This Week’s Feature Story by Arlena SmithBy Jan Critchley

Boogie Woogie Time at Myett’s

“The Piano Man” as he is known, will take the

stage at Myetts, on Saturday 21st and 23rd.

Mitch Woods is a one-man-band and consummate

performer. His New Orleans style vintage rock n’ roll is

a show in itself. Make sure to get there early enough

for a seat – but with this rockin’ boogie-woogie sound,

you won’t be sitting long anyway. For more informa-

tion contact Myett’s at 495-9649.

If you haven’t been exposed to the hand clappin’,

foot stompin’, fingers flying up and down the piano

keyboard sounds of “Boogie-Woogie” – you are in for

a treat. Myett’s is hosting legendary pianist Mitch

Woods and his brand of music dubbed “rock-a-boo-

gie.” Mitch Woods brings to his performance the

authentic sound of blues inspired rock n’ roll, resur-

recting the sounds of the iconic greats in this genre,

including Professor Longhair and Fats Domino.

Woods started out in his home state of New York

as a student of jazz and classical music. A move to

San Francisco in the 70s changed all that with the

exposure to “jump” and rhythm and blues. By the mid

80s, after a time as solo performer in area clubs, Mitch

formed his Rocket 88s band and began to play in larg-

er blues-oriented music festivals. Now two decades

later Woods and his band put a fresh spin on the

music of the 30s and 40s that gave birth to rock n’ roll.

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.

this is so important to you at this time and why you

are having this reaction. Would him saying the words

whether he meant them or not give you some reassur-

ance or were you just feeling embarrassed because

he didn't echo your feelings?

The thing is, by his actions you should have an

idea of how he feels about you. Anyone can say "I love

you" but this is one time when actions do speak loud-

er than words. If he demonstrates no love or care

towards you, then that is a different story and you

have to check to make sure you are not being used.

However, is he acts his love out daily in kind ways and

caring gestures, then don't force the words, they will

come when he is ready.

I Love You...Do You Love Me Back?

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

Dear Koren,

Men are wretched creatures. After six months of

dating, I told my boyfriend I loved him and he didn't

answer. Then I said it again a week later and he just

said cool. I asked him why he responded like that and

he had the nerve to say he is not down like that right

now. What is that supposed to mean?

–Confused

Dear Confused,

Gee, I wish you had asked him what that means

instead of putting me on the spot! It could mean sev-

eral things; maybe it is still too early for him to say it

and he has a timeline, in the same way that most

women have a timeline for sex. Maybe he does not

want to say those words until he is convinced he real-

ly feels that way; or it could be that the second you

say that to somebody, the expectations in the rela-

tionship changes drastically and you must behave a

certain way at all times.

The last thing you want is to pressure someone

into saying something or making a commitment that

they are not ready for. You also want to consider why

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

By Dean “The Sportsman” Greenaway

I’m not a chauvinist – far from it! Naive at times

certainly. Doubtful…Of course! But, not in my wildest

dreams – and there are many – would I have believed

women would have taken over.

Yes, for a VERY long time, I’d been hearing how

women were going to take over. I was stupid enough

not to believe it – naïve you might say.

Then, right before my eyes, in my very own sport,

I got slapped in the face – but still denied. You see, it

was 10 years ago, when the unthinkable began. I

NEVER believed it would EVER happen! Excuse the

naïve side.

From 1970-2005, men were the

face of track and field in the British

Virgin Islands. Following in the foot-

steps of guys like Cecil Dawson,

Derry Maduro Fahie, Robert

Mathavious, Dale Abrahamson and

Gene Hodge among others in the

late 60s into the early 70s, I along

with Guy “Toby” Hill, Jerry Molyneaux, Lindel “Chef”

Hodge, Rawle “Lolly” Hannibal, carried the baton into

regional and international competitions well into the

80s before passing on to the likes of Willis “Chucky”

Todman, Keita Cline and Dion Crabbe. Then Eric

“Shaq” Matthias and Omar Jones. Wait, I didn’t see

the names were getting less and less. When Cline and

Crabbe left, well, there was no one to pass the baton

too on the track – but I was too tired recovering from

my leg to see what was happening – no one brought

my usual dose of smelling salts for revival.

Then in 2005, men fell completely off the radar as

the women took over! Tahesia Harrigan won a medal

at the CAC Sr. Championships and qualified for the

IAAF World Championships – a streak in progress.

Then in 2006, the youth movement kicked in as

coaches Winston Potter, Dag Samuels and Willis

“Chucky” Todman’s young charges began to rise up.

Chantel Malone and Shanice Hazel began winning

medals at the Carifta Games, followed by Kanishque

Todman at the CAC Jr. Championships, then came

Nelda Huggins, Lakeisha “Mimi” Warner and twin sis-

ters Trevia and Tynelle Gumbs. All the while, Harrigan

who added Scott to her name, was picking up CAC

Games medals and an IAAF World Indoor

Championships 60m bronze medal

and last year, Malone struck gold at

the CAC Games – continuing a gold

medal streak that began with

Crabbe in 2002.

Finally, in 2013, Eldred Henry

ended a 10-year medal drought at

the Carifta Games and Kyron

McMaster followed suit in 2014.

Over the weekend, both males showed that the boys

are coming back in town. Henry won the US National

Jr. Colleges Shot Put crown and we second in the

weight throw – after winning the Discus Throw out

doors in 2014.

McMaster – who only took up the event a year ago

and has less then 10 races under his belt – ran a

dynamic 400m Hurdles race against St. Kitts-Nevis’

Oneil Thomas Friday, coming 0.04 seconds short –

51.83-51.87.

So, while the women remain strong, I don’t have

to dodge, “the where are the boys,” question from

regional colleagues. Listen fellas, the boys are coming

back in town!!

The Boys are Coming Back In Town


By Jan Critchley

This 2010, romantic comedy-drama written and

directed by Mike Mills, tells the story of 38-year-old

Oliver Fields (Ewan McGregor), a somewhat solitary

graphic artist in Los Angeles grieving after the death

of his father, Hal (Christopher Plummer).

Flashback to three years earlier, shortly after the

death of Oliver’s mother, Georgia (Mary Page Keller).

At this moving time, Hal confesses to his son that he

is gay and goes on to embrace the lifestyle he had

always hidden and becomes very active in the local

gay community, finds love and becomes more honest

with himself and his son. Sadly, Hal is diagnosed with

terminal lung cancer, and Oliver stays by his side till

the end.

Two months after Hal’s death, Oliver is in a state of

functional depression and has adopted his father’s

beloved Jack Russell terrier, Arthur – who he can bear

to leave alone. Oliver’s friends talk him into going to a

costume party and so with Arthur at his side and

dressed as Sigmund Freud, Oliver gives impromptu

psychoanalysis and meets Anna (Melanie Laurent) an

aspiring actress, dressed as Charlie Chaplin and is

“silent,” communicating with only pen and paper.

From there, they start a tentative relationship that

ebbs and flows with their personal uncertainties, and

she goes to New York for a filming assignment.

Through a series of flashbacks, Oliver looks back on

his life and begins to see his childhood as a time

marked by his parent’s difficult and distant relation-

ship. He also realizes that both parents had known

about Hals sexuality from the beginning which had

been hidden, as was the fact that his mother was from

a Jewish family and had been discriminated against

whilst growing up during WWII – and he realizes the

emotional pain that surrounded them, living in an era

when such lifestyles were taboo.

When Anna returns to LA, the two decide to move

in together, but sharing a home life together proves to

be more stressful that either expected and Anna

returns to New York. Oliver is devastated by the

break-up and some time later, he resolves to contact

Anna again and flies to New York, where he makes yet

another discovery, but this time one that can see him

having happiness and contentment in his life at last.

The objective is to fill the full 9x9 grid with digits so

that each column, each row, and each of the nine

3x3 “sub-grids” that compose the main grid con-

tains all of the digits from 1 to 9 – with no repeats

within each row or column within the entire square.

A partially completed grid is usually provided,

which typically has a unique solution. See next
