Bermuda Ha Hathe life of a reporterBY RoGER CRomBiE

When I was a reporter in Bermuda despite being the friendliest guy around I managed to upset the PR de-partment of every large insurer on the Island usually without trying

One of the very largest companies was once one of the very smallest I helped by writing press releases an-nual reports doctorsrsquo prescriptions (just kidding) and so forth Then they became huge and did a dumb thing which they had to own up to The boss told me so that I could tell everyone else

The companyrsquos PR department became enraged that I had done so ldquoWhy canrsquot you be like (another reporter)rdquo they asked ldquoHe does exactly what we tell himrdquo I explained that I was a proper reporter ldquoRightrdquo the woman said ldquoYou have to meet with our general counselrdquo the top legal man

A friend advised me not to go ldquoThe man is a monsterrdquo my friend said ldquoHersquoll eat you aliverdquo Excellent I replied and what a great story Man eats reporter

Tragically the general counsel was a coward and cancelled the interview before it could happen Some monster

Much the same thing happened with a Government Minister He said something very dumb something very very dumb indeed Something yoursquod ground your seven-year-old for saying for a year So I reported it which was my job

I was hauled in to meet the Minister The Permanent Secretary explained that the Minister had indeed said the words in public but hadnrsquot wanted it reported ldquoThen he should have been an editor not a Ministerrdquo I explained

ldquoEither way yoursquore going to receive a beatingrdquo the PS said Excellent I replied and what a great story Minister beats reporter

ldquoWait hererdquo the PS said and that meeting was cancelled too

I once made a mistake Shocking I know but there it is I said a guy was from some-where that he wasnrsquot from He was a big shot at a reinsurance company I was banned for years from entering the company or even dreaming about it

Eventually the company needed something that only I could provide In I went and bumped into the dude I apologised profusely ldquoNo needrdquo he said ldquoI wish I were what you said I wasrdquo Eight years in the wilderness for nothing

I could fill this magazine thrice over with such stories but for some reason they like having lots of articles in it not just one So Irsquoll close with a short tale

One PR guy said hersquod land me an interview with the top man if I would write his reporter wifersquos stories for her for a week so that they could go on vacation Like a fool I agreed but the stories required specialist knowledge of the kind it takes a lifetime to accumulate I simply couldnrsquot write them When they returned from hols I was banned from the company for life

Ah the life of a reporter No matter how badly yoursquore treated therersquos always a story Reporter finishes article

14 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

The Visitor Industry Partnership (VIP) in association with lead sponsor the Bermuda Tourism Board is pleased to announce the first winner of the VIP Sunshine Award programme Mr Jame G Tweed a bus operator who was nominated by Mrs JoAnn M Brown of New York State This quarterly programme is designed to highlight a Bermuda resident who has gone lsquoabove and beyondrsquo to make a Visitorrsquos stay in Bermuda lsquoone to rememberrsquo Visitors are encouraged to nominate a resident using a nomination form that can be found in lsquoThis Week in Bermudarsquo or online at wwwvipbm

When Mrs Brownrsquos family visited Bermuda they felt that Mr Tweed went above and beyond his duty as

a public transportation bus driver She explained ldquoOur family had the pleasure of being passengers on his bus twice in the 3 days while we were docked in Bermuda Mr Tweed greeted all his passengers with a big smile and friendly demeanor He obviously enjoyed his job and was proud to call Bermuda his home He didnrsquot only drive us to our destination but he also proudly explained the sites and culture of Bermuda At one point he stopped the bus so the passengers could take a picture of one of the many beautiful beaches of Bermuda Mr Tweed represented all the people of Bermuda very kind and friendly We have traveled to many islands in the past and Bermuda is our top pick We are looking forward to returning to Bermuda someday and we will proudly recommend family and friends to visit Bermuda for vacationrdquo

The Chair of Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy is proud to congratulate and thank Mr Tweed for making the Brown familyrsquos Bermuda holiday such a special memory and for spreading some wonderful Bermuda Sunshine

Mr Tweed received a VIP Sunshine Award Pin and a congratulatory lunch compliments of the Island Restaurant Group with the Minister of Tourism the Hon Shawn Crockwell JPMP the Chairman of the Tourism Board David Dodwell and the Chair of the Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy Chairman Dodwell remarked ldquoIt is absolutely imperative that every man woman and child in Bermuda is gracious and welcoming to each and every one of our valued visitors Walking the extra mile doing that little bit extra is in the character and history of Bermudians from all walks of life This heritage of warmth and caring personality continues to be epitomized by Mr Tweed If everyone took a leaf out of his book Bermuda tourism will soon be on the road to recoveryrdquo

After hearing about this programme the General Manager of The Fairmont Southampton Mr George Terpilowski awarded Mr Tweed a complimentary hotel stay with dinner and breakfast ldquoEveryone in Bermuda is key to our visitors having a positive memorable vacation experience from the child in their smart school uniform giving a smile and a wave to the shop assistant bus operator the waitress and waiter and even the jogger on the railway trail taking their time to say hello with a happy face These are the positives our guests take away as precious memories The Fairmont Southampton is thrilled to participate in the Sunshine Award initiative It is our way of saying thank you to those who make Bermuda so much more and Mr Tweed is a shining example of going the extra milerdquo

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Bermuda Ha Hathe life of a reporterBY RoGER CRomBiE

When I was a reporter in Bermuda despite being the friendliest guy around I managed to upset the PR de-partment of every large insurer on the Island usually without trying

One of the very largest companies was once one of the very smallest I helped by writing press releases an-nual reports doctorsrsquo prescriptions (just kidding) and so forth Then they became huge and did a dumb thing which they had to own up to The boss told me so that I could tell everyone else

The companyrsquos PR department became enraged that I had done so ldquoWhy canrsquot you be like (another reporter)rdquo they asked ldquoHe does exactly what we tell himrdquo I explained that I was a proper reporter ldquoRightrdquo the woman said ldquoYou have to meet with our general counselrdquo the top legal man

A friend advised me not to go ldquoThe man is a monsterrdquo my friend said ldquoHersquoll eat you aliverdquo Excellent I replied and what a great story Man eats reporter

Tragically the general counsel was a coward and cancelled the interview before it could happen Some monster

Much the same thing happened with a Government Minister He said something very dumb something very very dumb indeed Something yoursquod ground your seven-year-old for saying for a year So I reported it which was my job

I was hauled in to meet the Minister The Permanent Secretary explained that the Minister had indeed said the words in public but hadnrsquot wanted it reported ldquoThen he should have been an editor not a Ministerrdquo I explained

ldquoEither way yoursquore going to receive a beatingrdquo the PS said Excellent I replied and what a great story Minister beats reporter

ldquoWait hererdquo the PS said and that meeting was cancelled too

I once made a mistake Shocking I know but there it is I said a guy was from some-where that he wasnrsquot from He was a big shot at a reinsurance company I was banned for years from entering the company or even dreaming about it

Eventually the company needed something that only I could provide In I went and bumped into the dude I apologised profusely ldquoNo needrdquo he said ldquoI wish I were what you said I wasrdquo Eight years in the wilderness for nothing

I could fill this magazine thrice over with such stories but for some reason they like having lots of articles in it not just one So Irsquoll close with a short tale

One PR guy said hersquod land me an interview with the top man if I would write his reporter wifersquos stories for her for a week so that they could go on vacation Like a fool I agreed but the stories required specialist knowledge of the kind it takes a lifetime to accumulate I simply couldnrsquot write them When they returned from hols I was banned from the company for life

Ah the life of a reporter No matter how badly yoursquore treated therersquos always a story Reporter finishes article

The Visitor Industry Partnership (VIP) in association with lead sponsor the Bermuda Tourism Board is pleased to announce the first winner of the VIP Sunshine Award programme Mr Jame G Tweed a bus operator who was nominated by Mrs JoAnn M Brown of New York State This quarterly programme is designed to highlight a Bermuda resident who has gone lsquoabove and beyondrsquo to make a Visitorrsquos stay in Bermuda lsquoone to rememberrsquo Visitors are encouraged to nominate a resident using a nomination form that can be found in lsquoThis Week in Bermudarsquo or online at wwwvipbm

When Mrs Brownrsquos family visited Bermuda they felt that Mr Tweed went above and beyond his duty as

a public transportation bus driver She explained ldquoOur family had the pleasure of being passengers on his bus twice in the 3 days while we were docked in Bermuda Mr Tweed greeted all his passengers with a big smile and friendly demeanor He obviously enjoyed his job and was proud to call Bermuda his home He didnrsquot only drive us to our destination but he also proudly explained the sites and culture of Bermuda At one point he stopped the bus so the passengers could take a picture of one of the many beautiful beaches of Bermuda Mr Tweed represented all the people of Bermuda very kind and friendly We have traveled to many islands in the past and Bermuda is our top pick We are looking forward to returning to Bermuda someday and we will proudly recommend family and friends to visit Bermuda for vacationrdquo

The Chair of Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy is proud to congratulate and thank Mr Tweed for making the Brown familyrsquos Bermuda holiday such a special memory and for spreading some wonderful Bermuda Sunshine

Mr Tweed received a VIP Sunshine Award Pin and a congratulatory lunch compliments of the Island Restaurant Group with the Minister of Tourism the Hon Shawn Crockwell JPMP the Chairman of the Tourism Board David Dodwell and the Chair of the Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy Chairman Dodwell remarked ldquoIt is absolutely imperative that every man woman and child in Bermuda is gracious and welcoming to each and every one of our valued visitors Walking the extra mile doing that little bit extra is in the character and history of Bermudians from all walks of life This heritage of warmth and caring personality continues to be epitomized by Mr Tweed If everyone took a leaf out of his book Bermuda tourism will soon be on the road to recoveryrdquo

After hearing about this programme the General Manager of The Fairmont Southampton Mr George Terpilowski awarded Mr Tweed a complimentary hotel stay with dinner and breakfast ldquoEveryone in Bermuda is key to our visitors having a positive memorable vacation experience from the child in their smart school uniform giving a smile and a wave to the shop assistant bus operator the waitress and waiter and even the jogger on the railway trail taking their time to say hello with a happy face These are the positives our guests take away as precious memories The Fairmont Southampton is thrilled to participate in the Sunshine Award initiative It is our way of saying thank you to those who make Bermuda so much more and Mr Tweed is a shining example of going the extra milerdquo

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

St Eustatius with its only town looking towards its main volcanic peak in 1994 the ruins of the grand and marbled Government House of Governor de Graaf as seen in a recent photograph inset

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Bermuda Ha Hathe life of a reporterBY RoGER CRomBiE

When I was a reporter in Bermuda despite being the friendliest guy around I managed to upset the PR de-partment of every large insurer on the Island usually without trying

One of the very largest companies was once one of the very smallest I helped by writing press releases an-nual reports doctorsrsquo prescriptions (just kidding) and so forth Then they became huge and did a dumb thing which they had to own up to The boss told me so that I could tell everyone else

The companyrsquos PR department became enraged that I had done so ldquoWhy canrsquot you be like (another reporter)rdquo they asked ldquoHe does exactly what we tell himrdquo I explained that I was a proper reporter ldquoRightrdquo the woman said ldquoYou have to meet with our general counselrdquo the top legal man

A friend advised me not to go ldquoThe man is a monsterrdquo my friend said ldquoHersquoll eat you aliverdquo Excellent I replied and what a great story Man eats reporter

Tragically the general counsel was a coward and cancelled the interview before it could happen Some monster

Much the same thing happened with a Government Minister He said something very dumb something very very dumb indeed Something yoursquod ground your seven-year-old for saying for a year So I reported it which was my job

I was hauled in to meet the Minister The Permanent Secretary explained that the Minister had indeed said the words in public but hadnrsquot wanted it reported ldquoThen he should have been an editor not a Ministerrdquo I explained

ldquoEither way yoursquore going to receive a beatingrdquo the PS said Excellent I replied and what a great story Minister beats reporter

ldquoWait hererdquo the PS said and that meeting was cancelled too

I once made a mistake Shocking I know but there it is I said a guy was from some-where that he wasnrsquot from He was a big shot at a reinsurance company I was banned for years from entering the company or even dreaming about it

Eventually the company needed something that only I could provide In I went and bumped into the dude I apologised profusely ldquoNo needrdquo he said ldquoI wish I were what you said I wasrdquo Eight years in the wilderness for nothing

I could fill this magazine thrice over with such stories but for some reason they like having lots of articles in it not just one So Irsquoll close with a short tale

One PR guy said hersquod land me an interview with the top man if I would write his reporter wifersquos stories for her for a week so that they could go on vacation Like a fool I agreed but the stories required specialist knowledge of the kind it takes a lifetime to accumulate I simply couldnrsquot write them When they returned from hols I was banned from the company for life

Ah the life of a reporter No matter how badly yoursquore treated therersquos always a story Reporter finishes article

14 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

The Visitor Industry Partnership (VIP) in association with lead sponsor the Bermuda Tourism Board is pleased to announce the first winner of the VIP Sunshine Award programme Mr Jame G Tweed a bus operator who was nominated by Mrs JoAnn M Brown of New York State This quarterly programme is designed to highlight a Bermuda resident who has gone lsquoabove and beyondrsquo to make a Visitorrsquos stay in Bermuda lsquoone to rememberrsquo Visitors are encouraged to nominate a resident using a nomination form that can be found in lsquoThis Week in Bermudarsquo or online at wwwvipbm

When Mrs Brownrsquos family visited Bermuda they felt that Mr Tweed went above and beyond his duty as

a public transportation bus driver She explained ldquoOur family had the pleasure of being passengers on his bus twice in the 3 days while we were docked in Bermuda Mr Tweed greeted all his passengers with a big smile and friendly demeanor He obviously enjoyed his job and was proud to call Bermuda his home He didnrsquot only drive us to our destination but he also proudly explained the sites and culture of Bermuda At one point he stopped the bus so the passengers could take a picture of one of the many beautiful beaches of Bermuda Mr Tweed represented all the people of Bermuda very kind and friendly We have traveled to many islands in the past and Bermuda is our top pick We are looking forward to returning to Bermuda someday and we will proudly recommend family and friends to visit Bermuda for vacationrdquo

The Chair of Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy is proud to congratulate and thank Mr Tweed for making the Brown familyrsquos Bermuda holiday such a special memory and for spreading some wonderful Bermuda Sunshine

Mr Tweed received a VIP Sunshine Award Pin and a congratulatory lunch compliments of the Island Restaurant Group with the Minister of Tourism the Hon Shawn Crockwell JPMP the Chairman of the Tourism Board David Dodwell and the Chair of the Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy Chairman Dodwell remarked ldquoIt is absolutely imperative that every man woman and child in Bermuda is gracious and welcoming to each and every one of our valued visitors Walking the extra mile doing that little bit extra is in the character and history of Bermudians from all walks of life This heritage of warmth and caring personality continues to be epitomized by Mr Tweed If everyone took a leaf out of his book Bermuda tourism will soon be on the road to recoveryrdquo

After hearing about this programme the General Manager of The Fairmont Southampton Mr George Terpilowski awarded Mr Tweed a complimentary hotel stay with dinner and breakfast ldquoEveryone in Bermuda is key to our visitors having a positive memorable vacation experience from the child in their smart school uniform giving a smile and a wave to the shop assistant bus operator the waitress and waiter and even the jogger on the railway trail taking their time to say hello with a happy face These are the positives our guests take away as precious memories The Fairmont Southampton is thrilled to participate in the Sunshine Award initiative It is our way of saying thank you to those who make Bermuda so much more and Mr Tweed is a shining example of going the extra milerdquo

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

In The Arts

BY ARiANA C FRANCiS

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

48 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Bermuda Ha Hathe life of a reporterBY RoGER CRomBiE

When I was a reporter in Bermuda despite being the friendliest guy around I managed to upset the PR de-partment of every large insurer on the Island usually without trying

One of the very largest companies was once one of the very smallest I helped by writing press releases an-nual reports doctorsrsquo prescriptions (just kidding) and so forth Then they became huge and did a dumb thing which they had to own up to The boss told me so that I could tell everyone else

The companyrsquos PR department became enraged that I had done so ldquoWhy canrsquot you be like (another reporter)rdquo they asked ldquoHe does exactly what we tell himrdquo I explained that I was a proper reporter ldquoRightrdquo the woman said ldquoYou have to meet with our general counselrdquo the top legal man

A friend advised me not to go ldquoThe man is a monsterrdquo my friend said ldquoHersquoll eat you aliverdquo Excellent I replied and what a great story Man eats reporter

Tragically the general counsel was a coward and cancelled the interview before it could happen Some monster

Much the same thing happened with a Government Minister He said something very dumb something very very dumb indeed Something yoursquod ground your seven-year-old for saying for a year So I reported it which was my job

I was hauled in to meet the Minister The Permanent Secretary explained that the Minister had indeed said the words in public but hadnrsquot wanted it reported ldquoThen he should have been an editor not a Ministerrdquo I explained

ldquoEither way yoursquore going to receive a beatingrdquo the PS said Excellent I replied and what a great story Minister beats reporter

ldquoWait hererdquo the PS said and that meeting was cancelled too

I once made a mistake Shocking I know but there it is I said a guy was from some-where that he wasnrsquot from He was a big shot at a reinsurance company I was banned for years from entering the company or even dreaming about it

Eventually the company needed something that only I could provide In I went and bumped into the dude I apologised profusely ldquoNo needrdquo he said ldquoI wish I were what you said I wasrdquo Eight years in the wilderness for nothing

I could fill this magazine thrice over with such stories but for some reason they like having lots of articles in it not just one So Irsquoll close with a short tale

One PR guy said hersquod land me an interview with the top man if I would write his reporter wifersquos stories for her for a week so that they could go on vacation Like a fool I agreed but the stories required specialist knowledge of the kind it takes a lifetime to accumulate I simply couldnrsquot write them When they returned from hols I was banned from the company for life

Ah the life of a reporter No matter how badly yoursquore treated therersquos always a story Reporter finishes article

The Visitor Industry Partnership (VIP) in association with lead sponsor the Bermuda Tourism Board is pleased to announce the first winner of the VIP Sunshine Award programme Mr Jame G Tweed a bus operator who was nominated by Mrs JoAnn M Brown of New York State This quarterly programme is designed to highlight a Bermuda resident who has gone lsquoabove and beyondrsquo to make a Visitorrsquos stay in Bermuda lsquoone to rememberrsquo Visitors are encouraged to nominate a resident using a nomination form that can be found in lsquoThis Week in Bermudarsquo or online at wwwvipbm

When Mrs Brownrsquos family visited Bermuda they felt that Mr Tweed went above and beyond his duty as

a public transportation bus driver She explained ldquoOur family had the pleasure of being passengers on his bus twice in the 3 days while we were docked in Bermuda Mr Tweed greeted all his passengers with a big smile and friendly demeanor He obviously enjoyed his job and was proud to call Bermuda his home He didnrsquot only drive us to our destination but he also proudly explained the sites and culture of Bermuda At one point he stopped the bus so the passengers could take a picture of one of the many beautiful beaches of Bermuda Mr Tweed represented all the people of Bermuda very kind and friendly We have traveled to many islands in the past and Bermuda is our top pick We are looking forward to returning to Bermuda someday and we will proudly recommend family and friends to visit Bermuda for vacationrdquo

The Chair of Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy is proud to congratulate and thank Mr Tweed for making the Brown familyrsquos Bermuda holiday such a special memory and for spreading some wonderful Bermuda Sunshine

Mr Tweed received a VIP Sunshine Award Pin and a congratulatory lunch compliments of the Island Restaurant Group with the Minister of Tourism the Hon Shawn Crockwell JPMP the Chairman of the Tourism Board David Dodwell and the Chair of the Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy Chairman Dodwell remarked ldquoIt is absolutely imperative that every man woman and child in Bermuda is gracious and welcoming to each and every one of our valued visitors Walking the extra mile doing that little bit extra is in the character and history of Bermudians from all walks of life This heritage of warmth and caring personality continues to be epitomized by Mr Tweed If everyone took a leaf out of his book Bermuda tourism will soon be on the road to recoveryrdquo

After hearing about this programme the General Manager of The Fairmont Southampton Mr George Terpilowski awarded Mr Tweed a complimentary hotel stay with dinner and breakfast ldquoEveryone in Bermuda is key to our visitors having a positive memorable vacation experience from the child in their smart school uniform giving a smile and a wave to the shop assistant bus operator the waitress and waiter and even the jogger on the railway trail taking their time to say hello with a happy face These are the positives our guests take away as precious memories The Fairmont Southampton is thrilled to participate in the Sunshine Award initiative It is our way of saying thank you to those who make Bermuda so much more and Mr Tweed is a shining example of going the extra milerdquo

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Bermuda Ha Hathe life of a reporterBY RoGER CRomBiE

When I was a reporter in Bermuda despite being the friendliest guy around I managed to upset the PR de-partment of every large insurer on the Island usually without trying

One of the very largest companies was once one of the very smallest I helped by writing press releases an-nual reports doctorsrsquo prescriptions (just kidding) and so forth Then they became huge and did a dumb thing which they had to own up to The boss told me so that I could tell everyone else

The companyrsquos PR department became enraged that I had done so ldquoWhy canrsquot you be like (another reporter)rdquo they asked ldquoHe does exactly what we tell himrdquo I explained that I was a proper reporter ldquoRightrdquo the woman said ldquoYou have to meet with our general counselrdquo the top legal man

A friend advised me not to go ldquoThe man is a monsterrdquo my friend said ldquoHersquoll eat you aliverdquo Excellent I replied and what a great story Man eats reporter

Tragically the general counsel was a coward and cancelled the interview before it could happen Some monster

Much the same thing happened with a Government Minister He said something very dumb something very very dumb indeed Something yoursquod ground your seven-year-old for saying for a year So I reported it which was my job

I was hauled in to meet the Minister The Permanent Secretary explained that the Minister had indeed said the words in public but hadnrsquot wanted it reported ldquoThen he should have been an editor not a Ministerrdquo I explained

ldquoEither way yoursquore going to receive a beatingrdquo the PS said Excellent I replied and what a great story Minister beats reporter

ldquoWait hererdquo the PS said and that meeting was cancelled too

I once made a mistake Shocking I know but there it is I said a guy was from some-where that he wasnrsquot from He was a big shot at a reinsurance company I was banned for years from entering the company or even dreaming about it

Eventually the company needed something that only I could provide In I went and bumped into the dude I apologised profusely ldquoNo needrdquo he said ldquoI wish I were what you said I wasrdquo Eight years in the wilderness for nothing

I could fill this magazine thrice over with such stories but for some reason they like having lots of articles in it not just one So Irsquoll close with a short tale

One PR guy said hersquod land me an interview with the top man if I would write his reporter wifersquos stories for her for a week so that they could go on vacation Like a fool I agreed but the stories required specialist knowledge of the kind it takes a lifetime to accumulate I simply couldnrsquot write them When they returned from hols I was banned from the company for life

Ah the life of a reporter No matter how badly yoursquore treated therersquos always a story Reporter finishes article

14 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

The Visitor Industry Partnership (VIP) in association with lead sponsor the Bermuda Tourism Board is pleased to announce the first winner of the VIP Sunshine Award programme Mr Jame G Tweed a bus operator who was nominated by Mrs JoAnn M Brown of New York State This quarterly programme is designed to highlight a Bermuda resident who has gone lsquoabove and beyondrsquo to make a Visitorrsquos stay in Bermuda lsquoone to rememberrsquo Visitors are encouraged to nominate a resident using a nomination form that can be found in lsquoThis Week in Bermudarsquo or online at wwwvipbm

When Mrs Brownrsquos family visited Bermuda they felt that Mr Tweed went above and beyond his duty as

a public transportation bus driver She explained ldquoOur family had the pleasure of being passengers on his bus twice in the 3 days while we were docked in Bermuda Mr Tweed greeted all his passengers with a big smile and friendly demeanor He obviously enjoyed his job and was proud to call Bermuda his home He didnrsquot only drive us to our destination but he also proudly explained the sites and culture of Bermuda At one point he stopped the bus so the passengers could take a picture of one of the many beautiful beaches of Bermuda Mr Tweed represented all the people of Bermuda very kind and friendly We have traveled to many islands in the past and Bermuda is our top pick We are looking forward to returning to Bermuda someday and we will proudly recommend family and friends to visit Bermuda for vacationrdquo

The Chair of Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy is proud to congratulate and thank Mr Tweed for making the Brown familyrsquos Bermuda holiday such a special memory and for spreading some wonderful Bermuda Sunshine

Mr Tweed received a VIP Sunshine Award Pin and a congratulatory lunch compliments of the Island Restaurant Group with the Minister of Tourism the Hon Shawn Crockwell JPMP the Chairman of the Tourism Board David Dodwell and the Chair of the Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy Chairman Dodwell remarked ldquoIt is absolutely imperative that every man woman and child in Bermuda is gracious and welcoming to each and every one of our valued visitors Walking the extra mile doing that little bit extra is in the character and history of Bermudians from all walks of life This heritage of warmth and caring personality continues to be epitomized by Mr Tweed If everyone took a leaf out of his book Bermuda tourism will soon be on the road to recoveryrdquo

After hearing about this programme the General Manager of The Fairmont Southampton Mr George Terpilowski awarded Mr Tweed a complimentary hotel stay with dinner and breakfast ldquoEveryone in Bermuda is key to our visitors having a positive memorable vacation experience from the child in their smart school uniform giving a smile and a wave to the shop assistant bus operator the waitress and waiter and even the jogger on the railway trail taking their time to say hello with a happy face These are the positives our guests take away as precious memories The Fairmont Southampton is thrilled to participate in the Sunshine Award initiative It is our way of saying thank you to those who make Bermuda so much more and Mr Tweed is a shining example of going the extra milerdquo

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

48 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Bermuda Ha Hathe life of a reporterBY RoGER CRomBiE

When I was a reporter in Bermuda despite being the friendliest guy around I managed to upset the PR de-partment of every large insurer on the Island usually without trying

One of the very largest companies was once one of the very smallest I helped by writing press releases an-nual reports doctorsrsquo prescriptions (just kidding) and so forth Then they became huge and did a dumb thing which they had to own up to The boss told me so that I could tell everyone else

The companyrsquos PR department became enraged that I had done so ldquoWhy canrsquot you be like (another reporter)rdquo they asked ldquoHe does exactly what we tell himrdquo I explained that I was a proper reporter ldquoRightrdquo the woman said ldquoYou have to meet with our general counselrdquo the top legal man

A friend advised me not to go ldquoThe man is a monsterrdquo my friend said ldquoHersquoll eat you aliverdquo Excellent I replied and what a great story Man eats reporter

Tragically the general counsel was a coward and cancelled the interview before it could happen Some monster

Much the same thing happened with a Government Minister He said something very dumb something very very dumb indeed Something yoursquod ground your seven-year-old for saying for a year So I reported it which was my job

I was hauled in to meet the Minister The Permanent Secretary explained that the Minister had indeed said the words in public but hadnrsquot wanted it reported ldquoThen he should have been an editor not a Ministerrdquo I explained

ldquoEither way yoursquore going to receive a beatingrdquo the PS said Excellent I replied and what a great story Minister beats reporter

ldquoWait hererdquo the PS said and that meeting was cancelled too

I once made a mistake Shocking I know but there it is I said a guy was from some-where that he wasnrsquot from He was a big shot at a reinsurance company I was banned for years from entering the company or even dreaming about it

Eventually the company needed something that only I could provide In I went and bumped into the dude I apologised profusely ldquoNo needrdquo he said ldquoI wish I were what you said I wasrdquo Eight years in the wilderness for nothing

I could fill this magazine thrice over with such stories but for some reason they like having lots of articles in it not just one So Irsquoll close with a short tale

One PR guy said hersquod land me an interview with the top man if I would write his reporter wifersquos stories for her for a week so that they could go on vacation Like a fool I agreed but the stories required specialist knowledge of the kind it takes a lifetime to accumulate I simply couldnrsquot write them When they returned from hols I was banned from the company for life

Ah the life of a reporter No matter how badly yoursquore treated therersquos always a story Reporter finishes article

14 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

The Visitor Industry Partnership (VIP) in association with lead sponsor the Bermuda Tourism Board is pleased to announce the first winner of the VIP Sunshine Award programme Mr Jame G Tweed a bus operator who was nominated by Mrs JoAnn M Brown of New York State This quarterly programme is designed to highlight a Bermuda resident who has gone lsquoabove and beyondrsquo to make a Visitorrsquos stay in Bermuda lsquoone to rememberrsquo Visitors are encouraged to nominate a resident using a nomination form that can be found in lsquoThis Week in Bermudarsquo or online at wwwvipbm

When Mrs Brownrsquos family visited Bermuda they felt that Mr Tweed went above and beyond his duty as

a public transportation bus driver She explained ldquoOur family had the pleasure of being passengers on his bus twice in the 3 days while we were docked in Bermuda Mr Tweed greeted all his passengers with a big smile and friendly demeanor He obviously enjoyed his job and was proud to call Bermuda his home He didnrsquot only drive us to our destination but he also proudly explained the sites and culture of Bermuda At one point he stopped the bus so the passengers could take a picture of one of the many beautiful beaches of Bermuda Mr Tweed represented all the people of Bermuda very kind and friendly We have traveled to many islands in the past and Bermuda is our top pick We are looking forward to returning to Bermuda someday and we will proudly recommend family and friends to visit Bermuda for vacationrdquo

The Chair of Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy is proud to congratulate and thank Mr Tweed for making the Brown familyrsquos Bermuda holiday such a special memory and for spreading some wonderful Bermuda Sunshine

Mr Tweed received a VIP Sunshine Award Pin and a congratulatory lunch compliments of the Island Restaurant Group with the Minister of Tourism the Hon Shawn Crockwell JPMP the Chairman of the Tourism Board David Dodwell and the Chair of the Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy Chairman Dodwell remarked ldquoIt is absolutely imperative that every man woman and child in Bermuda is gracious and welcoming to each and every one of our valued visitors Walking the extra mile doing that little bit extra is in the character and history of Bermudians from all walks of life This heritage of warmth and caring personality continues to be epitomized by Mr Tweed If everyone took a leaf out of his book Bermuda tourism will soon be on the road to recoveryrdquo

After hearing about this programme the General Manager of The Fairmont Southampton Mr George Terpilowski awarded Mr Tweed a complimentary hotel stay with dinner and breakfast ldquoEveryone in Bermuda is key to our visitors having a positive memorable vacation experience from the child in their smart school uniform giving a smile and a wave to the shop assistant bus operator the waitress and waiter and even the jogger on the railway trail taking their time to say hello with a happy face These are the positives our guests take away as precious memories The Fairmont Southampton is thrilled to participate in the Sunshine Award initiative It is our way of saying thank you to those who make Bermuda so much more and Mr Tweed is a shining example of going the extra milerdquo

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Bermuda Ha Hathe life of a reporterBY RoGER CRomBiE

When I was a reporter in Bermuda despite being the friendliest guy around I managed to upset the PR de-partment of every large insurer on the Island usually without trying

One of the very largest companies was once one of the very smallest I helped by writing press releases an-nual reports doctorsrsquo prescriptions (just kidding) and so forth Then they became huge and did a dumb thing which they had to own up to The boss told me so that I could tell everyone else

The companyrsquos PR department became enraged that I had done so ldquoWhy canrsquot you be like (another reporter)rdquo they asked ldquoHe does exactly what we tell himrdquo I explained that I was a proper reporter ldquoRightrdquo the woman said ldquoYou have to meet with our general counselrdquo the top legal man

A friend advised me not to go ldquoThe man is a monsterrdquo my friend said ldquoHersquoll eat you aliverdquo Excellent I replied and what a great story Man eats reporter

Tragically the general counsel was a coward and cancelled the interview before it could happen Some monster

Much the same thing happened with a Government Minister He said something very dumb something very very dumb indeed Something yoursquod ground your seven-year-old for saying for a year So I reported it which was my job

I was hauled in to meet the Minister The Permanent Secretary explained that the Minister had indeed said the words in public but hadnrsquot wanted it reported ldquoThen he should have been an editor not a Ministerrdquo I explained

ldquoEither way yoursquore going to receive a beatingrdquo the PS said Excellent I replied and what a great story Minister beats reporter

ldquoWait hererdquo the PS said and that meeting was cancelled too

I once made a mistake Shocking I know but there it is I said a guy was from some-where that he wasnrsquot from He was a big shot at a reinsurance company I was banned for years from entering the company or even dreaming about it

Eventually the company needed something that only I could provide In I went and bumped into the dude I apologised profusely ldquoNo needrdquo he said ldquoI wish I were what you said I wasrdquo Eight years in the wilderness for nothing

I could fill this magazine thrice over with such stories but for some reason they like having lots of articles in it not just one So Irsquoll close with a short tale

One PR guy said hersquod land me an interview with the top man if I would write his reporter wifersquos stories for her for a week so that they could go on vacation Like a fool I agreed but the stories required specialist knowledge of the kind it takes a lifetime to accumulate I simply couldnrsquot write them When they returned from hols I was banned from the company for life

Ah the life of a reporter No matter how badly yoursquore treated therersquos always a story Reporter finishes article

14 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

The Visitor Industry Partnership (VIP) in association with lead sponsor the Bermuda Tourism Board is pleased to announce the first winner of the VIP Sunshine Award programme Mr Jame G Tweed a bus operator who was nominated by Mrs JoAnn M Brown of New York State This quarterly programme is designed to highlight a Bermuda resident who has gone lsquoabove and beyondrsquo to make a Visitorrsquos stay in Bermuda lsquoone to rememberrsquo Visitors are encouraged to nominate a resident using a nomination form that can be found in lsquoThis Week in Bermudarsquo or online at wwwvipbm

When Mrs Brownrsquos family visited Bermuda they felt that Mr Tweed went above and beyond his duty as

a public transportation bus driver She explained ldquoOur family had the pleasure of being passengers on his bus twice in the 3 days while we were docked in Bermuda Mr Tweed greeted all his passengers with a big smile and friendly demeanor He obviously enjoyed his job and was proud to call Bermuda his home He didnrsquot only drive us to our destination but he also proudly explained the sites and culture of Bermuda At one point he stopped the bus so the passengers could take a picture of one of the many beautiful beaches of Bermuda Mr Tweed represented all the people of Bermuda very kind and friendly We have traveled to many islands in the past and Bermuda is our top pick We are looking forward to returning to Bermuda someday and we will proudly recommend family and friends to visit Bermuda for vacationrdquo

The Chair of Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy is proud to congratulate and thank Mr Tweed for making the Brown familyrsquos Bermuda holiday such a special memory and for spreading some wonderful Bermuda Sunshine

Mr Tweed received a VIP Sunshine Award Pin and a congratulatory lunch compliments of the Island Restaurant Group with the Minister of Tourism the Hon Shawn Crockwell JPMP the Chairman of the Tourism Board David Dodwell and the Chair of the Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy Chairman Dodwell remarked ldquoIt is absolutely imperative that every man woman and child in Bermuda is gracious and welcoming to each and every one of our valued visitors Walking the extra mile doing that little bit extra is in the character and history of Bermudians from all walks of life This heritage of warmth and caring personality continues to be epitomized by Mr Tweed If everyone took a leaf out of his book Bermuda tourism will soon be on the road to recoveryrdquo

After hearing about this programme the General Manager of The Fairmont Southampton Mr George Terpilowski awarded Mr Tweed a complimentary hotel stay with dinner and breakfast ldquoEveryone in Bermuda is key to our visitors having a positive memorable vacation experience from the child in their smart school uniform giving a smile and a wave to the shop assistant bus operator the waitress and waiter and even the jogger on the railway trail taking their time to say hello with a happy face These are the positives our guests take away as precious memories The Fairmont Southampton is thrilled to participate in the Sunshine Award initiative It is our way of saying thank you to those who make Bermuda so much more and Mr Tweed is a shining example of going the extra milerdquo

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Bermuda Ha Hathe life of a reporterBY RoGER CRomBiE

When I was a reporter in Bermuda despite being the friendliest guy around I managed to upset the PR de-partment of every large insurer on the Island usually without trying

One of the very largest companies was once one of the very smallest I helped by writing press releases an-nual reports doctorsrsquo prescriptions (just kidding) and so forth Then they became huge and did a dumb thing which they had to own up to The boss told me so that I could tell everyone else

The companyrsquos PR department became enraged that I had done so ldquoWhy canrsquot you be like (another reporter)rdquo they asked ldquoHe does exactly what we tell himrdquo I explained that I was a proper reporter ldquoRightrdquo the woman said ldquoYou have to meet with our general counselrdquo the top legal man

A friend advised me not to go ldquoThe man is a monsterrdquo my friend said ldquoHersquoll eat you aliverdquo Excellent I replied and what a great story Man eats reporter

Tragically the general counsel was a coward and cancelled the interview before it could happen Some monster

Much the same thing happened with a Government Minister He said something very dumb something very very dumb indeed Something yoursquod ground your seven-year-old for saying for a year So I reported it which was my job

I was hauled in to meet the Minister The Permanent Secretary explained that the Minister had indeed said the words in public but hadnrsquot wanted it reported ldquoThen he should have been an editor not a Ministerrdquo I explained

ldquoEither way yoursquore going to receive a beatingrdquo the PS said Excellent I replied and what a great story Minister beats reporter

ldquoWait hererdquo the PS said and that meeting was cancelled too

I once made a mistake Shocking I know but there it is I said a guy was from some-where that he wasnrsquot from He was a big shot at a reinsurance company I was banned for years from entering the company or even dreaming about it

Eventually the company needed something that only I could provide In I went and bumped into the dude I apologised profusely ldquoNo needrdquo he said ldquoI wish I were what you said I wasrdquo Eight years in the wilderness for nothing

I could fill this magazine thrice over with such stories but for some reason they like having lots of articles in it not just one So Irsquoll close with a short tale

One PR guy said hersquod land me an interview with the top man if I would write his reporter wifersquos stories for her for a week so that they could go on vacation Like a fool I agreed but the stories required specialist knowledge of the kind it takes a lifetime to accumulate I simply couldnrsquot write them When they returned from hols I was banned from the company for life

Ah the life of a reporter No matter how badly yoursquore treated therersquos always a story Reporter finishes article

14 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

The Visitor Industry Partnership (VIP) in association with lead sponsor the Bermuda Tourism Board is pleased to announce the first winner of the VIP Sunshine Award programme Mr Jame G Tweed a bus operator who was nominated by Mrs JoAnn M Brown of New York State This quarterly programme is designed to highlight a Bermuda resident who has gone lsquoabove and beyondrsquo to make a Visitorrsquos stay in Bermuda lsquoone to rememberrsquo Visitors are encouraged to nominate a resident using a nomination form that can be found in lsquoThis Week in Bermudarsquo or online at wwwvipbm

When Mrs Brownrsquos family visited Bermuda they felt that Mr Tweed went above and beyond his duty as

a public transportation bus driver She explained ldquoOur family had the pleasure of being passengers on his bus twice in the 3 days while we were docked in Bermuda Mr Tweed greeted all his passengers with a big smile and friendly demeanor He obviously enjoyed his job and was proud to call Bermuda his home He didnrsquot only drive us to our destination but he also proudly explained the sites and culture of Bermuda At one point he stopped the bus so the passengers could take a picture of one of the many beautiful beaches of Bermuda Mr Tweed represented all the people of Bermuda very kind and friendly We have traveled to many islands in the past and Bermuda is our top pick We are looking forward to returning to Bermuda someday and we will proudly recommend family and friends to visit Bermuda for vacationrdquo

The Chair of Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy is proud to congratulate and thank Mr Tweed for making the Brown familyrsquos Bermuda holiday such a special memory and for spreading some wonderful Bermuda Sunshine

Mr Tweed received a VIP Sunshine Award Pin and a congratulatory lunch compliments of the Island Restaurant Group with the Minister of Tourism the Hon Shawn Crockwell JPMP the Chairman of the Tourism Board David Dodwell and the Chair of the Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy Chairman Dodwell remarked ldquoIt is absolutely imperative that every man woman and child in Bermuda is gracious and welcoming to each and every one of our valued visitors Walking the extra mile doing that little bit extra is in the character and history of Bermudians from all walks of life This heritage of warmth and caring personality continues to be epitomized by Mr Tweed If everyone took a leaf out of his book Bermuda tourism will soon be on the road to recoveryrdquo

After hearing about this programme the General Manager of The Fairmont Southampton Mr George Terpilowski awarded Mr Tweed a complimentary hotel stay with dinner and breakfast ldquoEveryone in Bermuda is key to our visitors having a positive memorable vacation experience from the child in their smart school uniform giving a smile and a wave to the shop assistant bus operator the waitress and waiter and even the jogger on the railway trail taking their time to say hello with a happy face These are the positives our guests take away as precious memories The Fairmont Southampton is thrilled to participate in the Sunshine Award initiative It is our way of saying thank you to those who make Bermuda so much more and Mr Tweed is a shining example of going the extra milerdquo

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

48 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Bermuda Ha Hathe life of a reporterBY RoGER CRomBiE

When I was a reporter in Bermuda despite being the friendliest guy around I managed to upset the PR de-partment of every large insurer on the Island usually without trying

One of the very largest companies was once one of the very smallest I helped by writing press releases an-nual reports doctorsrsquo prescriptions (just kidding) and so forth Then they became huge and did a dumb thing which they had to own up to The boss told me so that I could tell everyone else

The companyrsquos PR department became enraged that I had done so ldquoWhy canrsquot you be like (another reporter)rdquo they asked ldquoHe does exactly what we tell himrdquo I explained that I was a proper reporter ldquoRightrdquo the woman said ldquoYou have to meet with our general counselrdquo the top legal man

A friend advised me not to go ldquoThe man is a monsterrdquo my friend said ldquoHersquoll eat you aliverdquo Excellent I replied and what a great story Man eats reporter

Tragically the general counsel was a coward and cancelled the interview before it could happen Some monster

Much the same thing happened with a Government Minister He said something very dumb something very very dumb indeed Something yoursquod ground your seven-year-old for saying for a year So I reported it which was my job

I was hauled in to meet the Minister The Permanent Secretary explained that the Minister had indeed said the words in public but hadnrsquot wanted it reported ldquoThen he should have been an editor not a Ministerrdquo I explained

ldquoEither way yoursquore going to receive a beatingrdquo the PS said Excellent I replied and what a great story Minister beats reporter

ldquoWait hererdquo the PS said and that meeting was cancelled too

I once made a mistake Shocking I know but there it is I said a guy was from some-where that he wasnrsquot from He was a big shot at a reinsurance company I was banned for years from entering the company or even dreaming about it

Eventually the company needed something that only I could provide In I went and bumped into the dude I apologised profusely ldquoNo needrdquo he said ldquoI wish I were what you said I wasrdquo Eight years in the wilderness for nothing

I could fill this magazine thrice over with such stories but for some reason they like having lots of articles in it not just one So Irsquoll close with a short tale

One PR guy said hersquod land me an interview with the top man if I would write his reporter wifersquos stories for her for a week so that they could go on vacation Like a fool I agreed but the stories required specialist knowledge of the kind it takes a lifetime to accumulate I simply couldnrsquot write them When they returned from hols I was banned from the company for life

Ah the life of a reporter No matter how badly yoursquore treated therersquos always a story Reporter finishes article

14 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

The Visitor Industry Partnership (VIP) in association with lead sponsor the Bermuda Tourism Board is pleased to announce the first winner of the VIP Sunshine Award programme Mr Jame G Tweed a bus operator who was nominated by Mrs JoAnn M Brown of New York State This quarterly programme is designed to highlight a Bermuda resident who has gone lsquoabove and beyondrsquo to make a Visitorrsquos stay in Bermuda lsquoone to rememberrsquo Visitors are encouraged to nominate a resident using a nomination form that can be found in lsquoThis Week in Bermudarsquo or online at wwwvipbm

When Mrs Brownrsquos family visited Bermuda they felt that Mr Tweed went above and beyond his duty as

a public transportation bus driver She explained ldquoOur family had the pleasure of being passengers on his bus twice in the 3 days while we were docked in Bermuda Mr Tweed greeted all his passengers with a big smile and friendly demeanor He obviously enjoyed his job and was proud to call Bermuda his home He didnrsquot only drive us to our destination but he also proudly explained the sites and culture of Bermuda At one point he stopped the bus so the passengers could take a picture of one of the many beautiful beaches of Bermuda Mr Tweed represented all the people of Bermuda very kind and friendly We have traveled to many islands in the past and Bermuda is our top pick We are looking forward to returning to Bermuda someday and we will proudly recommend family and friends to visit Bermuda for vacationrdquo

The Chair of Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy is proud to congratulate and thank Mr Tweed for making the Brown familyrsquos Bermuda holiday such a special memory and for spreading some wonderful Bermuda Sunshine

Mr Tweed received a VIP Sunshine Award Pin and a congratulatory lunch compliments of the Island Restaurant Group with the Minister of Tourism the Hon Shawn Crockwell JPMP the Chairman of the Tourism Board David Dodwell and the Chair of the Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy Chairman Dodwell remarked ldquoIt is absolutely imperative that every man woman and child in Bermuda is gracious and welcoming to each and every one of our valued visitors Walking the extra mile doing that little bit extra is in the character and history of Bermudians from all walks of life This heritage of warmth and caring personality continues to be epitomized by Mr Tweed If everyone took a leaf out of his book Bermuda tourism will soon be on the road to recoveryrdquo

After hearing about this programme the General Manager of The Fairmont Southampton Mr George Terpilowski awarded Mr Tweed a complimentary hotel stay with dinner and breakfast ldquoEveryone in Bermuda is key to our visitors having a positive memorable vacation experience from the child in their smart school uniform giving a smile and a wave to the shop assistant bus operator the waitress and waiter and even the jogger on the railway trail taking their time to say hello with a happy face These are the positives our guests take away as precious memories The Fairmont Southampton is thrilled to participate in the Sunshine Award initiative It is our way of saying thank you to those who make Bermuda so much more and Mr Tweed is a shining example of going the extra milerdquo

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

In The Arts

BY ARiANA C FRANCiS

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

48 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Bermuda Ha Hathe life of a reporterBY RoGER CRomBiE

When I was a reporter in Bermuda despite being the friendliest guy around I managed to upset the PR de-partment of every large insurer on the Island usually without trying

One of the very largest companies was once one of the very smallest I helped by writing press releases an-nual reports doctorsrsquo prescriptions (just kidding) and so forth Then they became huge and did a dumb thing which they had to own up to The boss told me so that I could tell everyone else

The companyrsquos PR department became enraged that I had done so ldquoWhy canrsquot you be like (another reporter)rdquo they asked ldquoHe does exactly what we tell himrdquo I explained that I was a proper reporter ldquoRightrdquo the woman said ldquoYou have to meet with our general counselrdquo the top legal man

A friend advised me not to go ldquoThe man is a monsterrdquo my friend said ldquoHersquoll eat you aliverdquo Excellent I replied and what a great story Man eats reporter

Tragically the general counsel was a coward and cancelled the interview before it could happen Some monster

Much the same thing happened with a Government Minister He said something very dumb something very very dumb indeed Something yoursquod ground your seven-year-old for saying for a year So I reported it which was my job

I was hauled in to meet the Minister The Permanent Secretary explained that the Minister had indeed said the words in public but hadnrsquot wanted it reported ldquoThen he should have been an editor not a Ministerrdquo I explained

ldquoEither way yoursquore going to receive a beatingrdquo the PS said Excellent I replied and what a great story Minister beats reporter

ldquoWait hererdquo the PS said and that meeting was cancelled too

I once made a mistake Shocking I know but there it is I said a guy was from some-where that he wasnrsquot from He was a big shot at a reinsurance company I was banned for years from entering the company or even dreaming about it

Eventually the company needed something that only I could provide In I went and bumped into the dude I apologised profusely ldquoNo needrdquo he said ldquoI wish I were what you said I wasrdquo Eight years in the wilderness for nothing

I could fill this magazine thrice over with such stories but for some reason they like having lots of articles in it not just one So Irsquoll close with a short tale

One PR guy said hersquod land me an interview with the top man if I would write his reporter wifersquos stories for her for a week so that they could go on vacation Like a fool I agreed but the stories required specialist knowledge of the kind it takes a lifetime to accumulate I simply couldnrsquot write them When they returned from hols I was banned from the company for life

Ah the life of a reporter No matter how badly yoursquore treated therersquos always a story Reporter finishes article

14 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

The Visitor Industry Partnership (VIP) in association with lead sponsor the Bermuda Tourism Board is pleased to announce the first winner of the VIP Sunshine Award programme Mr Jame G Tweed a bus operator who was nominated by Mrs JoAnn M Brown of New York State This quarterly programme is designed to highlight a Bermuda resident who has gone lsquoabove and beyondrsquo to make a Visitorrsquos stay in Bermuda lsquoone to rememberrsquo Visitors are encouraged to nominate a resident using a nomination form that can be found in lsquoThis Week in Bermudarsquo or online at wwwvipbm

When Mrs Brownrsquos family visited Bermuda they felt that Mr Tweed went above and beyond his duty as

a public transportation bus driver She explained ldquoOur family had the pleasure of being passengers on his bus twice in the 3 days while we were docked in Bermuda Mr Tweed greeted all his passengers with a big smile and friendly demeanor He obviously enjoyed his job and was proud to call Bermuda his home He didnrsquot only drive us to our destination but he also proudly explained the sites and culture of Bermuda At one point he stopped the bus so the passengers could take a picture of one of the many beautiful beaches of Bermuda Mr Tweed represented all the people of Bermuda very kind and friendly We have traveled to many islands in the past and Bermuda is our top pick We are looking forward to returning to Bermuda someday and we will proudly recommend family and friends to visit Bermuda for vacationrdquo

The Chair of Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy is proud to congratulate and thank Mr Tweed for making the Brown familyrsquos Bermuda holiday such a special memory and for spreading some wonderful Bermuda Sunshine

Mr Tweed received a VIP Sunshine Award Pin and a congratulatory lunch compliments of the Island Restaurant Group with the Minister of Tourism the Hon Shawn Crockwell JPMP the Chairman of the Tourism Board David Dodwell and the Chair of the Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy Chairman Dodwell remarked ldquoIt is absolutely imperative that every man woman and child in Bermuda is gracious and welcoming to each and every one of our valued visitors Walking the extra mile doing that little bit extra is in the character and history of Bermudians from all walks of life This heritage of warmth and caring personality continues to be epitomized by Mr Tweed If everyone took a leaf out of his book Bermuda tourism will soon be on the road to recoveryrdquo

After hearing about this programme the General Manager of The Fairmont Southampton Mr George Terpilowski awarded Mr Tweed a complimentary hotel stay with dinner and breakfast ldquoEveryone in Bermuda is key to our visitors having a positive memorable vacation experience from the child in their smart school uniform giving a smile and a wave to the shop assistant bus operator the waitress and waiter and even the jogger on the railway trail taking their time to say hello with a happy face These are the positives our guests take away as precious memories The Fairmont Southampton is thrilled to participate in the Sunshine Award initiative It is our way of saying thank you to those who make Bermuda so much more and Mr Tweed is a shining example of going the extra milerdquo

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

The Visitor Industry Partnership (VIP) in association with lead sponsor the Bermuda Tourism Board is pleased to announce the first winner of the VIP Sunshine Award programme Mr Jame G Tweed a bus operator who was nominated by Mrs JoAnn M Brown of New York State This quarterly programme is designed to highlight a Bermuda resident who has gone lsquoabove and beyondrsquo to make a Visitorrsquos stay in Bermuda lsquoone to rememberrsquo Visitors are encouraged to nominate a resident using a nomination form that can be found in lsquoThis Week in Bermudarsquo or online at wwwvipbm

When Mrs Brownrsquos family visited Bermuda they felt that Mr Tweed went above and beyond his duty as

a public transportation bus driver She explained ldquoOur family had the pleasure of being passengers on his bus twice in the 3 days while we were docked in Bermuda Mr Tweed greeted all his passengers with a big smile and friendly demeanor He obviously enjoyed his job and was proud to call Bermuda his home He didnrsquot only drive us to our destination but he also proudly explained the sites and culture of Bermuda At one point he stopped the bus so the passengers could take a picture of one of the many beautiful beaches of Bermuda Mr Tweed represented all the people of Bermuda very kind and friendly We have traveled to many islands in the past and Bermuda is our top pick We are looking forward to returning to Bermuda someday and we will proudly recommend family and friends to visit Bermuda for vacationrdquo

The Chair of Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy is proud to congratulate and thank Mr Tweed for making the Brown familyrsquos Bermuda holiday such a special memory and for spreading some wonderful Bermuda Sunshine

Mr Tweed received a VIP Sunshine Award Pin and a congratulatory lunch compliments of the Island Restaurant Group with the Minister of Tourism the Hon Shawn Crockwell JPMP the Chairman of the Tourism Board David Dodwell and the Chair of the Visitor Industry Partnership Dr Barbara OrsquoShaughnessy Chairman Dodwell remarked ldquoIt is absolutely imperative that every man woman and child in Bermuda is gracious and welcoming to each and every one of our valued visitors Walking the extra mile doing that little bit extra is in the character and history of Bermudians from all walks of life This heritage of warmth and caring personality continues to be epitomized by Mr Tweed If everyone took a leaf out of his book Bermuda tourism will soon be on the road to recoveryrdquo

After hearing about this programme the General Manager of The Fairmont Southampton Mr George Terpilowski awarded Mr Tweed a complimentary hotel stay with dinner and breakfast ldquoEveryone in Bermuda is key to our visitors having a positive memorable vacation experience from the child in their smart school uniform giving a smile and a wave to the shop assistant bus operator the waitress and waiter and even the jogger on the railway trail taking their time to say hello with a happy face These are the positives our guests take away as precious memories The Fairmont Southampton is thrilled to participate in the Sunshine Award initiative It is our way of saying thank you to those who make Bermuda so much more and Mr Tweed is a shining example of going the extra milerdquo

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

BY ARiANA C FRANCiS

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

wwwthisweekbm 53

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Whatrsquos happening at Robin Hood this month The 26th World Rugby Classic is upon us and this year marks Bermudarsquos 25th year of involvement ldquoPeople typically stop by for drinks on their way to the games We offer discounts on food and drinks to those who have rugby tickets as well as discounts for the rugby playersrdquo

2013 Rugby Players This year the eight teams competing will be from Australia Italy France USA South Africa Canada Argentina and the Classic Lions team which is a combination of different players ldquoIt will run from November 9th to the 16th except there will be no games on the Tuesday or the Friday Tuesday is reserved for the Classic Golf Tournament for the rugby teams to participate inrdquo

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

48 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

In The Arts

BY ARiANA C FRANCiS

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

48 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

In The Arts

BY ARiANA C FRANCiS

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

48 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

wwwthisweekbm 53

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

In The Arts

BY ARiANA C FRANCiS

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

48 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

48 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

48 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

In The Arts

BY ARiANA C FRANCiS

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

48 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

In The Arts

BY ARiANA C FRANCiS

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

48 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

wwwthisweekbm 53

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

48 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

St Eustatius with its only town looking towards its main volcanic peak in 1994 the ruins of the grand and marbled Government House of Governor de Graaf as seen in a recent photograph inset

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

In The Arts

BY ARiANA C FRANCiS

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

48 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

wwwthisweekbm 53

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

St Eustatius with its only town looking towards its main volcanic peak in 1994 the ruins of the grand and marbled Government House of Governor de Graaf as seen in a recent photograph inset

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

48 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

tours each Thursday at 1030 am at the BNG Group tours can be arranged by con-tacting educationbngbm Call ahead to confirm 441-295-9428

In The Arts

BY ARiANA C FRANCiS

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

48 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

wwwthisweekbm 53

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Roses in Bermuda RevisitedWith Lee Davidson amp Liesbeth Cooper BY CANDiCE DiCKiNSoN

ldquoEvery time a cutting is rooted or exchanged with friends I like to think that we are planting for the future and that in this respect at least our generation can leave this island a better place than it might berdquo Kate Richardson Founding Member Bermuda Rose Society November 23 1955

The Bermuda Rose Societyrsquos new book ldquoRoses in Bermuda Revisitedrdquo features all new digital photographs and identifies each rose by its bud the size of its bloom the shape of its leaf the height one can expect the rose to grow in a garden and conveniently explains measurement in both inches and centimeters

A new layout features the history of roses landscape anatomy an individual look at each rose care preparing for exhibition arranging and more

In Bermudarsquos sub-tropical environment most roses are in continuous bloom during the months of October through May Old fashioned roses such as Chinas and Teas bloom off and on all year round Imported hybrid roses can bloom themselves to death because they require a frost or a cool winter in order to go dormant They are also grafted on rootstock that is not ideal for growing in Bermudarsquos soil Bermuda Mystery Roses and roses from the Bermuda Rose Society are grown on their own roots ideal for planting and growing in Bermuda all year round

Gardeners all over the world plant Bermuda Mystery Roses From Japan Australia and New Zealand to all across the US In New York City the Heritage Rose Foundation has created a heritage rose trail in Harlem Local rose nurseries and students alike have come together and learned how to take slips from the roses and replant them Urban gardens are becoming really popular and are transforming some desolate spaces into beautiful rose gardens for people to enjoy

Roses in Bermuda Revisited was very much a group effort and Photographic editors Sally Madden and Susan Swift dropped everything when a perfect day presented itself for photo-graphing each rose in its ideal stages of bloom The entire group played a critical roll in re-viewing all of the content and studying photographs then choosing content to be featured

ldquoRegistered roses are highlighted with single quotes and mystery roses have double quotesrdquo

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Charlotte anna lefroy Botanicals from the Bermuda National Trust Collection

A few years ago I had the pleasure of touring the National Archives located in the Govern-ment Building Parliament Street with specific attention to the historical botanicals by Charlotte Anna Lefroy Itrsquos always a remarkable surprise to come across dated artwork in pristine condi-tion and in this case beautifully rendered with vibrant colours and precise detail Such is the Bermuda National Trustrsquos Collection of Lefroy artwork some of which was recently on display in and sponsored by the ACE Gallery curated by David Mitchell The exhibition of 24 botani-cal illustrations deserved an extension thus we offered to host it here at the BNG opening to the public September 13 and running to November 23 2013

Historically botanical illustration dates back nearly four thousand years to Mesopotamia and Egypt where agricultural civilizations created

motifs of plants on the walls of their temples and tombs Later in the 1st Century BC botanical art documented plants that were used as herbals for medicinal and religious reasons During the Renaissance inventions such as the microscope in 1590 gave access to the scientific structure of plants The 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as the Golden Age of botanical art with voyagers classifying and exporting plants to wealthy private collectors In 19th century England and America the art of botanical illustration became a desirable pastime with the lsquoHow torsquo or lsquoCopy Booksrsquo as they were known perhaps Lefroy was inspired by these publications

Born in Scotland in 1824 Charlotte Anna Lefroy arrived in Bermuda with her husband General John Henry Lefroy who was positioned as Governor of Bermuda from 1871 to 1877 Both were keen botanists and when moving to Bermuda Governor Lefroy organized for a gardener from the Royal Botanic Garden Kew Gardens England to select plants suitable for the Islandrsquos climate During Lefroyrsquos time in Bermuda she combined her inter-est in science naturalism and art creating a collection of paintings on local Bermuda fish and an album of 83 botanical illustrations from which comes this exhibition

Come soon to enjoy what the BNG has to offer When in St Georgersquos please visit the BNG East Admission is free take away a memento of your experience with the BNGrsquos impressions of Bermuda art book for $25

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

48 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

In The Arts

BY ARiANA C FRANCiS

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

poetry front and centre alongside all the other mediums of expression and on every stage from our small ones to our big ones such as Beachfest which is unprecedented in Bermuda because usually spoken word would only be in small audience eventsrdquo

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

In The Arts

BY ARiANA C FRANCiS

The Chewstickfoundation

If yoursquove found yourself travelling through the back of town on a Sunday night yoursquove most likely heard rumblings of rapping poets reciting and guitar strumming emanating from the Chewstick headquarters Their colourful and inviting space located on the corner of Elliot and Court Street is home to many artists and poets who gather to support one another and share their talents But one does not need to be an experienced musician or poet to perform Spoken Word one of Chewstickrsquos many creative outlets gives artists aspiring or amateur the opportunity to express themselves

Deidra-Lee Bean the administrator of the Chewstick foundation explains ldquoSpoken Word is an art form closely related to poetry People donrsquot necessarily use music or any other music representation to express themselves Chewstick is about story telling and spoken word is an awesome medium to get people started if they feel like theyrsquore not creativerdquo

Bean is no stranger to the mic She regularly perfomes at Open Mic night ldquoWhen I first started performing my poetry at Chewstick I didnrsquot write any differently to get up there and perform it but there were pieces that lent themselves better to performing When yoursquore up there on stage people arenrsquot just experiencing your word They are not seeing it on the page they are seeing you and the mic Itrsquos not just the poet getting up and reading but being conscious of the fact that they are now taking on a rolerdquo

Founders and long-time friends Najib lsquoTanzaouirsquo Chentouf and Executive Director Gavin lsquoDjatarsquo Smith have been on Bermudarsquos performance scene for over two decades ldquoChewstick has been in existence since late 2002rdquo Chentouf reflects ldquoWersquove been around spoken word since we were teenagersrdquo Their experience has led to the creation of multiple artistic outlets such as Beachfest Chewslam and Spoken Word ldquoWe recognized that there was a need for more than just spoken word poetryrdquo says Smith ldquoWe put spoken word and

Spoken Word is ideal for anyone with a voice that wants it to be heard or if someone simply wants to find that voice deep within themselves Open mic nights on Sundays at Chewstick are a comfortable judgment-free zone to do so Smith proclaims ldquoA lot of poets have that similar experience of not feeling comfortable sharing their poetry and open mic nights is a great opportunity to both hear and share spoken wordrdquo

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

We encourage golfers to become a part of the Port Royal Golf Course experience by playing this world class golf course which has played host to numerous major golf cham-pions

Membership packages make this fine public golf facility more affordable and our golf development program encourages new golfers into the game To those persons who want to see if golf is the game for them - we invite you to contact us at

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

St Eustatius with its only town looking towards its main volcanic peak in 1994 the ruins of the grand and marbled Government House of Governor de Graaf as seen in a recent photograph inset

wwwthisweekbm 51

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

48 This Week in Bermuda | NOVEMBER 2013

With another PGA Grand Slam under our belt the Bermuda golf season is in full swing Truth be told fall is the start of the real Golf Season in Bermuda - a time when our temperatures and seasonal weather is ideal for a challenging game of golf In addition No-vember through to March is the season which offers our country the greatest opportunity to maximise our low bed occupancy levels The challenge because of our low hotel rates pack-aged as a discount room rate together with

unsold tee times provide Bermuda with a product to sell to our golfing friends in North America UK and Europe who are experiencing the brunt of winter

bull Leveraging our PGA of America Relationship-

Bermuda enjoys an unique relationship with the PGA of America through the staging of their PGA Grand Slam for seven years which affords us an opportunity to get our mes-sage disseminated to every Club Professional in the United States of America

I envisage Bermuda sponsoring and hosting US PGA Club Professional to play and bring their members to Bermuda events in the fall and the winter The Goslings Invi-tational Mid Ocean Invitational and the Goodwill Tournaments are a template we can follow

bull Promote Local Tournaments Overseas-

The hospitable manner of our Bermudian people is one of our greatest assets - it be-hoves us to be inviting to our visitors - promoting local events overseas is a way to allow our visitors to mingle and feel the real warmth of our island home

bull Port Royal Golf Development Program-

Our golf coaching program is reaching out to visitors to help make their vacation more enjoyable by improving their golf game while on island

Golf Coaching for all levels together with tournament play that is both competitive and social are a way for us to encourage visitors to our shores and provide those already committed to a Bermuda vacation a way to connect with Bermuda

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Heritage Matters

BY DR EDWARD HARRiS MBE JP

ldquoBamboo Billyrdquo Goes to statia

In the 1770s the West Indies island of St Eustatius became the place where the American rebels of the lsquoRevolutionary Warrsquo could obtain goods especially war materiel that were de-nied them in other places The Dutch at lsquoStatiarsquo with their many Bermudian business com-patriots were only too happy to oblige and many a fortune over some five years of trading

Unfortunately for the merchants of war Admiral Rodney destroyed the mercantile centre at Statia in 1781 as he advanced through the West Indies putting paid to the French and other allies of the American rebels Subsequently the great naval man returned to England due to illness it is said that had he remained on the West Indies and America station that he might have prevented the losses at the Chesapeake and Yorktown perhaps delaying or negating the Independence of the United States

Two generations after the destruction a famous Bermudian seaman nicknamed lsquoBamboo Billyrsquo aka Captain William Hubbard Peniston (1828ndash1917) paid a visit to Statia in 1853 and left an interesting account later published in the Bermuda Historical Quarterly One hundred and twenty years later the venerable Bermudian antiquarian and artist Hereward Watlington also alighted on the island but that time from a small eight-seat aeroplane rather than a twelve-gun Bermuda sloop

For a period St Eustatius was one of the richest places in the West Indies with many warehouses lining the shore Admiral Rodney destroyed the entrepot that when he took the island in 1781

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

MattersHERITaGE

Captain Peniston was one of the most respected sea masters of his day and often plied the ocean from Bermuda into the West Indies bringing back sweet potatoes among other southern goodies At Statia in 1857 he observed that he lsquofound many descendants of old Bermuda

families who vied with each other in extending hospitality to mersquo When Hereward Watlington visited over a century later there were but a few such descendants left noting that his lsquoancestress Christina Loversquo was born on Statia in 1739 In place of the living Watlington brought home a list of the dead from the graveyard including familiar names like Jennings Hill Godet Packwood and Peniston When I visited St Eustatius in 1994 there was but one family of a Bermudian name the Godets possibly descendants of slaves of an owner of that surname

Bamboo Bill was greeted at Government House and remarked on its fine marble floors and the inability of its inhabitant unlike the rest of Statia to speak the Queenrsquos English Upon the refusal to surrender the island in 1781 it was through the front door of the House that Rodney sent his first shot which had the desired effect of capitulation The Admiral and his marines ransacked the island including digging up recently graves in which bullion had been buried to keep it out of British hands However some Bermudian ladies sewed such precious items into the cushions of Bermuda cedar chairs which items of furniture they

were allowed to take with them when ejected from Statia by the Admiral Statia never recovered from the sacking by Rodney and Bermudian warehouses yet lie in ruin on the sea shore

When Hereward Watlington saw Government House in 1979 it had become a ruin in yellow brick It was owned in the early nineteenth century by one Colonel De Veere He refused to deviate when lsquohis daughter suggested to him that he should consider marriage again he would reply [of his late wife] ldquoI cannot replace herrdquohellipHowever his bed was not unoccupiedrsquo

The ruins of one of the St Eustatius warehouses of its glory years of the 1770s Bermudians had considerable financial interests in that West Indies island in that period (courtesy of Marius Popma)

Relative Molly Godet Thomas in the commodious chair made for St Eustatius Governor Johannes de Graaff whose wife was the Bermudian Judith Godet (Governor de Graaf inset)

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

Do You Know

Bermuda probably has more caves per square mile than anywhere else in the world These caves are located in the older rocks close to the current sea level and were formed during periods of low water levels during glaciation cycles of the current ice age These cycles occur on 40000 to 100000-year time scales and we are now in an interglacial period following the end of the last ice age some 10000 years ago

As Bermuda emerged upward from the ocean during these interglacial periods the downward drag of water in dunes and depressions found weak pockets of limestone between the lower rocks and these were eventually flushed out The lowering water level then allowed air into these newly formed caves causing the formation of drip-rock and in time the formation of stalagmites and stalactites

Admiral Sir David Milne

The remaining stump of the Stalagmite removed by Admiral Sir David Milne is just over 2 feet in diameter It shows that 16 holes were drilled into the Stalagmite before it was cut

hellip about Bermudarsquos Caves admiral sir David Milne and a 600000-year-old stalagmiteBY HoRSt AUGUStiNoviC

Made of calcium carbonate Spelothems grow as long as there is dripping water in an air-filled cave and become Stalagmites if growing from the floor and Stalactites if growing down from the ceiling When they join they become columns or pillars Many caves that are now completely filled with water also contain Spelothems indicating that they were once above sea level

A major group of caves is located to the east of Harrington Sound the largest being Crystal Cave Admiralrsquos Cave another large cave is located between Blue Hole Hill and Grotto Bay and almost entirely above sea level It is called Admiralrsquos Cave after Admiral Sir David Milne who in 1819 removed a massive stalagmite from the cave and presented it to his friend

Professor Robert Jameson of the University of Edinburgh for the College Museum

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age

KnowDO YOU

The 1888 Bermuda Pocket Almanack contains the following report ldquoA splendid stalagmite cut from the Walsingham Caves is now in the Museum Edinburgh and has attached to it the following description lsquoStalagmite of Carbonate of Lime Sawn from the Floor of a Cave in the Island of Bermudarsquo The stalagmite was 11 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 3-12 tons

In1863 ndash 44 years after his father had removed the stalagmite ndash the Admiralrsquos son Admiral Sir Alexander Milne visited the cave where he had witnessed the removal as a boy and found that 5 drips had formed small knobs of new matter on the stump of the stalagmite He calculated that the new matter amounted to about 5 cubic inches and as the stalagmite consisted of approximately 44 cubic feet ndash or 76000 cubic inches ndash concluded that it would have taken 600000 years to form the stalagmite that his father had removed from the cave This calculation assumed that the deposits occurred at exactly the same rate as in the previous 44 years something that is highly unlikely

When HMS Challenger surveyed Bermuda in 1873 Sir CW Thomson had the stump of the stalagmite removed and also sent to the University of Edinburgh According to David Summers President of Crystal Caves tragedy befell the Bermuda stalagmite in 1973 when the museum was being altered Rather than remove the stalagmite from an upper floor it was allowed to fall through several floors and was smashed to pieces

Another view of Admiralrsquos Cave shows

calcite mineral deposits that are known as

flowstone draperies and wall rock Mineral

impurities in the calcite cause the range of

colour

The lower part of Admiralrsquos Cave is now under water The fact that there are Stalagmites in the water proves that the cave was once totally dry when sea levels were much lower during an ice age
