St. Barth Gourmet Festival to return in fall 2019

The St. Barth sixth-annual Gourmet Festival takes place this fall — another sign of recovery from a hurricane that wrecked the West Indies island in 2017.

The festival, which will be held Nov. 6-10, “reaffirms our position as the culinary capital of the Caribbean,” says Nils DuFau, president of the St. Barth Tourism Committee.

This year’s festival, which in the past has been hosted by New York-based Jean-Georges Vongerichten, focuses on French cuisine and will pair French Michelin-starred chefs with local chefs to create gourmet meals. A series of dinners will be held at fancy spots like the Hotel Christopher, Hotel Le Toiny, Le Sereno, Le Tamarin, L’Esprit Jean-Claud Dufour and Nikki Beach.

The island, a mere 9.26 square miles, was hit hard by hurricane Irma, which destroyed hotels and restaurants as New York billionaires and boldface names stayed away.

Since then, new restaurants have popped up, roads have been reconstructed and the last of the major hotel renovations have been completed.

Review: Animated ‘Chance’ takes on dog fighting with overly earnest yet well-intended spirit

The CG animated feature “Chance” is a well-intended but heavy-handed denunciation of the barbaric blood sport of dog fighting. The title character (voiced by Will Canon) is a dreamer of a pit bull, who believes in a canine god and a peaceful place where “Hatonas” (dogs) can live idyllic lives.... from latimes.com - Los Angeles Times http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-mini-chance-review-20190403-story.html>

Convicted rapist killer strikes again after getting out of jail

A convicted rapist killer who strangled a teen in 1981 and was suspected of cutting out the eyes out of an earlier victim has been arrested on a new rape charge, six years after he got out of jail. Christopher “Crazy Chris” Aniades, 62, is being held on an attempted forcible rape charge after he allegedly attacked the victim, according to the city Department of Correction. He’s being held at the Eric. M Taylor Center in Queens on first degree attempted rape, according to the city Department of Correction website. His arrest on Aug. 2 was based on a warrant issued by the state’s Division of Parole. The NYPD and the state DOC said they couldn’t provide details on Aniades’ latest offense. Aniades, who was released on Aug. 20, 2013 after spending more than 30 years in jail, became a poster boy of the violent 1980s in New York, when homicides routinely reached 2,000 a year. He was sentenced to 25-years to life for abducting, raping and killing 19-year-old Doreen Vitale on Oct. 15 198...
