LETTER FROM THE MAYOR OF HAMILTONTHE WOR. MR. CHARLES GOSLING

WELCOME TO THE CITY OF HAMILTON

It is my honor, as the Mayor, to welcome you to the City of Hamilton, one of the smallest cities in the world, rich in history, culture and heritage. The original Town of Hamilton was incorporated by an Act of the Bermuda Legislature in 1793. Located in a sheltered harbour in the central and largest parish, Pembroke, it was named in honour of the

then Governor, Captain Henry Hamilton. The town quickly became the capital of Bermuda when the seat of Government was transferred from St. George’s in 1815.

Following the completion of the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity, situated some 400 yards east of the present City Hall, the status of City was conferred upon the Town of Hamilton in 1897 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Victoria.

The City of Hamilton has a resident population of about 1,100 and an estimated day-time population of approximately 13,340 (40% of Bermuda’s working population). This number increases significantly when tourists are added to the equation.

In addition to the excellent cuisine that can be found in the city’s many varied restau-rants, the shopping is easy and the historic sites are a must see. I can attest to the fact that Hamilton is a delightful capital to get around on foot. Measuring about a quarter square mile, the entire area can be walked in about 30 minutes however, exploring, discovering and enjoying the sites, both historic and new, can take hours, maybe even days.

Anyone wishing to explore the City in depth can participate in the Walkway of His-tory tour that was created as part of Bermuda’s 400th Anniversary, in 2009. Plaques have been installed in the sidewalk at various points along the route to identify im-portant sites of architectural, social, cultural or historical significance in the City. This self-guided tour starts and ends on Church Street in front of the City Hall, and enables the pedestrian to learn about the history of the city and may be taken as a whole or in parts.

SOME OF THE SIGHTS TO DISCOVER INCLUDE:CITY HALLOpened in 1960, the building is of traditional Bermuda architecture with a Scandi-navian influence in respect of the tower. In 2010 we celebrated the building’s 50th anniversary by reproducing a number of activities that took place at the opening, including inviting some of the workers who helped with the construction. City Hall’s amenities include a theatre, two galleries housing the Bermuda National Gallery and the Bermuda Society of Arts, the Mayor’s Parlour, and the administrative offices of the City of Hamilton. VICTORIA PARK BANDSTANDPainstakingly dismantled, refurbished and reassembled in 2009, the Victorian Band-stand was originally shipped to Bermuda in 1888 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in June 1887. WESLEY SQUAREA purpose built recreational area officially opened in July 2009 to commemorate the men and women who in 1959, with bravery, tenacity and a vision for a better Ber-muda, staged a peaceful theatre boycott and protested for equality, freedom and the end to segregation. CITY PARKSThere are four large public parks within the City of Hamilton that are open to the general public between 8am to sunset every day. They are: Fort Hamilton, Barr’s Bay Park, Par-la-Ville Park and my favorite, Victoria Park.

Again, welcome to Hamilton, Bermuda at it best. For more information visit www.cityofhamilton.bm.

BERMUDA ha haBERMUDA hahaBy Roger Crombie

It was always a source of great disappointment that I didn’t have a cool nickname, like ‘Stretch’ or ‘Iceman’. Not being very tall or chilled made those two unlikely, but would it have been too much to ask to be dubbed “Six-gun’ or ‘Casanova’?

Nicknames are a Bermudian thing, and you’d think that after all the time I spent on the rock, I’d have earned a memorable moniker. A number of nicknames have been applied down the years, some of which were OK. My favourite, although it never stuck, was being called the HydRogen Cromb, perhaps a little too unwieldy. ‘Slide’ (as in Slide Crombone) never quite made the grade either.

Years earlier, I was called Grimbles, but not being a character in a Dickens novel, I made my disapproval plain. Journalist friends call me Crombo and Crombers, but neither of those does much for me, either. They’re more terms of endearment than killer nicknames.

I never liked Rodge, although one friend calls me Rogg, and that’s not bad. The Balrog is a fearsome creature in Lord of the Rings, and a nickname that makes people fearful is just what I need. In North America they call me Raj. Not because I’m a colonialist, but because that’s how Americans saying Rodge sound to the more sophisticated ear. I have friends in Canada who only ever call me that. They were astonished to find out that Raj wasn’t my actual name.

After I’d been a journalist for a while, a nickname was proposed that I rather liked: it was ‘Sniffer’. It derived from Cockney rhyming slang for reporter: sniffer and snorter. There was a plan to paint the words ‘The Sniffermobile’ on my car. I will never forget a friend, a woman of a certain age, who spotted me on Par-la-Ville Road one day. She could put on a voice like Queen Victoria’s, and called out, in the most imperious tone: “Oh, Sniffer!”

That all ended when I told a policeman pal to call me Sniffer. He explained the downside, which hadn’t crossed my mind, and that was the end of that.

Two nicknames have adhered down the years. A friend in London insisted on calling me Cranthorpe as a joke. I even have an e-mail address under that rubric. It has become ‘Cranners’ and I sometimes go by that.

The other is a name my mother gave me, which only she and I knew. No, I’m not going to tell you. I think about it sometimes. If I’m ever at a séance, and that name were called out, I’d probably have a heart attack and drop dead.

Bermuda did, in fact, bequeath me a nickname of which I’m proud. Maybe half the people I know on the Island call me, simply, ‘Crombie’. That’s a nickname I can live with.

And although they say one cannot give oneself a nickname, I have adopted as my own the name of a Mexican superhero. I am the man they call Don Disturb.

Nicknames are a Bermudian thing

THE QUEEN HONOURS ST PETER’S CHURCHMarch 18, St. Peter's Church, Town of St. George

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, celebrating her Diamond Jubilee, has redesignated St Peter’s Church in St George’s as ‘Their Majesties Chappell’, in honour of the church’s 400th anniversary this year.

The first of the Anniversary year’s events will take place on Sunday, March 18th, with a ‘Service to Celebrate the Intituling of St Peter's as ‘Their Majesties Chappell, by Sign Manual of Her Majesty The Queen.’

The Intituling Document will be presented by Mr David Baldwin, RVM, The Serjeant of The Vestry of the Chapel Royal, to the Governor of Bermuda, His Excellency Sir Richard Gozney, KCMG, CVO, who will then read it to the assembled church and civil dignitaries, parishioners and invited guests.

The Document signifies Her Majesty’s pleasure to designate to St Peter’s this early historic title, first used during the reign of King William and Queen Mary.

The Rev’d David Raths, the Incumbent of St Peter’s, expressed his delight with The Queen’s gift to the church: “This honour of a royal title acknowledges the faithful witness and service of the people of this parish for four hundred years. They can take pride in being honoured by the Queen and that their church has been recognized and acknowledged as a religious, historic and cultural icon of Bermuda.”Info: For more information please visit www.thisweek.bm/church

Soft and picturesque, Steve Conway's art is inspired by the beautiful island that we live on. A Chartered Surveyor by day and talented painter in his spare time, Steve’s work can be found in the homes of his family and friends. Once you see a few paintings you will surely recognize his work if you stumble upon it. Steve gives his paintings as gifts, has donated some to auctions and recently starting working on commissioned art.

Steve studied A-Level art in school and his teacher encouraged him to go on to an art college, however he was more attracted to the exciting world of surveying with theodolites. He liked the idea of driving land rovers and wearing wellies on construction sites. “Surveyors are two a penny,” his teacher once said to him. If Steve hadn’t ignored her advice he would not have been able to come and work in Bermuda, so he says “that’s fate” and now he paints when time permits.

For the past three years Steve Conway has entered his work in

local businessman John Charman’s annual “Charman Show” at the Masterwork’s Museum of Bermuda Art. Although he hasn’t won anything yet, each piece sold and he has been commissioned to make replicas of the latest piece. In the painting shown during the 2011 Charman show, Steve combines vibrant colours but maintains the soft Bermuda landscape through a welcoming door. WHEN DID YOUR INTEREST IN ART BEGIN?

When I was a kid growing up in England my Dad always encouraged my brother and I to paint. He was pretty good himself. We grew up living right by the Lady Lever Art Gallery (the collection of Victorian art of the soap magnate - Lord Leverhulme - in the model village of Port Sunlight for the soap factory on Merseyside). I didn’t really understand it at the time but I grew up learning about the paintings of Sir John Everett Millais, Holman Hunt, Rossetti, Constable, Turner and many melodramatic Victorian painters. Later on I “dragged” my own kids there and my wife and I still pop in when we are visiting my Mum who still lives opposite the gallery. A little later on, when my wife was student before we were married, I joined her on a project. It was a study of the canal barge painting, we went around the canals in Lancashire and photographed the intricate painting on the barges and I drew, painted the canal scenes. WHAT INSPIRES YOU TODAY?

The colours of the ocean, the sand, the vibrant vegetation, palmettos, the reflections and stark shadows, the mix of buildings and boats and people make it easy to be

inspired to paint. I have always been fascinated by Flatts Village with the view across from the Aquarium; I have painted 10 or more variations over the years. It’s Bermuda’s light that is different from other parts of the world. Maybe it’s the fact that we are sitting in the middle of the ocean; we don’t get those heavy banks of grey cloud sitting on top of us. Naturally the old town of St. George’s makes any artist want to paint or draw. Being a surveyor, I analyze and look closely at buildings and their details, old rustic doors, windows, chimneys of Bermuda’s vernacular 18th century. My work with the Bermuda National Trust also inspired me to paint, as we were responsible for protecting Bermuda’s “places of historic interest and natural beauty”. I have painted 10 or 12 variations of Waterville in Paget and several of Verdmont in Smith’s. I have also done some line drawings to illustrate the Trust’s architectural heritage series of books. The active artists in Bermuda also inspire me, when I see their exhibition. They display various ways to see the island. I try to keep an open mind and enjoy all art. My wife and I always try to go to the art galleries when we are visiting a city. The Boston Museum of Fine Art is always a favorite.

WHAT IS YOUR PREFERRED PAINTING MEDIUM?I use acrylic on canvas. It is easier to be brave and paint quickly and if I don’t like it I just paint over the board with Bermuda wall paint and start again. I have used oil, watercolor and pen and pencil at times.ANY GOALS SET FOR THE FUTURE?Ideally I would like to set aside more time for painting and build a portfolio bold enough for an exhibition. My

The Horse Ferry at the Watford gap about 1895, with a carriage aboard.

HERITAGE MATTERSby Dr. Edward Harris, MBE

Bridging the Watford Gap

In 1556, some French mariners from La Rochelle were shipwrecked at Bermuda and having set foot back on terra firma, with no loss among their number, they began to walk along the coast hoping to find some trace of their companions. But they had not got very far when they came across an obstruction in their path in the shape of a river which was at least 300 paces across. That “river” is believed to be the channel, or gap, between Watford and Somerset Islands at the western end of Bermuda.

Two hundred and fifty years later, the Royal Navy established the main dockyard of the North America and West Indies Station, ultimately commanding the three islands of Watford, Boaz and Ireland, north of Somerset. Bermudians then occupying those lands, described by one British officer as being ‘less than human’, lived in splendid isolation without a bridge to Somerset. The building of the dockyard displaced them, but even then, it was not until 1902 that a bridge to the mainland finally spanned the Watford Gap.

The Bridge under construction in 1902, looking towards Somerset Island.

The triumphal arch in Somerset was made for the opening of Watford

Island Bridge.

2929

Prior to 1900, a horse ferry, being a flat-bottomed boat that could accommodate a horse and carriage, traversed the channel. The remains of the wharf and slip for that ferry between Watford and Somerset Islands can still be seen. A similar horse ferry connected St. George’s Island with the mainland across the channel at Ferry Reach.

In 1887, a great storm cut communication between Somerset and the Royal Naval islands and that ‘object lesson’ pressed forward the need for a bridge. By the turn of the century, the dockyard was to be expanded and a bridge was included in new works. Many Bermudian families of today first came to Bermuda to be employed on the construction of the South Yard of the Dockyard and that bridge.

‘Watford Island Bridge’ was started in August 1901 and eventually spanned the 450 feet across the channel. Great cast iron cylinders were sunk into bedrock and filled with concrete. Some 3,000 tons of local stone, 200 tons of cement and 55 tons of granite were required for the works, along with 433 tons of steel for the bridgework and central swinging span.

The opening day duly arrived on 24 September 1903, as did the heavens: ‘the bright smart-looking khaki of the soldiers quickly assumed the appearance of brown paper; many pretty dresses became limp and bedraggled, and clung affectionately to their fair owners’. That was but a cloudburst and the weather cleared for the dedication of what was considered ‘the crowning structure in the work of providing continuous overland communication throughout Bermuda’, following the completion of the Causeway in St. George’s Parish in 1871.

The people of Somerset had constructed a triumphal arch at their end of bridge and a great crowd gathered. The Governor, Sir Henry Geary, KCB, pressed an electric bell and the swing span opened to allow a procession of boats, including as passengers all the schoolchildren of Somerset, to enter Mangrove Bay.

Watford Island Bridge lasted for 54 years; its replacement from 1957, a mere 23 years. The third ‘Watford Bridge’ was built in 1982, and claimed to be ‘one of the most successful tributes to the use of galvanizing in civil engineering. It was said to have a ‘design life’ of 120 years: seeing is believing, so perhaps our great-grandchildren will be able to do both.

DO YOU KNOW…by Horst Augustinovic

… About the making of a Stamp Issue – 50 years ago?

2012 is not only the 200th Anniversary of Bermuda’s Postal Service, but also the 50th Anniversary of the ‘Buildings Definitives’, a set of Bermuda postage stamps which was acclaimed internationally as ‘a set which is unlike any that has gone before’.

During 1961 Bermuda’s Colonial Treasurer, the Hon. W.W. Davidson, announced that a complete new issue of Bermuda stamps was to be introduced in 1962 to replace Bermuda’s first Elizabethan definitive stamps issued in 1953. That set, the result of a public design competition, was criticized as being a ‘hotchpotch of everybody’s notions on how a stamp should look’.

Consequently local artist William H. Harrington decided to submit 21 uniform designs showing Bermuda buildings and proposed that they be printed in the photogravure printing process, a printing method most suitable to reproduce the delicate colours that Bermuda is so well known for. The disadvantage of photogravure in not being able to reproduce type and lines with sharp clean edges was considered of less importance.

Mr. Harrington’s sketches, 12.5” x 19” inches in size, were basically pencil drawings with just a hint of colour. Once 17 designs were selected, the basic art and border were painted in colour on heavy card, 6” x 4.5” in size.

An overlay was then added for the type and crown, as well as the photograph of Queen Elizabeth II.

Shown here, as an example, are the various components of the £1 stamp:

A combination of the artwork with the various overlays. Unfortunately Mr. Harrington was not able to see his design this way as the technology was not available in 1962.

William Harrington’s sketch of the House of Assembly – the proposed £1 stamp. The sketch shows where Mr. Harrington made changes, for example, he originally placed ‘£1’ in front of ‘Bermuda’. The biggest change was to use the Queen’s Head for the final stamps, rather than the Royal Cypher as originally planned. The St. Edward’s Crown was also changed to better suit the design of the stamps.

When the Buildings Issue was released on October 26th, 1962, the stamps caused great excitement in the philatelic press worldwide. Comments like these were not unusual: ‘these stamps set a new and attractive style in colonial stamp design’; ‘all collectors of British Commonwealth stamps are getting a thrill out of this issue’; ‘the new set is a handsome replacement for the previous one and will add colour and interest to many a collector’s album’; ‘there’s a tip of the hat due Bermuda for the colourful new definitive issue’.

The basic artwork painted in colour. The ‘line overlay’ with type and crown, combined with the ‘halftone

overlay’ of the Queen’s Head, a portrait by Dorothy Wilding.

Golf’s Most Famous Amateur!

This most famous amateur golfer was born on March 17th, 1902. He may be most recognized for development of one of golf ’s most exciting major championships, the Masters, played at Augusta National in Augusta, Georgia. He won golf ’s original Grand Slam which included the US Open, the British Open, The US Amateur and the British Amateur in 1930. He retired at age 28 explaining that championship golf was like a cage, first you are expected to get into it and then you are expected to stay in it. Robert Tyre Jones Jr. or Bobby as he was called by his peers and admirers earned his living as a lawyer. Amateurs didn’t share in golf purses and don’t today as their status would change to that of Professional. However, Jones did earn a few dollars from his hobby when in 1930 British bookmakers set odds at 50-1 on Jones winning all four championships. Jones placed a bet on himself and claimed a handsome $60,000 for his efforts. He did give up his amateur status when he was paid for his participation in films in which he provided instruction for some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. The films are available today on DVD and provide an interesting look at Jones’ proficiency as a golfer.

His 13 major championship victories included the US Amateur in 1924, 1925, 1927, 1928 and 1930, the British Amateur in 1930, the US Open in 1923, 1926, 1929 and 1930 and the British Open Championship in 1926, 1927 and 1930. He also finished 2nd four times in the US Open. Jones played on the US Walker Cup team winning 9 of 10 matches with the US winning the cup in all 5 events.

Jones was recognized as one of the most famous athletes in the world and lacking the privacy he hoped for, Jones decided to create a private course where he and his friends could play golf in peace and quiet. In 1931 he purchased the land which would become Augusta National for $70,000.

Augusta National was designed by Alister MacKenzie, who originally was educated as a surgeon, but specialized in camouflage during the war. Mackenzie often mentioned that his mastery as a camoufleur provided an excellent source for his golf course design. The course opened in 1933 and hosted the first Masters Championship in 1934. The Masters has had a dramatic influence in golf including the first use of gallery ropes, scoreboard placement around the course, the use of red and green numbers to identify under or over par scores, international players and of course television coverage which we all enjoy. Tradition is an important part of the Masters. The winner receives a green jacket which formally became part of the Masters in 1949, although informally champions acquired a jacket prior to 1949. The par three tournament has been played on the adjacent 9-hole course since 1960. To date no one who has one the Par 3 tournament has won the Masters in the same year. Some believe it’s a curse and actually have their final hole finished by their caddie in hopes of maintaining the chance to win golf ’s first major of the year. Other traditions include the Champions Dinner, first hosted by Ben Hogan in 1952, and of course participants receive crystal for any eagle, double eagle or hole-in-one made during the event. The winner of the masters also receives an invitation to play in the PGA Grand Slam of Golf played at the Port Royal Golf Course in Bermuda in the month of October. The Masters will be played April 2nd – 8th, 2012.

Happy Birthday Bobby! Thanks for your contributions to the game of golf and the Masters.

THE ROYAL NAVAL DOCKYARDIreland Island, Sandys Work began on this massive complex in 1809, not long after the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars and just before the War of 1812. Envisioned as a strategic British military outpost that would make Bermuda the “Gibraltar of the West,” the Royal Naval Dockyard was built by slave and convict labour. The Dockyard locked its gates in 1951. Since then, the seventy-five acre site has been painstakingly renovated to accommodate museums, a movie theatre, restaurants, The Arts Centre and the Bermuda Craft Market.

NATIONAL MUSEUM OF BERMUDAIreland Island, Sandys Located in the Keep of the Royal Naval Dockyard, this museum has become one of the island’s most frequently visited destinations since being opened by HM Queen Elizabeth II in 1975. Its popularity has increased even more with the recent restoration and opening of Commissioner’s House. Elsewhere on the complex, exhibits chronicle both Bermuda’s association with the Royal Navy and its own interesting maritime history. In addition to a collection of Bermuda-made boats, there are relics from the Sea Venture, maps, the famous Tucker Treasure—collected from the sixteenth-century Spanish galleon the San Pedro—and many more artifacts. Open Monday to Sunday 9:30am-4:00pm (last admission 4pm). Adults $10, seniors $8, children under 13 FREE. For further information telephone 441 234-1333.

COMMISSIONER’S HOUSE National Museum of Bermuda, Royal Naval Dockyard Located within the confines of the National Museum of Bermuda, Commissioner’s House dominates this complex and entire surroundings from its elevated position. Largely constructed between 1823 and 1828, this commanding Georgian ‘house’ epitomizes British imperial style, power and engineering wherewithal during the nineteenth century. An experimental building in several regards, Commissioner’s House may have been the first domestic project anywhere to use cast iron to support its floors and roof. Rescued from near dereliction through a protracted, award-winning restoration, the building—one of the most important on the island—now houses

ST. GEORGE’S AND EASTERN PARISHES

St. George’s — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — is where it all began, when in July 1609 the Sea Venture — en route from England to the new colony of Jamestown Virginia — encountered a violent storm and was shipwrecked on Bermuda’s reefs less than a mile off what is now St. Catherine’s Point. Miraculously, all on board survived the disaster and rowed ashore to Gates Bay, located at the eastern end of St. George’s.

ST. PETER’S CHURCH Duke of York Street Situated in appropriate loftiness above the main street of St. George’s, St. Peter’s Church is one of the island’s most beloved landmarks and is the oldest Anglican church continuously occupied in the New World. The first church on the site was constructed in 1612 of native cedar and a thatched roof. This original edifice was replaced seven years later by a more permanent structure that lasted almost a hundred years, until the hurricane of 1712. Following this disaster, the church was again rebuilt. Open Mon. - Sat. 10am-4pm. Anglican service 11:15am Sundays.

THE OLD RECTORYBroad Alley, St. George’s, behind St. Peter’s Church Built in 1699, this charming cottage on one of the numerous picturesque back streets in St. George’s is one of Bermuda’s oldest houses. Acquired in 1700 by Captain George Dew, an unsuccessful privateer who became a St. George’s assemblyman, The Old Rectory acquired its current name when it became the residence of the Rev. Alexander Richardson in the last quarter of the eighteenth century. Outisde viewing only.

ST. GEORGE’S HISTORICAL SOCIETY MUSEUM Duke of Kent Street and Featherbed Alley Built around 1734 as a private residence, Mitchell House is a fine example of eighteenth-century Bermudian domestic architecture and has been home to the St. George’s Historical Society since 1920. Open Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Sat. Adults $5, Children under 12 $2

BERMUDIAN HERITAGE ASSOCIATIONSamaritan’s Lodge, Intersection of York and Water Streets St. George’s newest museum was formed in 1994 to preserve and document the history of black culture and achievement in Bermuda. Displays include a fascinating assortment of memorabilia relating to the many areas in which blacks have made a contribution since first arriving on the island in 1616: shipbuilding, piloting, construction, nursing, music, sports and politics, to name a few. Open Tues-Sat 10am-3pm. Admission $4. 297-4126.

TOWN HALL AND THE STATE HOUSETown of St. George Town Hall, the handsome building commanding King’s Square and bearing the town crest was begun in 1802, a few years after the Corporation of St. George’s was founded in 1797. The State House, located up a gentle elevation behind Town Hall, is one of the island’s oldest, most historically important buildings. Erected around 1620 by Governor Nathaniel Butler, the State House is open to the public 10am-4pm on Wednesdays only. (10 - 2 May 1 - Oct 31)

THE UNFINISHED CHURCH Duke of Kent Street, St. George’s The impressive Gothic vestige that looms over the town of St. George’s was

55

begun in 1870 as a replacement for St. Peter’s, which had fallen into a state of serious disrepair. Designed by William Hay, the Scottish-born architect who later drew the plans for Hamilton’s cathedral, the St. George’s church was abandoned in 1899 when near completion.

FORT ST. CATHERINE St. Catherine’s Point, St. George’s Fort St. Catherine stands on the site of one of the four towers that Governor Richard Moore erected along Bermuda’s coast around 1613. None of these original towers, the first English forts in the New World, survive. The present, completely restored structure, dates from the mid-nineteenth century and is home to fascinating exhibits including military guns and weapons. Open Mon-Fri 10:00am-4:00pm.

CARTER HOUSE Southside Road, St. David’s Carter House was probably built in the 1720s by John Hayward and his wife Martha, reputedly a descendant of Christopher Carter, one of the two Sea Venture survivors who stayed behind when the vessel’s other passengers continued on to Virginia in 1610. Acquired by the St. David’s Historical Society, this small house with its unusual ‘welcoming arm’ stairs has been converted into a museum that commemorates the pre-war agrarian traditions of St. David’s. Open Saturday 10:00am-4:00pm.

ST. DAVID’S LIGHTHOUSE Mount Hill, St. David’s Constructed of Bermuda stone, this 55-foot structure is one of two local lighthouses. Lit for the first time in 1879, its fixed white light enabled navigators to take cross bearings with the flashing beacon emitted by Gibbs Hill lighthouse way up the coast in Southampton. Open 9-4, Mon-Fri from Nov - Mar. Admission is free.

CRYSTAL CAVES & FANTASY CAVES Wilkinson Avenue, Bailey’s Bay Two young boys discovered this magical underground world comprising stalactites, stalagmites and a clear, fifty-five foot deep lake by accident in 1905.

WHERE TO EAT and drink

Manny landed a job at the luxurious Edsa Shangri-La in Manila. He was studying to become an electronic technician when his father asked a friend to give him a job at the hotel. Manny’s father was the personal chef of the late president of the Philippines, Ferdinand Emmanuel Edralin Marcos, Sr. His family is still all living in the Philippines, Manny is the only one who works abroad. He was interested in the culture here and his cousin who is currently the head chef at Lobster Pot offered him a job. “I pictured it to be like, Pirates of the Carribean.”

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT LIVING AND WORKING IN BERMUDA?I like learning about different foods in every country. In Bermuda I enjoy fish chowder, fish cakes, various sauces and pasta. I have settled into Bermuda and also enjoy fishing, the beaches and strolling in the parks. It is so peaceful and quiet.

WHERE DO YOU GO WHEN YOU GO OUT TO DINNER? I enjoy the Hog Penny and after I might go to Café Cairo.

WHERE DID YOU WORK BEFORE COMING TO BERMUDA?After the Shangri-La I went to the Middle East and was a private Chef for a businessman in Saudi Arabia. It was very strict, no alcohol, no hanging out, just working and sleeping. They would have big parties and sometimes I would have to travel to his mothers and cook there as well. They did fly me home every year and give me 2 months off which was nice. Next I worked at the Makati Shangri-La, Manila and then I moved onto Bermuda.

FLANAGANSrestaurant reviewBy Candice & Simona

As we arrived at Flanagan’s the first decision to make was “inside or out”. We decided to have the best of both worlds and sit in one of the large win-dows so that we could still enjoy the gorgeous harbour view.With St. Patrick’s Day on our minds we asked about any Irish Beers on tap.

Guinness Draught, Harp Lager and Kilkenny Ale.Not feeling like a beer? Try a Jameson Irish Whiskey or a Bushmills Irish Wiskey!Flanagan’s salads are known by locals to be packed with fresh ingredients

WHERE TO EAT

and drink

so we knew right away to start with one. We ordered the Flanagan’s Dinghy Salad. In this particular salad, we shared, fresh blueber-ries, tangerines, crunchy walnuts, grapes, crisp lettuce and delicious strips of barbequed style chicken breast. The salad was absolutely delicious, and a nice size entrée portion so you really don’t have to order anything with it unless you’re really hungry.

67

and drink Next we tried the Paddy’s Wedges. They were served nice and hot with the cheese still melting into and over them. Basically the Patty Wedges are strips of delicious hearty baked potato topped with sautéed onions; full strips of perfectly cooked bacon and drizzled with melted cheddar. We cleaned this plate dry.

Last we ordered the Steak & Guinness Pie, which we couldn’t resist with St. Patrick’s Day on our minds. We also needed something to go with our Irish Beers. We were pleas-antly surprised when this very large sandwich style steak pie arrived accompa-nied by a nice fresh Caesar salad. There were no guilty feelings about ordering this lunchtime favorite, that’s for sure. The steak was prepared like a stew served on a giant pastry bun. It was hearty and had a rustic home cooked look and taste. Comfort food at its best!!! The Caesar salad was fresh and lightly drizzled with dressing and Parmesan, so delicious to the very last bite. We loved that the dressing wasn’t overpowering. It was a healthy Caesar indeed.

Unfortunately we didn’t have room for dessert, however, we did scan the menu and agreed that if we had room we would have tried the Chocolate Soufflé!

Flanagan’s offers a full lunch, appetizers, soups, combo platters, subs, sandwiches and desserts. Thirsty? The bar is always open, with a variety of beers, cocktails, special coffees, anything you like. Have lunch on the patio overlooking the harbour or sit inside and still enjoy the gorgeous harbour view.

One of our favorite things about Flanagan’s is that the owners work right in the restaurant. Seating people, bartending, serving, you know you are in the best of hands.

As we finished lunch completely satisfied, we sat back and enjoyed the view for a few minutes. The harbour water sparkled as the Dockyard des-tined ferry sailed off into the late afternoon sun.

There is only one place to be this St. Patricks Day, Bermuda’s only Irish Pub & Restaurant! Flanagan’s team of owners can at any given moment be found running the restaurant, crunching numbers in the office or behind the bar pouring you a drink! Now you know, this means you are in the best of hands.

Anthony Daniels can be found at Outback or Flanagans. He has been with Flanagans for 13 years. Anthony started out at the Hamilton Princess as a bar back and soon became one of the youngest bartender in Bermuda at the ripe age of 19. He spent 10 years with Hamilton Princess and then moved onto Café Lido at Elbow Beach. During that 1989 summer Hurricane Hugo swept the island and took the beach bar out, and that was the end of Anthonys job. Fortunately he had met Dion Mills and Barry DeCouto while working there, they had a partnership at Belmont Golf Club and offered Anthony a job. He ran the bar there for 2 years, then the GM came by, admired his service and offered him a job running the pool bar. 1.5 years later Belmont closed and Dion offered him a job at Flanagans. 5 years later Anthony returned to the Hamilton Princess but stayed on at Flanagans part time. A few years passed and there was talk about the opportunity to buy the popular Front Street restaurant and bar and the rest is history!

Robby spent 6 years in Australia and England, traveling, running restaurants, managing bars and catching a glimpse of the first sunrise of the new millennium in the year 2000.

As of late, he has been buckling down at Flanagans. The popular Front Street restaurant and bar has undergone some major changes in the last few years, all for the good. Robby named the Outback Sports Bar after his experiences in Australia. “We all pitched in and gutted the place, it was a labour of love.”

Robby spends a lot of time showing visitors and friends all of the secret spots across the island. He also prides himself on keeping his repeat customers and new visitors right there with him at Flanagan’s.

BEER & WINE SUGGESTIONS BY

April Gosling NaudeGosling’s

GOING GREENNo blarney! We’re all a little bit Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. Across the

globe we celebrate the patron saint of Ireland every March by going green, Irish style - holding grand parades, dying rivers green, drinking green beverages and wearing green clothing.

This year, celebrate with your own fun, festive, colorful and green cuisine. Here are few of my favorites I put on the table as I map at my search for the pot of gold!

New England Shepard’s Pie with Guinness StoutIngredients

1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef 1/3 cup diced onion 1 stalk celery, diced 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1/2 teaspoon thyme 1 teaspoon oregano 1-1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper 1 cup Guinness Stout Salt and pepper to taste 3 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into big chunks 1/4 cup butter 1/3 cup milk 1/3 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons chives 1 16-ounce can whole kernel corn 2 16-ounce cans creamed corn Paprika

PreparationSauté hamburger, onion, celery, garlic, thyme, oregano, red pepper,

stout and salt and pepper until meat is brown. Place sautéed burger mixture in large, shallow casserole dish.

Meanwhile, cook potatoes in water. Mash and season with butter, milk, sour cream, chives and salt and pepper.

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Drain corn, and mix with creamed corn. Layer

SUGGESTED WINE BY APRIL GOSLING NAUDE: Perfect with Rosa Regale.Rosa Regale is a unique red sparkling wine. Aromatic with a hint of rose petals and raspberries, Rosa Regale is delightfully vivacious and festive. While it is appreciated as one of the few wines in the world that truly marries well with chocolate, especially dark or bittersweet, its charms extend across a palette of occasions and food pairings, from savory to sweet.
