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 [email protected] 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!

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-

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.”

The objective is to fill the full 9x9 grid withdigits so that each column, each row, andeach of the nine 3x3 “sub-grids” that com-pose the main grid contains all of the digitsfrom 1 to 9 – with no repeats within each rowor column within the entire square. A partiallycompleted grid is usually provided, which typ-ically has a unique solution. See next weeksLimin’ Times issue for solution.
