Myett’s Welcomes Some Vintage SwingThis Week’s Feature Story

up band “The Jons” consists of several rhythm section

players that are skilled on a variety of instruments

including: violin, trumpet, mandolin, piano, clarinet,

upright bass and electric guitar – just to name a few.

Christobel mixes her original songs with arrange-

ments that reflect jazz standards, country, and what

she calls “Tennessee swing.”

Christobel has released five albums since 2005,

with her album Love and Circumstances in 2006

accompanied by “The Jons.” Her sixth album, TheSame Mistake is soon to be released and promisesnew songs with bassa nova and samba beats mixed

with the band’s signature country/swing feel.

Christobel has performed throughout the US as well

as the Mediterranean Festival of the Arts in Crete and

opened for many national acts

including The Brazilian Girls.

The musical performance

starts at 7pm, but come early

for Happy Hour specials

between 5pm to 7pm and to

reserve a good seat and enjoy

dinner. For further informationcall Myett’s at 495-9649.

It is not every day Tortola gets the taste of a south-

ern swing band, so come on out on Friday and

Saturday evenings March 1st and 2nd to put your

“southern groove”on. As part of the ongoing Red

Stripe True Music Series, Myett’s presents Christobel

and the Jons, a group that blends Appalachian moun-

tain music with vintage swing.

Lead singer, songwriter Christa deCicco is known

for her sultry voice and has been compared to the

likes of vintage torch singer Billie Holiday and more

contemporary soft crooner, Norah Jones. However,

she has developed her own sound that is a musical

bouillabaisse of folk, swing, country and blues. Her

stage performance is characterized as charismatic, as

she delivers heartfelt and nostalgic songs with a

speakeasy feel.

Christa’s music career was born

out of her southern roots in

Tennessee, where she began play-

ing music and performing at a very

young age. After completing college

with a degree in Landscape Design,

she began a more serious pursuit of

her musical aspirations. Her back

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.

Vikings have gotten a bad rap. So says Michael

Hirst, creator and writer of History’s epic nine-part

series Vikings, premiering Sunday, March 3. The showexplores the complex society of the Norseman as it

was near the end of the eighth century. Yes, the

Vikings were often large, hulking figures who special-

ized in violent conquests of neighboring lands while

taking pillaging and plundering to new heights. But

they were merely surviving in a violent world, and

their story hasn’t fully been told, Hirst says, because

the Vikings themselves never told it.

“We’ve always represented the Vikings as “the

other,” because their history was written by Christian

monks, who wrote propaganda about the Vikings —

how violent they were, how terrifying, how awful their

gods were,” says Hirst, who has shown his yen for his-

tory with Elizabeth and The Tudors. “We’ve taken onthat propaganda, because it’s never really been chal-

lenged. What interested me was to go into the Viking

world-picture, into their gods, into their religion and

their rituals. As the season goes on, you understand

where the gods came from, you understand the

attraction of the pagan worldview and the pagan

gods. It’s interesting for, let’s say, a North American,

largely Christian audience for the first time to be pre-

sented the pagan worldview that they overthrew, that

they replaced, and what it meant. Intellectually and

emotionally, it’s an interesting ride.”

It’s a ride the audience takes largely through the

exploits of Ragnar Lothbrok, a historical figure who

nonetheless has taken on mythical status as cen-

turies have passed. Sure, Ragnar (Travis Fimmel)

could sack a village or monastery with the best of

them, but he also had an unquenchable thirst for

knowledge. Believing he was descended from the

Viking god Odin, Ragnar defied the conservative, self-

serving policies of his local ruler, Earl Haraldson

(Gabriel Byrne), by sailing west to new lands using

new navigation techniques.

The earl, though, does not take such insubordina-

tion lightly and along with his ambitious wife, Siggy

(Jessalyn Gilsig), schemes to make an example of

Ragnar for anyone who would challenge his authority.

Keeping Secrets

Send your questions confidentially [email protected] or via twitter at @korennorton

Dear Koren,I find people in our society are too secretive and

that is why they do not get help for anything. If oneperson is suffering and they do not share it, how canwe help them? If we do away with all the secrets thatwe are keeping, then we wouldn’t have so many chil-dren being abused for years and women getting beatup and afraid to talk about it. –Just Saying

Dear JS,

You are right that we should do our best to help

others as much as they need our help and as much as

we are capable. However, many times, if we push peo-

ple too hard to disclose things they are not comfort-

able with disclosing, they might distance themselves

from us.

Children should be encouraged to be open and

honest with their parents about their feelings and

experiences and parents should take their complaints

seriously. They also need to be taught who they can

trust, especially as many reports show that children

are often abused by persons known to them. Women

also need support if they are victims of abuse. Again,

the telling of their story, must be to someone they

trust and who will be able to offer support, encour-

agement and give suggestions for resolving their

problems.

Unfortunately, people are very cautious about

what to disclose and who to and as a result, they

guard their privacy like they do their personal diary.

We even get turned off by persons who tell their

whole story two minutes after meeting us, because

we feel uncomfortable and uncertain of what to do

with the information. Clearly, there is a time and a

place for sharing information with the right person.

right person I would encourage you to be under-

standing if someone is withholding information. He or

she might have been betrayed in the past or they

might need to build trust. If people know you to be

confidential, they will be much more likely to share

their secrets with you.

If you want to know the person’s business to sat-

isfy your curiosity, then leave it alone. If you genuine-

ly want to help and be supportive, then you don’t

need to know details. Ensure that you know exactly

where to refer someone for their problems and do not

act in the role of advisor if you are not qualified to do

so. It may do more harm than good.

Catching the Bird(ing) Flu

Despite having a love for the natural world, I used

to think of “Birders” as nerdy and obsessed. I can

clearly remember rolling my teenage eyes as “Uncle

Fred,” a self-proclaimed birder emitted an orgasmic-

sounding scream after sighting a hawk on a family

vacation.

And then I became nerdy and obsessed. And it

happened in the BVI. With over 200 resident and

migratory bird species occurring in the Territory, it is

no surprise that I became enamored of the BVI’s many

wetland, land and seabirds.

One minute you’re oblivious and the next you’re

trying not to swerve into on-coming traffic as you

catch a peripheral glimpse of a flamingo in the salt

pond on the way to the Beef Island airport. Once I was

so enchanted by the siren song of a Yellow-crowned

Night Heron (ok, so it sounds more like a hoarse dog

barking), that I was lured into a densely vegetated

mangrove. I emerged 15 minutes later, covered in mud

with a brand new flip-flop missing after it sunk into the

oozey mud. I’ve since made a hard – and-fast rule to

wear shoes in that area.

I’m gong to let you in on a secret: You probably like

“birding”, you just don’t know it yet. If you must catch

a virus this winter, I recommend the bird(ing) flu. And

suffering through it in the BVI is not terrible.

I know I’m not alone. I remember hearing a pri-

mary school student screaming. I thought she was

hurt, but she was just excited about sighting a Black-

necked Stilt (which she properly identified as a result

of our bird-watching trips together). An un-named col-

league of mine and novice birder, took a fall on the

rough terrain near the BVI’s Magnificent Frigatebird

colony, which required an emergency room visit to

“ahem” have the spines of jumping cactus removed

from her backside. While she was the “butt” of office

jokes for a while, she doesn’t recount the day’s pain.

She remembers how impressive the birding was.

Birding fever is sweeping the globe, and is report-

ed to be one of the fastest growing outdoor activities

in the U.S. with some 50 million “bird-watchers.” Bird-

watching is a fun, healthy activity and as we face shift-

ing weather patterns due to climate change, your

sightings may even yield unique information that sup-

ports the work of conservation efforts. The Jost Van

Dykes Preservation Society, the BVI National Parks

Trust and BVI Conservation Department are among

the partners in the territory working on bird conserva-

tion initiatives. All you need is a guidebook and a pair

of binoculars to get out and start enjoying the BVI’s

abundant bird-life. Consider joining the BVI birding

group on Facebook (www.facebook.com/BVIBirding)or contacting our partners to learn more about getting

involved in bird-watching activities.

dent and watercolor artist, Jill Tattersall will be held at

LincolnIf you thought you knew the historical 16th

President of the United States through books you

have read, it is time to meet the real Lincoln. Director

Steven Spielberg’s dramatic film is essentially a portal

into the life of a man whose singular vision changed

America forever. Instead of presenting a detailed

biography, the screenplay, adapted from Doris Kearns

Goodwin’s book Team of Rivals, focuses on anintense period of time during the Civil War in 1865,

when Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis) lobbies tirelessly for

an amendment to the US Constitution for the aboli-

tion of slavery .

The battle for the passage of the now famous 13th

Amendment was a fierce political chess game

between warring interests and showed Lincoln’s

amazing courage, fortitude and political savvy in the

midst of what appeared to be insurmountable odds.

The Amendment lingered precariously in the House of

Representatives, where it needed 20 Democratic

votes from mostly southern states and not one defec-

tion from the Republican side, which was the

President’s party. Under the table political “horse

trading” was employed to sway the votes: congress-

man were cajoled, bargained with, offered positions

in government and at the end of the day Lincoln’s

steady persistence at the helm saw it through.

Daniel Day-Lewis received a well-deserved Oscar

for Best Actor based on his portrayal of Lincoln, where

his acting seamlessly became the essence of this icon

of a man and the folksy, intelligent, morally virtuous

and witty Lincoln came through brilliantly. Sally Field,

also put in an impressive performance as Lincoln’s

wife, Mary Todd, an emotionally tortured soul,

wrapped up in her children’s wellbeing. Tommy Lee

Jones, in his weathered and seasoned way was a per-

fect cast for Thaddeus Stevens, an ardent abolitionist,

who made the equality of races his lifetime goal.

The window into Lincoln’s life ends with his assas-

sination, although not seen directly, the tragic impact

it had on the nation is vividly felt. The film is a fascinat-

ing historical piece, highlighting the challenges of the

presidency in a ruptured time in American history.

Somehow seeing it acted out versus just reading

about this passage in history brings home the raw

“blood and guts” of the Civil War and how one man’s

vision kept a nation together and brought the healing

balm that eventually fused the warring factions

together.

By Dean “The Sportsman” Greenaway

Sunday, February 24, 2013 went down as a his-

toric day in the annuals of BVI sports. Not that a whole

lot of people really took note either.

The BVI Football Association just a year shy of its

40th birthday, has ventured into new territory with the

start of a Women’s 11-A-Side Football League—the

first in its history. This builds on the 5-A-Side League

that the association has been conducting in an

attempt to get the sport developed among women.

All those involved – as administrators, coaches,

participants and sponsors must be congratulated for

this step. Of particular interest, with over 200 girls

involved in the association’s after – school program,

they can aspire to play in a National Women’s League,

just as their male counterparts.

To start, the women’s league has attracted four

teams including one from Virgin Gorda. During

Sunday’s opening, all participants were encouraged

to bring out friends to play and increase the number

of teams participating in future seasons.

Women now have a chance to play football and

there’s no reason not to capitalize on the opportunity.

There are a variety of FIFA competitions—Youth,

Junior and Senior events that the BVI is invited to par-

ticipate in annually. The more women

who come out to play, the larger the

pool to draw from for regional and inter-

national competitions.

Furthermore, there are numerous

other opportunities from being

involved, particularly the health bene-

fits. Those who excel can even obtain

scholastic opportunities. “We want to

see fair play and see the young ladies respecting each

other,” said Women’s Committee member Shereen

Flax Charles during the opening ceremony. “It’s a

team effort. The Football Association cannot get

Ladies football to where it needs to be in the Virgin

Islands alone,” she noted. “We might only have four

teams for now, but by next season we are looking at

six or seven.”

From observiing the two teams playing on open-

ing day, there was an obvious improvement in skill

levels over the recent 5-A-Side League.

It didn’t take long after the opening ceremonies

for the action to start as the Ball Stars took on their

Virgin Gorda counterparts No Fear, before Tevern

David’s first and second half goals paced them to a 5-

1 victory. Just three minutes into the game Jehnelle

Joseph gave Ball Starz a 1-0 lead, just as No Fear’s

defense was getting settled. Dariana Glasco

increased the lead to 2-0, when she beat No Fear’s

goalie again, before David made it 3-0 by halftime on

the first of her two goals.

No Fear’s Makeda Fahie cut the deficit to 3-1 in the

34th minute, from just outside the 18 yards box.

A scoreless second half ended with David added

her second goal in the 63rd,

pushing Ball Starz’s lead to 4-1.

Laresha Martin’s score four min-

utes into extra time completed

the 5-1 triumph.

Go to the A. O. Shirley

Recreation Grounds and see the

women play. Matches are also

being planned for Virgin Gorda. No Fear and Ball Starz players in action
