The Gift of Today

Send your questions to [email protected] or follow uson twitter @korennorton and a response will be provided

December is here! The month many of us have been

waiting for where adults get to be like children and shout

with glee at receiving gifts. We are in the season of giv-

ing, but guess what? We do not have to wait until

December 25, to appreciate the gifts we will receive –

today, we can be thankful for the gifts we have. One such

gift is the gift of today. We have today.

Many persons did not make it today, they just never

woke up, but we did.

Open your eyes, your heart and your mind and seewhat you have. Instead of complaining constantly about

what we don’t have which makes us miserable and

unhappy, we can change our whole mood and perspec-

tive on life if we pay attention to what we do have. Do

you have a job? Many people don’t. Do you have the gift

of hearing? Some don’t. Aren’t you relieved that you do

not live in a war zone? At least for today…think about it.

Be Grateful. Say thanks often and learn to feel a

sense of gratitude. We are not automatically entitled to

many things, but we get them any way. So instead of

pouting when thing don’t go the way we want and throw-

ing temper tantrums when people don’t behave exactly

as we expect them too, we just need to accept that we do

not have ultimate control over everything and instead

have a spirit of gratitude for our daily blessings.

Share with others. Today is the day when we should

ask ourselves, “what can I do to make a difference?,”

“how can I give back?,” “how can I share some of these

blessings with someone who will benefit from them?” A

gift does not have to cost anything. It can be a smile,

some of your precious time, lending a book, or offering

someone your place in the line. When we help others, it

enriches our own lives.

Gratitude is a state of mind that can help us to over-

look challenges and cope with so many things in life. We

won’t bury our heads in the sand and not acknowledge

that there is disaster and sickness and injustice and ris-

ing prices and death all around us – but we will learn to

appreciate the beauty and the gift of life, in spite of all

that is going on.

Today is a gift and when it is gone, it won’t come

back, so let’s make the most of it.

On a recent yacht delivery to the BVI via Bermuda I

had a chance to visit the wonderful National Maritime

Museum on the archipelago’s western end. Like some of

our museums in the BVI, such as the VI Folk Museum,

Old Government House and the Lower Estate Sugar

Works, museums are fascinating places; repositories of

archives, artifacts and art from bygone days, and in the

case of Bermuda’s National Maritime Museum – all

things historically nautical. Museums remind us of our

history and teach us valuable lessons so as not to repeat

mistakes of the past.

Bermuda’s National Maritime Museum is housed in

the old naval dockyard, which was built to support the

Royal Navy after the American revolutionary war. There

are many interesting exhibits including the origins of

Bermuda’s population, the majority of which were

migrants from Caribbean islands. One exhibit that

attracted my attention was that of the Censorship

Department.

During World War 2 it was found necessary to

inspect all the mail leaving the US for Europe and vice

versa in order to expose any communication that would

hinder the war effort. There were hundreds of censors

and one of the requirements was that they should be lin-

guists, fluent in several languages. The exhibit showed

pictures of the offices at the famous Princess Hotel in

Hamilton where the censors worked as well as sea

planes and ships being unloaded and loaded with literal-

ly tons of mail and packages. It described the living con-

ditions where the censors were billeted and their off duty

pastimes. The exhibit also highlighted some of the inter-

ceptions; one parcel from the US was found to contain

large quantities of diamonds and thousands in ban-

knotes, sent from a Nazi sympathizer and bound for

Germany. Some messages were camouflaged in invisi-

ble ink and told of aircraft production and shipping

movements. Other messages, written on scraps of

paper, were from Jews interred in concentration camps

and begging the US for help.

The exhibit attracted my attention because both

my parents were employed in Bermuda’s Censorship

Department at the beginning of the war; in fact they met

there and towards the end of their service were married

in Bermuda. Of course I knew of this; it was sometimes

a topic of discussion during family gatherings, but I

never had any real insight into the operation. The

Bermuda exhibit changed all that; it was an eye-opener.

My mother was a major performer in their thespian

group, the Censorship Players, often taking the leading

role. They worked long hours but there were bicycling

trips, cocktail parties and swimming in the pool at the

Princess Hotel where they were accommodated. It could

be said that it was a plum assignment and I think that

both my parents realized it. From my point of view it was

a plum assignment too, for without it I wouldn’t be here!

Museums, they not only inform us of our past but

sometimes can be relevant on a personal note.

New Sports Center for AllSaturday, December 8 at 4pm, the New Life Baptist

basketball, volleyball etc., a fitness centre, food court

and full service restaurant. The gym membership offers a

variety of packages that include exercise classes and use

By Claudia Colli

Life is tough in The Bathtub, the island in the

Louisiana bayou where six-year-old Hushpuppy and

her father Wink live. Hushpuppy’s existence, along with

the other residents of this isolated community, is primal

and mystical. They believe in the presence of prehis-

toric creatures called aurochs and the relationship of

the larger world and their fragile existence.

Hushpuppy, who is both observer and narrator,

bears witness to life here. She lives in a shack made up

of the detritus washed up on The Bathtub’s shore. Her

father, who lives in his own shanty next door, is not well

and metes out tough love to teach his daughter the sur-

vival skills she will need when he is no longer around.

There is an inter-connectedness between Hushpuppy

and her neighbors who embrace life as one large fami-

ly. They drink, they party and they ignore what is hap-

pening on the mainland with abandon. But they are

aware that the world is getting warmer, the ice caps are

melting and that their lifestyle is in jeopardy.

The Bathtub is separated from New Orleans by lev-

ees and when a Katrina-style hurricane floods the com-

munity their tenuous existence becomes a fight for sur-

vival, not just from the rising water, but also for the way

of life they have honed for generations. Life in The

Bathtub is not easy, there are no trappings of modern

civilization, but this is the way these islanders like it

and no one is going to take it away from them. When

mainlanders come and force them to evacuate to a

shelter, they eventually escape what they view as

imprisonment and return to their island home.

There are no professional actors in Beasts of the

Southern Wild. Hushpuppy is played by Quvenzhané

Wallis, who was selected from among 4,000 children

who auditioned for the role, and was seven when the

movie was completed. Dwight Henry, who plays her

father Wink, is a Louisiana baker who has no plans to

give up his profession for Hollywood. They and the

other actors capture the feel and camaraderie of this

isolated community like no professional actors could.

Now nine, Quvenzhané Wallis’ performance is so star-

tling that she is already being talked of as an Oscar

Nominee for best actress, which if chosen would make

her the youngest actress to be nominated for this

honor.

The film is squalid and realistic and yet it is lyrical

and lovely. It is a movie with a big heart and Hushpuppy

is one of the most endearing heroines I have seen in a

long time.

Kristin Chenoweth Is Back In Country With Fox Awards As her year unlike

any other nears its end,

Kristin Chenoweth is

immersing herself in

country music again.

A co-host of last

year’s American Country

Awards on Fox, the

Tony- and Emmy-winning singing and acting dynamo

reteams with Trace Adkins (who’s had the job from the

start) to preside over the third annual event Monday,

Dec. 10. Lady Antebellum, Jason Aldean, Rascal Flatts,

Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Little Big Town and Jake

Owen are among those slated to perform as the fan-

voted honors are announced at Las Vegas’ Mandalay

Bay Hotel & Casino.

“We’re really excited,” Chenoweth says of reuniting

with country star Adkins to guide the show. “We really

get along, and he’s just a cool person. For some reason,

we have this crazy chemistry that people enjoy. I enjoy it

myself, and I was bound and determined to not lose that

date. That was my goal, to be there for that.”

Indeed, the American Country Awards marks one of

Chenoweth’s first big jobs since her devastating accident

last summer on the set of CBS’ The Good Wife. While

filming what was to be a recurring part as a political

reporter, she was struck by a fallen light fixture ... result-

ing in serious injury to her face, skull, neck, spine and

ribs. Her doctors didn’t expect her to resume work this

soon, but she did.

“I just can’t have idle hands,” the typically energetic

Chenoweth confirms. “I was down for two months easily,

then into the third month, I slowly started coming back

out a little bit. It was a life-changing event for me, and I

don’t want to milk it dry, but it’s something that will take

me a while to recover from. I still have injuries that I’m

dealing with, but overall, I’m so lucky to be back. I’m get-

ting there.”

A year ago, while filming the ultimately short-lived

ABC series GCB, Chenoweth had an added incentive for

involvement in the American Country Awards: her own,

then-new country album, Some Lessons Learned.

“Country music is very inclusive,” she reflects, “but

you’ve got to pay your dues there. I think there was a lit-

tle bit of, ‘Wait a minute, now. She may be so-and-so, but

she’s not been in our world.’ When I was asked to do

‘GCB,’ I think it opened up a little bit of acceptance for

me. I’ll do another song from the album on the show this

year; the way we’re doing it is a secret, but I think it’ll be

really fun.”

The end of the country road may not be in sight

yet for Chenoweth in recording terms, since she con-

firms she’s “thinking about” making another album in

the genre.

“I have a lot of other songs in mind, including a cou-

ple that I wrote,” she says. “I have a label that I have to

answer to (Sony), so we’ll see how they feel about it, but

I do see that in my future.”

While country still may not be the music form she’s

most associated with, after such Broadway successes as

Wicked and Promises, Promises, Chenoweth notes that

she “grew up singing that way, and a lot of country music

artists were my idols. I love Julie Andrews and Barbra

Streisand, but I also love Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn.

Those were my people. That was all we had in

Oklahoma, country radio.

By Dean “The Sportsman” Greenaway

Norval Young is a certified FIBA referee—the only

basketball signal caller in the Territory with that tag. He

has also begun the process of becoming a certified

FIFA referee. When that happens, he’ll be the only local

referee certified in two international sports – basket-

ball and football.

When I first saw him in the football locker room, I

stupidly blurted out, “What are you doing here?” I’d only

seen him on the basketball court so it was sort of odd to

see him lacing up his shoes for a football match.

He gave a warm smile. “I’m a football referee too,”

he stated.

His football trek began in January 2012. “I was

always interested in the officiating part of the game and

when Franka Pickering was president, I inquired about it.

She then passed my name on to the executive in charge

and it has been full speed from there,” he explained. “I’m

really enjoying it. It’s a lot of hard work but at the end of

the day, it pays off.”

“Compared to basketball,” he said, “there’s a lot

more running to do and you have to be a lot fitter. You

still have the normal player and game management to

deal with and you have a lot more egos on the football

field,” he observed. “Everyone feels they know the rules

but I don’t think we have it down pat.”

He became a FIBA – certified referee during a

Trinidad clinic in 2006, when the Basketball Federation

sent six officials there. He thought it was a clinic where

he would gain knowledge as he had never refereed a

basketball game before.

“I was more like a table official – scorer, clock man –

those kind of things,” he recalled. “I saw the material

and mechanics they were teaching. When we did the

mechanics test, physical fitness and written tests at the

end of the day when I checked the website, I saw that I

was certified. I was shocked because I never really antic-

ipated that, but things work out for a reason.” He was

the only one of the six to make the grade.

Norval played basketball starting at Bregado Flax,

in the BVI Basketball Federation league on the champi-

onship As Enforcers Squad. He also played on Virgin

Gorda with Yardies on the old court. During his studied

in Holland, Jamaica and England, h e played for the

school teams. “We are always successful in one way or

the other,” he noted.

Volleyball was another sport he als loved and

played on the Virgin Roots team in the local league.

But, his passion has been refereeing. Young said

he’ll continue getting more football refereeing experi-

ence and when the opportunity arises and an assessor is

in the area, once recommended, he’ll seek certification.

“I will just continue to do what I can do and do my

best, continue to improve and hopefully when that time

comes, it will all work out as well,” he said.
