BERMUDA haha

by RoGER CRoMbiE

The call came one day to pay a visit to the uS Consul General at his office on Middle road. I was thrilled. The higher and the mightier, the better, was always my view. I wondered what he could possibly want of me. a spy mission, perhaps? an arranged marriage with Condoleezza rice, who was in those days a very big shot in the uS Gummint? I had made no secret of my love for her. a fine couple we’d make, I used to say. She, at the centre of world affairs, bombing the innocents, and me a hopeless human wreck who mysteriously never appeared in public.

In person, you have to show respect, so I wore my finest suit for a visit to one of only four Consuls appointed directly by the President of the uS. The other international representatives are appointed by committee.

Security at the consulate had been provided for so many years by a Bermuda policeman, who as often as not would read a book to while away the empty hours. Then 9/11 happened, and the consulate became a better-fortified arrangement. I pulled up outside the dump, jumped out and informed one of the ladies at the booth that I had come to see the Consul General. I handed in my passport, birth certificate, bank pin number and so on.

While my identity was being confirmed with Homeland Security, some local defence wallahs checked under my car with mirrors on poles. I resisted the temptation to say: “Give it a nice wax job while I’m indoors, boys”.

The local Police officer who had been in attendance then took centre stage. “right,” he said. “Comb your hair and do your tie up. For God’s sake, pull yourself together.” I didn’t even know I’d fallen apart. He added some disparaging comments about my general air of dissipation. “and put out that filthy cigarette,” he said. I resisted the temptation to say “Hey, I’ll do the editorialising around here” and, duly chastened, drove through the gates and into the parking lot.

Verified, accepted, okayed and badged, I was shown upstairs and met some charming people, fellow writers. a few minutes later, I was ushered into the office of the Chief High representative of the greatest power in the history of power. To meet a man of his rank, I had scrubbed and clad myself to the highest degree possible and then pulled myself together on the doorstep, as instructed by Johnny Law. The Consul General, for his part, wore a hat indoors throughout our meeting, a faux pas worse than wearing your underpants on the outside. I might as well have worn pyjamas.

I can’t recall what we talked about that day, and my beloved Condi has since married another man, the lucky dog. as a result of the visit, though, I went on the CG’s Christmas card list that year. With extraordinary insight, the cat in the hat wrote on the card: “Happy Christmas, my fiend.”

eyes on Bermudaby Lisa HoWiE, DIreCTOr OF THe BerMuDa NaTIONaL GaLLery

In a very new move for the Bermuda National Gallery, we feature a photographic exhibition entitled eyes on the World, in partnership with The alexia Foundation. Here, international photojournalists address issues of social injustice. The images take viewers on a global journey to america, Germany, India, Cambodia, the Democratic republic of Congo, and the united Kingdom, ultimately arriving back in Bermuda. a portion of this exhibition is dedicated to local photo-stories that reveal some of the hidden or discreet matters that challenge the idyllic perception of this mid-atlantic gem.

In a film commissioned and co-directed by The Coalition for the Protection of Children, Lucinda Spurling captures the irony of poverty in paradise, using statistical information and testimonials alongside some startling images of a side of island life not often seen. It is an informative abridged version of the full-length film, which in its brevity is successful in raising critical questions regarding the costs of living, the education system and the support offered by government. The content has a universal quality, as poverty is an issue that transcends place.

Both adrian Kawaley-Lathan and Nicola Muirhead address the theme of escapism. While tourists may visit here to escape their reality, this short film and photo-story tell a very different version of escape. artfully crafted imagery offset the gritty narratives of personal choices run amuck.

Meredith andrews, who is featured twice in the museum, poignantly tells the story of Carla, a single mother raising three children (featured above). The black and white images soften the edges on what is clearly a challenging lifestyle for a woman who deserves more than a medal. Courage, strength, nurturance are but a few of the words that come to mind when viewing these images. I am reminded of Joseph Campbell’s text The Hero with a Thousand Faces; that we are all heroes in our challenging lives, advantaging (if we wish) the presented tools in order to overcome and be victorious.

eyes on the World is an exhibition that encourages pause: To consider the plight of the photographed; to reflect on one’s own positioning in society; and, further, to consider how one might make a change to society. What can we do for others?

also on display, in the Watlington room we highlight Women artists in the BNG Collection, a first ever exhibition that reflects diverse expressions and media from landscape paintings to contemporary sculpture. In the Ondaatje Wing is Impressions of Bermuda: The David L. White Gift to the BNG featuring works by visiting american Impressionist painters in the early 20th century. In the lower mezzanine we feature Meredith andrews: Portraits of Power, a series that captures the strength of the family unit.

by CandiCE diCkinson

when did your journey as artists begin and what inspired you to start?

niCk - “I loved sketching and after university took some painting workshops. I enjoyed early exhibition success and Horst augustinovic offered to publish me and has done ever since.”

JenniFer - I was in High School and at Boarding School in the States. I wanted to learn something different and challenging and I wanted to be taught how to draw. I attended classes in the evenings and just loved the experience of being able to create a picture from what I was looking at.

JaneT - I have always loved to draw, but did not begin painting in watercolours until 1980. I was encouraged by local artist Bruce Stuart to show my work for the first time in a solo exhibition at Heritage House in St. George in 1981. Following on from the success of this show, I showed my watercolours in several members’ exhibitions at BSoa and the Windjammer Gallery for the next ten years.

Please tell us a little about your work and what mediums you prefer to explore?

niCk - I have been experimenting with a fusion of mediums: concentrating on line (with an ink pen) and wash by adding colour with either watercolour or gouache. My work for this show is an ongoing exploration of a new style. It has a distinctive energy and animation; emphasizing line and colour. I cover the “narrative” of our unique Bermuda occasions - especially working directly at live events like the reconvening of the Legislature or in the street. The immediacy of working like this is both rewarding and challenging.

JenniFer -I love the use of vibrant colors sometimes adding an element of surprise. I enjoy the idea that for a few seconds that someone is viewing my work, I have presented my perception of reality. My paintings are mostly on canvas using acrylic or oils.

JaneT - When I first began to show my work back in 1981, I painted mostly in watercolours, but also did a few pieces in pastels. at that time I was a self-taught artist, exploring the medium and developing my style, which is fairly detailed and true to nature. after a successful period of about ten years, I began to feel that the fine detail that was so much a part of my work was becoming too restricting, and I took a break, hoping to find something new to inspire me. This inspiration did not come until 2000, when I was inspired in the most unlikely way to express my creativity. I discovered papier mâché. This was such a liberating and enjoyable new ‘hands-on’ experience that I embraced it totally, and it has occupied my time for the past ten years, during which I have created almost 200 fish sculptures. exhibitions in 2012 have brought me back full circle to plant portraits, but I feel the fish sculptures calling to me, and plan to resume them shortly.

www.thisweek.bm 23

In the Arts

what was the most memorable moment in your artistic career that you will always cherish?

niCk - It was having my first painting accepted for a juried show.

JenniFer - The day I was accepted at The School of The Museum of Fine arts in Boston matched with the day I sold my first painting.

JaneT - To achieve recognition for one’s work is always memorable, but I would have to say that making my debut into fish sculpture with my first solo exhibition in 2002 was a moment I will always treasure. The support and encouragement I received from my colleagues at Centre re was truly amazing.

do you have any advice to offer fellow artists who just can’t seem to find the time to commit to their creative side?

niCk -Set ten minutes just to create on paper: remember a scene, shape or pattern. It will help flex those memory muscles and sharpen observation. Practice is as fundamental to a creative pursuit as any other.

JenniFer - I think that organizing a show is a way to commit to doing the work. Becoming a member of The art Centre in Dockyard and the BSOa is a good start. They invite artists to show at the members shows and provide a calendar that gives a deadline to work toward.

JaneT - It is difficult to commit to spending time creating, especially if you have a family that requires your time. I was dealing with the demands of my young family when I began painting, and I would suggest that they “just do it” – a Nike slogan that I love. So often it is the physical act of sitting down with a pencil or brush and getting started that is the stumbling block. Once you experience the thrill of actually getting your ideas down on paper, hopefully you will be on your way. also, having a small space that you can devote to

your creative side will be a huge help and encouragement. It need not be very big, just a corner somewhere that you can leave undisturbed and go back to whenever time permits.

what advice can you offer someone who might like to explore his or her creative side for the first time?

niCk - Try some of the above and don’t worry if you can’t draw a straight line: nature doesn’t have many!

JenniFer - I think studying the work of other artists is an invaluable exercise. It helps to train our eye to work with our hand. I pick an artist to study each year and read about their life and learn about their work. It is inspiring to see how much devotion it takes in making the commitment to be an artist. It is that hard work and consistency that is necessary to get to the final goal. It takes patience and tenacity to keep going even when you are not getting the results you want.

JaneT - Personally I have gained a lot from reading books about artists whose work I admire, and also self-help books about exploring the mediums I enjoy. I would also highly recommend attending as many workshops and classes as possible to explore your creativity. Feel free to explore new mediums, which may open new doors for you. I worked only in watercolours for several years, but it was not until 2010, when I had the opportunity to take part in the first of a series of workshops “in coloured pencil” by Margaret Best, that I began to feel very comfortable with this medium and have used it with success in recent exhibitions.as a group, please tell us a little about the exhibit.

tight Lies in Bermudaby PaUL adaMs, PGa DIreCTOr OF GOLF | rOSeWOOD TuCKer’S POINT

During winter in Bermuda the native ‘bermuda grass’ tends to weaken, this is because it is a warm season type grass that grows best when it is 80 degrees plus, when it gets below 50, it tends to go dormant, this means it does not stand up so well and its growth is slow and weak.as a consequence of this weakening of the grass the ball tends to sit very low in the grass making it very difficult to make good contact with the ball. The key is to understand that a different technique is required when playing from a tight lie in the rough.

Tight lies

When the ball is sitting on a tight lie the club should approach the ball on a shallow angle. Imagine the club coming down as if it were a plane landing softly on the runway. The key to creating a shallower angle of approach is to limit your wrist hinge on the way back, as well as keeping the club head low to the ground and more to the inside. This then means the club will skid into the ball smoothly rather than bouncing off the firm ground. If the club bounces, it causes a bad shot and a resulting devastating loss of confidence.

rough

When the ball is sitting down in the rough around the green, the club should approach the ball on a steep angle. This is where we tell our students to imagine the club is coming down as if it were a plane crashing. The key to creating a steep angle is to hinge the wrist more on the back swing keeping the face open and the club head outside of the hands.

By learning how to control the angle of approach, a player will be able to hit solid shots around the green whether the ball is sitting on a tight lie or down in the rough.

Bermuda’s HistoryGLImpses of

the Last Great Floating dock at Bermudaby dR. EdWaRd HaRRis, M.B.e

By its very name, a dockyard signifies its job of ship repair and its most important feature, a ‘dry’ dock, whereby the bottom of a vessel can be accessed out of the water.

With small boats, it has always been possible to haul the vessel up a slipway on a trolley that runs on tracks into the water. For larger ships, when a dock was not available, the vessel was careened, by hauling it over one side at a time, to expose the hull below the water line. Most drydocks were graving docks built into the land, with a gate that was closed once the ship entered, following which the water was pumped out.

at the Bermuda dockyard, the subsoil and rock were unsuitable for the construction of a graving dock, though for over a century a spot was allocated north of the Great eastern Storehouse for that feature, the dockyard being founded in 1809. With the coming of the age of Steam and ships of iron, the matter became critical and the royal Navy reinvented the ‘floating’ drydock and in 1869, the Bermuda began thirty years of service in what is now the North Basin. The massive iron hulk, a marvel of the new Industrial age, was the toast of London town and was the first long distance tow across the atlantic via the azores.

With the invention of admiral Jackie Fisher’s Dreadnought Class of warships, the Bermuda was replaced in 1902 with admiralty Floating Dock 1, which performed well for almost half a century in the South Basin, which was built to accommodate the new dock. after the Second World War, aFD 1 was replaced by the last great floating dock, aFD 5, which saw but a few years in the Bermuda Dockyard before it was removed. Several smaller docks were in service during the War, with aFD 48 being sunk at Bermuda in the early 1970s.

400 years awaiting the Bishop by dR. EdWaRd HaRRis, M.B.e.

When Bermuda was settled in 1612, its church, the anglican one of the State of england, was placed under the Bishop of London, but it took 400 years before that prelate, in the person of the present bishop, The rt revd and rt Hon richard Chartres KCVO FSa, set foot in the place. as the Bishop of London in the 1750s, Thomas Sherlock, wrote, ‘for a bishop to live at one end of the world and his Church at another must make the office very uncomfortable to the bishop and, in a great measure, be useless to the people’.a note to His Grace, Bishop Chartres, was penned by the first Governor of Bermuda, richard Moore in the local newspaper and we are pleased to present some of its contents here, to give some context to that historic religious visit of November 2012.“Looking back from On High and over a perspective of 400 years of the permanent settlement of Bermuda, which began under my governorship, starting in July 1612, I do welcome you to these islands which some regard as Heaven on earth, albeit some four

centuries late. While the Bishop of London was given responsibility for our american colonies those many years ago (‘the care was improperly lodged’), your congregation here is delighted that at long last we shall be able to see the head of the Diocese of London in this paradise. We also hope to hear news of the capital and your words of wisdom and benefaction, as we hope you will deliver sermons to all of your churches hereabouts.”“Originally, your Church in Bermuda was to comprise four places of worship, the chief at St. George’s, the next in Hamilton Tribe, the next in Pembroke Tribe and the last in Southampton Tribe. However, the early Bermudians disagreed with the four-church regime of the Bermuda Company, so that your congregation eventually had a church in each tribe, all of which remain, albeit in more modern architectural guises.”

The Rt Revd and Rt Hon Richard Chartres KCVO FSA, Bishop of London.

“Now that you have come, we hope your visit will be a most enjoyable one and of benefit to your far-flung flock in the ‘second most remotest place on earth’. Indeed, you should be pleased with the activities of your Church here in this anniversary year which has assumed, with the consent of Her Majesty, the title of ‘Their Majesties Chappell’ (after a Warrant of William and Mary), a matter related to you as Dean of the Chapels royal. your very dedicated and active team there, under the guidance of the rector of St. Peter’s, the reverend David raths CD Ba BD, have done much to promote the Church in its four-hundredth year and I do commend him to you for being a very bright star in an otherwise lackluster firmament, as we otherwise used up most of our powder three years ago for the 400th anniversary of the sinking of the Sea Venture (1609).”“While many a storm has this island struck and your Church here ridden out its fair share of tempests, again I welcome you to Bermuda and hope that yours will be a temperate visit that is imbued with all that is blessed about this place, its people and your Congregation.”

The historic nature of Bermuda’s first church was recognized in early postcards.

Do You Know...about ‘hogge money’, 35,589 missing ‘Coppers’ and Fantasy Crowns?by HoRsT aUGUsTinoViC

When the Somers Isles Company took over Bermuda under a royal Charter in 1615, no currency was available to the colonists who instead used tobacco as legal tender. To encourage commerce, King James I in June 1615 granted Bermuda permission to produce coinage. Made in denominations of two, three, six and twelve pence, the coins were intentionally made from low-grade, brassy copper to keep them from being taken out of Bermuda because of their intrinsic value.

The obverse of the ‘Hogge Money’ showed a hog with the denominations in roman numerals and the legend ‘SOMMer ISLaNDS’ and the reverse a ship, possibly the ‘Sea Venture’. These Somers Isles Company coins were the first english coinage made for use in the americas with the weight/value ratio based on the weight of tobacco, not the metal content which was far below the stated value of the coins. By 1624 these rather crude coins went out of use.

after the experience with ‘Hogge Money’, Bermuda returned to the barter system with tobacco serving as currency, supplemented with Spanish silver and gold.

In 1793 an act of Parliament incorporated Hamilton as the future capital of Bermuda, relocating from St. George’s in 1815. It was this act that also began the process of having a coin authorized for Bermuda. On February 1st 1793, King George III authorized the issue of not less than £200 sterling in ‘coppers’ for Bermuda. The obverse was to depict George III with the legend ‘Georgius III D.G. reX’ and the engravers name ‘Droz. F’ and the reverse a ship at sea with ‘Bermuda’ above and ‘1793’ below. an act signed by Governor Henry Hamilton in april 1794 stated that coppers were to pass at the same rate as english halfpence – twelve coppers to the shilling.

The actual mintage by the Soho Mint in Birmingham was 83,589 coins, however, only an estimated 48,000 ever arrived in Bermuda. as Bermuda was at war with France at the time,

When the Bermuda Ship’s Penny was minted in 1793 – the year that Louis XVI was put to death by guillotine and France and England were at war – it was obviously difficult to ship coins to Bermuda. With French and Spanish ships engaging every British ship they could, it was decided to dispatch the coins on several ships, some of which were obviously captured by the French.

Of all the ‘Hogge Money’ found, the shilling (XII pence) is the most common coin, about 50 known to exist. The threepence coin is the rarest, with less than half a dozen known. No one penny coin has ever been found.

www.thisweek.bm 31

Do You Know

it has been suggested that the coins were sent to Bermuda in several shipments and that one of them was captured by the French. Most of the coins that did reach the island were soon exported as the intrinsic value of the coins was more than the face value. By 1823 there were no copper coins left in Bermuda.

Since 1793 no other coins were produced for Bermuda until the commemorative crowns of 1959 and 1964 and it wasn’t until 1970, when Bermuda adopted the decimal currency, that coins have been minted regularly for Bermuda.

In more recent years a ‘fantasy crown’ has made its appearance showing a bust of King edward VIII and ‘eDWarD VIII KING & eMPerOr’ on the obverse and again a ship at sea with ‘BerMuDa’ and ‘1936’ on the reverse, similar to the 1793 copper. No such coin was ever issued.

During 1965, unofficial Crowns, showing King Edward VIII, were offered for sale in the United Kingdom and the United States. Dated 1936, the obverse shows King Edward VIII and the reverse a sailing ship similar to the 1793 ‘Coppers’. As these coins were not issued officially, they are considered ‘Fantasy Crowns’.

The success of the 1959 Crown led the Finance Committee of the House of Assembly to authorize a second crown in 1964, commonly known as the ‘Vesey Crown’ after its Chairman the Hon. J.E.P. Vesey. 500,000 were minted, of which 30,000 were sold in Bermuda.

In 1959 Bermuda issued its first Crown to commemorate the 350th Anniversary of the

wreck of the ‘Sea Venture’ in 1609. It was the first

Bermuda coin issued since the 1793 Ship’s Penny. 100,000

Crowns were minted.

Until 1970, when Bermuda changed from Sterling to the Decimal Currency, British coins were in use on the island.

In 1951 Great Britain struck 120,000 One Penny coins, however, none were

issued in Great Britain. In 1956 some of the Pennies were shipped to Bermuda,

making them quite valuable.

How exciting & Now the Fun Begins!Once upon a time, no one is sure exactly when, a ring became a token of marriage. Who thought of it first or where the custom originated may never fully be known. The tradition was under way in ancient rome, where many brides wore a simple band of iron. People believed the circle of the ring symbolized eternal love. The concept of two rings – an engagement ring and a wedding band – came into vogue in the eighteenth century in england and has never gone out of style. you have done your homework, you know the four C’s and purchased your ring. Now you have to think about how you are going to propose….

There are many ways to do this – you can go out to dinner and give the ring to the waiter and then order champagne and have him drop the ring into the glass of champagne and as she drinks it she will finally see the ring and that’s when he finally drops to his knees and proposes – takes a lot of guts for a guy in a restaurant – but heck if he is willing to do that – say yeS! That probably means he would do anything for you. yeah well that is soooo traditional or you can think out of the box and put a little different twist on it. He can take you to where you first met, take you to the beach and write it in the sand or whatever or you can have fun too, read this story...

How about he tells you that you are going to dinner, and he’ll meet you at home after work so the two of you can get ready together to go out. you arrive home and he is nowhere to be found but what you do find is a table set up with pictures of the two of you, champagne and a rose and a box.

Inside of the box is a note that says ‘Will... you go to your mother’s house’, once you get to your mothers, you see another rose and over a glass of wine she tells you how he has been to see them and she presents you with another box that he has left for you - you open it and another message is inside of the box and says ‘you… go to your grandmother’s house! you then proceed to your grandmother’s house and are greeted by all of the special people in your life, to you who have also been left with roses, and over another glass of wine your grandmother presents you with a box and once again there is another message that says, ‘Marry… meet me at Harbour Front restaurant at 8:00pm don’t be late’. you arrive there looking your best and are greeted at the door by him and led to your table. you are seated and after a glass of champagne and chatting about the nights exciting events, he starts to tell you about how amazing you are and how he wants you to be a part of his life forever. He pulls the final box out of his pocket and gets down on one knee and in front of everyone in the restaurant he asks you to marry him. Inside of the box is the last piece of the puzzle, the final note that says ‘Me!!!’ and a beautiful engagement ring!

The restaurant erupts into applause and cheers! – now how romantic is that! That was a true story!

So you see you can have a lot of fun getting engaged, just use your imagination…that is the only limit!

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

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

Largely constructed between 1823 and 1828, this commanding Georgian ‘house’ epitomizes British imperial style, power and engineering wherewithal during the nineteenth century. an experimental building in several regards, Commissioner’s House may have been the first domestic project anywhere to use cast iron to support its floors and roof. rescued from near dereliction through a protracted, award-winning restoration, the building—one of the most important on the island—now houses exhibits on slavery, history of tourism, Bermuda’s connections with the West Indies and the azores and Bermuda’s military and seafaring history. Open during regular Museum hours.

Jessicasous CheF |BOlerO resTauranT & Bar


Meet Jessica, Bolero restaurant & Bar’s Sous Chef. She is here living and working in Bermuda all the way from Jakarta, Indonesia. Before landing in Bermuda Jessica was working in the Cayman Islands. Jessica trained in Hotel & Tourism Management at the Swiss German university in Indonesia and gained work experience both in her home city and in Germany.

what brought you to the island of Bermuda, what do you love about living here and where to next?

I was looking for some overseas work experience. It was difficult to get a work permit anywhere besides the Middle east or Caribbean so I choose Bermuda.

I spend a lot of time experimenting with cooking, trying new things. The Island is just a beautiful place to be and I am enjoying it. after my time here on the island and working at Bolero, I might travel for a while and do some writing, another passion of mine.

Tell us about working at Bolero.

It is a great job, I really enjoy it. I have a good boss; he gives me lots of trust. I can discuss things with him. He treats me like a partner not an employee. It is a great place to work.

Be sure to try out our daily specials that we offer each day, keeping our menu alive and interesting.
