Compared to previous years, I think today we

started off with a big bang,” Meet Director Dag

Samuels declared after Saturday’s meet.

“We had several performances that we have to

take note of although all the running events were

hand timed. We had some really fast times in the

800m, where Tarika Moses ran 2 minutes and 19 sec-

onds hand time; Nelda ran under 12 seconds and

boys under 11 and we had a low 50 seconds in the

400m. All in all, I think we had a good beginning for

our development series.”

Samuels said that from what was seen in the

season opener, by the fourth race in the Gatorade

Development Series, there’ll be good things coming.

“By that time, everybody will be into their own events

and we should see some fantastic performances,

both on the field and on the track,” he stated.

As its an Olympic year, our eyes will be on

Chantel Malone, Ashley Kelly and Karene King in par-

ticular, all of whom will try to join Tahesia Harrigan-

Scott in London, when the Games open on July 27.

The Olympic hopefuls began their indoor season

over the weekend, but it will not be until they get out-

doors in their regular events, that they’ll be looking at

qualifying marks.

We’ll monitor as the season progresses, as they

have until July 8th to hit the London qualifying stan-

dards.
