A Shout Out for Actors and ActressesThis Week’s Feature Story by Jane Bakewell

The Tortola Dance Project has decided to stage

and choreograph the popular musical Chicago and is

using local talent for the cast. This musical, one of the

longest running on Broadway, centers around the

20’s Jazz era in Chicago and the high profile case of

two women accused of homicide with both of their

victims men.

In 1924 the cases of two women charged with

murder, gripped the headlines of the press and the

public simultaneously. The Chicago Tribune sensa-

tionalized these cases and many felt that attractive

feminine women could not be convicted. The columns

by reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins were so popular,

she decided to write a play based on them, which

debuted on Broadway in 1926. The rest is history.

The story is a satirical look at corruption, Chicago-

style justice and the rise of the “celebrity criminal.”

Songs and dance reflect the Jazz period and smoky

Chicago nightclubs.

Held under the BVI Dance School Adult Classes,

this musical is open to both men and women 18 years

and older. There is still time to sign up for the ten

rehearsal classes held on Tuesday and Thursday

evenings from 7:30-8:30 pm from January 6th to

February 5th. The fee for the ten classes is $100 and

pre-registration is required.

All classes will be held at the Prospect Studio

across from Dolphin Discovery in Tortola. For further

information contact Diandra Jones at BVI Dance

School 546-2459 or email diandradance@gmail.com.

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.

tion is not just harmless flirting because some things

should be reserved for an intimate partner and that is

one of them. In many instances, flirtatious talk has

lead to the exchange of pictures and then it leads to a

sexual bond and can result in infidelity. He should be

able to respect the relationship that he is in and estab-

lish some boundaries with other females, especially

considering how hard he worked to get you.

Your feelings of insecurity stem from the fact that

you know what he is capable of and you are not con-

vinced he has changed. He has to acknowledge if he

has a problem with unfaithfulness or if he can stay

committed and monogamous and you have to decide

if you are willing to trust him and not hold his past

over him when you see consistent, demonstrated

effort towards change. Ask him to respect the relation-

ship and be supportive of his efforts.

Dear Koren, I'm in a relationship with a man who cheated on

his previous girlfriend to date me. When I found out Ibroke up with him, and he has since broken up withher and pursued a committed relationship with me.That was 3 years ago and we now have twin sonstogether. I recently overheard him in a rather sexuallyexplicit conversation with another woman. He seesnothing wrong with the harmless flirting but I think itsthe start of history repeating itself and I’m not willingto stay in the relationship. He thinks I'm throwingaway our solid relationship for a minor misunder-standing. I think he was inconsiderate of our relation-ship and our family. Am I just trying to escape, as hesays I am? –LC

Dear LC,

From what you have shared, it sounds like you

have some self-worth and you are not trying to hurt

anyone or allow yourself to be hurt. I don’t know

enough about you to know if you have commitment

issues and just want to escape as he says; you will

have to think about your past relationships and see if

there is a history of you just running when the going

gets tough to determine if you have a problem with

long-term relationships.

On the other matter, a sexually explicit conversa-

12Limin’ Times Entertainment Guide

Looking ForwardOfficially now one full day of the New Year has

passed. As this bright new issue of the Limin’ Times

hits the streets, we have launched into 2015. New

Year’s resolutions have been made with renewed

hope and vigor and now it is just a clean slate for a

year ahead.

New beginnings are exciting, often laden with

great expectations. A new year offers a choice to

move forward, to look ahead and not back. However,

consider when moving forward that it is very difficult

to do if you are looking back, or looking down, or

looking in any direction other than what lies ahead

of you. Side blinders are put on racehorses for a rea-

son.

Misfortune can befall those who do not look for-

ward. An example of this is a video that I recall went

viral on the Internet – much to the dismay of an

unfortunate young woman. She was filmed by secu-

rity cameras in a mall walking forward, but looking

down at her cell phone and busily “Tweeting” or tex-

ting – involved in what she was doing on the tiny

screen held in her hand. Because of that temporary

distraction, she did not see the low fountain that

was directly in front of her and yes, for all the world

to see in instant “replay” she fell head first into the

fountain, cell phone leading the way. She quickly got

up and looked around, now wet and a bit humiliat-

ed, but ah, the cameras captured the moment for

posterity. Soon images of her fall in the fountain

were spread across the Internet in play and reverse,

viewed in that slapstick type of humor where some-

one’s foible is a subject of laughter.

There is a message here in this age of “digital

distractions,” the most dangerous form being driv-

ing and texting simultaneously, where others lives

are at stake. But having our heads constantly buried

in cell phones or computers robs us of those pre-

cious “present” moments that are right in front of

our eyes. How often we miss those spontaneous

one-on-one interactions with those whose paths we

cross because we’re absorbed in communicating to

someone who is somewhere else. The ease of digital

communication has in fact hindered our communica-

tion to those around us.

We look back, we look down, but often we forget

to look forward. I’ve heard it said that, “Our eyes are

placed in front because it is more important to look

forward than to look back.” As we embark on 2015,

may it be a year of looking forward not backward,

focused and not distracted, filled with wonderful

expectation and hope.

The Importance of RecognitionFor the sixth successive year, the BVI Athletics

Association has recognized its athletes’ work by host-ing a gala dinner in their honor. Not only are theAthletes of the Year awards presented by Sol in sixdivisions, but Most Outstanding Athletes awards intrack events, as well as field events from Under 9 maleand female. Open divisions and road racing athletesare also recognized.

Coaches and volunteers are also recognized.Lifetime Achievement Awards are given to those whohave made contributions to the early development ofthe sport.

Since the first event at theend of the 2009 season, theBVIAA has seen an upwardstream of steady performancesfrom its athletes at all levels.How important is recognizingathletic achievement?

“It’s very uplifting to havethese kind of events because wedon’t want our work to go unno-ticed and I feel it gives the athletes something to lookforward to at the end of the year,” said ChantelMalone—ranked #55 in the world in the Long Jump—who retained the title as the Sr. Female Athlete of TheYear, a title she also won in 2011. Malone won the Jr.award in 2009 and 2010. “By having this event, it’s aboost for them because they want to be Athlete of theYear, they want to be the top in their class and so theywork hard towards achieving the plaque.”

Eldred Henry, the first athlete in the OECS regionto throw the Discus over the 200ft mark with his tossor 61.90m and is ranked at #75 in the world, repeatedas Sr. Male AOY.

Sprinter Nelda Huggins repeated as Jr. Female

AOY. She was the Youth Female Athlete of the Year in2009 and 2011.

Kyron McMaster was the Jr. male recipient. DjimonGumbs and Arianna Hayde were the Youth male andfemale Athletes of the Year. The male Road RacingAthletes of the Year were Ravi Sukhu and CurwinAndrews and Rosmond Johnson and NiMade Oniashiwere the female winners.

North American, Central American and CaribbeanAthletics Confederation (NACAC) President VictorLopez praised the BVI Athletics Association for hold-

ing a gala in honor of its out-standing athletes.

“Nowadays, it’s very impor-tant for our young kids to be rec-ognized and be honoredbecause they have too many dis-tractions such as entertainmentand other activities that theycould devote themselves to,”Lopez noted. “An event like thisis a reward for the young ath-

letes and the senior athletes for the work they havebeen doing throughout the whole year.”

Lopez said the gala and other events where ath-letes are recognized for outstanding achievements,(like the government’s recognition of CAC Games LongJump champ Chantel Malone) is an important event.

“The kids like to be recognized and honored and itgives them a chance to be together—from age groupthrough seniors—and it inspires the young ones tobecome like the seniors,” Lopez added. “Parents alsoappreciate it very much because of the sacrifice theytoo make in supporting their kids.”

Full award recipients are on the BVI AthleticsAssociation Facebook page.
