2015 Green VI CHAIR-ity Festival & FundraiserThis Week’s Feature Story by Arlena Smith

2015 Green VI’s Annual CHAIR-ity Exhibit and

Auction Festival fundraiser is slated to take place on

Saturday, 7 February 2015 at Nanny Cay beach from

noon until 6pm. Now in its 4th year, the festival helps

educate students, businesses and families by encour-

aging the Green VI’s trash to treasure concept. Having

grown the CHAIR-ity event over the past four years,

the organizers are combining the

youth, adult and corporate entries

this year. The new format for the

show will include an eco festival

with vendor booths, plant sales

and a beach barbeque.

Proceeds from the festival go

directly to Green VI and are used to

promote their sustainability efforts

along the themes of waste, educa-

tion, energy and water. Besides

Green VI’s Glass studio in Cane Garden Bay, the not-

for-profit organization also assists the Department of

Waste Management with implementing a comprehen-

sive waste management strategy, facilitates environ-

mental education and sustainability training, cat-

alyzed the voluntary plastic bag ban and greened Ivan

Dawson Primary School among many other projects.

Anyone may participate whether an individual or

group. This year, the aim is to also highlight BVI busi-

nesses that encourage sustainable living principles.

Therefore, the organizers have added a corporate

entry category to the adult event touted as a fun com-

pany team-building exercise. The top winners of the

corporate entries will each

receive a $300 gift certificate

from one of three BVI restaurants

to be used toward a corporate

party.

Entries will be judged on use

of recycled materials and aes-

thetics. Chairs may be made from

scratch or entrants may recycle

an old chair. Cash and gift prizes

are awarded for the top entries.

More details for the event are available onFacebook at 2015 CHAIR-ity Festival as well aswww.greenvi.org. To receive an entry form, pleaseemail prettierplanet@gmail.com or visit or callNutmeg Designs Tel: 494-9151 to pick up an old chairframe and entry form.

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.

I Live Where Most Vacation

Am sure we all heard the catch phrase, “I live

where you vacation” and for us on most days we go

about our busy day to day lives and we forget that

someone somewhere is looking at a computer

screen or a magazine thinking, “I wish I was there

right now.” Especially on the East Coast where this

winter has been particularly brutal. But the fact of it

is, we do live in paradise where some only dream

one day to visit.

One of the best parts of island living for me is

being able to enjoy fresh seafood whenever my

heart desires. Most weekends when I walk down on

the docks close to my house, the docks are scattered

with people fishing. My husband loves to fish so he

is always out there throwing his line and I must say

he is quite good. Thanks to him I have had fresh fish

for breakfast the last couple of weeks. Sometimes I

happen upon someone doing a photo shoot with

hopes of catching the majestic sunset in the back-

ground. A setting some have to create with green

screens and computers is ours for the taking. And

sometimes I just sit out on the dock and take in the

fresh air, watch the boat and ferries go by and mar-

vel at how great the water is on that particular day.

There are so many other reasons to love this par-

adise we call home. The endless beaches, the beau-

tiful scenery, the fresh seafood and the pristine

weather. It’s something everyone should experience

at least once in a lifetime.

So, next time you are in your car or walking down

the street or wherever you are, take a moment and

remember that despite all, we are blessed to live in

such paradise and take a moment to appreciate that

“We live were most only dream of vacationing”.

Gone Girl is a 2014 American psychological

thriller directed by David Fincher and adapted for

film by Gillian Flynn from her 2012 novel of the same

name. Rosamund Pike's performance as the lead

actress was particularly praised, and she received

nominations for the Academy Award for Best

Actress, BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading

Role, Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a

Motion Picture – Drama and Screen Actors Guild

Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female

Actor in a Leading Role. The film itself garnered an

additional three Golden Globe Award nominations,

including Best Director for Fincher and Best

Screenplay for Flynn.

The day of his fifth wedding anniversary, Nick

Dunne (Ben Affleck) returns home to find that his wife

Amy (Rosamund Pike) is missing. Her disappearance

receives heavy press coverage, as Amy was the inspi-

ration for her parents' popular Amazing Amy chil-

dren's books. Soon, suspicions arise that her hus-

band Nick murdered her, and his awkward demeanor

is interpreted by the media as questionable.

Meanwhile, there are no real leads on Amy’s

whereabouts and flashbacks reveal that Nick and

Amy's marriage has disintegrated almost beyond

repair after they both lost their jobs in the recession

and moved from New York City to Missouri. Nick has

become lazy, distant, uninterested and is having an

affair with one of his students.

Detective Rhonda Boney (Kim Dickens) is

assigned to the case and uncovers evidence of finan-

cial troubles and domestic disputes, a report indi-

cating that Amy wanted to purchase a gun, and the

poorly concealed evidence of a struggle. She also

finds a medical report indicating that Amy is preg-

nant, however, when she shows the findings to Nick,

he denies all knowledge.

Nick convinces his twin sister, Margo (Carrie

Coon) of his innocence and after his mistress reveals

their affair at a press conference, he appears on a

talk show to apologize for his failures as a husband

in the hope of luring Amy back, swearing that he is

sorry for all that he has done but that he is not her

murderer.

Nick’s appearance does a lot to improve his pub-

lic image, but there are still many unanswered ques-

tions. Will this TV plea bring Amy back? And, if not –

is Lee the one that has killed her and this is just his

latest move in trying to cover it up? Or, could it be

that he telling the truth… Don’t miss it – available on

DVD and on iTunes now.

thing else. You are an in-house role model, always on

display; how shameful would it be when they engage

in bad behavior and you confront them only to realize

they are copying what they see in you?

• Discipline. Love lends itself to discipline because

children must learn respect and must be taught the

difference between right and wrong. Don’t try to run

your home without rules and be consistent with what

you stand for and what you won’t accept.

• Quality Time. Don’t wear yourself out at work and

with other activities and give them leftovers; do things

together as a family, like talking walks or watching a

movie on television. They need to know they are a pri-

ority for you.

• Teach them life skills like how to handle conflict,

how to make wise decisions, how to stand up to peer

pressure and other important values and principles.

Maybe we ourselves were never taught these

things so how can we impart them? Start by just mak-

ing the effort because practice does indeed make per-

fect. Try a little at a time, ask for help, read books and

have enormous faith and a lot of patience, because

you will need it.

A Great Parent Gives Good Gifts!

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

There must be thousands of books written on par-

enting but they cannot fully describe the joy and pride

parents feel when their children are well behaved,

graduate or win a trophy for athletic prowess. They

also do not completely explain the pain of a child who

is rude, disrespectful, who steals, lies or engages in

cruel behavior; but who feels it, knows it. Parenting is

a bittersweet experience for many and a roller-coaster

of good days and bad. It is a pleasure and it is a chal-

lenge.

One of the things parents do no matter how rich or

poor is to give gifts. What can we give our children that

can profoundly and positively impact their lives,

enrich their existence and prepare them to be awe-

some adults? The most meaningful gifts cannot be

bought with money; here are some of them:

• Introduce them to spirituality. Teach your child to

develop a relationship with God and that will be for

them a source of peace, strength and a stronger sense

of security.

• Love. While we express our love through the way

we care for our children and provide for them, we also

need to say the words ‘I love you” to them often. Let

them know that they can always count on you.

• Communication. Spend time listening to your chil-

dren and sharing with them. Most teenagers don’t like

to talk but if you show interest in who and what is

important to them, they are much more likely to open

up.

• A good example. Behave in a way that your child

can emulate. They notice what you say, what you do,

how you speak to each other as parents and every-

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

By Dean “The Sportsman” Greenaway

Entering its eight year of operation, the YouthEmpowerment Program (YEP) is carving its footprintas it caters to young people in the areas of sports, artsand culture among other endeavors.

Executive Director Stacy Mather said children inthe area have a deep interest in basketball and theyhave tried their uttermost to get them playing on thecourt adjacent to their building. They have alsoattempted to bring in coaches and participate inleagues.

He said they have also triedintroducing volleyball, but eventhough it’s a sport that some mayknow in the primary school, it’smore popular in the high school andit has been very well received. Theteams have also been very wellreceived in the tournaments theyhave participated in, in Sea CowsBay and at the Save The SeedCenter.

“The nature of our communityis a competitive community. Children love to compete,they love to win and they are interested in competingat any time,” he noted, but said there are challenges.“Like anything, when you’re dealing with childrenconsistency is very important. We have the facility andtry to have the material that’s necessary. Last year, weattempted to utilize coaches to help,” he added. “Wehave had persons who are very talented but time con-straints wouldn’t allow them to assist. We have peo-ple that say ‘I’m coming, I’m coming’ but haven’t givenus a time and a date and they still haven’t come. Andwe have those who show up and are willing, butmight not have that nurturing spirit – that demeanor –

to work with children. Its a situation where we are try-ing to find that right person.”

As a non profit organization, Mather said anotherissue would be funding as they are asking people togive of their time and some people, understandably,need to be compensated. “That’s our challenge nowwhere sports are concerned but we continue to presson,” he stated. “Ideally, I would like to see YEP be arecognized organization where children will be partic-

ipating in basketball, volleyball andother tournaments. But, I wantwhen a tournament is going on, Iwant people to say ‘let’s call YEPbecause YEP is going to beinvolved.’ We also want to host ourown activities—it’s quite necessaryto do so.”

Mini soccer and dodge ball arelikely to be pushed this year hesaid, among their offerings, thatalso include art, basic painting,environmental studies, community

service projects, visits to outer islands and aquaticbased activities during the summer.

Animation and comic book reading have also beenintroduced. “We’re trying to get children moreengaged in reading and we’re sneaking it up on themby watching the colors, watching the action and notrealizing they are reading,” explained Mather, whoseprograms cater to persons outside the 7th and 8thDistricts, particularly in summer. “We have gardeningright now and a few other recyclable projects. We tryto do confidence building, team building and selfesteem type things and we also try to teach the chil-dren the importance of working together.”
