Lester Lewis - Gospel Reggae ArtistThis Week’s Feature Story by Jane Bakewell

Jamaican-born Lester Lewis is a cultural icon in in

the music world having pioneered a form of music

called Gospel Reggae – an infusion of Reggae

rhythms with Christian-themed lyrics. He’s travelled

a long way from his humble roots in Jamaica, where

as a child he honed his musical talent on a “sardine

pan guitar.” Encouraged by friends for his talent, he

continued playing, finally acquiring a proper guitar

and later marrying his wife Rose, who left her career

to join him fulltime as a singer

and songwriter.

He recorded his first album in

1988 while in Curacao. A hit from

that album was the song, Don’t

Try and Tell Me God is Dead.

Lester was set free from a drug

using past and now has a mes-

sage of hope and healing he

wants to bring to the world. A call

from a friend to come back to

Jamaica and enter the annual Gospel Festival would

unknowingly catapult him to international fame.

Lester’s song, Every Time I Read My Bible, won a

major award at the competition. Soon after Lewis

recorded Jesus is the Winna (Winner) Man, which was

picked up by famous Gospel artist Ron Kenoly, who

recorded his version giving the song international

attention.

Lester, his wife Rose and son, musician Lestrado

and daughter Estena along with the Dominion Band

have traveled to over 40 nations, including Africa, the

US, Europe and South America. In 1986 they estab-

lished Kingdom Culture Music, to celebrate what

Lester says comes out naturally, “God created the

music for His pleasure, it all belongs to Him.” Lester

and Rose bring a dynamic musical

performance dressed in African cul-

tural attire and engaging the audi-

ence in the music. Lester’s desire is

that people will not only enjoy the

music, but be transformed by the

message. Seed of the Womanhis lat-est CD will be available for purchase.

Lester and Singing Rose will be

bringing their upbeat musical mes-

sage this Friday, Sept 19th at the

Gospel Concert in Noel Lloyd Park beginning at

7:30pm. Other musicians include Psalmist Sammy

“Muziq” Medas from Guyana and Christian record-

ing artist Judy Turnbull from St Thomas along with

the Transformation Church International Choir and

dance teams. Admission is free.

immediately if your

boyfriend or anyone else

passes their place with

her and do not let her get

into the habit of taking

things from men who are

not family members.

To know if he has ulterior motives, observe him

closely. See if he pays more attention to your daugh-

ter than you, listen to the way he speaks about

women and girls, be alert if he only shows up to visit

at a time when she is around. If he tries to be overly

concerned or controlling about how she dresses and if

she talks to boys that could mean more than a father-

ly type interest.

While you must be cautious, still do your best not

to be paranoid or not to accuse him unjustly of any-

thing. Remember that in spite of the horrible act of

that other person, you still deserve to be loved and

not all men are bad. If you are blaming yourself for

what happened in the past and for missing the signs,

you have to forgive yourself. Apologize to your daugh-

ter if the way you handled the situation hurt her in any

way. You can find love while still protecting your

daughter.

Protecting My Daughter

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

Dear Koren,Two years ago I had to break up with a man

because he touched my daughter who was 14. It wasa whole big thing. Now I’m dating another guy forabout seven months and I am so nervous when hecomes to visit if he even looks in her direction. ShouldI tell him what happened? How do I know if he hasulterior motives? –Concerned Mom

Dear Concerned Mom,

After what has happened to your child before,

you have every right to be cautious and protective.

Limit any time he spends alone with her until you

know that he is trustworthy and interested in only

you. Ensure that he does not come to the house if

you are not at home.

You do not need to tell him what happened right

now. That might make your daughter uncomfortable

for this man to know her private business and also,

you do not know where this relationship is going.

What you should let him know in no uncertain terms

is that you love and care about your daughter and

you have a no-tolerance policy to anyone messing

with her.

While you seek to protect your daughter, teach her

to protect herself. Encourage her to stand up for her-

self if approached by anyone and to discuss with you

Your personal E-therapist, is in the house!Ask Koren

One success deserves another. And in television,

two successes ... well, you just know a third attempt

will be coming.

Star Trek, Law & Order and CSI: Crime SceneInvestigation are among the franchises that have

enjoyed such expansions, and NCIS also is growingagain.

Launched by a two-part episode on the parent

series last season, the filmed-on-location NCIS: NewOrleans makes its CBS debut Tuesday, Sept. 23,immediately after the 12th-year premiere of the typi-

cally top-rated NCIS. (The first spinoff, NCIS: LosAngeles, moves to Mondays for its sixth season start-ing Sept. 29.)

Scott Bakula — who also helped extend StarTrek via the series Star Trek: Enterprise — stars as

Dwayne Pride, the native-son Special Agent in

charge of the Big Easy’s Naval Criminal Investigative

Service bureau. Lucas Black American Gothic andZoe McLellan JAG play members of his team, with

CCH Pounder The Shield as a coroner who assiststhem.

NCIS star Mark Harmon is one of the new drama’sexecutive producers, as is the original show’s Gary

Glasberg.

“I hope people come, but you never know,” the

friendly Bakula says. “It’s always a tricky thing.

You’ve gotta earn it. The pilot had a lot of characters

and a lot of plot, and it was fun, but I think I had four

days between the time the deal was wrapped and I

was sitting at the table read. It was crazy, but there

will be influence from the other show, and I think

that’s great.”

NCIS Moves Into New Orleans

Indeed, viewers can expect New Orleanscrossovers by NCIS cast members including Harmon,Michael Weatherly, Pauley Perrette and David

McCallum. Unlike NCIS: Los Angeles, Harmon had adirect hand in developing the new show, which origi-

nally had been pitched as a multiple-episode NCISstory.

“We know more about NCIS as an agency than we

did 11 years ago or 12 years ago,” Harmon reflects, “so

the fact that there was this office that offered this loca-

tion, and the excitement that Gary had ... as we talked

about it, it was just so glaringly obvious that there was

a lot more in here than two hours.”

Glasberg’s involvement in both shows is “the nice

thing” about the new spinoff creatively, Bakula

believes: “He has a good feeling for what works. This

is a completely different writing team, but he’s over-

seeing it all.

“We have the luxury of that lead-in, and somewhat

of a built-in expectation and audience, so there won’t

be the typical network ‘You’ve gotta hook ‘em now!’

There should be some patience, some time and some

easing-in — and I’m really curious about how this will

be received.”

The Off SeasonPlease don’t misunderstand the title of this short

missive. I know the off season is also the rainy sea-

son – but amazingly so far this year we have had a

remarkably dry wet season. Normally, though,

September can be wet and humid encouraging the

breeding of mosquitoes thus tempting us to reach

for that can of insect repellant called…“Off.” Perhaps

it should read the “Slow Season.”

Isn’t life grand during the off season? Traffic jams

are decreasing, tour buses are gone, beaches are

empty, supermarkets are vying for business by offer-

ing more promotions and there’s a more relaxed

atmosphere everywhere. Of course the downside is

that for many of us who rely on the tourist season for

our livelihood, the money supply has dried up and a

bit of belt tightening becomes necessary. But don’t

let frugality get in the way of life’s simple pleasures.

Now is the time to take advantage of our island

paradise. Get your camera out and go to the beach,

hike the Sage Mountain trails, visit the unique

Baths, explore Norman Island’s treasure caves. All

our attractions become so much more enjoyable in

the peaceful off season.

Anegada is never over crowded but some estab-

lishments there are offering unbeatable deals – a

bed and breakfast in one of the beachside guest

houses, for example. And don’t forget, Anegada is

flat so a rental scooter for getting around becomes

an attractive and fun option. Wizz around the island,

wind in your hair and enjoy a sense of freedom

unlike anywhere else in the BVI. You can enjoy fea-

tures of the archipelago’s furthest outlier that are

unique. Take some time and quietly approach a flock

of pink flamingoes, visit the unique iguana sanctu-

ary in the Settlement, walk the miles of pristine

sandy beaches and spy the comical ghost crabs –

and at the end of the day sip a sundowner and enjoy

an uninterrupted sunset. You might have the place

to yourselves.

Virgin Gorda’s Baths are spectacular at any time

but during the off season they are particularly spe-

cial. The popular trail through the boulders is only a

part of the experience, albeit a photographer’s

dream. The Crawl (derived from corral) is a pond sur-

rounded by boulders and is perfect for rock jumping.

One thing about the Baths, though, is that the snor-

keling is spectacular and different and even better

when you’re not bumping into crowds of, tour boat

snorkelers. Corals, algae, sea fans, gorgonians, sea

urchins and shellfish attach themselves to the

undersea boulders to form unique and picturesque

vistas. The off season is often blessed with flat calm

seas, perfect for snorkeling.

Other sister islands offer similar attractions

especially Jost van Dyke with its adjacent cays of

Sandy Spit and Sandy Cay but I have to stop now. I’m

off to Cane Garden Bay for a swim and a walk on a

deserted beach. 'Check for ferry schedule and avail-

ability of amenities described.'

If you loved the unlikely bond that built a bridge

across chauffeur and mistress, race and class in the

film, Driving Miss Daisy, you will be touched by thisheartwarming French film that garnered international

awards. Based on a true story, the film centers around

two characters – Philippe (Francois Cluzet) a wealthy

quadriplegic confined to a wheelchair and Driss

(Omar Sy) a black immigrant from the Paris ghettos on

parole for robbery. You say – “never the twain shall

meet” but they do, as Philippe in search of a new care-

taker has his staff conduct interviews and Driss, the

“seemingly” most unqualified candidate – looking for

a quick refusal to get his unemployment benefits, is

hired. It appears Philippe isn’t interested in degrees

and pity parties and takes a liking to the humorous

irreverence in this street-wise man.

The movie follows the deepening of their friend-

ship – much beyond employer/employee and is a

delightful series of funny vignettes as cultures and

attitudes that would normally clash somehow flow

through mutual respect and love.

They share a bond for fast cars and Philippe sits

strapped in alongside Driss with a wide smile on his

face as he speeds dangerously out of the congested

city for a “breath of fresh air.” Of course the police pur-

sue Driss, who within moments is placed in handcuffs

facedown on the hood. However, some smooth talk-

ing and fake acting on both parts about an emergency

hospital visit and voila, they both go free.

Driss moves into the mansion and has an impact

on the whole household, openly lusting after the sexy

secretary, humoring the nurse and encouraging

Philippe to discipline his spoiled teenage daughter.

But what grabs the viewers’ affections are the fun

games and antics, deep feelings and growing bonds

of these two unlikely friends. Whether it is Dris’s intro-

duction to classical music and opera or Philippe’s

introduction to dance with rhythm and soul, there is a

symbiosis between the two that is infectious.

There is a hilarious scene where Driss plays a

personal barber to Philippe and instead of a clean

shave has fun with forming his facial hair with each

cut into another character. Philippe is not amused at

first, but unable to stop him, eventually goes with

the game and laughs at each new characterization.

What we realize about Driss is that he totally “gets”

Philippe and never allows his handicap to prevent

him from attaining any of his dreams. The ending,

which I won’t give away, plays on this in a beautiful

poignant moment.

This is a “buddy movie” that transcends likely

male bonding between those of similar backgrounds

and interests. How much of it actually follows the true

life story of these two men is not important – the view-

er is just happy to be along for the ride! French withEnglish subtitles.

It’s a “bad” time in television sitcoms for some

respected professions.

After CBS’ recent Bad Teacher comes NBC’s BadJudge, premiering Thursday, Oct. 2, and markingPrivate Practice alum Kate Walsh’s return to serieswork. She plays Rebecca Wright, who oversees

cases in the Los Angeles County judicial system with

a tough demeanor ... but off the bench, anything

goes for her.

Change may be in the offing, though, thanks to

the young son (Theodore Barnes) of a couple she

sentenced. He looks to her for guidance, which may

prompt her to rethink her lifestyle — or not.

An executive producer on Bad Judge as well, thelively Walsh says that from reading the first few

pages of the pilot script, she knew that “I want to be

this lady, who wakes up with a hangover and stum-

bles around getting a pregnancy test. And then the

reveal is that she’s a judge was just awesome to me,

and she drums and she’s dealing with guys and a kid

from the system.

“There was so much there for me that it was just

super-appealing,” adds Walsh. “I think I felt like I had

my nose pressed up against the candy store, and

that was like, ‘That’s all the candy.’ All the candy is

Bad Judge.”Along with Nurse Jackie alum Liz Brixius and fre-

quent collaborators Will Ferrell and Adam McKay,

another notable executive producer of Bad Judge isAnne Heche, who’s done her own share of comedy

acting on TV including a recurring role on NBC’s “The

Michael J. Fox Show” last season.

“I did not think that I would be in this show,”

Kate Walsh Rules as Bad Judge

Heche says of staying behind the scenes on it,

though a guest shot certainly is possible. “I’ve

always dreamed of being a person who could create

great roles for complicated, beautiful, strong

women, and Bad Judge came to me because I’vealways been a little bit fascinated by judgment. I

don’t know if you know any of my history, but I’ve

been a bit of a rule breaker.

“The idea that people judge and they obviously

are human as well, who are they? And then we put

them in a position of power, and what happens when

(they) take off their robe? I was like, ‘Wow, that’s real-

ly fun. I love that idea. What if there was a bad judge?’

And then, voila: She appeared.”

With the title character appearing in the persona

of Walsh, one of the makers of Bad Judge gets some-thing of a constant shout-out in the show.

“There was this stunted adolescent part of her

that I feel like we celebrate in men,” Walsh reasons,

“and certainly, I have. It’s one of the reasons why I love

Will Ferrell, but I want to see a female doing that.”Kate Walsh stars in Bad Judge, premiering

Thursday on NBC.

19th College Classic Series Kicking OffWith a small field turning out for the start of the

19th season of the annual Highland Spring College

Classic Series last Saturday in Virgin Gorda, the

Tortola leg swings into full action this weekend in

Paraquita Bay.

The 2-miles race begins at 7am with registration

opening from 6:30am There’s no registration fee.

“It’s time to get that excitement up because the

series is back,” race director Stephanie Russ Penn

said. “The temperature is good as it has been. I’ve

had persons emailing and calling. Groups are getting

ready to go. Road Town Wholesale is one of the teams

ready and I anticipate that the Service Clubs are get-

ting themselves sorted to see who will come out and

potentially bring an end to the long standing run of

victories by the Rotary Club of Tortola, or whether

they are still going to be unbeatable.”

Penn said she’s looking forward to the participa-

tion of the various schools but have to do some work

as they only opened last week. Many schools partic-

ipate in the Cross Country races as well as their

respective individual age groups.

Over the last few years one race had been dedi-

cated as the race for a cause but Penn said after con-

sideration they have deiced to make it every other

year. Next year is the series’ 20th anniversary and that

will be one of their activities.

“Every now and then, like last year, although it

wasn’t planned, we did do a race that also facilitat-

ed a race for a cause that was being put on in anoth-

er location by the BVI Cancer Society,” she noted.

“However, we never know what might come up

along the way but we are certainly willing to facili-

tate helping others in the process. But, we don’t

have anything specifically slated for this year.”

In the last few years, the race has attracted par-

ticipants from the University of the Virgin Islands and

Eudora Kean High School from St. Thomas.

“All we ask is that people show up by 6:30 so

that they can register and begin racing at 7 a.m.”

Penn said.

Since its 1996 inception, the concept of the series

had been not only for mass community participation

and fitness but for team sports to use the series as

part of their off-season conditioning. Unfortunately,

none of the associations have capitalized.

However, many track and field athletes who have

gone on to represent the territory in regional and

international competitions have benefitted from using

the series as a measurement of their conditioning,

with their results showing during the season.

Other races in the Tortola leg are set for October 4

and 25 with the series finalé on November 15. Other

races on Virgin Gorda are scheduled for September 27

and October 18.

They're off and running

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.
